Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 141 Future Planning

Is Purficott greedy for power? This is probably negative, at least she thinks she doesn't like power.

But for Purficott, it is impossible to have no power.

After all, nothing she wants to do can be done without power.

When she had no power, there were many constraints on what she could do. Even if she wanted to warn the authorities that the end of the world was coming, no one would pay attention to her, and she would even be regarded as a madman.

But when she has power, no matter what she wants to do, others must take it seriously.

Although Purficott is not greedy for power, if he does not want his hard work to be in vain and everything he has worked hard to be destroyed, Purficott must have power.

She didn't trust the nobles in Langton. In her eyes, they were just a bunch of insects.

Do you expect them to be able to respond adequately before the end comes? Purficott would rather believe that when he wakes up tomorrow, someone telling him that the end of the world is a lie.

So in order to avoid being completely messed up by those insects, Perfectcott must have the power to fight against them.

And this means that as the lord of the North, she must deal with all kinds of troubles herself instead of leaving it to the imperial government.

What's more, Purficott doesn't trust the officials of the empire. She doesn't think those officials can have enough foresight to plan everything in the north so that the north can have enough response capacity in the coming doomsday. More population.

She can only do all this by herself. After all, so far, no one in this world has the ability and vision to convince her that she can confidently hand over the control of everything to him.

With the help of professors and five civilian officials from Longton, Purficott could finally withdraw from the tedious work and leave the trivial matters and research projects to others, while she herself could Focus on drawing a blueprint for the future of the North.

According to Purficott's previous ideas, the future of the North will be divided into several different major cities, with different functions.

One of these and the most important cities was obviously an industrial center.

Whether before or after the apocalypse, industrial production is essential.

Especially in the future planned by Purficott, a large number of robots and automated machinery will be used, which will inevitably require strong industrial strength to support them.

Fortunately, the industry of this era is still mainly focused on steel and machinery, and neither scale nor technical difficulty is high.

As long as a large steel plant and manufacturing plant are established, the basic industrial production capacity will be ready, and other things can be manufactured by the manufacturing plant using the steel produced by the steel plant.

And there is still time. With the reputation of opening up the northern border, Purficott can get a lot of what she needs from the empire and directly build an industrial city in the northern border.

After all, this should be a good business in the eyes of some people. Building the northern border can mean countless money and opportunities. The emerging bourgeoisie in the empire will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Especially when they invest in the North and possibly obtain the title they desire from Purficott.

You must know that for the emerging bourgeoisie, they are more like a group of nouveau riche than the old aristocrats. Not to mention their lack of aristocratic background, many of the emerging bourgeoisie are just some wealthy businessmen and real upper-class dignitaries. Completely out of touch. This has also led to those wealthy businessmen and entrepreneurs eager to improve their social status, and a prominent and dazzling noble title is undoubtedly the best way to demonstrate the social status they have achieved.

Therefore, Purficott was not worried that he would not be able to complete the industrial center he needed before the end.

She believed that as long as she used some noble titles as bait and offered the benefits of opening up the northern border, the emerging bourgeoisie in the empire would give her what she wanted.

Not to mention that she still has the support of the royal family, and the Queen's special and full authorization document has not been withdrawn yet!

If Purficott is willing, he can still mobilize all the properties under the royal family's name.

And she was not polite to the royal family, and directly ordered a set of steel smelting equipment and a set of forging equipment, which will form the basis of her planned industrial production center.

As for more industrial production capacity, she will let those capitalists take their money out of their pockets.

In addition to these, according to Purficott's plan, the 17th Guards Division will also need to find a place to garrison after next spring, and build a fortress locally for garrisoning. It cannot be like this year without even a garrison. , can only stay in the New World colonies.

And not only does this army need to be stationed in the north, Purficott also needs to win over the morale of this army and completely control it.

According to her prediction, when the information about the end of the world is announced in the future, chaos will inevitably arise in both the northern border and the New World colonies. It will definitely not work if there is no army that can suppress the situation.

In the next year, Purficott hopes that she can successfully hold this army in her hands, otherwise she will have to adopt strategies that she is unwilling to use.

And that means she needs to abandon a large number of people.

This is obviously what Purficott does not want to see. Everything she is doing now is to save as many people as possible. It would be better not to save a large number of people than not to save them.

But Purficott already had a plan to win over the army, so she wasn't too worried about it.

In comparison, it is more difficult to establish a scientific research center in the north. After all, before the end of the world is announced, it is almost unthinkable to have the universities and research institutions in the empire relocate to the north. .

At most, Perficott relied on his financial offensive and the authority from the royal family to second some professors from these universities to establish a university in the north.

It may not even be possible to build a university.

This can be seen by looking at the New World colonies next door. Although they are also known to have universities, university degrees in the New World colonies are not welcomed even in the New World colonies. Only those who really cannot afford to go to university in the empire will study in this kind of university. Studying at university.

Therefore, the establishment of a scientific research center is not the focus of Purficott's work next year. It is put as far back as possible.

In Purficott's busy life, this year has finally come to an end, and the new year has arrived.
