Lord of Industrialization

There are many things in the world that can be done but cannot be said.

The church's doctrine requires priests not to be greedy for pleasure. In fact, it is just talk. Everything they enjoy is "donated" by believers.

However, superficiality still has to be done. The priests will definitely say that they have no money, but the white gloves they "guarantee" do.

Valentine left, and the bond discussed with Frederick that day spread quickly, arousing the interest of countless businessmen.

Laura immediately went to find Frederick to ask about the situation. After leaving, she immediately packed her things and rushed back to the royal capital. At the same time, a more shocking new news came out.

At this time, Fontana's motorcade arrived, bringing stories of various miracles along Frederick's journey.

These stories have been passed down one after another by merchants recently. This time, the witnesses came to complete the story of Frederick's "passing through five cities and performing six miracles" from beginning to end.

There was a radio station in Bern, and the news soon spread to all the major cities in the Kingdom of Sardinia and back to the Rhine League across the White Mountains.

Frederick let them go, having more important things to do at the moment.

"Old Shark" Alepbe has become familiar with Frederick these days, and knows that he doesn't talk about hierarchy so much. He can't help complaining: "Our Free Society is a killer organization. I didn't expect to start a job as an intelligence dealer."

Frederick said while studying the map in the study: "You only make a few bucks as a killer, but you make a lot as a commercial intelligence spy. A piece of information can be sold to several companies."

Aleppe replied: "We are the knife of the big boss, and this cannot be changed."

Frederick just nodded. If he guessed correctly, the big boss behind the Free Society was the royal family of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Otherwise, Laura would not have met him without escort that night.

He studied the map of the northern coastal area to the west of the Kingdom of Sardinia for a long time and made a decision in his mind.

"That's it." He said to Aleppe, "I have determined the place where the shipyard will be built. Please keep these information."

In order to build momentum for the special bond, he spread the word to Laura that he could use part of the investment to build a shipyard in the Kingdom of Sardinia to specialize in the production of ships without sails.

The Principality of Wesson's steam river boats are famous. At the end of last year, a steam fishing boat appeared on the inner sea. It belonged to a knight on the Cyclops Island. A long time ago, the Flying Tulip had docked at many ports in the Kingdom of Sardinia. Two flat boats Steamboats also go to sea from time to time, and people who live by the sea are no stranger to this.

Someone has calculated the transportation cost of this kind of ship. Without being affected by wind direction and speed advantage, the cost is a dimensionality reduction blow to existing maritime transportation.

Someone else has calculated the approximate number of ships currently on the inland sea. Even if only half of the ships are replaced, the shipyard will be a chicken that can lay golden eggs.

Frederick and Lola agreed that this shipyard would give the royal family of the Kingdom of Sardinia 40% of the shares. No cash would be required, only land and the name of the "Royal Family" would be used to invest in the shipyard.

With such a shipyard guaranteed, no one could doubt the ability to repay the special bonds sold by Frederick.

Aleppe quietly put away the information on the table.

He did not ask Frederick which place he had chosen, but reminded: "Sir, the largest shipyard in the Kingdom of Sardinia is in the hands of the Venetians. Now you are taking food from their mouths, so be careful of their drastic actions. "

Frederick smiled and asked: "Are you worried about them assassinating me?"

Aleppe replied: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Although your guarding skills are far superior to mine, assassination is not just about using a knife."

When he first met Frederick ten years ago, he wanted to tease him, but was frightened half to death by the elemental puppet that Psyche gave to Frederick, and he still thought it was a real person until now.

Frederick couldn't help but nodded when he heard what he said: "Indeed, you have to be careful in the future."

Aleppe continued: "So adults should be careful about encountering poisonous flowers when picking flowers."

"They are dangerous. Maybe the lipstick on their lips is deadly poison."

Everyone knew about Frederick's reputation. Aleppo knew that he could not stop this, he could only remind him.

These days, he is busy inquiring about information and thinking about serious things, and has no time to think about these things.

The more interactions we have in the future, the more opportunities there will naturally be.

Aleppe added: "You may have seen in books and plays that some killers and spies have been lurking for more than ten years, or even decades, and no one knows their true identity. This kind of thing exists."

Frederick was a good-natured person who was willing to listen to the opinions and suggestions of professionals.

Today is different from the past. In the past, I didn't touch other people's cakes, and everyone made money by being harmonious, so there was no danger.

It was different now. As soon as Frederick came to the Kingdom of Sardinia this time, the Venetians ravaged the soles of his shoes with their faces.

The two sides have become enemies, and there is no possibility of compromise unless one side surrenders.

Frederick felt that his own life was still important, and he could not act like before this time.

Aleppe finally said: "But don't worry, sir, those businessmen have always bullied the weak and are afraid of the strong. A slap in the face and a little sweetness will make them honest."

Frederick narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If there is any information about middle-level Venetian businessmen, please give me a piece of information."

Aleppe asked with some confusion: "Mid-level businessman?"

He had limited knowledge of the business terminology of the Principality of Wesson and did not know what kind of businessmen the "middle-level" were.

Frederick explained: "It's the kind that has a lot of industry, but is still a long way from the top, and the top can't kill it easily."

He thought for a moment and then added: "It's best to be ambitious."

Aleppo had seen many conspiracies and intrigues, so he asked cautiously, "Are you trying to divide the merchant group in Venice?"

Frederick saw that he reacted quickly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Aleppo, I may have some industries in the Kingdom of Sardinia in the future. How about you help me manage it?"

Aleppo said calmly, "Your Excellency is joking."

Frederick didn't say anything more. Aleppo's future was not in his own hands.

When Aleppo left, Frederick asked him to spread the news that he had decided the address of the shipyard and create some gimmicks.

Frederick also walked out of the study and took a walk in the forest path of the manor, while thinking about the plan to divide the merchants of Venice.

This plan is not just his own business. It requires cooperation from multiple countries to ensure that there are enough tempting baits, and these baits can make the established targets bite without being intercepted, and they cannot be too obvious.

As the sun set in the afternoon, Frederick said to the two maids who had been following him behind him, "Get ready, I'm going to the telegraph station in the city."

One of the maids agreed and left immediately to prepare the carriage.

Frederick had some ideas in his mind and decided to draw a fragrant scallion pancake that could be eaten.
