The smell of disinfectant wafted from a plain house, and the servants kept bringing out the dirty water red with stained blood one by one, and then exchanged it for new clean water. It took three hours for the doctor from Sur to help Caesar heal his wounds. However, Caesar's injury was still not optimistic, because the injury was not properly treated, and it was delayed for a long time, and the skin near the wound was infected.

The doctor treated the dead muscles and gave him antibiotics. But whether we can survive or not will have to survive tonight. However, Caesar's physique is very good, and the source power in his body has never disappeared, although they are consumed a lot in the fight against the virus, they still tenaciously protect the important organs and tissues in Caesar's body. As a result, the doctor was still relatively optimistic about Caesar's condition, and after Allen sent the doctor away, he asked Father Miró to take care of Caesar.

Alan didn't think about Caesar for the time being, as long as he woke up, he would naturally know the reason. As some daily necessities were delivered one after another, the house gradually had the breath of life. Alan stood in front of the window and watched Lucy and Vera leave together to visit the market in Sur City. Adele played the true character of the eldest lady and directed the soldiers to send things into the house.

He smiled slightly, everyone had begun to integrate into the world of this planet, as long as they controlled Sur City in their hands, it would be difficult for anyone to dig out their identities. This is followed by expansion and accumulation, and only when the strength is strong enough will there be more resources and manpower to achieve the goal of reconnecting with the planet. Looking at the afterglow of the sunset that dyed the city golden, Alan was confident that he could do it.

Before the sun had completely set, Edward returned. He changed into a dress, which was the dress for the dinner. At the same time, he also brought back a well-fitting dress for Allen, and after Allen changed into it, he rode in the carriage assigned by Baron Ethan and passed through the busy streets to the City Lord's Mansion.

The huge restaurant in the City Lord's Mansion is lit up only in the area near the meal. The sconces on both sides and the candlesticks hanging vertically from the ceiling give the food on the table a golden color. It's just that there is obviously not much food on the table, and it can even be described as plain. There is no problem with being a homely meal, but it can be used to entertain guests, and it seems a little stingy.

One minute after the arrival of the two Ellens, Ethan arrived. Along the way, there were constant discussions with several secretaries and some work arrangements. When he saw Allen, he waved the secretaries away, then sat down on the main seat and said, "I'm sorry, you two. Now I know that there is too much work for the city lord. There are so many things that need to be taken care of, so I'm keeping you guys waiting. ”

"It doesn't matter, the busier the baron, the happier the inhabitants of the city. It is a great honour to be part of the residents of Sur. Alan smiled, his every move was in line with etiquette, even by the strictest set of aristocratic etiquette, he was absolutely impeccable.

You know, he didn't take a series of aristocratic etiquette training courses in Babylon.

Ethan's whole body was the same as before, and his lean face looked as if it would glow. He laughed and said, "Young Master Allen is far younger than I imagined. ”

Alan smiled slightly, "Many people say that, including some of my enemies. But in the end, they all regretted that they despised me because of their youth. ”

Ethan nodded: "Young Master Allen does have extraordinary means. ”

He also said: "You see, my time is a little tight, and I still have to deal with some Wen Jiàn in the meeting, so we talked while eating." Oh, and because I'm an advocate of frugality, the kitchen is a little simpler tonight. Master Allen, don't you have an appetite, or I'll ask the chef to make some more? ”

"No, that's good." Alan elegantly cuts a small slice of bread with a knife and brings it to his mouth to chew, always smiling like a spring breeze.

"I'm a pragmatic person, so I won't say anything superfluous." Ethan wiped out the food in front of him and said, "There are two main things about inviting you to dinner tonight. Let's start with the first thing, according to our contract, my daughter Nilou needs to marry Master Ellen. I will never regret this, so I want to see when Master Allen will take care of this marriage? ”

Before he arrived, Edward had warned him that Ethan would be discussing his marriage to Nilou. Alan had already made up his mind, and when he saw Ethan say it directly, he said, "Regarding this matter, I plan to deal with it like this." ”

He looked at Edward and said, "This gentleman must be a familiar to the Baron, and yes, Mr. Edward is my most capable assistant." And he had told me more than once that he had spoken of his affection for Miss Nilou, and if the Baron had not objected, I would like to bring about a good thing between the two of them. ”

Ethan glanced at Edward unexpectedly, originally a marriage like this was naturally the best to keep Nilou in his own hands. But Allen let Edward replace him, and from beginning to end, Ethan only regarded Edward as Allen's agent. But what Eren said tonight made him think highly of Edward. He nodded, "There is an item in the contract that you can specify who to marry, if this is the decision of Young Master Allen...... Of course. ”

Edward stood up, bowed to Ethan, and said, "I'll treat Miss Nilou well." ”

So the matter was settled, and the wedding was finalized on the last Sunday of the month.

"Then the second thing is the position of the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce." Ethan said indifferently: "It is not difficult to recommend Young Master Allen to become the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, but it is difficult to avoid one thing, after all, Young Master Allen is too unfamiliar to many people, and rashly sitting in this position may attract criticism." So you see, isn't it more appropriate for me to announce this decision when Young Master Allen makes some achievements? ”

"Sir Ethan, please don't worry about that." Edward said, "Soon, we will give the Baron an opportune moment. ”

Ethan looked at Eren and smiled, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

The next day, Edward asked Ethan for some blacksmiths in the city. So all the blacksmiths in Sur gathered into Allen's house, and each of them was given a drawing of metal that they had never seen before. Each drawing was marked with detailed dimensions and detailed requirements, and Alan gave them a week. If it is completed within the time limit as specified in the drawing, they will receive an additional reward.

This greatly stimulated the blacksmiths' mobility, and although they did not know what the objects were for, each of them turned the things on the drawings into physical objects as quickly as possible. Beginning on Friday, the finished products were delivered to Allen, and by Sunday night, after the last component had arrived, Lucy began to install them.

Vera was beside her, drawing something else on paper with a paintbrush. That's a kind of machine, strictly speaking, it's an automatic weaving machine. As for the one Lucy is installing, it is a simple semi-automatic machine. These are all from Vera. Alan stood behind her, looking at the automatic loom on the drawing, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's a shame that you know the blueprints of these things, otherwise I really don't know how to reform the current situation of the handicraft industry in Sur City." ”

"In the past, when I read about the industrial history of mankind, I turned over some information by the way, and I wrote it down." Vera said lightly.

Alan couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't you have read the history of the war?" ”

Vera raised her head and said with a calm face: "I haven't seen the design of the chariot or anything." ”

Alan laughed dryly, and Lucy clapped her hands and said, "It's done." ”

That night, the world's first semi-automatic weaving machine, qì, was quietly born in the small border town of Sur. It also requires manual operation, and it also requires constant practice and adjustment. However, its appearance means that the textile industry in Sur City has officially developed from manual to mechanized.

Over the next few days, several textile mill owners, including Sean, secretly visited the machine and saw for themselves how it was woven into cloth instead of the outdated hand. Although the resulting fabric is not delicate and tightly textured, and the pattern is extremely limited, its work efficiency is far from being comparable to that of hand. It is conceivable that when this machine is perfected, it will bring a revolution in the textile industry.

In fact, its influence will also spread to other fields, after all, it has shown people that machinery is far from comparable to human productivity.

After the owners left, they approached the blacksmith who had made the parts for Alan that day. Unfortunately, these blacksmiths have drawings in their hands, but even if someone collects all the components, they don't know how to install them. So in this era when there was no concept of patents, Allen sued them for what was a trade secret.

Soon, Allen introduced the semi-automatic loom to the public and invited Sir Ethan to name it. Ethan called it "Kross", a celestial deity known according to local legend for his ornate weaving of ornate garments.

This month is destined to be a turbulent month for the city of Sur, but also the harvest season.

After the discovery of the Krosis loom, Allen, a merchant with a mysterious origin, generously donated the machine to the local workshop free of charge, and was willing to publish its details, thus helping the city of Sur to fully enter the stage of mechanized production. In making this important decision, the young businessman said, "Now, I will share with you the secrets and efforts of my family. The aim is to make life better for everyone in Sur City, and it is conceivable that in the near future, the textiles of Sur City will be famous throughout the Empire. When the time comes, others will come here, and they will be desperate to dig up our secrets. Once someone else has mastered Kross, then it will not be so easy for everyone to make money. ”

"For our sake, please keep Kross' secret."

On that day, all the cotton spinning workers in the city signed their names on the oath of oath called Kross, and were willing to keep the secret of the loom for the benefit of the city and themselves. In the list of signatories of the treaty, the first name is Alan. This name represents the first mark he left in this world! R1058
