Chapter 1499: The Mystery of the Gold Mine (I.)

Gold mine?!

Lyudmila and Tonya looked at each other and stood up in unison.

"Mira, this matter is terrible, you better write a letter to Roland to report this matter quickly." Tonya said eagerly.

Lyudmila nodded heavily, "I think so too!" ”

She immediately wrote the letter, but the plan could not be changed, and before the letter could be sent, the "Independence" airship that set sail from Parniaborg this morning had already carried Roland and Veronica to the sky over Sweetwater.

Captain Aldrich's skillful manoeuvring of the USS Independence landed slowly on the barnyard in Sweetwater, only ten steps away from the Dawn, which had been moored there earlier. "Independence" is the third ship of the Dawn class airship, and there is also a "Victory" in the same class.

Lyudmila and Tonya led the census team to the square to greet Roland and his party, along with Sand Rose and her disciples, as well as the spiritual warriors of the militia camp in Sweetwater Town, plus the townspeople who came to join in the fun.

When the airship descended the gangway, the first thing that appeared in front of people was a column of samurai in red military uniforms, who walked down the gangway and lined up on both sides like guards, looking at the crowd with vigilance.

"These aren't the guards of Krasbourg, are they?" Tonya asked Lyudmila in a low voice, "Their military uniforms are different from ours, and their skin and hair color are not like those of the Far Easterners. ”

"Kind of like Parnia......" Lyudmila wasn't so sure.

"That's the Redstone Guards of the royal family of ParniaVlad," Sand Rose had more knowledge than the two young girls, but even she thought the battle in front of her was a bit exaggerated, and said half-jokingly, "If I hadn't known in advance that it was the prince of the kingdom of Kolas who was coming to this town, I would have thought it would be the crown prince of Parnia." ”

"Huh? Crown Prince Parnia! Lyudmila's eyes lit up, "You really guessed it right, there is indeed a princess of Parnia among the visitors!" ”

As soon as the words fell, she had already thrown off her long legs and rushed over, hugging a ponytail girl who had just walked down the gangway, and picking up the other party and turning in place several times.

The leaders of the Redstone Guard, Marcus and Tita, saw that their princess was being picked up by a big girl like an eagle catching a chicken, and was pinched in the face in front of the other party, and they immediately became vigilant, and they were about to step forward to stop the rude country girl from doing those things that would damage the princess's grace, but Veronica turned her head and glared at them, signaling not to meddle in their affairs and disturb their sisters' affection.

Roland walked down the ramp after Veronica, followed by a middle-aged man with a slightly haggard complexion. Sand Rose sighed in surprise and said to Tonya, "This is really strange, how can Joseph Davidovich be on the ship of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

After everyone met, they introduced each other, and after some politeness, Sand Rose's questions were relieved. It turned out that after Aurora rescued Joseph from Mochizuki City last night, he flew in the direction of Sweetwater, rested in a nearby village on the way, and continued to hurry this morning, and happened to encounter an airship from the direction of Parnia when he arrived in Sweetwater.

Aurora recognized the number of the "Independence" and leaned over to ask to board the ship in a lazy manner. Captain Aldrich, after consulting Roland, opened the hatch and accepted the lone captain of the air force, only to find that she had a sick man on her back.

Joseph Davidovich endured much in his cell in Mochizuki City, where torture and interrogation almost completely destroyed his health. Fortunately, there was a high-ranking priest on the "Independence", and Roland personally cast spells to treat his injuries and tell him to rest.

"In the future, Mochizuki City will restore order, and it will be hard for you to come out to preside over the overall situation, and you can't carry this burden without a healthy body."

His Royal Highness's warm words of encouragement made Mr. Joseph excited. He has been in officialdom for many years, and has experienced ups and downs several times, of course, he can hear the meaning of Roland's words. If he can leave a good impression on His Royal Highness the Prince, and the remnants of the empire led by Hurd will collapse in the future, the governor of Southern Xinjiang will not dare to think about it, and it should be said that he will be able to take up the post of mayor of Mochizuki City again.

Joseph Davidovich was an ambitious and ambitious man who did not give up his efforts to make a comeback, despite the setbacks in his career. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is just around the corner, and he has no care to recuperate, and he has been energetic to report to His Royal Highness the prince some of his thoughts on the development of the economy of southern Xinjiang over the years.

Roland listened carefully to Joseph's story and had a good impression of this down-and-out bureaucrat in his forties. After receiving a letter from Lyudmila yesterday, he asked the cabinet ministers about Joseph Davidovich's background with the help of the "magic guide intercom", and the Minister of Agriculture, Joddell, wrote a letter to him for this purpose, introducing himself in a short but incisive sentence about the senior who graduated from the Central University of the Yasan Empire:

"An official fan with extraordinary talents."

This sentence sums up the characteristics of Joseph Davidovich and even the first half of his life. This person is gifted and capable, otherwise it would not have been possible to be admitted to the highest university of the empire with the background of a merchant family in the Frontier Region, and it would be impossible to graduate with the best grades. But this man's enthusiasm for the career is no less than his ingenuity, in order to climb to a higher position, he was in the provincial government of the tax department but did not work hard, sparing no effort to curry favor with Archbishop Philip, and finally got what he wanted, was appointed by Archbishop Philip as the mayor of Mochizuki City, during his tenure put forward the "revival of cotton fields" industrial plan, quite appreciated by the archbishop, and promoted him to the governor of the border region, ascended to the high position of the feudal official.

However, Joseph's glorious days came to an end, and he was replaced by Baron Hurd less than a year after he became governor of the territory, and his life went into a low point, and his situation deteriorated until he was imprisoned. If it hadn't been for Aurora's timely rescue, I'm afraid he would have died silently in the prison of Mochizuki City.

"It turns out that Philip's plan for the cotton industry in southern Xinjiang was written by you, although this plan was not implemented in the imperial province era for various reasons, but I must admit that this plan inspired me a lot." Roland first affirmed Joseph's talent, changed his words, and calmly asked a question that made the other party quite embarrassing: "Mr. Joseph, when Archbishop Philip appointed you to preside over the territory and be responsible for the reconstruction of the abandoned cotton fields, it is clear that he valued you, but before you could show your strength and achievements, he withdrew his support for you, and instead supported Wilhelm von Hurd, a greedy and short-sighted nouveau riche, to replace your position, and completely abandoned the blueprint for reviving the cotton fields. Do you know what contributed to such a paradoxical shift in Philip's attitude? ”
