Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 166 Benefits

The imperial meeting lasted for a whole day. In addition to formulating the policy and direction of the war, there were many detailed issues that needed to be discussed.

Although many of these issues seemed to Purficott to be just wrangling for profit, she still had to be here patiently and listen to their wrangling. Many times, she herself even had to end up fighting for some profit issues. They argue.

Although Purficott did not have many soldiers, and her territory and influence were not large, being able to sit at the imperial meeting table meant that she was qualified to share the cake at this table.

So even if Purficott didn't care much about these things, she would still be involved in them involuntarily when she sat in front of this table.

In order for his plan to be executed smoothly, Purficott also had to fight for the interests of the forces he represented.

All in all, after a whole day of wrangling, even though Purficott was a perfect being with superior intelligence, she still felt that her brain was in a trance, and she felt like she was overusing her brain.

After all, there is a huge experience gap between her and these old foxes. Most of the time, she relies entirely on her own IQ, which naturally inevitably consumes too much brainpower and mind.

Fortunately, after the whole day's meeting, Purficott's hard work was not in vain.

Among the final decisions made at the meeting, Purficott received her share of the benefits because of her outstanding contribution in this war.

Because it had been less than a year since Perficott received the title of earl and guardian of the north, she did not receive a title promotion this time.

But because of that, Purficott was compensated in other ways.

For example, her current title includes the title of Vice President of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Victoria, and the Northern Branch of the Royal Academy of Sciences will be established in the north with funding from the parliament.

In addition, the Parliament will also fund the establishment of an alchemy workshop in the North for Purficott that satisfies her, which will be used to produce various items including maid dolls, steam knights and airships in the North. Alchemical product.

These two conditions are undoubtedly real benefits. For Purficott, they are equivalent to giving her the ability to deduce various ideas into technology and transform technology into physical objects.

The title of Vice President of the Royal Academy of Sciences is not unimportant. You must know that the Royal Academy of Sciences is the highest-level scientific research society in the Victoria Empire. It contains the brightest minds in the entire Victoria and experts and scholars in various professional fields.

Although there are some guys who have been promoted based on seniority, it is undeniable that those who can obtain the title of academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences are all scientists with real talents.

Anyone who can serve as the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences can also be said to be the leader of the academic community in the entire Victoria Empire.

If Purficott hadn't made such great contributions and she really had the strength and qualifications to join the Royal Academy of Sciences, it would have been impossible for her to be the vice-president under any circumstances.

Even so, the Queen originally wanted Purficott to be the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences. However, it was only after being persuaded by the civil service group and Purficott's own refusal that he was changed to the vice-president.

For Purficott, the name of the President of the Royal Academy of Sciences is still somewhat popular, while the Vice President is relatively better.

Although it is still eye-catching, at least it is not so conspicuous.

And the real benefit is not this title, nor the fact that she can now command the academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences, but that the Parliament has paid for her to establish the Northern Branch of the Royal Academy of Sciences in the north. This means that the empire has transferred part of its scientific research capabilities to the north. Purficott can better distribute his ideas to others to do specific research work, while she is responsible for the more important work.

In comparison, the alchemy workshop in another condition seems not so fragrant, but it is also a very affordable benefit.

After all, being able to build airships in the North will undoubtedly greatly enhance the industrial production capacity of the North.

In conjunction with Purficott's previously planned industrial city, it is almost possible to set up a framework for industrial production in the north.

It cannot be said how big the scale will be, but as long as both of these can be successfully constructed, the northern border will have all the sub-projects that a complete industrial system should have, which means that the framework is set up.

What's left is just more migratory people and technical personnel, and they are gradually filled with this, making this shelf more substantial, and finally able to support the entire northern border.

However, although these two items are both benefits, they still serve the doomsday plan to a large extent. What Perficott received is not a drop in the bucket for the entire country, but it is still nothing.

After all, the only person involved in this was Perficott himself, and the people of the entire northern border did not appear at the meeting table of the Royal Council.

This is not because the beasts and horses in the Noble Council are not human beings again, but because they really can't come up with any good solutions for the pitifully small population in the north.

In addition to the aboriginal people and animals who originally lived in the deep mountains and old forests, the current population of the Northern Territory is probably only the amount that Purficott brought there. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire Northern Territory is now a wilderness.

Under such circumstances, bringing the people of the north to the Imperial Council for discussion is a bit of a fuss.

Moreover, the Northern Territory is the fiefdom of Perficott. As the lord of the Northern Territory, all the people in the Northern Territory are her subjects. She is responsible for the interests of the people in the Northern Territory. How should she treat the people in the Northern Territory? Ficott's own affairs.

She can fight for the interests of the Northern Territory at the Royal Council, and it is entirely up to Purficott to be happy as to how the benefits obtained will be distributed to every ordinary people in the Northern Territory.

In a sense, Purficott, the guardian of the north, is unique in the empire because she enjoys complete control over her own territory, just like the feudal nobles of the past.

But after the empire carried out military reforms and established a nearly modern centralized government, local lords had long lost their original rights, leaving only the ownership of the territory and the empty titles of the nobility.

So Purficott is special, and her power is amazing.

Even though the northern border is a wilderness and the population is basically zero, this does not affect the fact that Perficott is now one of the most powerful people in the entire empire.

If it weren't for the special situation now and the importance of Purficott here, it would be absolutely impossible for her to have such a powerful position.
