"A woman from the rural South presents a huge money order at a restaurant"

"The Jazz Lady Frightens the Tailor with a Money Order"

"Wesson Bank issued a statement: The bill of exchange has been verified to be authentic"

"Her Majesty the Queen of One Hundred Thousand Pounds Visits Loyal Londinium"

…

Frederick sat on the bedside and carefully studied the newspapers of the past few days.

Because the tractor 4S shop is outside the city, he went out on the bicycle borrowed by his boss without breakfast every day these days. He only came back during dinner time. He only knew that Anna had a lot of fun, but he didn't know what exactly he was playing.

Although Anna rented a luxurious apartment, she only held tea parties from noon to afternoon every day. The party ended at 4:30 p.m. and went back to No. 233 Shell Street for dinner.

It was only today that Frederick found out what happened when someone asked him about his relationship with Mrs. Meyer.

Anna put all her new jewelry into the jewelry box and said proudly: "I'm pretty awesome!"

Frederick nodded and said, "It's indeed amazing."

Anna went to bed and sat next to Frederick. She took a newspaper that he had read and said while reading: "My father warned us before his death that the Kingdom of England is the country that needs to be wary of the most."

"There is no peaceful place on the mainland now. They are alone overseas, and they are probably simmering in evil."

"Nowadays, many big nobles go to the World Expo and leave their ladies and ladies behind. You can get a lot of information from them."

Frederick nodded and said: "In recent years, the Royal Family of England has been purchasing large quantities of firearms and steam engines, and trying to imitate them themselves. The progress is no slower than yours."

Nowadays, countries that are pursuing a certain pursuit are trying to imitate Frederick's rise, and imitation of steam engines and firearms is one of the focuses.

But Frederick kept blocking the export of machine tools, and set the price of steam engines so that others could not build them as much as buy them, in order to delay others.

The Osmaga Empire was also among the "others". Anna tried to ask Frederick to relax exports, but Frederick was only willing to increase the number of exported finished products, so he never mentioned it in private again.

Frederick continued: "They seem to have made some achievements in imitation steamships. Please help me find out about the export of ship lumber."

Anna nodded.

She added: "I heard that their royal troops change their uniforms very quickly. Could it be that they want to participate in a certain war?"

Frederick frowned and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

At this time, there was a noise downstairs, and it soon became quiet.

After a while, Anna's maid came up and reported that two thieves wanted to break into the door and steal something, so they were beaten and thrown into the street.

Anna said: "I heard that many places no longer grow food but raise sheep, and many rural people have to go to the city to make a living."

Frederick could only sigh.

In the next few days, the two people's lives were the same as before. Frederick worked in the tractor 4S shop, and Anna's tea party became more and more important as a guest.

On this day, a noble lady who had just returned from the Kingdom of Sardinia came to the tea room. Her best friend was the daughter of the owner of the high-end jewelry store that Anna had emptied. Anna and the other girls and wives listened attentively to her words "Wei Wei". The story of Grand Duke Mori traveling through five cities and performing six miracles.

Anna had previously heard about Frederick performing a miracle to resurrect a couple who died in love, but this was another matter in the eyes of a political creature like her, so she didn't care.

She had never heard of anything else, and was just as amazed as everyone else.

After the story was told, someone asked Anna: "Mrs. Meyer, have you seen Archduke Wessen in Weissenburg before?"

Anna felt a little wary and replied: "I saw Archduke Wesson on the day when the cathedral was capped."

She was right in saying that she had been to Weissenburg when the Germaine Cathedral was topped out.

The man added, "Oh, I thought you were his agents."

Anna thought that someone had indeed asked that, so she said: "That money order was actually given to us by the God of Light."

A group of people around her looked at her curiously, waiting for the next step.

Anna took a sip of tea and said, "That happened when we first arrived in Londinium City."

"That night, when we were going home, the road was dark. There was a robbery in front of us. A gangster snatched an old gentleman's briefcase and ran towards us."

"The gangster saw us in front, roared loudly with such a long knife, got angry, and rushed towards me. My husband hurriedly hugged me and jumped, but hid a few steps away..."

None of the girls or wives around her had ever faced a knife-wielding gangster in person. As Anna spoke with foreign words mixed in from time to time, she couldn't help but become nervous.

"My husband tightly grabbed the hair on top of the gangster's head with his left hand, freed his right hand, raised a fist as big as a hammer, and just punched with all his strength. After five or seventy punches, the gangster's eyes and mouth were , there was blood bursting out of his nose and ears.”

When everyone finally heard that Anna's husband had beaten the gangster to death, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Anna continued: "The old gentleman thanked us for helping him get back the robbed bag, so he took an envelope out of the bag as a thank you gift, and then hurriedly went to take the boat."

"We returned to our residence, opened the envelope, and found the golden money order inside!"

At this time, someone said: "Yeah, there was indeed a fleet that night because a ship had to be repaired and it was delayed until the evening."

"But the passengers on those ships were all small businessmen. They could get a ten and twenty pound bill of exchange, but they certainly couldn't get a bill of that size."

Another person said, "Yes, if you have 100,000 pounds, you can definitely take the same boat with His Royal Highness."

Everyone was talking about it. Anyone with so much money must be a well-known nobleman. Who doesn't have a group of people around him? How could he be robbed by walking alone in a dark alley?

At this time, the answer Anna was waiting for appeared: "Oh, could it be that the God of Light saw that Mr. Meyer was righteous and fearless, so he changed the bill in the envelope into 100,000 pounds?"

This was the only reasonable answer that everyone thought.

Then someone asked, "Mrs. Meyer, what do you plan to do with this money?"

Anna replied, "We want to see what business we can do here."

"This money is too big. We want to invest in some industries, sell them after running them, and take more money home."

The local nobles have already seen that the Meyer couple came from a small family.

Because real nobles buy things by asking merchants to bring goods to their homes to choose and buy them by themselves, unlike Anna who goes to tailor shops and jewelry shops by herself.

Anna knew this very well and did it on purpose.

The young girls and wives present were all in the business circle, and they all offered suggestions.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Anna's maid came to report: "Madam, the master sent a message that he will bring a guest later and host a banquet."

"The master said that if the ladies are free, he hopes they can accept the invitation to attend the banquet."

Everyone was very interested in Mr. Meyer, so they agreed to stay for the dinner.

Half an hour later, the appearance of the handsome Frederick made all the guests' eyes light up.

The guest he brought, Sir John Fitzwilliam, was a typical small landowner, with a chubby figure, two mustaches, and a cunning flash in his eyes from time to time.

Frederick whispered a few words in Anna's ear and then left.

Anna chatted with Fitzwilliam in a familiar way and asked about the situation.

Fitzwilliam came from the north of Sheffield City, more than 200 kilometers away in the north, and his family had several manors.

He said excitedly: "I dug up coal when I was digging a well. It was very thick, as high as a floor!"

The guests didn't know about the coal mining industry. They only heard that the export price of coal was very high now, and they thought that this bumpkin was going to make a fortune.

Anna was thinking, it seems that the Kingdom of Anglan is preparing to grow Wesson Army from the ground?

Frederick came to the kitchen and put the coal sample brought by Fitzwilliam in a dish and lit it.

There are only a few indicators to determine the grade of coal now, mainly how much smoke there is, whether there is any irritating odor, the proportion of residual ash and how much heat can be provided by unit weight of coal.

Frederick can only test the first three at present, which is enough.

After getting the preliminary results, he muttered to himself: "It's difficult. It's not easy to station troops here."
