Grasp the farming script in the famous book

Roland looked at the road construction site billowing in smoke and dust, and calculated the development speed of Tianshui Town and her entire territory in his mind.

She adopted Heathcliff's suggestion and mobilized people who came to "pilgrimage" to Sweetwater Town to help build the road.

The speed at which the road can be built depends directly on the organizational skills of her team and how many pilgrims Heathcliff can "receive" each day.

But this is not a problem for friends from the 22nd century.

Among the people who have entered the plane, many have organized large-scale activities, and some have been volunteers.Even if you haven't organized it, at least you have participated in it, and it's easy to understand.The team has a good idea of ​​how to organize and schedule the pilgrimage.

Heathcliff was able to meet at least a thousand pilgrims every day.In Roland's view, as long as the surrounding facilities can gradually catch up, this number can soon increase to 3000 people.

Although each pilgrim only provides two to three days of labor, due to the continuous arrival of pilgrims from all over France, Tianshui Town has obtained a permanent local team of about 3000 to [-] people. Strong workforce.

In addition to the large number of people, people are also enthusiastic, shouting slogans and the name of the saint Heathcliff, struggling to move bricks.Even the mayor of Tianshui Town felt that they were doing the work of two people alone.

The pilgrims who participated in the road construction, as long as they work here for three days, can get enough travel expenses for them to return home-this is very friendly to the pilgrims from poor families.

But for the wealthy pilgrims, those who rode in carriages, or rode tall horses, and led a large army of servants, they came to Sweetwater, but they all cried and asked Heathcliff They were allowed to help build roads, and they were willing to offer money in exchange for the opportunity to touch a hoe and a wheelbarrow with their own hands.

This is because, in front of them, Heathcliff exaggerated the effect of "building roads"-moving bricks can cleanse the body and mind and purify the soul.As long as you devote yourself to the activity of "building roads", you can experience the feeling of emptying your body and enjoy a good night's sleep-in your dreams, you may be able to perceive God.

When the rich people heard what Heathcliff said, they were a little skeptical.Most of them do not work hard, do daily calculations, and think a lot, and have nothing to do with physical labor.Now I suddenly tried to move the bricks, and naturally I was tired and paralyzed on the spot, and I slept peacefully all night, forgetting all my troubles.

As a result, the efficacy of "building roads" quickly spread among the rich.

They don't ask for travel expenses to go home, but only for a moment of peace in their hearts.Therefore, no matter how Heathcliff declined Joe, they begged hard so that they could stay in Sweetwater for an extra night or two, and work hard to move bricks for this holy town.

"Saints, we are all one soul before God, like any other."

They begged Heathcliff hard, and they were willing to donate money to subsidize poor pilgrims to return home in exchange for the qualification to participate in road construction.

With these donations, the "pilgrimage center" of Tianshui Town can basically achieve a balance of payments, with enough funds to build roads and various facilities, and purchase food and supplies.

Roland roughly calculated the speed. In three months, the road from Tianshui Town to the largest nearby city can be built in just three months.

In three more months, the first phase of the water "pilgrimage route" project will be completed.The channel of the river near Sweetwater Town will be widened to bring in water from the upper reaches. This section of the channel will be navigable and lead all the way to the important textile town and commercial center in the north.

Give her another year, and within the territory of Earl de Raphael, a network of roads extending in all directions will be built between the towns.Production centers and commercial centers will be redistributed naturally within the territory.

Every region will be built into a spice center, a textile center, and a garment center... and Tianshui Town, as her base camp, will also serve as an export place for new technologies, new concepts, and new lifestyles, and become the center of influence in this region.

Not only does it affect the entire territory, but the entire France... perhaps, it can affect the entire plane.

But Roland needed to leave temporarily.

She remembered what Richelieu said when he bid her farewell that day.

"Ma'am, it's not up to you."

Roland let out a long breath, feeling extremely nostalgic in his heart, and didn't want to leave at all.

It's not that she doesn't trust those partners who have fought side by side with her for a long time, but——

What a sense of accomplishment if you can watch your territory build up bit by bit into the shape you pictured in your mind.

But since she had no choice, she simply set off graciously, and regarded this departure as an opportunity to open up a new field.

Roland immediately called all the "backbone" in Sweetwater Town and the Earl's Manor, and announced that she was about to go to Amiens.

Most of the people were shocked, and it took a while to slowly recover.

"My dear friends, the construction industry is in full swing on this land, and I intend to hand it over to you."

Roland said softly, with reluctance in his tone.

"Among you, some will come first, some will come later...but because everyone has the same philosophy, they all stay here."

"I trust you with all my heart and believe that you will be able to continue your current career while I am gone."

She has already thought through all the arrangements after she leaves: after she leaves, no one in the territory can directly make decisions, but fortunately there are Heathcliff and Andre, both of whom bear the title of "saint" , the other bears the identity of "King's Secret Agent".

With the two of them here, they can preside over the overall situation of Tianshui Town.

As for Count de Raphael and her, it doesn't really matter whether they are in the local area or not.

Unexpectedly, the people were only silent for a short while, and immediately opened their mouths, discussing in full swing.

Roland could hardly hear what everyone was saying, but in her opinion, everyone was excited and full of energy.

Roland: ...?Are you expecting me to leave so much?

This is something she never expected.

Everyone discussed enthusiastically for a while, and finally elected one or two representatives to speak out their aspirations.

"Mileddy, we also feel that with your talent, you shouldn't be limited to this small territory."

"You should go out, go farther, and expand our influence to the whole of France."

"Don't worry, even if you are not here, we will guarantee to build a prosperous territory for you in the past two years."

"Sweet Water Town will be your strongest backing. If someone in the court bullies you, you can come back. Then we will have enough strength to give them a good look—"

Even Onegin, who always regarded himself as a "superfluous person" when he first entered the plane, expressed his position:

"Mileddy, when we've been online for enough time and we've all been upgraded to nobles, we'll all run to your place to support you."

Yi Na and Dai, the two die-hard fans who first entered the plane, told Roland: "Lan Lan, we want to go with you."

"You are going to the court of the King of France. We happen to have a lot of products on hand that can be sold to the court."

Roland immediately understood: "Yes!"

In this way, it is of great significance for her to go to the French royal court, and she can become the "advance team" outside the territory.Open up sales channels and broaden channels - these tasks are all on their shoulders.

"And our identities are very suitable." Yi Na added excitedly.

Yi Na and Dai are nominally Roland's two distant cousins.Roland went to meet the queen, and the two of them could follow as female servants.

Soon everyone made a collective decision: Roland led a "squad" to set off to the French royal court to meet the queen.

The "Squad" consists of Luna, Ina, Day and Peter Pan.Yi Na and Dai stayed by Roland's side, while Peter Pan was responsible for running around and making contact.

In addition, Milady's two maids, Katie and Cindy, will also set off with Roland.

Between the squad and Tianshui Town, a daily communication frequency will be maintained to inform each other of the situation between them.

As the head of the "squad", Roland can decide on the actions of the squad and is responsible for the actions of the squad.

As a "base", Tianshui Town usually implements collective decision-making, but in an emergency, several backbones will form a "committee" to command everyone.

In this way, Roland basically has no worries, he can pack his bags and get ready to go.

She was about to go to the "court" of the King of France, but not to Paris, but to Amiens.

When she was packing her luggage, Ina couldn't help asking her: "Milady, why do you have to go to Amiens?"

On the day Roland received the letter, he had already asked Peter Pan to inquire.This extremely shrewd little businessman had already established news channels from Tianshui Town to major cities in the north. He sent Hook for a trip and got the exact news soon.

The specific reason is: Britain and France will marry.His sister, Princess Maria, will marry King Charles I of England.

The wedding has already been held in Notre Dame de Paris, but it is not Charles I who swears the oath in front of the altar with Princess Maria, but a proxy.

After the ceremony, the French royal court sent Princess Maria to the border between Britain and France according to the custom, and the British side welcomed the princess to get married.The two parties responsible for sending off and receiving the relatives were the Queen of Louis XIII, Anna of Austria, on the French side; and the Duke of Buckingham, George Villiers, the favorite of the late King James I, on the British side.

The French royal court decided to summon a noble lady with a title in Amiens. The starting point may be to support Princess Maria who is about to leave her homeland, and use a huge royal court to support the princess.

There are also rumors that this is the Queen's intention to select a few more confidantes among the noble ladies to serve as attendants.

Previously, the queen's most trusted female attendant was the Duchess of Luna.But since the last time the queen fell and had a miscarriage in the Louvre, Louis XIII became furious and dismissed the Duchess of Luna from her post.

This time the queen summoned her in Amiens, she must have really considered this.

After Roland finished telling the story, both Yi Na and Dai showed a little fascination.

"Duke of Buckingham!"

"Others say this man is the most handsome man in Europe."

"Lan Lan, thanks to you this time, I should be able to meet the rumored handsome man."

Roland did not have a good impression of the Duke of Buckingham.

He was the favorite of the last King James I of England. This kind of favor, as Ina and Day knew, was based on beauty and all the qualities that could add to beauty——It is said that the Duke of Buckingham He once specialized in music and dance, equestrianism and swordsmanship in France.

All in all, the Duke of Buckingham may not have much political talent, but he has climbed steadily in the political arena and quickly became the most trusted vassal around James I.There are rumors that there is an ambiguous relationship between James I and the Duke of Buckingham②.

But Roland didn't care too much about it.What she cares about is that the Queen, the Duke of Buckingham... the main plot that seems to be the plane of the Three Musketeers is finally getting closer and closer to her.

The author has something to say: ① It is very common for European royal families to use agents in transnational marriages.Princess Maria here refers to the younger sister of Louis XIII, Princess Henrietta Maria, who married Charles I of England (the one who later went to the guillotine).According to historical records, Princess Maria got married in Notre Dame de Paris, and the "agent" who attended the wedding with her was a French courtier.When the princess crossed the Channel and arrived in Canterbury, England, she officially married Charles I.

②The Duke of Buckingham.Later scholars studied the letters between the Duke of Buckingham and James I, and confirmed that there was indeed an ambiguous relationship between the two.Of course, the portrait he left shows that he is indeed handsome, quite handsome.
