MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 485 Worried family affairs

Chapter 485 Annoying Family Matters

"...Since last year, the goods produced by our self-government have been sold to the colonies of the entire West Coast. Due to the low price and the convenience of shipping, the merchants of the colonies of the West Coast have ordered goods from our own government. The dissatisfaction of the colonial administrative offices of the West Coast countries has increased the amount of tax on the goods of our self-governing goods..."

The report on the stage is General Scree. He is the general manager of the economic and financial affairs of the overseas self-governing leaders. What he is doing now is the annual financial and financial summary report of the overseas self-governing leaders of the 579th year.

Thanks to the previous year, Claude instructed the Thunder Army to land a large number of mechanical production equipment on the land of the kingdom, which enabled the overseas self-government to receive nearly 100 large-scale civil goods manufacturing workshops. produce. After occupying the market of the entire self-governing leader with the advantages of high-quality and low-cost commodity production, it also set its sights on the markets of the colonies of the West Coast countries.

In general, the countries of the Farrea continent treat the colonies of the slaves of the continent more than the same policy, and regard them as the importation of mineral resources and the franchise distribution market of domestic commodities, from which they obtain high profits and profits. However, due to the vast silence of the ocean, the official trade organization of the oceans and ships of various countries basically went back and forth in two years, and even the domestic goods in the colonies were in short supply, even if the price doubled or tripled, they could not sell them.

Only now is an overseas self-governing leader, and most of the goods produced by the countries of the Farrea continent can be produced independently. First, the smuggling merchants in the colonies of the West Coast countries discovered this business opportunity, imported a large amount of goods from overseas self-government, and then resold them to the colonies of the West Coast countries. As a result, the firms that run their own products are rushed, and they are not rivals of overseas self-governing goods, both in terms of commodity prices and the timeliness of transportation.

There is no way for the administrative offices of the colonies of the West Coast countries, because no one will be willing to buy high-priced domestic goods to show their patriotic enthusiasm. Local officials in the colonies can only increase the tax rate of overseas self-governing goods, but this will not cure the problem, but will make the smugglers more active and harm the overseas self-governing leaders.

The reason is that the overseas self-governing leaders are not responsible for transportation at all. The merchants of the colonies of the West Coast countries have to pay the deposits to the various manufacturing workshops of the overseas self-governing leaders. After the goods have been produced, they will pay the full cost and then take away all the goods. Return to the colonies of the West Coast countries for sale. Therefore, the tax rate for those colonial officials to increase their entry into goods only affects the income of these businessmen, and does not affect the vigorous development of the overseas self-governing economy.

"... At present, the best-selling daily-use goods of our overseas self-governing associations are cigarettes, followed by all kinds of leather goods and gold and silver crafts. Machinery is the most popular among all kinds of small and medium-sized thermal machines and steam engines. Since last year, the Dominion After deciding to implement the brand classification system, our self-governing goods have already made a name for themselves in the colonies of the West Coast and the Farrea continent...” General Scree made a report on the stage, and the members of the audience from time to time applauded and cheered. ......

Claude himself did not expect that the cigarette sales market would be so hot. The cigarettes produced by his own tobacco workshop would not be stored in the warehouse. It was almost a dealer who had been waiting for a box of cigarettes and had been waiting for a long time. Take it away. The food was so arrogant that Claude had to re-open a large tobacco production workshop with the House of Representatives. The Field family had the largest share of 15%, which was enough to satisfy the demand for cigarettes on the market.

This is the third large-scale enterprise that has been invested by the overseas self-governing members. The first two are overseas Minsheng Bank and overseas railway stock exchanges. Claude's own tobacco manufacturing workshop retains only three cigarette brands, one is the Moon Shadow brand cigar, the other is the light cloud Ms. Mint cigarette, and the last one is the Fire Dragon brand high-end cigarette. The large-scale tobacco production workshop that everyone invested in produced the most widely sold low-end cigarettes. The former is called Pegasus and the latter is called sailor.

Seriously speaking, Claude's current status has exceeded all expectations of his father, Mr. Morssan, in this world. That will be in Bailu Town, Mr. Morssan only hopes to open up a new sea route to make a contribution to the kingdom, mix the lowest honor baron or something, so that his career can be further improved and become the mayor. In the future, I will become a member of the National Assembly. Even the family of the Field can become the most famous family in the local area of ​​Bailu Town...

Now that Claude is in a high position, he holds the military power of the entire dominion and speaks differently in overseas self-governing leaders. The Field family has also become one of the most prestigious families of the entire overseas dominion. The Field Manor of Lanhu City is like a cloud every day. It’s not to go to the door to see Claude, or to visit the old lady, or the family members of the councillors to discuss things with Kafnila. Even Claude’s mother often laments, if Mr. Morssan is still there...

"...Our overseas railway stock exchange company has laid the first railway in the northern part of the self-governing territory of the port of Vibator, Cromwell, and Beringa, officially put into operation, income Very impressive. The railways in the southern part of the Dominion, the provinces of Robesto, Amphitheatre, Mormay, Tilsim and Atulas are about to be put into operation. I believe that it will not take long before we It will be able to recover the investment.

In the next three years, we will continue to lay the second railway connecting the entire overseas self-governing body. This railway is ready to be laid in the coastal zone. The current survey and terrain work has been completed and construction will begin soon. This coastal railway will connect all the coastal towns, making it easier and faster to realize the circulation of goods and transportation speed of the Dominion..."

The person who made the report on the stage has been replaced by General Bologna, who is talking about the future development prospects and goals of the overseas railway stock exchange. In the plan of the autonomous prefecture, in the future, it is planned to build three railways in all autonomous prefectures. At the very least, one should be built in the coastal area to facilitate the transportation of seafood catches and rapid deployment of troops.

From the second half of the 579th year of the glory to the year of 597, the economic development of the overseas self-governing leaders is like a fast lane. Without the colonial war, there was no martyrdom and repression from the kingdom of the kingdom. The overseas self-governing leaders had a rare free time to enjoy the quiet development of the past two years. The self-governing state changed a thousand miles and a thriving life.

The four autonomous prefectures with a population of more than one million are Cromwell, Beringer, Amphitheatre and Tilsim. The remaining five states are the least populous in the Rocky Mountain state, with only one town with a population of more than 70,000, mainly dealing with the Nikkan people. The seventeen gold and silver mines in the entire state only mine three. When the miners are criminals who have been sentenced to hard labor in the self-governing conspiracy, there are also the kingdom envoys who were arrested the previous year and the officers and men of the Marine Corps.

In addition, the state of Artura is because the abundance of tobacco has grown by a population of 100,000, while the population of the port of Vibator, the state of Robisto and the state of Mormaly has not changed, although the entire overseas self-governing body The total population of the residents is nearly seven million, but the entire overseas self-governing body is still very lack of human resources. Sometimes the Self-governing Executive Committee talked about this situation, and I hope that Claude will lead the Thunder Division to force the migration of two or three million kingdoms from there.

Fortunately, there are more than 500,000 Hicks soldiers who have been captured. They have become the main green labor force for the public construction and railway construction of the entire overseas self-governing community. The autonomous leading region also abides by the promises of General Claude and General Beechklin. As long as they work diligently and make their own contributions to the construction of the dominion, they will not be ill-treated in terms of food, clothing and accommodation.

Not only do the more than 500,000 Hicks prisoners eat and warm every day, but even one meal a day, and a large amount of ale can be distributed to the work quota. There is a little salary subsidy every month, just like the self-governing collar. The military region employs hundreds of thousands of extremely low-cost workers. Those who are sick and injured can still get the treatment and vacation of the pharmacy apprentices. So many Hicks captives have thought about it and want to stay in the dominion life after the expiration of the labor service.

The year-end summary meeting was held for two days. The first day summed up the gains and losses of all aspects of this year, and the next day looked forward to the improvement work of the new year and the expected accomplishment. In the evening, after a big meal, I will go to the meeting. After that, I will go to each family to find each mother and enter the 15-year annual leave. It will not officially start until January 5th of the New Year. Of course, Claude has to be on duty in the military command, and he has to go to the garrison to welcome the new night...

This year's year-end summary meeting is held in the largest Lanhu tavern in Lanhu City, as in previous years. The Executive Committee of the Autonomous Leadership Bureau is rich in wealth and has covered the Lanhu Grand Pub for three days. However, General Bologna is not satisfied with the Lanhu Grand Pub. Every year, the year-end summary meeting here has become bored. Therefore, at the conference, it is proposed to build a building as the main hall of the self-governing parliament. The final year-end summary meeting will be held in the general hall, so that it is confidential and allows the members to have private leisure parties to discuss.

As a result, this proposal was unanimously passed at the conference, and the parliamentarians responded enthusiastically. This should be the fastest proposal to be passed by all the members of the parliament this year, and the negative votes are zero. Even the construction funds allocated have doubled, and even large sums have been made. Members of the public said in public that he could make a personal donation to make the building of the General Assembly more luxurious. To commemorate this proposal by General Bologna, the still-conceived general hall has been named the Bolognik Building.

Crowder took the carriage and returned to the Field Manor under the **** of the Guard. When he got home, he found that Kaffini was holding a big belly and chatting with the same big belly sister Anna. This is Kaffini's third pregnancy. The sisters Anna and McJack have been married for so many years, and they have finally been pregnant. After returning to the Field Manor, they will rehabilitate their tires and hand over their magic labs and several male and female disciples in the Blackstone Guns Workshop to Sonya. The lady is in charge.

The reason why her sister Anna was pregnant until now is that she finally cultivated the magic level to her head. She is now the five-ring rune mage, the one that has reached the top. Next is to find a way to find a breakthrough method in the era of magical civilization in ancient times, but sister Anna is relatively light on this, she thinks that the current level of magic is enough for her to use, will not waste time in the illusory legend. Magic level breakthrough method...

Compared with his sister Anna, Claude is more shameful. Until now, his magical cultivation has been able to touch the side of the four-ring rune mage. It is estimated that it will take another year or two to be promoted to the four-ring rune wizard. This is mainly because his magical cultivation has been intermittent, and the high-powered affairs involved him a lot of energy, especially during the war, he has no cultivation mind. Even the magical cultivation of his brother, Blovik, is about to catch up with his progress.

I’ve had a bit of trouble in my family these days, about my brother Blovik. The mother did not know how much effort she spent on the marriage of her brother, Blovick. As a result, for the so-called everyone who was introduced by the mother, the younger brother of the member of the parliament, Blovik, did not even look at it. Instead, he gave the big sister of the Anna Ranch, Adele, a big belly.

Adele was the daughter of veteran Soft. Soft died on the battlefield to cover Blovet. Before the death, he asked Blovet to take care of his children who remained in the kingdom. Blovet agreed. After the war, Blovet returned to the kingdom to find the family of Soft, and then Blovet found the Adele brother and sister who had fallen into a wandering child. In order to let Adele be willing to go with himself, Blovet promised to adopt more than 20 street children mixed with their brothers and sisters, and even took 40 children on the way back.

Adele, who had just been adopted, is only fourteen years old. In the past few years, Adele became the big sister of the street children of Anna Ranch and became an 18-year-old girl. Sister Anna has always appreciated Adele's strength and ability, and she is responsible for all the affairs in the ranch. God knows how Blovik gave her the hand, and when Adele’s stomach was so big that it could no longer be concealed, the people who had the ranch gave the matter to the mother.

The mother was so angry that she spent so much thought on her younger brother, Blovik, who introduced so many beautiful relatives. The younger brother, Blovik, not only did not care, but mixed with a shepherd. Even if the father of this shepherdess saved the life of Blovik, the Keel family adopted their brothers and sisters. She will never allow her brother, Brovik, to marry this squatting shepherdess...

Claude has nothing to say, people will change, and mothers will be the same. Perhaps it is the rise of Claude's status that has caused the mother to be like this. I have been in contact with the family members of the self-governing members and the so-called high society. I have regarded myself as a noble lady and have looked at the family face more than anything else. . The younger brother, Blovik, is the owner of the nominal Field family. She could not agree with Blovik's request that it would make the Field family lose face in front of the upper class of the entire self-governing leader.

The mother fell ill, and the younger brother, Blovik, was more reluctant than her mother. She simply stayed in Anna Ranch to take care of her aunt, and even the Field Manor did not return. Claude is also a grievance of a stomach, who recruits who provokes himself, the family has two big stomachs, and the mother and the younger brother have troubled this out again, and it is not a person inside or outside.

"Why don't you sleep, it's half past eleven." Crowder asked as he took off his fur coat. Fortunately, there are pipes in the living room with boiler heating, the room is not cold, don't worry about the two big belly women catching a cold.

"We slept for too long in the afternoon, only got up at 5:30, and now we can't sleep." Kaffney replied: "Do you want something to eat? I call the kitchen for you."

"No, my stomach is full, go get a hot bath first." Claude waved his hand: "Right, is the mother better?"

"She is still the same, you don't go see her." Sister Anna was very unhappy and interrupted: "She is not sick at all, you go to see her, she sighs in bed, as if she is about to die, in fact Her body is very good, she can live for another 20 or 30 years. I will give her a meal at night. She even spleen and smashed me, saying that I made a self-proclaimed marriage to Mai Jie and gave my brother a bad example. It is really mad. It’s dead to me. It’s so much more noble that our Field family seems to be. Isn’t Grandpa a farmer or a drunkard?”

"Oh..." Claude could only shake his head and smile: "You don't want to mess with her. You still have children, don't give yourself a sigh, it's not good for your health." My mother is old, and I have been flattered in recent years. I really have some things to forget. But we are her children. Some things can only follow her. If she doesn’t do it for us, don’t let it go. .

In fact, I also said to Little Booker, as long as I like it, don’t worry about how others talk nonsense. Just like the shoes that don’t fit the shoes, only the people who wear them know that others say that the shoes are expensive and expensive. If they can’t wear them, they can’t wear them. As long as we are strong, we don't have to care about what others say. When Adele gave birth to the child, maybe the mother would change her mind..."

Feeling tired, Claude soaked in the tub, sighed deeply. At this time, he saw a blue folder on the cabinet next to him, and he understood the information summary of the two days that the adjutant Major Mason Hughes had sent. I didn’t interrupt my meeting but at home. It seems that the world is peaceful and nothing big.

Lazy to pick up this folder, open, and see the above is the information about the king from the White Deer. The Nasri Kingdom sent several special envoys to the kingdom, which is said to be a question of debt between the two kings and the new King Frederick I. Sterling XI, who has already hanged, borrowed three high-interest loans from the Nasri Kingdom and will expire in June next year. The sum of these three loans totals 8 million gold kronor...
