Living room.

Mars sat down in a specially made chair, and in a short time a middle-aged man with a big belly, dressed in fine clothes, walked in steadily, with curly brown hair and a white face that showed that the merchant was pampered.

Seeing the prince in the special chair, the merchant immediately stroked his chest and saluted, "Your Royal Highness, I am a merchant of the kingdom of Finlay, Abs Hari, I admire the prince's talent, and I have come to pay a visit, and offer my sincere blessings, praise the god of water, and give us water that moistens all things." ”

The state religion of Finlay is the Water God Palace, and he believes in the water god Pokur, but Mars is not religious, and there is no need to respond to the Finlay merchants, he frowned slightly, but still politely asked Absian to sit down, and then said slowly: "I accept your blessing, please explain your true intentions, Mr. Harry." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the merchant Arbus, during this time, he naturally made an investigation of the Seven Princes of Sunset City, and also knew that Mars was not religious, but he did have real talents and learning, and it was just a temptation just now, and it was really like an investigation.

Arbus is an ambitious businessman, and the Harry Chamber of Commerce has a branch not only in Angela, but also in Sunset City, because the border of the Sunset Kingdom is close to the Misty Forest, and he specializes in buying some specialties from the Misty Forest, such as snow mushrooms.

He investigated the situation in Sunset City very clearly, for more than ten years, King Quinn XIII did not appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, which explained some problems, and most of the other heirs were very mediocre, but the seventh prince Mars, who was the proton of Angela, was somewhat extraordinary, and his reputation resounded in the Angela academic circle.

This gave him a path, a path to the rise of the Harry family.

Unlike other countries, the Kingdom of Finlay is a country with great agricultural and commercial development, but its military power is very weak, and the king of Finlay does not seem to have inherited the bravery of his ancestors, so under the threat of falcons and timberwolves, he completely fell into the arms of Angela.

The royal family of Finlay has to pay thirty percent of the taxes to Angela every year, and these taxes have formed a knight order for Queen Angela, it can be said that Angela can become the most powerful country in the Seven Kingdoms, and the Kingdom of Finlay has a great credit.

But this led to the result that there was no way for civilians or merchants in the Finlay Kingdom to be promoted.

Many nobles first became knights at the beginning, and then established meritorious deeds and were canonized, but the kingdom of Finlay was protected by Anqi's strong military force, and the formation of its own knights was slow, and for hundreds of years, many kings retained only the knights of the royal capital and the knights of the personal guard.

As a result, it was much more difficult for the commoners of the Finlay Kingdom to become nobles, but the merchants, unwilling to be mediocre, began to look for investment, and they set their sights on the royal families of other countries, especially the possible heirs to the throne other than Angela.

The Harry Family Chamber of Commerce is only second-rate in Finlay Country, but its ancestors have also made the Chamber of Commerce first-class, so the wealth is also very strong, and it can pave the way for its ambitions, while the Harry family only needs to find potential investment partners.

"My youngest son Miral is eight years old this year, he is quite dislike business, but he loves to read, originally I wanted to hire a teacher, but I heard that His Royal Highness the prince has only learned people, I dare not hire His Royal Highness as Miral's teacher, but if you can give a little guidance to Miral, the Harry family will be grateful. ”

Abs explained what he was trying to do.

"Teacher?"

Mars's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, contemplating the meaning of Arbus's words. He reads a lot, but he is not a nerd, let alone a stupid person, and he walks on thin ice every step of his life in Angela, so he is naturally very cautious.

A stranger to Finlay who came to him just to guide his youngest son to study? Who would believe it?

However, he suddenly thought of the secret letter from Sunset City, and instantly understood, it seemed that the Harry family wanted to invest in him.

Thinking like this, his mind suddenly opened, if it was three months ago, he would not hesitate to refuse, but since Sally mysteriously disappeared and received a secret letter from Sunset City, his mind began to come alive.

Mars knows very well that he can't be a proton for the rest of his life, and when the new king of Sunset City ascends the throne, his role as a proton will be worthless and will be abandoned at any time, and even the living expenses of a hundred gold knives will not be estimated for himself.

And, most importantly, for Angela, she will no longer matter, and life and death will not matter to her. Then, he must have enough capital to get out of trouble before the new king ascends the throne.

The arrival of the merchant Arbus was just the right relief for his urgent need.

"Mr. Arbus, I feel your sincerity, and I grant your request, that your youngest son, Miral, may come here at any time to study. ”

Mars said lightly, he must have the pride of a nobleman, even if he is a rich businessman, without a title, he is still a commoner.

Of course, he hated it, but he had to do it at this time, or it would make Arbus suspicious.

Sure enough, a smile like a flower bloomed on Arbus's face, and he immediately got up and stroked his chest and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." ”

Then he said: "I heard that His Highness likes snow mushroom porridge, I sent someone to buy a lot of snow mushrooms from the Misty Forest, as well as the exclusive recipe of Old Mike in Port Town, and I will give it to His Highness tomorrow." ”

Mars was overjoyed, but said lightly on his face: "Mr. Arbus is too polite. ”

Next, the two talked about some customs of the Ryan Kingdom and so on, and deepened their understanding of each other.

And Mars can be regarded as having a certain understanding of the Harry family, especially in the Harry Chamber of Commerce in Angela, there are three three-masted merchant ships of the Sea King class, and other merchant ships such as the Sea Lion class and the Sea Wolf class add up to about thirty.

Such a large fleet is enough to show the financial strength of the Harry Chamber of Commerce.

Mars also had a plan in mind, he couldn't escape Angela by land, that could only be by sailboat, Harry Chamber of Commerce was obviously a good choice. However, it depends on how ambitious the Harry family is.

Of course, Mars also knew very well that the businessman unreservedly told him the strength of the Harry Chamber of Commerce, and also clearly told him that the Harry family had wealth and would support him.

......

Early the next morning, when a wagon loaded with goods drove into the manor, Mars was reported by his butler, Sehir.

Saihir's face was full of red light, and his eyes flashed with excitement, "Your Highness, in addition to snow mushrooms and polished rice, there is also a wooden box with three thousand golden knives in it. ”

"Hmm!"

Mars said lightly: "These Uncle Sehir can handle it, but I have a few suggestions. ”

Sehir was immediately in his spirits, and it was the first time since he had been a steward and treasurer that he had received such a large sum of money. He remembered that he had almost blinded him when he opened the wooden box, and the shining golden knives were neatly arranged in the wooden box, and when he counted them one by one, he almost fainted with happiness.

He casually asked, "What advice?"

However, as soon as the words came out, Sehir immediately knew that he was rude, and immediately stroked his chest and saluted, and said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I ......"

Mars interrupted Sehir, "I know that we have not been financially rich in recent years, but my advice is very simple, first, don't spread the word about this golden knife, second, I hope you can make good use of this golden knife, don't be afraid to spend money, you will have it when you spend it, and third, give me a blacksmith shop to order a hundred five-centimeter-long steel needles, I will be useful, of course, don't tell anyone, just know about it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Sehir agreed, but it was very strange in his heart, the first and second could still be understood, but the third prince wanted a hundred steel needles for something, but, as the prince's attendant, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.
