Power and Empire Chapter 1681: Unexpected (3)
Saron came out of the weapons shop and wandered a few streets again. This time his goal was not weapons, but another important thing, various expensive luxury items,
He asked a few passers-by and finally found this place, his eyes turned between expensive and gorgeous jewelry stores, glamorous and moist precious fur stores, and crystal clear white rhinestone stores. This is the most prosperous area in Gangbang, luxury There are many products, and you can constantly see carriages with various noble emblems stopping in front of these shops, and one by one nobles or graceful ladies in palace dresses coming down from the top.
"My lord, what are we doing here?"
A guard asked curiously. In the minds of the guards, the nerve-racking commander of the Saron army was never interested in luxury accessories. It is said that a large businessman once personally tried to climb Saron. A pearl necklace worth tens of thousands of gold coins was presented, but Saron was so drunk that he swiped his hand with a sharp knife.
The pearl necklace flew into the air, and the light of the knife flickered. In the cold light that raged in Salon’s hands, the beads scattered in the sky like a torrential rain.
smashed the face of this scared and pale businessman, and immediately fell to the ground with a pee. Since then, no one has dared to give gifts to the rumored grumpy Saron
" to find an answer! "Saron, who had a relaxed face just now, has piercing eyes at the moment, looking at the dazzling array of streets, and said with a solemn expression
" answer? "The guard looked confused, I don’t know what Governor Saron’s words mean,
" An answer to the long confusion in my heart! "Saron looked at the bustling street, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. "So that's the case, this is probably because your Majesty handed the important land of the southwest to his confidant. Sake it!
In Southwestern Jiangsu, it is the bottleneck of the current imperial commerce development, and the breakthrough point of this bottleneck lies in Gangfei!
Saron looked at the bustling streets with people coming and going, and there was a dazzling array of gorgeous shops. A clear understanding flashed through his heart unconsciously. Your Majesty did not hand the Southwest to others, but to himself. The general idea is Because when I was in the Northwest, I had personally watched His Majesty Falcon using the magical technique of business expansion to turn a barren land of Northwest China into a prosperous place with a population of millions in just two years. ,
The merchant ships are like clouds, and the horses are constantly shuttled on the road. As the caravan from the mainland, the southwest is the first transit station in the Nordic region. It is just such an opportunity to take this opportunity. The southwest has a certain degree of Based on the male hòu, the Gaul Empire has operated in the southwest for many years. It has always been a barrier to the empire against the Congolese. It has a dense population, numerous towns, rich minerals, and a complete forging industry.
Although it has experienced a major turmoil, except for the southwest capital in the core area, other regions have suffered little fluctuations. The demobilization of more than 100,000 Southwest Army and the infusion of a large number of labor forces into various industries in the Southwest have further promoted the development of the Southwest , Suddenly in a delicate stage of impending explosion, the importance of the Southwest to the Empire in Obaro is self-evident, not only military, but also its economic hub status.
His Majesty Falcon will take risks and fight with Gangfei this time. In addition to completely dispelling Gangfei people’s prying heart of the Southwest, it also changed the style of chasing after the war and chose before the war is fully expanded. After talking with Gang Fei for half of the time, hundreds of thousands of imperial troops stopped at the border and continued to deepen, like a war horse about to gallop, and slammed the reins. This is because His Majesty left Gang Fei on purpose. A little bit of leeway.
The military front stopped, but it does not mean that the pace of the empire’s expansion has also stalled. The war is only an extension of politics. At this time, standing in this strange country of Kyoto, Saron realized this very clearly, according to His Majesty Falcon Since the previous strategic policy has knocked on the door of the country, it will naturally not let go of the opportunity to deepen the trade line. In this regard, even a fighter like Salon can clearly grasp the rhythm of the next step of the empire.
Southwest is about to become a breakthrough to drive the commerce of the entire empire, and this opportunity is now in front of me! That’s why Saron suddenly had such a thought. It was a thought that suddenly flashed through his mind.
If the Southwest was mainly aimed at the commercial line of the Nordic Barrow, then the Southwest has undoubtedly become the meeting point of the Nordic Barrow and Central European Barrow. Such a southwest will truly become a place in the European Barrow. Region, together with the commercial gathering centers of north, south, east, and west,
" His Majesty’s plan should be like this! "After I figured this out, Salong’s heart trembled, and even his blood boiled. As a military commander, he has become the commander of the imperial army. He is regarded as the peak of the military commander’s unilateral promotion. The Falcon Army has killed hundreds of thousands of enemies for five years, and its brilliant record can only be stopped by Wufu.
And this time I became the governor of the southwest of the empire. If this can achieve such a grand strategic plan of his majesty, this will be a glorious war for his whole life, and this huge war without the smoke of gunpowder enters just outside Kyoto. From this moment, it's the prologue that has come.
Finally, Salong's eyes became sharp. He decided to give it a try. He took off a huge big red gem ring worn on his left **** with his right hand, and held it heavily in the palm of his hand to understand the market of Gangfei. The best way is to touch its bottom line first. Hu Keqili can write a report on the Gaul, and he can also write a report on the business of Congolese and Africa.
is it, and Salon finally focused on a jewelry store in the center of the street
Jewelry is the most frequent in luxury goods transactions. During the Ikadiva War of Unification, the jewels of nobles and royal families of various countries were lost to the people in the war. This is the largest since the collapse of the Acadiva dynasty five hundred years ago. A collection of jewellery, the collection of hundreds of years of royal families in various countries, the reshuffle of aristocratic giants, and the large number of aristocrats engaged in business are undoubtedly the biggest promoters of bringing countless gorgeous noble treasures that have been collected for hundreds of years into the market.
Saron, as the commander of the empire, although he has no hobbies in luxury goods, it does not mean that he has no chance to get in touch with them. An imperial general with a heavy hand like him has great regional jurisdiction. , Is the object of countless big businessmen vying to flatter,
Saron’s appearance is rough and crazy, but his heart is very clear. Although His Majesty Falcon is known as the **** of commerce and uses merchants to gather national power to promote the war to unify Ikadiva, he will never like a confidant who is caught by a merchant. General, so he always keeps a certain distance from the businessman, but he is not completely able to refuse. After all, at his level, many relationships cannot be pushed back,
For example, the big ruby ring in his hand was given as a gift by one of the twelve deacons from the business alliance. Salong does not know the value of luxury goods but also knows that such a big ruby ring is definitely worth two. Above one hundred thousand gold coins, at that time, His Majesty Falcon personally led the army to go south and rush into Rude. The Saron Legion, because of the brutal Stalos battle that had just gone through, dragged Swadian alive at the cost of half of the soldiers killed in battle. Li Wan army,
In that deadly battle, the Salon's main army was completely maimed, so that it missed the subsequent battle of the destruction of the morality
Feeling regretful, Saron also urgently needed a sum of money to house the dead and wounded soldiers, but the imperial treasury fully supported the battle of Ruo De, temporarily unable to pay such a large amount of funds, and finally a member of the business alliance The deacon, gave this gift and half a million gold coins as funding, and also promised to sponsor the army a free ration to compensate the soldiers who died in battle. This is not the first time that Salon has received a gift, but it is definitely the largest one. It adds up to more than 1.5 million gold coins,
Even the brave fellow like Saran felt a little uneasy about speculation, until later I heard that the most mysterious deacon of the business alliance had an unusual relationship with His Majesty, and I slowly recollected it.
The money and food were simply donated by His Majesty Falcon privately, and the reason is obvious, in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of other generals participating in the Battle of Starros at that time. After all, in that battle, Saron’s main legion suffered heavy losses. The Central Legion, the Western Legion, and the Northern Legion all had their own casualties. It is only for the Saron Legion to be so skewed that it will undoubtedly cause a crack in the Falcon Army. Caused the disadvantages of conquering the German war.
This is the largest shop on this street, and the decoration is also the most gorgeous. Not only is there a line of beautiful girls in neat palace dresses standing at the door, but also for everyone who enters the shop, There will always be a beautiful lady in a blue dress who will guide you. The scale of this shop is very large. Even in Kyoto in the Falcon Empire, the "Rivadin", known as the capital of luxury goods, is connected for fifty years. Mi’s shops are also very rare,
In Rivadin, the golden commercial street, the 50-meter store is worth at least one million gold coins, and so on. In the Congo-Empire’s Kyoto, this super-large store in the center of the street , It should be the largest store of non-luxury goods in Gangnam,
"This is the most famous jewelry crown in Kyoto. It is only open to aristocrats who are no less than a viscount. The entry fee is a deposit of 10,000 gold coins. If you are just curious to check it out, it’s better not to Go"
Just when Salon was about to walk towards this shop, Pfeiffer, who had been in the weapon shop just now, appeared in a ghostly manner. Behind the Prince Pfeiffer, the entourage just now There are only three left, one old man, two young people, the old man with the gold mark on the cuff just now disappeared
" A deposit of ten thousand gold coins? This is kind of interesting! "Saron stopped slightly, and then prepared to continue walking. His goal is to meet the person in charge of this store, and it is best to establish it first. Starting a luxury business line, he didn't care much about the deposit of 10,000 gold coins. After all, this time the mission was just a matter, the always stingy Majesty Falcon allocated 300,000 in one go.
" Listen to me, Governor Saron, if you are really interested in jewelry, we can talk about it! "Puffy Grand Duke did not expect that Saron would behave in this way, and he quickly stopped in front of Saron again, concentrating Said
"The reason why I came here is to negotiate a very urgent jewelry sale"
"Jewelry business?"Saron looked at the somewhat eager face of Grand Duke Pufei who was in front of him, his eyes flashed with confusion
" Hehe, I'm here to sell jewellery to be precise!" Grand Duke Purfei let go of his blocking hand, his face flushed slightly, if it weren't for the Principality's financial strain, he would not have thought of selling the treasures that the Principality had treasured for many years. When he saw Salon walking towards the most prosperous jewelry store in Kyoto, he obviously understood the wrong meaning, thinking that Salon was the governor of the Falcon Empire. I am going to buy some jewellery from the empire and bring it home,
The jewellery industry in the non-imperial empire is very famous in Central Europe. It is famous for its craftsmanship and gorgeous texture and rare materials. It is a symbol of many ladies and ladies expressing their luxurious body. Many aristocrats from other places will be in Buy some here and take it back. It is very useful whether it is to give a lover or to please a woman.
" Your Excellency should be able to understand that such a large shop not only sells jewellery, but also serves as a transit point for jewellery everywhere! "Seeing that Saron did not say anything, Duke Pufei said with embarrassment
" I think you got it wrong, I also went to sell jewelry! "Saron smiled slightly, loosened his five fingers holding the ruby, revealing the huge red ruby like a flame inside.
"This is..."
Grand Duke Pufei looked at the ruby in Salon's hand, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were about to bulge out. Although he is a great prince of a country, he has never seen such a huge ruby, but it is still the case. It is pure and almost invisible to any impurities. The surface is even more of a soft light flowing like water, like blood, with the chill of a layer of treasure. How can Grand Duke Purfeit see that this is definitely the top-grade ruby,
Puffy Grand Duke will never think of it. In fact, the name of this ruby is very famous in Ikadiva, "Knight's Light"
The main gem of the first Swadian king's crown, Fatty spent 5 million to purchase all the collections of the Swadian royal family, among them this "Knight's Light" Fatty made this one of great significance to Swadian The "Knight’s Light" was secretly handed over to Salon as a reward, which did not include the praise that he had dragged down the last trace of Swadian’s luck in the Battle of Stalos. It’s a pity that in the eyes of Salon, a martial artist, this is It's just a big ruby.
"I am going to sell it for 300,000 gold coins. If the Duke is willing to buy it, I can lower it...
Saron threw away the ruby in his hand, and looked at Grand Duke Pufei with a green face with a smile. The 300,000 Grand Duke Pufei felt that he would not only sell iron, but also sell all the mice in the palace. Not enough, if the tax revenue of the previous principality is still there, it is estimated that it will take a year to buy it.
" So that’s the case, I’m too rude!" Grand Duke Pufei gave way with embarrassment. In order to express his apology, he respectfully placed his right hand on his chest and bends over to Saron to give a noble salute.
"I am not a nobleman, so I don’t have to!"
Saron's mouth smiled and waved his hand. Although I have been with this Grand Duke Pufei for a short time, I feel that the other party is still a more sincere person.
"This is!" His gaze swept across the finger of the other person unintentionally, and Saraon’s smile suddenly solidified on his face. The kind eyes suddenly became sharp, and even flashed with a strong murderous aura. Like a sword light, it shone on the fingers of Duke Pufei’s right hand placed on his chest. On Duke Pufei’s five fingers, a dark green precious gemstone ring was worn on the most prominent middle finger, one with two leaves. The shaped heraldic ring is worn on the index finger. It should be the coat of arms of the Puffy family.
Saron’s eyes are the most inconspicuous little finger of Grand Duke Pufei, a simple black ring with the shape of a flying falcon. Such a ring has been seen countless times. Over,
But it was on the fingers of His Majesty Falcon!
"Come on, surround them!"
Saron suddenly took a step back and screamed to the guards behind him. The dozen guards behind him quickly rushed forward, hum! There was a metal sound of sharp blades unsheathed, and dozens of sharp and cold swords were pulled out from the waist by the guards, presenting a circle, enclosing the four people of Grand Duke Pufei, who looked astonished, in the middle,
"Governor Salon, what is this for?"
Duke Pufei tried to be calm, but his heart was already screwed together. These seemingly guarding fighters hadn't put him on his mind at first, but at this moment, he suddenly attacked, and the murderous intent of the guards who had been fighting for a long time quickly disappeared. The body spreads out
The piercing feeling made Prince Puffy cry secretly. These fighters are definitely cruel characters who kill people without blinking. The most frightening thing is that a dozen people hardly rehearsed beforehand and just stopped at random. The position of standing, but extremely tacit understanding, just blocked all possible breakthrough positions, without the slightest dead angle, this is the tacit understanding of true military talents.
The Gangfei who saw this scene on the street was suddenly scared to disperse
"It's terrible, it seems to be from the Lou clan from out of town!"
"Yes, the one trapped in the middle seems to be a great nobleman from the field!" Gang Fei people talked about it outside,
The noise here also attracted the attention of the jewelry store. Seeing more than a dozen tall and strong barbarians pulling out their weapons on the street, the welcoming sister at the door of the store suddenly screamed and the scene became chaotic. ,
"Where did the heraldic ring on your little finger come from? If you can't answer, don't blame me, Salong, for being polite! Even if you can't go back, I will execute you on the spot!" He was as heavy as water, and said slowly to the pale Duke of Purfei
"This...this..."
Duke Pufei is full of sweat beads on his forehead. The other party turned his face too fast. In the blink of an eye, the other party's attitude was like wanting to eat him alive. He heard the other party asking about the unknown ring on his little finger. He also fell into a moment of speech loss, not knowing how to explain, and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Sure enough, something happened. I already knew that the words of the women of the Burrows family were absolutely not to be heard."
"What's going on here? When will Da Khan, who is not in Kyoto, be able to let the barbarians run rampant!" A lazy voice came from not far away, a man dressed in brocade satin The young nobleman came from the direction of the shop~IndoMTL.com~ looked arrogantly at Salon and a dozen guards standing in the center of the street, and then looked at the Duke Pufei who was trapped in the middle. The eyebrows frowned slightly, as if thinking of something.
"Step on"
At the entrance of the street in the distance, a team of non-light cavalry rushed over. The leader was the Count Remchat who had previously negotiated. He saw the tense situation here and immediately pulled the horse ten meters away. Jumped down quickly from above, shouted with a serious face
"Governor Saron, this is the Kyoto I just fought off. You will be in trouble if you act so presumptuously!"
"Trouble?" Salong glanced at him, her face was cold, and the corners of her mouth sneered. "It's really trouble, but it won't be mine. Since the Principality of Universal is a vassal of your country, if your country can't give us one Make it clear that my majesty will definitely move his army south again. At that time, it was not so easy to talk!"
"Your Excellency, what does this mean?"
Earl Remchart was taken aback. He hurried over when he heard that the governor of the Falcon Empire had a sword on the street and seemed to trap somebody. He hadn’t figured out the situation yet, but This sentence from the other party made his heart suddenly cold,
Looking at Salon's angry killing intent, Earl Remchat was able to perceive the soaring warfare contained in it. This time it was really troublesome!
