It's more of a historical record than a novel.

But who says historical records aren't interesting? Or fascinating? The grandeur inherent in humanity itself is the very essence of romance.

At least when Bird was a child, he would scan through every history textbook twice before reading it, and he read it with great interest. He even bought a world history book at his own expense. Later, he also liked to watch the videos of Guigu and Little John on Bilibili.

So Sarah naturally immersed herself in this magnificent world that belonged to humanity.

Human effort, human struggle, human invention...

Because she was so absorbed in her thoughts, she had unknowingly walked from her original standing position to Bird's bedside and sat down, lowering her head and reading attentively.

Even after turning the last page of the manuscript, Sarah still felt a little unsatisfied.

No more......

The sense of satisfaction and loss after watching a good work filled Sarah's chest so strongly that she wanted to say something, so she raised her head.

Then.......

Sarah found that she had unknowingly sat on the edge of the bed, and Bird hugged half of her waist and held her in his arms for a long time.

Because she was too engrossed before, she didn't notice this at all and was taken advantage of for nothing.

"You, you, you!" Sarah's face immediately flushed, and she became emotional. Her fingertips began to glow blue. "You pervert! You actually molested me again while I was studying! You absolutely can't let me go this time..."

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute."

Bird immediately shouted, "This is part of the bet, have you forgotten?"

"Bet? What bet?"

Sarah was stunned for a moment, her memory suddenly returned, and then her eyes suddenly widened.

It seems, seems, possible, perhaps, that I made a bet with this pervert, betting that this pervert could not write a novel that is both interesting and can promote the concept of pan-magic.

The bet was that if I won, this pervert would never touch Sophia in front of me again! He was also not allowed to find opportunities to molest me again. In short, he was forbidden to do anything naughty.

But on the other hand, if I lose, this pervert will not only be able to touch Sophia as he pleases, but he can also touch me as he did to Sophia, and he can also... do whatever he wants to me.

Originally, Sarah thought she couldn't lose.

But who knows, who knows....this pervert really wrote it! ! ! ! !

How can a pervert be so talented that his first novel is better than hers! ! ! !

"so."

Bird shrugged innocently: "According to the bet, I can molest you like this."

Sarah's face turned pale.

Was I really going to be molested by this pervert from now on? I was like a toy for him to play with, to touch and kiss whenever he wanted, and even... Ugh!!!

No no no, this is absolutely not okay!!!

"......." Sarah gritted her teeth. "Who, who said you won! A novel like this, a novel like this is not even worthy of the title! Don't be so proud! I'm a professional writer, and I'm making professional judgments!"

"Oh?" Bird raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll send it to a newspaper and ask professional editors to review it?"

"......"

Her final act of tough talk failed. Sarah wailed, her face turning blood red. "Oh, oh, oh, I see. You pervert must have planned this all along! You wrote the novel and then proposed the bet just to trick me!"

"If you want to molest me, that's all you want! Anyway, I've already been molested by a pervert like you!"

"A pervert like you must have wanted to do this a long time ago! You must have wanted to do those weird things to me like the protagonists in those books! I knew it a long time ago!"

Seeing Sarah's desperate expression.

"Okay, stop making that face. Who wants to molest you?"

Bird shrugged and said, "I was just joking. Sophia won't be happy if you agree. Anyway, just leave Sophia and I alone from now on. It's annoying that she keeps yelling every time we get even slightly intimate."

"Eh?"

Sarah had never expected that she would be let off so easily: "So, I can leave..."

"Don't want to leave?" Bird raised his eyebrows and pretended to eat a child. "If you don't want to leave, stay tonight!"

Chapter 46 Prosperity and Opposition

Vian Bobby is the current mayor of the Forks Borough.

Having just turned 40 today, he is in the golden period of his life. He is sharp-eyed, energetic, ambitious, and has been racking his brains to climb up the ladder.

But the road to success is so difficult.

Without sufficient background, relying solely on one's own abilities, being able to become a district chief is already the limit for an ordinary person. To be able to do any more, one must be extremely lucky or have great abilities.

The Prime Minister's arrival was an opportunity.

Bobby had done his best to prepare a good reception, hoping to win the man's appreciation, but he had no hope.

Because this prime minister is a well-known pragmatist, it is far from enough to impress him with pomp and show. Only real political achievements can impress the heart of this prime minister who is currently in office and will presumably be in office in the next term. Only then will there be a slight chance of gaining his appreciation and being included in the cabinet.

"Mr. District Chief, I have an idea." Secretary McKen said at this time.

"explain."

District Chief Bobby stared at him with burning eyes.

"Yesterday, the Nader family's steward came to me and expressed his intention to build factories around the county," Secretary McKen said. "If we offer some preferential policies, we can have a large number of factories open in the county before the Prime Minister arrives."

"Many people are opposed to building a factory in the county," Bobby hesitated. "If people knew it was my policy, we'd lose a lot of votes."

"Isn't it okay if it wasn't launched by you?" McKen said.

"What do you mean?" Bobby asked.

"Let the parliament take the blame. Find one of our own legislators to propose it, and then have it pass. That way, you, the nature-loving district mayor, won't have anything to do with it at all," McKen said. "It's easy to fool those ordinary people, and we don't have to worry about the remaining votes. We won't lose too many..."

"......You're right, Mikan."

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Bobby smiled and said, "Go ahead and make the arrangements. Remember to do it in secret."

"Yes, Mr. District Chief." Secretary McKen smiled.

......

With the secret promotion of District Chief Bobby.

The decree to encourage the establishment of factories was quickly "inadvertently" proposed by a member of parliament in parliament, then passed through parliament at an absurdly fast speed, and implemented at a speed that was inconsistent with government efficiency.

Lowering rents, providing subsidies, tax exemption for the first two years... favorable policies have been proposed one by one.

As a result, the capitalists in the entire Fox District began to engage in a frenzy, and factories were built like mushrooms after a rain.

In fact, it is not the case that a factory can be established quickly as long as policy benefits are provided.

But on the one hand, the Nader family was the first to open a large number of factories. The huge profits obtained from the improved wind turbines were already enviable, which led many wealthy people and nobles to think that they could do it too, and they also sold their houses to set up factories.

On the other hand, the Fox district is a transportation hub for several surrounding marginal constituencies. It is surrounded by raw material production areas and has a very advantageous geographical location. However, due to historical reasons, it has not been open to factories. Now that it is open, it is naturally rising rapidly.

All of this has driven the prosperity of the entire area.

Factories needed new factory buildings, which led to the prosperity of the civil industry and created a large number of job opportunities. After all, moving bricks is a job that all young and strong people need.

The operation of the factory itself requires hiring workers, creating a large number of jobs, and it is long-lasting.

Factories need raw materials, so farmers and ranchers increase production significantly and hire more farmers to participate in production, which in turn further boosts the economy.

Factory production requires transportation, which has driven the prosperity of the transportation industry and increased the number of wind trains.

For a time, the whole county seemed full of vitality, everything was flourishing, and the effect of simple favorable policies was far beyond expectations.

The managed area is so prosperous.

District Chief Bobby had originally expected the factory to incur losses due to subsidies and had been mentally prepared for this. However, after a simple calculation, he found that the income would actually increase further.

He was immediately extremely satisfied, thinking that with such a lively scene, he might even be able to attract the Prime Minister's attention. He praised his secretary McKen who had made the suggestion.

but.

Amid the frenzy, not everyone supports the policy.

For the already wealthy middle class, factories bring a lot of noise and pollution, seriously damaging their living environment.

For traditional artisans and farmers, factories have taken away their jobs, their labor, and squeezed out their handmade products at low prices.

So these people united to discuss countermeasures.

"Look at the environment our ancestors created. Those factories have ruined it. The streams are full of sewage, the sky is filled with black air, and the garbage dumps are filled with slag from the demon mines!"

"I woke up this morning and the sky was all gray."

"Our products are not selling well. If we insist on keeping the same price, we will only lose money on every sale."

"Smash those factories and don't let them continue to operate!"

"You must be joking. Putting aside the question of whether you want to be arrested by the gendarmerie, do you think we are your opponents with so many workers?"

"Move, I can't stand this place anymore."

Just as everyone was arguing fiercely, a young man named Roy came into the meeting and brought back a top-secret message.

In fact, all of this was a conspiracy arranged by District Chief Bobby.

Although on the surface these are policies implemented by the parliament, District Mayor Bobby has no choice but to do nothing about it.

But in fact, it was because of his own political achievements and in order to make the Prime Minister take notice of him during his visit that he secretly pushed for the implementation of this policy. That is why this policy was pushed forward at a speed that no one could react to, and everyone in the district knew about it.

From start to finish, Bobby did it all by himself!

After finding out the real murderer behind the scenes, everyone in the meeting was excited.

"It's that damn district chief!"

"He clearly told us that he would never agree to allow the factory to be opened in the county! That's why we agreed to vote for him!"

"He actually did such a treacherous thing just to get promoted and win the favor of the Prime Minister."

"We must not let that bastard get his way!"

"Everyone."

Finally, the young man who happened to report the news spoke again: "Since that idiot is willing to betray us in order to gain the Prime Minister's appreciation, we must never let him succeed."

"Although we can't confront the Military Police head-on, we can still destroy his dream of promotion..."

Chapter 47: Leadership Aura

Today is a day to make a fortune.

With the rapid expansion of the factory, Bird's hands were tired just from counting money every day.

On the one hand, Bird made money by opening factories and selling goods; but the main thing was the orders for improved wind turbines from all directions, which allowed Bird to make a lot of quick money.

Bird was not surprised that the modified wind turbine was discovered.

After all, the price of the cloth produced was reduced by half out of thin air, and it was impossible to hide it, so it was better to admit it openly.

Therefore, he only asked Sophia to conduct research and modification to ensure that the wind turbines sold were "castrated versions" with lower production efficiency than the original versions of his own factory. Then he opened up the sales of wind turbines - this made money much faster than selling cloth.

The foreign debt that was originally borrowed was naturally repaid early.

Early in the morning, the lord made his usual silly noises.

"Bird, what is today's work?" Avril asked energetically while sitting behind the office chair.

"Today's work is to go to the theater." Bird said slowly.

"Watch a show."

Avril frowned. "Bird, I don't like listening to plays. They're so boring. And listening to plays isn't considered work, right?"

"This isn't some pretentious play in the theater. It's a truly excellent play performed by real people. It's guaranteed to be fantastic." Bird smiled. "As for why attending a play is like a job... Of course, it's because we're in the play too. We have to play minor roles and participate from the sidelines."

"Although it's a bit troublesome, the advantage is that you can see more clearly at a distance..."

Avril: “???”
