Chapter 634 Private Banquet
"Today's speech was a success. Congratulations to both of you for establishing victory in advance." After the speech, Purficott invited Kallen and the prime ministerial candidates from the North as planned, and said polite words to them.
Because it was in public, Karen did not show any familiarity with Purficott, but politely accepted her courtesy.
On the contrary, when the candidate for prime minister in the north faced Purficott, he showed a considerable degree of respect, but he did not appear to be flattering, and he exercised a good sense of proportion.
This made Purficott praise him very much and couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Wellington, is this the first time we have met? Your speech was impressive. It can be seen that you should be a practical person." Civil servant, I think it will be a blessing to the people of the empire if you become the Prime Minister.
"Your Excellency, the Count is ridiculous. I only have a little bit of experience. Compared with a wizard like you who built the entire northern territory from scratch in three years, I am still far behind. If you can really be elected, please Lord Earl, please give me your support." Wellington is not yet the Prime Minister, so he keeps a low profile in front of Purficott.
Purficott didn't care about this. He just waved his hand and said a few polite words before extending the invitation: "I have prepared a small amount of wine at the lord's mansion, and I would like to invite you two to enjoy it."
Facing the invitation from the Earl of the North, neither Wellington nor Karen had any reason to refuse.
So the three of them took Perfectcott's carriage and returned to the Lord's Mansion.
On the way, Purficott also specifically asked how the two of them traveled. After learning that they both took public carriages every day, Purficott immediately said that he would give each of them a steam carriage as a gift. Transportation.
Of course, this is suspected of bribery, but for the northern lords, no one dares to trouble Perficott with this kind of thing, let alone make trouble with this kind of thing.
Because this was just a trivial matter, Purficott could get rid of it by simply saying that the vehicle was on temporary loan and that the ownership still belonged to the Lord's Mansion.
So both Wellington and Karen accepted it after politely declining.
Of course, the purpose of using a public carriage is to show people's kindness and integrity, but in the weather in the north, riding a public carriage is somewhat difficult, and it is far less comfortable than the steam carriage presented by Perfectcott.
Of course, the current natural environment in the north cannot be tolerated by horses. Public carriages basically only move within the coverage of the urban heating field, and only when the weather is good.
When the weather is bad, these carriages have to stay down.
Because of this, the Chernobog City Government is considering replacing all public carriages with steam carriages, so that a relatively stable public transportation system can be established.
This plan has been submitted to Purficott for approval. She has no objections to it. The establishment of a public transportation system is indeed a good idea and is conducive to urban development.
It’s just that steam carriages are still too inefficient, and steam buses are a more suitable choice.
However, considering the various problems that arose when the original World Steam Bus first came out, Purficott felt that it should be reconsidered.
Maybe we can consider taking out rail buses? Purficott doesn't have any particularly good ideas yet, so the matter has been put on hold for the time being. Purficott only approved the application for adding steam carriages as public transportation. After all, her hesitation here does not mean that improving public transportation does not need to be done.
Moreover, the replacement of horse-drawn carriages by automobiles is an inevitable trend of the times. Steam power is superior to animal power in every aspect, especially in this era.
"Invite you two. The current situation is difficult, but there is nothing worthy of hospitality. The doe sent by the following people a few days ago is quite good. Please be sure to try it. The deer steak stewed by my chef is fragrant. Great!" Purficott greeted politely, and then led the two of them to the restaurant.
However, although Purficott said that he could not prepare a simple meal, when Wellington and Karen sat down, they still tasted quite delicious and rich dishes.
Although the meat food is indeed relatively small as Purficott said, only fresh venison and a little cured meat and bacon, various vegetables and fruits are not scarce, on the contrary, they are very abundant.
This aroused Wellington's curiosity, but even though Kallen knew that these were all products of the lord's mansion's greenhouse, she still had to maintain a look of disgust towards aristocratic arrogance and lewdness on her face.
Purficott simply explained a few words, and then just chatted with the two about some household matters, as if she really just invited them to dinner.
However, after both of them had almost eaten, Perficott changed the subject and told them the real focus of today: "I believe both of you should know what happened in Langton. At that time, Alchemy and I The former president of the association, Sandrillon, took action together, but he still seemed weak in the face of the gods. The threat of the evil sect is evident
Although the situation in the north is relatively stable now with the help of the church, the major colonies in the empire are not so peaceful and tranquil. This time Princess Anne went to suppress the colonies, and to a large extent she was going to clean up the evil sects in various places. means.
The two of them are the most likely to be elected in this prime minister election. If successfully elected, they should not hesitate to make more contributions in this regard and make their due contributions to the stability of the imperial society and the development and survival of mankind. ”
This is Purficott's biggest concern. With her in the north, there will definitely be no chaos, but she can't guarantee that in other parts of the empire.
The power left over from the church in Langton has become like that. The church originally wanted to establish the Kingdom of God on earth, but now it is nothing but chicken feathers.
One can imagine what the other colonies of the empire would be like.
Although according to the news from Princess Anne, the situation in the colonies was not that bad, Princess Anne quickly stabilized the local situation and returned it to the empire.
But there is a key issue that cannot be covered up, that is, the number of Divine Grace Knights in the two flag teams sent by Perficot has been reduced by four.
As for Princess Anne's own troops and the Empire's local troops in the colonies? Their losses were not even reported, but the actual situation is conceivable.
If we don't take this issue seriously now, when the Evil God Sect takes a firm foothold in the old world, it will be difficult for the empire to resist it.
In particular, the situation of major colonies being infiltrated by the evil sect needs to be strictly investigated. The northern border has been infiltrated before, but Perfectcott does not think other colonies have the ability to resist.
