Chapter 369 Chapter 367: Field Visit (Subscription Request)
Loy had to admit that after becoming the earl, his life was not as comfortable as before.

There are always endless things to do, endless government affairs to deal with, endless emergencies to resolve, and endless conflicts to adjudicate...

In addition, he had to balance practice, meditation, study, and mechanical design.

You also have to grasp the direction of territory development, formulate various major strategies, think about and implement various policies, consider people's hearts, and compete with others in wits and courage.

Facts have proved that it is very easy to be a "tyrant". Although you may lose your head if you are not careful, at least you can act recklessly in the process.

But if you want to be the leader of a revival, you have to be really busy and have no rest.

Luo Yi didn't know how other nobles lived, but for him, if Shen Lan didn't help him record, sort, coordinate and plan, he would definitely be too busy.

Although I have only been in Auckland for a few days, there are really a lot of government affairs piling up.

After resting, Luo Yi immediately started to deal with it.

Most of the government affairs are emergencies. When the people below can't make up their minds, he just needs to set the tone and give instructions.

It is worth mentioning that there are a large number of orders from the Habsburg Empire.

To be precise, orders from the military are increasing at an exaggerated rate.

Previously, the processing machinery of Xianhualing, various 'turning, grinding and milling' were the favorites of the magic world, and those mechanical wizards were happy to order a batch of them.
Not only can you do research, but you can also let your subordinates practice and share the work for you.

Of course, the number won’t be too many.

But later, when the Maxim magic machine gun appeared, the imperial military could no longer help it.

Compared with the standard magic rifles in the current army, the Maxim heavy machine gun has huge advantages.

A small team carrying only two guns dared to face the charge of most knights, which was something that had never been thought of before!
As a result, the Imperial Military passed the review and trial process at an unprecedented speed and formulated a plan for deployment.

Although there are certainly arsenals producing military products within the empire, no matter where they are located, patent laws have little effect on military products.

However, the arsenal under the Raymond Magic Energy Group still received a large order.

The arsenal has basically been operating at full capacity since the beginning of the year. At first, it was used to replace the equipment of the Knights, and later it was used to receive orders from the Empire.

This order opened the door to the military, and the purchasing staff discovered that the secret medicine brought by Xianhua Ling was very effective.

In particular, Roy Fitz's Warrior Secret Medicine has an excellent recovery effect for soldiers who undergo high-intensity training in the army.

In addition, after processing machinery became popular, the military also purchased large quantities of it.

Nowadays, almost all of Brussels’ mechanical products and heavy machine guns have been taken over by the Imperial Army, and the production capacity seems to be stretched to its limits.

As for those scattered orders, unless there are special requirements, they are all delegated to Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group.

It can be said that in terms of talent reserves, Xianhua Territory cannot compare with the Magic Energy Group in Oakland City.
But in terms of scale and production capacity, this side has already surpassed it.

With these orders, it means a steady stream of income, a large amount of gold and silver coming into the account.

And this is the reason why Luo Yi has the confidence to build a modern magic power city.

In the foreseeable future, he really has no shortage of money!

However, as a large number of orders poured in, the industrial zone's insufficient production capacity immediately became apparent.

There is a shortage of magic apprentices, skilled workers, raw materials, processing machinery, and even transportation is a little insufficient!
The first railway line in Flower Territory was built from the industrial area outside Brussels to the north, leading to the mining area of the Dome Mountains.
and west, to the warehouse area of Siren Harbor.

This double-track railway runs back and forth non-stop every day, and its carrying capacity is quite amazing.

But no one has ever been there, and the goods transported back and forth are either ore, raw materials, or various processed products.

But because it travels too frequently, some railways have even been worn out and need maintenance. The person in charge, Lord Hick Cruz, has reported that an extra track should be added to relieve the pressure.

Also handed to Luo Yi's desk was a port expansion plan for Siren Port.

The Siren Port used to be busy, of course, but it was definitely not so busy that there were ships running day and night.

But now it is!

The warehouse in Siren Port has so much piled up goods that if you want to rent it, you have to increase the price and make an appointment, otherwise it is common to not be able to find a place to store them.

Therefore, Grand Knight Thor has submitted the expansion plan, which mainly involves building new docks, expanding residential areas, and large warehouses.

Loy has already approved this plan, along with a plan to add another track to the railway, but not three tracks, but four tracks instead.

Construction in other places can be stopped for a while, but here, the deployment of personnel needs to be accelerated.

As for the shortage of talent, the old method is used. In addition to internal training, the other method is to poach talents from other empires.

It is worth mentioning that with the promotion of the secret medicine of meditation, the effectiveness of the empire's education has become more and more significant, and more and more people have magical powers.

There are many older people who have managed to learn basic meditation through their own efforts.

They are naturally not qualified to be magic apprentices.
After all, it was really just a little more magic power, and he knew nothing about magic.

In order to distinguish them from magic apprentices, they were given a new name, magic workers.

As the number of magic workers in the empire increases, they are no longer as popular as before.

Naturally, it is also much easier to recruit, even if they work outside the empire, but the money offered by the Raymond Magic Energy Group is too much!
Roy approved the talent attraction plan that Maruna submitted, and even allocated a large sum of money for him to give full play to.

After thinking about it this way, actually, the most troublesome thing is the raw materials.

Flower Territory lacks a lot of basic materials. After all, it is just a territory. Although the Habsburg Empire has them, their internal demand is also huge. At this time, Roy is in urgent need of suppliers.

And the ones he targeted were Archduchess Aphra and old Freud, as well as the vassal nobles under their command.

This is how we came about this visit!
……

He said he would take the two of them on a site visit, but in reality, Luo Yi still delayed it for a few days.

On the one hand, it is to deal with the backlog of government affairs, give people new goals, and get them moving.

On the other hand, there are some things that cannot be seen and have to be hidden!
However, in addition to these two, Luo Yi also selected some of the nobles who had already arrived, gave them invitations, and asked them to come together.

These nobles are basically those under the two major families who have strength and fiefdoms.

Of course, it also includes some members of the other three major families, such as the Wick family.

The first stop of their visit was the military camp!
……

Outside the city, inside the military camp.

Da da da da da da!

Although Alan Wells is not very powerful, many nobles know him, and his arrogant face in the Noble Elders' Council is still fresh in the memory of many people.

Of course, today, he used his actions to tell everyone that he has the capital to be arrogant.

At this time, he was seen shooting from a prone position. The Maxim Magic Heavy Machine Gun was pressed on two wheels, and he was half-kneeling to control it.

Six hundred rounds of bullets per minute seemed to pour out a metal storm all over the field.

But after using up a belt of ammunition, he was still not satisfied. He disassembled it, changed the order, and then directly lifted the heavy machine gun.

He carried the huge ammunition belt on his back and rushed directly into the maze of low walls built in the trench to imitate streets.

He was seen charging forward alone, like a berserker, and the firepower he unleashed was so exaggerated that it was astonishing.

He even performed a maneuver in a dead end, using a wave of bullets to clear the way and crash directly into the wall.
It also lets everyone know that in the future, street fighting can also be fought vigorously.

The knights in training were accustomed to this scene, and they even teased Knight Alan Wells for his non-standard movements.

But the nobles watching were all stunned. Even Grand Duchess Aphra had a forced smile.

Even old Marquis Floyd couldn't help swallowing.

It would be fine if Alan Wells was the only one so brave.

The problem is that the knights surrounding him were all carrying these heavy machine guns.

After a long while, Old Floyd finally said, "This kind of magic firearm should be very expensive, right?

How many guns did the Habsburg Empire give you? How many legionnaires can you equip?"

This was his last struggle, but the next second, Luo Yi directly broke his fantasy: "Of course I don't have any if the Empire gives me one. It's obvious that I produced it and gave it to the Empire!"

"Expensive? That's not too expensive. After all, I have the production technology and production line. I have the raw materials. I can have as many heavy machine guns as I want!"

"Now, there are fewer qualified machine gunners. The knights are physically strong enough, but they still need to learn how to meditate.

As for the young guys, meditation is easier to get started with, but they still need to train their physical strength.”

"I'm really troubled. Right now, there are only a few hundred-man teams."

"But if we really have to charge, I think even 10,000 cavalrymen wouldn't be enough for me to kill. It would be really lonely!"

"By the way, if you still have doubts, you can actually give it a try.

According to my calculations, a third-level extraordinary being, with his fighting spirit fully activated and transformed into defensive armor, should be able to hold out for about a minute, no more."

"So confident?"

Old Floyd insisted: "What if I take action?"

"Try?"

"Just try it!"

So, after a moment, everyone saw an astonishing scene.

Five heavy machine guns fired in a fan-shaped pattern. The muzzle flashes were a foot long, and gun smoke filled the entire training ground.
Old Floyd used all his fighting spirit to form a fighting spirit shield in front of him.
Then, he became a sitting duck, enduring a hail of bullets like a violent storm, his body being pushed back continuously.

One minute, he persisted for a full minute, and then chose to escape.

His fighting spirit wings spread, and he soared into the sky.

At this time, even if everyone adjusted the muzzle of the gun in time, they could not concentrate their fire and thus could not pose a threat.

But none of the nobles who came to visit looked happy.

That was a fourth-order natural disaster, and they were still in such a mess. But what if it was their army or the Knights?
I'm afraid it would have collapsed a long time ago!
The next second, they saw old Floyd falling from the sky, holding Roy's hand directly, his eyes full of eagerness.

"This heavy machine gun, are you selling it?"
