Lord of Industrialization

The teachings of the Church of Light believe that the God of Light set rules when he created all things in the world, such as the rising and setting of the sun, the passing of spring and the coming of winter. Therefore, people must live according to the rules in order to live a life that is favored by the God of Light.

The most important rule of life is to work when the sun rises and breathe when the sun sets. The matching time is the meal time. Pay attention to eating one meal at sunrise and another meal at sunset. You can eat some when the sun is at the top and it will be dark. No more eating or drinking.

But except for church members and very devout believers, no one is usually so strict with themselves. Not to mention the wealthy citizens who go to the bar for a drink and the late-night snack stall outside the Weisen factory from time to time. The aristocratic gentlemen do not do this. .

In the traditional aristocratic life, you get up near noon, have your first meal when the sun is at its peak, finish your business and go to tea time at three in the afternoon, start the dinner at nearly six in the evening, have some snacks at the dance at midnight, and two or three in the morning. After ordering some bread, cake and wine, we went to sleep.

So Richard Nall caught a large fish stick in the evening and came to Count Sforza's mansion the next morning, just in time for his first meal.

Count Sforza is one of the popular candidates for the throne. He has been holding banquets and balls every day these days, constantly making new friends and consolidating old friends, and only gets up near noon.

When he heard that Richard Nall was coming with fish, he directly arranged to meet at a private restaurant.

"How has the harvest been these days?" Count Sforza asked while drinking wine.

Richard Nall said proudly: "It's cold in the mountains now and many big fish have gone to the river below to spend the winter. Yesterday I caught one as big as a thigh."

Count Sforza pretended to be surprised and said: "I heard that the fish you brought was only as big as the wrist to the elbow."

Richard Nall said seriously: "I'm not afraid that the fish I brought is too big and you will be too full to eat at the banquet in the evening."

Count Sforza smiled and stroked the gray beard on his chin, pressing it back to avoid touching it when he was waiting to eat.

He thought Richard Nall was just here to reminisce, but he had something to ask for, so he could only take the initiative to say: "I have something to trouble you with."

Richard Nall raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, the sheep at home were taken away by the wind dragon again?"

Count Sforza said with a grimace: "You also know that I have been troubled by those rumors recently."

Richard Nall nodded seriously: "I heard that you have slept with more sheep than Frederick slept with women."

Count Sforza shook his head and said: "That's not it. My son offended Duke Wesson at the hunting contest held on the Grand Duke of Mainz's birthday a few years ago. Someone used this incident to prove that Duke Wesson had turned against me."

Richard Nall understood it as soon as he heard it. Now that Sforza had been promoting Frederick's policy on the train, many people were tempted, so those on the opposite side wanted to draw out the firepower and dig up the old accounts. Foza's son used it as an example of how he competed with Frederick over the ranking of prey during a hunt for the Archduke of Mainz on his 80th birthday.

"This matter," Richard Nall thought for a moment, "I would have forgotten about it even if you didn't tell me. Frederick has never mentioned it at all in the past few years, and he probably forgot about it."

"It's nothing. When he comes after a while, you ask the boy to talk to him for a while, and Frederick will just go through it as a formality."

Count Sforza breathed a sigh of relief. With his assurance, this level was passed.

The servants began to bring the food. The fish brought by Richard Nall had the meat on both sides, removed the bones, spread it with egg liquid, wrapped it in bread crumbs and fried it until golden brown. Then poured some ketchup on top, which is the most popular nowadays. How to eat.

The terrain in the mountains is high and the water temperature is low, so the fish grows slowly, the meat is firm, the fat content is high, there is no earthy smell, and the meat is very delicious.

Richard Nall said while eating: "I'm here today to give you a big gift."

"Oh?" Count Sforza looked at him with interest, "Do you mean you want to come work here?"

The two of them were old acquaintances. Count Sforza had recruited Richard Nare before, but it naturally failed in the end. This did not prevent them from remaining friends.

Now that Richard Nall's reputation is at its peak, Count Sforza naturally knows that it is impossible to recruit him, so he is just joking.

Richard Nall said with a smile: "I now earn more every year than you have gold coins at your disposal."

Count Sforza suddenly felt heartbroken. There was one bad thing about the people of Wessen, that is, they loved to talk about money. Money was so great.

Heartbroken, he still had to ask, "How much salary does Duke Wesson give you now?"

Richard Nall smiled contemptuously and said, "I don't need him to give me money. I earn all my money myself."

"Now I have opened a hammer-forging gym. There are chain stores in many places. You can exercise and learn martial arts. It is full of people."

Count Sforza asked in surprise: "Can you teach so many people?"

Richard Nall replied: "First, my students are taught basic skills, and those with talent and achievements come to me layer by layer."

"Let's not talk about it." He said with a smirk when he saw Count Sforza drinking. "Friedkin is also my friend. I helped get his bottom line. As long as the Helvetic Federation promises not to attack Sardinia. Kingdom, if it does not help other countries attack the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of Sardinia will return Mount Bray to the Helvetia Federation."

"I think this news has some value, so I came to find you."

Richard Nall doesn't care about political matters. He only comes here to applaud the new king at the coronation ceremony and eat and drink at the banquet. However, this does not prevent him from taking the opportunity to make profits for himself and take Friedkin's initiative. He claimed that he found it by himself.

Bray Mountain is the gateway to the south, and the terrain is difficult. Whether it is the Helvetia Federation heading south or the Kingdom of Sardinia heading north, the best passage is in this area. More importantly, there is a gold mine here.

Decades ago, the Kingdom of Sardinia seized the opportunity of the local nobles to offend their own nobles and sent troops to capture this area. Unexpectedly, the gold mine was very small in scale. It was dug out more than ten years ago, and the most valuable part was gone.

Count Sforza paused for a moment, then choked to death.

No matter what, that place is the lost land of the Helvetia Federation. Although the gold mine is gone and the original landowner died of family heirs due to depression, no country will despise the small territory.

He finally took a breath and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. When he saw Richard Nare smiling evilly, he understood immediately.

"What other conditions do they have?"

Count Sforza understood that Richard Naer was just sending a message, but Friedkin did not directly propose it to the nobles who favored the Kingdom of Sardinia and told himself, who favored Duke Wesson, that the meaning behind this was even greater.

In his opinion, Friedkin did this to increase his merits before the election of the king. What they were willing to give was one thing, but what he negotiated for was another.

Richard Nall's role as a messenger is also particularly important. From what he just said, it can be heard that the choice of who to give this credit is in his hands.

Taken together, it can be seen that Duke Wesson and the Kingdom of Sardinia have reached an agreement on the affairs of the Helvetic Federation.

Richard Nall said while eating: "Friedkin didn't mention any additional conditions. You can go and talk to him."

Count Sforza thought for a while, then threw down his knife and fork and said, "I will go into the palace to see His Majesty now. You can eat slowly."

He left immediately after saying that, eating less than half of the fried fish on the plate.
