Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 108 The Duke

When Purficott built the airship, she didn't make it too big. After all, it was just for her own escape. There were only places for herself and Foster on the ship, so she didn't need to make it too big. big.

But even so, Purficott arranged a comfortable bedroom, or single cabin, for himself in the cabin below the upper deck.

But now, there was someone else living in this single cabin, someone she didn't expect and shouldn't be here.

"Your Majesty the Duke of Gloucester, I didn't expect you to come to the North in person. This is simply..." Looking at the Speaker of the Noble Council in front of him, Perficott was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to evaluate the other party's behavior. .

He is the speaker of the Parliament of Nobles, equivalent to the prime ministers of those constitutional monarchy countries in the world before Perficott traveled through time.

For such an important figure as the head of a country to come to the north with such ease and risk, it really exceeded Purficott's expectations.

At the same time, it also gave her a bad association, and she asked with an ugly face: "Did something happen in the local area?"

"No, on the contrary, everything is normal in the mainland now, and because of the progress you have made on the 'Arctic Scientific Expedition' project, the people of Langton are discussing it enthusiastically, and related industries and economies have been stimulated and achieved great results. A certain development." The Duke of Gloucester shook his head slightly and introduced to Purficott the changes in Langton in the past few months.

Hearing what the Duke of Gloucester said, Purficott couldn't help but frowned: "Then what happened that made the Speaker of the Noble Council come to the North in person? I can't think of anything important enough to require you. Go there yourself."

"It's about that matter." Duke of Gloucester said, and then glanced at Foster, who had been standing behind Perfectcourt.

"Grandpa Alfred is my most trusted butler. He knows everything, and I also need his experience and wisdom." Purficott understood what the Duke of Gloucester meant, but she still spoke up and kept Foster.

Seeing this, the Duke of Gloucester didn't say much. He just nodded and then said: "Miss Brandless, I want to know how confident you are now about your plan to deal with the doomsday disaster? How much have you achieved? progress?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Purficott seemed to understand after hearing the Duke of Gloucester's question, but he did not point it out directly. Instead, he asked him: "As for the implementation, I can only say everything so far. All goes well, I can build the forward base before winter this year, as long as there are no irresistible surprises.

As for other things, there are still some technical problems that have not been solved yet, but this is not a problem. I am confident enough to solve all these before the end of the world, but I am not sure whether I can cope with the end.

In other words, none of us will be absolutely sure about this matter before the end of the world actually comes. So what exactly do you want to know? "

The Duke of Gloucester was silent for a moment after listening to Purficott's words before speaking: "The crisis response committee established by the empire to deal with this disaster has not come up with a practical plan until now. Her Majesty the Queen is very concerned about this. Disappointed, he lost his temper at the Imperial Council."

"Oh? Can I say that they deserve it? Finally someone has taken care of these old grandfathers who are living in corpses?" When Purficott heard the news, he immediately made sarcastic remarks.

The Duke of Gloucester also understood Purficott's resentment and did not explain anything. He just sighed and said: "If there is no progress you have made as a comparison, this matter would be easier to solve.

But precisely because of the progress Miss Brandlis has made, the Crisis Response Committee is acting like a bunch of clowns.

Her Majesty the Queen is very dissatisfied with this and orders us to come up with a practical plan before winter and take action. The empire's precious time cannot be wasted like this. "     Speaking of this, the Duke of Gloucester sighed again, and at the same time he was also dissatisfied with the nobles who were lying on their backs.

If they hadn't run away from Purfict in anger, the talented girl should stay in Longton to advise the crisis response committee, instead of becoming a stark contrast to their incompetence and letting the Queen whip them with a whip.

"So?" Purficott noticed the Duke of Gloucester's mood and asked with a bit of a sneer: "So, Your Excellency, you are here in person because you want me to give you some advice?"

Although Purficott was dissatisfied with the nobles of the empire, he had no real intention to watch them continue to be incompetent and do nothing to save the millions of people in the empire.

If the Duke of Gloucester is willing to ask for help, Purficott can't give him an idea.

However, the Duke of Gloucester shook his head and said in denial: "Don't underestimate the nobles of the empire. Although they often hold each other back due to interests, when they are really needed to work, they can still do it." Do your job well.”

"So you have a plan?" Purficott was not surprised by this. After all, she also knew what kind of virtue the imperial nobles were.

Incompetent is indeed incompetent, but when someone can really force them to work, they can indeed come up with something.

Usually, the character who forces them to work is the Speaker of the Parliament of Nobles, the Duke of Gloucester.

The Duke of Gloucester has always performed very well on this matter in the past, but it was just the Crisis Response Committee's wrangling and botching that still made the Queen express her dissatisfaction with him, and further vented this dissatisfaction on the Crisis Response Committee.

Purficott did not know that because of the progress she had made in the north, three nobles on the crisis response committee had been punished by the queen, and one of them had even been deprived of their title.

But no matter what, the crisis response committee came up with a plan to deal with the disaster.

"Yes, we have a plan. Taking into account everything you have done in the north, they made modifications to your plan and proposed a plan to develop the north." The Duke of Gloucester explained to Purficott, and at the same time He also picked up a document from the table nearby and handed it to her.

Purficott quickly read through it. This plan can be said to be similar to the plan she is currently executing.

It is nothing more than using the expansion of the northern border as an excuse to send people from the empire to build immigration settlements in the north, and then expand these settlements into shelters when the weather gets cold to shelter people who have migrated from the mainland.

"This is a fairly feasible plan, but what does it have to do with your coming to the north, Your Majesty the Duke?" Purficott was still puzzled as to what this plan had to do with the Duke of Gloucester's secret arrival.
