Chapter 254 Take a walk in the city
The war did not cause much damage to Majiapu City, and it was Dragaces’s Restoration Army who entered the city to appease the people. The citizens in the city soon Settle down.
Frederick also specially arranged for some handsome and well-spoken Wesson soldiers, some of whom were students in Constantbul before joining the army, and gave them some money to spend in the city. .
Soon, everyone in Majiapu City knew that Wei Senjun was a talented person. He was good-looking, well-spoken, and could speak Pulan with a very authentic Constantbulian accent.
Frederick encouraged the soldiers to learn foreign languages. This time they were going to fight together with Dragaces and the others, so they started by learning Plan language.
In the afternoon, more and more people started to walk on the streets. Places selling bread and other food posted notices stating that prices must remain the same as yesterday within ten days, otherwise a stone would be tied to the ground and sunk into the sea, and two stones would be tied to those who did not sell the goods.
Frederick and Tony were walking on the street. They were relieved to see that the market was relatively stable and there seemed to be no need for a security war.
In the first battle today, Frederick would be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous. He was still a little scared, so he chatted with Tony to relax: “By the way, I heard that you were There's a wedding? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tony's face instantly turned red and he hesitated to make excuses.
Frederick understood at a glance that he must get on the bus first and then pay the ticket.
He sighed: "You were not beaten to death by your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Although the act of making children is open to the public these days, giving birth to a child is a very sacred thing and should not be messed with.
Although Frederick was having a lot of fun in the city of Wien, not a single child was left behind.
“Almost.” Tony said embarrassedly, “Lina’s master is Professor Manuel, and he is very aggressive.”
Frederick’s heart for gossip is raging. After burning up, Manuel's children have also arrived in Wesson. He knows it, but when did this guy show up with a female apprentice?
"Tell me!" He asked curiously, "How did you hook up with Manuel's apprentice?"
Tony said even more embarrassedly: "I have known Lina a long time ago . At that time, I came to join the commander, and when I walked to Ansbach, I ran out of money and had nothing to eat. Lina was a waiter in a tavern at that time, so she secretly gave me some leftovers, so I didn’t have anything to eat. Starved to death. It was she who suggested that I participate in the knight competition. As long as I can register and pass the preliminary election, I will have a place to live and food to eat. "At that time, Lina owed the gang three florins. I took the championship bonus and wanted to help her pay back the money, but who knew that she offended the gang a few nights ago and ran away."
"Two years later, Master Tempsec asked me to go to the dairy. I happened to see Lina at the dairy to help her buy milk, so we got in touch.”
“I heard her say that the gangster asked her to help her the night before the knights meeting. Poison, she refused, and ran out hiding in the carriage."
"That day the carriage stopped at the milk factory in Hausen City. When she came out, she happened to meet Professor Manuel's wife. After hearing their story, the wife took them in to work in the milk factory."
"It didn't take long. Professor Manuel and Master Psyche went to the dairy factory in Hausen City to study disinfection magic. Master Psyche discovered that Lina and her sister had a talent for necromancy, so he asked them to learn from Professor Manuel."
"Later, Professor Manuel discovered that they were indeed very talented and hard-working, so he accepted them as apprentices."
While walking and listening, Frederick felt the presence of Psyche in this matter. The frequency seems too high.
But he didn't delve into it. The old man could just do whatever he wanted.
The two of them soon reached the business district. At this time, someone came from the opposite direction and faced Frederick again. Tony immediately stepped forward, and several guards behind him protected the rear and sides. The visitor was a businessman who went to Weissenburg City to purchase small hardware and sell it everywhere. Frederick had spoken to him a few words when he inspected the hardware market.
He said to Frederick through Tony: "Your Majesty, it's great to see you!"
Frederick looked at him a little anxiously He looked like this, so he said: "I remember you. I talked to you at the hardware market last year and it was even published in the newspaper."
The businessman said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Duke, for remembering me!"
Frederick asked him: "What's the matter with you?"
The businessman replied: "That's right, the port is closed now, our ship can't go to sea, and I don't ask you when the seal will be lifted. , I just want to know if you will ask us... for some sponsorship?"
He said it very euphemistically. If the army takes over a place, it will definitely have to scrape the land. Naturally, they, the foreign businessmen, are the fattest sheep. .
Frederick said disdainfully: "You only have a little money, but you still get your goods from me. Am I a fool if I try to snatch them back? If I have the time, I will directly adjust the ex-factory price for a few ships." Isn’t it easier to sell the goods than to rob you?”
The businessman breathed a sigh of relief. It’s great that people don’t value his money.
Frederick continued: "His Royal Highness Prince Dragaces is responsible for the political affairs this time. He is a poor man. You know what I mean."
The businessman's face suddenly turned pale. , there were beads of sweat on his forehead. Duke Wesson didn’t grab it, but that didn’t mean Duke Dragaces didn’t grab it. He could escape the first grade of junior high, but he couldn’t escape the second grade of junior high.
Frederick went over and gave this guy a kick in the butt, and said angrily: "What are you thinking about? I'll show you a clear path and if you don't follow it, why don't you go back and discuss it with the others!"< br>
He was speechless. No matter when, political investment is the most profitable. Before that, people from Constantbul used vests to give Dragaces some funds. When Dragaces restored these people It must be a big profit.
I didn’t catch up with the timely help. Now is the time to put the icing on the cake. If you don’t seize it, you will have no chance in the future.
Fortunately, some businessmen wanted to understand this, so they collected a large sum of money before dinner and sent it to the castle to be used as military supplies for Dragaces, and Frederick also got a share.
There was no time to hold a banquet now, so Dragaces had a military dinner with them.
Dinner is very simple, a bottle of Happy Water per person, a portion of red tomato beef instant noodles, a bowl of vegetable soup with concentrated soup stock, a can of braised pork, and a braised egg in the can.
Although they ate simply, the merchants felt honored when they saw that the prince was eating the same thing as themselves.
This was Dragaces' stage. Frederick did not join in the fun and took Mary to the best seafood restaurant in the city to enjoy a sumptuous salted fish dinner.
The restaurant owner said to Frederick as if he was dead: "No fishing boats can go out to sea this morning. There are only salted fish in the city."
Frederick had nothing to do, just salted fish.
“You can go to sea the day after tomorrow morning.” Frederick said to the boss, “Go and tell the fishermen to stay away from the fleet.”
The war still has an impact on the city, I don’t want to The only way to fight a public security war is to minimize the negative impact.
