Chapter 407 Returning Home

The Duke is going back to the Northern Province to celebrate the New Year this year!!!

The news spread as fast as if it had legs.

The Northern Province is not far away, and the train has been connected for a long time. It shouldn't be so sensational.

But on the eve of the establishment of the empire, Derek's every move is full of deep meaning.

At least many people will exaggerate and think too much.

And regardless of whether there is deep meaning or not, the Northern Province, as the place where the Northern nobles started, must not let down the chain.

The news has not been confirmed yet, and the Northern Province has already started to move up and down.

The military and police went out together and swept the market first.

Even the local hooligans knew that they should go back to their nests at this time.

Each family began to concentrate on educating their children, so don't think about running around during the New Year.

Derek didn't pay attention to these. He finished his work, and this trip home was both a private and official matter.

It was just that the officials of the Duke's mansion had to accompany him on the trip.

Fortunately, before the New Year, the first automobile factory in the north, which was not known to the public, rushed to produce the first batch of mass-produced cars.

When little Tru heard that he was going back to his hometown, he hurried over and prepared to take a ride in the Duke's motorcade.

The naive country boy back then has now married and had children, and has achieved success.

If you want to say who is the first to experience the latest technological achievements of the principality, in fact, Derek is not the first, it must be this guy Tru.

Of course, it can also be called an experiment.

So little Tru's driving skills are great, and this time he volunteered to drive for the Duke.

After getting off the train, he went straight to Ferreira without stopping.

However, after a long time of novelty, Tiona couldn't stand it and got on the carriage again.

Although cars are new things, they are still not as comfortable as carriages.

The carriage manufacturing technology of the Northern Principality has reached a peak, and it is difficult to break through.

And the carriage is more spacious, much better than the newly born car.

Only Derek stayed in the car, chatting with Little Tru as they walked.

When Tiona was there just now, Little Tru didn't dare to look around, for fear of causing misunderstanding.

He was familiar with the Duke and met her every month, but he was not familiar with the Duchess.

Compared with several loyal old team members, his position and identity were destined to be more distant.

After Tiona left, he became more nervous, fearing that his poor driving skills would offend the Duchess.

He knew too well the power of pillow talk.

Derek saw how nervous he was, and couldn't guess why.

Fortunately, when talking about professional issues, Little Tru was no longer nervous.

"How is your research going?"

"It's going smoothly, but several pilots have died in the crash. It's not stable at the moment, and endurance is a problem."

Little Tru admired the Duke's wonderful ideas very much. Of course, he thought it was forbidden knowledge brought down by the saint.

But when it comes to specific matters, he also feels a sense of accomplishment.

The sky has always been the domain of God, and it is a taboo place in religious descriptions.

Now the Principality can also set foot in the forbidden area of ​​God, doesn't it mean...

"We must hurry up on this matter, it is very important to us, and do a good job of settling the pilots who died, so as not to let people down."

Derek kept talking, he would not care so much about ordinary things, but the airplane was different.

Of course, with the technical accumulation of the Northern Principality, it can't be said to be forced to start.

The early aircraft technology was just so-so. Since the diesel engine was developed, he has been thinking about this matter.

Let's not talk about practicality, at least it should fly.

However, after experiments, plus Derek's little experience, he tried to find new fuel from petroleum extracts.

Finally, even the engine was demolished and rebuilt.

Derek can no longer understand the technical problems.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the technicians can understand it.

For such a big country, it is unrealistic to think of a great leap forward with just a few words, and it depends on a little accumulation.

Little Tru could talk about various technologies. He might not be proficient in them, but he had some understanding of them.

Along the way, he could give Derek a good lesson and let him have an understanding of the current technological level of the country.

After a long time of groaning, he finally arrived at the place.

There were not many civilians along the way, but local troops showed up like a relay race, and a large number of northern nobles followed the convoy.

The Duke finally came back once, and no one was willing to give up the opportunity to show up.

Although the northern nobles had the best political resources and were in a much better situation than ten years ago, people were greedy and would definitely want better.

When Ferreira's second brother wanted to seek a position, he could only hang out in the army. This was related to the fact that he was not the heir, but it also showed the difficulties of the northern nobles.

Now, the second son of a northern baron, at least he would start from the deputy regiment level when he entered the army, which was the political status.

Derek had no way to prevent this.

People are not machines and cannot abandon all emotions.

Moreover, the government is full of Northern nobles, and they are all descendants. Isn't it possible that they are not taking advantage?

Without the Northern nobles, there are still the royal nobles. Nothing has actually changed. It's just a change of people and skin.

Moreover, it is impossible that there is no gap between the Northern nobles. It's nothing more than maintaining a balance.

In this regard, Derek is better than any king.

Therefore, he did not stop this behavior and allowed the descendants of the northern nobles to follow the convoy. This was also a manifestation of dominance.

When they arrived at Ferreira Castle, the family foundation built by their ancestors a hundred years ago, Derek got off the car.

A large number of internal guards had already blocked the surroundings. The nobles who were rarely seen in the past were standing in a circle like minions.

Those with lower status could not even see the faces of the Duke's family.

Only some old families could get to the front.

For example, the Perez family, the Duchess's family, and the Kroro family, where the Minister of the Army came from.

Some knights and barons in the early years had already developed with the Northern Principality.

Although the northern province is not large, it has the most nobles and the strongest power.

A large number of nobles have spread all over the country, and some have simply settled there.

But when it comes to roots, they are still in the northern province.

At this time, they all have to rush back and show their faces in front of the Duke.

A bunch of familiar faces made Derek feel like he was still in Plan City.

Baron and Baron Ferreira also greeted him outside the castle.

Although they were Derek's parents, the rules of this world were like this, a subject is a subject, and a father is a father.
