Chapter 62: Charlemagne's Emissary

After dealing with the affairs of the army, the next day, Buchen made another appointment with the representatives of the big business stocks in the four towns of Wushan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the saying goes: A big husband can't go without money for a day! This is still the case for a single family, let alone a great husband who has great ambitions and vows to save the world! Buchen has a lot to do, so he needs a lot of money, but although the four towns of Wushan are not small in territory and rich in materials, they have a small population, and population is the foundation of wealth. So, to tell you the truth, the four towns of Osan are actually just poor places among the many provinces of the Ceris Empire!

To create an earth-shattering cause in such a poor place, I am afraid that it is not enough to scrape the ground, and such a game will definitely provoke a civil uprising, so it is not advisable at all!

So if it's not feasible to scrape the ground, what can you rely on to make money? For Buchen, the correct answer is naturally to engage in a "high-tech" industry!

In fact, strictly speaking, these industries that Buchen wants to jointly venture with the local snake merchants are not high-tech, they are nothing more than some machines and light industrial products that can save a lot of manpower, such as water-powered spinning machines, transparent glass, and their derivatives, glass mirrors, tobacco, salt, etc.

Most of these things are related to people's livelihood, and some of them are so-called "just needs", so they don't have to worry about being unmarketable, just see how low the cost can be compressed!

Not to mention the water-powered spinning machine, in this era of spinning all rely on artificial family workshops, it is simply a big killer, once born, the small family workshops are not squeezed out of a large area of closure is called a strange thing! As for salt, Buchen wants to engage in an open-air salt drying field on the seaside, which is much better than boiling salt by the coastal people themselves! Needless to ask, it's another immoral thing that harms people unemployed.

Tobacco will not make the people outside the four towns of Wushan lose their livelihoods, although there is smoke in this world, but they are all hookahs that have not been commercially developed, compared to the tobacco of the previous life is far worse, and the minister is the master of all the technology of the previous life, the development of this line is definitely a good deal for the day to make money!

Not to mention glass products, an absolute gold-absorbing machine! In this world, the glass products of both the Eastern and Western continents are extremely transparent things, and they can't make mirrors at all, so the whole world is now using copper mirrors to make do.

Although the copper mirror looks very emotional, but the mood is emotional, practicality is another thing, the reflective effect of the copper mirror is needless to say, it can't be compared with the glass mirror at all, and the surface will oxidize and become blurry after a long time, which can be said to be a very expensive but impractical thing.

As you can imagine, once the glass mirror is launched, it will be very popular!

Although Buchen's wishful thinking was good, to his surprise, the big merchants were not very interested in his proposal, but there was something else that made them particularly excited.

It's called football.

That's right! It's football, strictly speaking, it's a football league that Buchen once played in Bei'an, Beijing!

The big businessmen have all been to Beijing, and they all have deep feelings about the ability of football to attract money, and now that they have seen the initiator of Buchen, how can they not ask him to copy the truth of a football league? These people have all figured out, as long as they don't want to hold a league in Osan, they will enthusiastically invest in the construction of the stadium! It would be great if you could sign a contract with a first-class team and name a stadium after you!

For the requirements of the big businessmen, Buchen was a little crying and laughing, he didn't think about concocting a football league again, but Wushan is not as good as Bei'an, the capital of the world, which gathers the wealth of the world in one city, this is a poor place, even if the league can be earned, it is impossible to make money like in Beijing, it is better to engage in some industries with strong competitiveness! And football is also easy to make people lose their minds, he threw this thing out to anesthetize the people in order to make trouble for him in order to keep the people of Beijing from eating enough, and now that he plans to mobilize the people of the entire four towns of Wushan, how can they still be addicted to football all day long? Drunk and dreaming of death in a football field?!

After telling the big businessmen all these truths, although they regretted it, the big businessmen still expressed their understanding.

Buchen took this opportunity to trumpet the ability of his new industries to absorb gold, claiming that as long as he followed him, he would not be worried about not being able to make money every day!

The businessmen all knew that this product was the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, so naturally there was no reason to refuse, so they immediately signed a written agreement with Buchen according to the project they were optimistic about.

Buchen frowned and smiled, and after the business was done, he feasted and the merchants were corrupt all day.

Early the next morning, Buchen, who had not woken up from a hangover, was awakened by the sound of Diao Toad slamming the door.

"My lord! Open the door! There's something urgent! ”

Fei Fei, who was in charge of the bedtime last night, raised her head from Buchen's chest with some dissatisfaction, raised her eyebrows, stared at the door and complained: "Diao Chan, this girl is really good!" Don't sleep more in the morning, what a hard door! What's the big deal that you can't wait a little longer? ”

Buchen blinked, turned over, sat up from the bed, smiled bitterly, and said to Fei Fei: "Okay, okay!" When can't I sleep? It's still business! ”

"Humph! Serious business? Yesterday, I don't know who it was with a group of ~ profiteers who drank and talked about it, and they made trouble all day! Fei Fei said unhappily.

Buchen glanced back at Fei Fei, reached out and scratched Fei Fei's nose: "You don't understand this, do you?" Men are also serious about drinking! ”

"Shh Fei Fei stretched out her hand and knocked his hand off, turned over and continued to sleep: "If you like to do your business, just do it!" Anyway, this girl still has to sleep! ”

Buchen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, got dressed, walked to the door and let Diao Toad in.

"What's so urgent?" Buchen asked his own personal soldier captain with some curiosity.

"My lord, the envoy of His Majesty the Emperor to the west has arrived!" Diao Toad dared to delay, and immediately told the matter.

"The ...... of the West His Majesty the Emperor?! "At the beginning, I thought I had heard it wrong, after all, there are only popes and great spokesmen in the Western Continent, how can there be any emperor? It wasn't until he recalled it carefully that he suddenly realized who Diao Toad was referring to!

Just half a month ago, Charles Andris conquered the city of Sekorid, the capital of the Papal State, and the news of the establishment of the Western Empire reached the four towns of Oshan.

"It's Charlie?!"

Buchen rubbed his head a little wooden, it was funny, he had planned to send someone to contact Charlie when he was done for a while, but he didn't expect people to come to the door first.

"Take the messenger to the parlor and tell him I'll come later!" Buchen instructed Diao Toad.

"No!" Diao Toad agreed, then turned around and strode away.

Buchen glanced at her back, turned his head to a soldier standing outside the door, and said, "Go, tell the kitchen to make a bowl of sobering soup, and then give me a basin of washing water!" ”

The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and they also responded to the "promise" and ran to complete the task that was not assigned by the minister.

Ten minutes later, Buchen drank the sobering soup, washed up, and came to the living room of his mansion.

This palace was originally protected by most of the four towns, so the decoration is very gorgeous and comfortable, not much worse than the palaces of some kings in the Western Continent, so it is not at all chilling to entertain the envoys of friendly countries.

In fact, the messenger was indeed satisfied, and while drinking the tea brought by the maid, he looked around at the splendid hall in the oriental style.

"Is the Majesty Charlie's messenger?" At this moment, Buchen turned the screen and appeared in the living room.

And the messenger still doesn't know who is coming? Immediately stood up and saluted with fists like the people of Donglu!

"Excuse me!" Buchen smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, "His Majesty Charlie is my brother, since you are his messenger, you don't need to be too polite!" ”

As he spoke, Buchen looked at the envoy, and what surprised him was that the appearance of this envoy was extremely ordinary, belonging to the type that was completely unrecognizable in the pile, and his clothes were also very ordinary, and he didn't look like a big country at all, if he had to say that this envoy was like that kind of person, Buchen felt that this envoy was more like an intelligence worker, that is, a "spy" in the popular sense!

Thinking of this, Buchen's eyes narrowed slightly.

The messenger was a discerning person, and he quickly guessed what Buchen was thinking, and he immediately explained: "Your Excellency, there is no doubt that I am indeed the messenger of His Majesty Charles!" Here's the thing......"

After listening to the envoy's account, Buchen was puzzled, it turned out that before he was sent, this envoy was just a spy under the command of King Charles's intelligence chief, Shangguan Zhige, and the task of coming here this time was only to contact the remnants of the Buchen, in order to show support to them at the same time, to find a way to obtain the skills of the Buchen.

It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, because the scientific and technological level of this world is too low, and the road is far away, and the soldiers on the road are still dangerous......

Fortunately, this envoy is also a competent person, although he is full of doubts, but the mission is the mission, and he came to meet Buchen at the first moment he arrived in Zhenxi Fucheng.

"I'm done with my business, Your Excellency, with all due respect, may I ask a question now?" The messenger raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the unflinching bless.

Buchen naturally had no reason to retreat, he waved his hand lightly and said, "Please speak." ”

"Is Your Excellency really a minister of the world?!" The messenger asked, his eyes burning.
