Chapter 747 I'll play the stage and you sing an opera
Halkin was quite nervous when walking on the creaking mansion stairs.
The smell of alcohol on his body had not yet dissipated, and his steps were slightly weak.
At the just-concluded banquet, Halkin, as a entourage, felt quite energetic to return home.
The masters of craftsmen who once called him a dwarf came to toast him because his Industrial Department was the department that dominated the steel orders.
The old friends even came over to make connections, making him blew away, and trying to get some inside information from him.
Don't look at Halkin's soft persimmon that smiles at others, it seems that anyone can step on it.
To be honest, although this is not an old player in the internal beta during the Gulag period, he is still considered a public beta player.
The dwarf is also an authority on matters related to the cannon factory and industry.
Especially among the reform dwarves, this person's reputation is unparalleled.
Even the masters of dwarf craftsmen are all "craftsmen" and are the citizens.
Although Halkin's status cannot be hereditary, it has already been compared with the middle and high-level nobles.
I have never seen the dragon-worshiping dwarfs become nobles in the human kingdom.
But no matter how high Halkin's prestige is among the reform dwarfs, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when he was summoned by the Saint Sun.
Especially, he just brags to his younger brothers, saying that he has some shame in front of the saint grandson.
Halkin also reassured them that with him, the Sun Mian would never let the new Lengquan Fort shake the status of Lengquan Fort.
But after the banquet, he was immediately notified to go to the mansion to meet the Saint-Sun.
This is horrifying. Isn't it because Cheka made a report?
Stand in front of the red-painted gate, while the monks go to inform.
Halkin first picked up the vase beside him, rinsed his mouth with the water inside, and spit it back.
Then I cleaned my hair and beard, flattened the folds of my clothes, and put my collar neatly. "Hergen Harkin, are you ready? You can go in." The Privy monk poked his head out from behind the door.
"Of course."
Walking into the room, Halkin could see Horn sitting upright behind the long table: "Good evening, cow."
"Good evening, please sit." Horn pointed to the chair in front of him, "Do you know the plan for the New Cold Spring Castle?"
"I fully support your plan." Halkin hesitated for a while, and still spoke cowardly, "It's just that Lengquan Fort is a metallurgical center for nearly a hundred years. It may take a long time for the new Lengquan Fort to replace the old Lengquan Fort."
"With our clockwork-driven mining crushers and conveyor belts, our development speed will be much faster than them." Horn pointed out the window, "Besides, I'm not going to replace Lengquan Fort, this is just a bargaining chip for pressure."
"What do you mean, New Lengquan Fort is just a cover to scare them?"
"No." Horn naturally shook his head, "New Lengquan Fort is still to be established, but the main direction will be on the bitter gall water copper smelting."
"That's natural, there is motivation only if there is competition." Halkin breathed a sigh of relief.
Lengquan Fort iron smelting and Xinlengquan Fort copper smelting, the two sides are in staggered competition.
Because Lengquanbao iron industry is the big one, and Xinlengquanbao copper industry is the big one, the weak small heads on both sides cannot form pressure.
However, if one party is not satisfied, the Saint Sun Mian can completely support the other party to check and balance.
I have to say that this is indeed a good way. "I suddenly remembered one thing. You have a good relationship with a noble girl from Crab Roll Fort?" Horn suddenly started to talk about another topic.
Halkin hurriedly responded carefully: "Seodora is the daughter of Crab Roof Castle Maharaja and is also a bookseller. The publishing house and printing house she created have brought us a lot of benefits."
"Can you ask her to help us recruit some talents from Norn? Or a refugee.
The population of mountain counties is still too small, and the people in Plain County are not willing to go up the mountain. I need enough people to open up land and build infrastructure for me."
"Of course." Halkin immediately patted his chest and promised, "It only takes a few gold pounds, and the magistrates of Norn County will pack up the people and send them over."
For the magistrates, it is normal to take out the crops in the field to sell them.
Feeling Horn's admiring gaze, Halkin immediately raised his chest. "Let's talk about this new city, let's call it Xinlengquan Castle for the time being. I'm wondering who should dominate this matter." Horn stroked the bone porcelain tea cup, "This person needs to have experience in metallurgy and industry and commerce, have Non's connections, be good at recruiting talents, and introduce craftsmen and merchants. It must not only be flexible, but also be reliable. Do you have people you know?"
Experience in metallurgy and industry, Non's connections, introduce talents, be flexible and reliable...
Halkin's heart beats violently like never before: Oh my God, this is me!
No wonder Mian just asked him about these things.
But he still had to be modest and tempted: "You said that recommendations do not avoid relatives. My father Brock is good at metallurgy and is very reliable."
"Brock's mind is stiff, reliable, not flexible enough, and he doesn't understand business."
"Where is Rekto, he is an old monk..."
"He can't even be reliable."
Swallowing a saliva weighing more than a thousand pounds, Halkin stammered, "You, what do you mean?"
"I can't think of anyone except you." Horn looked at him with a smile.
It's an outgoing release!
Halkin didn't expect happiness to come so quickly.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
There is an implicit rule within the Holy Couplet, that is, if the exorcist monk wants to be promoted to the Simen monk, he must first release it.
Especially at the cardinal level, if you want to improve your cardinal, you must have local governance experience and be a former priest.
Even those who have been cardinals, such as Madland, Armand, etc., have to make up for this experience.
Halkin is already a former priest, and his rank is still the best exorcist monk.
He had wanted to let go, and he had moved the hollow soil before, but was snatched away by René's Chika.
If he could participate in the construction, governance and turn this "New Cold Spring Fort" into a new metallurgical center, not only would the monks of Tissmen have, but he would have the qualifications to become a cardinal.
If this good opportunity slips away this time, it will be difficult for nature to tolerate it.
Halkin immediately stood up, and his piousness was beyond words: "I will definitely not let down your trust. I promise you that this new city will not only be built, but will also become your most reliable and pious metallurgical center. Let's eat shit in Lengquan Castle."
"Very good, since that's the case, you can start the preliminary work of establishing the new Lengquan Castle." Horn satisfactorily served Halkin's hangover soup.
Halkin had not recovered from his excitement after taking the slaughter soup: "Now? OK, I'll go back to South Munde County immediately."
"Look, what's the hurry?" Horn blew the water mist rising from the slaughter soup. "There are not enough craftsmen in South Munde County, so you'll go back alone?"
He picked up the top-level file on the pile of files beside him, and Horn handed it over to the stunned Halkin.
"This is the report on the division of the industrial population of North Munde County by Cheka and the local priest, and detailed information.
There are also dwarves, but not detailed, it depends on yourself.
You are the leading figure of the reform dwarves today. You don't need to teach you who are allies and enemies, right?
New Cold Spring Castle will definitely attract a group of middle and lower-level craftsmen, and the elders of the guild will definitely not let them go. You can take advantage of this.
You can transfer local chekas at will, and ask Spitrochu for help if you are in danger. "
Halkin stood dumbly at the table with his mouth half open.
Isn't this clearly asking him to break up with the traditional dwarves?
Encourage the lower-level dwarves and the reform dwarves to fight against the leaders and elders?
If it were before, Halkin would definitely refuse.
But the golden door called "Cardin" is right in front of you. Do you want to refuse?
The last time I missed the opportunity in hollow soil. If I missed this time, would there be a chance next time?
After a while, Halkin raised his head, and the face of the former gambler appeared on his face again: "I apply for the protection of the Shadow Guard."
"Yes." Horn snapped his fingers.
In the shadow of the curtains, Solan appeared out of thin air: "In three days, someone will connect with you."
Halkin is focused.
"I set up the table." Bypassing the table, Horn patted Halkin's shoulder with relief, "You have to sing this show yourself."
