Chapter 390: A New Journey
"I thought you would be against it·····" Roy was taken aback by Han Xing's transformation that could be called a "180-degree turn", and only spoke after a long while.
"Why should I object? You can harvest your own (ài) (qíng), I'm too late to be happy, why oppose it? I'm not the old witch of the Queen Mother, I can't see others well, so I have to beat the mandarin ducks! Han Xing's face suddenly darkened, and he thought, Roy, who do you think of me?
"Well, her name is Agrice! Yes, yes..." Roy was a little embarrassed and a little scared, so he spoke, slurring, which made Han Xing anxious.
"Agris? That's a familiar name! When Han Xing heard this name, he immediately felt a little familiar, and asked subconsciously.
"Well, she's the daughter of the former Duke of Hesse, the sister of Heinrich and Dietrich, we've seen in Marburg before..." Roy snapped a reminder.
"Agris? Do you mean that the princess of the Duchy of Hesse (in Europe, the duke's daughter, can also be called a princess), used to quarrel with you on the walls of Marburg, you called her a stinky girl, and he called you a little (pì)child? Han Xing was immediately happy, at that time, he felt that these two people were very happy to come and go, it was like a sense of déjà vu between the two of them, but he didn't expect that this time he really achieved a positive result!
"You're not going to object, are you, Uncle Hanschel?" Roy asked cautiously.
"Why should I object? It's too late for me to be happy! Seeing Roy's frightened look, like a prisoner waiting for the verdict, Han Xing was immediately happy.
Just kidding, when I created a chance for you to save the beauty as a hero, I just wanted you to take this Miss Elles home. Originally, I didn't have much hope, but I didn't expect you to be so competitive and overfulfilled the task, I was too happy and excited, how could I object?
"Great, thank you, Uncle Hanschel!" Roy excitedly gave Han Xing a bear hug.
"If you can, get married in a few days! Or, at any time, you can do it yourself! Han Xing had no choice but to smile bitterly and pat his back. Until now, he has not fully adapted to the European custom of hugging horizontally and vertically. But he was genuinely happy for Roy!
"By the way, how did this Miss Egrice come to Göttingen? Didn't she go to Saxony with his brother Heinrich? Han Xing suddenly asked.
Roy immediately came to Han Xing's ear and said, and Han Xing knew the cause and effect:
However, it is said that the two siblings inexplicably escaped from Count Na (sāo) and left Marlborough, but Roy quietly let them go. During the hunt, Roy appeared in time again, and Han Xing treated the two of them politely, and gave them a gift at parting, but his image in their eyes changed greatly.
However, the two siblings put away the pistols that Han Xing gave them, so naturally they couldn't let Ditrick take care of them. In addition, due to the fact that their ancestors had some connections with the Udaoneng family (to be exact, their mother was the aunt (nǎi) of Duke Henry Jr.), as soon as they arrived there, they defected to Lady Helena and Duke Henry Jr., which led them to stand in opposition to Ditrick.
Their arrival was a "send-off" for the precarious Lady Helena mother and son, and it was obvious that they were here to find a place to live and to seek support to regain the Duchy of Hesse, which made the two sides hit it off. Is it a pity that Ditrick is so easy to deal with? With a little tricking, they suppressed their brother and sister.
Because of this, Miss Agrice, who was depressed in her heart, went out to play, but she happened to meet Roy, and the two had a good impression of each other before, and this encounter, coupled with a period of feeling (qíng) fermentation, suddenly became out of control.
However, the brother and sister appeared in Göttingen for another reason - Dietrich died! That's right, Dietrich is dead! How did he die?
Remember the knight who fell off his horse, came in vertically, and went out sideways at the jousting tournament? That's right, that's Dietrich!
To be honest, Han Xing really didn't recognize him, after all, at the tournament, all the knights were wearing thick armor, and at that time, he just regarded this "crappy knight" who fell off his horse as a laughing stock! After all, in the nearly 10,000 carabine competitions in the Mainz tournament, Dietrich is definitely not a conspicuous figure. In the auditions, there are hundreds of matches being played at the same time, otherwise tens of thousands of carabine competitions will not be compared for a year and a half? What's more, Han Xing was also fighting in the arena at that time?
said that the newly promoted Duke of Hesse, in order to show his knightly demeanor, did not listen to the advice of the courtiers and had to play in person. But with his sick seedling physique that is wheezing after two steps and is as thin as a hemp pole, how can he eat and carry more than a dozen pounds of armor (yes, he is already wearing relatively light chain mail)? As a result, he had just been helped onto his horse, and he fell off his horse without even touching the shadow of the enemy. It is estimated that he is also (tǐng) 懵 (bī), "Oh, I'll go, brother, I haven't touched you yet, why are you lying on the ground?" Are you trying to blackmail me for my money? ”
Of course, the dignified Duke of Hesse naturally would not take money from others. But it was said that the little Duke of Hesse fell unconscious on the spot, and after going back, he began to suffer from frequent dizziness, nausea, and mental trance, and nosebleeds flowed out as if he didn't want money, and he couldn't even stand steadily. Within a few days, when he got up at night, he fell headlong, and when he was found the next day, his lips were purple and his body was stiff.
This caused an uproar in the Duchy of Hesse, and Dietrich, the Duke of Hesse, died before he became a two-month emperor, so much so that the people said that it was retribution caused by his usurpation. And whether he has an heir or not, the title of duke, but it is back to Heinrich's head. The nobles of the Duchy of Hesse (mainly the vassals of the Count of Pomeron and the mayor of Frankfurt) immediately wrote to invite the Heinrich brothers and sisters to return, and their situation in Saxony was already awkward, so they naturally went back happily.
The next day, Han Xing went to have a good talk with Roy's future brother-in-law, Heinrich, Duke of Hesse the Younger. He was an acquaintance, and judging from Miss Agrice's rare (jiāo) shyness, Han Xing knew about it (qíng), and Heinrich probably already knew about it.
Although Han Xing helped Dietrich capture Marlborough, if Han Xing had not been born, he, the Duke of Hesse, would have only become a puppet of Count Sāo. Coupled with Han Xing's life-saving grace and gift grace in the hunt, plus the fact that there was indeed a two-person (qíng) relationship between his sister and Roy, the little Duke of Hesse finally nodded.
A treaty of alliance was signed, in which the Duke of Hesse the Younger recognized Han Xing's dominance over the county of Sāo; However, Roy will be the Earl of Sāo as the brother-in-law of the Duke of Hesse Jr. The Duchy of Hesse and the Duchy of Braunschweig will open their borders to caravans to the outside world in order to promote economic development, and Han Xing will give priority to the purchase of timber produced in the Duchy of Hesse at a reasonable price (qíng).
At the same time, Han Xing promised to help the Duchy of Hesse build a new trading city - Kassel after the development of Göttingen is on the right track! The city is scheduled to be located on the banks of the Lennar, halfway between Göttingen and the village of Gamquan on the water, in order to join the Lena water trade system.
It was a mutually satisfactory treaty, as Han Xing secured his trade routes and gained a stable surrounding environment, while an alliance with the Duchy of Hesse allowed both sides to take what they wanted. At the same time, it also improved Han Xing's bad reputation for wanton expansion, so that the German nobles no longer regarded him as a "flood beast"!
And the wedding of Roy and Miss Egrice took place in Göttingen, in the chapel of Father Eugen! To the accompaniment of the "Wedding March" played by the organ, Miss Egris, the bride in a white wedding dress, dragged her skirt several meters long and walked onto the red carpet with gold trim in full view of the spectators.
Roy, on the other hand, wore a navy blue tuxedo, a silver bow tie of the same color, a white shirt underneath, and messy red hair, which was rarely carefully groomed, and even oiled and neatly combed behind his head.
When the bride walked up to the crowd in crystal heels and supported by the servants, the Duke of Hesse, the younger Duke, wearing a silver crown of pearls, stepped forward and took his sister's hand, accompanied her up the steps, and then handed her hand to Roy. When he let go of his sister's hand, the bearded little Duke of Hesse was obviously reluctant, and a trace of tears flashed in his sentimental eyes.
Miss Agrice smiled slightly, whispered a few words in her brother's ear, and the little Duke of Hesse felt better, rubbed his reddened eyes, and slowly took a few steps back.
"I declare that you are officially married, and you can kiss your bride!" After asking a few questions that are common to all weddings, Father Eugen made the announcement. As he finished speaking, the church bells rang out, and flowers and streamers rained down from the sky like butterflies on the newlyweds (shēn) who kissed each other (qíng). This scene is really romantic like a fairy tale~
Within a few days, the iron ore sent by Frederick I and the German nobles also arrived, and I have to say, this is really a stark contrast, what a ink blot these nobles have? So much so that even the goods came faster than these big living people! However, in view of the fact that the aristocratic travel is basically = group outing, Han Xing is not surprised!
Of course, Han Xing found a total of 4 batches of workers and asked them to take turns to produce, each batch worked for three hours, this is to ensure that they are always in the best mental and physical condition, after all, there are many people! To wages? What kind of salary do you need to live in the seaside area?
In fact, it's not that human beings are lazy, or rather, laziness also depends on the situation. Work and leisure should reach a state of balance, such as the "seaside area", work is not more than three hours a day, work has become a pastime, a form of entertainment, not a burden! Like the 996 work system in reality, can it not make people lose interest in work? Work has become a burden, people avoid work and hate going to work, which is the result of the balance between work and leisure being broken!
What's more, participating in the production process of weapons is a dream for many men, which can help them understand the structure of weapons and improve their ability to disassemble, assemble, and repair weapons.
The only thing that Lin Ling Han Xing felt sorry for was that the production of World War I rifles could not be carried out, and the crux of the problem was something that was not worth mentioning in reality - springs. Don't look at the small spring, if you want to pull out a thin enough steel wire, it is a difficult test for the flexibility of steel (xìng) and metallurgical process!
For example, the small steel ball on the tip of a ballpoint pen, don't look at it as worthless, in the world, only a few large countries can produce it!
Therefore, Han Xing had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and turned to the production of revolver rifles and revolver pistols, and now Han Xing knows why no one uses this thing! One word, heavy, even if the gun (shēn) is made of wood, the revolver rifle is heavy in the hand! And that runner must be made of all-metal, and the consumption of materials is also very large, which can be described as thankless! So far, its output is only about 20 pieces per day, and there is neither the need nor the ability to popularize it~
As Han Xing expected, the nobles were 1.2 million satisfied with Han Xing's hospitality and hospitality! Just like the original Braunschweig aristocrats, they attended a banquet held by Han Xing, and after tasting the delicacies and rich fruits and vegetables made by Han Xing's French chefs, they suddenly burst into tears and said: We have never eaten such delicious food in our lives, and we will leave Göttingen in the future, what should we do?
Han Xing is "kind-hearted" and deliberately launched a recipe, the specific cooking method of each delicacy, as well as the texture and taste, have detailed explanations, and they are full of pictures and texts, the kind that can make people cry just by looking at it. Why did he do it? To promote the development of Göttingen, of course!
You think, if these noble lords want to eat delicious food, they need ingredients, ingredients, vegetables, melons and fruits, don't they all have to come to Göttingen to buy? A small recipe can make the nobles endorse for free, and make their "advertising" in one fell swoop in the entire Holy Roman Empire!
The auction of guns was a success, with more than 1,000 smoothbore guns, plus 20 guns, and at its most expensive, a gun fetched a high price of 20 gold coins, and a cannon sold for more than 150 gold coins. Lin Lin finally calculated that Han Xing had recorded a total of more than 21,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to the current income of Göttingen for seven or eight years!
Han Xing repaired for a few more days, and decided to leave Roy in charge, Hans in charge of finance, Baron Albrecht in charge of diplomacy, Baron Bird and Sir Ernst in charge of the military, and now the diplomacy of the Duchy of Braunschweig is in good shape, Han Xing left enough reserves and seeds, and also ordered people to cut down trees and cultivate land near Göttingen.
Now that the infinite world is over, Han Xing can take Le Fengstu and set off to the [Pirates of the Caribbean World]!
When Han Xing came to the chapel, he saw Father Eugen preaching, and I have to say that this old priest is indeed worthy of being a master of immersion (yín). Looking at his solemn appearance, Han Xing was about to believe that his old man was the "reincarnation of a Bodhisattva"! Bah, baba, people are Catholic monks, of course, angels descend to earth~
Seeing that what he said was really devoted, Han Xing didn't bother him, and after the sermon was over, Han Xingcai walked in and said hello to him.
"Lord Duke, are you going to the world of drama (qíng) again?" As if he could see Han Xing's heart, Father Eugen said with a kind smile.
"Yes! Lady Lilith's husband, Sir Horst Limburg, is stranded in the world of qíng, and I promised her that I would get her husband back! What's more, I still have a deal with this old gentleman! Han Xing nodded slightly, and then pointed to Le Fengstur, who was looking anxious in the church.
"May my Lord bless you!" Hearing this, Father Eugen drew a cross path with his finger in front of Han Xing (xiōng) to his forehead.
"By the way, isn't Count Roy going with you this time?" Father Eugen asked suddenly.
"No, no, he just got married, so he should stay at home and accompany his wife! When you have the opportunity, it's better to accompany your family~ However, Le Funs will accompany me! Han Xing pulled Le Fengstu, who was on the side of (shēn), and said.
Han Xing and Le Fengs both entered two closed prayer rooms. Han Xing closed the wooden door, took out the long-sealed natal jade pendant from the inventory, and chose to enter the [Pirates of the Caribbean World].
