Chapter 387

"I heard that Her Royal Highness will be back soon."

It had been a whole month since Y'lisabet obtained the greatsword.

In a club beside London's City Avenue, several gentlemen were smoking and chatting while playing chess.

"Of course, Mister. I read the newspaper."

The bearded gentleman sitting opposite Mister put down the pipe in his mouth and handed him the newspaper.

Mister, with his slicked-back hair, took the newspaper, and then he realized that it was several days' worth of newspapers combined together.

But they were all on the front page.

"A traitor from the royal family appears in Glasgow!"

"An unspeakable national stain approaches Edinburgh Harbor!"

"A despicable traitor sues for peace with the French!"

"Elizabeth Arthur Alexandra Mary Windsor repels the French!"

"Elizabeth, the leader of the Royal Knights of the Kingdom, defends the honor of England!"

"The great and outstanding leader of the Royal Knights of the Kingdom and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is coming to her loyal London!"

Putting down the newspaper, Mister shrugged. "So the naive princess is coming back as a hero?"

"Of course, and it's today." The bearded gentleman opposite him puffed on his pipe. "Do you want to make an early investment?"

"I don't care about that. I just want to know if the peasants are still on strike."

Mister sighed. "I'm already the most benevolent factory owner in London. I allow them to work only twelve hours a day, and they can have ten minutes of afternoon tea in the afternoon. I can even provide tea. What else can they complain about?

"The factory under your name works seventeen hours a day, and no one causes trouble."

"Because they don't have that much free time." The mustached gentleman laughed at his friend opposite him. "You show them your kindness, and they'll take a mile when you give them an inch, and they'll want more. And you give them too much leisure time.

"Once they rest long enough, they will start thinking about this and that."

"Uh-huh, but I don't care anymore." Mister shrugged. "Let them be. I don't care."

"Oh?" The bearded gentleman was a little curious. "You even rejected the new apprentice from the charity. Is it because you found a substitute?"

They were all businessmen, and it was impossible not to make money.

There was only one reason why they did so, and that was to find a cheaper substitute.

"Let me guess, cheap labor from India?"

"Of course not." Mister smiled with a sense of superiority. "It's a mysterious black-haired businessman. He brought the technology, or rather, the machines."

He waved his hands and began to talk about what he had seen.

He liked to see the shock and disbelief on his friend's face, just like he did when he first met him.

"The machines can work 24 hours a day, and they don't need to provide food. Although it's expensive, there are no follow-up costs. It's worth. "

He took out his pocket watch from his chest pocket and looked at the time. Myst stood up, picked up his cane, and put on his top hat. "Please allow me to keep the appointment. Sir, if there's no need, I will let you know.

He took off his hat and bowed slightly, like a perfect gentleman. "Parliament has passed the Workers' Allowance Act. The money that compensates factories to hire more workers to keep them from losing their jobs can be used to buy those machines."

"Well, then I await your good news, my dear Sir Myst."

After saying goodbye to his friends, Sir Myst got on a carriage and returned to his factory.

After waiting in the office for about twenty minutes, the handsome black-haired gentleman appeared.

"My dear Sir Mister, sorry to have kept you waiting."

The gentleman took off his hat and extended his hand.

Mister took off his gloves and shook hands with him. "It's okay, I just arrived. So, my dear Mr. Infino, what good news do you have for me? "

"Oh, of course it's good news."

Infino, or Wang Quan, smiled warmly. "This is the information I got from Edinburgh. It's mainly about Princess Elizabeth's attitude and some of the truth."

"Oh …"

Mister sat up straight. "Looks like there's some inside information that I don't know."

He rang his handbell, and a steward entered with a silver tray in hand.

Of course, there was no WiFi password on the silver tray. Wang Quan was not interested in other people's WiFi.

Of course, he was not interested in other people's WiFi either.

On the silver tray were two small glasses and a bottle of clear amber-colored wine.

After the butler left, Myst picked up the bottle and poured two small glasses. "Infino, would you like a glass of sherry?"

"Of course." Wang Quan took the glass and took a sip.

"The Princess Knight did not defeat France. There was an agreement between them."

"Agreement …" Sir Mister furrowed his thick eyebrows.

"Uh-huh, what kind of person do you think Her Royal Highness is?" Wang Quan asked.

"Naive, kind, simple, straightforward, and determined." Mister told the truth.

Wang Quan nodded. "She's stupid, stupid, gullible, brainless, and one-track minded. It's easy to brush her off."

Mister took a sip of the wine and shrugged. "That's what you said. I never thought so."

In fact, he did think so.

"Then here's the problem." Wang Quan put down the glass and leaned forward slightly. "What do you think a stupid and one-track minded little girl like her will do if she comes into contact with France's new idea?"

Mister raised the glass to his lips and paused slightly.

Then he put down the glass and began to think about his words. "Indeed, that idea … is very tempting."

Even he was affected.

But it was not approval, but fear.

Because of his in-depth understanding, he understood the temptation of that idea to the people at the bottom.

That was why he reduced the workload of his factory workers.

This was a precaution.

Compared to other factories, his factory was already very good.

That was why he urgently needed Infino's machine.

As long as all the workers were replaced, it would be fine.

He did not want to be hung on the street lamp by his own workers in the future.

Especially when Infino said that the stupid Princess Royal Highness had already come into contact with France.

"How dare she!"

But he still felt incredulous. "She is the first heir to the royal family of the empire! Doesn't she know that the royal family is the biggest factory owner in Yingjili? "

Yes, Yingjili was different from France ten years ago.

The nobles here had long embraced industrialization.

The factory owners were also nobles. For example, Mister was a lord.

"That's why she's stupid." Wang Quan suddenly laughed. "But she's also cute in a stupid way."

Mister suddenly looked up. "What did you say?"

But the black-haired gentleman opposite him did not answer his question.

The last thing he saw in his life was a pair of black and red eyes.
