Chapter 246 Open the market

Industry is the root, and Ictor knows very well that Windsor's development to this point relies on its strong iron-making ability. After solving the most important threat at present, all that is left is for the territory to start transitioning towards an industrial country.

What Iket wants to solve most is nothing more than two major aspects.

One is cotton spinning, and the other is a production line for drilling and making gun barrels.

Relying on the money earned from trading grain and spices, Iket has initially acquired the capital to expand the cotton textile industry on a large scale. This is undoubtedly a huge impact for the empire that has no solution for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

sexual.

The only pity is that the forces within the empire are complicated and it is difficult for Ict to conquer enough colonies by force. Currently, there are only thousands of jackals and rats from other worlds that can be exploited.

If they only use this small population to attack the huge imperial market, I'm afraid it won't be enough for them to fill their teeth.

You must know that those Angsa people rely on the size of the entire India to meet the huge sources of raw materials, which shows the terrifying productivity brought about by industrialization and the horror of the world market.

If the problem of raw materials cannot be solved, the competitiveness of the product will be greatly reduced.

Ictor thought of many ways to do this, such as learning from the Dixies of the Beautiful Country and purchasing black orc slaves on a large scale, or deceiving the surrounding territories into planting cotton on a large scale.

However, the first method requires a large amount of land, and the second method may be manipulated in non-colonial situations.

What's more, industrialization is not just about production. If there is not a large enough market, it will not be able to develop.

This is what troubles Iket the most. The internal market within the empire is too difficult to open. The interest network of all parties affects the whole body. It is difficult to roll out many basic industrial productions.

Iket must find a way to break this situation.

There are two basic strategic directions, and he plans to pursue them simultaneously.

The first is to unite some mages and nobles and let them join in the production method of the new era. Together, they can develop magic technology, engage in basic industrial production, and join forces to keep warm.

The second is to send people to dig tunnels and find shortcuts for the orcs to go south to attack Windsor. This may lead to unexpected anti-colonial orcs.

For this reason, Ictor called Targaryen and asked him to immediately dispatch an elite team to begin underground exploration and draw a map. Whether it was for the sake of colonization or territorial security, Ictor had to find a way to master that road.

As for uniting with surrounding lords to engage in production, Iket immediately thought of his good senior student, Mysore.

If we make money together, we can fight together if something goes wrong.

Iket was determined to trick his kind-hearted senior into the trap.

"Aris, prepare the manpower. Let's go to Rossodore. This time we have to bring the steam engine with us."

"I'll do it right away, Master."

In order to haul a type of magic machine with an astonishing weight in the territory, Ictor specially dispatched an over-the-road carriage reinforced with steel bars, and several cave monitors were responsible for transporting parts.

Based on the friendly relations between the two territories, the road condition from Windsor to Rossodore is obviously much better, but even so, it is difficult to change the reality that the transportation capacity of this bad land is extremely poor.

In fact, the roads underfoot are pretty good within the empire. Generally speaking, except for the main roads ordered by the emperor and the roads built with money from merchants, the traffic conditions in the entire Nansai are quite impressive.

Normally I don't feel it when transporting people and some loose goods, but when it comes to large steel equipment like the Magic Machine, Ickert has to stop and inspect the machine every time he walks.

The cruel reality showed that if he wanted to build a mechanized corps in this desolate world except Windsor, he would not even be able to pick up a screw outside, and the magic replenishment would be even more of a joke.

If you want to support the expansion of industrialized countries, it is inevitable to carry out infrastructure construction during expansion.

It will take at least one or two hundred years of effort.

"Sure enough, different eras have different tactics."

Ictor lamented that the combination of human and animal warfare was indeed very suitable for this barbaric era. It was as strong as the territory. Once out of the supply range of the factory, the only way to fight was with fire sticks.

"It would be better to start industrializing the whole world, and then use a blitzkrieg to pierce through it. It would be much easier to directly take over a relatively developed industrial world."

In this way, traditional nobles who are good at extraordinary combat can be dragged to areas that Ict is familiar with, and then defeat them with their rich experience.

Ictor became more determined to deceive other lords into industrializing together, and ordered the convoy to hurry up.

Due to the heavy equipment being carried, the convoy moved very slowly this time, and it took about five days to arrive at Rossodore.

Compared to the last time he came here, Ictor keenly noticed that the population of this town had increased a lot, and even the number of beggars on the streets had doubled.

This time, Iket did not choose to meet up with Mysore at the old place. In view of the special nature of this transaction, Iket chose to drive directly to the manor where Mysore was located.

Mysore, which had received the letter of visit early, had already taken care of itself and warmly received Iket beside the wine estate.

"My dear fellow student, what brought you here?"

There was no need to go to the Three Treasures Hall without any business. Mysore knew that Iket must have something to discuss when he came, but basic greetings were still unavoidable.

Ickert had another exchange of feelings with his senior. The two enjoyed the wine produced in the manor and had lunch happily before starting to discuss business.

"Senior, there are a lot of people in Rossodor City."

Iket said with an envious look. After hearing this, Mysore rubbed his temples with a headache.

"You seem to be envious, but you are actually mocking me. You should know very well that having more people is not a good thing."

What determines a city's population is not just its attractiveness, but also how many people the local agriculture and economic volume can support to live a stable life there.

Previously, due to Ict's many evil deeds on the banks of the Vanfna River, many of the rear territories were in chaos due to orc attacks, and a large number of refugees fled to the three cities of Donali, Rossodore and Windsor.

Generally speaking, every lord would welcome someone coming, but Mysore was different. His territory had been developed to a great extent. Not to mention that there was no extra land for planting, and the industry and commerce in the city had also become saturated.

At this time, the territorial residents will be very repulsive to outsiders. Mysore has had trouble sleeping for several days in a row dealing with large and small chaotic disputes.

"I even want to dispatch troops and horses immediately to drive out these nasty bastards, because if I don't do that, I will have to use special means to suppress them!"

Although extraordinary beings can bully the mortal class at will, a damaged reputation will also cause resources to flow to other extraordinary beings.

For them, someone has to do the groceries like mining, making money, and raising livestock.

"By the way, junior, I see that your territory is developing very healthily. You have always accepted everything as ordered. I would like to try to get them to come to your place."
