Chapter 269: Your Majesty, the people from the North are here to build a railway for us

In the capital of Capet, Lilith was taking Nora to trim flowers in the palace garden.

If it weren't for her dignity as a queen, Lilith would just want to throw a set of military boxing and shout "really cool".

The specific government affairs can be directly handed over to Nora, while the general policy direction will be directly handed over to the brother through those bards.

The only thing Lilith needs to be responsible for now is the tax bureau in the North. As long as the tax bureau is firmly in her hands, Lilith can remain standing.

Balance? That's what you need to do when you don't have the strength.

Of course, Lilith can't be completely lazy. Some things still require Lilith's personal approval, such as the cooperation with the North.

At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic, knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, there is news from the North!"

Upon hearing the news from the North, Lilith scolded, "Why are you so flustered? Tell me, what exactly is the news?"

"Your Majesty, the people from the North are coming to build a railway for us."

After that, the guard handed over the specific letter.

When Nora heard this, she frowned before Lilith finished reading the letter. Nora had discussed the railway concept with Lilith before, and all the materials were ready, but the North took advantage of it.

Moreover, I have heard a little about the steel monster Nora in the north, who played an important role in the battle of Golden Ear Plains.

Although the North has begun to manufacture steel monsters for civilian use, once the kingdom's transportation falls into the hands of the North, the North will be able to come and go freely around the royal capital. From the prime minister's point of view, this is completely unacceptable to Nora.

The fact that the capital and the North were working together was enough to deceive the people. The nobles knew that the North was in fact independent. The North was now an independent country squatting in the north of the kingdom. How could it allow other countries to extend their hands to the main transportation routes of its country?

Normally this is true, but this is not normal.

Lilith glanced at it casually and said, "We will fully support the North. We will organize a group of people in the capital who have low salaries or cannot find jobs but are in good health to work for the North."

After hearing this decision, Nora took the letter and read it with a puzzled look on her face.

Something has been wrong since His Majesty returned from the North. Although cooperation with the North is a good thing, it is not necessary to go to this extent.

Will those people from the royal capital who went to work for the North really come back?

Although it did increase employment, these jobs quickly moved outside the capital.

Nora didn't understand, but was shocked.

However, the reasons in the letter were indeed irresistible. The obelisk was a huge project. There were many experts and so-called engineers from the North, as well as some materials that had to be transported from the North to the capital. This was a huge expense, and building a railway could indeed save a lot of money.

Nora really wanted to say that the railway should be built by the royal capital. After all, His Majesty is not without money. However, the railway specifications required by the steel behemoth are completely in the hands of the other party. This railway can only be built by the North.

Finally, Nora let out a long sigh. Compared to Lilith who had already made up her mind to join her brother and had a broad mindset, Nora's situation was much more complicated and painful. After all, the burden of the royal capital and the three realms were all on Nora's shoulders.

"Your Majesty, can we discuss the territories that these railways pass through?"

After hearing what Nora said, Lilith perked up again and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Prime Minister, but remember to decide quickly. The railway will pass by the noble family with the best attitude."

Lilith was already very skilled at fleecing her subordinates. Just looking at the battle at the Golden Ear Plains, no one would doubt the transportation capacity of the steel behemoth. The railway being built in the North was semi-civilian, which meant that the Northern merchants and nobles along the way could use it as long as they paid.

Any smart noble would know how much profit a railway passing through their territory would bring.

As for the control of the kingdom's main transportation routes? Her Majesty the Queen is not worried, so why should the lords and nobles below worry about it? Moreover, if it can really bring huge benefits, even if they are controlled, the nobles will only say that they are willing.

"But Your Majesty, will the North agree to change the route?"

Nora was a little worried that the overbearing North would not change its route at the request of Her Majesty the Queen, but Lilith waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, my Prime Minister, just do it with confidence."

To be honest, looking at Nora's handsome yet melancholy face, Lilith really wanted to tell her that the Governor of the North was one of her own, but she was afraid that Nora would not be able to accept it, so she thought about it and gave up.

Nora nodded and stepped back. She was not surprised by Lilith's confident attitude. Nora even felt that the North's attitude towards Her Majesty the Queen could be described as doting. She always felt that the governor really regarded Her Majesty as his own sister, but Nora quickly shook her head and threw this ridiculous idea out of her mind.

The guard did not leave at this time, but said to Lilith: "Your Majesty, the Governor of the North also sent you a toy."

Lilith nodded and followed the guard to check what good things her brother had sent her.

Although the guard said it was a musical instrument, Lilith always felt that it was not that simple. Sure enough, when Lilith saw the familiar keyboard in front of her, she knew at a glance that it was a communication machine.

It's just that each key on the keyboard produces a musical scale when pressed, so it makes sense to call it a sophisticated musical instrument.

At the same time, the guard quietly handed Lilith a secret letter, which simply told Lilith how to use the communication machine in Chinese characters.

In order to keep it secret, Lind did not use the common language of this world like the communicator in his own mansion, but specially adapted a communicator for Lilith that typed out pinyin, and disguised it with the appearance of a musical instrument.

Soon, Lilith ordered the communication machine to be moved to the office of the Northern Taxation Bureau in the palace. This place was almost Lilith's own small palace, and it was full of her own people.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Lilith used the communicator to simply say hello to her brother, and soon after received a reply from her brother written entirely in pinyin.

"Fuck, you are worthy of being my brother."

Seeing the reply from her brother from the North, Lilith exclaimed that it was awesome, and even jumped off her chair with joy, spinning around in excitement. Although she could only send pinyin, it also meant that Lilith could be more lazy in the future, and could just ask her brother when she was in doubt.

The technology tree of this world is quite weird, especially in the field of communication. It is not uncommon to see people doing research to the spiritual and soul levels like Lucanus but using it for long-distance communication. However, Lilith is not interested in understanding the principle of this communicator, or rather, Lilith no longer cares. What technical issue? If her brother has it, doesn't it mean that she has it too?

In the reply letter, Lind simply told Lilith how to deal with those foreign envoys who were promoting super-level magic.
