Chapter 5 - Ploiesti
The next morning, Edel brought his guards to the Standard Oil office in Romania and saw Smith talking to a group of workers in canvas work clothes. As soon as I saw Edel Smith rushed over.
“His Royal Highness, good morning, welcome to you. Do you need to visit our office.” Edel looked at the two-story brick-wood structure with a past life style in front of him.
“Forget it, Smith’s business matters.” “Good Majesty.” Smith turned his head and shouted at the group of workers, “Ready to go, you slackers.” Obviously Smith’s politeness is also to distinguish people.
Soon a group of people came to the railway station and boarded the train to Ploiesti. Edel and the guards were sitting in the additional royal carriage. Obviously this was arranged by the head of the guard Carust. The train started slowly, and Edel looked at the scenery outside the window. The sea made up of mature wheat, breeze blowing and forming golden wheat waves, Edel was very happy to see.
This is my country, and I have the responsibility to lead the kingdom to be strong and prosperous. The sword of the kingdom must obtain enough living space for his people. Edel expressed his ambition in his heart.
Two hours later, Edel and his party arrived in Ploiesti. As the sixth largest city in Romania, Ploiesti has a population of 110,000, which is another small county for Edel, who has memories of past lives.
Eder and his party got off the car and saw the mayor of Ploiesti, Karatuuri, with a group of city officials and nobles greeted His Royal Highness. Needless to say, this is the credit of the chief guard.
“His Royal Highness, welcome to Ploiesti for inspection.” Seeing Edel getting out of the car, the Mayor of Karatuuri stepped forward to greet him. Karituli is 35 years old and has a personable appearance. As the nephew of the prime minister, he naturally has his own channels. For this crown prince, he has also received news from the prime minister, and he is not a master who can fool him. So this time the crown prince came to inspect it can also be said to be relieved, not dare to relax at all.
“Mayor Karatuuri, you go and work on your own, don’t worry about me.” The crown prince obviously does not want to be disturbed. Who will bring a group of officials and nobles to go out to relax?
“Okay, your Royal Highness, if you have anything, please call a guard to inform me to come right away.” Obviously, the mayor is also a transparent person.
Edel nodded and the group left the train station mightily. Watching the crown prince leaving. Karatuuri turned to the police chief and said, “Chief Brewer, I hope the crown prince can see the good side of Ploiesti, do you think so?” “Yes, we will definitely let the crown prince see a good Ploiesti. I promise.” The police chief, who was in his forties and short stature, wiping the sweat from his forehead, promised that the mayor does not only have a good appearance.
“Mayor Karatuuri is the nephew of Prime Minister Sturley. He has been smart and easy to learn since he was a child. Later, he went to study in Paris, France. When he came back, he worked as a secretary in Sturley. He was transferred to Ploiesti five years ago. The mayor, showing very good abilities, is generally considered to be the best young man in the family of Prime Minister Sturley.” Carrust, the chief of the guard in the carriage, told Edel about the mayor’s experience. “It seems that Karatuuri is a very capable person” Edel thought to himself.
Soon Edel and his entourage came to the eastern outskirts of Ploiesti and watched Smith arranging workers to survey the land on a 6-square-kilometer vacant land to prepare for a refinery. “Mill took your team to measure the location of the factory, Willis took yours to the north to survey the oil production site, and the other survey pipeline locations.” Smith’s voice was heard as soon as he walked to the open space.
“His Royal Highness, won’t you take a break?” Smith saw Edel and his party hurriedly ran over and said.
“Busy you, I’m just looking at it. I’ll be leaving in a while” Edel waved to Smith.
“Then I’ll pass, these slackers, you have to kick them in the **** to get the job done.” As he returned to the open space, Smith began to direct the group of workers from the United States.
“Carust, let’s go shopping nearby, there is nothing to see here,” Edel said to the chief guard. “Okay, my lord, I’ll go and arrange it.” The head of the guard Carust still made a serious statement.
Edel sat on the carriage and looked at the busy farmers in the fields by the roadside, and the bear children next to him were playing happily. From time to time, they did various dangerous actions, inviting peasant women to scold and spank, causing them to cry, and to make the adults at work laugh. This beautiful pastoral scenery reminds Edel of the days in his previous life.
In the evening, Edel returned to Ploiesti, “His Royal Highness, Mayor Karatuuli organized a welcome dinner for you. I hope you will participate.” The Chief of Guard Carust said to the crown prince. “Okay, I will be there on time.” Edel replied to his captain of the bodyguard.
At night, when the carriage that Eder was riding in was just at the entrance of the banquet, he saw Mayor Karatuuri with officials and local nobles waiting at the door. As soon as Edel got off the carriage, Mayor Karatuuri came forward and said to Edel. “Welcome your Royal Highness to visit. It is an honor for our Ploiesti people to come.” After speaking, he took Edel into the hall. In the hall, Edel walked to the front desk and raised his glass to face Ploiesti. A group of officials and nobles made a toast. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com “In Ploiesti, I saw that the rich people are living quietly and peacefully. This is inseparable from the fruits of the hard work of everyone present. On behalf of the king, I would like to express my gratitude to you.”
“All for the kingdom, I wish the king good health.” The officials and nobles below replied together.
”Cheers” After drinking this glass of wine, Edel, under the leadership of the mayor of Karaturi, came to the main officials and nobles of Ploiesti. The Mayor of Karatuuri introduced them to Edel in a low voice, and Edel spoke words of encouragement and praise to everyone.
“Mayor Karatuuri, I will tell the king truthfully what I see, you did a great job,” Edel said to the Mayor Karatuuri next to him. “All of this was accomplished under the king’s wise leadership and working hard with my colleagues. I was only coordinating among them.” Mayor Karaturi said modestly. “Don’t be humble, the Mayor of Karatuuri. Coordinating them is the greatest contribution.” Edel secretly drew in. For those who are capable, Edel still wants to get into his team.
“This is what I should do. It is my honor to be able to serve for the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness.” Mayor Karatuuri faced the wooing of the future king, which was an irresistible temptation. “Karaturi, you know, the oil refinery and other facilities will be built here in the past two years. This is the biggest investment of the royal family, and I hope you can help it complete it smoothly.” Edel said slowly. Edel, who is willing to join the team, also showed a sense of intimacy. You don’t need to call the mayor anymore. “Please rest assured, your Highness, I guarantee it will be completed as scheduled.” Karaturi replied affirmatively to Edel. “Complete the refinery here first. I will transfer you to Bucharest. You need your talents.” Edel also said with a vow. Who would have too many capable subordinates.
