Chapter 254 Going for a walk in the city

The flames of war did not cause much damage to Majiapu City, and it was the Restoration Army of Dragaces who entered the city to appease the people, so the citizens in the city soon settled down.

Frederick also specially arranged for some handsome and talking Wessen soldiers, some of whom were students from 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, good-looking, well-spoken, and able to speak Puran with an authentic Constantbul accent.

Frederick encouraged the soldiers to learn foreign languages, and this time he was going to fight with Dragases and the others, so he started with learning Pulan.

In the afternoon, the number of pedestrians on the street began to increase. Places selling bread and other food posted notices that the price of goods must remain the same as yesterday within ten days, otherwise they would be tied to a stone and sink into the sea, and those who stocked up and did not sell it would be tied to two yuan.

Frederick and Tony were strolling on the street, and they were relieved to see that the market was fairly stable, and it seemed that there was no need to fight a law and order war.

Today's first battle, Frederick would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous, but now he was still a little scared, so he chatted with Tony to relax himself: "By the way, I heard that you had a wedding a few days before departure? Why not?" Tell me sooner?"

Tony's face turned red instantly, and he hesitated to make excuses.

Frederick understood at a glance that he must get on the bus first and then make up for the fare.

He sighed: "You were not beaten to death by your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Although the behavior of making children is open these days, giving birth to children is a very sacred thing, and you can't mess around.

Even though Frederick had a lot of trouble in Wien City, none of the children stayed.

"Nearly." Tony said embarrassedly, "Lena's master is Professor Manuel, and he's going to strike hard."

Frederick's heart of gossip was on fire, and Manuel's children had also arrived in Wessen, and he knew it, but when did this guy have a female apprentice?

"Tell me quickly!" He asked curiously, "How did you hook up with Manuel's apprentice?"

Tony said even more embarrassingly: "I knew Lena a long time ago. At that time, I came to join the commander. When I came to Ansbach, I ran out of money and had nothing to eat. At that time, Lena was a tavern owner. The waiter, she secretly brought me some leftovers, so I didn’t starve to death. At that time, she suggested that I go to the knight competition, as long as I can sign up and pass the primary election, I will have a place to live and something to eat.”

"At that time, Lina owed the gangster 3 florins. I took the championship bonus and wanted to help her pay back the money. Who knew that she offended the gangster a few nights ago and then ran away."

"Two years later, one day, Master Psyche asked me to go to the milk factory to help her buy milk. I happened to see Lena at the milk factory, so we got in touch."

"I heard from her that the gang member asked her to help poison the night before the knight's meeting. She refused and hid her sister in the carriage and ran out."

"That day the carriage stopped at the milk factory in Howson City. When she came out, she happened to meet Professor Manuel's wife. After hearing about their affairs, the wife took them in to work in the milk factory."

"It didn't take long for Professor Manuel and Master Psyche to go to the milk factory in Howson 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 found out that they were indeed talented and hardworking, so he accepted them as apprentices."

Frederick walked and listened, and felt that Psyche appeared too frequently in this matter.

But he didn't delve into it, the old man can do whatever he wants.

The two quickly walked to the business district. At this time, someone came directly towards Frederick from the opposite side. Tony stepped forward immediately, and several guards behind him protected the rear and sides.

The person who came was a businessman who went to Weissburg City to purchase small hardware and sell it everywhere. He had spoken to Frederick a few times when he inspected the hardware market.

He said to Frederick through Tony: "Your Excellency, it's great to see you!"

Seeing his anxious look, Frederick 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 Duke for remembering me!"

Frederick asked him, "What can you do?"

The businessman replied: "That's right. Now that the port is closed, our ships can't go to sea. I don't ask your lord when it will be unsealed. I just want to know if you will ask us for some sponsorship?"

He said it very euphemistically, a large army will definitely scrape the land when occupying a place, and these foreign businessmen are naturally the fattest fat sheep.

Frederick said disdainfully: "You only have a little money, and your goods still come from me. Am I a fool if I snatch them back? If I have the time, I can directly adjust the factory price to sell a few shipments. It's not as good as robbing you." convenient?"

Now the businessman breathed a sigh of relief, it's really great that people look down on his little money.

Frederick continued: "This time the political affairs are in charge of His Royal Highness Prince Dragases, he is a poor man, you know what I mean."

The businessman's face turned pale all of a sudden, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. If Duke Wesson didn't snatch it, it doesn't mean that Duke Dragases wouldn't snatch it.

Frederick went over and gave this guy a kick, and said angrily: "What are you thinking, I will show you a clear way, if you don't go, hurry up and go back and discuss it with other people!"

He was speechless. No matter what time it is, political investment is the most profitable. Before that, people from Constantbul gave Dragaces some funds with vests. When Dragaces is restored, these people will definitely make a lot of money.

The charcoal in the snow did not catch up, now is the time for icing on the cake, if you don't grasp it, there will be no chance in the future.

Fortunately, some of the businessmen wanted to understand this, so they collected a large sum of money and sent it to the castle to be used as military funds for Dragases before the meal, and Frederick also got a share.

There was no time for a banquet now, so Dragaces had a mid-military dinner with them.

Dinner is very simple, each person has a bottle of happy water, a serving of instant noodles with red tomato and beef, a bowl of vegetable soup flushed with condensed soup, a can of stewed meat, and a stewed egg in the can.

Although the meal was simple, the merchants were honored for a while to see the prince eating the same as themselves.

It was Dragases' stage, and Frederick didn't join in the fun, taking Mary to the best seafood restaurant in town to enjoy a sumptuous salted fish meal.

The owner of the restaurant said to Frederick as if death was at home: "No fishing boats can go to sea this morning, and there are only salted fish in the city."

Frederick can't help it either, just salted fish.

"You can go to sea the morning after tomorrow." Frederick said to the boss, "Go and tell the fishermen to stay away from the fleet."

War still has an impact on the city. If you don't want to fight a security war, you have to minimize the negative impact.
