Chapter II: The Case Takes Shape

The town of Aliai, a thriving commercial town that eventually became the temporary capital of the current Kingdom of Cape, began a new construction boom as a large number of the king's ministers and nobles moved into the city.

The merchants of Aliai were clever enough to prepare a large number of building materials when they learned that the royal government had moved south.

But they clearly didn't think it through. Because these nobles who moved south with the king were no longer able to pay, if it weren't for Theresa's small coffers to help them, they would probably have to sleep on the streets.

But it is precisely because of this that Theresa can finally use her private property to help the king's government without any scruples - most of the nobles who currently live in the town of Aliai have fiefs in the north, and the nobles whose fiefs were originally in the south have inadvertently died.

Other words...... In this vast southern territory, except for Theresa's own territory, the rest is the king's final say - in fact, Theresa's own territory is also the king's final say.

In this way, no one can disobey the king's orders in the open. But seeing this long-awaited scene, Henry found that he was not very excited.

His family was lost, a lot of people around him died, and he was seriously injured, but after there was no nobleman, all the affairs of the whole south were submitted to him, which made him exhausted.

But he still had to bow down in person and implement every arrangement in every detail. He knew that his son Yuge could only be regarded as a qualified soldier at present, not a qualified ruler. He is really not worried about his son's ability to handle chores.

Maybe the Gentile with the surname Si is qualified, but ......

"That young man who was carried away by love, I'm afraid there is only Theresa in his eyes. The king sighed. He didn't want to see one day in the future, his daughter become the biggest vassal in the kingdom, and then his two descendants would have an unusually cruel fire.

It's like ...... The current Duchy of Boulogne is so-so.

In Capet, it is well known that the King and the Duke of Boulogne share a common great-grandfather, and that they are true cousins, but that doesn't stop the intrigue between the two.

The king was reluctant to allow any of the tragedies of the past to happen again.

Therefore, he is still reluctant to reuse Sinampei for the time being, because he knows that Sinampei will not hesitate to seek benefits for Theresa. For example, on the issue of the residences of the aristocracy.

"The output of cement is still too low, so many people seem to want to live for a long time, but they can't just be allowed to live in the barracks. In Theresa's castle outside the town of Aliai, Sinampei sat in his office, smiling miserably as he sketched on the drawings, "But this is a good opportunity, let those nobles be propagandists, but you can't let them eat rice here." Well, we should find a way to make those stupid businessmen willingly make up for the losses caused by the large-scale construction of the exiled aristocracy this free of charge. ”

In fact, Theresa had already clearly told him not to set the price of cement too high, but Sinampei still disobeyed. After all, cement, like soap, is not something that is easy to keep secret, and it is better to get a vote and leave than to bother to expand production and reduce prices to make wedding dresses for others.

If you want to make money, some are technology! Like floor-to-ceiling mirrors, MSG or even muskets...... Thinking of this, the quill pen in Sinampei's hand stopped for a moment.

A feeling of uneasiness gripped him at this point.

When Christina assassinated the king, she used a rifled gun, right? Sinampei was not sure how advanced the firearm in Christina's hand was, but he could already determine the two points of rear loading and rifling.

He took the bullet that had pierced the king's chest from the small box on his desk, and began to study it again.

Ever since escaping the Galledonians, he had taken out the bullet countless times in an attempt to get more information from it. But this bullet brought him more mysteries and gave him a headache.

Others thought that this bullet and the gun that used it were all related to Seris, but Sinampei knew very well that the Seris here - that is, a country with an eighty percent probability of being similar to the Celestial Empire, would never have such a weapon, otherwise with such a level of technology, the world would have been colonized long ago!

So, apart from this unreliable possibility, the rest is possible...... Sinampei finally thought about the most ridiculous guess.

But he eventually turned his back on his reason: "Impossible, if this is the case, how could she kill her ancestors and then help foreign invaders!"

He laughed self-deprecatingly at his own paranoia. Even though he knew he might have guessed correctly, he didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart.

Self-deception is bad, but it takes a lot of courage to face reality.

What's more...... "It's still possible to travel to the other world, after all, there is a parallel universe theory there, but it's ridiculous to go back to the past!" Si Nanpei finally found such a reason for himself. Then, in order to convince himself that he was right, he muttered again, "It seems that I need to find time to talk to Master De Rice and let him explain my doubts." ”

After that, he forced himself to stabilize his mind, and then devoted himself to his work: "The management regulations in the factory must be changed, and the use of assembly line operations must be much better than the current masters in the guild who work alone, which is a factory now, it is almost the same as a factory!"

"Oh, by the way, it's Pol, damn it, I know there's probably pyrrhotite there, but ...... But I don't know how to smelt that thing! Even if I do, I don't have any suitable equipment at hand, and this is not the earth of the twenty-first century! Can't you just go a little farther and find some high-value iron ore?" At this moment, his desk was a mess, and all kinds of documents were piled up in a mess - these were all matters that Sinampei had to deal with. Although the king did not entrust him with important military affairs, these so-called "chores" that others could not understand, but in fact were important and abnormal, were enough for him!

"Damn, Theresa's list of personal expenses, when will it be my turn to deal with this thing!Oh, by the way, I seem to be her butler......
