To Four Thousand Years Later

"There is no doubt that the Minister of Agriculture has a problem. After listening to Galeazzo's statement, Leonardo replied without hesitation: "You guessed right, Galeazzo. Galeazzo's eyes lit up immediately: "What's the problem?"

"Because the number of pot machines is obviously wrong. Leonardo explained: "I am not familiar with your arable land area and per capita output, but Earl Emory must be familiar with it. Since he dared to challenge the Teutonic King, he must have already done "Well. Since the Earl said that only ten sets are enough, then I am afraid that only ten sets are really needed... The Minister of Agriculture will bring the extra parts what to do?"

...But the Minister of Agriculture should at least have really built the road. Galeazzo frowned and asked, "How dare he lie to His Majesty?"

"How can he deceive His Majesty?"

Leonardo asked back: "Didn't he use the camel machine?" Speaking of which, he also reacted - if the quantity is purchased less, the problem can be judged from the output; but if the quantity is purchased too much, so what Judgment?

"If I got it right, he should have actually repaired the road. But it has nothing to do with how many machines he actually used, but to give people a sense that he really ordered a big one. Illusion Leonardo took a sip of the fruit wine, and replied in a low voice: "And you said, he started building the road after delivering the goods. Then it is obviously impossible for the Ministry of Industry to deliver the goods directly to the local area...but will temporarily send them to a transit station. This invoice is expensive, and the transit town that survived temporarily must be under the control of the Minister of Agriculture. Otherwise, if it is lost, the Minister of Industry will not be able to bear the responsibility.

You mean...he resold these pot machines? " Galeazzo said in astonishment.

Leonardo nodded: "He will keep at least a part of it, because he must really increase production. Since at least twenty units are enough, just in case, he may keep thirty or forty Zuo Lixia Yes, it may be sold to other merchants at the transfer station

...Of course, there is also the possibility of direct smuggling for export. After all, the boiler machine produced by the Teutonic Ministry of Industry is much more advanced than that of the Frankish Republic.

Leonardo analyzed in a low voice.

The Teutonic pot machine is also one of the by-products based on their excellent steelmaking and forging technology. Teutonic steel is much cheaper than other countries. And the quality is excellent. This allowed domestic craftsmen to build and open the first railway in the Teutonic Kingdom ten years ago. By six years ago, the expansion of the second railway had begun, and the number of steam locomotives had increased to six, and urban and rural freight had revitalized the entire country. There is also the prototype of a gas-powered engine, which seems to be the prototype of an industrial country.

This makes Teutonic's industrial products significantly more advanced and optimized than other countries.

Not only is the body of the Teutonic pot camel machine much smaller than that of other countries, but it also has a variety of interfaces, which can be connected to thirteen kinds of machinery such as waterwheels, water pumps, oil presses, and sawmills. Hearing this, Galeazzo frowned immediately: "This is a capital crime! It's treason!" Needless to say, Leonardo knew who would... Undoubtedly, only the Franks who were significantly behind in civilian industry. Previously busy with foreign wars, then civil wars followed by regime change. Their industrialization process is relatively slow, especially civilian industry. Every year, they import a batch of high-end machines from Teutonic at a high price, which naturally also includes pot camel machines.

That's right, the pot camel machine itself is not a particularly important technology. This kind of machine has been invented as early as two hundred years ago, and the Franks also have their pot camel machine. Moreover, the advantages of the Teutonic pottuo machine come more from their excellent manufacturing process. Even if the Franks got the original machine, they could not easily construct a copy of it. From this point of view, it does not seem to cause too much loss. But therein lies the problem. Selling the machine itself illegally to foreigners should be counted as treason - not to mention that the money he "purchased" was withheld from the Teutonic king.

However, in terms of his status as Minister of Agriculture, he doesn't need to be greedy for such a hand at all.

He has a lot of means to make a profit, so there is no need to be in a hurry.

This kind of behavior made him very dangerous, and at the same time, the profit was not much. When the war started, he had countless ways to steal the funds flowing through his hands silently, without leaving the Duke of Galeazzo. Hearing this, he also reacted: "Is he planning to defect to Frank? Along with the news of the war, "No, the camel machine is a trivial matter.

Leonardo shook his head and refused, and proposed a possibility that was even more difficult for him to accept: "Do you still remember that you said that the Minister of Agriculture has changed his taste? A middle-aged man, it changed so much between 9 laying hands So fast...then something big must have happened to him. But have you heard of this? Galeazzo shook his head. He paused for a moment. Suddenly, he realized what Leonardo wanted to express: "Are you Say... isn't this the Minister of Agriculture? Leonardo nodded: "As you said. Either someone replaced his appearance and identity. Or someone controlled his spirit. Galeazzo suddenly felt a creepy, strong nausea behind him. Feeling hit my heart immediately. It was the smell of conspiracy.

Yes, Leonardo was right.

Compared with this person's identity and purpose, those hundred camel machines are a trivial matter... the highest meeting of Zidun Royal Court. I mingled with them and listened to them for three consecutive days. Some comments were also made on the development plans of other departments. He learned of Teutonic's development plan for the next year!

What... what does he want to do?

"I have to go and tell His Majesty...

Galeazzo resisted the feeling of coldness, stench and nausea in his stomach, tried his best to straighten his waist, and tore off the coat on the hanger: "This is a big deal! I have to go back to the capital of Leon Naduo drank his wine slowly, looked at his back and said softly: "Teuton is not short of the 40,000 pounds, who said that? Don't you understand what this means? Galeazzo clenched his hands in Naruto's coat. He stood motionless, as powerless as a grain of rice blown by a strong wind.

...then I have to go too.

He was silent for a long time before he whispered in a hoarse voice: "As a man... It is up to His Majesty whether you listen or not. It is my responsibility if I don't say it when I know it. Galeazzo heard Leonardo deep behind him. If you sigh deeply.

"Then go, Galeazzo," Leonardo replied in a low voice, "but remember, behind you is the Anglican Church, your teacher is Baimon, and you have a friend. His name is Leon Nada Galeazzo twitched the corner of his mouth and raised it a little. He pondered for a moment, then whispered: "I will be back soon, my friend. Before I leave, I will invite Master Siemens. After you communicate with him. You can leave first.

"Your Majesty...maybe he will leave me with Chunmao. I won't be able to go with you.

"Go slowly. Galeazzo nodded lightly, put on his coat and left without stopping.
