"Aha, my dear William, why are you here? Whoops, is this baronial?" The person in front of him was really surprised by Shi Xiong, and even the tone of his speech changed. Of course, the medal pinned on the chest of the man in front of him made Shi Xiong recognize at a glance that it was a medal representing the British Baronship.

Major Hank, oh no, he should be called "Baron Hank" now, and he came over with a big smile, and hugged the stone bear, "Respected guardian, oh no, I am now You should be called your respected Chief Chief, and I am also very happy to see you again."

The two old men who had been apart for a year and a half finally met again. Originally, Shi Xiong thought he would never see this guy again, but Hank did not expect that Hank would actually come back, and he came back like a dog.

After letting go of Hank, Shi Xiong looked at this guy up and down, with a constant smile on his face.

Obviously, the former major officer of the Royal British Empire is doing very well now, at least it can be seen from the clothes he wears. Especially the medal that represents the baroniality, it proves that Hank has completed this gorgeous turn very beautifully.

Seeing Shi Xiong’s gaze on his chest, Hank said sincerely: “My Chief Chief, I’m able to receive honors from His Majesty the King. Thanks to your support. If it weren’t for the drawings and drawings you gave me. Technology, I don’t have such an identity now. The drawings and technologies of textile machinery that you provided to me have allowed me to gain a firm foothold in China and gain a lot of wealth in a short period of time. His Majesty thinks that I am I have made a great contribution to the textile industry of the empire. This was only two months ago when I was knighted. Although it was only a baron, it was a hereditary knighthood. I really didn’t expect that I would have William Hank. Such a day. Chief, I really want to thank you!"

"Well, we don't need to say such kind words. I guess you haven't eaten yet? It just so happens that I just prepared a few good dishes, and I will go in and drink two mouthfuls."

Hank nodded with a smile, "It's been a long time since I have eaten the food you cooked by yourself, I've been thinking about it for a long time!"

Two people laughed and walked into the house, helping each other.

Green Skylark saw his own man walk in with a blond Vasichu, and stood up with a big belly, naturally it was another greeting.

Shi Xiong brought out the two dishes that Green Skylark liked most, and let her go in the house to eat. Then he picked up two more dishes, then took out the white wine and sat down and drank with Hank.

"Chief, I have brought you a lot of good things when I came this time. Well, there are more than a dozen talents that I think are useful to you." After it was over, Hank took the initiative to talk about the purpose of this visit.

"Oh? Who are there? Can you tell me?" Shi Xiong asked with interest. For the materials Hank brought, Shi Xiong did not expect much. After all, in this era, even Europe does not have any good new materials. And Shi Xiong's four great alchemists, under Shi Xiong's guidance, had long since produced a lot of things that are not even available in Europe.

Therefore, Shixiong is not looking forward to some materials in Europe.

But for some European talents, Shi Xiong is really looking forward to it. After all, as the stall on his side is now getting bigger and bigger, Shi Xiong deeply understands the huge shortcomings caused by insufficient manpower. Even if the four great alchemists are full of iron, how many nails can they hit?

What Shi Xiong most expects now is some related talents.

Obviously, Hanke has not forgotten the mission that Shixiong confided to him at the beginning. He brought more than a dozen talents to Shixiong this time, all of whom can be called "scientists" and "scientists". "Alchemist" people.

The difference between a scientist and an alchemist in this era is not that big...

"Well, over the past year or so, I have searched for many alchemists who have difficulty living in the UK and the mainland. Most of them are talents similar to the four alchemists under your hand. They know a lot, but they have a lot of money. Shy, there are a few who even have problems eating, so I gathered them up and brought them all for you this time."

"Also, these people have expressed their willingness to live with you for a long time. As long as they can eat and drink enough, they can live with you for a long time. I think you can definitely meet their requirements?"

Shi Xiong laughed and said, "As long as the people you bring are really capable, what is it to make them eat and drink? As long as they are really willing to work for me, they can even bring all their families here. I guarantee that their living conditions here are a hundred times better than they are at home!"

After a pause, Shi Xiong pointed to the sumptuous food and beverages on the table in front of him and said: "Just like these things, I guarantee they can eat and drink every day! How about these conditions?"

Hanke smiled and said, "Don't say it's them for this condition, even I don't want to go back!"

This is not Hank's nonsense. The situation in European countries is not very good now. As the two most powerful countries in Europe, Great Britain and France have just finished a Seven Years War. This war left two countries with scars, and it was the ordinary people who suffered.

Although Shixiong is far away in the New World, the living conditions here are really better than those of ordinary people in European countries. It is not an exaggeration to say that as far as the dozen or so people Hank brought, they came here~lightnovelpub.net~ it was like a mouse fell into the rice tank!

Hank said: "Chief, among the people who came this time there is a very special guy. That guy is Geddy Roy. He used to work in a laboratory in London. It seems to be given to a guy named Henry Cavendy. Xu’s person has been an assistant for a long time. But because he made a mistake when doing an experiment, it caused a fire, so he was expelled from the laboratory, and all his property They were all used to compensate for the damage caused by the fire. When I met Roy, he could say that he had nothing. But he said that he was proficient in something called electricity, and I didn’t know what it was. Seeing what he said was quite the same, I brought him too."

Hank's words made Shi Xiong stand up excitedly, "William, what are you saying is true? You said that Gedy Roy really did it for a guy named Henry Cavendish for a long time. Assistant?"

Hank was taken aback by Stone Bear’s actions, but he immediately nodded with certainty: “It shouldn’t be fake. I investigated Roy later, and his experience is indeed not different from what he told himself. , So I can safely bring him here."

These words made Shi Xiong flushed with excitement again...
