Vol 8 Chapter 28: Jianxincheng

Yes, Xu may not really have the desire for totalitarianism, perhaps just as he said, only hope to change the life of all people on the entire continent through the magic industry, perhaps not really intend to replace the two empires, perhaps……
But this is at best only speculation made by others about his approach. No one is sure that he really intends to do so, and he is even less sure that he will always keep this idea.
If someone suddenly changes his mind and wants to gain more power, who can stop him?
As the emperor of the Candela Empire, it is of course impossible to pin all hopes on Xu’s personal will, and more hope to be in his own hands.
Therefore, it is not important that Xu is willing to make things that everyone is worried about. What is important is whether he has the ability to do so.
As long as he has the ability, then others, especially those who stand at the top of power like His Majesty King Candela, can't feel at ease.
However, this is also a no-brainer.
After ten years of development, the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is even more powerful than a decade ago. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guard has expanded to more than 100,000 people, including 17 sea fleets and 13 A magical airship fleet.
With no one knowing the specific situation, but it is certain that it is absolutely at the top of the military magic machinery, the squadron of the new Flyer Guard can still absolutely crush other countries in the mainland.
So even if the Emperor Candela was so uneasy, he did not have any way to take the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and Xu.
With the current military power of the Candela Empire, it may be possible to continue to maintain an advantage over other countries on the mainland, but there is still nothing to do with the new Flying Chamber of Commerce.
"Your Majesty, I think... this question is actually not considered for the time being." The Grand Duke of Garbute indulged in a moment: "What kind of approach Xu chooses, the difference is not very big for us. And I don't I think his thoughts will suddenly change. What's more, the goal he chooses now is only the Kuranyi Kingdom. If he really has such ideas, there is no need to waste this time. Isn't it?"
His Majesty King Candela sighed and shook his head slowly, and he would smash out the confusing thoughts brought about by this news.
Indeed, Xu also wants to do whatever he wants. He has no ability to change for the time being, so the most important thing now is not to do what Xu does, but to find a way to do his own thing.
"The Grand Duke, the people of the Kingdom of Lampari have arrived in the Troll Valley, and you take time to go and see what I mean."
"Yes."
"In addition, for the investment budget of the Troll Valley next year, I intend to strengthen 30%, what do you think?" asked the Emperor Candela.
"Three percent?" The Grand Duke of Garbout frowned. "Your Majesty. Last year we invested more than 70 million gold coins in the Troll Valley. If we add 30%, wouldn't it be close to 100 million gold coins? This number... I am worried that there will be opinions from the Parliament and the Ministry of Finance.

Emperor Candela waved his hand and snorted: "According to the statistics reported by the former Financial Department, the empire's annual fiscal revenue this year may exceed 600 million gold coins. It is no big deal to invest 100 million gold coins in such an important matter. Don't they understand? Without these things backing up, the empire is now even more brilliant, it is just an empty shelf. Is it possible to be overthrown at any time?"
The Grand Duke of Garbout smiled a little, and he knew very well what the Emperor’s words meant.
From the perspective of the empire. His Majesty the Emperor said that it is not wrong at all, otherwise his prime minister and the Imperial Parliament, the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Ministry of Finance will not agree to promote this matter in these years, and will continue to increase capital and manpower. .
"Well, I will discuss it with the parliament and discuss the specific number. As for the Troll Valley... I have time after four days, I will see you. Your Majesty. Do you have anything to explain?"

Emperor Candela shook his head and shook his head: "There is no special account, you only need to represent me."
"I understand."
After the two men discussed some policies of the Candela empire, the Grand Duke of Garbute retired.
After walking out of the palace gate, the Grand Duke of Garbette took a long, pure black, magical sedan with a look that was luxurious, but did not go to the Imperial Parliament. Instead, he slowly moved towards the west gate of Wimbledon.
Today, the eighth anniversary of the completion of the first steel mill in Wimbledon is also the day when the first steel mill produces 10 million tons of finished steel.
On this commemorative day, the first steel mill specially invited the Grand Duke of Garbott, who had presided over the completion of the first steelmaking plant, and obtained his unanimous consent.
Now because he was arrested by the Emperor's Majesty for a while, I am afraid that the people at the first steel mill have been waiting for a long time.
Thinking of this, the Grand Duke of Garbute told the driver to let him try to speed up.
However, at this time, it was very late in the morning. It belonged to the busy time of Wimbledon. There were traffic on the road. Even if the driver's driving skills were so high, they could not fly. They could only continue to follow the traffic creep slowly.
Looking at the crowded street scene outside, the Grand Duke of Garbt frowned, thinking that the Imperial Assembly had discussed since last year, and the issue of rebuilding Wimbledon should be accelerated.
With the continuous creation of industrial areas around Wimbledon, Wimbledon has now absorbed a large number of outsiders, and with the increase in food production during the decade, coupled with a stable situation, the birth rate has soared. The current population of Wimbledon is even more than doubled a decade ago.
In this case, the already crowded Wimbledon city is even more overwhelmed.
So a few years ago, within the empire, there was already a proposal to rebuild Wimbledon, and some even boldly suggested that it would be better to rebuild a new city.
In comparison, the Grand Duke of Garbute prefers the latter proposal.
Because the transformation of the old city is not only a huge amount of engineering, it is extremely difficult, and the effect is very bad. It is difficult to solve the current problem.
On the contrary, if a new city is rebuilt, it may seem exaggerated and a huge amount of money, but in reality, the investment will not be much more than the transformation of the old city.
What's more, there is a big advantage in rebuilding a new city, that is, it can be re-planned. It can make it meet the needs of many aspects, and it is much more convenient than how to transform the old city.
We must know that with the continuous development of the magic industry, the lifestyle of people on the mainland has already undergone tremendous changes. The old city of Wimbledon, which was founded hundreds of years ago, has long been unable to keep up with the situation. It has been rejected by countless people as completely behind the times.
To give a simple example, when Wimbledon was originally created, it has been built as big as possible. The streets in the city are set aside according to the standard of being able to accommodate at least six carriages side by side, and are extremely spacious throughout the Sainz mainland.
However, in the current city of Wimbledon, the magic cars that are used for private purchases are all over the place. If you run on the street, you can see the new magic car flying everywhere.
Together with the urban public transport system in Wimbledon, the streets in the old town are very narrow, which is not conducive to smooth traffic.
The Grand Duke of Garbute suffered because of this, even if he was classified as the Prime Minister and the Grand Duke. But it is also inevitable that you will often encounter traffic jams.
It is because of this that many aristocrats and wealthy civilians in Wimbledon have moved to live outside the city. It is to avoid the congestion and inconvenience in the city.
If you build a new city, you can avoid this situation at the beginning of planning, and naturally solve many problems that now plague countless people.
And the construction of a new city to adapt to the new requirements, as early as more than 20 years ago, the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce has been experimented in Bangta City, then the new Feishang will simply build a new new flight in the Principality of Constantine city. It has almost become a model for the modern city of the mainland.
There is such a precedent that it is not particularly difficult to build a brand new city in Wimbledon.
At least the New Flyers Chamber of Commerce and the Amrit Chamber of Commerce have made it clear that they can provide technical and personnel support to the Candela Empire. Even the Amrit Chamber of Commerce has indicated to the Imperial Parliament that it is willing to contract the construction of the new city of Wimbledon. You only need to provide funds for the Candela Empire. Nothing else is left to control.
The Imperial Parliament certainly cannot agree, so now the empire is now in contact with the Amrit Chamber of Commerce and the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce, while planning the construction of the new city.
In this matter, the Grand Duke of Garbt, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, clearly indicated to the Imperial Parliament that he would support the construction of a new city and asked the parliament to give a solution as soon as possible.
On the part of the parliament and the Ministry of Finance, it is difficult to give a definitive plan in a short period of time due to financial and technical problems. It is temporarily deadlocked.
Now the Grand Duke of Garbute looks at the surrounding congestion, and naturally hopes that the Amrit Chamber of Commerce and the New Flyer will be able to make concessions as soon as possible, so that the construction of Wimbledon New Town will start early, and this problem can be solved earlier.
Of course, there is another solution, that is, to move out the various imperial institutions originally established in Wimbledon, and even the palace has moved out, so they do not need to go to various institutions and palaces. Forced to be congested in Wimbledon.
It is a pity that it is easy to move away from various institutions and it is almost insane to move away from the palace.
The Candela Imperial Palace was built at the beginning of the Candela Empire, and it has a history of nearly a thousand years.
Such a palace with great history and symbolism, the Emperor’s Majesty will never move it, and it is even more impossible to move directly.
Thinking of this, the Grand Duke of Garbute looked at the window outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
Although this ancient empire is powerful because of its age, it is also decayed by its age, and it always binds people in various places. (To be continued...)
