Power and Empire Chapter 1626: Black and White Kill (3)
Come on together, work hard! We all started to fight for the glory of Quanguo Bar
"President Timothy!"
Danis County Guard looked at the person who stopped next to him, with a bit of hesitation on his face. The words of the Sidney Foreign Secretary still lingered in his mind. He didn't know how to speak. Generally speaking This is the happiest period of time since he became the county guard. Every day he feels very fulfilled. A large number of caravans are rolling in from the northwest coast. The wealth that he could not dream of before is also like a pie falling from the sky. He was stunned. All kinds of luxury goods from across the sea, and the large-scale needs of all kinds of labor, anyone with hands and feet can get a job in such business dealings. In the past, they were always in cities and villages. I can never see the scene of a group of idle people again,
Just past the month, the tax collected through the caravan reached ten thousand gold coins. This sudden astronomical figure made the Danish County Guard, who has always been accustomed to hardship. He almost thought that he was in a dream. He knew that the caravan came for money, but he didn’t expect that the money, fifty thousand gold coins a month, would make each of the coaches in the county government more luxurious than one. The first one has already been used. The old horse-drawn carriage from the early years is now riding on a horse-drawn carriage comparable to the earl’s family with a precious white wooden horse frame inlaid with a golden family crest on the outside. In other words, a horse-drawn carriage that even the earl would admire, Danis’ flower Within a few months, I completed my life's extravagant hope.
The carriage is the face of a nobleman. Danis still remembers the scene of entering the capital in a newly decorated carriage a month ago, from the tax collector at the gate to the prime minister of the principality that he was going to visit. , That hot gaze couldn’t wait to stick it directly on the carriage, and when he expressed generously that he could directly give the Prime Minister a new carriage with the same configuration, it was the first time that the superior Prime Minister invited himself to stay. At the end of the dinner, I even got an invitation from the Ducal Mansion. It was a dreamlike day. As a small local county guard, he attracted the attention of the entire duchy’s capital. At that time, he was the focus of the entire capital. Every time he recalled this, Danis was able to tremble slightly. After returning from the scenery, he renovated his county mansion, so that his partner, the prime minister, would suggest to him. "The Duke's Internal affairs need a person who is good at financial management. Such a person first needs to have a reputation and then his own ability. I heard that your mansion has not been repaired in the past years. This is not a good thing. If you can perform better Some good words, such as Xiurong Mansion inviting people from the capital to participate in the banquet, or to give some help to the Principality’s finances, maybe at this year’s annual banquet, you will have the opportunity to enter the third seat in front, you know, that It’s the financial officer whom the Lord Duke trusts the most to be qualified to sit. In that case, your Excellency will be the first to serve as the financial officer of the Principality in the Danis family"
Danis didn’t sleep well after moving for several nights, and this change is not only in the county government, but throughout the entire Lengwei County. With the close caravans, the demand for labor is also It is very large, with Lengwei County as the center. The population of several nearby counties is also gathering here. Danis can feel that a sweeping era is fermenting and spreading in Lengwei County, and is getting rid of the poverty of the past. The downturned hat is reborn,
And all this is undoubtedly inseparable from the man in front of me,
Timothy, president of the Lengwei County Chamber of Commerce, a man who holds the economic lifeline of Lengwei County in his hands.
hesitated for a while, the Danis County Guard decided to reveal a little more,
He took the wine glass in his hand, took a sip of the bitter wine in the glass, and said in a heavy tone, "It’s really annoying. I just received a notice from the capital, asking Lengwei County to treat the Chamber of Commerce Restrict! And warned me that I was too close to the caravan"
Danis shrugged helplessly and smiled bitterly, "You know, although I used to cooperate very happily, as a small county guard, I have no right or ability to resist orders from the capital!"
"Why boycott it! We understand Mrs.'s difficulties, but we are a bit regretful!"
Timothy’s face was calm, as if he had expected it. "If our caravan can’t take the road of Lengwei County, it will have to go around a hundred miles from Quentinburg into Ruosende, which is a rugged mountain road. , Although it is difficult, it should still pass!"
"Are you talking about Quentinburg?"
Danis's complexion changed slightly. Isn’t Quentin Castle the entrance to the Dove County of the guy who sat at the door with him last year? Seeing so many caravans, the county guard who is as hard as himself, I believe it’s not What kind of capital's order will he care about?
" In fact, our Chamber of Commerce was looking for Quentinburg before we went to Lengwei County. We were even short of signing an agreement with Quentinburg. "Tissini said indifferently" as long as we are willing to each Quentin Castle will be provided with ten thousand gold coins in the month, and the Quentin Castle will be silent on the caravan passing,
"There is a densely forested mountainous area. Even if someone is sent to investigate it, you can easily block it back because there are too many mountain roads to stop them!"
" Later, we discovered that compared to Fort Quentin, the land of Lengwei County is relatively flat, and you are also quite sincere in this respect, you are obviously more suitable for us. That’s why the Chamber of Commerce looked for Lengwei County, so the county Master Shou doesn’t need to apologize at all. In order not to embarrass Master County Shou, we will leave Lengwei County tomorrow, and the big deal will continue to enter from Quentinburg!"
"Just mouth... Is there nothing else to consider
Danis looked out the window with a pale face, sweat on his forehead, bloodshot eyes, a little sour in his heart, like watching a good thing that he had so hard to get, but had to give it to others , Too frustrated!
"Actually, why didn't the county guard think about it for yourself?" Tissini said unexpectedly, "If Lengwei County can be transformed into an autonomous business, it would not be better!"
" Self-initiated by business? "Danis's eyes brightened, but soon dimmed, and he resolutely said, "This is impossible. The capital is very dissatisfied with the current situation. How could it be possible to agree to such a request!"
" That’s not necessarily true! At least as far as I know, many towns on the northwest coast are self-employed. They don’t need to bear heavy tributes, but trade taxes instead!" Ni looked at the silent Danis and said slowly
" Although I don’t understand politics, I also know that Duke Locke, who has just ascended the throne, will never allow the local county guard to have too much wealth. This is a potential threat to him. As for the important local officials, the new duke is obviously unfounded and unconvincing."
"So I believe that it will not take long for the conflict between the local county guard and the capital to break out"
" I don’t know where the county guard will be on the side? As far as I know, the new duke has no good feelings for adults, let alone a confidant, and the local ministers are irrelevant to Lengwei County. In the small area, there will be nothing too important,
"So, no matter who is the winner of the two sides, the county guard has only one possibility to be exchanged"
"Okay, I don’t need to say any more. I know what you want to say, but do you think it’s really possible? What benefits can I get by investing in the northwest coast? Would that falcon king believe it? Am I sincere? In the end, the two sides are not human!" Danis' eyes were bloodshot, and he waved his hand to Tissini.
"Why does Lord Danis look down on himself so much!"
Tissini smiled slightly, and felt that it was time for the showdown to take out the appointment letter signed in the morning and gently place it in front of Danis
"This is a letter of appointment signed by His Majesty Falcon. There are two copies in total. As long as you sign your name on it, one will be kept by yourself and the other by the northwest coast. This appointment will be completed. From then on, Lengwei County will be protected by the West Coast and the North Coast. The Northwest Coast will not say anything about it.
And the county guard can sit and watch the struggle between the capital and the local ministers with a neutral body, wait until the dust has settled, and then declare their position. With the strong military power on the northwest coast, even the victors can oppose There are opinions, but I can only choose to accept this one way,"
"This... is it really that majesty’s appointment letter?
Danis looked at the appointment book placed in front of him with uncertain eyes, and his hands trembled slightly. The strength of the Northwest Coast’s military is well known, and the Falcon’s Majesty is even more of a fierce hero in the name of a military god. People, but no matter what the external opinion is, no one will deny that this majesty is the master of millions of creatures in the entire northwest, and the northwest master’s letter of appointment is placed in front of him, which allows him to participate in a Duke’s invitation Danis, who can fly to the sky, is not heartbroken
"This is an enviable honor! It is enough to become a treasure of the heirloom!"
Tissini took a deep breath, and also tried to withdraw his gaze from the appointment letter, with an undisguised envy in his tone. That is the handwriting of His Majesty Falcon. Although it looks a little awkward, it is exactly the same. It is true proof of the handwriting of His Majesty Falcon.
At this moment, Tissini's heart is a little impulsive,
If Danis chooses to refuse, how good would it be that this precious and unusual handwriting is his own. This is the case without a name on this appointment letter. If Danis chooses to refuse, then the Chamber of Commerce personnel who will begin to withdraw tomorrow, There will be a farce of assassination because of dissatisfaction with the county guard,
Then, the Chamber of Commerce took advantage of chaos to control the entire area of Lengwei County. In the first two months, the Chamber of Commerce has completely penetrated into the county's large and small institutions, and can completely achieve the goal of full control.
In another room of the mansion, the fat man who was staying as a guard was leisurely fighting a small saury fish stuffed with mellow wine. He cut the grilled golden fish with a knife and cooked it with a spoon. Take out the caviar, the skewers of roe are transparent and crystal, with the fragrance of honey wine and the unique refreshing taste of roe, pressing under the tongue, you can hear the sound of the skewers of roe cracking because of squeezing. The juice runs down the root of the tongue and throat,
"There is a banquet in front. If you are hungry, let the servants take some food. There is no need to use the royal cook, my Falcon." On the opposite side of the fat man, the duke of Dunker was a little depressed. Leaning on the couch,
The backyard of County Shoufu is not big, the noise from the front hall is clearly audible, hundreds of guards control every corner of the backyard, there is no need to worry about being heard inside the conversation, so the Duke of Dunkirk I directly use the title of Majesty Falcon.
"This is the Duke, your royal chef, but it's not mine!" The fat man sucked the spoonful of caviar into his mouth, rolled his eyes at the Duke of Dunkirk, and smiled. "In fact, I don't care then. , I just ran into it, why don't you have to try Dunkirk’s most famous honey-cooked roe!"
"Your Majesty has a good appetite, don’t you worry about this trip"
" Do you need to worry? "The fat man raised his head, his mouth full of roe, and the ink juice is still hanging on the corner of his mouth. The six words are illegible." Isn’t he just a smug little guy. If he wants to play, he will play with him. , I don’t believe it, he can still play with a flower!"
" Little guy? Behind this little guy is Kyoto’s eye for the northwest, and 180,000 troops may crush the northwest at any time! My Falcon, can you be more serious, "Duke of Dunkirk" Looking at the fat man who gobbled up like a starving ghost on the other side, he couldn't help but smile. Before meeting with the Vickia Falcon, he was full of curiosity and fear for this powerful monarch who quickly controlled the northwestern coast for two years.
But this time I saw that this was called the army of the northwest coast of Liwan. He looked down the entire northwest like a tiger like a tiger. It was really ordinary and a bit too much. The Duke called high-profile princes from all parties in the Northwest, obviously wanting to take this opportunity to establish the authority of Rusend in the Northwest, and to stabilize the real Northwest boss Vikia Falcon.
But the brutal king who had previously made the entire Northwest tremble with fear and trembling, but now his face was clear and calm, and he was still in the mood to let his royal chef cook honey-cooked roe to eat, just this At one point, the Duke of Dunkirk was amused by his previous concerns. Fortunately, the secret marriage proposal was rejected. Otherwise, he would be ashamed.
I am such a precious daughter. If we are married, the future of the Principality of Dunkirk is really unreliable!
The Duke of Dunkirk secretly wiped a cold sweat. He didn't mind that Vijaya Falcon had ten princesses, but when faced with a starving ghost who didn’t shine at all, he thought of the fate of the Duchy of Dunkirk. Hooking up with this person, I felt very annoyed that I had promised the Vicia Falcon this time to cover its entry into Ruosende.
" I’ve always been serious! I’m just not used to expressing it with seriousness. I hope your Excellency the Duke will not mind. "The fat man smirked, put down the knife and fork in his hand, took the rag on the table, wiped it, and hit one. Snapping his fingers, a guard walked in and cleaned up the table.
The fat man touched his stomach and stood up. Through the window beside the Duke of Dunkirk, he looked at the front hall where music was coming from outside, and said slowly, "It's a good atmosphere, why should I break it?"
"What do you mean?" The Duke of Dunkirk was taken aback.
"Bump" came knocking outside the door
"Come in!" The fat man turned around, and a guard pushed in. He glanced at the Duke of Dunkirk next to the fat man. He hesitated and didn't know if he should say it.
"Since your Majesty has something, I will..."The Duke of Dunkirk wanted to stand up and see that this gift is secret
"Just talk about it, I believe the Lord Duke!"
To the Duke of Dunkirk’s expectation, the fat man waved his hand coldly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious. The Duke of Dunkirk suddenly felt a pressure, and just now he smirked and looked harmless. Vicia Falcon, at this moment, there is a pressure that makes people afraid to face it. The strong feeling of doing it at will. It seems that everything is under its control. It makes people feel that a thousand armies are avoiding the way, and the armies bow their heads. At this moment, the Duke of Dunkirk rarely remembered the word "Military God"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The guard nodded respectfully, and took out a document from his arms. Signed my name!"
"Leave it there!" The fat man waved his hand, his face was plain,
The guard placed the papers on the table respectfully. On the other side of the table, the Duke of Dunkirk’s eyes were almost bursting. The word Lengweijun mentioned in the guard’s mouth made him stay. There, I felt a chill rushing from the tail vertebra to my forehead,
What's the situation! The Duke of Dunkirk feels overwhelmed. Although Lengwei County is not big ~ IndoMTL.com~ can even be called low resources and remote, but it is the only way between Ruosende and the northwest coast. It was called the Great Portal, but just like this, he knew that the Wan Falcon Army had assembled on standby in the connecting area opposite Lengwei County. Among them, Wan's swift and windy cavalry were unprepared. Enough for thousands of troops to advance straight, all the way to the capital of Ruosend
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, the Duke of Dunker would never believe that there would be such a thing. In just half a day, without any noise, not even a trace of wind or rain, the gateway to this landslide would have been Quietly open in front of the Wan Dajun of Vicia Falcon.
"My people are all soldiers, some of them don't understand the rules very well, I made the Duke laugh!" When the guards left, the fat man sat down opposite the Duke of Dunkirk and took a look at the documents on the table.
"Actually, the Lord Duke reminded me well. The Duke Locke, who is in the middle of the town, is indeed a bit clever,
and I know how to use the current situation, but unfortunately it’s still a little tender after all,
Do you really think that being able to play some tricks to take advantage of it can shock the whole situation?
joke! The real strength was created by himself. He wanted to play all at once, but he never thought that others would dare to play "Black and White Kill"
I also want to see how many people are really willing to work for this new master at the critical moment when they are coming to the city.
