Lord of Industrialization

The tailor brought a dark brown suit. Baron Turgot put it on and looked at it in front of the dressing mirror. He thought it was pretty good.

He also brought leather shoes, belts, ties and canes. After putting them on, he looked like a local.

Baron Turgot soon discovered the benefits of this kind of clothes from the Duchy of Wessen. They were easy to wear and easy to take care of. He could save a lot of time on dressing every day.

His servant also changed into new clothes, a black striped suit, and a briefcase to put some things.

In recent years, in order to distinguish the identities of the characters in dramas and operas, servants and attendants all wear striped suits and maid skirts, which has influenced real life.

Baron Turgot called a tricycle to the barbecue restaurant where Dafranche delivered oysters to the proprietress that day, and asked for an "emperor set meal".

This is Fatih's favorite way to eat it. The barbecue is cut from the meat column and mixed with shredded vegetables, placed on the cut dough, and then a spoonful of red tomato sauce is added. A cup of yogurt is also served when eating.

After trying it, Baron Turgot thought the barbecue here was pretty good. No wonder the emperor of the Ghazi Empire liked it.

He looked around the small restaurant. There were not many people now. In addition to his table, there were three young men under 20 years old sitting at the table in the corner. They were all very strong, and their muscles stretched their shirts tight. One of them was particularly tall.

Baron Turgot pricked up his ears to listen to them out of curiosity. The particularly tall young man said to the other two: "You two should work hard when you follow the platoon leader to the new unit. Be smart and don't think you really can't die."

The shortest young man among the three said to him: "Boss, don't worry, we will come back alive."

The other one also made a promise.

Baron Turgot was a little frightened, thinking that he might have eavesdropped on military secrets and would be caught.

But he quickly comforted himself, saying that I just came to eat barbecue, and the secret ran into my ears.

When Baron Turgot finished eating, Olive cut a large plate of barbecue and brought it over, and said a few words in the ear of the big man.

Baron Turgot suddenly felt his eyes darken. It turned out that the big man came to his table.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Turgot?" Spike's authentic old Constantine accent in Pulse surprised Baron Turgot. There were very few nobles in the Kingdom of Gaul who could speak Pulse so well. "Davranche told me before going to Amstel that you wanted to visit my chicken farm."

Baron Turgot couldn't equate the young man in front of him who was more than two meters tall and had muscles stronger than His Majesty Louis's guards with a chicken farmer.

Spike thought Olive had recognized the wrong person. Just as he was about to apologize, Baron Turgot said, "I am Turgot, you must be Spike, I thought you were a knight."

Spike replied, "I served in the army for three years and was discharged two months and fifteen days ago."

"I'm going back to the chicken farm now. Are you free to go with me?"

Baron Turgot was of course free.

He was just about to ask for a car, but Spike said he had one.

"How much is your car?" Baron Turgot felt very fresh sitting in the canvas van. He asked to sit in the passenger seat and watch Spike drive carefully.

Spike said with a smile: "The market price of this car is 200 florins. It can carry people and almost one ton of goods."

"I am a retired soldier. I get a discount when I buy a car. I also got a 5-year interest-free loan. Now I owe money every day when I wake up."

"But I owe a lot of money, and the money for this car is still less."

Baron Turgot took a breath and said in surprise: "So many can buy two first-class war horses in the Kingdom of Gaul. If it is the kind of sturdy draft horses that are used to pull goods, it is enough to buy nearly 100 horses. Is it worth it?"

Spike said: "It's worth it. It's much easier to serve than a horse. You don't have to spend time feeding grass and sleeping. You can use it whenever you want."

"Don't worry about getting sick like a horse. I can fix ordinary minor problems myself."

"The wind magic crystal used in the car can charge itself, saving the money for fodder."

Baron Turgot thought about it and it made sense. He had two horses at home. It cost a lot of money to hire a groom and fodder. Several times he had to go on a long journey suddenly, but the horses were not fed today.

He just heard something that concerned him, so he asked, "Do you owe a lot of money?"

"Yes." Spike nodded, "The chicken farm rents money, hires people, builds chicken coops, buys eggs, buys feed and medicine, hires university professors, finds disinfection companies, and pays taxes. Everything costs money."

Baron Turgot was a little confused. He had seen chickens raised on his own farm. They were just grazing on the grass during the day and rushing home at night. Why were there so many places asking for money?

He asked again: "You borrowed so much money, the interest rate must be high."

"Hahaha!" Spike laughed, "I am a retired soldier. During the Battle of the Trade Route, our platoon captured many nobles alive and won the first-class collective merit and the second-class individual merit. Last winter, I tipped off the commander and won the first-class individual merit. The interest-free loan amount is very high."

"Plus, I am an orphan who came here with the disaster victims, and the loan I applied for is a targeted loan, so the interest-free amount is even higher."

"So the total loan interest rate for my chicken farm is very low, and I almost only have to pay back the principal."

This time, Baron Turgot was even more shocked. It was common for nobles to lend money. He himself had also lent money several times, but he had never heard of interest-free loans.

He couldn't figure out for a while why Grand Duke Wessen wanted to offer such a loan discount. Did he think he had too much money?

Spike didn't understand it either. Anyway, he believed that the commander had his own reasons for doing so. Who could compare with him in terms of making money?

Baron Turgot suddenly thought of the day when Branimir and others lent money to Dafranche. That should also be considered an interest-free loan. Do all the rich people in the Duchy of Wessen like to do this?

Spike's chicken farm is on the south side of the canal. After crossing the bridge on the canal, go south and walk through a large area of ​​farmland to the foot of the mountain.

A large area of ​​land here was also divided into football field-sized plots by Frederick. Like the east side of Wessenburg, it was used to grow vegetables and fruits, mainly for Oak City.

There are many stones in this land at the foot of the mountain, which is not suitable for farming. It is good for building a chicken farm.

Baron Turgot is very interested in such farmland and wants to come and see it when he has time.

A large green wall appeared not far ahead. Spike said, "We are almost there. The thorn wall in front is specially planted to prevent wild animals from stealing chickens in the mountains. It surrounds the chicken farm and is three meters thick."

Baron Turgot saw that the wall was more than 100 meters long and the area inside should be quite large, so he asked, "How many chickens do you raise?"

Spike replied, "About 10,000."

Baron Turgot: "How many?"
