Chapter 193 Dress Up
This decision immediately caused many noble officials in the Yalan Hall to start chatting in surprise again.

No matter who is in Xia Lin's position, they will definitely choose to cut a piece of territory from the Earl of Arnold as their fiefdom. It is really hard for them to understand Xia Lin's idea of ​​taking the slums as their own territory.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Xia Lin achieved her goal, so she kept her mouth low-key.If his goal is to develop the territory, it is natural to choose places with natural resources such as forests, minerals and fields.

However, Xia Lin's goal is to establish an industrial system, so those places are far inferior to the surrounding areas of the imperial capital, which has the most convenient transportation and the most advantageous human resources.

The following rewards were not so eye-catching, and a series of members of the noble family who contributed to the process of Princess Dorothea's winning the throne all got what they wanted.

For example, the families of Eugene, Alway, Isaac, and Viscount Brook have obtained a lot of land, minerals, and manors, and the heirs of the families are also given priority as candidates for the vacancies in the four major bureaus.

The only thing that Xia Lin was concerned about was that Hisoka Greg, who was one of the brigade captains of the Second Guards Division, was transferred by Queen Dorothea to be the brigade captain of the City Guards, while the original Ron Colin was transferred by Queen Dorothea. Appointed Captain of the Court Guard, filling the vacancy of Viscount Hart.

Although there is no small harm in allowing members of one family to control the defense of the palace and the defense of the imperial capital at the same time, Queen Dorothea, who has no other positions to place these meritorious officials, can only temporarily appoint them in this way.

However, if there is a new army, such a military structure should not cause any major problems.

"Viscount Xia Lin, do you have any thoughts on the reconstruction of the Second Guards Division?"

When Xia Lin was thinking about some matters, Empress Dorothea suddenly mentioned his name, Xia Lin thought about it and got up and replied:

"Your Majesty, I do have some immature views on the reconstruction of the Second Guards Division."

"Then please speak freely to Viscount Xia Lin!"

Queen Dorothea mentioned that Xia Lin was naturally aiming at the new troops he had trained and proved to be not weak in actual combat. At present, the treasury has limited savings, and reliable knights are not so easy to recruit. She naturally aimed at A cheap newcomer.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Xia Lin first thanked Queen Dorothea, and then said:
"Your Majesty, ministers, before the Second Guards Division wanted to invade Longmian Palace from the southeast gate, I, as the deputy head of the new army, received the news and immediately rushed to the southeast gate.

Leading a total of [-] soldiers of the new army, relying on the advantage of the palace wall, they held on for about half an hour. Later, General Bonofau, who was a golden knight, personally used the sword of Ruoguang, which led to the breakthrough of the first line of defense.

However, in the following battles, the new army with a total of 2000 people including the Second Infantry Battalion also displayed a very good combat effectiveness. This is why Elsie Harrison, who fought side by side with us, and Harper, who came to support us, Marshal De can prove it for us.

Now that the new army has proven their strength in this battle, I think the Second Guards Division can also adopt new weapons and form a new army.

This will not only reduce the cost, but also allow many aristocratic children who have no talent on the road of mages and knights to also participate in the newly-built second guard division, preventing similar rebellions from happening before! "

"Indeed, if you are building a new type of army, you only need to deploy hundreds of knights and mages in the second guard division to ensure the combat effectiveness of such an army. Your Majesty, I think you can consider adopting Viscount Xia Lin." proposal."

Marshal Hubbard also saw the scene of the battle between the new army and the rebel Second Guards Division after the war. Faced with such a result, he also had to change his view on the new weapons.

"Sword of Ruoguang? That is a weapon that can easily destroy castles in the hands of the Golden Knights. The new army has persisted for so long with that kind of power?"

"I heard that the allocation for the alliance to train two thousand new troops from Viscount Hart and Xia Lin is only three thousand gold. If the new army can really fight against the knights on the battlefield, it is better to replace all the troops of the empire with Forget about the new army! That way the cost will be lower!"

"However, the new army is protected by the palace wall. Otherwise, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for the two thousand new army to guard the palace wall under the elite men of the eight thousand second guard division."

The aristocratic officials in the court once again began to talk about it. Seeing that everyone recognized the new army, Queen Dorothea felt that she could take the opportunity to go a step further and use the new army with more abundant and less expensive troops. Legion is replaced by:
"Then General Hart will be responsible for rebuilding the Second Guards Division with the template of the new army! After the situation stabilizes, General Hart will also be responsible for the retraining of the other eight divisions in the central region. However, Viscount Xia Lin, 2 Can the production of small rifles and artillery meet the demand?

I remember you told me before that new weapons require a large amount of gunpowder, which in turn requires a large supply of saltpeter and brimstone. "

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any problem in meeting the requirements of the Second Guards Division's outfit replacement in one to two months, but the other eight divisions must wait until the gun factory expands and establish a special Only a gunpowder factory can do it.”

"Just ask what you need, and I will do my best to meet your needs."

Empress Dorothea deeply felt the lack of military strength at hand, and nodded in agreement.

"More dwarf artisans, raw materials, and some time."

"That's no problem. In the name of the queen, I will order the dwarves in the Furnace Valley to accept your orders. As for raw materials, the royal family and the Brook family have a lot of minerals in the Blue Lake Mountains. Viscount Pound, can you increase the amount of saltpeter and Sulfur production?"

Dorothea has now become the empress. According to the contract between the royal family and the dwarves living in the Furnace Valley, she naturally has nothing to say politely. Then she looked at an enlightened nobleman with a big belly and asked.

"Your Majesty, the saltpeter mines are easy to talk about. Most of the sulfur mines in the empire are located in the Lochmar Mountains near the eastern border. If you want to mine them, you need a huge initial investment. And you have to be careful of those guys in the eastern border..."

Viscount Pound Brook said with some embarrassment.The Sassen Empire covers a large area and is rich in minerals, but not all minerals can be found everywhere.

"Let's leave the matter of the sulfur mine to our own hands!"

Xia Lin thought about it. Sulfur is mostly found near volcanic craters or extinct volcanoes. This kind of mineral may exist on the small islands in the French Sea. When he went back, he asked someone to search for Captain Nick’s logbook. Maybe something will be gained.

At that time, we will cooperate with the Colin family to establish a shipping company, which can also promote the development of the shipping business of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, so we don't ask too much.
