......
Fedt Lie sat on the bedside and carefully studied the newspapers of the past few days.
Because the tractor 4S shop is outside the city, he went out on the bicycle borrowed by his boss without breakfast every day these days. He only came back during dinner time. He only knew that Anna was having a good time, but he didn't know what exactly he was playing.
Although Anna rented a luxurious apartment, she only held tea parties from noon to afternoon every day. The party ended at 4:30 p.m. and went back to No. 233 Shell Street for dinner.
Frederick only found out what happened today when he heard someone ask about his relationship with Mrs. Meyer.
Anna put all her new jewelry into the jewelry box and said proudly: "I am very powerful, right?"
Frederick nodded and said: "It is indeed amazing."
Anna went to bed and sat next to Frederick, took a newspaper that he had read and said while reading: "My father warned us before his death that the Kingdom of England is the country that needs to be wary of the most."
"There is no peaceful place on the mainland now. They are alone overseas, probably holding back their evil thoughts."
"Nowadays, many big nobles go to the International Exposition, leaving their ladies and ladies behind. You can get a lot of information from them. "
Frederick nodded and said: "In the past few years, the royal family of England has been purchasing large quantities of firearms and steam engines, and trying to imitate them themselves. The progress is no slower than yours."
Nowadays, countries that are a little pursuing are trying to imitate Frederick's rise. , imitation steam engines and firearms are one of the focuses.
But Frederick has been blocking the export of machine tools, and has set the price of steam engines so that others can make them rather than buy them, in order to delay the pace of others.
The Osmaga Empire was also among the "others". Anna tried to ask Frederick to relax exports, but Frederick was only willing to increase the number of exported finished products, so he never mentioned it in private again.
Frederick continued: "They seem to have made some achievements in the imitation steamship. Please help me inquire about the export of ship lumber."
Anna nodded.
She added: "I heard that their royal army changed their uniforms very quickly. Could it be that they want to participate in a certain war?"
Frederick's brows furrowed. After a moment, he said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
At this time, there was a noise downstairs, and it soon became quiet.
After a while, Anna's maid came up and reported that two thieves wanted to break into the door and steal something, so they were beaten and thrown into the street.
Anna said: "I heard that many places no longer grow food but raise sheep, and many country people can only go to the city to make a living."
Frederick could only sigh.
In the next few days, the lives of the two of them were still the same as before. Frederick worked in the tractor 4S shop, and Anna's tea party became more and more important as a guest.
On this day, a noble lady who had just returned from the Kingdom of Sardinia came to the tea room. Her best friend was the daughter of the owner of the high-end jewelry store that Anna had emptied. Anna and the other girls and wives listened attentively to her words "Wei Wei". The story of Grand Duke Mori traveling through five cities and performing six miracles.
Anna had previously heard about Frederick performing a miracle to resurrect a couple who had died in love, but this was another matter in the eyes of a political creature like her, so she didn't care.
She had never heard of anything else, and was just as amazed as everyone else.
After the story was told, someone asked Anna: "Mrs. Meyer, have you seen Archduke Wessen in Weissenburg before?"
Anna felt a little wary and replied: " I saw Archduke Wesson on the day the cathedral was topped out.”
She was right in saying that she had been to Weissenburg when the Germaine Cathedral was topped out.
The man said again: "Oh, I thought you were his agent."
Anna thought that someone had indeed asked that, so she said: "That money order is actually It was given to us by the God of Light."
A group of people around looked at her curiously, waiting for the next step. Anna took a sip of tea and said: "That happened when we first arrived in Londinium City."
"That night, when we were going home, the road was dark. There was a robbery in front of us. A gangster snatched an old gentleman's briefcase and ran towards us."
"The gangster saw it. We were in front, holding such long knives and roaring loudly, I got aroused and rushed over. My husband hurriedly hugged me and jumped a few steps away..."
Never had the older girls and younger daughters-in-law around me faced the knife-wielding gangsters in person, following Anna from time to time. The narration mixed with foreign words made me feel nervous.
“My husband tightly grabbed the hair on top of the gangster’s head with his left hand, freed his right hand, raised a fist as big as a hammer, and just punched with all his strength. When he hit fifty or seventy punches, then There was blood spurting out of the gangster's eyes, mouth, nose, and ears."
When everyone finally heard that Anna's husband had beaten the gangster to death, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Anna continued: "The old gentleman thanked us for helping him get back the robbed bag, so he took an envelope out of the bag as a thank you gift, and then hurriedly went to take the boat."
"We When I returned to my residence, I opened the envelope and found the golden money order inside!"
At this time, someone said: "Ah, there was indeed a fleet that night! Because there is a boat that needs to be repaired and it will not set off until the evening."
"But the passengers on those boats are all small businessmen, and they can't get a money order of ten pounds and twenty pounds, but they will definitely not be able to get such a big one. Money order."
Someone else said: "Yes, if you have one hundred thousand pounds, you can definitely get on the same boat as the Prince."
Everyone was talking about it. Someone with so much money must be a famous aristocrat. How could anyone walk alone in a dark alley and be robbed if he was not accompanied by a group of people.
The answer Anna was waiting for appeared at this time: "Ah, could it be that the God of Light saw that Mr. Meyer was fearless in justice, so he exchanged the money order in the envelope for one hundred thousand pounds?"
< br>This is the only reasonable answer that everyone thinks.
Then someone asked: "Mrs. Meyer, what are you going to do with the money?"
Anna replied: "We want to see what business can be done here."< br>
"This money is too big. We want to invest in some properties, sell them after running them, and take more money home."
The local nobles have already noticed that the Meyers come from a small family.
Because real aristocrats ask merchants to bring goods to their door to buy things themselves, unlike Anna who goes to tailor shops and jewelry shops by herself.
Anna knew this, on purpose.
The eldest girls and daughters-in-law present were all from business circles, and they all offered their suggestions.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Anna's maid came to report: "Madam, the master sent someone to send a message. He will bring a guest later and hold a banquet for him."
"The master said, if you ladies and gentlemen have any Sora, I hope they can accept the invitation to the banquet."
Everyone was very interested in Mr. Meyer, so they agreed to stay for the banquet.
Half an hour later, the appearance of the handsome Frederick made all the guests shine.
The guest he brought, Sir John Fitzwilliam, was a typical small landowner, with a chubby figure, a beard, and a hint of cunning in his eyes from time to time.
Frederick whispered a few words in Anna's ear and then left.
Anna had a familiar conversation with Fitzwilliam and asked about the situation.
Fitzwilliam came from the north of Sheffield, more than two hundred kilometers away, and his family had several manors.
He said with some excitement: "I dug coal when I was digging a well. It's very thick, as high as a story!"
The guests don't know about the coal mining industry. I just heard that coal export prices are very high now, and I thought this country bumpkin was going to get rich.
Anna was thinking, but it seems that the Kingdom of England is preparing to grow Wesson's army from the ground?
Frederick came to the kitchen and put the coal sample brought by Fitzwilliam in a saucer and ignited it.
There are only a few indicators to determine the grade of coal, mainly the size of the smoke, whether there is any pungent odor, the proportion of residual ash and how much heat a unit weight of coal can provide.
Frederick can only test the first three items at present, which is enough.
After getting the preliminary results, he murmured to himself: "It's difficult to handle, it's not easy to garrison troops here."
