industrial lord

Chapter 675: Nail

There was no wind today, and a column of smoke went almost straight into the sky, which could be seen far away at sea.

"It was a funeral."

"who?"

"It should be yours."

Xisai opened his mouth, and finally found that what Kamala said made sense. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet the ship of the "King of Birds", he would have been dead.

At the same time, Frederick stood on the bow and was about to jump into the sea, and everyone gathered around and watched the fun with laughter.

"I can't accept this!" he shouted to the crowd. "You can't do this!"

Because they were preparing to dock, Frederick asked Kamara to give everyone a lecture on the local customs and practices to avoid any trouble due to local customs.

Kamara said that many local leaders had nicknames, for example, his father was called "Black Iron Rhino" and Cisse's father Mendy was called "Swordfish on the Ground".

So a group of people felt that Grand Duke Wessen should also have a resounding name.

I don't know who came up with the idea and said, the more feathers, the more awesome it is. The more birds there are, the more feathers there are. The Grand Duke is equivalent to half a king, so let's call him the "King of Birds."

Everyone thought it was a good idea and unanimously approved it, so Frederick decided to jump ship.

Someone said to Frederick, "Master, come down. There is a trawl behind the boat. You will be pulled up even if you jump down."

Now that they were near the coast and there were no deep-sea beasts, they lowered fishing nets on the boat to catch fish. If Frederick really wanted to jump into the sea, he would definitely be fished out.

Frederick glared at the man and said, "I'll have the fire department check your factory's fire safety every day when I get back."

There are some industrial and commercial people on board to assess the market. The person who spoke just now was the president of the textile group, who was once a servant of the Wesson family. It was he who was responsible for gathering the weavers back then, which led to the rumor that Frederick liked older women.

He naturally knew whether Frederick was really angry or just pretending to be angry, so he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Our factory has been a model of fire safety for five consecutive years."

Frederick was at a loss. If he wanted to promote various standards, he had to set an example himself. The Wesson family's factories had to take the lead and set an example, so people were not afraid.

"Then you should change your title!" Frederick said, "Otherwise I will lock myself in the cabin and not leave the ship."

Someone asked: "Master, how about changing it to 'The King of Ten Thousand Feathers'?"

Frederick was speechless at this title which was nothing but a new name.

At this time, Camara brought Cisse over and said to Frederick, "My lord, I think this name is good."

"You have to consider that there is almost no education here, and no one can understand the advanced vocabulary."

Frederick thought he had a point.

At the same time, Frederick also noticed something he had not noticed before.

He finally got off the bow because it was time for lunch.

After dinner, he called Kamala to the captain's living room to ask him something.

Frederick asked, "Do you have a school there?"

Kamala shook her head and said, "Of course not. It's always the fathers who teach their sons or adopt their sons."

He guessed what Frederick wanted to do, so he said, "If you want to open a school, there is a way. Some people pay high tuition fees to study. Generally, it is a black rhino skin, a golden tortoise shell, or a sword elephant tusk every year. These are materials obtained from very difficult monsters."

Frederick nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "I just want to open a translation school to facilitate our trade with the locals. What suggestions do you have?"

Kamala said awkwardly: "If it's just a translation school, it may not be attractive. It would be better if it could teach medical skills."

"Doctors have a high status here, as well as people who can deliver babies. Village heads also have to listen carefully to their opinions."

Frederick was in a dilemma. Today's medicine is still at the stage of plant and animal medicine. The medicinal materials in different regions are different, and the doctor has no medicine to prescribe if he changes places.

The Principality of Wessen wants to start with medicine in the south. The only medicine it can offer is allicin, and the rest is the entire medical research system.

On the other hand, the medicinal resources in the south are also a huge treasure trove, and it may be possible to obtain the medicinal materials needed in the north. The Duchy of Weisen played a role in the middle, and took advantage of both sides.

Frederick looked at Kamala deeply and said seriously: "Think carefully about how to do this well."

Kamala agreed immediately, as this was her first important task after getting the golden thigh.

He had heard a lot about the Duchy of Wessen. If he could get things done well, he would be more valued by the Grand Duke of Wessen than offering ten or eight daughters.

Frederick pointed in a direction, arranged for someone to handle it, and no longer bothered with trivial matters.

He returned to his cabin and saw Susan sitting on the bed in her shirt and panties, putting on her stockings.

These stockings are made of spider silk and are quite elastic. They can protect people's legs from being harmed by various blood-sucking insects.

Of course, it has other functions as well.

Frederick closed the door and pounced on it with a "whoosh".

Susan reached out and grabbed Frederick's collar and threw him onto the bed.

"Stop it!" Susan pinched Frederick's face. "We're getting ready to dock. Let's talk about it tonight!"

Ahead is Sharp Point Bay. The place where the funeral is held is not far away. We are expected to arrive in the afternoon and land there.

If we make a fuss now, it won't be over even after dinner time.

Frederick said seriously: "I came to talk to you about serious matters, what are you thinking about?"

Susan didn't believe it, so she meowed softly in his ear and bit his earlobe.

Frederick took a deep breath, picked up the intercom, turned it on and called the cockpit: "How long will it take to land?"

Lulu heard Susan's "meow" on the other end of the intercom and replied, "It is expected to arrive at the port in one hour and twenty-two minutes. You can hurry up."

Frederick turned off the intercom and pouted, "How can it be fast?"

He couldn't hurry, so Susan took the opportunity to put on her dress and ran out of the cabin.

However, Susan failed to escape, as the hatch was sealed by thick ice in the blink of an eye.

Frederick patted the bed and said, "Come here, I have something serious to tell you."

Susan opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of cold salt soda, threw it to him, and sat down in the chair in front of the desk.

She didn't dare to go over easily because she had learned a lesson.

After catching the salty soda, Frederick asked, "Has the Center for Tropical Disease Research made any breakthroughs in treating diseases in the southern continent?"

Susan also started to talk about business: "Recently, I have been focusing on studying seizure disease and have made some breakthroughs."

"Microscopes have shown that tremor is caused by parasites in the blood."

“We tried treating it with several weakened poisons late last year and it worked well.”

Frederick was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the killing effect?"

He had heard of the parasite, which was most prevalent in the southern continent. It was probably related to malaria, and since poison was used to kill the parasites, the side effects were bound to be significant.

Susan said, "I tried several prescriptions. Perhaps because of the parasites in the south, the ice poison from the dark land in the north is very effective. A small dose can produce good results."

"It doesn't do much harm to young people. The only side effect is anemia. Once you're cured, you just need to treat the anemia. But the elderly can't stand it."

"We brought a lot this time, maybe they'll be useful."

Frederick took two sips of salt soda, thought for a while and said, "Let's give it a try with the locals. If it succeeds, we can exchange it for gold. I plan to open some medical schools here."
