Could it be that he really looked at such a good opportunity to be the president in front of him this time, but he let it slip away in vain! But I didn't bring that much money, could this be the revelation of the gods to me! Is the position of the president really so far away from him?
Thinking of this, Liu Fei felt frustrated, but thinking that the position of the president was so close to him, he felt unwilling: "This price is too high, this makes it difficult for me to do it, can the patriarch reduce it some!" ”
Zhao Hu saw the frustration on Liu Fei's face, and said in a disapproving whisper: "If the envoy has any difficulties, for the sake of the deep friendship between the Falcon family and the envoy, I can promise the envoy to temporarily deposit the goods with me first, as long as you can receive the payment within a month, you can pick up the goods at any time!" ”
When Liu Fei heard that he didn't have to pay the full amount immediately, he suddenly came to his senses, several bigwigs in the organization had opinions on the current president like himself, and they could just join forces to buy these artifacts, and each person contributed a part of the money, and the burden was not very big.
"The patriarch is right! If I could have paid the full amount right away, I accepted the price! ”
Zhao Hu fumbled around his fat body for a while before taking out a crumpled piece of parchment from the pocket of his pajamas and handing it to the inexplicable Liu Fei.
"Of course, of course, I'm the patriarch of the Falcon family, so I can't deceive the envoy! Let's sign this sale and purchase agreement! As soon as the envoy's money arrives, the goods can be taken away! ”
Liu Fei took it strangely, it turned out to be a contract for the sale and purchase of twelve artifacts, glanced at Zhao Hu with an embarrassed face, and quickly explained: "Patriarch, I was in too much of a hurry when I came, and I didn't bring my own seal!" ”
"Without a seal? I have a way, it's simple. Zhao Hu looked at Liu Fei with his eyes, and felt that the other party was really not lying, so he stretched out his fat right hand unhurriedly and grabbed Liu Fei's right hand, and the long nail of the thumb of his right hand gently scratched the palm of Liu Fei's hand, and immediately a cracked blood mark appeared along the palm line.
"Patriarch, you are 、、、、、、、"
Liu Fei felt that his right hand was clamped by an iron tong, and suddenly his palm was itchy, and he was stunned to see Zhao Hu easily cut his palm with his fingernails, and blood gushed out from the blood stains, so that the whole palm of his hand was like a red bloody hand, but the fat man holding his hand opposite, with an unfinished expression, muttered to himself: "Oops! It seems to be a bit off! It's been a long time since I've practiced this finger, and I've lost it! ”
Liu Fei hurriedly said: "Enough, patriarch, if it goes down, I will lose too much blood and faint!" ”
The fat man brazenly put Liu Fei's blood-stained right thumb on the lower corner of the contract and pressed a bloody handprint, and then used his right thumb to stick it in the blood of Liu Fei's hand, pressed a handprint on the other corner of the contract, and finally put the contract book into his arms, and said to Liu Fei with a sneer: "I heard that the special envoy still has a batch of important goods to be escorted to the north, so I will not delay the special envoy again!" I hope the envoy will send the money over soon! ”
"Haha! It's really a horse without night grass and no fat, no windfall and no wealth, he earned 240,000 gold coins from the vice president of Liuyu so easily, if this Liu Fei knew that these artifacts would soon be produced and sold in large quantities, I don't know if he would regret hitting the wall for his impulsiveness tonight! ”
"Money is the last word, and you can't do anything without money!"
As the head of the Falcon family, Zhao Hu is now deeply touched by this sentence, he used to think that his territory was not bad, even if he was not rich but not poor, he was also ranked in the forefront of the second-rate families of the empire.
But after these few contacts with Vice President Liuyu Liu Fei, Zhao Hu knew how big the gap between the second-rate family and the first-class family was.
Just the vice president of a Rainstorm smuggling organization raised by the Ankers family of the northern tycoons, can easily take out 60,000 gold coins that he can't imagine.
In the eyes of these top families, it is estimated that the status of the Falcon family is not much better than that of a poor hillbilly in the south. The fat man, who was thinking about how to make a fortune, happened to see the dodging figure of the old butler appear outside the door of the hall, and hurriedly greeted: "You have come just in time, this is a golden ticket of 60,000 gold coins, you ask the tax collector Stad to bring some more soldiers and a few carriages, and transport this money back from the branch set up in Kuta City by Liuyu in the north, these days, I have been annoyed by him and gone crazy!" For the sake of the 300 gold coins for this celebration banquet, this guy almost didn't pull out his knife to fight me in a duel! ”
The old butler was very strange to this mysterious envoy just now, and now he stood outside the hall door with a strange face and watched Zhao Hu and Liu Fei talking secretly at the round table.
Although I don't know what the young master and this mysterious envoy are talking about, but by seeing two people pointing at the "artifact" from a distance, I can guess some, guessing that this time the family's artifact is going to be "a loser and a fat man!" "Sold it.
Of course, the contemptuous title of "loser and fat man" did not come from the mouth of the loyal old butler, but from the mouth of the family tax collector who had been very troubled lately.
The old butler knew that the Falcon family had long been in financial distress due to infighting and division of side branches, especially in the last few battles to unify the family, the huge army and various expenses had almost dried up the family's treasury accumulated for a year.
The tax collector in charge of finance and taxation has been complaining for half a month, and his compact eyebrows have not been stretched, and when he sees the eyes of anyone who comes to withdraw the gold coins, he is like seeing his own hateful enemy, and he longs to buckle a piece of meat off everyone's body, and write the word saving on every gold coin. Secretly scolded his lord as a "loser and fat!" The most generous poor lord of the empire! ”
The old housekeeper knew the young master's idea of playing twelve artifacts, and it was not a day or two, although he had always opposed the young master selling the artifact in exchange for military expenses, but in the face of the current financial predicament that the family was in, this may be the best way to solve the problem now.
However, the 60,000 gold coins in the young master's mouth still shocked the old butler who thought he was well-informed, and the old butler, who knew the family's financial situation, knew that it was a great thing to have a surplus of 3,000 gold coins after the settlement of previous years.
These 60,000 gold coins! It's enough to be worth the entire Falcon family's taxes for two years, or the kind of situation where there are no expenses.
During the twenty-one years of the old marquis's tenure, there was no concept of tens of thousands of gold coins in the treasury, and most of the taxes became the salaries of the knights, and only a small part became the compensation of the fallen soldiers.
In the worst year, there was only a surplus of thirty or twenty gold coins, and the old marquis had to sell some of his belongings to get through the difficulties.
Therefore, even the old butler, who thinks he is well-informed and has served the Falcon family all his life, is the first time he has come into contact with such a large amount of gold coins.
Seeing the old butler's big mouth that he was able to swallow a fist in surprise, Zhao Hu thought teasingly: "This is only 60,000 gold coins, if the old housekeeper knows that he has just made a big deal of 240,000 gold coins, he won't faint!" ”
Seeing the proud look on his young master's face, the old housekeeper who had already understood his own money-loving young master had a clear mind, and with an embarrassed face, he took out a document from his arms and handed it to Zhao Hu, the fiery red lion head postmark in the middle of the envelope was so eye-catching!
This is a letter signed by Zhao Hu's grandfather, the current Imperial Marshal Duke Gist personally signed the military order document of the Ministry of Military Affairs, this unique red wax is dedicated to the Ministry of Military Affairs, indicating that the military situation is like fire and cannot be delayed.
If it is a letter from the Ministry of the Interior, it is postmarked with a blue postmark, indicating that the emperor's benevolence is as wide as the sea, and in the case of the Ministry of Finance, it is a yellow-orange-orange gold-yellow postmark, like an upside-down gold coin.
"Young master, this is the order I just received from the Ministry of Military Affairs to cancel this autumn's "hunting", it is said that the Kazakhs in the north have invaded the northern border in a big way, and I am afraid that this year will be an eventful year! ”
"Young Master, the vehicle of the Northern Rainstorm Chamber of Commerce transporting armor and gold coins has arrived at the castle, a full fourteen carts of supplies, ten carts are weapons, and three carts should be the sixty thousand gold coins! What should I do? ”
The old butler ran over with a happy face and reported that when the car entered the castle just now, the attentive old butler made a special eye and found that in addition to the ten freight carriages loaded with weapons and armor in front of him, there were three other box carriages wrapped in black cloth.
It was a hermetically sealed carriage used by lords to transport gold coins, and was usually made entirely of fine iron up to five centimeters thick, making it difficult to open without a key even if someone robbed them on the road.
The heavy rut marks and creaking sounds, and if you listen closely, you can even hear the subtle sound of metal, and you can tell yourself without a doubt, "That's a whole three carts of gold coins!" ”
"It's here so soon!" The old housekeeper's report made Zhao Hu hesitate, so many supplies, Zhao Hu thought that it would take at least half a month to transport them to his castle, but he didn't expect that it would only take three days to get them all together.
"It seems that I still fell for Liu Fei, an old fox, I knew that Liuyu was strong, but I didn't expect it to be so strong! I'm still too kind, and I soften my heart when I see people crying! ”
The fat man opened his mouth slightly, recovering from his surprise, and couldn't help but feel sad that he had missed an excellent opportunity to "rob the rich and help the poor".
