Chapter 528 Come and work for me
The paddle steamer went down the river, and in one day and one night, it came from Weissenburg to Amstel.
Da Franche ran around the port and arranged a boat to Le Havre for Baron Turgot and Guillaume.
In the restaurant on the top floor of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce Hotel, Baron Turgot discovered that after an autumn and winter, there were many more houses in Amstel, and they were gradually recovering from the fire.
The market has also begun to prosper. Many people have built their houses, but they have to purchase all the furniture, decorations, food, clothing, housing and transportation inside.
Some stores have launched tableware sets, kitchen sets, three-piece bed sets, etc. Customers can see which one they want on the billboard outside the door, pay directly after entering the door, take the goods and leave.
The bookstore was also open. Guillaume bought a book called "Principles of Political Rights" written by Archduke Wesson, and sat across the dining table and read it with gusto.
Normally, Guillaume could not afford to stay in such a good hotel, but Da Franche funded his boat ticket from Amstel City back to Barris City, which also included accommodation.
“Huh, Baron Turgot?”
“Ah, Sir Duval.”
Baron Turgot was a little surprised. The last time he passed through the city of Amstel, the two of them had crossed paths due to a small accident. He didn't expect that they would meet again when he went back.
He asked Duval: "Your Excellency, are you going back to the Principality of Wesson?"
Duval replied: "Yes, there are some problems, and I will come back as soon as it is thawed."
Baron Turgot asked politely: "What happened? Can I help?"
Duval smiled and shook his head and said: "No trouble, Your Excellency, this matter I don’t have a clue either.”
"A young man in my manor invented a machine and was going to apply for a patent and open a factory in the Principality of Wesson."
"But a few years ago, someone in the manor rescued a shipwrecked man on the beach. He did a favor, but he ended up hurting the young man and taking the invention away."
"Now we can only go back to Weissenburg City as soon as possible to see if there are any clues. I hope I can get the patent and the factory first.”
Baron Turgot is not surprised by this kind of thing. From time to time, he has heard of painters snatching the paintings of his students and selling them, and students stealing them. Things like publishing the teacher's results.
Duval only wanted to leave a time stamp when he talked about this matter with him, so that if needed in the future, he could prove that he was not trying to seek someone else's patent on a temporary basis.
After chatting for a while, the two went about their own business.
They were talking in Puran, and Guillaume understood it. After Duval left, he asked Baron Turgot in a low voice in Gaulish: "My lord, could he just say Sodi?" Baron, right?"
Baron Turgot thought for a while, nodded and said: "It should be, Duval's hometown is in the Kingdom of England, and Sodia also said that he was washed there at sea. The ranch over there invented a milking machine.”
Sodia showed it to Frederick last year and got great attention. Frederick gave him a large loan. He also wrote to his creditors asking for a stay of debt collection so that he could start his own business without any worries.
As a result, the first thing Sodia did after getting the money was to spend a lot of money on the dancers of the Moulin Rouge. Later, when he came to Weissenburg, he borrowed money from everywhere with Frederick's letter of introduction and drank and drank.
Investors saw that he had not spent any of the first phase of investment on building factories, so subsequent investments stopped. He then targeted fellow villagers. In the Iris Community, not to mention Baron Turgot, even poor students like Guillaume were found.
Guillaume shook his head and said: "It seems that Baron Sodia is in trouble this time. I remember that Archduke Wesson lent him several thousand gold coins."
Baron Turgot sneered and said: "The Archduke Wesson is still the Duke of Lukang. He saved the life of His Majesty Louis and sold the developed farms in the lowland areas to the nobles. No one will do it because of Sodia This prodigal son offended him."
"As long as Duval collects the evidence and gives it to the Duke of Lugang, and the Duke of Lukang sends an agent to prosecute in court, Sodia will definitely lose the case within ten days."
"I heard that Sodia still has a small castle and manor left by his mother. I don't know if the compensation is enough."
As a scholar, he looked down on those who were ignorant and only wanted to eat, drink, have fun, cheat and kidnap. Sodia is a typical example of his fellow nobles. Seeing that such a person is going to be unlucky, I feel very happy.
But Guiyum sighed and said enviously: "It would be great if our prosecution could go to trial so quickly."
He ran so far for this matter For a long time, my heart was no longer about the scholarships that had been deducted, but about seeking justice.
"Alas..." Guiyum sighed again, "Grand Duke Wesson said it well. When we pay taxes to the country, we have made a contract with the country. When we need help, the country will It’s time to help us.”
Baron Turgot ignored his words. He just felt that young people were a little naive. They paid only a few dollars in taxes and how much assistance the nobles paid. In this way, shouldn't the country help the nobles who have more money?
"Guillaume," Baron Turgot started to say another thing, "How about you come and work for me after graduation?"
"Huh?" Guillaume was stunned for a moment. , I didn’t expect that he would recruit me.
As the saying goes, those students who were born in the common people either worked as low-level employees in the government until they retired, or worked as consultants or housekeepers in the homes of nobles.
Baron Turgot saw that Guillaume could run a long circle from the city of Barris to the city of Weissenburg to persuade everyone to collect an indictment, and still come back alive, which shows that his personal ability is very high. Strong.
He pointed to the house outside the glass window and continued: "Have you noticed the tiles used here? They are made of cement, cheap and strong."
"I plan to build a production house after I go back. The tile factory, if you come, I will put you in charge of this factory. In addition to your salary, you will also receive a 20% dividend.”
Although Baron Turgot is serious, the Duke of Wesson will threaten the Kingdom of Gaul in the future. National security, but it does not deny the Wesson Principality's money-making technology, so it decided to open such a factory with low investment and quick results.
Jiyum only thought about it for two seconds before agreeing. Working for someone is not a part-time job.
But he still has a question: "Sir, I won't graduate until this fall."
Baron Turgot said: "No problem, I still need some time to prepare."
With the current slow pace, it is normal for things decided to do at the end of winter to be done in autumn. It's something like a stumbling block, so it's not surprising that it's been delayed for a year.
This matter has been settled verbally. It is binding on both parties, but not much. If you find a better one during the period, you can cancel the agreement, just notify the other party,
