Lord of Industrialization

A conspiracy against a huge political force cannot be planned in one day, implemented in two days, effective in three days, and successful in five days.

Mary discussed with Frederick for three days, decided on the principle direction, then returned to the mountains and left on the fire dragon.

Now the troops from the Principality of Wesson and the Osmaga Empire heading to the Kingdom of Tarago are leaving Ferdinand Port by boat. There are many things that need to be dealt with, and Mary has to go back and take charge.

The plan discussed by the two was sent to King Francisco of Sardinia through the Free Society. He had no objection to it and decided which piece of cake he would share in the future.

A dark cloud formed over the city of Venice, but no one noticed its presence.

Nowadays, Venetians are worried about the shops that were smashed, smashed and robbed a while ago, and have no time to care about other things.

At this time, Frederick bid farewell to the city of Bern and was invited to the Principality of Milan to participate in the 80th birthday celebration of Archduke Edwards of Milan.

The person in charge of the reception was Baron Gunnar, the great-grandson of Archduke Edwards.

Gunnar was the same age as Frederick, and he had to wait for his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father to pass away before he could succeed to the position of Grand Duke of Milan.

As the saying goes, they are relatives across generations. They are pampered by their great-grandfather and grandfather. The Duchy of Milan is also the most prosperous power in the Kingdom of Sardinia. Gunnar has lived in a honeypot since he was a child, eating, drinking and having fun every day, and making friends with young people from all parties. .

In the van heading to Milan, Gunnar said helplessly: "My good days are coming to an end. My great-grandfather said he was going to let me go to work."

Frederick looked at his thick arms, the chest and trapezius muscles that stretched out his shirt, and the short wand inserted into the side of his leg. It was impossible to grow like this without suffering.

Gunnar continued to complain: "In the final analysis, it was you who caused this. You performed so well. I have been compared with you all these years, and I can never compare to you."

All young people hate being compared with "other people's children", and the greater the gap, the more annoying it becomes.

Now that he saw the real owner, Gunnar couldn't help but complain.

Frederick replied calmly: "Just get used to it."

Gunnar sighed helplessly, this was all he could do, what else could he do?

He asked again: "I heard that you are going to deal with the Venetians?"

Frederick asked, "Do you have any grudge against the Venetians?"

Gunnar looked directly into Frederick's eyes and said seriously: "I heard His Highness Gianni and his great-grandfather talking about attacking the Venetians. Are there any details?"

"Considering that you happened to come to the Kingdom of Sardinia, I think this matter has something to do with you."

Frederick thought for a while and realized that His Royal Highness Jenny was the eldest grandson of the king.

Jenny is twenty-two years old this year, six years younger than his aunt Princess Lola. To become king, he only has to deal with his grandfather and father, which is easier than Gunnar.

Frederick remembered a piece of highly probable but unconfirmed information, so he asked Gunnar: "I heard that His Highness Jenny is going to marry your family?"

Gunnar replied: "Yes, marriages often occur between our 'Seven Sisters' families."

"His Royal Highness Jenny and my youngest aunt Anita have fallen in love with each other, and that should be it."

"That's right!" Gunnar suddenly remembered something, "You must be mentally prepared when you meet His Highness Jenny. He has been very resentful towards you recently."

Frederick's head was full of questions. He had never offended anyone, so why did he feel resentful?

Gunnar didn't explain much, but changed the topic: "There are many activities prepared to celebrate my great-grandfather's 80th birthday this time. What do you want to see?"

Seeing that he was thinking like this, it shouldn't be a big deal. He was probably being someone else's child again, so he didn't worry about it, so he said to the topic: "I don't know what kind of activities there are."

Gunnar immediately counted on his fingers and said: "There are real sword competitions, magic competitions, tractors around the city, archery competitions, wrestling competitions, horse racing, football competitions..."

Frederick felt that something strange had been mixed in.

He said: "I haven't been here yet, let's walk around and have a look."

Gunnar immediately said: "It's good to look around. There are many circuses and theater groups in the city now, which is quite interesting."

“If you want to taste delicious food, that’s no problem. We followed the example of Weissenburg City and published a food atlas, covering everything from fine meals to street food.”

Then he smiled evilly: "It's no problem if you want to meet ladies. I'm sure there are many salons waiting for you."

"You can also have a masked dance where no one knows who the other party is from start to finish."

Frederick thought to himself, the people here know how to play.

But he said: "I want to go to the Borromeo library."

Gunnar was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "Is there anything special there?"

Frederick said with a smile: "I heard that it was the first library that opened and put books in book boxes instead of chained to the table."

This seems to involve Gunnar's knowledge blind spot, and he doesn't seem to know about it.

Gunnar said: "I've been there before, and it was only managed by a few old priests. It's not easy for them to live by themselves, and they can't manage the library at all.

"It's very dirty and old inside. There's dust on the desk. I'm afraid the books are rotten."

Frederick sighed inwardly after hearing this.

This library was once a place where Psyche fished, and it was planned and built by Archbishop Borromeo.

However, Archbishop Borromeo was completely defeated in the internal struggle of the church, and the entire faction collapsed in less than 20 years. The library also lost its sponsors, and only some faction remnants who had nowhere to go spent the rest of their lives there.

Seeing that he was not behaving normally, Gunnar asked curiously, "Is there anything special about that library?"

Frederick replied, "There are many books from the Ghazi Empire and the Dashi Empire, which are very valuable."

Gunnar asked expectantly, "Is there any treasure map or something like that in it?"

Frederick said with a smile, "How can it be that good?"

"I heard that there was a traveler who studied Oriental studies in Milan and was a good friend of Archbishop Borromeo. Before he died, he donated all his books to the library, including many original books about the Ghazi Empire and the Dashi Empire that he had collected over the years."

Gunnar recalled and said, "It seems to be true."

Frederick thought for a while and asked, "Is it okay for me to buy that library?"

Gunnar smiled and replied, "Of course it's okay. Otherwise, you can buy more properties."

Frederick raised his eyebrows and felt that his words contained a lot of information.

Gunnar said sincerely: "We hope you can invest in building a factory in Milan. Any factory will do."

Frederick asked seriously: "Who are the 'we' you are talking about?"
