industrial lord

Chapter 156
Frederick, like ordinary people, always tries to be greedy when working for the boss. When he becomes his own boss, whoever is greedy for his own money would like to drag him to fight with the supervisor.

After the ruthless words, the meeting continued, and then the Minister of Taxation, Neuer, reported on the preparations for the summer tax.

Frederick made an important instruction: "The current tax law has been extended to the entire territory since the summer tax. To do a good job in publicity, we can organize some singing singers to compile the main content of the tax law into songs and publicize it in the village."

Neuer recorded it immediately.

This year's summer tax starts, the new territory implements the same tax policy as the Wessen Territory. For the tenant farmers who originally had to pay at least rent, it is simply a god of light to collect 3% of the rent after the harvest is exempted.

However, the original level of tax collectors in those places varies from good to bad. In their eyes, tax cuts are a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Frederick thought for a while, and said to Franz Jr., who started to succeed his father this month as Minister of Military Affairs: "The army sent troops to collect taxes from the tax officials in the name of protecting the tax and food. I will give you detailed orders later."

Little Franz immediately understood what the commander meant. Sending these soldiers out was not as simple as protecting taxes and food, and they might see blood.

After talking about taxes, Frederick named Edward and first talked about the situation of the Ministry of Construction.

Wesson State now has three key projects, namely the Carolina Canal, Germain Cathedral and Edelweiss Library.

Edward reported to the leaders that the Carolina Canal has entered the earthwork excavation stage this year, personnel have arrived one after another, and it is expected to be open to navigation next year.

The appearance design of Germain Cathedral and Edelweiss Great Library has been completed, the land acquisition has been completed, the demolition work has been completed, and the foundation pit can be dug.

Frederick narrowed his eyes, and suddenly burst out with an unprecedented aura, and said to Edward very solemnly: "All work on the cathedral and the great library is suspended."

"Ah?!" The people in the entire conference room exclaimed together.

Everyone knew that these two projects were the focus of Frederick's attention, and he never thought that they would stop.

Frederick said to Edward a little excitedly: "Next month, in mid-June, call those construction workers who are smart and want to make a lot of money to the city of Wessenburg, and I will personally teach them to build houses with new materials!"

"When they have all learned it, they will build the cathedral and the great library!!"

"From mid-June, my focus is on here until I go to the Principality of Mainz to participate in hunting in late autumn."

The old people in the meeting room were speechless with a little expectation. The master can come up with new tricks every time, and I don't know what he can do this time.

However, fresh vegetables can be eaten in snowy days, and boiled water can be used to grind noodles. If the master says that flour can be used to build a house, everyone will not be surprised.

Frederick gestured to Vanessa behind him, and soon a stack of booklets was placed on the table.

He picked out one and asked the secretary to give it to Edward, and all the others to Ogilvy.

When Ogilvy saw that the principal was working again, he impatiently picked up the first book and opened it to read, but his face changed instantly when he opened it, and he raised his head and asked Frederick in horror: "Principal, do you want such a big book?" What is the rich woman happy stick doing?!"

There were several spraying and coughing sounds in the meeting room immediately.

Frederick's face turned dark all of a sudden, and he meowed. It turned out that someone had already thought of the idea of ​​using the earthquake technique to make a concrete vibrator, but it was used in a different place.

"Don't worry about it." He said with a sullen face, "Just do it."

Then he immediately changed the subject, and said to Edward: "You study the railway, I hope you will immediately start the alignment and land acquisition work with the Executive Yuan, and use prisoners of war to make the roadbed first."

This is the advantage of being a big landlord. The land is all your own, and you can use it as you like. If you occupy the farmland, you can give the tenant farmers another piece of land for compensation.

The site selection of the railway has been worked out alive. The terrain of the entire Wessen state is available in the map room of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Frederick was riding dawn and Maria for a ride in the sky to inspect the terrain by the way, and then let the soldiers walk Once, the line is basically determined.

It's just that there are many mountains here in Wessen State. It is difficult and costly to dig tunnels with the current technology. Although the number of turns is minimized, there are still many bends.

Edward is no stranger to railways. In addition to mines, quarries also use railcars to transport a large amount of stone, so he couldn't help asking: "My lord, do you want to build a railway like a mine?"

Frederick nodded and said: "That's right, you also know that the mine's railway transports more and faster things than ordinary horse-drawn carriages, so I decided to use railways to connect villages and cities, cities and cities in the territory first, so that in the territory When the river is frozen in winter, it can also transport a large number of people and materials, and there is no need to be restricted by the port.”

"Let me tell you another Wessen State secret. Although the carriages on these railways are now pulled by horses, they will be pulled by more powerful machines in a few years."

"At that time, hey, about 100 tons of cargo can be pulled from here to Nuremberg City in less than two hours."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old people in the conference room immediately asked non-stop questions. The core question was only one, why did it take several years.

The weather at the end of May was a bit hot, and Frederick took a sip of ice juice from his thermos without haste, and then said: "Do you think that the huge strength is so easy to produce, and the production has not been tested for reliability. Do you dare to use it?"

"Those machines are used to transport people. If they are put into use in a hurry and break down and the people and goods fall, will you lose money?"

Now there was no one in the conference room.

Frederick then said to Police Minister Dominique: "The work of the police department is very heavy. It is necessary to complete the construction of the three levels of district, city, and town by the end of summer, collect clues in autumn, and arrest people in winter. There is no need for sewers on my site. rats in the house."

He then said to Judge Otto: "Cooperate well. Those who have blood on their hands, those who rape, those who cause people to be disabled, those who have flower buildings, those who organize underworld gangs with more than five people, and those who have great complaints from the people, all hang on the wall and Homes were ransacked, and immediate family members were expelled from the territory. Petty theft and extortion accumulatively exceeded 1 kreutz and went to repair the railway with prisoners of war. If it is not enough for 5 Kreuz, the shackles will be displayed to the public for 1 days."

Frederick said he thought about it here, and then said: "When necessary, the city defense army will cooperate across regions to arrest people, and those who resist can be killed on the spot no matter how small the crime is."

At this time, he asked Ogilvy: "How is the textile machine?"

Ogilvy didn't expect that the security issue would mention him. He was thinking about the things in the booklet just now, and he was stunned for a moment before replying: "I'm planning to wait for the report later, and I can already weave qualified cloth."

Frederick nodded, turned to the medical minister and said, "Frank, the girls in Hualou organize manpower and material treatment, and I will pay for it."

"Ogilvy, start preparing a textile factory over there. If there are homeless girls, they will be resettled by the textile factory."

After he finished arranging this matter, everyone in the conference room spoke except for the voice of the relevant personnel.

The underworld, flower houses and the like are not just new territories. Wesson collars have always existed, and the umbrella is in the conference room.

Frederick's main conflict before was external threats, and it was not easy to pierce this abscess. Now the main conflict is internal development, and the internal affairs can be rectified with the prestige of victory in the Six-Day War.

As for the underground order, he plans to gradually establish community organizations that sink to the streets to compress the power vacuum.

The reason why he leaked this matter so early was to see if someone could still save it.

If someone is not self-realized, Frederick doesn't mind helping him to realize it.

Frederick glanced at the umbrella coldly, then continued the meeting as if nothing had happened, and it was the turn of the Ministry of Agriculture next.
