Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Everyone knows that the Duke has many enemies. If you list all the enemies of the Duke on a piece of paper, the paper can be connected to circle the garden.But no one knew that the guy the Duke didn't like to deal with the most was not on these papers.Yes, this person is not the Duke's enemy. In the eyes of many people, he is a harmless playboy. He is the little Earl of Kentra.

His Excellency the Duke wanted to throw the teacup in the face of the little Earl of Kentra many times.When the little Earl of Kentra put on a silly face and said that he would definitely complete the task, and then messed up the matter within three days; A time when research projects funded within proved worthless; and now.The little Earl of Kentra put on an expression that he was going to save the world, and praised in detail how he had vision from the beginning, and he spit all over when he talked about his pride.

The importance of penicillin is beyond doubt.The Duke understood this, but he still felt itchy looking at the face of the little Earl of Kentra.In order to prevent himself from doing something like throwing a cup that would ruin his aristocratic demeanor, His Excellency the Duke put down the teacup in his hand and pushed it a little farther away. "Cough." His Excellency the Duke coughed very fakely, interrupting Little Kentra's speech. "I'm sure this is a feat that will go down in history. So when can the final test be done?"

George scratched at his slightly curly hair. "The final safety test has not been completed yet, and it cannot be put into use in large quantities immediately, but it is no problem to take it out for display. In fact, it will take a long time. When I went to inspect last time, I provided them with a research idea. The research time was limited. Greatly shortened..." The research and development time is too long, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, I don't know when the Duke found out some news about penicillin, this time he caught the handle of the old Earl of Kentra, the superficial temptation is actually a threat , asking George to hand over the research results of penicillin.George wisely agreed.A few days ago, the Duke had sent someone to the laboratory, but it should not have arrived, otherwise the Duke would not have asked him to inquire.

"Very good!" His Excellency the Duke stretched his brows and eyes, showing his first sincere smile since seeing George.His Excellency the Duke will automatically ignore those self-boasting words later on.At first, he also doubted whether George was really talented in science. After several years of observation, he found that George basically knew nothing about it.The so-called pointing the way in George's words may be to make people randomly combine two things that should not be combined together.He firmly believes that he is the guiding light, this kind of enigmatic self-confidence, the Duke really doesn't understand.But the duke in a good mood didn't hate George's face any more. "This time, Brown, who tried to hurt you and your sister, tried to pass a bill that is very unfavorable to us. If that bill is passed, his status can go further."

George immediately showed a look of resentment: "The evidence I gave you..."

His Excellency the Duke explained a few words patiently: "Of course we need to use those evidences, but not now. He is highly relied on for his achievements in the past, and if he acts rashly now, it will attract the interference of other people, and the desired results cannot be obtained. It is better to take the evidence first. The release of penicillin attracted some businessmen and made his proposal fail. Submitting evidence to the court at this time will get twice the result with half the effort.”

George was stunned, showing admiration in his eyes. "You still think carefully, then everything will follow your plan."

Although this sentence was said rudely but very straightforwardly, His Excellency the Duke heard it very pleasantly. "The time is urgent. I will ask them to take the samples in the past two days."

George waited, but His Excellency the Duke did not continue speaking.George raised his eyebrows, but the Duke still couldn't understand what he meant.George couldn't help but said: "I am very willing to hand over penicillin to you, but the penicillin experiment has been done for several years, and a lot of investment was invested in the early stage, and several times were added later..."

The Duke understood now that George wanted money!He is full of contempt for this kind of practice that has no aristocratic demeanor and is full of businessmen's copper stink. In the past, his subordinates gave them willingly to get a credit, a favor, and as long as this person is still useful, he will definitely not treat him badly. .The lower the other party's attitude is, the happier he is, and the more generous the compensation will be in the future.It has been a long time since the Duke traded with such a clearly marked price.But on second thought, that's fine too.George's mind was on gold coins, which was better than his mind on power.For such a guy who can mess up such a small matter, the Duke is reluctant to give him an important position to waste.After changing his mentality, the Duke readily agreed. "Letting the hero only pay but not gain is the work of a businessman who only pursues profit but has no credit. How much money have you invested in total?"

"You are willing to avenge us, how can I ask you to pay for the research and development of penicillin?" George said sternly. "Those merchants can just give me the money for the first batch of penicillin. Recently, the merchant ship has not returned from the sea, and I urgently need liquidity. Otherwise, I will never make this request." The Duke sold the penicillin samples to these merchants, and the next move It's time to start, and there will definitely be no benefits at all.It's a fortune to get a fortune now.

This is not a greedy request, the Duke readily agreed, saying that he would remit the money to George's account as soon as he got the money.Last month, he also thought that if George refused to cooperate, he would do it immediately.Now it seems that he can tie George to his chariot, and he is willing to maintain a good relationship for the time being.

The two looked at each other and smiled, on the surface they were happy to cooperate, but in fact they secretly planned their own plans in their hearts.

Things have been going well since then.On the surface, the two parties have been at loggerheads, but secretly, under the temptation of penicillin, many people have leaned towards the Duke side, both openly and secretly.How profitable can a necessary monopoly drug be?Even the duke, who has never paid much attention to money, was a little moved.Let alone other people.

The other party was obviously a little impatient.In the ensuing discussion, although he didn't point to his nose directly, his words implied that the Duke's refusal to agree was out of self-interest and disregarding the overall situation of the party.

In order to resist the pressure, the Duke's words became sharper, racking his brains to dismiss Mr. Brown's plan as useless.His Excellency the Duke does not want to see this situation.After Mr. Brown is overthrown, he will put forward these proposals with slight changes in details.At this time, if you talk too much, you will have to refute yourself in the future, which is not good for face.However, if the words are not fierce, they will appear weak under the fierce offensive of the opponent.Just when the Duke was in a dilemma, someone from his subordinates stepped forward.

Most of the native British nobles are related by marriage. After considering the intricate blood relationship, this one can be regarded as his little cousin.His royal blood is a little thinner than the duke's.These years have been with the duke's men, can be regarded as one of the go-getters, the best is neutral and muddy.This time he did the same.His Excellency the Duke nodded in satisfaction, and then proposed that these proposals on the reform of election conditions and the adjustment of the import tax on agricultural products could be entrusted to this little cousin, which would save face.

Seeing that more than half of the preparations had been completed, even the Duke, who had been very cautious all along, couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed.He never imagined that things would change drastically overnight.
