Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

The industrial development of the Republic of Japan has been rapid. In just over two years, the steam engine has been updated to the third generation. The various factories now are all built by Rhett and are state-owned enterprises. But Rhett still feels that development is too slow. Now that he has established trade with the West Bay Federation, it is impossible to capture the entire West Bay Federation market with the products produced by just a few factories. So Red decided to open up private enterprises and let his people build factories.

First of all, we must encourage them and provide certain financial support to those who set up private factories. Then they can buy the first- and second-generation steam engines that have been eliminated. There is no use keeping them anyway, so they might as well sell them all.

Of course, he is not afraid that steam engines will flow to the West Bay Federation. The high-precision machine tools that Red relies on now, and the barrels and barrels made by steam engines cannot reach standardization.

Dodd is a villager who has lived in Jiliming Village since he was a child. His family grows vegetables. If he has extra vegetables, he will sell them to the Royal City or other cities. He likes the scenery along the way and the various kinds of things he encounters on the way. All kinds of people. After the Goblin incident, there was only one 15-year-old sister left in the family. My sister had been suffering from high fever and cough from time to time since she was 13 years old. In the past, the family always went to the doctor in the village to see her, but she could only get relief for a while. Time comes again.

Thanks to the hospital opened by His Highness Rhett, the disease that had been incurable for many years was cured all at once. Now his sister can also do some housework, and Dodd goes to work in the factory in Vic City every week. I'll be back in two days off. (Why don’t you ride a bicycle? Because there is no rubber, bicycles cannot be mass-produced. They are all made by Red’s hands, so I only go to work for a week)

Dodd is very satisfied with his current life and is very grateful to His Highness Rhett, but he is very tempted by the new policies he has seen recently. Can I set up my own factory? Then you can start your own business again? Although the train was about to be built, and the road was paved with wooden boards and steel, and he heard that it would be able to return once a day, he still wanted to do what he liked.

He still likes to walk around and doesn't like the two-point-one-line life. This idea has been in his mind for a long time. So during the next weekend break, he returned home and wanted to talk to his sister about it.

While eating, Dodd spoke: "Tami, brother wants to tell you something."

Tammy put down the bowl and said, "Brother, when you came back today, I found out that you were hiding something from me. Did something happen?"

Looking at his sister's pretended calm expression, he couldn't help feeling that she was too strong, not as strong as she should be at her age, so he hurriedly said:

"Nothing happened. Don't worry. Brother just wants to discuss it with you. Look, His Highness Rhett recently said that he would support us. Ah, yes, starting a business means setting up a factory by oneself, and then producing things and selling them yourself. And if you want to Whatever we produce, the national research center will also help us.”

"So my brother wants to start a business?"

"Yeah, so don't I want to discuss this with you?"

Tammy felt relieved and said, "Of course I support my brother, but has he thought of setting up a factory?"

Dodd said with an embarrassed look: "I... haven't... thought about it yet."

Tammy seemed to have guessed this result a long time ago, so she smiled proudly and said: "I know that we can't do business like this in the future. Why not build a soap factory?"

"Why a soap factory?"

"Think about it, His Highness already has glass and cloth, so you can't make it too. What His Highness makes are items that only nobles could afford in the past. I can only think of soap."

"That makes sense. You are so smart, Tammy! Why don't you help me think of countermeasures from now on?"

"Don't be ridiculous, brother, go to the city hall to register now. If you are late, be careful of others getting ahead of you."

"Yes, yes, I'll go now." After saying that, he rushed to the city hall without stopping.

Today is the day that Kanter comes back, and he has brought a large number of immigrants. Rhett is very busy today, but he found that this group of immigrants is much smaller than before, so he asked Kanter: "Why are there only five or six this time?" Thousands of people, weren’t they tens of thousands before?”

Kanter replied: "There are fewer and fewer refugees escaping from the Goblin incident. Many people have starved to death or sold themselves as slaves. There are still more than 1000 people in my group who are in the hands of slave traders." Bought, Your Highness, from now on we can only increase the population by buying slaves."

In the past two years, the total population of the Yaori Republic has been close to 25, and the Nirvana Army has a standing force of 5000. All the black powder used in firearms has been replaced by smokeless gunpowder.

After hearing this, Rhett said that it was okay to buy it from slave traders, but there were no slaves in the Republic of Japan, and no slaves were allowed. Everyone was a civilian.

Just as the two were discussing immigration work, Pearl came: "Your Highness, there is good news. Someone has come to apply for entrepreneurial funds."

Rhett's mood suddenly improved and he said, "That's great, what is he going to do?"

"Preparing to open a soap factory"

"Smart! It seems that this man is a qualified businessman."

Kanter didn't understand, so Red explained it to him. Kanter was still puzzled after listening: "Why should it be left to civilians? Wouldn't it be better to have it in your own hands?"

Pearl continued to explain: "If that were the case, the market would be inactive. Everyone knows that this factory is run by His Highness Rhett, so who would dare to do the same thing? Over time, everyone will be content with the status quo, and society will not be able to Progress has been made”

"I still do not get it"

Rhett patiently explained: "Tell me, how long has it been since the last battle with the Demon King?"

"More than 100 years ago," Kanter replied.

"Don't you think this is abnormal? In the final analysis, it's because the nobles control most of the resources, but they don't want to make progress and only enjoy themselves."

"So you want to break that?"

"That's right! The Samurai Demon Society is so rampant, but the Alliance and the Church have done nothing. I have to protect myself."

"I understand what you mean"

"Oh, by the way, next time you go to the Stephen Empire, remember to open up some connections. I plan to build a new city near the new Great Wall they built. It will serve as a transit station. We want to expand trade."

"Your Highness, is it necessary?" Kanter asked: "Is it because buying slaves is too expensive?"

"It's not because of this, but I'm ready to regain all the lost lands, including the lands of the Kingdom of Nas and the Kingdom of Enju."

As soon as these words came out, Kanter became excited: "Really? Please let me go with you when the time comes."

"No, you should continue to establish relations with Stephen's empire. After all, war requires money," Reid continued:

"I've always been curious. The Warcraft border is within the Stephen Empire, and the Holy Academy is right behind the border. So where did these goblins and Warcraft come from?"

Kanter also found it strange, but if he wanted to know the truth, he could only wait until all the lost ground was recovered.
