Chapter 864: El Suddenly Gets Rich (Part 2)

"Mr. Bernard?"

Oleg looked at El who suddenly appeared in the musket department with a surprised face.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to give you money."

"Give you money?"

As soon as Oleg's doubtful voice fell, El opened the big box in his hand and poured out everything inside.

The box was filled with stacks of banknotes.

Looking at the pile of banknotes in front of them, all the craftsmen, including Oleg, were immediately stunned.

"Mr. Bernard." Oleg pointed at the mountain of money with a look of surprise and asked El, "What is this money?"

"These are research funds." El replied, "There are a total of 12 million nars here, use them as you like, don't be polite. This money should be enough for us to use for a while."

"You should know that the war broke out in the west now."

"I was very unfortunate to be called up."

"I couldn't show up here for a long time afterwards."

"So-I pulled my good brother here, and he will help everyone develop muskets for a period of time later."

After that, El shouted behind him:

"Gabriel, come in."

As soon as El finished speaking, a deep male voice rang out:

"El, your musket department is really shabby. Any blacksmith shop on the street may be bigger than your musket department."

A sturdy man walked slowly into the musket department.

Because the big man was so strong, he blocked all the light coming in from the entrance of the musket department when he walked into it.

"This is my good brother - Gabriel Galan." El introduced the strong man to the craftsmen, "He will help you develop muskets for a period of time in the future."

Because he was called up and forced to go to the western battlefield, El could not come to the musket department to supervise the work for a long time in the future.

Therefore - Ella got a helper to help him assist and supervise the work of the musket department.

The helper that Ella came with was naturally his good brother Gabriel, who had a different father and a different mother.

In the "Iron Hammer" battle that just ended not long ago, Gabriel assisted El, so after the war, Gabriel also received a promotion reward, and was promoted one level, from a third-class general to a second-class general.

Gabriel was not called up this time, so Gabriel did not need to go to the western front and could continue to stay in the imperial capital.

So El brought Gabriel, who didn't need to go to the front line, to the Musket Department and asked Gabriel to help him supervise the work of the Musket Department during his absence from the imperial capital.

Gabriel agreed to El's request very readily. After all, he was idle anyway, and he was happy to do something to kill time.

After briefly introducing Gabriel to the craftsmen, El said to Gabriel seriously:

"Gabriel, I'll leave this place to you during my absence from the imperial capital."

"Okay, go to the front line without worry." Gabriel laughed heartily a few times, "If I can't manage such a small place well, I will retire and stop being a general!"

After hearing Gabriel's joke, El's mouth corners slightly curled up, revealing a few smiles.

"Hearing you say that." El raised his hand and knocked on Gabriel's chest,

"I feel relieved."

El turned his head and said to the only three craftsmen in the musket department:

"Everyone, I have to prepare to go with the army, so I'm leaving first."

"During the time I'm not here, you should treat Gabriel as me. You must work hard and don't slack off."

After instructing the craftsmen, El hurriedly left and returned to the imperial capital to prepare to go with the army.

Only Gabriel and the pile of money were left in the musket department.

After El left, Oleg carefully greeted their new boss:

"That... Mr. Galen..."

However, before he finished speaking, Gabriel waved his hand:

"No need to call me sir! Just call me Gabriel!"

"Then... Gabriel, I want to ask - where did Mr. Bernard get all this money?"

After that, Oleg pointed to the mountain of money at Gabriel's feet.

Although Oleg and the others didn't know much about El, they knew that he was just a first-class quartermaster in the army.

As a first-class quartermaster, El, even if he didn't eat or drink for several years and relied on military pay alone, it would be impossible to save so much money...

As soon as Oleg finished speaking, Gabriel immediately replied:

"That's a good question!"

"Because - I don't know either."

"Huh?" Oleg and the others looked at Gabriel in surprise.

"I'm actually wondering where El got all this money." Gabriel continued while stroking his stubble on his chin, "As far as I know, the teacher only allocated 8 million from his savings to El."

"But El has now taken out a full 12 million..."

"I really don't know where El got the extra 4 million..."

"Forget it, never mind."

Gabriel shrugged.

"We don't need to care where the money comes from."

"We just need to focus on how to use it well."

"El has been smart since he was a child."

"When I lived with him in the slums, he and I relied on his brain and my strength to successfully gain a foothold in the slums and live a good life. Later, we successfully picked up Camille."

"All this money should be earned by El with his smart mind and through some methods."

"Okay, let's stop chatting here."

After that, Gabriel clapped his hands.

"Today is the first time I meet you all."

"I am a general in the army, and I have commanded troops."

"According to my management experience, it is very important to build good relationships with subordinates!"

"So!" Gabriel said, picking up a pile of banknotes at his feet, "I propose that we don't work today! Let's go to the tavern and drink until tomorrow morning. It won't be too late to work after we get to know each other. What do you think?"

As soon as Gabriel's proposal came out, the eyes of the three craftsmen led by Oleg lit up immediately.

Few Xilan people can resist the temptation of alcohol.

"Oh! This proposal is great!"

"That's right! Let's go!"

"Drink, drink!"

...

Gabriel and the only three craftsmen in the musket department left the musket department happily and walked towards the nearest bar with a cheerful pace.

The development progress of the musket today is - no progress...
