Chapter 167 Let’s make money together
The rain that fell most of the night stopped before dawn, washing the sky into blue.
In the north wind, the last batch of migratory birds migrating south would fly through the sky from time to time. A unicorn with pale golden wings would catch up with them and fly ahead, causing shock waves for the migratory birds. Rows formed on both sides.
Dawn seemed to enjoy the feeling of flying, and Frederick felt its pleasure.
The girl sitting in the back was not so relaxed. Although the strong seat belts on the seats were all tightly fastened, she still hugged Frederick's neck nervously.
Even though she was nervous, she kept her eyes open as wide as possible and curiously observed the white crane not far away. Five florins could not be wasted.
On the side of the withered mountain, many people in the hunting camp looked up at the pale golden shadow in the sky. Some were envious, some were curious, and some were looking forward to it.
Five minutes later, Dawn fell to the ground. Someone immediately went over to unbuckle the seat belts on the back seat and get out the passengers whose legs were still weak.
A young man about the same age as Frederick had already put on a thick leather coat, helmet and goggles, handed 5 gold coins to Maria, and then ran to the dawn.
A minute later, Dawn took off and soared into the sky amid cries.
Frederick didn't bother to care whether the passengers were crying or not. Since he had collected the money, he had to fly for as long as possible.
A lot of people cried when they first went up to heaven, but the boys and girls in line were not afraid at all. Some people were bragging triumphantly, as if they didn't even know that the person who just boasted was better than themselves.
Five florins is a huge sum of money to ordinary people, but it is nothing to these young masters and ladies.
At noon, today’s business was over. Frederick took Mingming to the Wesson family camp to eat. Maria carried the money box back to her tent in the camp next door. The three-headed The dog followed behind with a bang.
We had a big meal at dawn today, first a big bucket of barley porridge with eggs, sweet radish and pumpkin in it, and then a big bucket of honey water.
When it had eaten and drank enough, it ran to the thick hay and took a nap.
When Frederick came to Maria's tent, the little girl had already divided the money.
Each passenger had to pay 5 florins of gold coins. These people were all brought by Maria, and she got two florins of them.
The count was correct, and she put all the gold coins into a money box in the tent. There had been more than a hundred florins in the past few days.
This was the first money she had ever earned in her life. She smiled brightly while counting the money, and the three-headed dog lay directly on the gold coins she counted to sleep.
Frederick smiled and asked her: "How do you plan to use the money?"
Maria's face suddenly turned red, she wrinkled her nose and said, "I won't tell you."
Frederick smiled and said: "I suggest you deposit your money in the bank. It is safe and has some interest."
"You can deposit your money in my bank, um, Now the bank has an egg-giving activity. If you deposit all the money, you can get more than two thousand eggs."
Maria said in surprise: "With so many eggs, how long will it take to eat one a day? Huh? The chicken hatched before eating!”
After saying that, the little girl's face turned red again.
Frederick was a little curious as to why she had been blushing so often in the past two days. Naturally, she was not in high spirits. After asking twice without an answer, he stopped asking. "There are other things besides eggs." Frederick said with a smile, "You can also ask for olive oil."
Now Wesson Bank is trying its best to absorb deposits, and the interest rate is not low. There are also various gifts according to the deposit amount, and many citizens have begun to deposit money there.
Maria asked him full of doubts: "Then where did your bank get so much money to buy eggs?"
Frederick replied: "I can lend money to others and charge interest."
"Oh..." Maria asked in confusion, "If someone asks you whether you have borrowed a lot A lot of money, I bought a lot of weapons with you, and I found a lot of people to defeat you. Does that mean I don’t have to pay you back?”
Frederick blinked, this kind of economic theory Very familiar.
At this time, someone called Maria outside the tent. The person who came was Sarah, the youngest daughter of the Archduke of Mainz. She lost the draw at the dance that night, and the first one was pushed out to invite Philip. Terri dancing.
Maria left the tent, and after a while she stuck her head in and asked Frederick: "We are racing this afternoon, will you come too?"
The hunt starts the day after tomorrow, and young people are playing these days. It mainly creates opportunities for the grandsons of the Grand Duke of Bain and the granddaughters of the Grand Duke of Mainz to come into contact, and also gives time for various political creatures to communicate.
Of course Frederick would not go. Let Mingxiao participate in the competition. It would be too bullying, and those young ladies like to tease people too much. Just like the dance that night, he was arrested after just two dances. To make fun of them, they thought they were innocent little boys who didn’t understand anything.
However, Frederick asked Maria: "Are you participating in the race this afternoon?"
Maria said depressedly: "My horse is not running fast."
She is not tall, and like most children, she rides a pony. The horse's short legs cannot run as well as ordinary horses.
The corners of Frederick's mouth curved slightly, and he stood up and said to her: "Let's go to my place. I have something for you."
On the road, Sarah stood in the middle and took Frederick and Mary Ya separated, holding Frederick's arm with one hand, and said to him with a wicked smile: "If the gift you give Maria is not good, I will take her home so that you will never see her again. She."
Maria immediately pulled Sarah's sleeve and said, "Sister Sarah, don't do this. I will be happy with whatever gift Frederick gives me."
Sarah immediately stretched out her other hand and pinched Maria's face, and said angrily: "You haven't even married yet, and you're already going towards him?"
Some things happen between you two. The children all knew about it, but they hadn't mentioned it when the other person was around. Now both of them were in a red face.
Maria wanted to run, but Sarah was faster and immediately grabbed her arm.
“Don’t run away.” Sarah said there, “Frederick, I’m telling you, no matter what happens in the future, you can’t miss out on paying Maria, do you understand?”
She is older than the two of them, knows more things than Maria, and understands better what marriage between nobles is. Her parents' marriage is the product of a union between families, and the couple has enough children. After the children were born, everyone had their own fun.
Frederick was now thinking about how to tell Maria about this, so he kept nodding and dealt with it.
Maria replied in a very low voice: "Frederick won't do it anymore. We have made money together these days, and I have already received more than a hundred gold coins."
Sarah suddenly felt a little stuffed in her heart.
