Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Su Xincheng, City Lord's Mansion, Su Zheng's Study "Magician?" Su

Zheng, who was writing his paper, was a little surprised when he heard Chris's report, and there was actually another magician coming!"

"Yes, Your Highness, she claims to be a magician, and she is now at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion

and wants to meet you.

Su Zheng took a deep breath, put down the pen in his hand, and after thinking for a while, asked,

"Huh... Could it be the same sorceress invited by Ted City before

?" "Or possibly, Your Highness, do you want to see it?"

What if this is looking for revenge on me..."

Su Zheng rubbed his temples, and at this time, Su Zheng thought of He Jing, it would be nice if she was by her side....

After thinking for a while, Su Zheng still felt that his life was important, so he said to Chris:

"You go to see her, just let her talk to you about anything." "

Got it.

Chris nodded and left the study, while Su Zheng paced back and forth in the study.

In less than half an hour

, Chris ran over in a hurry: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to go and see you in person!"

Seeing Chris so flustered, Su Zheng was shocked and hurriedly asked

, "What's wrong?"

"Two more people came, one of them is still.... Duke: I said I was here to talk about business. "

Come to talk about business?" Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief, there is nothing surprising to talk about business

, after all, the things here are cheap and of good quality, so they will naturally attract the attention of some aristocratic and wealthy businessmen.

Chris continued

, "Your Highness, I have already asked the first woman to come, saying that she wants to stay in your territory to serve you, whether it is to join the army or serve.

Hearing this, Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, and smiled with some doubts:

"Is it allegiance again, am I so popular?" "

Your Highness, it is very likely that like His Excellency He Jing at the beginning, it is indeed possible that we were attracted by the situation in our territory and chose to be loyal to you.

Su Zheng put his hands behind his back and thought for a moment, then straightened his clothes and said

, "Let's go, let's go and meet! Let the guards assemble, if the magician really comes to take revenge, I will also let her have no return." "

Yes!".

Su Zheng, dressed in a tuxedo, arrives in the council chamber with a heavily armed grenadier guard with Chris.

When he came to the council hall and saw the situation inside, Chris's heart was a little puzzled.

At this time, the middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, and the first woman who came was standing behind the middle-aged man like a guard with the woman who came behind at this time.

The three of them were stunned when they saw Su Zheng's big battle, and the middle-aged man turned his head to look at one of the women, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chris was even more puzzled, the middle-aged woman smiling at her was the first female magician to come, and it seemed that they were very familiar.

"Earl

Su Zheng!" "Your Excellency the Duke!" The

middle-aged man stood up from his chair and greeted Su Zheng, who also bowed his head slightly.

"Haha, I'm sorry, Mr. Su Zheng, for letting you make such a big battle. The

middle-aged man said to Su Zheng with a smile, Su Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at the middle-aged man with some doubts.

The middle-aged man pointed to the woman behind

him and said, "These two are my daughters, Anna and Noelle, they were sent to Zhongzhou by me to awaken magic before, Noelle, quickly apologize to Earl Su Zheng."

A woman behind the middle-aged man stood up, bowed slightly to Su Zheng and said

, "I'm sorry Mr. Su Zheng, I apologize for my recklessness."

"I see!"

Hearing this, Su Zheng also probably understood what was going on, and waved his hand at the guards behind him to signal them to retreat.

"It's okay Your Excellency the Duke, please take a seat!" Su

Zheng motioned for the middle-aged man to sit down, and then sat down himself.

"To introduce myself, I am from the Rothschild family in the Kingdom of Klar, my name is Rothschild Adelaide. "

The Rothschilds .... Hey, I'm a little impressed"

Su Zheng seemed to have heard the name, but he couldn't remember it for a while, then Chris hurriedly leaned into Su Zheng's ear and said

, "Your Highness, most of the cloth in the market of the Xinqiong Empire belongs to their family! Hearing

this, Su Zheng's expression was suddenly realized, but suddenly he thought about it and it was still wrong, it seemed to be different from his impression, but Su Zheng didn't care, and now Su Zheng had guessed the purpose

of the person in front of him, so he smiled and said: "Hehehe, so Your Excellency came to me to talk about the cloth business?"

"This is just one of them, what I'm more interested in now is the machines in your workshop! What are those?".

Adelaide himself had come for the cloth and had found sugar on the way, so he changed his target, but when Adelaide spotted the clattering and smoky machines in the city-state, his target changed.

However, he could not see the full extent of the steam engine, because it was hidden in the inner room, and only the power was transmitted to the machine in the workshop through the propeller shaft.

Hearing that Adelaide was coming for a steam engine, Su Zheng was stunned at first, and then fell into deep thought.

In fact, Su Zheng really wanted to spread the steam engine, but Su Zheng didn't want the steam engine to spread out of control.

On the one hand, Su Zheng hoped that other places would also be industrialized, and when he expanded, he would be able to pick up ready-made ones.

But in case, if there is a problem with the expansion of force, and the enemy has industrial equipment, then once they also find out the guns, their military and industrial superiority will be gone.

"Your Excellency, what are your plans?"

Su Zheng did not directly refuse, wanting to see how he planned to cooperate first.

"I know that if I buy the technology directly, you will definitely not sell it, so I plan to work with you. First of all, although we started out in the cloth business, and our main industry is cloth, in fact, we also have many other businesses, including a large number of caravans and workshops, at least in the market of the Clare Kingdom, where our Rothschild family also accounts for a large proportion.

In addition, our family and the royal family of the Clare Kingdom are married for generations....

I can provide the capital and the market, as well as the security of the kingdom's court, and you only need to provide the technology, the profits, and I can divide it with you!"

Adelaide began to tell Su Zheng about his background and the benefits it could bring.

After listening, Su Zheng nodded, clasped his hands to his chest and said

, "Okay!" "

Ah?"

Adelaide, who was thinking about how to persuade Su Zheng next, was directly stunned, he thought that Su Zheng would have all kinds of worries, but he didn't expect Su Zheng to agree so easily, and he didn't react for a while.

As everyone knows, Adelaide's intention to cooperate directly made Su Zheng decide that the first target of future military expansion is the Clare Kingdom.

There is another reason why Su Zheng himself did not export industrial equipment to the outside world, that is, once other city-states saw the steam engine with their own eyes, they were likely to rob it or block the expansion of Su's industry, which was laborious and thankless.

It's okay if you just grab it and keep it for yourself, but Su Zheng is most worried about smashing the machine.

Therefore, now that there is a background to cooperate, Su Zheng will naturally not miss it.
