Power and Empire Chapter 108: Kyoto collaborators (2)
"Fatty man! What do you want to do?" Old man Jones asked viciously. Seeing Nellie Jones disappeared in the corridor, Old Man Jones couldn't bear his curiosity anymore. Everyone knew that Fat Samor was never at a loss. If you have grudges, you will get revenge. His eyes are not much bigger than the tip of a needle. He played with him once. It will not be a short time for this fat man to hate himself. At this moment, his performance is so abnormal that old Jones feels his back is chilled.
"Don't do anything! I'm a good person!" The fat man replied with an innocent face, but his right hand habitually touched his stomach. This action chilled the heart of the Grand Duke Jones." It's over! It’s up!" Every time the dead fat man has bad water in his mind, he is used to rubbing his stomach like this.
" Just now, I suddenly changed my mind. I don’t want any of your treasures." The fat man blinked his eyes innocently, completely ignoring the pale face of Duke Jones, and continued stupidly, "I think I fall in love with your daughter. Now, really, you have to believe that I am an honest person, and your daughter is driving me crazy like a beautiful tulip"
"Do you want to marry my daughter?" Duke Jones's face was solemn, his fingers tipped his chin, and he said solemnly, "Do you know what your decision means? We are the Duke family, and your frivolous marriage proposal is unruly" Jones The Grand Duke was happy in his heart, but his expression was like an insulted father, trying to defend his face. "To marry the daughter of the Duke’s family, it must not only be courteous and considerate, but also get the approval of the royal family. Can be done in days"
The fat man shook his hand with an innocent look and defended, "Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to marry Jones Nellie right away." With a twisted blushing face, like a young boy who is very affectionate, he whispered, "I think we It will take some time for a deeper understanding"
The fat man saw Duke Jones’s burning eyes and turned around embarrassedly, "Don’t worry, I’m not a casual person! I’ll be responsible"
"Go!" Duke Jones, who was in a good mood just now, was almost vomiting blood from the fat man. Watching the shameless fat Samor pretend to be innocent, he might as well watch a sow go up the tree.
In the early morning of the next day, there was still a half-round crescent moon on the eastern horizon, the sky was slightly white, and the sun had not yet come out. The fat man opened the window of the room, and the cool breeze refreshed the still a little confused fat man. Young The butler of the Duke’s house bowed respectfully with an apologetic face. Behind him stood several beautiful maids with pretty faces, holding a set of gorgeous aristocratic dresses in their hands
"Dear Dustin boss, I'm sorry to disturb you so early. This is the dress specially selected by Miss Jones Nellie. Today Miss is going to go out with you to select shops."
"Oh, dress" The fat man frowned his eyebrows slightly and flipped over the dress on the maid's hand. The gold silk textured satin surface, the exquisite golden buttons, and the corsage inlaid with white smashed gems dazzled people. Dizzy, seeing the gorgeous and luxurious dress in front of him, the fat man thought, "My figure is just wearing a gorgeous dress, and it is also a bandit, rather than let Miss Jones Nili despise, it is better to have my own characteristics"
"I am a businessman, not a nobleman. I am not accustomed to wearing this thing. Thank you Miss Jones Nellie for your kindness!" The fat man pushed the dress away and took his businessman clothes from the hanger and put them on him. Such clothes make me more comfortable"
In response to the fat man’s refusal, the housekeeper of the Duke’s Mansion reluctantly led the way, and he couldn’t help but curl his lips. "It’s really a hillbilly. This is a royal tailor’s tailored clothes. There are no more than 20 pieces among the nobles in Kyoto. Clothes?"
The fat man came to the front yard behind the housekeeper. He saw Jones Nellie in a white dress standing elegantly at the entrance of the hall. He realized that the fat man was still wearing that old suit of merchant clothes. Jones Nellie's face was slightly frowned, no Yue glanced at the housekeeper, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Jones Nice, wearing a white dress, glided across the moonflower flowers. In the mist of the morning light, it was like the goddess of flowers falling in the world. Looks like, the fat man is pounding in his heart
“I’m sorry to disturb boss Dustin’s sleep so early.” Jones Nili bowed slightly and saluted. “Because there is an important thing today, you need to go through it with boss Dustan. Today is the Summer Business Alliance’s open registration Some days ago, Samor announced that all the Kyoto families that have business ties with Samor must go to the Kyoto branch to register before they are eligible to trade on the Kyoto route. Anyone who fails to register after the deadline will be regarded as smuggling. Punishment!"
"Smuggler!" The fat man nodded slightly in surprise, "I've heard of this too, but I didn't expect it to be so important."
In fact, the fat man not only knows, but he also knows very well that this decree was signed by the fat man himself. The Kyoto route has fattened the Samor merchants and also fattened the nobles of the private army in Kyoto where smuggling is rampant. The fat man did not treat the smugglers in Kyoto. Way,
But now the entire business line falls into the scope of Samor governance. If the smugglers in Kyoto are not cracked down, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses with the interests of other businessmen who have formal visas with Samor.
This is not only related to the business alliance issue, it is a big issue that shakes the Samor business visa system and the integrity of the Samor regime. The fat man signed the business registration order half a month ago, and the troops stationed along the way found any unregistered Kyoto caravans , All goods will be seized for the crime of smuggling.
"Hey! What's the matter? "The fat man was sitting in the carriage and sighed sadly." He signed the order and was busy. Why is my life so bitter!",
Looking at the few pedestrians outside, thinking about seeing the old liar Jones with a smile on his face before getting on the bus, the fat man has the urge to pull people out. This time the Jones family dispatched two carriages, which made the fat man The illusion of trying to squeeze a car with Jones Nellie is disillusioned
As the carriage turned into South Street where the Governor's House is located, the fat man saw that the crowd outside gradually increased. Early in the morning, there were already many noble carriages parked at the gate of the Beijing branch of the Business Alliance. The heavily armed Samor soldiers stood at the door with spears in their hands to maintain order. It seems that the business alliance has long been prepared for the possible crowded situation today.
The **** imposing manner made many nobles afraid to come close. They probed their heads one by one, and looked curiously. The fat man could see from the emblem on the soldier’s black armor. It should be a profit. The third banner group led by Dacus,
Most of this unit is responsible for Samor’s logistics and security of commercial roads. This time in order to better supervise the construction progress of the Governor’s Mansion and the four commercial streets, Fatty specifically allowed Lidarcus to lead 1,000 people. The soldiers of the Third Banner entered the capital, and after the Governor's Mansion was built, they were replaced by the Samor Guards.
I saw a wagon with golden leaves embroidered on the edge of the coat of arms driving into the street~IndoMTL.com~ There was a lot of commotion among the aristocrats waiting around. The embroidered golden silk on the edge is a family patent at the Duke level. Viscount, there are barons, and even the Marquis family, but the Duke family is still the first
"It seems to be a seal of the leaves of the Jones family!" Some of the nobles who knew the details whispered, "Aren't they poor and only have one manor left? How come they have money to take a trip to the muddy water?"
"There is no money, but there are people." Some nobles talked with weird faces. "The family of the first beauty in the north is not for nothing. I heard that the old duke rejected the royal marriage request and suffered revenge! Maybe! We are honored to see Jones Nellie, the number one beauty in the North."
"You mean the number one beauty in the north, Jones Nellie is here?" The aristocrats began to get excited, surrounded with passion, and stared at the carriage that had just stopped with fiery eyes,
"Chuck" in the eager gaze of the nobles, a car door slowly opened, everyone held their breath, staring excitedly, a white "pig leg" tremblingly appeared at the door of the carriage. Eye fragments fell on the ground, and the fat man was startled by the enthusiastic crowd outside the carriage, and cursed with an unhappy expression, "Damn, I haven't seen a man!"
"Lidakus banner leader is here!" Just in this group of people, a carriage inlaid with white thorns badges stopped at the door of the business alliance, and the nearby Samor soldiers who were in charge of maintaining the order immediately To make way for the carriage, Lidarcus, an old acquaintance, pushed open the carriage door and stared at the much-anticipated fat man.
"My lord!" Lidarcus stopped in midair with his dismounting motion, with his mouth open, he could swallow an apple, and he almost fell with a praying mantis on his feet when he stepped off the carriage.
