A big-faced man who looked like a big Saint Bell looked at Marin with a grimace:

"Your Majesty, my family originally named me Cross, but the town clerical officer in my hometown of Essen had an enmity with my father and deliberately wrote the name on the register as Krupp. And the people in Essen were all flattered. That clerk called me Krupp, and until now, I have not been able to change it..."

Marin was taken aback, and suddenly reacted. Krupp is not a good name in German. Because, in German, Krupp actually means hip. Imagine if you introduce yourself in Chinese-hello everyone, my name is fart...share, taking into account that most people will spray tea and blow rice...

Malin Steel's tea-spraying behavior was also mistaken by the poor Krupp big-breasted brother because he thought his name was funny. But how did he know that it was not that the name was funny, but that the name of later generations was too famous.

I have to say that Huaxia's translation is really good. Don't touch me, I can translate into BMW, the old door can be translated into German, Amei, you can translate into American, which greatly beautifies these terms. And Krupp, in German, originally means hip. As a result, when Lao Li introduced the Krupp cannon, he felt that the cannon was so good that he should give him an arrogant name. Then, the hips translated into a loud Krupp.

Of course, in Germany, this kind of surname is actually not a weird one. Like Marin’s last name, Hoffman, it’s not high class. Because Hoffman means long-term labor.

The ancestor of the Hoffman family was originally a long-term worker in a baron's family in the Mark Country, responsible for raising horses and plowing the land. Later, when he fought with the master, he was canonized by the then Earl Mark as a knight with a territory because of killing the opponent's fierce generals. However, when registering the family surname, because there is no surname, we simply used the previous professional chief job as the surname name.

In addition, the name Kohler, in German, means to go to school. Obviously, Kohler's parents originally wanted him to be a chaperone when he grew up.

The Krupp brothers, who are like thunder-faced men, are also unlucky. His father Gross planned to name him Cross (Rose), which sounds quite romantic. As a result, because old Gross had a bad temper, he had a fight with Clerk Fox, and he almost crushed Mr. Fox's waist with his ass. Fox held a grudge, remembering his butt-kill. Therefore, when registering the name of Gross's son, he deliberately registered as Krupp. Moreover, he also used his relationship to publicize the kid's name as Krupp (buttocks) in Essen, and confirmed the name of Brother Xiaoke.

Therefore, Krupp's hometown of Essen has also been unable to look up. When others call him, they always look under him unconsciously, as if his hips are huge.

In fact, Krupp is in a good family. Lao Zi Gross is a well-known blacksmith in Essen and has a certain influence in the local handicraft guild. However, he was targeted because he offended the clerical officer of the more powerful city hall. Although the clerical officer can't take him anything, he can still do it to ruin the reputation of their family. Old Gross couldn't fight back either. After all, it is necessary to be imprisoned if you do something with the people in the city hall. In addition, because old Gross had a bad temper and offended many people, there was no one from the city council to help him speak.

When he was a child, Krupp's big breasted brother grew up in the eyes of being laughed at. When he grew up, because he was always ridiculed by fellow city residents, he simply left his hometown and went outside. It happened that Marin needed a large number of blacksmiths to run the Krumhern Iron and Steel Plant, so he was recruited.

Originally, he wanted to hide his name, at least, to change to a nice name. But unfortunately, he was recruited to the steel plant, his fellow Essen. When people know him and register his name, it is not easy to be fooled.

Seeing Brother Xiaoke's grievances because of the name problem, Marin laughed happily. But after laughing, Marin said sternly:

"Krupp, the name is just a code name. The important thing is what you do, not what you are called. Moreover, I think the name Krupp is also quite good. By the way, Krupp is your name. Or is it the last name?"

Brother Xiao Ke replied in a muffled voice:

"Back to your Majesty, our family is not a descendant of nobles and has no surname. Krupp is my name."

Marin suddenly came in interest:

"Or, you will be called Thyssen Krupp in the future, and the Krupp family will be established in the future..."

Krupp opened his mouth, as if he wanted to object. At this time, Stephen, the director of the Krumhern Iron and Steel Plant, gave him a slap in the face:

"Stupid boy, what do you want? Your majesty gave you a surname, you are going to be developed!"

Although Krupp’s surname is not good, the monarch’s surname is an honor that can be blown up by the descendants of the family. Moreover, since Marin gave him a surname, he would not just pass by. Maybe, it will give him a big chance. If you dare to refuse, Marin will lose face, not to mention whether it will be bad luck, but there will definitely be no future in the future.

Krupp thought for a while and figured it out. He just instinctively resisted the term Krupp at first, but thinking of the consequences, he didn't accept it and had to accept it.

...

"The Krupp family will always be loyal to your majesty and your blood!" The young man was not stupid, and soon adjusted his mentality and became loyal to Marin.

"Well, you can teach you a child. Director Stephen, how is this young guy's business abilities?"

Stephen thought for a while and said:

"The younger generation is top-notch. He comes from a family of blacksmiths. From a young age, his father taught him literacy and knows some calculations. The blacksmith's skills are not bad, and he can manage a little bit. He can manage a workshop by himself..."

"Top-notch among the younger generation? Okay... Then, Mr. Krupp, would you help me build a new steel plant near Essen?"

"Build a steel plant in Essen?" The newly-recent Mr. Thyssen Krupp looked dumbfounded.

After thinking about it, Krupp asked:

"Your Majesty, the funding problem is easy to solve, but where do the craftsmen come from to build the steel plant? Are they drawn from Krumhern?"

Stephen waved his hand immediately:

"No, no, I don't have enough manpower on my side. I can support you at most a few big craftsmen. Also, I have to pay you back."

"Then where did I come from to build a steel plant..." Krupp was very aggrieved.

After taking a sip of tea, Ma Lin said leisurely:

"You can go to Essen to recruit a blacksmith..."

Essen is not an ordinary small city. This city is located on the north bank of the Ruhr River. There are large coal mines and convenient water transportation, which is conducive to the transportation of iron ore.

Moreover, Essen itself has a coal mining industry since the 14th century, with a history of more than 100 years. Moreover, the original iron handicraft industry has also developed. There are more than 30 blacksmith shops in the city. His father Cross was just a member of the guild of blacksmiths.

The blacksmith industry in Essen is currently mainly for making swords and farm tools, and there are also several companies that can make matchlocks. According to the original history, in the 16th century, this area will develop into an important weapon town, and it will be able to make artillery in the future.

However, in this time and space, Marin took all the land around Essen into his bag, encircling the imperial city of Essen.

However, people in the city of Essen just refused to turn to Marin and were very independent. But Essen is right next to Marin’s hometown of BochumHow can Marin allow an uncontrolled weapons manufacturing base on the edge of his hometown? What's more, most of the weapons manufactured by Essen were sold to the princes of the German countries, and many of those people were Marin's enemies.

Therefore, Essen, who was first, was a thorn in Marin's eyes. But due to its status as an imperial city, it can also be said in the imperial parliament. Therefore, Marin cannot blatantly annex.

No, I saw this guy named Krupp, and he was born in Essen, and still resents his hometown of Essen... Well, it's you! To set up a Krupp steel plant to produce steel, and to produce artillery in the future... All the blacksmiths in Essen were hired with high salaries. In this way, Essen lost the foundation of weapons manufacturing as a pillar industry and declined. It is inevitable...

Then, within a few days, Mr. Krupp, the shaggy-faced man, took the big blacksmiths supported by Stephen and various materials, went south to Essen, preparing to build a brand new one on the banks of the Ruhr on the edge of Essen. The Krupp Steel Plant, dedicated to tapping Essen’s iron talents, took Essen’s path, leaving Essen with nowhere to go. In the end, forcing them to surrender to Marin...
