Power and Empire Chapter 87: Nobles are all good comrades
The fat man walked into the gate of Jelp with the company of Lida Tortai and was shocked to see dozens of nobles in gorgeous clothes standing along the street.
was looking anxiously and looked over here, and when he saw himself walking into the city, he immediately came up with a flattering face,
, but was blocked by the sturdy guards behind the fat man with a knife, hovering on the side of the road with an embarrassed expression, looking at Lida Torte next to the fat man with a grimace
"Please don’t get me wrong, my lord. These are the nobles in the Jelp region. This time I heard that the adults came to inspect in person, and the big guys came here to pay a visit."
Leading the way, Lida Tolte looked at the anxious nobles around and quickly explained,
This is Lida Tortai’s test of fat people. Now most people know that the fat people of Satsuma are not right with the nobles,
There is a quirk of confiscation of nobles’ fields and property. Except for women and children, this fat guy seems to want everything,
For the hapless nobleman, this guy is not much different from the legendary devil
The last time the Samorian army was evacuated from the Jerp area, many nobles’ furniture was carried into a carriage by Samorian soldiers.
The Djerber Castle of the Issa family is even more miserable. It is said that only the empty walls of the castle are left, not even a torch is left
For the lord with such a weird hobby, the nobles have no choice but to secretly curse a few more "Samoy vampires" to relieve their breath
But one thing, fat guys do very well,
almost all the aristocrats who have opinions secretly glad that they have a generous lord,
That is the fat man encourages the nobles to do business,
Samoro not only purchases the land in the hands of the nobles at high prices, but also as long as the property can be mortgaged,
Samoru military will give a certain amount of support in gold coins, and you can also enjoy a one-year business tax holiday
The recent boom in trade between the three places has given many wealthy aristocrats a taste of the sweetness.
Buy from the Swadian area, sell it to merchants gathered from all over the country through the large trading station set up in Jivadin, and then buy back the items needed by the Swadian people from Zivadin
This is a golden business road, you can easily make two to three times the profit in one day and one night
Compared with charging a small amount of grain every year in exchange for money, the nobles prefer the feeling of directly earning gold coins, and their income in one month is more than that in previous years.
Every day, watching a lot of gold coins fall into their pockets, the nobles like to kiss them on the fat face of the fat Satsuma
At this time, if someone encourages them to oppose the management of the Samaritans, they will surely make the nobles tie up and send to Zhivadin directly,
The nobles are beginning to transform into merchants in the seduction strategy of the Satsuma people,
From the enemy of Satsuma to the firm supporter of Satsuma
Lida Torte’s eyes are blurred, but my heart is brighter than anyone else
"In the face of interests, there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends!"
Although the relationship between the Lida family and the Samorian military is still in the honeymoon period, the Lida family is also a nobleman, and it is also the head of the nobility of Djerber
Isa’s family has not fallen behind, in the entire Jerp area, whether it is political or commercial
The Lida family is second to none.
Especially the combination of the Lida family and the Samor military has brought the Lida family’s prestige to the top.
It’s difficult to go up, unless you enter the army and enter the ruling class
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, danger often lurks when you are happiest
The experienced Lida Tortai cannot guarantee that the Lida family will never provoke the taboo of the Fat Satsuma, and will not become the victim of Fat Satsuma’s attack on political enemies
At that time, the Lida family, which developed by relying on the big tree of the Satsuma military, will only have to swallow this glass of bitter wine by themselves
In order to get a definite answer, this stubborn old man stood at the gate of Jelbor City under the scorching sun for a whole day with a whole body of illness,
is for this short moment. What happens when the fat Satsuma meets the nobleman by chance?
"Anger? Hatred? Indifferent? Drive away?..."
Countless possibilities are rolling in Lida Toltai’s sensitive mind, but there is no enthusiasm,
I hope that the fat Satsuma will enthusiastically meet the nobles. It is better to expect gold coins to be dropped directly from the sky.
Lida Tortai’s cloudy eyes gleamed, playing with the various meanings of the fat man’s stunned expression,
Lida Torte is looking forward to what is about to happen,
Observing a person from the subtle point is a habit that Lida Toltai has cultivated for many years, and it is also his endless joy.
But the fat man’s performance was beyond Lida Toltai’s expectations,
I heard that these are the nobles in the Jerp region, the fat man in front of him did not show a trace of irritation,
Instead, he walked over with joy and enthusiasm, and greeted the nobles,
The expression of sorrowful meeting, and the gentle and drizzling words of caring, made the nobles who were going to be ridiculed and scolded to cry with excitement,
was so close to entering the lord as the knight, I kissed His Majesty the King’s feet wearing stinky socks
"This is a real big man! Swadian already has one, and now we, Vicia finally have one"
Seeing the fat man’s mature and natural performance, Lida Tortai, who was knowledgeable, was deeply moved,
"Those who can tolerate their enemies have extraordinary ambitions!"
The fat man in front of him reminds Lida Toltai of the slutty prince with a slutty appearance and hidden ambition thirty years ago
In fact, Lida Toltai is a fat guy.
Fatty can’t understand the self-righteous arrogance of aristocrats. As for these flattering aristocrats,
Fatty said hello while secretly happy
A statistical report received by Fatty this month shows that 90% of the nobles in the Jelp area sold their farms and invested them in the commercial and trade army of the prosperous territory.
The determined cruelty is the same as that of the reform and opening up that year, when the majority of cadres desperately went to the sea to do business.
In the military expenses allocated by the fat man, the tax of at least 10,000 gold coins per week is paid by the nobles of Jelp, which is enough to feed a team
These are all fat people’s food and clothing parents,
Seeing these nobles who are aware of current affairs, sensible, and still not evading taxes, the fat man cried in excitement
"Good comrades, all good comrades" The news that the head of the Satsuma military enthusiastically received the business nobles, spread throughout the whole city of Jerbok overnight,
The original rumor that the Satsuma would cleanse the nobles, disappeared without a trace, and replaced by the rumor that the Satsuma will adopt a more radical business policy
This is a boost to the period when the nobles of Djerber became a merchant. The fat man didn’t know that his unexpected meeting had won the hearts of the nobles of Djerber for himself.
Under the secret promotion of some unknown families, legendary titles such as "Generous Fat Satsuma" and "Generous Fat Satsuma" were spread among the aristocrats in the South.
For example, selling the southern Moza's specialty products to the northern Kujit barbarians at high prices, and rumors of getting rich overnight began to appear,
For example, a run-down nobleman used his barren fields to exchange gold coins from Satsuma, and the legend of becoming a rich and powerful businessman in the country began to spread
under the rumors of various twists and turns and brilliant prospects
Rivadin, the most prosperous commercial city in the south, has become a holy place in the hearts of the desolate aristocrats in the south.
is called the "City of Hope" by the business nobles
Countless impoverished nobles counted their property, drove a carriage, and moved to Riwading with a paper field contract, hoping to find the glory of the family there,
The new term " business aristocracy" appeared for the first time in the general history of the mainland, and the first wave of commercial immigration appeared in the "General History of Calradia".
Early the next morning, under the leadership of Lidarcus, the fat man came to the back mountain of Lida family mansion.
According to Lidarcus, the alchemist’s general equipment research office is located on the back mountain of the family, and many of the alchemists are members of the Lida family
To enter the general research room not only needs to be the core member of the Lida family, but also requires the approval of the patriarch. This time Lida Tortai made a special case for himself
"My lord, please follow me. This is the important place of the family. There are deadly traps along the way! This time I know that the adults are coming, the patriarch has ordered people to clear most of the traps, but there is still a small part that cannot be Clean up, if we go the wrong way, maybe we won’t be able to get down the mountain"
Lidarcus used his finger to point at the bluestone steps winding up in front of his eyes~IndoMTL.com~ carefully stepped on the bluestone with his foot,
The expression of laughter in the past is as heavy as a stagnant pool at the moment
Seeing Lidarkus as a member of the Lida family, he was so cautious and cautious. The fat man did not dare to be big, and followed Lidarkus slowly up the mountain.
When he reached halfway up the mountain, Lidarcus didn’t continue to go up, but suddenly turned right into the path, and the fat man followed in doubt,
bypassing a row of rocks on the trail on the right, a tall two-story pavilion suddenly appeared in front of you, shocking the fat man who followed.
The protruding rock blocks the view of the attic on the mountain road, and the tall and dense leaves in the woods cover the top of the attic,
Such an exquisite design, I have to let the fat man admire, if he didn’t follow Lidarcus to a certain position,
I'm afraid I can't find this loft hidden in the deep forest even when I reach the top of the mountain.
Everyone thought the location was on the top of the mountain, but they didn’t expect it to be on the halfway trail,
Think about the densely distributed traps in the second half of the mountain road, the fat man shuddered
Lidarcus was very satisfied with the fat man’s surprise, and he had such an unexpected expression when he first came here,
is even more surprising to the fat man is still behind,
Lidakus did not walk into the attic, but took the fat man and walked straight to a big tree in the back corner of the attic
"Boom, boom, boom!"
reached out and tapped on the huge tree trunk three times, the skin of the tree trunk suddenly moved, revealing a big red hole,
Fatty can hear the tinkling knocks coming from inside!
"My lord, please come in. Inside is the biggest secret of our Lida family!"
Lidarcus looked at the surprised fat man, and made a gesture of inviting in proudly on his face
