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, all kinds of expensive luxury goods,

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 Gangfei. There are a lot of luxury goods, and you can constantly see carriages inlaid with various noble emblems staying in front of these shops, and one by one nobles or graceful ladies in palaces

"My lord, what are we doing here?"

A guard asked curiously. In the minds of the guards, the nerve-wracking regimental commander Saron 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 rainstorm,

Smacking the scared and pale businessman's face, large and small, he immediately fell to the ground and **** off. Since then, no one has dared to give gifts to the rumored grumpy Salon

"Let’s find an answer! "Saron, who had a relaxed look just now, has piercing eyes at the moment, looking at the dazzling array of streets, she said solemnly.

"Answer?" The guard **** sè 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, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sake!

Because the southwest 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, and a clear enlightenment flashed in his heart. Your Majesty did not give the Southwest to others, but to himself, probably because he was in the Northwest, and he had seen his Majesty Falcon with his own eyes, how to use the magical technique of business expansion to bring a barren land to the northwest. In just two years, it has become a prosperous place with millions of people.

Merchant ships are like clouds, and horse teams are constantly shuttled on the road. As a caravan from the mainland, the southwest is the first transit station in the Barrow region of northern Europe. It is just such an opportunity to take advantage of the southwest. Strong foundation. The Gaul Empire has operated in the Southwest for many years and has always been a barrier against the Congolese. It has a dense population, numerous towns, rich minerals, and a complete forging industry.

Although it has experienced a big turmoil. However, with the exception of the southwestern capital in the core area, other regions suffered little volatility. The demobilization of more than 100,000 Southwest Army and the infusion of a large number of laborers into various industries in the Southwest made the development of the Southwest suddenly in a delicate stage of impending explosion. The Southwest is self-evident to the empire's importance in Oubaro, not just the military. It also lies in its status as an economic hub,

His Majesty Falcon does not hesitate to take risks and go to war with Gang Fei. In addition to completely dispelling Gang Fei’s prying heart of the Southwest, she also changed the style of chasing after the war and chose before the war was fully expanded. Negotiating with Gangfei, the hundreds of thousands of Emperor ** team stopped at the border and continued to deepen, like a war horse about to gallop. The rein was suddenly reined, this is because your majesty has deliberately left a little room for Gang Fei.

The cessation of the military front does not mean that the expansion of the empire has also stalled. War is only an extension of politics. At this time, standing in this unfamiliar country in Kyoto, Saran realized this very clearly. According to the previous strategic policy of His Majesty Falcon, since he has knocked on the door of the country, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to deepen the business line. One point, even a martial artist like Salon can clearly grasp the rhythm of the next step of the empire,

The southwest is about to become a breakthrough to drive the empire's commerce and trade, 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 original Southwest was mainly aimed at the commerce and trade lines of Nordic Barrow, then the current Southwest has undoubtedly become the intersection of Nordic Barrow and Central European Barrow. Such a southwest will truly become a place in Obaro. Region, together with the commercial gathering centers of north, south, east, and west,

"Your Majesty's plan should be like this!" After thinking about this, Salong's heart trembled, and even his blood boiled. As a military commander, he has become the leader of the emperor, and he is the peak of the military commander's unilateral promotion. Participating in the Falcon Army for five years, killing hundreds of thousands of enemies, the brilliant record can only be stopped by Wufu.

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. From this moment, it's the prologue that has come.

In the end, Salong's eyes became sharp. He decided to give it a try. He took off a huge red gemstone ring worn on his left **** with his right hand, and held it heavily in his palm. It is necessary to understand the market of Gangfei. A good way is to touch its bottom line first. Hu Keqili can write a report on the Gauls, and he can also write a report on the business of Congolese and Africa.

That’s it, Salon’s eyes finally focused on a jewelry store in the center of the street

Jewelry is the most frequent in luxury goods transactions. During the Ikkadiva War of Unification, the jewels of nobles and royal families of various countries were scattered among 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 mad 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 merchant to be clambered by. He's confidant general, so he always keeps a certain distance from the businessman, but he can't completely refuse it. After all, at his level, many relationships cannot be pushed away.

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 did not know the value of luxury goods, but he also knew that such a big ruby ​​ring was absolutely valuable Above two hundred thousand gold coins, it was His Majesty Falcon who personally led the army to go south and rush into Rude. Because the Saronian Legion had just experienced the fierce Stalos battle, it dragged down the 200,000 Swadian army alive at the cost of half of the soldiers killed.

In that deadly battle, Saron's main legion was completely maimed, so that it missed the subsequent battle of Rude's destruction.

While regretting, Saron also urgently needed a sum of money to house the dead and wounded soldiers, but the imperial treasury fully supported the battle of Rude, temporarily unable to pay such a large amount of funds, and finally a member of the business alliance The deacon, gave this gift and 500,000 gold coins as funding, and also promised to sponsor the army for free 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 sum he has received, adding up to more than 1.5 million gold coins.

Even Saraon, a brave fellow, felt a little uneasy about speculation. It was not until later that the most mysterious deacon of the business alliance had an unusual relationship with His Majesty, and he slowly recollected it.

The money and food. It was originally given by His Majesty Falcon privately, and the reason was obvious, in order to avoid dissatisfaction with other generals participating in the Battle of Starros at that time. After all, in that battle, Saron’s main legion suffered heavy losses, and the zhōngyāng legion, the western legion, and the northern legion all had their own casualties. Just for the Saron Legion to be so skewed, it will undoubtedly cause rifts within the Falcon Army and cause the disadvantages of the conquest of the German War.

This shop is the largest shop on this street, and the decoration is also the most gorgeous. Not only are there a whole row of beautiful girls in neat palace dresses standing at the door, but every person who enters the shop will be guided by a beautiful lady wearing a blue sè long skirt. The scale of this shop is very large. , Even in the Falcon Empire’s Kyoto, a fifty-meter-long shop like "rì Wading", known as the capital of luxury goods, is very rare.

In Rì Wading, a commercial street with an inch of land, the minimum value of a 50-meter store is also more than one million gold coins, and so on. In the Congo, the imperial 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 crown of the most famous jewelry in Kyoto. It is only open to nobles above the status of Viscount. The entry fee is a deposit of 10,000 gold coins. If the Governor is just curious to check it out, it is better not to go."

Just when Salon was about to walk towards this shop, Pfeiffer yīn, who had been in the weapon shop just now, appeared in his soul. Behind the Pfeiffer Grand Duke, just 4 There are only three followers left, an old man and two young men. The old man with the gold mark on the cuff just now disappeared

"A deposit of ten thousand gold coins? It's kind of interesting!" Salong stopped slightly, and then he was going 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!" Grand Duke Pufei didn't expect that Saron would behave like this, and he quickly stopped in front of Saron again, concentrating Said

"The reason why I am here is to negotiate a very urgent jewelry sale"

"Jewelry business?"Saron looked at the eager face of Grand Duke Pufei who was blocking him, his eyes flashed with confusion

"Hehe, I'm here to sell jewelry to be exact!" Grand Duke Pufei put down his hindering hand, his face flushed slightly, and 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 jewelry industry of the Gangfei Empire is very famous in Central Europe. It is famous for its exquisite craftsmanship, gorgeous texture, and rare materials. It is a symbol of many ladies and ladies expressing their luxury status. Many nobles 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. Such a large shop not only sells jewellery, but also serves as a transit point for jewellery everywhere!" Seeing that Saron didn’t say anything, Duke Pufei said in embarrassment

"I think you got it wrong, I also went to sell jewellery!" Saraon smiled slightly, loosened his five fingers holding the ruby, revealing the huge red ruby ​​like flames 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 was a great prince of a country, he had never seen such a huge ruby, but it was still so pure. Hardly any impurities are visible, and the surface is even more soft like water flowing, like blood, with the chill of a treasure, how can Grand Duke Purfeit see that this is definitely the best 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 jewel of the crown of the first king of Swadian, Fatty spent 5 million to purchase all the collections of the Swadian royal family, among them this "Knight's Light" Fatty made this important to Swadian The meaning of the "Knight's Light" was secretly handed over to Salon as a reward. It did not mean that he was rewarded for dragging the last trace of Swadian's luck in the Battle of Stalos. It is a pity that in the eyes of the warrior of Salon, this 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 tossed the ruby ​​in his hand and looked at Grand Duke Pufei with a green face with a smile of three hundred thousand. Grand Duke Pufei felt that he was not only trying to sell iron, but also to sell all the mice in the palace. It is not enough, if the taxes of the previous principality are still there. It is estimated that it will take a year to buy.

"So it turns out, I'm too rude!" Grand Duke Pufei gave way with embarrassment. In order to express his apology, he respectfully put his right hand on his chest. Bent over and gave a noble courtesy to Salon

"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!" The gaze swept across the opponent's finger inadvertently, 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 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 sè ring with the shape of a flying falcon. Such a ring has been seen countless times. Been there,

But it was on the fingers of His Majesty Falcon!

"Come here, surround them!"

Saron suddenly took a step back and shouted sharply to the guards behind him. The dozen guards behind him quickly rushed forward, yelling! 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 was astonished.

"Governor Salon, what is this for?"

The Duke of Purfee tried to be calm, but his heart was already screwed together. These seemingly guarding fighters hadn't put him on his mind, but at this moment, he suddenly attacked, and the murderous intent of the guards who had been fighting for a long time quickly removed from it. The body spreads out

The piercing feeling made Prince Purfeit secretly cry out. These fighters are definitely tough guys who kill people without blinking. The most frightening thing is that a dozen people barely rehearse beforehand, just stand at random. The position where Shi stood, but the tacit understanding just blocked all the 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 looks like a barbarian from a field!"

"Yes, the one trapped in the middle seems to be a great nobleman from the field!" Gang Fei people were talking 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 in the street, the welcome lady at the door of the store suddenly screamed with fright, and the scene became chaotic.

"Where did the heraldry 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!" sè heavy as water, sè said slowly to the pale Duke Pufei

"This...this..."

The Duke of Purfeit’s forehead was full of sweat, and the other party turned his face too fast. In the blink of an eye, the other party’s attitude was as if he wanted to eat himself 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 the streets just outside of Kyoto be allowed to be rampaged by the barbarians!" A lazy voice came from not far away, a man dressed in brocade satin silk The young nobleman walked from the direction of the shop. The **** looked at Salon and a dozen guards standing in the center of the street arrogantly, then looked at the Duke Pufei who was trapped in the middle, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Seems to think of something.

"Step on"

The entrance to the street in the distance~IndoMTL.com~ A team of non-light cavalry rushed in. The leader was the Count of Remchat who had negotiated before. He saw the tension here and was immediately ten meters away. He grabbed the horse, jumped down quickly from above, shouted with a serious face

"Governor Saron, this is the Kyoto where I am just a Fei Fei. If you act so rashly, it will cause trouble!"

"Trouble?" Salong glanced at him, her face was cold, and the corners of her mouth suddenly 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 A clear explanation, my majesty will definitely go south again. At that time, it was not so easy to talk!"

"Your Excellency, what does this mean?"

Earl Remchart froze for a moment. He hurried over when he heard that the governor of the Falcon Empire had a sword on the street, and it seemed to trap someone. 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 Remshat could perceive the soaring fighting intent contained in it. This time, something really went wrong!
