Kingdom Development

Embers of the Burned Kingdom's technological development route is unusual. It is not a little exploration, but more like "finding according to the picture" - for example, they directly created a piston steam engine for the normal operation of the train.

The players of Church of the Machine God left behind a large number of drawings and information from another world before leaving.

In return, they will receive the initial shares of the railway group when they return to Erezege, and they will also have a share of the profits from Steam Engine Car transportation.

The kingdom's local researchers only need to follow the drawings and combine these exquisite drawings with the magical response of Erezege. It can be called the magic version of the "Industrial Revolution", but it eliminates many twists and turns and can make the most correct choice every time.

The successful experiment of steam trains is only an insignificant part of North Wind Fortress's many achievements over the years. The changes here are obvious.

Chimneys rise from the ground, causing thick smog to appear over the city.

With the continuous development of industry, North Wind Fortress already has nearly fifty military, food and other various factories with nearly 20,000 workers. With the strong support of policies, all kinds of weird "new gadgets" emerged in an endless stream, and some lucky ones even became nobles through their inventions.

There will no longer be beggars starving to death on the streets in the city - Tiefling City Guard will not hesitate to take them away and send them to various factories that are short of manpower, and become the lowest level of sweat workers, receiving wages that can barely maintain food and clothing.

Now, most of these factories are officially built by the Embers of the Burned Kingdom. With the expansion of interests, more and more wealthy businessmen and Dragon Blood Noble are ready to follow suit and invest their assets in this increasingly prosperous business. However, the kingdom has not yet given specific channels.

However, as this trend intensifies and the demand for industrial expansion increases, privatization is almost inevitable. Some Dragon Blood Noble have obtained so-called "shares" through various relationships, and even some businessmen who are quick-thinking and think they are smart have established private factories.

It's just that it was completely unable to compete with the authorities and led to bankruptcy.

The products produced by these factories can not only meet the needs of the city, but are also sold to the North countries along with Hart's kingdom caravans. Daily necessities such as scarves and cotton-padded clothes with the "Flame and Dragon Claw" coat of arms have appeared in Anzeta places. They have become more and more common in Scania People's life, and have even become indispensable.

Bosque Duchy even used slogans such as "Resist the temptation of the dragon" and "Don't let monsters cheat you of your gold", and imposed various restrictions on the kingdom's products.

But they still can't stop the people's enthusiasm for consumption, nor can they stop the dumping frenzy of the Ember Kingdom. Even if the Principality of Bosque uses all its means, it can't stop the endless stream of smugglers - after all, in business competition, high quality and low price are the best swords.

And Bosque Duchy, which has such a powerful government and has the most severe jurisdiction over the people in its territory, cannot resist the sugar-coated bullets of the Embers of the Burned Kingdom, not to mention the remaining scattered principalities. Even if they are added together, they are not the unified enemy of the kingdom.

Those small workshops with a long history in the city and small workshops based on family units have declared bankruptcy. Many urban residents have been unemployed one after another, and even become beggars living on the streets. Even the Northern Nobles of Gold Coin have been taken out of the pockets of the Kingdom in large sums.

Those dukes could not stop the outflow of gold and the collapse of the economy. They did not understand the mystery and simply let nature take its course.

Several families even volunteered to become compradors of the kingdom, taking the lead in wielding the harvest sickle to their own people, and then taking a sip of the soup of product dumping.

"Master George. Master George?"

An urgent voice came from behind.

George was called several times but did not respond. It was not until the other party shouted "Sir George" for the third time that he realized that the so-called "sir" was calling him.

"Ah, so you are calling me."

"What's the matter with you?"

He turned around, smiled honestly, and scratched his head sheepishly.

From a beastly serf to the current First-Class Citizen, even though it had been several months since that award, he was still not used to it. However, such a title also made him feel secretly happy. The feeling of being respected was unprecedented, and the satisfaction in it was unimaginable by others.

The man was panting, but he still did not forget to salute. After all, the other person was "First-Class Citizen" second only to Dragon Blood Noble, and he was just an ordinary worker, and the status gap was as big as heaven.

"Hoo, hoo"

"Sorry to bother you, I am Jack, a worker in the factory."

"Da Tou Viscount ordered that a batch of urgent orders be sent from above and everyone needs to come back to work. Including you."

After saying this, Jack carefully looked at George's face. After finding that there was no anger on the gentleman's face, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I understand, you can go back."

George waved his hand casually and replied.

When he sees cautious workers like Jack, he always thinks of his former self.

George did not become the owner of a flower shop and find a woman to marry as he once imagined. After getting to know higher-level people and seeing more things, he realized that the factory was really a promising place and received strong support from the kingdom's officials - provided that you were not an ordinary sweat worker.

So George took advantage of First-Class Citizen's privileges and became a glorious factory administrator. His working place was in his original factory, and he was even assigned dozens of workers.

"There's been a lot going on lately."

George calmly returned to his spacious home, put on the gray formal suit specially provided by the kingdom, tied on the brown scarf from Kenyaza City, held a black gentleman's staff in his hand, and put on a neat hat.

Only then did he come to the street radiantly and hail a carriage on the road.

There were many envious looks from nearby, which seemed extremely respectable to ordinary citizens.

George walked into the carriage and casually ordered:

"Go to Food Processing Factory No. 4."

"Okay, sir, please sit still."

The coachman nodded in greeting and then drove the carriage down the street.

With careful planning, the streets of North Wind Fortress have become spacious enough for four carriages to drive side by side, and there are even special four-wheel carriage tracks for those wealthy people to use. It is said that this place will be converted into a public Steam Engine Car track in the future, but no one can tell.

With the sound of wheels rubbing against steel, the carriage quickly arrived at its destination - Food Processing Factory No. 4.

With the support of the driver, George calmly got off the carriage and saw this familiar yet unfamiliar factory again.

But once he was just a worker as humble as dust, but now his identity and status are completely different. He is already the glorious "First-Class Citizen", half-stepping into the circle of the upper class.
