Magic Industrial Age

In Luo Yi's understanding, the most important thing to accomplish something is people's hearts.

When people are of one mind, they can move Mount Tai—this isn't just empty talk!

So, the second thing he did after becoming a count was to find ways to unify the thoughts of his vassals.

In fact, these nobles and knights who grew up in the Duchy of Normandy have their own cognitive patterns.

In a short period, if you insist on making them understand what magic-powered machinery is, what freedom is, what the transition from small-scale farming to capitalism is, what industrialization is...

These things are really too difficult for them!

Luo Yi didn't intend to force a change, but he would tell them his ideas and what he wanted to do!

Most importantly, he didn't plan to learn from Count Karl Raymond and use strong-arm tactics to promote the implementation and popularization of magic-powered machinery.

Firstly, he didn't have that kind of prestige, and he couldn't push it through!

Secondly, facts have proven that it was wrong, so he naturally wouldn't repeat the mistake!

Therefore, his policy was to first maintain the existing system, appease the hearts of his vassals, and then find ways to promote the development of magic-powered machinery.

As long as his vision is completed, as long as there are huge benefits, he believes that these vassals will take the initiative to understand, recognize, and participate.

That's much better than the current painstaking efforts.

Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish, subtle changes, bit by bit progress, this is the right way, and it will not cause turmoil!

Of course, Luo Yi's methods were very gentle, and the policy also took into account the interests of the old nobles, but the final warning was not fake.

He didn't actually believe in these people's oaths,

He even felt that the destruction of Raymond Castle, including the extinction of the direct bloodline, might have involved these people.

Otherwise, with the Raymond family's control over Fresh Flower Territory, how could those people have come and gone so silently?

In this world, even legends have to eat.

Didn't these vassals really discover anything?

Or, had they already participated in it?

Don't think that Luo Yi seems very calm, in fact, this Lion Manor has been screened inside and out countless times.

Now, Oliveira has fully taken over the guard work.

If he is really discovered, Luo Yi will definitely not hesitate to use thunderous means to make an example of others.

However, at least for now, no one is giving him this opportunity.

Of course, the banquet that night was not a pleasant one for everyone. Even though the melodious music sounded, there were not many people dancing on the dance floor.

Everyone was thinking about Luo Yi's words, so they seemed a little absent-minded.

However, Luo Yi didn't bother to care about them, but ate a mouthful of food, said a few words, and returned to his study.

This is on the third floor of the manor, a luxuriously decorated study, which includes desks and chairs for office work, books for decoration.

It also includes a small living room, several comfortable sofas, which can be used for resting and chatting.

Butler Hoover knew Luo Yi's habits, he liked to receive guests, handle affairs, and even draw and study in the study.

Therefore, after he took over the manor, he specifically selected this study, cleaned it separately, and completed the layout.

It was also here that Luo Yi received his first guest, not anyone else, but the executor of magic-powered machinery, Sir Hick Cruz.

Seeing him step into the living room with the demeanor of a scholar, Luo Yi had already poured him a cup of black tea and pushed it in front of him.

"Sit!"

"Thank you, Count!"

Sitting face to face in the sofa area, Luo Yi took a sip of tea and asked, "Sir Hick, were you disappointed today?"

"Disappointed? Why do you say that?"

"I denied what my father did, shouldn't you be disappointed?"

Hick Cruz said very simply: "You are not your father, of course you can't blindly follow his methods.

Moreover, the Earl's death has already shown that our previous choices and methods were wrong, there is nothing to say."

After a pause, he added: "In fact, I am already very surprised by your choice.

I was even prepared to be kicked out and embark on a wandering journey again."

Luo Yi retorted: "I have studied in the Hapsburg Empire for two years, I don't necessarily know less about magic-powered machinery than you."

"But I have seen too many people who suddenly rise to high positions and betray their class.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon, this is the norm!"

"Haha, it seems that Sir Hick has really seen the warmth of human relationships, but in Fresh Flower Territory, I hope you can give full play to your strengths and fulfill your wishes."

"Hope so!"

Hick Cruz's interest was not high, and he was even a little listless. He said, "The previous method was definitely wrong. Now, I actually don't know what to do?"

"Then take a look at my plan?"

As he said this, Luo Yi had already handed over a document.

Hick Cruz looked at the parchment, then at Luo Yi, but just as he reached out to take it, Luo Yi withdrew his hand.

He said, "Sir Hick, I would like to say one more thing, once you read it, you can't back down?"

Seeing Luo Yi's solemn expression, Hick Cruz pondered for a moment, and then resolutely took the document in his hand.

He unfolded it and read it line by line. At first, his expression was still very indifferent, but later, he was shocked.

Especially when he saw the concept of staggered trade, commercial complementarity, intercepting resources, harvesting gold Thalers, investing in the territory, and cyclical development...

Once these ideas and thoughts came out, he couldn't hold back any longer.

He stood up with a 'brush' and began to pace in the study, sometimes scratching his head, sometimes rejoicing, sometimes frowning, sometimes seeming to think of something, with a fanatical look...

Finally, he walked to Luo Yi's side, sat down, and said, "Count, this plan, did you write this plan?"

"I'm not doubting, I just want to ask, this, did you really write this?"

Luo Yi raised his head slightly and asked, "Doesn't it look like it?"

"No, it's just too amazing, it's really too amazing."

"So, do you think it is feasible? Are there any areas that need to be revised?"

The latest novel is first published on 69 Book Bar!

"There are definitely details, and there will be many practical problems in implementation that need to be solved in practice, but it is already very perfect.

It's just, it's just..."

"What is it? You can speak freely!"

"Two points. First, the research and development capabilities mentioned here, it is not easy to create machines that the Empire urgently needs or cannot be replaced?"

Luo Yi nodded and said, "Magic-powered forging hammers, magic-powered steelmaking furnaces, and soul-stabilizing spices, these three will definitely be enough as export products in the early stage.

As for the later ones, I will do the design and Lilia will help me realize them, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"That's the second point, you have to open up sales channels in the Hapsburg Empire, and you have to have strong relationships, otherwise, the business may be easily envied."

Luo Yi smiled again: "You don't have to worry about this either. You thought I was joking when I said I had accumulated hundreds of thousands of gold Thalers in wealth and industry?

I have the connections; I also have the backing!"

"Moreover, I can feel that the Empire doesn't seem to have given up on their plan and is somewhat looking forward to our cooperation.

So, there shouldn't be a big problem."

After a pause, Luo Yi added: "I have already set up a communication magic circle and contacted the Imperial Ambassador through people.

When the time comes, you can also come along, I need your help."

"I will obey your orders."

As he said this, Hick looked at the scroll in his hand and said, "Actually, with this complete plan, it doesn't make much difference whether I am there or not."

Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "I need a strong executor. You were responsible for this before; now, I hope you can be more responsible."

"Is that okay?"

"Of course!"

"By the way, there is one more thing I need you to do!"

"Count, please tell me?"

"I know you have a group of people in your hands, which my father gave you, in order to help you promote the development of magic-powered machinery, and they are scattered throughout Fresh Flower Territory.

I need you to mobilize them to supervise the implementation of the three decrees in various places."

"I need Fresh Flower Territory to stabilize in the shortest possible time, and only when it is truly stable can we carry out other plans."

"I will obey your orders."

"Then that's it for today. If you have any questions, you can tell me in time!"

"Yes!"

Hick Cruz responded, feeling full of energy.

However, just before he left, when his gaze fell on the information in his hand, he couldn't help but say, "Count, can I take this back and study it carefully?"

"Yes, but don't leak it. I don't want others to get the plan and snipe me."

"Of course not!"

Sir Hick Cruz left, his back completely different from when he came, like a fighter, ready to fight the heavens and the earth.

And not long after he left, Ang entered.

He walked to Luo Yi's side, bowed slightly, and said, "Count, I have selected a group of people, and they are currently undergoing intensive training.

It's just, are we really going to implement this infiltration plan?"

Luo Yi nodded slightly: "Of course, I don't want to pin my life on the enemy's mercy.

Therefore, the information must be well-informed, even all-pervasive."

"Also, what do you think this organization should be called?"

The third update is here, a little late, but I didn't break my promise
