Today's platform is very lively. Many people in Catania have put down their work and come here to watch the zipline that is said to be temporarily used.

On both sides of the river valley, two "?"-like shelves were built with sturdy logs and stones. Below the shelves was a loading and unloading platform, and two steel cables as thick as fingers connected the shelves on both sides.

On the loading and unloading platform, Marquis Maran checked the ropes on several bundled sacks, and then kicked the wooden shelf with the sacks.

Beside him, a few workers hired from Catania were hanging the chain hooks of the shelves in the pulley blocks on the wire ropes, and then rotating the small sleeves on the hooks. After tightening the sleeves, the hooks became a ring.

The foreman in charge of the on-site management platform opened the iron gate to prevent personnel and goods from falling out of the loading and unloading platform, and respectfully said to the Marquis of Malan: "Master, we can start."

Marquis Maran nodded, and then kicked the three hundred kilograms of goods towards the river valley.

There are wheels under the shelf, and the front of the slide is a little sloping. Marquis Malan kicked the goods out without much effort.

As soon as the goods left the loading and unloading platform, the foreman immediately closed the iron gate, and then, like everyone else, watched the goods slid to the other side with a "crashing".

Amid the exclamations of the onlookers, a packhorse with hoisting straps on its body led it over. The packhorse experienced the feeling of a "flying horse in the air" before it understood the situation.

Next came the carriage, which made its way to the opposite bank without incident.

Finally, the zipline was hung on a hanging chair for people to cross the river. Marquis Malan, who had greatly increased his confidence, put aside a giant dragon who had planned to go to the river, then sat on it himself, and fastened it. seat belt.

As soon as the iron gate opened, Antoine II, who had been watching, walked over and kicked the Marquis out.

After seeing the old brother arriving at the river bank safely, Antoine II said to Charles beside him: "Charles, walk with me."

The wind on the platform is still fierce today. Antoine II and Charles are now on the edge of the cliff, watching the carriage and the Marquis of Malan who had just crossed the river coming from the opposite bank through another set of ziplines.

Antoine II looked down at the river valley under his feet and said, "If you throw me down now, Linda will be queen in the afternoon."

Charles gave him a sideways glance. The old king was wrinkled and dressed in thick winter clothes, looking like an old man who was dying.

"Even if I kick you down, you can jump up yourself," he said.

Antoine II smiled and didn't care that his hidden strength was exposed.

He turned his head to look at Charles and asked, "What is your purpose, can you tell me about it?"

Charles said calmly: "Make money."

Antoine II looked at Charles suspiciously and asked, "How much money can this make?"

Charles smiled, the king apparently had never heard of "Golden Bridge Silver Road Iron House Diamond Tunnel".

There is no need to think about digging a tunnel for the time being, unless he can summon ninety-eighty-one Artorias out now, so let's start with building the bridge.

Charles said: "Bischberg is more mountainous, and bridges need to be built in many places. I wonder if Your Majesty will allow me to use the method of issuing bonds to build bridges in other places?"

"To get rich, build roads first. It's good for both of us."

"Except for the Bischberg Kingdom, there are many places where bridges can be built."

Antoine II looked at Charles quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if looking for a loophole in his words.

It's just that he thought about it for a long time and found that there was nothing wrong with Charles' words. This guy was really just trying to make money.

"It's okay to build the bridge," he said.

Charles smiled, it seems that the establishment of a construction company can be put on the agenda.

But this matter can't be rushed. He is not free yet. When the bridge is completed, he will have time to come and talk to everyone.

The chain bridge is not omnipotent, and he doesn't know much about other bridges, so he can only take this opportunity to let everyone brainstorm.

On a deeper level, if the traffic is opened up and the road becomes better, then the motor vehicle will become popular in the future, and then the power system of their Macross Group will be able to sell more.

From another level of consideration, if the enemy from the eastern continent invades in the future, a good road network can make the war a little easier.

The only problem that comes with it is steel production. He has not yet figured out whether the factors restricting steel and coal production are productivity or exploration technology, or both.

Not long after, Antoine II, who confirmed that Charles was not in trouble, returned to the capital on a griffin.

Charles saw that a lot of fresh people had gathered on the platform opposite the river valley, and he realized that a trapeze slipped over.

He left the loading and unloading platform and walked towards the eastern edge of the platform, where he found his cousin Alexei and his secretary Arsu who were looking at the scenery.

The terrain here is relatively high, and you can see the large-scale Jialei Town in the distance. To the east of the town is a fairly wide river, and there are many cargo ships on the river.

Charles walked to Alexei and the others, and said hello, "You two, I'm here to disturb you."

Alexey just smiled when he saw Charles coming, and Arsu, who was standing behind his wheelchair, blushed.

He smiled and said to Charles: "Why don't you go to accompany the king, but come here to blow the cold wind."

Charles also said with a smile: "The king saw that I didn't mean to rebel against him, and he has gone back with peace of mind."

"Besides, your Crown Prince's territory is much larger than that of the king. It is more important to accompany you to please you than to please him."

As a result, what Alexei said next made Charles almost jump in shock.

He said: "I am no longer the prince. Before I came, I submitted a motion to abdicate to the Supreme Council, and the Supreme Council passed it unanimously on the same day."

Charles was stunned for two minutes, and then said to Arsu, who was standing behind Alexei: "Eldest sister, you will lose the title of Crown Princess before you get it. Why don't you kick this guy down the mountain?"

Arsu is a tall beauty with dark brown hair and blue eyes, in her twenties. The first time Charles saw her was when he first came to Abyss City, and saw her perform on the stage at the Royal Theater in Rurik~lightnovelpub.net~ But that was the first time Charles saw Artoria. In these days, his attention was focused on staying Mao, and he didn't pay much attention to the actors on the stage.

After Charles still started Intel, he didn't know about Alexei and Arsu until he chatted with Amiya.

Arsu smiled at Charles' words. She leaned down on Alexei's shoulder and said, "I love him but not his title."

Charles sighed. He had been prepared for this since Alexei's legs were virtually paralyzed. No country could bear an heir to the throne in a wheelchair. There was no Roosevelt in this world.

He complained to Alexei: "At least you have to give Sister Arsu a grand wedding and then abdicate. What girl doesn't want her wedding to be in the spotlight."

Alexey was taken aback for a moment, he gently held Arsu's hand on his shoulder, and said to her apologetically: "Sorry, I was negligent at this time."

Next, Charles ran a dozen meters away due to the smell of the dog food from the two of them, and didn't come back until the smell dissipated.
