Chapter 369 An unexpected repayment
Is there anything in the world that makes me happier than waking up to someone giving me money?
On the day when Angra drove a tractor to harvest wheat for the first time in Chestnut Village, Altasha came with breakfast and lunch, and was accompanied by an veteran of the Wesson family.
Jesse, the chief commercial officer of the Sea Flame Chamber of Commerce, is the former Secretary of Commerce of Weissenburg, Janis. He was supposed to have a very good future, but he served as a protective umbrella for the underworld in Weissenburg City and was not arrested in the end. Instead of hanging on the city wall, he was sent to Cod Island to dig for magic crystals.
Frederick smiled and said to Altasha: "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for seven years, and you seem to be doing well."
Altasha was now much fatter than before, and her whole body looked like pearls. She said to Frederick: "It has been so many years in a blink of an eye. I knew you would be very powerful before, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
Frederick. Lie looked at Johnny and said calmly: "Johnis, you have done a good job in the past few years."
"I have a big plan next. If you do well, I can give it to your son." A knighthood.”
When Frederick found out that he was protecting the underworld, he angrily deprived him of some of his political rights. Now he does not plan to restore them, but it is not impossible to give the reward to his precious son.
Jennis flushed with excitement and immediately stood up and said, "I am willing to continue to serve you!"
Frederick simply motioned for him to sit down.
Breakfast was served, including slices of bread, jam, fried eggs and the recently popular boiled fish balls in Wesson.
This kind of fish balls is very simple to make. Prepare the materials. Use a meatball clip exported from Wesson to insert the material into the clip. The two semicircles at the top of the clip will press out a fish ball. Good technique. You can also make double-layered meatballs.
While eating, Altasha said: "I came to see you today for something. The Sea Flame Chamber of Commerce was disbanded yesterday."
Lilu asked in surprise: "Sister Altasha, Aren’t you the president? Why did you want to disband? Did you encounter any trouble?”
Altasha smiled mysteriously and replied: "This chamber of commerce is just one of the many leather bag chambers we have. It has been used to collect goods and funds in the tulip market over the years."
"The tulip business is over now. Its mission has been completed. Now the funds are dispersed and transferred through other leather merchants. After completion, it will be disbanded."
"Master Psyche asked you to borrow a sum of money six years ago. She said ten. It will be returned to you ten times within the year, so your portion of about 150,000 gold shields is now in the Sami Union and can be transferred at any time. It is legal money whose source cannot be traced. "
Frederick to International. Thanks to trade efforts, the gold shield is one of the more popular gold coins in the dark northern lands. It has a shield pattern on the front and a gold content of 1.8 grams. When converted into a florin gold coin with a gold content of 3.5 grams, it is equivalent to about 80,000 florins.
He calculated in his mind that excluding his own share, Psyche and the Witch Sisters had made at least half a million florins in the tulip business in the past few years.
It’s just that Frederick didn’t know why Psyche borrowed the money. He didn’t expect the money to arrive at this time. After thinking about it, he said: “Just transfer this money to the Dawn Chamber of Commerce.”
Then he told Shupaiya: "After the money arrives, it will be used together with the existing funds of the chamber of commerce to repay the housing claims. Part of the money will be used as an interest-free loan within five years and a low-interest loan after five years for personal reconstruction."
"Later I will ask people to send drawings, order an additional hundred river boats, and build a large fish canning factory. I will send the personnel."
Then he told Altasha and Janis said: "I plan to carry out further cooperation with the Dark Land, especially the iron ore of the Sami Alliance and the Kingdom of Sverrier, which is our most urgently needed resource."
"In order to improve efficiency , I plan to build a mineral processing plant there.”
"I plan to ask Janis to contact the local noble, Princess Altasha, and I want to seek help from you."
Jenis immediately expressed his loyalty, but Altasha shook his head and said, "Really, I thought we would catch up after not seeing each other for so many years, but unexpectedly it turned into a meeting, and he arranged work for me before breakfast was finished."
Frederick smiled sheepishly and said, "Let's do it. I will return to Weissenburg City the day after tomorrow. The royal family has approved my conditions. The canonization ceremony will be held in Weissenburg City on the spring equinox next year. I have been arranging work these two days. "
Alta. Xia said helplessly: "I'm really convinced by you, and I plan to see if you have practiced the summoning skills I taught you in the past few years."
Frederick scratched his head and sighed. : "I don't have the talent to learn summoning. So far I can't even be considered a beginner."
Altasha made a very proud expression and said: "Humph, it seems you are not as powerful as the rumors say."
The conversation in the restaurant began to shift to Altasha asking Frederick these years How is he doing? All his legends have spread to Green Island.
After breakfast, Frederick still had some work to do.
If he wants to develop maritime power, Weisen State alone is not enough. Seamen's schools can train sailors, but they cannot mass-produce experienced captains. The lowland areas have a long history of shipping and have a large number of maritime talents, but they cannot. miss.
People who make a living at sea have their own circles, and the news spreads quickly, and people from Lilu soon came to sign up.
Lilu took a stack of resumes and said to Frederick: "Big John and Peter are all experienced old captains. Marco, Luther and Frank are very famous captains. There are no three of them who would not dare to work together on the sea." Where she went, Dennis and Aryan were all captains who had become famous in recent years.”
Frederick held her on his lap, resting his chin on her shoulder and reading each chapter carefully. A resume.
“They all look good.” Frederick said after reading it. “They will be your subordinates from now on. You can take them and their crew to the seaman’s school in Weissenburg to learn radio and weapons. Use it, and then take it to the shipyard to learn steamships. ""Everyone who signs up in the future will adopt this model."
At this time, the door opened and Christina came over with tea. , saw the two people hugging each other and immediately closed the door.
Frederick continued indifferently: "The shipyard recently tested a fairly efficient propeller to replace the water wheel. This time, the Flying Tulip was modified and then went on a trial voyage in the inland sea with several other technology verification ships."< br>
“I promised Sir Clare near the city of La on the Cyclops Island in the inner sea to send her a steam fish boat. At the same time, it was also a base for trial voyages.”
At this time, Altasha was coming to find Fred. Lie was stopped by Christina outside the door: "The Duke and the boss are inside."
Altasha smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? I used to brush Frederick's body. I haven't seen anything since he was just starting to grow hair."
Christina's face suddenly turned red and she looked at her in disbelief, wondering if the Duke liked being chubby. of?
Altasha opened the door and walked in. She smiled and said to the two people sitting on the same single sofa: "I didn't bother you to do bad things."
Lilu ran away with a blushing face.
Altasha went to sit down on another sofa, and suddenly asked Frederick with a smirk: "Do you want me to be like her?"
Frederick shook his head. Said: "Then we have to change to an iron sofa."
Codfish Island has a high latitude, a cold climate, and a diet rich in meat and fat. Now it is the largest importer of happy water. How many days will Altasha return? After the new year, I weighed almost 200 pounds.
Frederick saw the wedding ring on her sausage-like finger and asked curiously: "I heard you are married? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't even give you a gift."
Alta A happy smile appeared on Xia's face, and he said with a smile: "That fool is the youngest child in the father's royal guard family. He almost died when he was born. He survived, but he has been very thin since he was a child."
< br>"When he was a child, he was often bullied, and I helped him stand up. That idiot started thinking about me."
"That year, Master Psyche's happy water had just been delivered to me, and he came As a guest, I lied to him and said it was wine from the south. It didn’t taste like alcohol at all at first, and I started to get drunk after drinking three bottles.”
“Okay, that fool drank five and a half bottles and pretended to be drunk. He burped and said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me..."
Frederick laughed at this.
After he finished speaking, Altasha asked him: "Are you planning to create a place of darkness?"
"We all believe in the gods of nature, but you believe in the gods of light. It’s not very friendly.”
Frederick said: “The gold in the hands of the pagans is also gold. You can tell everyone that I only do business and nothing else.”
< br>Altasha nodded. She was also a believer in the Church of Nature, but as a magician, she thought more and was not so firm in her faith. But it was hard to say for those nobles.
"Actually, there is a way to get them to accept you." She said, "As long as you make a great contribution to the church, they will give you the title of Honorary Saint."
Frederick frowned. Pick: "They asked you to help me set up a line?"
Altasha replied: "Yes, they started to bother me last year. At that time, you happened to go to Constantbul and I didn't know. "Pure."
"Now that you are back and the war is over, my ears are buzzing again."
Frederick thought about the chips in his hand and asked. : "Bible printing books and vegetable greenhouses?"
For the church, cheap scriptures have endless appeal and are enough to pay for enough benefits.
The Church of Nature’s territories are all located in cold areas with higher latitudes and have long winters, so the locals can prepare dehydrated vegetables and canned fruits and vegetables.
It’s not that they didn’t buy the materials and went back to build the vegetable greenhouse, but there was a lot of snow there, and the result was that the greenhouse was crushed.
Altasha said: "The goal they gave me is to achieve one of them."
Frederick nodded slightly, thought for a while and then said: "I want both. I can agree.”
"The scriptures need them to provide samples. I have to study them in the greenhouse. I can't just copy them mechanically."
Altasha breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will go back and answer them tomorrow."
