People are building infrastructure in another world

Aurora's fingertips touched the surname of Modo Arthur. It looked unremarkable and had never heard of this surname in the aristocratic circle.

Only Aurora knew who had this last name.

The surname the Pope gave himself, he wanted to become the noble first generation and achieve the legend of the temple's hegemony.

Modo Arthur, in an ancient language, means the eternal god.

But he had already been splashed on the beach by Aurora.

It would take time for the papal power to regain its strength.

Austin is McGill's current surname. If McGill inherits his maternal grandfather's territory, he will inherit his maternal grandfather's surname, and Austin's surname will have nothing to do with him.

So the Austin family is also involved in the track?

Aurora just needs to have a general understanding.

There are more than just these people alive in the apocalypse. These may be the only ones left by Shirley who came from the apocalypse and are walking on the track.

She thanked Shirley for remembering this, and after sending her away, Aurora asked Mrs. Taylor to organize the people at the Fountain Plaza registration office to write up a blind date planning event.

"Planning a blind date event?" Mrs. Taylor was very interested in this. "Tell me in detail, how do you want to do it?"

"It's similar in nature to holding a dance, except that during the event, there must be interaction between men and women. Don't just let them stand in one place and passively get to know each other. And both men and women must investigate their families. Let them sign up for themselves, and then divide them. Once it's over, those who are well-matched will go on a blind date first, and those who really can't get along will be mixed together."

"That's good. The people at Quanshui Square have told me many times that there have been fewer couples getting married every month recently. The data is getting worse month by month."

Nowadays, both men and women like to have fun first and wait until they are older before considering marriage issues, which has indirectly affected the marriage rate in recent months.

However, this phenomenon is only true for Beichen for the time being.

After all, even if you marry a local, your household registration may not allow you to move to Beichen. Many foreign men and women are afraid that their marriage will not be protected by Beichen's laws just because of their household registration.

Anyway, there are various reasons for the lower marriage rate.

Aurora put the question to Mrs. Taylor.

Mrs. Taylor does not urge Miguel and Aurora to get married, but she is willing to urge young people outside to get married and have children.

In her opinion, Beichen's number was still too small.

More couples will help increase the population.

In the next month, Aurora went to follow up on cooperation issues such as power station base stations.

Aurora will not give in on management issues, and all power stations will not be privatized. That is the bottom line.

By the time they met again for the fifth time, Aurora was almost bored by this group of people.

The people from the Duke of Montella said, "If you go by what you said, the power station will be under the control of your Beichen for the rest of its life. If the people who take over Beichen in the future do not manage it well, wouldn't we be very passive?"

"What you are considering is not valid. It happened decades later. I don't believe that the people in your territory are such useless people. They can't even understand this little knowledge."

Aurora's words made these people unable to accept her. If she really couldn't figure it out for decades, she would be more than just useless.

"What's more, the power station is under unified management by Beichen, and there will be clear rules and regulations. We are obviously more professional in handling emergencies."

"You can make more money, why do you always make this matter complicated." That was what the person sent by Duke Bill said.

The people talking at the conference table all hoped that this would be a facility that favored them, and that they wanted to make money first.

Instead of popularizing it, it is aimed at the public.

Even the royal family hopes to make a profit first. They think this is natural.

Naturally, if the management rights are not with them, how can they make money?
Aurora stated firmly again, "This measure is for the convenience of everyone in the empire. Its fee can be slightly higher in the early stage, but it must be charged uniformly in the future."

"Why do you always think about those civilians? Their identities are so different from ours."

Aurora: "I don't understand why you always think the people are so fooled. Half of everything I have now is due to them. They don't have titles or noble surnames. But they plant the fields and sew the clothes." Yes, even a pot or an ornament in your home was made by them. Do you want to say that I paid the money and that’s what they should do? Didn’t they pay additional taxes? What are the taxes for? In order to maintain the development of the territory.”

"They have paid more for the territory than anyone here. How can you ignore this. Just like Professor Nudes next to me, you said that he was hired by me, so does he deserve to be exploited by me? No, I am using him He makes money with his alchemy, so he deserves a share of the money earned."

Aurora said: "They have paid, but you only think about yourself. I can't agree with it. I often give you so many conveniences on the goods I sell, take the initiative to give away profits, give out formulas for free, and publish books to popularize science. This is not for any reason. . Just so that today, I can point at you openly and say, I want to do a good thing for all the people of the empire, and no one of you can try to sway me with benefits. The purpose of popularizing this power station is to fight against the undead, not the undead. It’s a money-making tool for everyone. If you don’t agree with my plan, just don’t do it. I can’t even do it in my duchy alone.”

Nudes' eyes were a little red. It was his honor to work under a good lord.

Aurora said, "Please think carefully before talking to me. If you can't even accept this condition, stop talking." Then she left the conference table.

Not wanting to stay any longer, Nudes followed Aurora and left.

Several staff members next to the agent were also very moved. Aurora, the duchess, was the lord responsible for the territory in the true sense.

No one can blame Aurora for doing something wrong, she just did what a lord should do.

Earl Garner was helpless, "I've already told you, don't be too tough when working with Aurora. It's not like she can't understand you. To be honest, she has relaxed the conditions to let you earn more in the early stage, so why bother insisting on management rights. I gave it to you, will you manage it? Will you do follow-up maintenance? Decentralize the management rights. If I want to change a wire in the future, do I need your permission to use the funds? There are lights for use and telephone contact, so I don’t need more. For management, you just have to sit back and collect my share of the money. I can tell you that I must have compromised. No matter how much money I make, it is still a number. I have already looked away, you can do it yourself."

It was difficult for the remaining four to make a decision. They originally thought they could get it done by offering a higher price.

Who knew that Aurora would not eat anything soft or hard.

They couldn't make the decision, so they had to send a letter back to the territory to see if they could continue the negotiation.

Money must be earned, and the key is to follow Aurora's plan. Funds are slowly recovered, and most of the money earned needs to be used for subsequent maintenance.

Duke Bill's side has actually given up. At worst, it will take more than ten years. If he has figured out the technical problems and does it himself, it won't be expensive.

Duke Bill is old and does not enjoy many of the benefits of the power station, and his agents think so too.

If we can't reach an agreement, we'll stop talking. Everyone came here the same way before without electric lights.

It doesn't matter if there is a power station or not, they can just pull a line from someone else and use it to make calls.Not only does it save money, it also doesn’t require any major construction work.

What's more, the undead disaster in their south is not serious. After surviving the past few years, Beichen may be short of money and let them take advantage later.

About half a month later, the meeting was held again. Duke Bill's agent just wanted a telephone base station instead of a power station. Anyway, a large power station is enough to supply the electricity consumption of many people.

Aurora only needs to connect a line. This is a plan that Aurora originally did not want to do. It would take a lot of effort to connect a base station from a far away place, which is a waste of money.

After thinking about it, it seemed that the Duke of the South had lost a lot of money, but in fact she had made a lot of money. The metal mine was from them.She was just letting people over there see the value of good things.

Duke Bill himself does not do this project, but the people below are the ones who are cheaper.

So Aurora agreed, but since she signed this, it was considered an exception.

The construction period can be set, and then the money must be paid in one lump sum, otherwise the project will not start.

In the signed contract, Aurora was afraid that the plan would change. The construction period of this base station line would not start until the nearest power station was built.

Otherwise it’s all in vain.

For the other ten contracts, due to different construction difficulties and possible adjustments at that time, as well as some force majeure reasons, the construction period will have a more reasonable change bracket.

After discussion, it comes to issues such as assistance for construction workers.

It took more than a month, and the contract was revised five or six times until both parties were satisfied.

At this time, Beichen has entered the end of autumn and the harvest season.Aurora still can't rest, and the territory has launched a new combination, tomato pasta.It's easier to make than instant noodles. Just boil it in water, cook more, and stir it with tomato sauce when it's done.

The cooking skills are very suitable for people from other worlds.

All tomato series are sold out, and some foreign businessmen even come all the way here just to bring this delicious taste back.

And only those who can make money will have a share of the class.

Arriving in Banlilu before winter, when Aurora received him, she felt that something about him had changed and something was different.

Banli Lu touched his front bangs and said, "Ahem, don't you see anything different here?"

"You are younger and have more hair." Aurora suddenly realized, "I didn't notice it before and thought you didn't have this problem."

"Nine times out of ten men have it."

Lu’s hair in class reminded Aurora that the trial period seemed to be coming soon, and the people who wrote about the trial gave very good feedback on the results.

Back to business, Banli Lu said: "You have a new tomato pasta. Can I share it with you? I can't sell it in the south. Nowadays, you can get one or two ketchup for ten golds abroad. I wanted to get the goods through normal channels. As a result, if I didn’t follow your path, I wouldn’t be able to get the goods at all, and they would all be sold out.”

"You said it earlier. I'm almost sold out. I have to wait for the next issue, which will probably be in the middle of winter." The price will be a little more expensive for greenhouse cultivation, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as selling one tael of tomato paste for ten gold. Beichen ships, top Oh my god, that’s twenty silver per pound.

Banli Lu was leaning on the sofa, his eyes dazed, "Does that mean I don't have a share in the power station, and even the tomato pasta is gone?"

Aurora thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Who said you don't have a share in the power station? Duke Bill doesn't want to build a power station anymore, do you want it?"

Benlilu caught it immediately, "Really? Are you sure? Duke Bill didn't participate? It's unbelievable. How stupid he was to refuse the invitation from the God of Wealth."

"Pfft." Aurora smiled heartily, "Banlilu, you are so good at talking, please check my conditions first."

Aurora took out the contract to be given to Duke Bill, "The completed power stations are projects that benefit the people and don't make much money. If you are sure you can do it, I will do it for you. But your family has already contributed a share, so you have to do it." , it’s best to unite a few nobles to avoid being too conspicuous.”

The deposit would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and Banlilu would do it all by himself. The aristocratic surname Ghana would become a conspicuous package.

"Do it, I will definitely do it. Don't say anything, I will follow you no matter what you want." Banli Lu is making a lot more money now, and Jin Si Zhengchou has no place to use it.

"I don't want to cooperate with other nobles. In this way, I will pay in installments and treat it as a donation to the people. However, I have the right of first refusal for things that need electricity in the future." Banlilu calculated more. Since the power station If you can't make money, don't put it in your hands.

He donated a large sum of money to do it, and the royal family and other nobles could not blame him.

Requesting the right of first refusal is a private act and may not be made public.

Aurora had to say that Banlilu was really naughty.

If his vision is high enough, his father will even lose to him.

"Are you sure? For a multi-billion dollar project, you might not be able to make it back later."

Benlilu smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you really can't make it back, just do it for the benefit of the people of the empire. My wife can also support me. But I believe that Taylor's strength will not disappoint me."

"Sure, you have a good vision." Most people don't have Banli Lu's foresight. Because Banlilu trusts her so much, Aurora gives him a thorough explanation first, "We need installers for the telephone. You I’ll send a few people over to learn first, and then I’ll hand it over to you to sell. I’m only here to make goods. You’ll know later that there are still many opportunities for you to make a fortune.”

Benlilu knew how Aurora could really engage in loss-making business. All her preparations must have been premeditated, "Okay, you are moral enough. By the way, do you have a lot of tomato pasta? I want to take some home, too. The head guy gave me a task. If I can’t buy a pound, can I give you half a pound?”

Aurora brought him ten pounds of pasta and five pounds of tomato sauce.

There are no more tomatoes. There is not much large-scale planting of tomatoes this year. If you can sell some of them, it is also to gain a reputation as a sauce.

In the next month or two, oyster sauce, bean paste, kimchi, etc. will be launched one after another, which is much more than the stock of tomatoes.

But these will only overdo it and make people accustomed to eating it.

Aurora's plan to become a gourmet country is gradually getting closer, allowing simple cooking methods to diversify.

While Aurora was working hard to build infrastructure, the Abbes Empire and the Londo Empire fought.

The fuse is simple.

The soldiers of the Abbess Kingdom had nothing to eat, and they were completely cut off from food. In the king's words, it was to force them to move forward. When there was no way to retreat, they moved forward.

I don’t know if this sentence has successfully brainwashed people.

But when the soldiers could smell the food from across the river, they couldn't help but cross the line.

Like a hungry wolf, it pounces towards the border of Rondo.

The soldiers guarding the city wall blew their trumpets and the whole battalion set off.

……

King Abbasi was having fun in the palace, hugging him from left to right.

The princess had a gloomy expression, her eyes always glanced at her husband's woman, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into wrinkles. .

The two women beside the king have slim waists and plump hips, charming looks, and delicate and soft voices. No matter what, they are in the hearts of most men.

But these two women were rescued by her as a princess on the road, and she thought they were a way to win people's hearts.

As a result, he was stabbed in the back.

King Abbas was a disgusting person, and he didn't mind being dirty and brought these two former slaves into his palace.

He also doted on them.

Princess Gao Yiguo only enjoyed the favor for three months before she was kicked off the favored throne and wanted to climb over unless she gave up her reserve.

There is also a relatively ordinary-looking little beauty left beside her. She is said to be ordinary, but in fact she can be called a delicate beauty.

The little beauty was also admired by King Abbess, but she refused to obey her, which made Princess Gaoyi look at her differently and stay with her. Today, there are only three maids left by her side, two of them are dark-skinned, and one is left. , is this little beauty.

The others had all been stained by the king, and the princess of Gao Yiguo disliked them being dirty, so she simply didn't want them.

But King Abbess is purely lustful and has no real feelings at all. The fate of being abandoned can be imagined.

There were only two people in front of him, and their methods were so powerful that King Abbess learned the taste of the marrow and never wanted to leave.

The pretty little beauty patted the princess's hand and said comfortingly: "Princess, it's all those two women's fault. You saved them, but they hurt you in turn."

Princess Gao Yiguo wiped the tears from her eyes and said gloomily: "I also regret saving them. Can you help me get rid of them? If you can take their place and let the king return to me, I will free you from slavery. "

The delicate little beauty looked panicked, "Princess, it can't be done. Even if I can win over Your Majesty, Your Majesty will soon dislike me. The best thing to do now is to give birth to the little prince as soon as possible."

Princess Gao Yiguo stopped twisting the handkerchief, "What about the current prince?"

The pretty little beauty twitched her lips. Who told her that the princess of Gao Yiguo was kind-hearted? As soon as she mentioned having children, the princess immediately thought of getting rid of the prince.

It would be unimaginable what would happen if she agreed to go with the king just now.

"Well... the princess is still the little prince. The king is young and strong now. When he gets old, the prince will also be very big." The delicate little beauty spoke very softly, her lips barely moving.

Princess Gao Yiguo almost couldn't hear clearly, but she already understood what to do. The most important thing was to have something before she could plan.

"But he's not looking for me at all now."

"Princess, you are the princess of a country. You can just find an excuse to talk about business and let the king come to your room." In the presence of a large audience, it was inconvenient for the pretty little beauty to say more, "Just leave it to the slave."
