Poverty Alleviation Princess

When it comes to building roads, the first thing that comes to mind is of course cement, which can be said to be a standard material for traversers.

Especially for the modern and ancient types who are engaged in inventions and creations, it would be embarrassing to say that they are inventions if they don’t make cement.The first thing A Yuan thought of was, of course, the cement road.

Although it will destroy the traditional style of the town to a certain extent, but of course usefulness is more important than style.

However, when A Yuan expressed his desire to use cement to build roads, he was told that there was no cement here.

"No cement?"

A Yuan looked at the red-haired young man in surprise, his eyes made him feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, there is no cement." He looked unhappy, and looked away a little, "How could there be a cement factory in a small place like ours."

Or if there were enough factories, they wouldn't be as poor as they are now.

"Nearby?"

"nor."

The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies has been continuously invaded in recent decades, and even the orange groves and olive groves that depend on it have been abandoned, not to mention the factories that need a more stable environment to develop stable income.

Even if factories are opened, they will almost only be built in more prosperous major cities-such as Palermo and Naples, and have nothing to do with such rural towns.

And most of the factories in Palermo and Naples are those that come in faster.And cement, there is no such thing.

"The nearest cement factory is in the Kingdom of Sardinia."

The red-haired youth added another sentence.

A Yuan: "..."

She never imagined that one day she would even import cement...

That's not right, if you count the previous plan to invite people from the Land of Earth to use limestone to make cement, this is actually the second time.It's just that I feel a little complicated when I think that Europe, which has already begun to industrialize, still needs to import cement.

"So you want to buy cement and come back to pave the road?"

"Sure enough, I still have to open a cement factory myself."

The voices of the two sounded almost at the same time, but what they said was not the same.

"……what?"

The red-haired youth froze for a moment.

"Didn't you talk about cement again?" Why did you suddenly want to build a factory?

"Yeah, in order to get cement, so we need to build a cement factory, what's wrong?"

A Yuan replied naturally.

It's just that she didn't expect that this cement factory of hers was not built in the ninja world with an ancient background, but in post-industrialized Europe.

"But cement plants are much more expensive than cement."

He was speechless.

"And a lot more time."

Cement is a finished product, but the cement factory has to be built from scratch. It will be a few months before the cement factory can produce cement.

"But that's your own cement."

It's your own reliable cement that you don't need to look at other people's faces and don't worry about whether there will be any problems during construction.

And considering the fact that there is no cement factory in the two Sicilies, she might make a small profit.Even if the road is not paved, the house must be built, right?Bridges and ports have to be repaired, right?

Even if she doesn't need it this year, and no one cares about it next year, she can still use it for herself first.

While using it, we are looking for experts and scholars to develop better and more targeted new cements.Even if the two Kingdoms of Sicily have not developed or needed in the past few years, they can be exported to other factories or units that need cement.

Besides, if the Kingdom of Two Sicilies wants to develop and revive, it will definitely need cement... So she is not in a hurry.

"Besides, the construction of a cement factory will also add a lot of jobs here... I mean, we need to hire local workers, which is also a good thing for this place."

This is true.

g does not deny this.

Someone setting up a factory here will definitely do them more good than harm.Before, he simply thought that building a cement factory for the sake of cement was like planting fruit trees for the sake of eating fruit.

Obviously there is a more convenient and quicker method but I don't use it. I always feel that there is something wrong with my brain.

He studied the dark-haired girl carefully.The other party's facial features are correct, his eyes are clear and energetic, and his conversation is very clear. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is anything wrong?

"However, it's inconvenient for me to be the only one, so I hope you can lead the way and let the local nobles or big landlords join in and negotiate the opening of the factory together."

A Yuan has already started to plan for a shareholding.

This is also an opportunity for her, an opportunity to fully integrate into the local power group.

The vast majority of people are wary of 'outsiders' who are different from themselves, and it is even more unacceptable for outsiders to take away local wealth.Ordinary people might accept her directly because of Giotto's guarantee, but rich people, especially nobles and big landowners, would not, so she was going to take this opportunity to pull people on board.Break the existing deadlock in one fell swoop.

If they are willing to join, of course it is hello, me, hello, everyone. If they don't want to, she will pass it on. I can't blame her for eating alone in the future.

But no matter what the ending is, in short, she will not lose money.

However, G failed to react immediately, he was stunned for a moment, and a sound slowly overflowed from his throat: "...Huh?"

You were talking about cement just now, why are you meeting with nobles and rich people again now?Is there something missing here?Or was it just that he overheard and didn't notice?

The arrival of this wealthy foreign duchess has actually attracted the attention of many people.

Although Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld has long since fallen, as long as the country is still there, her noble status is genuine.She is a noble girl of noble birth-not to mention she is rich.

It's not the kind of aristocrats who are only born, but have already declined, will perish sooner or later, or can only survive by selling their blood, but rich nobles who can attend high society gatherings and have the opportunity to influence decision-making.

Even a woman is worthy of their attention.

Not to mention that she still has a good relationship with the Prince of London.

Even if she has no land, no property, no enough accumulation and helpers, her own strength should not be underestimated.Of course, because of this or that lack, it will not be placed in the position that needs the most attention.

It's just that after she came, she kept going in and out, and there was no particularly suitable opportunity to hold a large banquet at this time, so both parties subtly maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

"You can't hold back anymore, do you want to find a suitable husband?"

Someone contemptuously guessed.

Another rolled his eyes: "She's from London."

That is the current center of the world, where outstanding talents from all walks of life gather here, and nobles from all over the world are willing to spend a lot of money to study abroad.

If I really want to find a good marriage partner, I must find it there.

"So what about London, she's not an aristocrat in London." The person who spoke first sneered, "Maybe it's because the people over there are too 'smart' that she came here to find someone who can be controlled by her." What about her husband?"

"..."

The later youth curled his lips, unwilling to talk to such a mindless person any more—it would affect his style.

Such news naturally spread to the nobles who had always had friendship with Giotto's self-defense force.

"What do you think?"

The man with the wonderful pineapple hair style asked the stern black-haired youth beside him.

"I don't know." Sivnora replied.

Although he and Giotto are brothers, they look nothing alike on the outside.

Unlike Giotto, who looks warm like a little sun, Sivnora is like cold steel.The upturned corners of his eyes and the always tight, slightly drooping corners of his mouth make him look difficult to touch.

"Guess? Tell me?" The handsome aristocratic young man looked at the bejeweled banquet hall below. He was not attracted by such a luxurious banquet. Although he was smiling, his eyes were cold, as if looking at a dead thing looking at them.

"I've never seen her before." Sivnora said slowly after a while, "But from this point of view, she's not easy to mess with."

In such a place, there are not many people who have the courage to build factories.

Either he had thought about it a long time ago, or he was a naive brat.

And as an orphan, a person who can carry property all the way from Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld to London, inherit the property from London, and come to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies intact, does not look like an ordinary person at all. innocent girl.

If she really didn't know anything, she might not even be able to come to London, let alone bring her property here to inherit the orchard and build a factory.

And what is built is not the popular factories such as weaving factories and rubber factories that are more sought after by people now, but cement factories that are more practical and less noticed by people.

From the orchard to the cement factory, this span is not small.

Moreover, he also took the initiative to invite local nobles and big landlords to join the shares, and tied them on the same boat with benefits, so that even if someone else wants to do something to her in the future, he has to weigh whether he can win these things and stand behind her. local power groups.

... How did my brother know such a person?

It's not that Sivnora is belittling his brother Giotto, it's just that he doesn't think the two seem to be able to get together.

"Humph."

Damon Spedo didn't really care that much.

He also felt that the new duchess should be capable.But how much ability and to what extent it can be achieved remains to be seen.

And in his heart, no one can compare to his beloved Elena.

But if there is such a person in town who can provide more funds for the self-defense group, it would be a good thing to influence that golden-haired idiot to stop being so stupid.

Although Damon Spedo chose to ally with Giotto because he saw his sincerity and kindness-he would never compromise with these corrupt nobles.

But I don’t want my collaborators to be so naive all the time.

A true leader must always learn to weigh interests and make choices.

As for the Duchess...

It depends on whether her cement factory can be built.

"Ah."

A Yuan sneezed for a long time.

She pinched the bridge of her nose - it wasn't a cold, could it be that someone was speaking ill of her behind her back?
