Chapter XVII

According to the laws of the previous life, Lawson Company is likely to be a "underworld force" gang. And Dussaint himself...... It may be identified as the backbone or even the umbrella of it.

Fortunately, this is an empire, a magical country where the laws are so complicated that almost no one can understand them. As long as Rosen and his fifteen friends usually don't provoke the nobles, or simply decide to rebel against His Majesty the Emperor in a hot head, it is indeed not difficult for Dusand to protect them.

Selling security services to civilians is hard work.

The real "smart guys" are selling the promise of "I won't come to trouble you" to civilians. Few people would face the revenge of gangs, thieves and extortionists for a few shillings a month, which is a very unprofitable business.

But Rosen didn't understand, or he didn't want to. He's experienced blackmailβ€”the gangsters know exactly what your vulnerables are. They will put pressure on you with impunity and demand high "compensation".

Rosen's grandmother was well aware of the trick and was adamant that Rosen would not have any contact with Enrico's men. There will be no end to such compensation, as long as they taste a little benefit, they will be more crazy to exploit the victims later.

Until the other party handed over his last half-penny coin and was forced to die.

Gangs are typical of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and they prefer to use simple, even light-hearted, ways to oppress civilians. Until the last moment, the gangs are not willing to fight with knives and guns.

How easy is it to force the other party to death and then take all the property?

Rosen is a young man, a victim of a gang, and at the same time has been helped and cared for by Dussand.

On top of that, Dussander once told him to "strengthen the security design of the factory, and the design must not be stolen". This is the benefactor and the noble lord's instructions.

As a result, the company had fifteen guards. In order to pay the salaries of the fifteen guards, Rosen simply took over the security commission of dozens of surrounding homes - since the second floor of Enrico's boss was completely blown away by the Privy Council guards, half of the industrial area has fallen into a state of "anarchy". Although it hasn't caused any major disasters yet, seven or eight homes have been burglarized in one day, which is really scary.

Now, Rosen's business is booming. Every day, new security orders are sent to your door.

What's even more unexpected is that the police department filing required by the security company has been handled extremely smoothly. The Deputy Commissioner for Management and Registration of the Police Force even personally took a horse-drawn carriage and delivered the registered certificate to Rosen.

The deputy commissioner even told Rosen very kindly that the police force has a batch of police equipment that is ready to be phased out. And Rosen could buy them all at a very good price.

Rosen agreed, and he rightly thought it was Mr. Deputy Commissioner soliciting bribes. So he handed Mr. Deputy Director thirty gold pounds for the compound regular market.

Mr. Deputy Commissioner was a little surprised when he saw Jin Pound's expression, but he still laughed and accepted the envelope.

Mr. Deputy Commissioner said that the delivery wagon arrived the next day. If he could, he hoped that Lord Dussander would be able to attend the handover ceremony together.

This was the main purpose of Rosen's letter to Dussand, who invited him to come to the handover ceremony at noon the next day.

"Are you sure you bought these things for thirty gold pounds?" Dussaint stood at the door of the tin house, stunned as he looked at the crates piled up half of the yard.

Rosen was also shocked, but he didn't have time to sigh right now - Dussand's question had not been answered.

"Indeed...... Thirty gold pounds. Rosen rubbed his head and said, "I just went and asked the accountant to reconcile the accounts to make sure I was not mistaken." Sir, it is indeed thirty gold pounds. ”

"Thirty gold pounds, you have bought eighty rifles, one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, six hundred pairs of boots, one hundred and fifty trench coats, three hundred and twenty batons, and a thousand pairs of handcuffs......" Dussander looked at the list in his hand, one head and two large ones, "and...... Didn't you say that these are all obsolete devices? Why are these things all new even in their chests? ”

Rosen looked at Dusson innocently, and after a long time, he replied cautiously tentatively, "This matter...... Could it be related to you, sir? ”

"I'm only ten years old." Dusson glared at Rosen, who looked a little apprehensive, "This deputy director is not my father, even if he is my father, he will not give me six hundred pairs of brand new boots as pocket money - he will only let me carry a rifle and go out for a run." ”

"But...... Sir, there is no other possibility. Rosen spread his hands and said, "These supplies are worth at least two hundred gold pounds together." It can't be that Mr. Deputy Director suddenly goes insane and thinks I look like his illegitimate son, right? ”

Two ten-year-old boys, look at me, I look at you, I really can't figure out what the production process of this steak falling from the sky is.

"Master, what did the deputy director tell you before?" Rosen decided to make one last effort, "This is obviously a gift from the deputy director to you, right?" ”

"He? He just greeted my mother and father. Dussaint scratched his head, "Nothing else......"

The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and then Rosen, reminded by the old accountant, invited Dussander into the room and brought him a cup of hot tea.

"We didn't bother to go up and buy good tea." Rosen trembled and raised the large teapot and poured a cup for Dussand, "This is a surrogate tea, if you can't get used to it...... I'm going to have people go out and buy black tea right now. ”

"I just wanted to try it." Dussaint picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smacked the taste, "Don't say it, it's still ...... Quite distinctive. ”

Rosen's grandmother walked out of the room and greeted Dussand. Then, ignoring Rosen's warning, he took Dussand's face tremblingly with his dry hands and kissed him twice on the head.

"Bless you, kind sir, bless you." The old woman patted Dussand's shoulder excitedly, with such force that Dusand felt a little painful.

"Rosen is a good boy, and he will definitely repay you." The old woman pointed to Lawson, who was a little uncomfortable all over her body, and said, "I raised him, I know what kind of person he is!" ”

Dusant smiled and nodded, saying that he "does not suspect that he will not use suspicious people", and then talked to the old woman for a long time, and then sent the person back.

Rosen explained with some embarrassment, "When my father died, my grandmother seemed calm. But...... After Enrico boss's small building was blown up, she suddenly started crying. ”

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was not very special, Rosen was full of gratitude, "I know that my grandmother didn't even dare to show her sadness about her son's death because she was worried about me and my sister. As he spoke, Rosen's eyes slowly turned red, "If it weren't for you and the Privy Council guards to solve Enrico's ...... Gangsters, I can't imagine how things will go after that. ”

He sniffed and said, "The day after you left, I found a twenty-five-pound bag of explosives in my grandmother's room. ”

An old man who can confront the hooligan ruffians with a crowbar has an explosive bag weighing about twenty pounds in his room, so where could this explosive bag explode...... Needless to say, Dussaint can guess it.

He couldn't help but sigh a little, if Rosen hadn't mustered up the courage to go to the bankruptcy court to find a buyer, if he wasn't a nobleman, if Tom and Todd didn't have such a big temper...... Will there be a sudden suicide bombing attack in Newsar that night?

Although he was only trying to find a bargain at first, he ended up eradicating a gangster, saving a respectable old woman, and creating a low-cost security company for the industrial area. Dussaint smiled slowly, and this change seemed quite good.

"I have another business here." After chatting with Rosen for a few more words, Dussander suddenly remembered his "mission", "You can help me ask, who has the ability to process crankshafts in the industrial area, mainly to have milling machines and broaching equipment, and to have experience." ”

In the beginning, Dussaint thought that a steam lathe would be enough to do all the machining work. But as it turned out, he was a little wrong. Without milling and broaching machines, it would have been impossible for Polina to machine the crankshaft on her own.

There are two solutions, either the ten-year-old Rosen can suddenly have a flash of inspiration and become a more talented technician or caster than Polina, and complete the process research of the casting airflow impact molding in a few days...... Either that, the billet is sent elsewhere for initial processing and then finished with a Polina lathe.

"Machining crankshafts?" Rosen looked a little embarrassed, "Sir, the crankshaft of the steam engine is too big, and there may not be a family on Albin who can do it." ”

"We're not going to make a crankshaft that's about half a joll in length." "Master Polina is already working on other processing methods, but until then, we have to find the best processing plant first." ”

As one of the most important components of the engine, the crankshaft must be extremely strong and homogeneous in order to withstand the impact of the continuous operation of the four cylinders.

Dussander didn't have any idea of it, but Polina insisted that at least the experimental machine should be made of the strongest homogeneous metal ingots in theory, and then continuously cut and shaped and then heat treated, before it could be installed for experiments.

According to Dussand's shallow knowledge, the cut parts are robust, but they are expensive and have long production cycles. Very unfavorable for large-scale industrial production.

Isn't this the reason why the Tiger tank was submerged in the T-34 ocean?

However, it is better to respect the professional knowledge of Teacher Polina for experiments.

"Second thing, there's a piece of news that you can help me find out this time recently." Dussander thought for a moment and said, "Has anyone been buying votes in the House of Commons in recent months?" If anything, who are they going to buy a vote for. ”
