Avril was still a little timid: "But even if I don't give a speech, they know that this is the Nader family's factory and that I am the owner of the factory, right?"

"......"

Seeing that Avril was still hesitant after he said this, Bird raised his eyebrows and stuffed the stack of manuscript paper he had prepared back into his arms: "Okay, if you insist on thinking so."

Maybe there is something wrong with the target I chose.

Avril may be obedient and easily influenced, but if she can't even do superficial work like giving a speech, it will be too difficult for her to become prime minister in the future. We have to consider changing someone.

As for Avril, he could continue to take care of her. After all, he had watched her grow up, and it was also Baron Robert's last wish - but he should find someone else to be the leader, she was not suitable.

"Then there's no work for you."

So he smiled and said, "I'll take charge of this speech. You just need to spend a leisurely day."

With that, Bird prepared to ask Sophia to leave.

Watching Bird leave, Avril suddenly felt guilty, as if she was a child who had done something wrong.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Finally, seeing that Bird was about to disappear from sight, Avril gritted her teeth and suddenly shouted.

"Is there anything else, Lord?" Bird stopped and turned to ask, "Do you want me to ask Miss Mary to make you a pot of black tea?"

"I think, I think it would be better if I gave this speech," Avril said loudly.

"Ok?"

"Even if I don't give a speech, everyone knows I'm the owner of the factory," Avril summoned up her courage and continued loudly, "But in order to showcase the style, speaking talent, and personal charm of the new generation of the Nader family's patriarch, I must participate in this speech!"

Well, maybe we can observe it again.

"...A wise choice, my lord."

Bird's lips curled up into a smile. He quickly walked back to the desk and took out the manuscript from his pocket again. "I have written the speech. When you give the speech, you can read it."

"Why didn't you give it to me in advance?" Avril took the manuscript and activated her idleness skill, trying to make herself feel a little more involved so as not to appear so passive and to cover up her previous embarrassment. "Maybe I can try to memorize it. That will help my image better."

"Are you sure?" Bird asked.

"......Okay, it's not impossible to just read it." Avril decisively followed her heart, "Let's just leave it this way, and read it from now on."

"Yes, my lord." Bird smiled.

Chapter 22 The Power of the Head

"Well, we should treat the factory as our home, take care of it, protect it..."

"Speak more naturally and fluently."

"As long as you keep working hard, your life will become sweeter and sweeter..."

"Don't look so stiff."

"......"

In order to reduce accidents during the speech, the 1-meter-tall lord faced the wall, holding the speech in his hand, with a serious face and a frown, pretending that the workers were in front of him, and tried to give a passionate speech.

Bird stood by and watched, correcting some problems from time to time.

The practice lasted for quite a while, and finally, after a whole morning of practicing against the wall, Avril finally delivered a smooth speech that Bird was quite satisfied with.

"That's enough, that's enough."

Bird glanced at his watch and said, "My Lord, next we will go tour the factory, get to know the equipment, and familiarize ourselves with the site. After lunch, we will rest, and then in the afternoon, you will give your first speech."

"Okay, Bird."

Avril breathed a sigh of relief, a tired look on her face.

"You've worked hard." Bird smiled slightly and rubbed the Lord's head. "You've worked very hard, Lord. Many people are afraid to go on stage when they hear about giving a speech. You've surpassed most people."

"That, of course."

After being praised a little, Avril puffed out her chest proudly and said with a smug look on her face, "I'm the head of the Nader family. This little thing is no problem for me!"

I don’t know who was making excuses timidly this morning.

Bird complained inwardly, then took the refreshed Avril to visit the remodeled magic-powered machine.

Magic Power Machine is actually the official name.

Bird is more accustomed to its shortened name, wind turbine.

A wind turbine is a huge machine, mainly composed of four parts: an energy area filled with magic stones, a magic circle area used to convert magic power into wind power, a power area used to convert wind power into mechanical power, and an exhaust area that removes excess wind power.

As long as workers put in the magic ore, the wind turbine can convert the magic power into powerful wind power through a series of seemingly simple but ingeniously designed magic circles, drive the rotation of the internal turbine fan, and convert it into mechanical energy.

Clean, efficient, environmentally friendly, safe... but not safe. If there is a problem, such as non-compliant operation or outdated equipment, this thing will explode in front of you at any minute, so magicians are needed to regularly check and eliminate hidden dangers, and magic craftsmen will repair the problems after pointing them out.

But compared to the advantages, this disadvantage is not a disadvantage.

In Bird's opinion, the significance of this wind turbine is no less than that of the steam engine on Earth in previous lives. However, due to the long-standing traditions in this world, people believe that magicians are the primary productive force rather than magic.

So, like other magical machines, the wind turbine did not cause any special response and was merely used as a tool to increase production speed - which seemed to be true.

Far away.

After a brief tour of this rough and wild machine, Bird took the lord, who was not very interested in it, back to the villa to enjoy lunch and take a short rest before preparing to give a speech.

The speech took place in the open space in front of the factory, where dozens of newly recruited workers had gathered. These people were all healthy adult men selected by Bird from the town. Although they were a little thin due to lack of work and money to eat, they were enough.

When they heard that the leader who was recruiting them was going to give a speech, they were just talking idly in their lowered seats.

"What do you think the Lord looks like? This is the first time I've seen him."

"Ah, so Mr. Bird isn't the lord?"

It was only at this moment that Avril became nervous again after hearing other people's comments about her.

"B-Bird."

Avril held the manuscript in her hand and said nervously, "Okay, there are so many people."

"Lord, please don't be nervous," Bird tried to soothe him. "They are all your hired workers. They wouldn't dare laugh at you even if they made a mistake."

"No, that's right, I, I, I'm not tight... ah."

Because she was too nervous, the little blonde girl accidentally bit her tongue and cried in pain.

...Alas, it's still a bit forced.

Although after a few attempts, you will gradually get used to speaking in front of a crowd and the nervousness will definitely improve, but if you make a fool of yourself the first time, it will definitely leave a psychological scar.

Bird thought for a moment and took out a piece of candy wrapped in oil paper from his pocket.

【Candy of the Roaring Fuhrer】

This is the system reward obtained for teasing Avril in the morning. The effect is that it can allow the user to gain a bonus of the power of the leader for a period of time, but it does not say what it is specifically.

But as we all know, as a legendary figure who started from scratch, the most important ability that allowed the head of state to get started was his speaking skills.

According to those who have heard it, the Führer's speech is extremely inflammatory and has a "demagogic" power. Although his speech is short, it is precise and can be accepted by a wide audience. In addition, his charismatic and large-scale gestures make people full of passion.

I guess after eating this, I won’t be too nervous about giving a speech, right?

"Here, Lord." Bird opened the wax paper and handed over the white candy inside. "If you're really nervous, eat some candy. Sugar can help relieve tension."

"Okay, okay."

Avril took the candy with trembling hands, put it in her mouth without even looking at it, and started chewing.

As the sweet taste blossomed from the tip of the tongue, the trembling of the small body stopped - the power of the leader began to take effect.

"Hey, this candy is so effective?"

Avril looked at her hands in surprise. Instead of being nervous, she felt better than ever. Endless confidence surged in her body, and her mind suddenly became filled with countless complicated thoughts, all about how to incite the people.

"That's good." Bird breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the speech should go smoothly. "It's time to go give the speech, my lord. The workers are waiting anxiously."

"Speech? Yes, I want to give a speech."

Avril reacted.

So she looked down at the speech in her hand.

"What a boring speech." She threw the manuscript aside and said with disdain, "It's full of meaningless sentimental nonsense. How can such a rubbish speech stir up people's emotions? I'll do it myself!"

After saying that, Avril straightened her chest and strode towards the open space where the workers gathered.

Bird: “?!”

Chapter 23 I order you now, hug me!

After eating the candy, Avril's temperament changed drastically. From a little blonde girl who was pretending to be strong, she seemed to have truly transformed into a capable leader.

When she walked in front of the workers and the podium that was specially raised for her height, the whispers and discussions below immediately quieted down.

That's just the way it is with some people.

A natural leader's temperament allows him/her to calm a group of people down just by standing there.

At this time, no one ignored Avril because of her 1-meter height and cute face. All the workers were sure from the bottom of their hearts that this was the lord of this territory who hired them when they saw Avril for the first time.

"My compatriots..."

As soon as she came up, Avril said in an infectious tone: "I am Avril Nader. Today I stand here, standing on the land of the golden people, not for, but for."

"Who is responsible for our poverty? Is it our laziness?"

"No, of course not! We all have hardworking hands! We can all support ourselves!"

"It is those foreigners who are the real cause of our poverty!"

"Just like I'm doing now, we only need to build a factory to process our own wool into cloth, and we can easily create dozens of well-paid jobs! The salary I offer is enough for your family of three to live a prosperous life, not to mention buying cloth at a much lower price!"

"But all this time, they've been using our wool, making our cloth and selling it to us!"

"We need more factories! So we can have more jobs and buy cheap cloth!"

"So from today on, we will work for our own bread and for the space for our national survival!"

"......"

Listening to Avril's passionate speech on the stage.

Bird's mouth twitched when he heard this.

It's the Führer's old trick. A sophistry that distorts the facts.

It is obvious that the nobles enclosed land and occupied it, which originally belonged to the farmers, causing many people to be displaced and rely on odd jobs to make a living in the city. However, after being distorted, it became the scissors gap between industry and agriculture of the country by foreigners, which left them without money and without jobs.

Were the foreigners unwilling to build factories? Clearly, these nobles were too lazy to take on the trouble and risk of opening a factory. For them, herding sheep provided a stable income, so why would they bother with the hard work of running a factory?

The Führer's speeches are usually brief and concise.

Therefore, this short speech ended quickly, but the emotions of the workers were fully aroused and they cheered enthusiastically.

"Avril! Avril!"

"We admire you, Lord!"

The real lord, Avril Nader, left the open space step by step amid the cheers of the crowd and walked towards Bird.

"A perfect speech, Your Lordship." Bird immediately applauded.

"Ah."

Avril nodded in satisfaction. "Remember, Bird. Next time you write a speech, just follow the one I gave this time. Don't write anything so soft."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

As Bird answered, he looked at Avril, the majestic figure in his head, and suddenly a serious question occurred to him... How long does the effect of this head candy last? The system didn't seem to say!

"Okay, I'm a little tired from the speech. Now hold my hand and go back to the villa to rest."

Avril said this as she stretched out a white and tender palm and waited quietly.

"Ah?" Bird was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive.

This was the first time that Avril asked him to hold hands. You know, in the past, when he occasionally tried to hold the lord's hand, the usually arrogant lord would be shy for a moment, then look around pretending not to care, and only dared to hold hands after confirming that there was no one around.

Is the Lord in the form of the Head so direct?
