Law of the Devil Chapter 264: [Such conditions]
Chapter 264 [Such conditions]
At night, Dewey asked Mad to decorate a small banquet hall and let the kitchen prepare some beautiful dishes. Early in the restaurant, waiting for the marquise.
When the servant pushed open the door and led Mrs. Liszt in, looking at the woman who came in, Du Wei couldn't help but glared.
Mrs. Liszt's elegant smile, a red evening dress on her body, set off her like a beautiful rose. The graceful cut style reveals her slender waist completely, but her graceful manners, but with a young girl's face, seem to be pure and mature, these two completely different charms and complex And it fits perfectly on her. With such a devil's figure, plus his perfect face, and that charming demeanor, Dewey was instantly lost.
Miss Lisz looked at Dewey with a smile, and her body was full of gifts, and said gently, "Master, am I late?"
Du Wei coughed slightly, stood up, opened her chair and smiled, "No, but I just saw my wife's charming style, and I was a bit disoriented."
Mrs. Liszt gave Du Wei a glance, her eyes filled with a resentful grievance, whispered: "I am afraid the Lord Duke is insincere, I have been in the Northwest for so long, you are the first Invited me to dinner alone. "
Dou Wei turned his head, pretended to get the bottle on the table, avoiding Mrs. Lister's eyes, and waved the waiters in the room out.
When the door was closed, Du Wei stood calmly beside Mrs. Liszt and filled her with a glass of wine. Then she laughed: "Mrs. This is to blame me for neglecting the noble guest again. Preach it out. If the nobles of the emperor know that I dare to neglect our first beauty of the Roland Empire, I am afraid I will be drowned. /
Du Wei then stepped back to his seat and held up his glass. He said, "I respect Madam first. I only want to apologize for the neglect of the beauty."
Mrs. Liszt smiled. The two raised their glasses and motioned, and Dewey drank. Mrs. Lister just tasted it.
Du Wei then poured himself a second glass of wine, and smiled again: "This second glass is to wish my wife beautiful and eternal, and my tulip family and Liszt family will be good forever."
The Marquise giggled, and this second cup drank slightly more.
Du Wei pours the wine again and raises it again: "The third drink, I thank you ... Dada Neil told me ..."
Wait for Du Wei to finish. Mrs. Liszt interrupted him with a mouthful opening. The beauty covered her mouth gently, and gave Du Wei a glance, her eyes were charming, and her voice was as soft as dripping water: "Duchess. You're still Yes, it's not like you want to drunk me. "
"Where!" Du Wei's face did not change color, as if not being deterred by the other party's glory: "The third cup is to express my gratitude to you, thank you for giving me a good idea. Well. This You do n’t have to drink a cup, I ’ll just drink it myself. "
After three glasses of wine fell, Du Wei could not help but take a breath, then put down the glass, looked at the marquise, and said, "Actually, besides gratitude, I admire the talent of my wife. I also admire her very much. Yes, if it ’s not your idea, I do n’t know how long I have a headache. ”
The Marquise pouted a smile, and then said lightly: "Master Duke is so clever, what can be hard for you? I'm afraid I made up my mind and laughed generously. I just hope you don't blame me for talking. I will be fine. I understand how much knowledge I have as a woman ’s family, so I am a bit arrogant. It ’s not easy to speak directly. I can only ask Master Dardanelle to do it for me. ”
"I am so impressed by your wife's heart." Du Wei said so calmly.
The Marquise suddenly stared at Dewey with a pair of eyes. The eyes were flowing, in the dim, with deep meaning, which made Du Wei feel a little bit anxious, but this time without waiting for him to jump off the topic, the Marquise had already smiled and said, "I want to invite you tonight, Lord Duke. Having dinner together is for this matter. If it weren't for you, would you just ignore me? "
Du Wei coughed, smiled, and was about to speak ...
"Well, Lord Duke." Mrs. Liszt thought for a moment and had to admit that her action was really charming, and it took Dewey a lot of perseverance to look away. "Master Duke ... if you still want to say thank you, then you don't have to, if you really want to express your gratitude, then I want you to ask for one thing, I wonder if you can agree?"
Du Wei's heart suddenly broke ... wouldn't he ask for marriage again? Well, it shouldn't.
"As long as I can do it." Du Wei sighed, but said the words first.
The Marquise smiled, and glanced at Du Wei with a charming look. There was a bit of playful meaning in the eyes, which meant: I knew you would say that.
"You can rest assured that what I am asking for is not difficult. You can definitely do it."
Du Wei's heart was sorrowful, and suddenly she regretted it quite a bit: I'm good at it, why do I have trouble asking this woman for dinner? When it was really daytime, my head was dizzy.
Staying with this woman alone can feel the kind of glamour and heart-warming charm on the other side.
"You must also know. My Liszt family is a family of merchants, although I ... well, although my life is hard, my husband died prematurely, Your Majesty has mercy on me, and gave me the title of Marquise. But it is only for life The knighthood of the system must not be hereditary. "The marquise whispered softly:" My Liszt family is not a noble lord, and therefore has no own territory. Before, I did not like liveliness, and I was not tired of those people who were in the imperial capital. For headaches, I have always lived in my home in the north. Although my Liszt family has no territory, after all these years, after all, there are still some foundations. In the north, there is a castle estate. In addition, there are two farms. On weekdays, it is nothing but It's a disguise, and the farm is also the place where the White Feather Knights are stationed for military training. "
Du Wei was relieved when she heard about her family affairs suddenly. Just wondering.
"... Master Duke, you know, my Liszt family started with maritime trade, but in recent years, the military expenditure of the Empire has been reduced. Has the Nanyang expedition not been carried out for several years. I am observing Prince Chen ’s policy, I'm afraid that there will be a deliberate reduction in military expenditures. I am afraid that in the short term, the empire will not use the Nanyang. Above this Nanyang, there is not much potential for the current trade profits to be tapped. Without the support of the Imperial Expeditionary Forces, I am afraid that in the next few years, more It's unprofitable. I'm determined to gradually reduce this maritime trade. "Speaking of this, she gave a slight pause and gave Du Wei a deliberate look. Slowly pick up the glass and take a sip gently. She had Bai Ning's jade-like face on her face, and when she was steamed by the wine, she immediately seemed to be stained with rouge. Eye waves are even more intoxicating.
I'm afraid the so-called "smoke is beautiful", that's it.
Du Wei cleared her throat and slowly said: "Mrs. has such a determination and is admirable. Nanyang trade is huge, but the wife can look to the future and know that she can accept it, which is beyond ordinary people's eyes."
The Marquise giggled, then gave Du Wei a glance again: "Master Duke. Don't say the words of praise too early. I'll say the words later, I'm afraid you will frown."
Du Wei groaned for a while, took the glass and took a sip: "Mrs., what you just said you want me to do ... is it related to your family business?"
"That's right." Mrs. Liszt sighed deliberately, "I am a woman. Although I am a homeowner, I have never failed to live up to my father's entrustment over the years. However, my heart is overwhelming. Tired. Brother and sister are young again. Over the years, I have been alone, but several people know the pain in my heart ... Hey. But no matter how. I ca n’t watch the Liszt family fall, I ca n’t bear to see the inheritance left by my father. Decline can only be achieved step by step. "
Du Wei didn't interject, he realized that what the other party said below was acting meat!
"The maritime trade is shrinking day by day. I think about it ... this trip to the northwest, seeing the province of Desa under the control of your rise and prosperity, and the prosperity of the prairie people, and the relationship with the prairie people, although there are still some Nervous, but it is stable within the port, and when you sit at the border of the town, the entire land trade on the grassland has to pass through Desa. This is also a lot of business opportunities. Well ... So, I have been thinking about it for a long time To make this decision, and I look forward to your support. "
Du Wei suddenly moved in her heart, faintly guessing the lady's intention, could not help but blurt out: "Do you mean ..."
"I plan to move the Liszt family to the northwest!"
Listening to the marquise in a serious tone, Du Wei couldn't help but pause.
The Marquise looked at Du Wei's expression, and suddenly smiled: "Look, I'm right, you frowned when you heard it."
Du Wei could not help but feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the Marquise did not mean to hold it. With a slight smile, he continued: "There are a lot of business opportunities in the Northwest here in the next few years ... And, say a word of disrespect. Even the future empire To use troops on the grasslands, the two northwestern provinces of Desanoulins are important places for combat preparation. Whether it is weapons or arms or grain tents, my Liszt family has been involved in these businesses. It is better to plan early and take root here now. In the future To take the lead. "
Du Wei pondered for a while, the reason was right. But Mrs. Liszt made such a request, I am afraid it is not simply for what business!
"Master Duke, the province of Desa is your own decision. Since I have decided to move the family, I will rely on your full support."
"This is natural." Du Wei promised, but in this case, he could not help but refuse.
"Well, I believe in Lord Duke's Chrysostom. However, some things still require you to worry a lot." The Marquise thought for a while and laughed: "I have a few small requests, and I look forward to you Can promise. "
Du Wei sighed, "Please say it."
"Is this the first? I asked for a house in Loulan City to be used as a resident of the family. Although my Liszt family is not too big, the family members, plus the servants of the family, are among the grooms. There are three or five hundred people. Well. It's best to be near the Duke's Mansion, where the streets are wide and the public order is good. I can bid to buy land from Chengshou Mansion, at the official price. >
"This second, since I moved my family, the family ’s Knights of White Feathers naturally follow suit. Although the Knights of White Feathers are named five hundred people, in fact you and I know it, but to avoid the empire law And it was concealing. In addition to the cavalry of those knights, there were about 2,000 people. More than 2,000 cavalry can never be stationed in the city ... And ... "With that, Mrs. Liszt smiled slightly:" Since I am willing to join hands with Lord Duke, I absolutely trust the Lord. In the past, I naturally needed some force to protect myself. But in the future, I entrusted the Lord Duke to rule the land. This family knighthood would not be necessary. Anyway. Well, I think that once something happens, the Duke will naturally give our family protection. So, I thought about it and thought about it. The two thousand white feather knights do not need to be stationed in the city. Please ask the Duke to stay in the barracks outside the city. Set up a battalion, I will let these white feather knights. Let ’s all wear the armor of the tulip family in the future. It will be enough to leave thirty or fifty people around me, and the rest will be subject to the Duke ’s deployment. As for what the future military Knights military ...... white feather, I Liszt family still wants to bear half of the year. "
"Is there a third ... I know that now the Lord Duke, your tulip private army, ordnance weapon armor, are all bought with the guy from Deerhill Warcraft. Although my Liszt family has done a good job in the arms business It ’s not as big as that fat man, but it ’s small and small. In the future, let me take advantage of you. In the future, the tulip family ’s ordnance business, let us give the Liszt family. I want to come to the guy in Delan Mountain and me The relationship is good, and I should not resent me for stealing his business. As for the price, it is better than the price of that fat man by half. "
"And fourth ..."
Du Wei became more and more frightened the more he listened, the expression on his face couldn't help it!
This ... this woman!
Where is she asking me to do something? Obviously is a big sale ... No! It's a big loss! !! !!
This article comes down one by one, although it is nominally to move the family to the province of Desa, but it can also send money to itself (the arrival of such a business family. It will inevitably stimulate business. The tax surges) It's a gift (a white feather knight sent himself!). Finally, we also provide military ordnance weapons at low prices! !!
A good thing like this, I am afraid that any local official or lord of the empire will never refuse as long as he is not an idiot! !!
This Mrs. Liszt has such a big courage, so dare to decisively put the Liszt family together with herself? !!
"Mrs." After waiting for the fourth of the marquise to speak, Du Wei had waved his hand and looked at each other with a smile: "These conditions you said ... as long as they are not crazy, naturally It ’s all in high demand. However, this way, I may take too much advantage, and I feel a little uneasy.
"It's just business." Mrs. Lister smiled slightly: "Although I seem to have paid a lot, but I believe that the Duke's heroes are only very rough. We should only pay for these things. With your big tree, I think the Liszt family will inevitably take root in the northwest, and it will naturally pay off in the future. "
"That's the case ..." Du Wei groaned for a moment, and said, "I can't accept it in full, otherwise, I'm afraid that others will call me too greedy. Madam, if the family moves to the northwest, it will be one year. All the business of the Liszt family is exempt from tax. Within three years, the tax is halved! After three years, it will only receive 80%! "
Speaking of this, the marquise turned pale, watching Dewey for a while, then sighed softly, "You ... just don't want to accept my kindness, do you?"
On such a good night, the wine is sighing, and the beauty sighs. Du Wei can't help shaking his heart, looking at Mrs. Liszt's face and resentful eyes, he can't help but sip the wine in concealment. With a smile: "Tonight's staple food is the best chef in the city that I asked Mad to specially invite. I will ask your wife to taste it."
Mrs. Liszt's eyes remained unchanged, but she bowed her head. After a while, he raised his face, took the cup and drank it, and looked at Du Wei again, and suddenly said, "I ... I'm very sullen here, Lord Duke, please walk with me to the garden. "
