Chapter 658 Next destination
Under the night sky, colorful flames intertwined into beautiful pictures, and the dazzling light made the town beautifully.
Frederick had already created fireworks, but he was not very competitive compared to the performances of the magical cattle and horses, so he could only sell them to the countryside.
A businessman in the town was fooled and bought a few cars and came back, but ended up smashing it into his hand.
Smith, a commissioner, paid for all the fireworks to be set off tonight, made fun of the town, and helped people clean up the warehouse.
The residents of the town simply gathered together to have a dance party to entertain themselves, and the square by the river was very lively. "Everyone hasn't been so happy for a long time." Jedlica took a sip of beer, "The girls are no longer there." Frederick asked curiously, "What girl?" He felt that the ratio of men and women in the square was normal.
Jedlica winked and whispered, "It's the girls who come here to seek life from the officers' guards."
Frederick understood.
Jedlica continued: "Their lives have gone after the depressed town. Someone took them to the city of Wesenburg to make money a while ago."
Frederick frowned.
In his territory, he cracked down on pornography when he was fighting against organized crime and evil. The organized prostitution was eliminated. Now someone has started to do it again?
Frederick asked, "Who took them there?"
Jedlica thought for a while and said, "The young man said he was working for Wesson, and you might know him."
Frederick's brow frowned even more, thinking to himself that someone was doing these things under his own banner?
Jedlica continued: "It seems that it is called...Lu...Luitbod, missing a leg, saying that it is to recruit girls to go to the newly opened weaving factory of Grand Duke Wesen."
Frederick blinked, as if he had indeed built a new carpet-weaving textile factory a while ago. This was what he saw before leaving Wesenburg City. On weekdays, he was managed by a dedicated person and summarized the report only at the end of the year.
He remembered the name Rutbor, the first person to run a labor dispatch company, and talked about it once during his research.
"Rutebold..." Frederick nodded, "He is a very smart man. He has met Grand Duke Weisen, but he didn't expect his business to come here."
"I also know that the wool carpet manufacturer uses the latest jacquard machine, and the salary should be not low."
Many years ago, when Frederick began to enter the textile industry, he caused rumors that he liked older women because of recruiting female workers.
Now the labor dispatch claws are stretched out here, and he must do a good job of publicity to avoid similar things.
Jedlica asked in surprise: "Are you really going to work in the factory?"
Frederick immediately said, "Of course, the factory is short of people now."
Jedlica thought for a while and asked carefully, "You won't lie to me, are you?"
Frederick rolled his eyes at him and said helplessly, "How much is it worth to sell you? Can you get a tractor?"
Jedlica thought so, and he had no reason to lie to himself.
Frederick picked up his glass and took a sip of beer. He felt that recruiting workers from here seemed not good. The population was already small, and there would be no young people if he hired them again. No matter how much investment he invested, there would be no labor to be converted into results. It is not possible to migrate the population here. Not to mention that the labor force of the Duchy of Weisen was insufficient, the foreign population had finally traveled thousands of miles to the prosperous Duchy of Weisen. If we moved to this dilapidated place, wouldn't it be useless?
Frederick kept scratching his head about population problems, but he couldn't hurry.
After the dance party, Frederick returned to the hotel and spread the map on the bed to see where he could cut out the labor force.
Maria sat next to him, thinking he was going to change his next destination, and asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
Frederick found that there was no more labor force, so he no longer thought about this, and replied: "I plan to go to the Beihai and wait for Lilu and his new ship to the southern continent together."
The telegram from the past two days is that the shipyard is working overtime to build two ships, the keels have begun to weld, and personnel and materials are being allocated. It is expected that the North Sea can be tested before the Rhine freezes in winter.
Maria said: "Then is it good for us to go to Le Havre? I heard Prince Dafranche say it is beautiful."
They originally planned to spend a few months on vacation in the Bohemia area, but rumors of hundreds or thousands of tons of gold treasures forced the two to leave early, otherwise it would likely change the political situation. Queen Anna even wrote in the name of Mrs. Meyer to ask if there was really so much gold.
Almost everyone would rather believe that the wealth rumors related to Frederick are there. So much gold is enough to fight back the Osmaga Empire and the Kingdom of Piast, and it is very likely that the Principality of Wesson will be pulled into the water and the war will begin again.
Maria's holiday is still a long time now, and it's actually the same wherever she goes. As long as she can go with Frederick, she can do it.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Frederick thought for a while and said, "Okay, we'll leave in a few days."
The most convenient way to get from here to Le Havre is to go north to the upper reaches of the Elbe River, take a boat downstream to Hanma City, and then change to the sea boat to go west.
But now that the Rhine Alliance army gathered in Hanma City, Rudolph brought his own Wang Family Knights Company to fight with the pirates from the north there.
If Frederick went there, Rudolph would have another accident when fighting with the pirates. Maybe someone really thought it was him, and he was afraid that he would find a purple robe to put on it.
The other way is to go west to the Principality of Wesson, take the Rhine to Amster City, and change to the sea boat to Le Havre City.
Maria saw Frederick studying the route on the map, so she leaned over and pointed a way.
Driving back to the Principality of Wesson, passing through the Principality of Mainz and Coron City, all the way to Amster City, and then taking land to Le Havre City. There are many interesting places on this road.
Frederick said with a bitter face: "This is not possible. It's more than a thousand kilometers, which exceeds the maintenance mileage of the car."
"Not to mention the engine and gear, the tires are blown up and cannot be replaced. We only brought two inner tubes."
The car broke down several times along the way, and some professionals were repairing it quickly, but they didn't know how to do it.
The convoy is now on holiday in another hot spring town. The distance is not very far, so you can send me a repairman over at any time. It will be very troublesome if you run so far beyond expectations.
It would be even more troublesome to take the convoy to Le Havre.
Now the main forces of the Gaul Kingdom's army are in the south and will not be able to return for a while. Frederick and his army appeared in the important northern port city of Le Havre, less than 200 kilometers away from the capital of Barris. The Rhine Alliance army was in the large port city of Hanma, a ten-day voyage, which scared the pigeons of Barris so much that they sang "God of Wesen" with a serious expression.
After listening to Frederick's analysis, Maria had no choice but to go to Le Havre according to the traditional method.
