North-South Commercial Road, from south to north, using Allen's northbound route as a beacon, Edward drew this route with a pen among the maps placed on the table. It was basically in line with the plan, except that it turned to Dragon Spear Town after passing through the Coldridge Mountains, and then went to the Old Great Wall through the secret realm, thus bypassing the Devil's Throat, and it took a few days shorter than the originally planned route.
Edward drew a circle in Longlance Town: "We will build a supply point in this town. The trade route will bring prosperity to the town. At least your equipment can be transported from north to south through this trade route. If the clan does not object, within a few years, Dragonlance Town will be two to three times larger than it is now. The important thing is that once your town is combined with the interests of most people, there will be no more people like the Marquis of Peel. I can easily order you to move away."
Paluo listened carefully. He didn't know that this was an important opportunity for the Gaocang clan to usher in a turning point. Edward went on to say that in order to respect certain customs of the Gaocang tribe, future supply points could be established outside the town, and also within the scope of the first phase of the expansion of Longlance Town. As for the original town, it can be preserved as a place for the Gaocang tribe. The past business travelers do not need to enter the area where the Gaocang tribe lives, if there is such a need.
Pello laughed: "Although we can't talk about hospitality, we are not closed down. As long as the adults can ensure that the caravans in the past will not cause trouble to my people, I think the mayor will agree to this plan."
"I can promise you this here. We will arrange soldiers to ensure order at every supply point of Shangdao, so the things you worry about will definitely not happen." Edward said affirmatively: "Because of participating in the North-South business. In addition to us, there are also the second prince and some big figures in the imperial capital. Speaking of which, we are just the organizers, and they are the ones who guarantee the smooth operation of business."
"Then there is no problem."
Edward nodded, looked at Allen and said, "This time the business plan, as well as the mining of the cold crystal veins, has won the support of an adult. Without the expression of that adult, it would be difficult for me to attract so much. Investors, tonight that adult will also come to attend the celebration banquet of His Royal Highness Julian. Then you will have to be close to others."
"Who is it?" Allen asked.
Edward pretends to be mysterious: "You will know at night. I have to rest while there is time. These days are almost exhausting me." After arriving in the imperial capital, Alan was busy preparing for Julian's spring. Edward did not spare the job of hunting either. He took Xiao En and others to visit the nobles in the city every day under the line of Rhine, attracting various investors for the North-South Commercial Road and the Ice Soul Crystal Mine. The shopping mall is another battlefield. Although there is no gunpowder, it may not be easy.
Soon night fell.
The celebration banquet was held in this private manor in Julian. From the daytime, the manor was fully furnished from the inside to the outside. At night, the manor’s lights were all on, as bright as daylight. When guests come in through the gate, they will see a passage with colorful flags hung above them, with bands playing music on both sides, and chefs in the small square grilling all kinds of meat, from steaks to fresh fish. The square was arranged as a meeting place last night, and the waiters carried silver plates filled with fine wines and shuttled across the square. Guests are free to enjoy fine wine, barbecue and other delicacies, and talk freely under the melodious music of the night sky.
The main building of the manor is even more magnificent, and the lobby on the first floor is another venue. However, this venue is not accessible to anyone, who can enter this venue is personally invited by Julian. Naibot was also invited here tonight. The presence of the Prime Minister pushed the atmosphere of the meeting room to a high level. The Prime Minister has always rarely appeared in public, especially when he stands on his own student camp so clearly.
His arrival, the caring people can read out many potential meanings and adjust their attitude towards Julian and even Nebot's prosecutors. The key to making this happen is that Julian’s Spring Hunter won the championship, and the ability to take over Star Wing and Dragon Flame in Tangiero’s hands is an obvious signal in itself, which means that Julian has taken a big step towards the crown prince. .
In this step, he passed Hausen and left Seves, who had nothing to do with Harukari, behind him. If it's hot, Julian is now. From the previous disapproval to the present, the voice of Li Chu is the highest, which can be described as a dramatic change. Behind all these glamour, what the real big man saw was not Julian, but another one.
Earl Alan!
His arrival immediately reversed Julian's unfavorable situation and was rewarded privately by Tangliou. Although no one knows the content of the award, being able to meet with the emperor alone in the Triumph Palace is enough to make this young earl from the south become a celebrity in the imperial capital.
Edward was able to attract so many investors in just a few days. In addition to the support of the so-called adult in his mouth, it was also because of Allen's second entry into the Triumph Palace. Who doesn't want to get closer to the current imperial celebrity, not to mention that the North-South Commercial Road and the Cold Crystal Mineral Vein are indeed attractive. Urged by various reasons, Edward's plan was able to proceed so smoothly.
When the guests in the lobby of the main building were almost there, Julian and Allen both entered the arena. The second prince is holding a bright and beautiful girl, who is the granddaughter of a certain hereditary marquis in the imperial capital. If there is no accident, she will become Julian's wife. Behind Julian, Ellen, dressed in the Earl's costume, and Lucy dressed up, also attracted everyone's attention. Especially Lucy, this is her first appearance in the upper class of the empire. The lady who was originally born in the royal family of Ida Huaxing became more noble and generous after some careful modification. She is far more dazzling than any woman in this venue, even if Julian's fiancée is eclipsed before her eyes.
It couldn't be more obvious that Alan took her on the stage. Those who had planned to pull Allen through marriage, could only smile and shook their heads after seeing Lucy. There is already such a good woman by the earl, how can other people be attracted. But they still don't give up, this wife can't do it, it's always okay to be a concubine, right? So the gaze that looked at Allen remained unchanged, and he began to look for opportunities to get closer.
After whispering a few words with Nebot, Julian walked to the high platform of the venue and coughed to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "Everyone, I am honored to be here tonight. Here They’re all old friends, and I’m not afraid to say that. If there were no Earl Alan, and he hadn’t killed Jue Ying for me, then there wouldn’t be all of this tonight. So the wine you have now, you can all worship us. A good gift from the earl. For this I propose that everyone make a drink for him!"
Julian pointed at Ellen, and under Lucy's nudge, Ellen shook his head and walked onto the platform. His own waiter brought wine for the two of them, Julian toasted, and everyone on the court, including Nebot, toasted, and then drank them all. Julian put down the cup and said, "Earl Ellen, I need you to play more for me in the future."
"It's my pleasure." Allen smiled.
Julian blinked and said, "I'm very happy to get the help of Earl Allen. This time the Spring Hunter won the first prize, and Earl Allen made great contributions. Everyone said what kind of good Earl I should give us. Reward?"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Julian went round the stage, buying Guanzi and said: "Gold? How can money buy loyalty, not to mention I think the earl has more money than me, at least as soon as his north-south commercial road is opened, since It’s money."
People laughed.
"Equipment?" Julian nodded: "Father has rewarded me with a full set of weapons that can be equipped with a hundred famous riders, including war horses. But I think Earl Alan is not so bad, so jewelry?"
He looked at Lucy, stretched out his hand and smiled: "He already has the most splendid treasure of the empire, I don't think the count will need it either."
With another chuckle, Lucy shook her head, showing a bright smile.
Finally, Julian said: "So I think about it. Only by giving something to the earl can I express my sincerity." The second prince snapped his fingers, and a silver frost guard walked up the stage, holding it in his hand. With a long box, no one knows what's inside. Julian walked to Tie Wei and opened the box with his own hands. When people saw the contents clearly, there was a sound of inhalation.
In the long box is a long sword. The sheath of the long sword has a dark red background, and the sides and the middle are decorated with gorgeous gems. The hilt of the sword is gold-plated, a piece of gold under the light. On the guard, a dragon head is carved out of metal. The dragon head occludes the scabbard, and the left and right sides are the wings of flying dragons. When Julian drew out the long sword, the vermilion sword refracted the lights, like a blazing flame.
"Dragon Flame?" Naibot didn't expect Julian to be so generous, and even gifted him with the sword of the first king. Dragon Flame is not a sharp weapon. Its symbolic meaning is more than practical. The gift of Dragon Flame shows that Julian values Alan.
"Your Majesty, this gift is too thick." Allen smiled bitterly: "Besides, the Dragon Flame was given to you by your majesty, how can I accept it."
"It was rewarded by the father." Julian corrected. He grabbed Alan's hand and stuffed the dragon flame into his hand: "And now, I give it to you. I hope your loyalty , Like a dragon flame that will never cease to burn!"
At this time, Allen had to accept if he didn't want to accept it, so he could only thank him. Afterwards, Julian rewarded others who participated in the spring hunt. For example, Gao Hu got a barrel of fine wine, and Fares got a deed to the mercenary building. Everyone has a reward, although they are all incomparable. The dragon flame in Lun's hand did not leave anyone in the cold.
Next is the free time for the banquet. Ellen’s Dragon Flame asked the Silver Frost Iron Guard to return to the room. When he and Julian were surrounded by people, the door of the hall opened and several people filed together. Into. At the head are several swordsmen in black clothes and black armor. On their chests, a golden tsauwei flower pattern is very dazzling. When the manor housekeeper saw it, he quickly got into the crowd and whispered in Julian's ear. The second prince smiled brightly and patted Alan on the shoulder and said: "Go, there is a big man here."
