industrial lord

Chapter 75 Was Blackmailed
The sky was gloomy, the drizzle fell one after another, and the roar of spring thunder came from time to time among the clouds.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the farmers in the farmland have bright smiles on their faces.

On this day, Manuai and others agreed to have dinner tonight, and at the same time they had something to discuss with Frederick, but before dawn, Manuai took Monofello, Mathias and a dozen scholars and professors to rush coming.

The atmosphere in the living room was extremely dignified. These scholars looked very depressed, and they looked at Frederick cautiously from time to time.

Frederick and Richard Nall looked very serious, and even Psyche was extremely serious.

"This is simply kidnapping and extortion!" Katie roared angrily, "It is shameless for an emperor to do this!!"

Richard Nall said in a nonchalant manner: "There is also the title of Governor of Dacia."

Frederick leaned back on the sofa and sighed deeply.

Many things come so suddenly that people are not prepared at all.

During the civil strife in Constantbul last year, Manuai and the others ran out. Those who lived in the university and the library brought their family members with them, but many people lived outside, and their family members did not follow them.

Like Monofello and Mathias, they lived outside, and at the beginning of the civil strife, they arranged for their families to go to the countryside, where many family members of their colleagues were taken in.

Now that everyone has settled here, they will send someone back to pick up their family members, but they didn't expect a bad news to come last night.

Phocas, the final winner of the civil strife, became the emperor of the East Pulan Empire. The "election" was successful, and the harvest season followed.

A warlord can't do business to make money, but kidnapping and extorting is very familiar.

However, Phocas also knows how to put on face, and besides blackmailing him, he will give you a half-job to make up face.

Frederick never thought that he would be blackmailed more than 1000 kilometers away.

He sighed, and said solemnly: "The most important thing now is to ensure that Phocas will release me after I hand over the Wesson syrup formula, instead of adding various conditions one after another."

Everyone in the living room reacted differently. Monofello and the others were overjoyed, while Richard Nall, Katie, and Tarot, who was preparing to pour tea and water, were taken aback.

Everyone in the Wesson Territory understood what Wesson syrup meant to the territory. Without it, there would be no food unloaded from the pier every day. Without food, more than 6 people would go hungry.

Richard Nall said to Frederick with a sullen face, "You have to think about it."

A sneer appeared on Frederick's face, and Weapon said calmly, "I've thought it through myself."

Then he said to the Juggernaut: "Master, I would like to invite you and Mr. Psyche as my envoys to Constantbul to negotiate with Phocas."

"Now that Archbishop Victor is in the Holy City, you can find him first and let the Church of Light come forward."

"At the same time, the recipe for Wesson's syrup is also given to Archbishop Victor."

Many people know that the Wesson syrup that Wesson leads makes money. Some people thought of selling the formula, but Frederick didn't sell it to make money, so Phokas came up with the idea of ​​the formula, borrowing a lot from Wessenburg University People's families tied people up for blackmail at the opportunity of their own turf.

Frederick decided that, in this case, muddy the water, not only for Phocas but also for the Church of Illuminati.

Now Archbishop Victor and Frederick are in the same group, and Frederick's father will be canonized as a saint in the posthumous ceremonies soon. Under this dual effect, the loss caused by the loss of exclusive maltose formula can be passed through the Church of Light Make it up.

Moreover, with the current productivity, no one can monopolize the entire vast market. Frederick himself can add a little more cost to further filter and purify the existing maltose, and can also use agar and pure natural food coloring to produce soft candy, and even form a brand Effect, let others chase after it.

All things considered, it is very cost-effective to use maltose to save people.

As for the province of Dacia, it is the lower reaches of the Danube Plain and the surrounding mountains. There is an Osmaga Empire separated from the Rhine Union. There are abundant water and grass, cattle and sheep are everywhere. Now Afu is buying sheep there and preparing to open up wasteland. The village gnaws the weeds on the ground.

It's just that the Dacia region has long been substantially independent with the support of the Osmaga Empire, and then the plains were dismembered into individual tribes, and the mountainous and hilly areas were small nobles with weak strength.

Now it is actually controlled by the Osmarga Empire, and the appointment of Frederick as the Governor of Dacia by the East Plain Empire is purely a scam.

From Frederick's point of view, internally, King William might label him as a "foreign foreigner" to find an excuse to deal with it internally. Externally, if the Osmarga Empire sees someone doing trouble in their back garden, they will intercept the traffic to and from Weiwei. Sen Ling's cargo ship is finished.

So he ignored it and tried to hang on until he developed himself.

When the development is over, it's time to pull the list.

Richard Nall asked very seriously: "Did you really decide so?"

Frederick replied very solemnly: "I have decided that the formula of Wesson's syrup is not important compared with everyone's lives."

"Okay." Richard Nall said, "I'll run for you."

At this time, Psyche said to Frederick calmly: "You want something else, I'll see if I can get it back for you."

She can be said to be the person who understands Frederick's thoughts best, and she was not surprised by this decision from the beginning.

Frederick thought for a while and replied, "You know me, and you know Constantbul, so just figure it out."

Previously, after Psyche wandered to Constantbul, he found that people who knew him had either left, or their graves had reached their ankles, so he made up an identity to fish in the university, and he was familiar with it.

Psyche turned his head and said to Manuei after thinking, "Let's move back the books in the library's underground stack, it's too dangerous to put them there."

Manuai, like everyone else, was still immersed in Frederick's righteous deed of sacrificing himself to save others, and it took him a while to react when he heard Psyche's greeting.

"The ones stored in the underground library of the Imperial Library are the crystallization of the millennium civilization of the Pulan Empire!" Manuai said very seriously, "What if I accidentally fall down on the road?"

Psyche replied as a matter of course: "Then take the waterway, all the boxes are sealed with film, and you are not afraid of falling into the water."

Manuai thinks so, but there is still a problem: "The old man sealed the door of the library from the inside, vowing to live and die with the library, we can't open it."

"Hehe..." Psyche sneered, "There is a secret passage leading to the outside. That guy might be enjoying it in some bathhouse now. Don't forget that the library's money bank is also inside."

Manuai was taken aback, and asked uncertainly: "How do you know there is a secret passage there?"

He had heard of the name Psyche before, but when he saw a real person, he thought it was a person with the same name and surname, and his age and appearance did not match. In addition, Psyche did not mix the legend with the real person because he fished every day at school. match.

Now I understand, but I still feel incredible, and I still have the idea that this Psyche is actually the descendant of the legendary Psyche.

Now that Psyche said there was a secret passage, Manuai was dubious.

Psyche pouted, and said: "Who made me, a nerdy girl, always be bullied by others, and the teacher was assigned to do the cleaning work, and I accidentally opened the secret passage when I wiped the wall, and I happened to see that guy in a suit The smell of wine and rose scent came back, making me think it was a thief."

Manuai thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, and heard: "The old man said that he fell down the stairs drunk and broke the bridge of his nose..."

Psyche sneered and said, "I did."

Frederick asked curiously, "Who are you talking about?"

This time it was Manuai's turn to sneer, and he subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and replied, "It's my distant uncle, Celsus, the curator of the Imperial Library. This time, he must be tied back."

Now that Frederick is willing to provide the recipe for Wesson's syrup, and the Juggernaut is on the scene, everyone relaxes and starts talking and laughing.

The corners of Frederick's mouth twitched when he heard this. At the beginning, everyone had to discuss how to rescue the hostages, but now it has progressed to kidnapping people.

"That's the matter," he said, "Let's go after making arrangements."

It's not easy to travel far this year, and you have to make a lot of preparations.

Moreover, Richard Nall is still an important deterrent, and his travels must be kept secret in a short time.

Everyone thanked Frederick. When they left, Frederick called Monofolo to his study and asked him, "I don't have much time recently. What did you say to me the day before yesterday?"

Monofello said a little embarrassedly: "Actually... the few of us want to ask the principal for a position."

As soon as Frederick heard it, he understood that when their family members arrived, they might not be able to support their family at the University of Wessenburg, so they wanted to do another job.

"No problem." He said, "The Executive Yuan will announce a new institutional department plan soon, and you can work in it."

"At that time, there will be departments dedicated to managing planting and animal husbandry, and you and Mathias can go there as leaders."

"There is also the industrial sector, which I intend to let Ogilvy to manage."

"Many students have done a good job as village chiefs in the new village. I encourage more students or professors to take up positions in various departments."

He thought it was something, the expansion and reform of the various departments of the territory had been arranged by the Executive Yuan long ago, and the drafts were changed several times, and now the general direction was barely set.
