Chapter 87 The Curtain of the Industrial Age

Entering the first floor, the first person Medea saw was Mr. Aaron Grant sitting on the sofa.

He has black hair, golden eyes, a slender figure, and is wearing a black gentleman's suit custom-made by a master. He is holding a jewel-encrusted gentleman's cane in his hand and a small hat on his head. He has an extraordinary demeanor.

"Hello, Mr. Aaron Grant."

"Praise the God of Knowledge and Wisdom." After the introduction, Grant began his performance.

He spent about ten minutes praising the god of knowledge and wisdom in every aspect.

If we didn't know in advance that he was an outstanding capitalist, our first impression would probably be that he was a devout believer in the god of knowledge and wisdom.

“You are such a devout believer.”

"In fact, I think so too. This year I plan to go to Lenburg to personally witness the majesty of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."

"What do you want to know?"

"Oh, praise the great God of knowledge and wisdom." Grant made a church gesture with his hands.

It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort in every aspect in order to meet Medea.

“The thing is, I have provided employment opportunities for many citizens of Tingen. Although I dare not boast about it, many people have a livelihood because of me.

Over the past 27 years, I have worked diligently for the citizens of Tingen, working tirelessly to improve their lives and strive to make this city catch up with Backlund."

"For this reason, I have been traveling a lot and have little time to spend with my family. The last time I saw my son was at the graduation ceremony of Backlund Shaw Academy of Art seven years ago."

"Now, due to the Corn Acts and a series of commodity tax bills issued by the kingdom, many of the goods produced by my factory are subject to expensive taxes."

"For this reason, I had to lay off some employees to prevent the prices of some commodities in Tingen from falling."

Councillor Melende interrupted and added: "Ms. Medea, you may not know that once commodity prices drop sharply, many factories will stop production and lay off employees."

A vicious cycle.

"In order to prevent these workers from losing their jobs, I have taken many measures and tried various methods. But unfortunately, the results were very poor."

At this point, tears welled up in Grant's eyes.

He felt sad for the workers and farmers, and for the citizens of Tingen who lost their jobs because of the law announced by the royal family...

Maybe he will be sad...

"So, you want to ask for knowledge... to solve this problem."

"Yes." Grant looked at Medea with pitiful eyes.

Medea nodded slightly.

After a moment, the answer was given in his expectant eyes.

“Knowledge should be shared and wisdom needs to be circulated.”

"Thank you for your generosity."

"As for production, I happen to know how to improve efficiency." After saying this, Mitia turned and looked at Melende.

Without further ado, Melende took out an unopened gold-stamped notebook and handed it to Medea.

Holding the feather pen between his fingers, Medea wrote down the answer to the question bit by bit.

How to improve the efficiency of the factory?
This topic provides a premise - in Tingen City of the Kingdom of Loen, there are no extraordinary powers involved, and all the people are ordinary people. The factory's current policy is a new version of a series of bills...

As for the answer, Medea can only say it is very simple.

Relying on the power of the steam engine, it is entirely possible to realize all aspects of machine production, replace manual labor with machinery, expand production projects, and achieve goals by increasing productivity...

With advanced industrial machines, provided that leaders teach how to operate them, productivity will be greatly improved.

It just so happens that in today's era, Steam Princess is a righteous god. This kind of development with steam engines as the power source and rapid innovation in all aspects will not cause backlash in today's era.

Or it could be said that it is in line with the development of the times.

Roselle brought mechanical kinetic energy and an incomplete steam industrial revolution to the world. The machines drawn by Medea can be said to be making up for the unfinished content.

Even if Medea had not described the answer, in the future, this kind of mechanized production would still be discovered, and the emerging bourgeoisie represented by the steam engine would completely replace the workers in the manual industry.

Of course, the discoverer at that time might not share it, but bury it in the snow.

After all, in this world, there are seven gods and extraordinary powers.

"This is a steam engine. The movement of steam inside the machine drives the power device to produce."

Medea explained to Grant as he drew.

"This part is the robot arm, which is driven up and down by the power unit, and then it does what you call the factory function... This is the part where the fuel is loaded."

"This technology comes from the steam power created by Russell. I have adjusted some of its contents to meet your needs."

"This technology will bring about changes." Grant felt a great sense of pride.

To have come this far, he has no lack of adventurous spirit, and he also understands the impact that a better system will have on today's manual industries, factories, etc.

Roselle brought colonization to the world, and the establishment of a colonial system between the northern and southern continents brought countless wealth and benefits to his kingdom. During this period, the development of science and technology was abnormal and abrupt.

War and military, Russell put a lot of points in this area, he is like a strategy player, or a player of Paradox games.

For him, giving birth is no need to worry at all.

Would you worry about an NPC in the game?
The answer is no.

There is an endless supply of black slaves from the southern continent, an agricultural revolution brought about by extraordinary power, and the artisan steam princesses who provide him with the necessary factory construction...Does Roselle need to design an excellent system specifically for production?

Does he need to thoroughly illuminate technology in all aspects? Or does he need to completely reproduce the steam age and carry out a Renaissance in education, institutions, culture, science, astronomy, geography, etc.?

The answer has long been recorded in history.

The birth of the kingdom, calling himself Caesar, establishing his own kingdom, and calling himself "Emperor" Roselle had never thought of this possibility.

The world is just a game. Emperor Roselle, the chosen one, the protagonist, and the son of destiny, does not need to change his ideas about the game because of these unruly people.

In this way, Medea unearthed the terrifying remaining interests.

"It's important to note that this technological change will bring huge vitality to your factory, but don't abuse it."

"Thank you for your kindness."

"By the way, regarding the Society of Knowledge, I am willing to provide funding to help Miss Medea select members of the society in Tingen City."

After saying that, Grant suddenly had a bad idea in his mind.

This kind of thing sounds like taking money to insult the church, which is very disrespectful to the church.

Grant's mood suddenly fluctuated. When he wanted to explain something, Medea replied: "... whatever you want."

Hearing this answer, Grant's face was filled with genuine joy.

In the following time, Grant and Mitia had a detailed discussion on some of the technical issues.

He was not ashamed to ask questions and had no concerns about his status. He asked about every detail again and again to ensure that it was absolutely correct.

…………After briefly concluding the conversation, Medea bowed, stood up and left the manor.

After she left, Grant and Melende in the living room on the first floor lost their approachable and elegant demeanor. Instead, they looked at each other sharply, like hungry wolves.

When meeting in private, and when the two of them are alone, the so-called etiquette is not worth mentioning in the face of interests.

"Grant, I need this number."

"Haha, are you kidding me?"

"Don't forget, if it weren't for me, your smuggling would have been discovered by the Kingdom Police long ago!"

"If it weren't for me, where would you get the money to make connections?"

"You are threatening me!"

"You said it as if you're not a threat."

"We are all ants on the same rope. Don't think I have to rely on you!"

"The Nobility Act has been enacted, and I can get the title."

"Hey, is your company still able to turn around?"

"You have to understand that the benefits must be distributed fairly enough..."

"■■ (Lune swear words)"

Without Medea here, the two people who tore off their disguises directly exposed their true nature.

One is a councillor who has sex with witches and lives like a medieval noble. The other is a professional capitalist who is used to not treating workers as human beings.

The two are the same, both have black hearts, thicker skins than city walls, and their personal bottom line is negative.

【Knowledge】

"Yes, the flow of knowledge." Medea stroked his chin and chatted with the hidden sage as they walked.

"The circulation of knowledge lies in the Institute of Knowledge. Through the selection of envoys within the Institute of Knowledge, you grant knowledge and extraordinary power to these people, allowing them to be smart first and lead the smarter ones."

【Can】

"There are still too few people in the Knowledge Society." Medea shook her head. "Although I am now the chief mentor of the Knowledge Society, it is still not enough."

But that was not her concern.

What Medea really needs to do now is the city of disaster that she carries with her.

'The role of the City of Disaster requires me to spread the [disaster].

Well, let's go to Tingen first.'

Having made up his mind, Medea turned and headed towards his target.
