original.
Emerson thought Su Lian was just joking, but when he saw the route planning map that had been prepared long ago, as well as the route planning involving streams and mountains, Emerson knew that this seven-year-old boy was serious!
Because it not only involves the shortest route for mountain opening, but also avoids civilian farmland as much as possible, and even notes the mountain conditions that need to be opened!
The original official road from the new mining area to the iron smelting plant was 37 kilometers long, but this railway plan directly shortened it to 27 kilometers!
Could it be that...
Is our little prince really planning to use that strange road with only rails and sleepers to optimize transportation costs?
Emerson really couldn't think of what kind of transportation could travel on such a strange road and be better than the original horse-drawn carriage?
never mind!
Anyway, the materials are ready, the magician has been invited, and there is enough money, so there is no reason not to do it.
but...
Prince Ersha and his family gave this little guy a lot of pocket money. Could it be that he really never spent a penny of it since he was a child?
Emerson looked at the magic ring Su Lian gave him and fell into a little contemplation.
That's for sure.
After all, Su Lian has been studying all these years. He has been asking for pocket money, but he has basically no chance to spend it!
…
night.
Grandpa Suman Esha and his father came home after doing some business and also enjoyed dinner together.
However, Su Lian was picking at his food with an unhappy look on his face. Although he was pretending, his identity as a child would not be noticed as anything unusual.
"Little Su Lian, what's wrong?" The mother was the first to notice something was wrong.
"We didn't arrange etiquette class for you today, did we?" the father asked in confusion. He knew that Su Lian hated etiquette class the most, as he found it tedious and useless.
"Humph, no!" Su Lian put on a childish look.
Then he secretly glanced at Grandpa, with such a thoughtful look...
No way!
Father and grandfather understood instantly!
Mental detection!
Magic power, high level!
"Good boy, you are already a high-level magician!?" the father was surprised.
"Come and let grandpa hug you!" Grandpa also smiled in surprise.
My mother also had a look of surprise on her face, she had no idea what was going on. Only Uncle Ryan, who was sitting at the very end, smiled gently.
"Hmph! No way. You didn't notice that I had made a breakthrough for all this time. I clearly wasn't hiding my aura." Su Lian was familiar with the childish temper.
"Hey, kid, you're still angry." Father Polly couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Haha, it's our fault. We were too busy today and too tired when we got home, so we didn't notice that our little Su Lian has become a powerful high-level magician!" Grandpa first apologized and explained, and finally praised him, showing his experience.
"I don't care, I'm angry!" Su Lian started to throw a tantrum.
But he still walked to his grandfather, and his grandfather hugged him.
"Then what gift does our little Su Lian want as compensation?" Grandpa Ersha quickly understood that the little guy wanted a gift.
Although, the gifts Su Lian has always asked for are very special.
"Hehe, this is what you said, grandpa." Su Lian laughed immediately.
"You kid, what are you trying to cheat your grandfather out of this time? Those iron rods you asked your grandfather to customize for you last time are still piled up in the warehouse and are about to rust." Father Polly couldn't help but be a little angry.
I'm not worried about my children asking for gifts, but I'm afraid that they will ask for something meaningless and useless.
"Hehe, there's no need to be so troublesome this time. All I need is grandpa to sign and stamp it." Su Lian took out a stack of land acquisition approval documents and said with a smile.
"This is..." Grandpa Ersha took a quick look.
You will understand soon!
"Are you going to build a new road between the Laun Mine and the Vogdi Factory? The original road is fine. What do you want to do, little Su Lian?" Grandpa asked puzzled.
Road construction? My father and mother were also confused.
"Hehe, it's a secret! And I've already given the money to Uncle Emerson. Grandpa, you just need to sign. This is the gift I want." Su Lian said mysteriously.
Do you want me to tell you that I'm going to start a transportation revolution!?
…
Ersha looked at Uncle Ryan, who nodded slightly, confirming that little Su Lian was working seriously.
Erza's eyes narrowed immediately.
Since the little guy is serious, let him make a fuss for a while. He really didn't ask us for money to do anything. It seems that he has been busy with his studies these years, and it doesn't seem like he is joking to give him pocket money that is useless.
Although I don't know what to do, if he gets frustrated, I can give his pocket money to Su Lian and then comfort him.
Ersha had already made this decision in his mind.
"Okay, then grandpa will sign it. But you have to complete it in secret and let the grandpas see it as soon as possible." Ersha placed all the land acquisition approval documents on the dining table and took out the pen and seal from the magic ring.
After signing quickly, Su Lian happily put it away and would give it directly to Emerson tomorrow, skipping the tedious submission process in between.
Just when Father Polly was about to ask something, Su Lian spoke first.
"Grandpa, as a prince with a fiefdom, how many private armies can you expand at most during wartime? At the same time, if you conquer a region, they should all be yours, right?" Su Lian asked directly.
The tone was rather bland, which seemed a little awkward coming from the mouth of a seven-year-old.
This tone suddenly did not suit a child's identity, and Grandpa Ersha and Father Poly were both stunned at the same time.
Why is the little guy asking this?
"It can be expanded to a maximum of 50,000. Of course, the conquered areas will be ours. At the same time, after the regional expansion, we will naturally have the right to have more troops, but they must not exceed 50% of the kingdom's army, which is 250,000." Ersha said simply.
"But..." Polly was about to add.
Su Lian spoke first.
"However, our Avisu Kingdom is located in the northwest corner of the continent, and is cut off by mountains in the southeast. The northeastern region, the only exit, is also a harsh environment with ice and snow all year round. The land around us is also the land of other princes or nobles, so there is no opportunity to expand our territory."
"The only feasible way is to start from our only coastline in the west and expand the territory by sea."
"Besides, the rest of the continent is at war all the time. We are in a special geographical location and can sit back and relax. We only need to maintain our own military defense and there is no need for us to get involved."
Su Lian analyzed calmly.
It was only then that Ersha and Poly noticed that after Su Lian replaced the territory map in his hand, it turned out to be a complete map of the continent!
What on earth is this little guy thinking! ?
What are you thinking about?
Of course I want to do big things!
In this world, I have every chance to do whatever I want! But the prerequisite is to have enough funds and resources to support me, so shouldn't I solve the funding problem first?
If possible!
It is entirely possible to conquer the world, as long as we complete the magic heavy industry revolution and build magic weapons heavy industry that belongs to this world, everything is possible!
By then, you will be driving your own "Dalita" and commanding the magic fighters roaring in the sky, the magic steel torrent advancing on the ground, the magic aircraft carrier formation breaking through the waves on the sea, and you will have intercontinental magic weapons in the rear!
Don't get too excited!
…
Su Lian smiled slightly and turned to look at Ersha and Polly.
"Grandpa, father, you want to send me to the Advanced Magic Academy next year after I finish my tutoring courses, right? Before that, I have a request, which is to send me to our royal military academy, Ains, next year." Su Lian said with a smile.
Ersha and Polly, even mother and Uncle Ryan, all looked shocked!
A seven-year-old child, a high-level magician genius, actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to go to the military academy for further studies first! ?
Especially since he just mentioned...
Expand territory?
Right?
