industrial lord

Chapter 225
In September 1028, the Wessen Army arrived near the city of Nuremberg by land, and then boarded a boat and went upstream to return to Wessenburg. The port outside the city was full of people welcoming their relatives.

Frederick stood on the side of the boat with the others, and kept waving to the crowd on the shore.

Suddenly, his face turned black.

Nowadays, the clothes in Wessen state have begun to be suits. After absorbing the traditional dress style, there are decorated suits suitable for young people, but the colors and patterns are relatively simple and lively.

However, among today's crowd, there is such a group of people wearing ancient silk and satin colored clothes.

All the clothes are made of fine silk from the Kingdom of Sardinia. The embroidery is intricate and exquisite. I am afraid that others will not know how many pieces I have worn. The sleeves, collars and fronts of the clothes are exposed layer by layer, and the color of each piece is different. no the same.

The clothes are nothing more than that, each of them is covered with various gold chains around their necks, and their fingers are covered with gold rings.

Frederick thought it was over, Manuel, Ogilvy and the gang were so nervous today, the reputation of Weissenburg University was going to be lost.

He quickly understood what was going on, that the gang had come to meet Monnarz and Fritz, two old colleagues.

Monnarz and Fritz met Frederick after they were discovered by former students of the Royal University in Hanma City. Frederick entertained them with food and drink, and invited them to return to Wessen State together.

It's just that when they got off the boat, they were dazzled by the group of guys who maliciously showed off their wealth.

Monalz asked Ogilvy: "How much money have you cheated from Duke Wesson, can you sleep at night?"

Ogilvy replied with a smile: "This is not a place to talk, let's go, go to my house and talk about it, the house has prepared a potluck."

Monalz and him are old friends, so he said bluntly, "Then I will disturb you for a few days."

"Let's go." Ogilvy said proudly, "The car is over there."

Monnarz and Fritz were stunned when they saw the car, and Fritz asked Ogilvy: "Is this the new magic puppet you made?"

Ogilvy said modestly: "This was invented by the principal and made by that kid Schmidt. I'm just helping out."

At this time, Frederick was not far away with the same expression on his face, meowing. These guys used a 20-horsepower tractor to pull a carriage. This is his special car.

Ah Fu had already been waiting by the side and opened the car door for the master.

Frederick walked into the carriage. The interior space was similar to that of a van, but a bit more spacious than that of a carriage.

"Welcome home!"

Maria was in the carriage, looking at Frederick with a smile.

Frederick sat beside her, hugged her and rubbed her face, Maria's face suddenly turned into a red apple.

"It's disgusting!" Maria was just a child, "Sister Psyche will make a joke."

Psyche sat down opposite them, and said nonchalantly, "You can pretend that I don't exist."

At this time, Ah Fu also came in, and began to report to Frederick the situation in the recent territory.

On the other side, at Ogilvy's home, Monnarz looked at the sumptuous dinner in front of him and couldn't help saying, "This...is too rich!"

Fritz also said: "We are really sorry for the expense."

A whole roasted cow was lying on the dining table, with an apple in its mouth, cherries in its eyes, and a circle of fresh vegetables around it, several of which they had never seen before, so it must not be cheap.

Manuel smiled and said to them: "Don't underestimate Ogilvy, he is the richest among the people we came here from Constantbul, the second richest is BASF, you can't imagine it .”

Monnarz said with a smile: "Master Sage, don't be joking. You are talking about the BASF who stepped on the slime and fell down. How could he be richer than you?"

Fritz also nodded in agreement. Manuel is a powerful necromancer and is now the vice president of the university. How could his annual salary be lower than that of a daredevil.

Ogilvy said to the two of them: "Don't underestimate the vice principal, he and BASF may be the second."

Now I can't get rid of those two people.

"Okay, okay," Diesel said, "Everyone, please sit down, I am the poorest now."

Julius also said: "Yeah, I haven't eaten meat for a few days, and I will starve to death if I don't eat."

After everyone was seated, Ogilvy's wife began to share meals for everyone, and Ogilvy said: "Don't listen to Diesel and Julius, they enjoy the personal protection of His Excellency Richard Nall's personal disciples, we all There is no such treatment.”

Monalz said in surprise: "How did you fool Duke Wesson?"

Fritz also said: "Omet can use the golem puppet to deceive Duke Wesson, what about the others? Teach me."

Everyone present laughed, leaving the two of them inexplicable.

Ogilvy and Monalz have a very good relationship. Monalz is an alchemist who studies steel and has cooperated with him a lot before.

"We all earn money by our own ability." Ogilvy said while eating, "I am the Minister of Industry in the territory. I cooperate with the principal to produce elemental metals, machine tools and calculators. The annual dividends are very high."

"BASF now produces slime glue, and the dividends are almost catching up with me."

"Vice-principal Manuel now sells milk, condensed soup, canned food, etc. The business is not so good."

"Matias and Monofolo are the Minister of Agriculture and the Deputy Minister of Agriculture. One of them sells improved seeds that have been strengthened by magic, and the other breeds livestock to sell seedlings and feed, and they also earn a lot of money."

"Friedrich is now making life-saving medicine, but the investment is very high, so the final profit does not seem to be high."

"Diesel and Julius are working for the army, so I won't say more."

Ogilvy told all the ways to get rich for everyone present, so that both Monnarz and Fritz forgot to eat.

Manuel continued: "We don't talk so much nonsense between us. The principal hopes that you can turn your knowledge into gold coins at Wessenburg University and here in Wessen State like us."

Monnarz thought for a moment and said, "I'm researching steel that won't rust. I have invested a lot, and I don't know when it will be successful."

Ogilvy raised his glass to him and said, "I'm the Minister of Industry, and I'm in charge of steel smelting. I can guarantee that your experimental funds are guaranteed, and if you have results, you can share dividends like us."

Manue also raised his glass and said: "If you are willing to be a professor at Weissenburg University, you can get a house like Ogilvy. If you are the dean of a college with an annual salary of 300 florins, we can give you Your family will pick you up."

Monnarz thought for ten minutes, and finally raised his glass to toast with everyone.

Scholars like them are not gods who do not eat fireworks in the world. Many people study to live a better life.

It's that they went to the east to travel around and came back, but the school was gone, and they had no place to settle down, and it was different who they worked for.

What's more, there are many acquaintances here, Ogilvy is an official here, Diesel and Julius must have the power to handle affairs for the army, and they are easy to handle.

After everyone put down their wine glasses, Fritz laughed at himself: "Oh... I chose the wrong direction at the beginning, otherwise I would have made a lot of money."

"Unlike now, I don't think Duke Wesson will let me make artificial urine to drown the enemy."

His research direction is a little bit biased, and the intermediate products and final products produced by doing things here and there have a smell of urine when dissolved in water, so he is nicknamed "the alchemist of urine".

At this time, Mathias said to him seriously: "Fritz, we talked about your research results with the principal, and I sent someone to Constantbul to find your family and asked for some of the white crystals you left behind." Come back and do experiments according to the principal's conjecture."

"I haven't reported the experimental results yet, but they have met the principal's expectations. According to the principal's habit, I will definitely cooperate with you to build a factory."

"Really?" Fritz asked suspiciously, "What's the use of that thing?"

Mathias replied: "Fertilizer, it's a good fertilizer."

Fritz shook his head and said with a smile: "I heard on the boat that you can strengthen seeds to increase production, so why do you need that little fertilizer?"

"Why not." Mathias became serious, "Humans have to eat, and plants also have to eat. Neither humans nor plants can eat magic elements."

"I'll use your samples as an experiment. The yield of wheat can be increased by more than 20%, the yield of golden beans can be increased by about 10%, and the yield of some vegetables can be increased by almost 30%."

Fritz exclaimed in surprise: "So many!"

His mind was a little messed up. He never thought of using his fruit in planting before, but used it as a poison.

At this time, Ogilvy said to him: "I can arrange a set of alchemy equipment for you, and you can make some more, and immediately give Mathias an experiment when it is done. If it succeeds, you can prepare to build a factory."

Fritz himself had no idea, so he said, "Okay, let me try, can you lend me some money as a start-up fund. But it's already cold now, and we have to wait until next year to plant plants."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Manuel said to him: "You come to our school first, there is an emergency fund in the school, and some can be allocated for you to do experiments."

Mathias went on to say: "Don't worry about planting experiments. You can also grow vegetables here in winter. I will arrange several vegetable greenhouses for you tomorrow. You can go and have a look with me."

Fritz understood Manuel, but did not understand what Mathias was talking about.

"Okay," he finally said, "I'll take a job in the school and get paid first."

Then everyone raised their glasses together.

The conversation that followed was much more relaxed. At this time, someone asked them: "I heard that you were very down and out when you arrived in Hanma City. What's the matter?"

Fritz said depressingly: "Alas, last year Prince Kasimir of the Piast Kingdom lost badly. This year he went to rob the Ante people in the east, and we escaped in a hurry."
