Power and Empire Chapter 1626: Black and White Kill (3)
"President Timothy!"
The Danis County Guard looked at the people who stopped next to him, with a little 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 his happiest period of time since he became the county guard,
I feel very fulfilled every day. A large number of caravans are rolling in from the northwest coast. Wealth that I never dreamed of before is also like a pie falling from the sky that knocks him out. It comes from all kinds of luxury across the sea. Goods, a large number of labor needs, as long as people with long hands and feet can get a job in such business dealings. In the past, we always saw groups of idle people in cities and villages. ,
Just last month, the tax collected through the caravan reached 50,000 gold coins. This sudden astronomical figure made the Danish County Guard, who has always been accustomed to suffering. 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. Twenty-year-old horse-drawn carriages are now riding with gold family crests on the outside, using precious plain white wooden horse carriages comparable to the earl’s family, or, even the earl’s envy, the flower of Danis. Within a few months, I completed my life's extravagant hope.
The carriage is the face of a nobleman. Danis still remembers the scene when he entered 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, Lord Mitty. , That hot gaze can'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’s the first time that the aloof Prime Minister invited himself to stay for a dinner. In the end, he even got an invitation from the Duke’s Mansion. It’s a dreamlike son who, as a small local county guard, caused the entire duchy’s capital. Note that at that time, he was the focus of the entire capital,
Recall this every time. Danis was able to tremble slightly with excitement. After returning from the scenery, he renovated his county mansion, so that his companion, the prime minister, would suggest to him. "The Duke's internal affairs needs 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 for 10 years. This is not a good thing, if you can perform better, such as the invitation to repair the mansion People from the capital go to the banquet, or to give some help to the Principality’s finances. Perhaps at this year’s annual banquet, you will have the opportunity to enter the third seat in front. You know, that is the treasurer whom the Lord Duke trusts most. If you are qualified to sit, your Excellency will be the first of the Danis family to serve as the treasurer of the Principality.
Danis was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights, and such a change. Not only the county guard house, but the entire Lengwei county. With the close exchange of caravans, the demand for labor is also great. With Lengwei County as the center, the population of several nearby counties is also gathering here. Danis can feel that a great era is sweeping. Lengwei County is fermenting and spreading, and it is getting rid of the previous poor hats and reborn,
And all this is undoubtedly inseparable from the man in front of me,
Timothy, president of the Cold End County Chamber of Commerce, a man who holds the lifeblood of Cold End County’s economy in his hands.
After hesitating 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 is indeed a bit annoying, I just received a notice from the capital, asking Lengwei County to treat the Chamber of Commerce Restrict! And also told me that I was too close to the caravan"
Danis shrugged his shoulders 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 the difficulties of the adults, but we are a little regretful!"
Timothy’s face was calm, as if he had expected it a long time ago. "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’ face has 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 bitter as himself, I believe I don’t care about the orders of the capital,
"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. "The God of Tissini said indifferently" as long as we were willing to Provided 10,000 gold coins to Castle Quentin every month, and Castle Quentin will express silence on the passage of the caravan.
"There is a densely forested mountain area. Even if someone is sent to investigate, 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 quite sincere in this respect, the sir. You are obviously more suitable for us. Therefore, Lengwei County was only found by the Chamber of Commerce, 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...Is there nothing else to consider?"
Danis looked out the window with a whitish face, sweat on his forehead, bloodshot eyes, a little sour in his heart, like watching a good thing that he finally got, but he had to give it to Others, too aggrieved!
"Actually, why didn't the county guard think about it for yourself?" Tissini said unexpectedly, "If Lengwei County can be transformed into a zìyóu commercial collar, it would not be better!"
"Zìyóu business leader?" Danis's eyes lighted up, but soon dimmed, and he resolutely said, "This is impossible. The capital is very dissatisfied with the current situation. How can it agree to such a request!"
"That's not necessarily true! At least as far as I know, there are many towns on the northwest coast that are owned by zìyóu. They don't need to bear heavy tributes, but instead use trade taxes!" Danis was silent. Speak 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. , And for the important local ministers, the new duke obviously has no foundation and hope. It is difficult to convince the public"
"So I believe that within a short time, the conflict between the local county guard and the capital will break out"
"I don’t know which side the county guard will be on when the time comes? As far as I know, the new duke has no affection for the adults, let alone a confidant, and the important local ministers are irrelevant to Lengwei County. Small area. There will be nothing too important,
"So, no matter who is the winner in the end, the county guard has only one possibility to be exchanged"
"Okay, needless to say, I know what you want to say. But, do you think this is really possible? What benefit can I get by investing in the northwest coast? Is that the falcon king Would you believe that I am sincere? In the end, the two sides are not human!" Danis' eyes were bloodshot, and he waved his hand to Tissini
"That may not be true. Why does Lord Danis look down on himself so much!"
Tissini smiled slightly, thinking it was time for the showdown. He took out a signed appointment letter from his arms and gently placed it in front of Danis
"This is a letter of appointment specially 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 northwest coast, and the northwest coast will not make any comments.
And the county guard can use a neutral identity to sit and watch the struggle between the capital and the local ministers, wait until the dust has settled, and then declare his position. With the strong military power of the northwest coast, even the victor will If you have opinions, you 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 military is well known, and the Falcon is even more a fierce hero in the name of the **** of war. 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 heirloom treasure!"
Tissini took a deep breath, and tried to withdraw his gaze from the appointment letter as well, with unconcealable envy in his tone. That is the handwriting of His Majesty Falcon. Although it looks a little awkward, it is precisely. It is the 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 evacuate tomorrow, There will be a farce of assassination because of dissatisfaction with the county guard,
Then, the Chamber of Commerce took advantage of the chaos to control the entire area of Lengwei County. In the previous two months, the Chamber of Commerce has completely penetrated into the county's large and small institutions, and it is completely possible to achieve the goal of full control.
In another room of the mansion, the fat man who was staying as a guard was leisurely fighting with a saury fish stuffed with honey, he cut the grilled golden fish with a knife, and cooked the fish roe inside with a spoon. When the sauce is taken out, the skewers of roe are transparent and sparkling, with the fragrance of honey wine and the unique refreshing taste of roe. When pressed under the base of the tongue, one can hear the sound of the skewers of roe cracking due to squeezing, and the juice inside. Down the throat along the tongue,
"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 somewhat depressed Duke of Dunker leaned against On the couch,
The backyard of the county guard house is not big. The noise from the front hall is clearly audible. Hundreds of guards control all corners of the backyard. There is no need to worry about being heard in the conversation, so the Duke of Dunkirk I directly use the title of Majesty Falcon.
"This is the Duke, your chef, but not mine!" The fat man sucked the spoonful of caviar into his mouth and rolled his eyes at the Duke of Dunkirk. Haha smiled "Actually, I don't care when I arrive, I just ran into it. How can I also try the most famous honey-cooked roe of Dunkirk!"
"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 Mo Sè's juice was still hanging around his mouth, and he said vaguely. "Isn't he just a proud little guy. If he wants to play, he will play with him." Play, I don’t believe it. He can still play with a flower!"
"Little guy? Behind this little guy is Kyoto's eye on the northwest, and 180,000 troops may crush the northwest army 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 the powerful monarch who quickly controlled the northwestern coast for two years.
But this time I saw that this war **** who is called by the outside world to sit on the northwest coast of 200,000 troops, looks down the entire northwest like a tiger, is really ordinary and a bit too much. The Duke called high-profile princes from all sides in the northwest, obviously wanting to take this opportunity to establish the authority of Rusend in the northwest. Want to stabilize the real Northwest boss Vicia Falcon,
But the barbarian king who had previously made the entire Northwest tremble with fear and trembling, now has a clear face, and he is still in the mood to let his royal chef cook honey-cooked roe to eat, just this a little. The Duke of Dunkirk was amused by his previous concerns, but fortunately the secret proposal of marriage was rejected. If you don’t lose face, you will be ashamed.
I'm just such a baby girl. If we get married, the future of the Principality of Dunkirk is really unreliable!
The Duke of Dunkirk secretly wiped out a cold sweat. He didn't mind that Vekia Falcon had ten princesses, but facing 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 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 the 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 for a moment
The sound of knocking outside the door of "Bump"
"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 he could see that this gift was secret
"Just say anything, I believe the Duke!"
Unexpectedly by the Duke of Dunkirk, the Fatty God waved his hand coldly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious. The Duke of Dunkirk suddenly felt a pressure. He just smiled and looked harmless. The Vicky Falcon, at this moment, is showing a pressure that people dare not face. The strong feeling of doing things at will. It seems that everything is under its control. It makes people feel like a thousand soldiers avoiding the way. The feeling of bowing his head, at this moment, the Duke of Dunkirk rarely remembered the word "Military God"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The guard **** Sè nodded respectfully, and took out a document from his arms. "This is from the front office. Danis, the county guard of Lengwei County, is already in his majesty's appointment letter. I signed my name!"
"Put it there!" The fat man waved his hand, his face was plain,
The guard put 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 felt overwhelmed. Although Lengwei County is not large, it can even be called resource-poor and remote, but it is the only way between Ruosende and the northwest coast, and it can be called a gateway, but In this way, he knew that in the connecting area opposite Lengwei County, 60,000 Falcons had already assembled on standby. Among them, 30,000 swift cavalry could be enough for thousands of troops. Go straight to IndoMTL.com~ all the way to the capital of Ruosend
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the Duke of Dunkir would definitely not believe that there would be such a thing. For a short period of half a day, without any noise, not even a trace of wind and rain, the gateway to this untouched was already Quietly opened up in front of the 60,000 army of Vijay Falcons.
"My people are soldiers, some of them don't understand the rules very well, so the Duke laughed!" When the guards left, the fat man sat down opposite the Duke of Dunkirk and took a look at the papers on the table.
"In fact, the Lord Duke reminded me well, the Duke Locke, who is in the Sands, is indeed a bit clever.
And I know how to use the current situation, but unfortunately it is still a little tender after all,
Do you really think that being able to play with some tricks that blindly 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 take a look. When it comes to the critical moment of coming to the city, there are a hundred thousand soldiers who are really willing to work for this new master! "(An.)an.read.)
