Chapter 536 There is an untapped gold mine
Frederick had earlier proposed a plan to win over the uninherited children of various families, use them to enrich the civil service system of the Duke of Wesson, and at the same time strengthen the relationship with each family contact.
Therefore, many times the sons and daughters of noble families of the Rhine League went to the Duchy of Wesson to look for opportunities. Some of them became civil servants, some joined the army, and many were engaged in research and education, and some entered industry. system.
Okay now, let’s put aside the Kingdom of Sverrier and so on. Children from dozens of families disappeared quietly not long ago, saying that they went to the south. Many people asked before leaving. My family asked for a large sum of money, saying it was an investment.
This problem is serious. No one knows what they are doing. It is not known what the money is used for. There is no information at all, and they don’t know whether they are dead or alive.
Frederick demanded a strict investigation into the matter, and then a certain Gu knight was put into an airship and sent to Hanma City.
After Belle Burke came to Hanma City, Frederick was executed first and then interrogated.
"Gu...just kill me..."
"If you don't answer honestly, you will die."
"I said I won't Will you answer?”
Belle Burke angrily bit Frederick on the shoulder.
Frederick stretched out his hand and gently scratched the back of her neck, making her body relax suddenly, and then he said: "Tell me more about this matter, what happened to those people, go Where is it?”
“I don’t want to say it now.” Belle Burke got angry, lying on Frederick’s chest and shut her mouth tightly.
Frederick did not impose any further punishment, but just kissed her on the forehead and held her gently.
The relationship between the two of them is a bit awkward.
At first, Belle Burke was just trying to protect herself after being captured. Later, the two cooperated for their own interests, and they developed a bit of friendship.
Later, Belle Burke teased Frederick again when he was just 16 years old, hoping to see him get into the same embarrassing situation as before, but she failed.
In the beginning, there was a physical relationship between the two, but later they fell in love. However, both of them were tough-talking and neither wanted to admit that the other was their lover.
After lunch, Belle Burke explained the ins and outs of this incident in detail in the tea room.
“Maria took the lead in this matter.”
Frederick was startled as soon as Bellebek opened his mouth.
Frederick did not expect that Maria was behind this incident.
Belle Burke continued to talk about the cause of this incident.
......
Time goes back to the day last year when Frederick was arm wrestling with someone on the dried Seal.
...
Frederick gave Maria a piece of land on the hill to the west of University Lake, not far to the south is Weissenburg University.
Maria built a manor there with her own money. In addition to living there, she also used it as a vacation place for her parents and godfather.
Because the exterior walls and roof of this manor building are covered with snow-white paint, people call it Snow White Villa.
On this day, Snow White Villa welcomed an uneasy guest.
Sir Clare finally escaped from Old Louis and helped the "relevant departments" of the Duchy of Wesson draw portraits of spies from the Kingdom of Gaul to be sent to the Kingdom of Tarago, so that he could wait for the steam fishing boat that Frederick promised to send him. Get into the water.
She didn’t expect that Frederick’s fiancée, Miss Eltal, would actually invite her to a tea party.
The garden of the villa is on the edge of a cliff. One side of the pavilion is full of flowers, and the other side is the glistening University Lake.
Most of the guests attending the tea party today are Maria’s best friends in the Principality of Mainz.
Each tea party has a theme. Maria was very interested in life in the south and asked Sir Claire many questions. Sir Clare mentioned food: "Not far to the south of Cyclops Island is the forest sea of the southern continent. There are many delicious fruits there."
“Many fruits mature at different times, and new fruits mature almost every month.”
Someone immediately asked: “Can we eat it in winter?”
< br>Sir Clare replied: "There is no winter there, only the dry season and the rainy season. When it is very cold here, it rains over there."
"When it rains, there are also newly ripe fruits, and there are seeds. The eyes are very similar to human eyeballs, and you can’t sleep after eating them or drinking tea.”
"It is said that there is a red fruit deep in the forest. It is very sweet. If you eat too much and sweat, it will also be red."
She introduced more than a dozen kinds of fruits that are commonly eaten by Level 4, and she could hear the surrounding northern voices. The girls were amazed.
Then Sir Clare said: "I'm not used to the wheat from the north, but the rice from the south is more suitable for me."
At this time, another girl from the north asked: "What's wrong with rice?" Does it grow like wheat, or does it grow on vines like grapes, or does it grow on trees like apples? "
There are many local restaurants in the Principality of Wesson that serve rice? There are a lot of them sold. These rich ladies have eaten them, but they have never seen how they grow.
Sir Clare said: "Rice and wheat grow the same. They are also planted in the ground. When they are ripe, there will be a big bunch on the head."
There are people growing rice in her territory and the surrounding land, so how to grow rice? After telling the story, the northern girls were surprised by the "wheat that grows in the water", and even more surprised that rice can be grown two or three times a year.
Someone sighed: "If you go to the forest to grow wheat in the water, you will make a lot of money."
Sir Clare shook his head after hearing this and said: "It is too dangerous in the forest. It’s easy to get sick and lose one’s life.”
“Many people live in places with river estuaries by the sea, but now there are people who live a good life, and there are large swamps where there are no people. .”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. At this time, the landlord class and the bourgeoisie think together.
A landowner's daughter said: "The swamps can be reclaimed into farmland."
Sir Clare shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. It requires a lot of money and a lot of money." First build a dam to enclose the swamp, and then fill it with soil, which is too much investment.”
Someone once developed a tidal flat on Cyclops Island, and finally calculated that it would take thirty or forty years to cultivate it. of rice to recover the investment.
After hearing this, Maria rolled her eyes and had an idea.
The next day, an article appeared in the gossip section of Wesson Daily, ostensibly just a retelling of the story told by Sir Clare.
However, "Wesson Daily" has now become a political weather vane in the eyes of many people. They analyze it word by word in the hope of finding the next investment outlet.
Some people have interpreted this article and they are concerned that there are many uncultivated swamps on the south coast of the inland sea.
Swamps do not scare Wesson people. Who doesn’t know that Archduke Wesson transformed large tracts of swampland into farmland in the lowlands.
Just at this time, Billa, a former student of Weissenburg University, current vice president of Weissenburg University Linhai Branch, and a certain king of Linhai, was in Weissenburg City, preparing to participate in this year's World Exposition. See Got to this article.
Bila has lived in Linhai for many years and is very familiar with the situation there. He stayed up several nights to write a book introducing the geography, climate, resources, customs and traditions of Linhai.
He thinks he has a keen sense of politics and knows that the principal intends to get involved in Lin Hai, so he opened a branch in Lin Hai two years ago. Now he is going to blow the trumpet.
It is easy to enjoy the shade with a big tree at your back. If the Principality of Weisen has a large number of strongholds on the coast of Linhai, wouldn't he be able to be a very loud talker in Linhai.
So Lin Hai turned into unrefined high-grade gold ore under Billa's writing. It can grow food, fruits, cotton, raise livestock and go fishing. After a few years of hard work, it can become a flowing stream. The land of milk and honey.
This book is not thick. It was printed and published quickly in the printing house of Weissenburg University and sold well.
