industrial lord

Chapter 288
"Another strange ceiling."

Frederick lay on the bed staring at the wooden ceiling in a daze.

He recalled what happened last night. First, he invited the team of monster hunters to eat roasted wild boar and drink, inquired about the monsters in Lin Haili and precautions, and finally bragged together until the fragments.

After waking up, he checked it. There was not a penny missing in the money bag. The backpack and sword had not been opened by the bed, and the waistband of his trousers had not been undone.

It was already noon at this time, and Frederick went downstairs to pay the room fee and leave. Unexpectedly, the boss said that those monster hunters not only gave him the money, but also ordered a meal for him.

He felt that this group of people could get along, but they all came from the same place and were bound by blood, so he proposed to follow him to Linhai, but was declined.

However, he also got a piece of information that the villages and towns in Lin Haili will invite monster hunters to settle in, firstly to clean up the surrounding monsters, and secondly to serve as mercenaries.

At this time, lunch was served, and Frederick felt that rice could be stuffed into everything in the Kingdom of Kush when he saw it. He had eaten tomato stuffed with rice before, but now it was chicken belly.

After lunch, he wandered the streets of the town, planning to go to an agency tomorrow to see if there was anyone who wanted a Warcraft Hunter.

He didn't know where the intermediary was, so he asked yesterday's Boss Bu.

Boss Bo pointed to the other side of the street and said, "Just go to the bookstore and look for it. That person often rents books there."

Frederick thanked him for coming to the bookstore later, and the boss was just chasing flies boredly.

It was not that there were no customers in the bookstore. There was a middle-aged man with black curly hair in his 30s who looked hesitantly at the books on the bookshelf behind the counter.

Frederick thought his hairstyle was a little familiar, but he didn't care. He had seen too many foreigners over the years.

It's just that he just walked into the bookstore when the middle-aged man turned his head and was taken aback when he saw him, then tentatively asked in Germanic: "Principal?"

This time Frederick also froze for a moment, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man said: "I am Billa, a lecturer in the Fine Arts Department of Weissenburg University. Do you remember that I applied for a suspension of pay to stay home to suppress the rebellion the year before last, and you signed and agreed."

Frederick scratched his head. It seemed that there was such an incident, but he didn't quite remember it. He asked a few questions about Weissenburg University before confirming the identity of the other party.

In Weissburg University, there were some teachers and students from Constantbul who came from the north coast of the southern continent, but the ratio was not high. Many of them returned after graduation in recent years, and even fewer remained.

Seeing the five feathers on his chest, Frederick asked, "Then you have succeeded in suppressing the rebellion and inheriting the throne?"

Bila shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My father was overthrown. I took my family members who were still alive and some people who were willing to go with me and fled to the forest. I found a place as my new home."

Frederick didn't know what to say for a while. Thinking of him standing here just now, he asked, "Do you want to buy a book?"

Bila replied embarrassingly: "Yeah, I didn't think so before, but now that I'm starting to be a leader, I realize that I don't have enough knowledge."

"There are many things that I thought I understood when I heard them in school, but when I did it myself, I found that I actually knew nothing."

"Now there are a lot of sick people in my place. I want to buy some books and go back to study, but I don't have that much money."

Frederick looked at the books in the bookstore. Most of them were novels promoting Wessen state sold to the Kush Kingdom, and there were also a small number of medical and agricultural technical books in local languages.

He is a local tyrant now, not to mention the money he brought at the beginning and the money he earned from selling salt yesterday, the 400 gold coins in Wanjing City have not been moved, and Madam Sophie sent another three kilograms of gold coins and gold bars before leaving Port Bosse , I don't know how to use this money.

"Boss!" Frederick suddenly slapped the counter, "You sell all the books here to me, how much?"

The bookstore owner was taken aback, and after regaining his senses, he asked, "Are you kidding me?"

Frederick estimated the number of books in the bookstore, put down his backpack, opened it, took out two small gold bars and put them on the table, and asked, "Is this enough?"

The owner of the study was taken aback when he saw the royal seal on the gold bar, and immediately replied: "There are too many, I don't need that much."

Frederick pushed the gold bar forward and said with a smile, "It's okay, you can buy any books that Billa wants from now on."

"Of course, you can also run away with the gold bars."

The owner of the bookstore immediately shook his head, jokingly, those who can take out the gold stamped bars of the royal family are either powerful or vicious people, and patted his chest to promise: "Don't dare, I swear to the flame, I will definitely serve His Majesty Bila with all my heart and responsibilities."

Billa was also frightened at the side, and hurriedly said to Frederick: "Principal, this...how can I have the nerve to ask you to pay so much money?"

Frederick glared at him and said, "You think I bought it for you. I'm going to build the Linhai branch of Weissburg University. I haven't figured out where it will be yet!"

Billa opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while, his eyes were a little moist.

We are all grown-ups, and we all understand that what is said is the same thing, and what is actually the same thing.

Frederick took back a gold bar from the counter and asked the boss to pack all the books, stationery and paper.

"Come on," said Frederick Bilar, "and see if there is anything else to buy."

Billa followed Frederick and asked hesitantly, "Principal, do you really want to build a branch school?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he didn't understand what the principal was doing. He was just an ordinary lecturer in the school, and he hadn't said a word to the principal seriously. It wasn't worth asking the principal to help him like this.

Frederick replied with a smile: "You can't fight wars, and you can't make money. Just treat me as investing in you. If Lin Haili can find the resources that Wessen State needs, the money will be earned back. If you can't find it, then I'm stupid."

Then he complained about Bila: "You really are, why didn't you tell your family when you were so down in the forest?"

"Don't talk about restoring the country or anything, even if you invite a few lecturers from the medical school to teach how to cure diseases, it's okay, why don't you learn slowly by yourself?"

"You don't have any money yet. As a university lecturer, you can't get a loan from the bank? Are you afraid you won't have money if you buy some goods and sell them?"

"It's not like you don't know how much those beautiful birds are selling in Wessen State. You don't even need a loan to catch some and sell them back."

Billa was a little ashamed of being told, and his face was red.

He recalled his recent experience. Since his family was overthrown last year, he fled all the way to Linhai to find a decent place to settle down, but he was a jerk and stiff.

This time, Frederick made a big effort this time. Lin Hai is a huge treasure house. It would be great if he could find useful resources. If not, it would be considered a good deed.

Billa lacked everything from pots and pans to farm implements, let alone weapons.

So Frederick said to him at dinner, "The things here are too expensive. You can buy urgently needed things first. If you have large quantities, you can go to big cities to buy them, which are much cheaper."

At this time, an old man at the same table said: "Yes, yes, yes, my wife's brother is in business in Fustat City, the capital of the kingdom. The boss can send someone and my wife's brother to make sure he won't bully others."

This old man is called Hai Jiaqi, a doctor in the town. Frederick spent money to ask him to take his apprentice to Bila to treat people and find out if there are any medicinal materials around.

Frederick thought for a while, and then said to Bilar: "If you want to buy weapons from Wessen State, I still have some in the warehouse. If you want more, you have to go to Constantbul, and I will write you a note."

Bila was a little embarrassed and said: "A small amount of weapons is enough. If you don't have enough, you can find a way later."

Then he thought for a while and said, "Let me take someone to Fustat City. Those are the principal's money, so others can't trust them."

"I bought the urgent things and sent them back tomorrow. You can go with them."

Frederick thought about it, then nodded in agreement.
