The next morning, Scrooge had just finished breakfast, and the royal carriage was waiting outside the hotel. It was yesterday's Lawrence Knight who led the way to greet him.

"Mr. Lawrence, has Prince Albert started working so early?" Scrooge has the habit of getting up early, and almost every day he gets up before dawn, so Scrooge's breakfast has correspondingly become very early, at this time, in fact, the sun has just risen and is not a little higher.

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Albert is very diligent, and he often helps Her Majesty the Queen with various affairs every day until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and at about five o'clock in the morning, His Royal Highness the Prince starts working again." Lawrence said with a hint of reverence.

"Is it like this every day?" Scrooge asked as he walked to the carriage.

"Yes, sometimes if there is something important, the light in the window of His Royal Highness will not even go out all night." Lawrence replied, "It is because of the diligence of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince that the United Kingdom is as prosperous as it is today." ”

"Well, that's admirable." Scrooge said as he boarded the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly, and Scrooge remembered something about Prince Albert's life. The uncrowned king of England lived only forty-two years old. This life span is really much shorter than those royals in Europe, and even worse than his long-lived wife, not to mention the entire lifespan, even compared with the sixty-four years of reign of his wife Queen Victoria, it is more than twenty years shorter. Shi Gaozhi unconsciously remembered a passage in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", saying that Sima Yi sent an envoy to see Zhuge Liang, and the envoy learned that no matter how big or small the matter in the Shu Han army, even if it was to beat ten military sticks, "it will all be decided by the light", so he sighed, "It can last so well." As a result, the people of Zhuge Liang were consumed to death in Wuzhang Plain. And those emperors who were too diligent in Chinese history, what Qin Shi Huang, what Zhu Hongwu, and the fourth elder brother Yongzheng who was annoyed by a large number of brain-dead crossing women before Shi Gaozhi's crossing, are not considered to be long-lived.

"Well, in the future, my business empire will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more affairs, I must take this as a warning and train more helpers, the ultimate purpose of making money is not for enjoyment, I don't want to make any 'untimely death' stories like these big names." Well, if you want to talk about it, Prince Albert and Queen Victoria have a total of nine children, and they are too good at it, right? Albert was so fortunate to be busy with government affairs, and at the same time he had to ...... No wonder he is going to die young. Sitting in the carriage, Scrooge began to think crankily.

By this time, the carriage had gradually left the city of London, and the choking black fog around it had gradually faded. After a while, the carriage drove up a high hill. Here the soldiers stopped for a short rest. Scrooge also got out of the carriage and moved around, while turning to look back at London condescendingly. By this time the sun had risen very high, but the city of London was still shrouded in a thick black haze, and even the high spire of London Bridge was completely visible.

"It's a lot of fog in London." Scrooge sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but think of the dark canopy of the city used to hide the undead in a game he had played in his previous life.

"Yes, otherwise, how could London be called the capital of fog? There are the largest factories in the world, and countless steam boilers burn a lot of coal every day, emitting billowing smoke, and the result is this. But the smoke, while uncomfortable, is a guarantee of Britain's prosperity. Lawrence responded.

"It's a little uncomfortable to live in the city. There must be a lot of pneumonia patients in London. Ahem! Scrooge couldn't help but cough as well.

"Of course, a foreigner like you, when you come to London, usually has a cough. Well, someone gave this disease the name 'London cough'. Therefore, most of the wealthy people are willing to live in more remote suburbs unless they have to. Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness Prince Albert also spend most of their lives at Windsor Castle and rarely return to Buckingham Palace in London. ”

"No wonder Queen Victoria ended up living to be over ninety years old. It's no wonder if you stay under the dark canopy of the city of London all day and become a skeleton soldier every minute. Scrooge thought to himself.

"Do you want to put forward the concept of environmental protection? Do you want to get a system for washing and removing smoke and dust? But Scrooge immediately shook his head, shaking the ill-fashioned thought out of his head. Isn't putting forward the concept of environmental protection blocking the train that a lot of tycoons rely on for money? As long as our train continues to move forward, that mantis arm will be the car...... Coming up with an environmental protection system? Who would want to spend money on this in this day and age? Even I don't want to spend money on this in my own factory. So, well, don't die, if you don't die, you won't die! Well, that's it! ”

After a little rest, the carriage came out again. It is less than 40 kilometers from London to Windsor Castle, and if it is in the later life, the car will step on the accelerator and arrive in more than half an hour. But now, in a carriage, Scrooge and the others walked for almost three hours to arrive.

"After the war, at that time, the technology for oil exploration and exploitation was basically mature. Are you thinking about getting gasoline engines, diesel engines, steam turbines, and so on? Well, then there are AC motors, transformers. Then there will be movies, and then a film company will be established, and those stars, from the royal sister to Lori, will have all the unspoken rules. And then ......"

Just when Scrooge was thinking about the ferocity, the tall spire of Windsor Castle appeared in his field of vision.

……

Prince Albert was accompanied by a number of British nobles, the grandfather of the future Churchill Minister, Sir Churchill Sr., and the current Earl of Derby.

"Welcome, Scrooge? Mr. MacDonald. Prince Albert greeted Scrooge and said, "You are unbelievably young. Then she turned her head to the Earl of Derby, and said, "Look, Lord Earl, at the sight of such a vigorous young man, I suddenly feel that I have become an old man." ”

"Then Your Majesty should look at me more, so that you will feel very young." The Earl of Derby replied with a grin.

"Ah, Mr. MacDonald," Prince Albert politely introduced the guests to Scrooge, "this is the Earl of Derby, the present British Minister. He was an excellent speaker and translator. ”

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness! It is a great pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency, and your translation of the Iliad is wonderful. Scrooge bent down and bowed to the two nobles.

There are those who are in high positions who tend not to care about the praise of his power, but rather to hear praise for things that seem to have little to do with him. For example, when Scrooge was in his last life, a certain head of his department relied on constantly boasting that a certain big leader had good calligraphy, helping him find all kinds of opportunities for him to make his words commemorate, and photographing the big leader comfortably, and as a result, he was unusually promoted. Now, this trick seems to be very effective against the Earl of Derby. Hearing this, the wrinkles on Earl Derby's face seemed to stretch one by one.

"Can I buy my translation in the U.S." Said the Earl of Derby.

"Yes, this book is readily available even in the United States. I just bought a set, and sometimes when I'm tired of doing it, I rely on it to relax, well, it's very effective. Scrooge replied.

The so-called "thousands of wears, horses do not wear". Such a high-end sycophant was so pleased that the Earl of Derby was so pleased that he even said, "Scrooge—ah, I can call you that, right?" Well, where do you live now? In a moment, I will have someone send you a set of the Iliad with my signature. ”

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency the Earl." Scrooge said respectfully.

……

After the greetings, it's time to get down to business. Prince Albert spoke first:

"Mr. MacDonald, I have carefully read your "Study of the Causes of Some Infectious Diseases and the Therapeutic Effect of Certain Chemicals on Them". I agree with your analysis of the various shortcomings of the hospital. Some of my friends and I are saddened by the state of hospitals in England and in Europe as a whole, and we hope that together we can build a high-end hospital that avoids this drawback, and can set a standard for other hospitals in the world. But we're not experts in this area. I don't think there's anyone in the world who has studied this more than you, Mr. MacDonald. So, we are desperate for your help. ”

"Your Royal Highness, it is my honor to serve you." "During this time, I will write down some of my thoughts on medical treatment for His Royal Highness's reference." ”

"It's great." Prince Albert said, "I want to thank you on behalf of countless British patients. In addition, as you mentioned in your "The Causes of Some Infectious Diseases and the Therapeutic Effect of Certain Chemicals", new drugs are extremely important in defeating diseases. Now, the drug can only be produced in the United States, which is too far away from Europe, which brings a lot of inconvenience. Isn't it? For the benefit of the UK, and for the benefit of Europe as a whole, Victoria and I would like to be able to obtain the right to use the sulfonamide patent from you at the right price. I want to know what you think about this. ”

Scrooge heightened his vigilance, and he knew that the time had come when it would matter. He steadied himself for a moment, and then said, "Can I first hear what kind of suitable conditions His Excellency the Prince is willing to give?" ”
