Chapter 10: Underground train

　　 "Offie, go and tell the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Personnel!" Arthur said to Offie on the side.
　　 Although Ishihara Rimi is gone, Offi still stays to wait on Arthur.
　　 Ofi stood aside in a daze, and occasionally stretched out her small tongue to lick her lips, as if she was reminiscing about the taste just now. Arthur called out and she didn't react, but after another call, she reacted!
　　 "Ah! Yes!" Offie promised hurriedly, then turned around and ran out.
　　 Looking at the food waitress, Arthur could only helplessly smile.
　　 After a while, two people walked into the study one after another.
　　The one in front with a big back, wearing a white suit, a water chestnut face, a sullen beard, and melancholy eyes, the whole middle-aged handsome guy is the Minister of Personnel Connie.
　　 is mainly responsible for the selection and assessment of officials within the kingdom, as well as the review and transfer of officials, etc., with a gentle personality.
　　 The brawny man behind 　　 dressed in overalls, dark-skinned, grinning silly, and showing white teeth, is the Minister of Industry Giles.
It is mainly responsible for the construction of various projects in the kingdom. It is different from the seemingly silly appearance. It has a smart brain. Therefore, the Kingdom’s Academy of Sciences is also in charge of him. It was pulled up by Arthur himself and is also one of Arthur’s most important ministers. .
　　 Arthur was the county magistrate of Rabbit Country in his previous life. What is the nickname of Rabbit Country?
　　 Infrastructure madness!
　　 Giles also refused to accept concessions, and likes to build various infrastructure and scientific research development.
　　 Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Saint Martin is so big.
　　 There is no room for him to play at all.
　　 "See His Majesty the King!"
　　 The two kneeled on one knee.
　　 "Free gift!"
　　 "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
　　 "Well, you two sit down!"
　　 After taking the two to sit down, Arthur began to talk business.
　　 "Connie, how is the new official exam?" Arthur asked.
　　 "It's over, and a new batch of officials have passed the exam!" Connie paused and said, "However, our kingdom is full of posts, and we have a backlog of officials!"
　　 The official examination is the civil service examination of the Kingdom of Saint Martin. It is held once a year. Although the jobs in the kingdom are now full, Arthur still did not suspend the examination in preparation for future expansion of the kingdom.
　　 "Well, that's good, just this morning, our kingdom has taken Blood Harbor Town!" Arthur nodded and said.
　　 "Really? That's great!" Connie didn't say a word, and Giles next to him spoke first. With a new site, he can carry out crazy infrastructure again.
　　 Arthur nodded and continued: "Bloodport Town needs a group of officials to manage. Connie, you choose a group of experienced officials in the kingdom, and then select a group of new officials to manage Bloodport Town together!"
　　 "Okay, Your Majesty!" Connie said in a voice of vicissitudes of life without any haste.
　　 "Okay, go down and get ready first, and you will send someone over in a few days!" Arthur said with a shake of his head.
　　 Connie nodded, made an elegant noble salute, and then went down.
　　 "Giles, come here!" Arthur beckoned and said.
　　 "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Giles came over with a little doubt.
　　 "Look!" Arthur picked up the chart and the draft he had calculated last night.
　　 "This is... the distance from St. Martin to Bloodport Town and the chart?" Giles was a little puzzled.
　　 "Yes!" Arthur nodded, and then asked, "Giles, I remember your subordinate academy of sciences should have developed a steam train!"
　　 "Yes, your Majesty, but it doesn't seem to be of much use. Our country is not large. At most one roundabout train can satisfy everything!" Giles explained.
　　 Arthur smiled slightly, pointed to Blood Harbor Town and St. Martin, and said, "You said, what if you build a train between here?"
　　 "Your Majesty, I heard that some people are repairing sea trains on the Great Waterway, but we don't have that technology! If needed, we need a period of time to develop!" Giles was a little embarrassed.
　　 "I know, I didn't say that Xiu is at sea!" Arthur nodded and said.
　　 "Where is the repair?" Giles was puzzled.
　　 Arthur pointed to the ground.
"Underground?" Giles said with a face of embarrassment, "Your Majesty, the underground can't be repaired. If you want to repair the track underground, you must be below the seabed, then you can build Bloodport Town, but, then In deep places, most people can't dig at all!"
"Don't worry, I was prepared!" Arthur walked to the side of the study and pointed to the excavator. "This is a special excavator. It can easily dig under the seabed, but there is one thing, that is It can’t overheat, it will get out of control if it overheats, so when you use it to repair holes, you need to pay attention."
　　 "Good stuff!" Giles did not ask where this thing came from, but his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands in applause.
　　 If this thing is as good as what Arthur said, it would be a magical tool for digging holes!
　　 He immediately thought of the multiple uses of this thing, which can be dug under the seabed, so digging a cave tunnel is not a problem, right? So mining roads is also easy, right?
　　 Besides, if it is possible to dig Blood Harbor Town, then why can’t the whole Xihai dig?
　　 Giles is a little excited to think of here!
"Also, UU reading www.uukanshu.com!" As he said, Arthur took out a wooden box with oxygen grass in it. "The thing inside is called oxygen grass, which can be purified underground. The air produces a lot of air and reproduces very fast, but there is one thing, it cannot see the sun!"
　　 Giles carefully took the oxygen grass, this is also a good thing!
　　 Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about mining. When you dig deeper, you need air. The underground air circulation is not smooth, and it is easy for people to suffocate due to lack of oxygen.
　　 So most of the time mining will not dig too deep. With this thing, you can dig a little deeper, so that you can dig a lot of resources.
　　 "When you dig a tunnel, you can plant it in the tunnel. If you are not confident to take care of it, you can ask the Minister of Agriculture for help!" Arthur said.
　　 "Yes, Your Majesty!" Giles nodded and said, "Your Majesty, there is another problem that needs to be solved."
　　 "What's the problem?" Arthur frowned.
　　 "Coal mine!" Giles said.
　　 "Coal mine!?"
　　 Suddenly, Arthur understood that the territory of St. Martin is not very large. There is only a small iron mine in the territory, and there is no coal mine. The coal nowadays is purchased from the Kingdom of Firth every year.
　　 It’s okay now, but once the steam train is used, the demand for coal will rise rapidly. Moreover, steam battleships also need coal, which will not be supported by the kingdom’s current coal inventory for long.
　　 Therefore, acquiring coal is the first priority, and if it doesn’t help, buy more coal.
　　 However, coal mines are an important material for the kingdom’s future development. How can it be done by buying?
　　 Right now, Arthur made a decision in his heart.
