Chapter 510 Ji Ming's Great Disaster!
They were all his own people anyway. In order to confirm his statement, Cang Lang simply shared the intelligence about the Blackwater Territory collected by the Foreign Affairs Bureau with Ji Ming.
Ji Ming quickly opened it and found that the Blackwater Territory has become a big construction site.
Not only is it an arsenal, but various non-governmental forces and even various official governments have invested here to build fertilizer plants, iron smelting plants, coking plants, and even huge factories that are written as tractors and read as tanks... Purely running into the era of heavy industry.
But as we all know, if local industries want to develop rapidly, in addition to the green light and preferential strategies from relevant departments, location advantages are also very important.
Or be close to the origin of raw materials, such as high-quality coal and iron ore, to reduce logistics costs and trouble on the road.
Either the transportation is extremely convenient, and any materials you want can be obtained quickly and cheaply.
Considering the personal particularity of Lord Eleanor and the remoteness of the Blackwater Road, the possibility of having the second advantage is almost zero.
so……
After professional exploration, the players were surprised to find that although the Blackwater Territory, except for the Great Plains in the east, the other three directions are barren mountains and rivers that are difficult to develop.
But precisely because of this, there are many unexploited mineral veins in it, and the quality is quite good, and the varieties are also very complete. As long as the roads are built, it definitely has the potential to develop heavy industry.
Although after choosing this path, it is foreseeable that the Blackwater Territory will really become the "Blackwater Territory" in the future, but the massive wealth and military strength brought by this... it is simply a land of prosperity!
——So who told Eleanor about this development plan that is full of compulsory geography courses for Chinese high schools? The thinking is too advanced.
Ji Ming was quite curious about this, so after walking around his construction site with Cang Lang, he immediately changed back into the God's Choice vest and rode his Pegasus to the castle left by the count.
It is said to be a castle, but in the early days of business, everything was naturally kept simple, so this tall building that looks like an old man has no trace of repair at all. Only the brand new red flag on the city wall proves that it is still standing.
Ji Ming didn't want to pay tribute to the legendary captain Zobayan and was beaten down from the sky by nervous guards, so he didn't wander around in the air and directly controlled the Pegasus to land on the open space in front of the castle.
It can only be said that the Black Water Territory is a really good place. Although the guards did not recognize him and all set up their spears in a panic, someone who knew him soon arrived.
"…Uh-huh."
The old lady didn't have many old friends left in the royal capital, so after meeting Queen Meryl, she told Ji Ming that she was going to visit friends and left Qixia City alone.
Ji Ming felt awkward at that time. Although the old lady didn't want to say it, this friend was probably an archbishop, but he didn't expect it to be so.
However, he cleverly did not point it out, but pretended to be shocked.
"Ah, teacher, why are you here!!! (Shocking sound)"
Blois patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
"Okay, if you keep acting weird, I'll twist your head off."
With the old lady leading the way, entering the castle was naturally smooth, and he met Eleanor smoothly.
It can only be said that heavy work is still training people. It has only been less than two months, and Eleanor is a completely different person now compared to before.
First of all, the little girl's clothes are not as exquisite and fancy as before, her long ocher hair does not have any headdress, and there is no jewelry on her neck or hands.
Except for a light-colored cloth flower blooming on the chest, which forcibly shows that Her Highness the Princess has a broad mind, she only wears a simple long dress and trousers from head to toe, with very few traces of embroidery work.
He seems to be working more calmly than before. He sits in front of the large table and looks serious. It feels like a college student who is taking the required courses at the end of the year.
But from the look on his face, 80% of it is about linear algebra... and he's studying big questions... and he doesn't know... well, maybe he doesn't know the previous ones either.
But even though she was calm, she was still a little excited after seeing Ji Ming, and immediately put down what she was doing and walked over.
"Ji Ming? Why are you here? Are you here specifically to see me?"
Ji Ming didn't intend to lie, so he said calmly.
"Qixia City has been so lively recently, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it. I planned to take advantage of the summer vacation to study in the country, and I happened to pass by your place, so I came here."
As a result, Eleanor was like that player who likes to skip the plot when she has nothing to do. She seemed to have only heard the last sentence.
Immediately excited.
"Great! You sit down first, and I'll ask the waiter to bring you some drinks!"
Well, maybe it was because there were not that many waiters in the castle. After that, she trotted out of the office.
"Tsk."
Seeing that this little girl was paying attention to Ji Ming and ignored him the whole time, Blois's face immediately fell.
Gritting his teeth, he simply raised two fingers and gave Ji Ming a double-barreled shotgun finger move.
Inspiring and enlightening.
"You are a disaster! I will definitely advise these little girls to stay away from you in the future!"
Ji Ming: Huh?
Ji Ming, who felt that he had been extremely wronged, quickly explained.
"What, my conscience, I obviously behave upright, sit upright, and conduct myself in the most honorable way on weekdays, okay?"
After saying that, he walked towards the sofa in the corner of the room, and at the same time used his [Saint's Cut] to take a look at Eleanor's desk.
It can only be said that although Eleanor has graduated early and started working, she still has a certain clarity that is unique to college students.
For example, this is her office. It is clear that an outsider is here, but important documents are still undisguised!
So he could clearly see that what was lying there and worrying her was a plan for purchasing equipment for the Knights.
Okay, let me see what she is studying... Uh, are the Blackwater Knights equipped with M4A1 or AK-47?
? ? ?
Well, it is indeed a magic turret that can blast out at least three magic turrets just by waving the staff and raising your hand.
Ji Ming dared to say that if it weren't for the machine gun, which was really difficult to use on a horse, she would probably be prepared...
Then he saw at the bottom of the plan, although not all of it was revealed, at least the title was "Research and Development Application for 'New Heavy Machine Guns and Field Cannons Based on the Draft Horse Platform'."
Okay, okay, as expected of you!
Eleanor was very efficient in her work. She didn't keep them waiting for long before she came back with a pot of tea.
Fortunately, she hadn't completely become stupid. At least she knew how to bring three cups back. If she had only brought two, the old lady would have really lost her temper.
After sitting down, Eleanor naturally asked Ji Ming, the person involved, what happened on Luoshen Mountain.
Ji Ming has told this story countless times, so he told her about the Demon Lord and the Purple Lightning God in the most concise language.
"I see, that's good, as long as it's okay..."
But Eleanor, as the first listener to hear my story, breathed a long sigh of relief after Ji Ming finished speaking.
"Well, when we first heard about this, the teacher and I were frightened. We were ready to rush back to the capital to find a way to save you."
"I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Such a big thing happened, even the true god took action, and you could still come back unscathed."
To be honest, Ji Ming had heard similar words countless times in the capital.
No matter it is a big noble or a young master, no matter it is a big girl or a young daughter-in-law.
Familiar, unfamiliar, familiar, unknown.
After he finished telling the story about the Meteor God Peak, he would basically repeat the story about the wheel.
After all, it doesn't cost money to be obedient, it's just a matter of words.
So, these are all polite words, people just say it casually, so don’t believe it.
But Ji Ming believed what Eleanor said. There was nothing he could do about it. He was half a teacher to Eleanor, so he still understood what she was thinking.
So in response, he also asked Eleanor what had happened in the past two months.
Who knows how good this will be, maybe because there are really no "peers" around me, and a lot has happened in the past two months.
"Oh, you don't know, I feel like I almost died on the road."
Eleanor opened her small mouth, and once the words of complaint came out, the chat box could not be closed.
Only then did Ji Ming realize that although Eleanor looked very beautiful when she set off.
The king came in person, and the prince (Philippe was indeed a decent man) saw him off, but in fact everything after that was not smooth at all.
There is no way, the road is long and difficult. If life is compared to a game, Eleanor chooses to strive for and accept the title of "Princess", which is equivalent to playing well in peaceful mode, and adjusting it to nightmare difficulty with nothing to do.
Being severely beaten in the royal capital will not make the anti-Changge forces at home and abroad give up. They will only become more frantic to prevent her from becoming bigger and stronger.
And although they don't dare to pull the Sun King's tiger beard for the time being, they will blatantly assassinate a newly promoted princess on the way to take office.
But she still has the courage to cause trouble behind her back and interfere with Eleanor's work, and she is very bold!
So from the moment Eleanor's motorcade left Gyeonggi Province, there were really constant situations along the way.
To put it mildly, the water supply at the accommodation suddenly stopped, and there were always unknown animals barking nearby in the middle of the night.
On a more serious scale, a large number of bandits appeared on the road to rob the road, or 114,514 old men and women were lying on the ground shouting, "She hit me!"
But the archbishop has seen too many of these little tricks. When the road is unfair, he just takes out his scepter and hits his mother's head, and that's it.
So the boss who deliberately smashed the pipeline was taken to the lord's mansion, and the dragon roaring dog tied nearby became breakfast the next day.
The mountain bandits who were rampant just a second ago only hated their parents for having two legs. The man was caught at noon, and the sunny baby was hung up in the afternoon.
As for those who come to touch porcelain...
An old succubus who was nearly a thousand years old said: "What, you are the only old people. If you don't leave, I will say that I have angina pectoris!"
With all the archbishops protecting their bodies, Eleanor had no dangers along the way, and the convoy arrived at the Blackwater Territory smoothly.
But for Eleanor, the road to taking office is the first hurdle.
No, Tiger Pioneer is coming soon.
As soon as they arrived at the Black Water Territory, the surrounding nobles formed a bureau, saying they were here to pick up Feng Xichen to welcome the princess, but in fact it was Yin Yang who had changed her ways.
One moment he talked about Marquis Changge, and the other moment he talked about Princess Mengquan. Anyway, he just poked the little girl wherever it hurt, just to make her look embarrassed in public.
As for why these young men with big sesame seeds and mung beans dare to be so arrogant, it is because although the area of the four-in-one Black Water Territory is not small, its geographical location can stretch the crotch.
Forget about the pile of rubble on the ground, it still lives in the southeast corner, adjacent to the sea, a remote place in the kingdom, which can be called an ancient pagoda in another world, the pure sky is high and the emperor is far away.
——Jiejiejie, without grandma and grandpa's body protection, how can you, a little girl, turn the world upside down?
Anyway, the archbishop left for something, so let's take this opportunity to make some achievements!
Tenis: "Good, wonderful!"
Who knew that all this was just the archbishop's deliberate fishing, and the old lady clearly made the hook straight and the bait salty, but she still caught a lot of fish, which was really fun.
And under her kind "advice", everyone's moral value naturally increased, and they all turned into very good people.
Now they don't talk weird anymore, they smile more cheerfully, and even leave much faster after the meeting.
As for what happened next, it was simple. When this group of nobles who were instructed by others and had ulterior motives were preparing to launch a second round of offensive, Lao Changge came.
They provided Eleanor with more start-up funds, so that she could renovate the infrastructure in the territory while forming the Knights, and improve her reputation and dominance.
And Eleanor was also very willing to sell all the gold, silver, jewelry and expensive dresses she had accumulated in the past 20 years, and took the opportunity to go all-in.
This wave directly made the old people who followed the Marquis of Changge cry. They sighed that the Marquis was virtuous and the young lady was so wise. We old guys have no regrets in this life!
So the plan to kill Blackwater Territory by commercial means and make Princess Eleanor go bankrupt quickly failed.
But as we all know, the biggest advantage of the villain is the action power and the courage to never give up. Therefore, they learned from their mistakes and immediately combined their existing strengths with the actual situation to iterate the new play style.
However, just when they were about to find various reasons to blow up bridges, block roads, hire bandits, and implement the strictest material embargo on Blackwater Territory, the pioneers came.
...
Well, let me guess, do you think the players will use their one cubic meter backpacks to carry the materials into Blackwater Territory by human flesh?
Ha, too slow, too slow, we are players, and we have our own version of the answer!
——That's right, just buy a few more pack horses, form more convoys and transport them generously!
What? You said the road ahead is blocked and the bridge collapsed?
What happened to the logistics personnel? Call the civil engineer here immediately and quickly connect this thigh for me!
Anyway, there is a practical training camp to send players to level 20, and players with a large number of mages can build faster than the lords can tear down.
What? You said there are bandits blocking the road ahead, and there are villains blocking the way?
How can we repair it? This is the eastern part of the Kingdom of Glory. If they dare to act recklessly here, they are no longer ordinary thieves. We must fight them hard!
Damn it, look, I will send tanks to send them all to the sky one by one!
