ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм
That Murong Chanjuan fled outside with those Tulip Family people, she didn't believe that she could escape for her life today.
However, those people from the Tulip Family, they were more experienced than that Murong Chanjuan, and they learned to take precautions from the process of the Rose Family's attack.
So, they got ready for fast horses, and some so-called safe houses.
In these safe houses, there are many properties that have been purchased under pseudonyms.
Murong Chanjuan, this guy, she is not like that Murong Yuan, she won the favor of that Tang Zhaozong, so she simply ran away with those Tulip family members.
Although, the matter of that list has been settled by Murong Zhou of the Peony Family through that Tang Zhaozong.
However, that Murong Zhou knew that the negotiation between the Peony family and Tang Zhangwei was just a superficial article.
The spies straightened up and continued their speech: "Since the Lord left, Lord Russell has set out to make peace with Yingzhou City, and has sent four groups of envoys. The first two groups were intercepted by Schernov's troops at the border pass, and the third group successfully arrived in Yingzhou City and began lobbying work. However, in the early days, it was very difficult for us to carry out the development. The people of Yingzhou City were full of hostility towards us, and even with the cooperation of Master Tang Zhangwei, it was difficult to loosen the other party's point of view, and later it even happened that Yingzhou City wanted to increase the reserve troops to the corridor. ”
"And then?"
"In the fourth batch, Lord Russell personally led the team, and for three hours in the State Council Hall of Yingzhou City, many ministers bowed to Lord Russo's eloquence, but only with the obstruction of Chechkov and other hardliners, no agreement was reached. However, Lord Russell managed to keep the envoys of the Tang Overseas Province in Yingzhou City, and set up branches in several major cities.
At present, the situation is relatively stable, and there is no possibility of a major war for the time being. However, half a month ago, Lord Russell suddenly left here, leaving a message saying that Brother Fapu would settle the rest of the matter. ”
"Well-" Russell left suddenly, and it is estimated that there has been a change in the overseas provinces of Datang. But looking at his message at the end, I thought I would get the news that I was about to arrive, and after weighing the pros and cons, I chose to go back to Datang Overseas Province. This big brother really left me with a bunch of problems, but how can I be worthy of his trust.
"By the way, is there any news from the south?" I had been without information for a few days, and I was a little uncomfortable, so I finally asked about it.
The spies looked at each other with strange expressions, and then something came out of their mouths that surprised me.
In less than ten days since the second prince Sam al-Din initiated the rebellion, the Rainbow Knights, who supported Brasil, had reached a place less than 100 miles from the Holy City.
On March 20, al-Saddin issued a proclamation: "...... The daughters of the enemy shall be given all the gold silk to the lonely warriors; During the war, assist the orphans, according to the military merits, they can completely own different sizes of land, hereditary generations; For the generals of King Qin, the one who wins the enemy village is the village head, and the one who wins the enemy county is the county head, and the hereditary Wandai ......"
At first glance, it looks like Al Fasil has been sold in pieces. But because of this, a large number of Qinwang's army appeared in the north, among which the Farlar family responded to Samdin's notice as soon as possible, and the northern death row group went south.
In contrast to Samdin's seductive announcement, the announcement of the second prince Brasil caused another wave: "...... It is everyone's responsibility to fight against the rebels, and all those who join the rebels, regardless of their status, will be citizens with full powers in El-Fasir......"
In any case, this was an opportunity for the servants, and I didn't think that what Shark had begged me to do, someone else had done it first. It's okay, after all, the servants are also Elfasil, and it is better to find freedom in their own country than to let them leave their homeland and go to the overseas provinces of the Tang Dynasty.
"But I still have to take my own responsibility." Whispering to himself, the spy in the car looked at me with wide eyes, a look of bewilderment.
"It's okay-" I waved my hand to dispel their doubts, and just as I wanted to close my eyes and rest for a while, an envoy appeared by the window, "My lord, the holy city of Yingzhou City has arrived......"
After hearing this, I quickly poked my head out, only to see a huge white city faintly in the distance.
Although it is not the first time to come to the Holy City of Yingzhou City, but this time I see it a little different, after all, I know that this city is a little bit on the ice field, and it is built with human lives.
In order to build the city, the people of Yingzhou City successively killed 34,671 people.
To this day, under the thick city walls, the corpses of laborers are still pressed.
This is also the case with the rule of the aristocracy, for more than a thousand years, the system of a few people stepping on the body of the majority now seems to be really rotten.
On April 13, 1354, Wang Li, in my exclamation, we stepped into the holy city of Yingzhou City, and in full view of everyone, the convoy entered the Consulate General of the Tang Overseas Province in Yingzhou City.
"That's a lot of money!" The first exclamation of jumping out of the carriage was addressed to the building of the Consulate General, and what caught my eye was a huge garden, the central pool surrounded by gorgeous flowers that I could not name.
Surrounding the garden are tall stone houses, all three-storey, with gold-dusted facades that glow in the sunlight. Beyond the golden layer, I could barely see dozens of soldiers armed with bows and arrows standing on the flat roof.
Where is this consulate, it is simply showing off the symbol of the wealth of Datang's overseas provinces! Moreover, no matter how you look at it, it can be used as a small fortress, and Yingzhou City can allow the appearance of this kind of building house, I really can't comment on it.
"Lord Fapu, it's you, it's been a hard journey!" Enthusiastically greeted from the house was that Tang Zhangwei, compared with what I had seen before, the equipment on his body became heavier and heavier, the gold necklace with the thickness of his thumb, the huge emerald on the turban, and the colorful diamond rings on his ten fingers, in addition to being full of vulgar nouveau riche atmosphere, it also gave me the illusion that all the funds provided to him in the past few years had been transferred to him.
Sensing my gaze, Tang Zhangwei immediately changed to another face: "Big ...... My lord, this set of outfits is all for a better job, and I, Tang Zhangwei, really don't want to swallow it at all......"
"Okay, I'll care what you're wearing, we're tired from afar, and we're not going to arrange a room."
"Ahh Rubbing his hands, Tang Zhangwei hurriedly led the way in front.
Finding this guy as a lobbyist now seems to be at least a little beneficial, and he can pull a large number of Yingzhou City officials down the sea of decay. It's hard to find someone on this continent who is so good at reading words and feelings. Smiling and shaking my head, I waved my hand, and the servants lifted the curtain of the carriage one by one, allowing important people to step onto the gold-minted consulate.
Most of the consulate's lodgings are on the second floor, and the ornate corridors are filled with art from all eras, from paintings to sculptures.
Although I am a rough person, I can't tell which one is more valuable, but from the glowing eyes of Bai Cunxiao on the side, I also know that these things are of extraordinary value.
"God, I thought that the Russell diagram of Vanigan, which was destroyed by the war, turned out to be here! Look at this pattern, and the small note at the bottom foot, it is definitely genuine! Wow - and this, the golden statue of Yarajmuk! Ahh......h
I really don't understand this Bai Cunxiao, his fat body really contains endless knowledge, and it's a shame that he can remember so many things.
If it comes to knowledge, even if I inherit the memory of the Holy Dragon, on such a small item, I will sigh greatly. The meeting with this guy in the first place really carved some traces of fate, but it is better not, after all, the verbose crow is not something that everyone can bear.
Also, under the mantle of a merchant, I always felt that there was something else to him, whether it was in the Djegunvor or in the Lost Forest, and the appearance of him was really strange one after another.
"Whatever—" The thought suddenly came to my heart, anyway, he wanted to harm me, and he would have done it a long time ago, and he didn't have to follow him all the time. Anyway, on the chessboard of the mainland, there is no way to find the chess piece he represents, at least not yet.
In Bai Cunxiao's shouting, Tang Zhangwei on the side wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a pair of eyes swept towards me from time to time, observing my face. Naturally, I noticed his expression, smiled at him gently, and didn't say anything.
Obviously showing an expression of taking a breath, Tang Zhangwei hurriedly rushed to those artworks: "Don't move this!" This is Xia Jie's relic, worth a hundred gold coins......"
It was in the midst of the noise between these two men that I came to my room.
The moment "this ......" pushed the door open, my mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Adults are not satisfied? This is the best room, and it has been used to entertain the prime minister of Yingzhou City. ”
"No, it's too luxurious."
In the middle is an oversized bed, covered with silk sheets peculiar to the Oriental Continent, and the four pillars are all covered with a layer of gold, and even the lid on the top of the bed is coated with gold. And from under my feet, all the way out, there were all floor tiles made of gold, and the whole room was glittering with gold.
"The Golden House—" Rhettus's eyes widened, squeezing his head out from behind me.
Tang Zhangwei's face couldn't hide the smug expression: "This room cost a total of 100 catties of gold, which was converted into 10,000 gold coins, and how many dignitaries and nobles wanted to lie here for a night." In the past, when this was not a consular hall, it was already full of people. ”
"You're very good at spending money!" I sighed, no wonder it has only been more than a year, and the capital consumption in Yingzhou City has exceeded 100,000, if it is not for the great achievements, according to Ba Di's consciousness, this "bottomless consumption hole" should have been stuck long ago.
"Big ...... My lord, this is also the most money-saving way, and a large part of it is also the money I earn here. ”
Sweat is pouring down like rain, and I also know that Tang Zhangwei relied on the funds provided by Datang Overseas Province to buy the officials here, and by the way, he also did some business.
"Don't be nervous, what I need is the ability to spend money, if you are given a million, how many officials can you buy."
"One...... Hundred...... Wan ......" opened his mouth wide, Tang Zhangwei showed a somewhat dull expression, and after a long while, he replied: "I can drag the bureaucrats of the entire Yingzhou City into the water." ”
"Very well, I'll give you a million."
"Goodong" Tang Zhangwei lay in front of me and hugged my thigh: "Big ...... Adult, you are my reborn parents, Tang Zhangwei will be a loyal dog for adults all his life! ”
"Got it, but before that, give me another room, I can't stand the smell of too much decay here."
"Ahh......h Got it. ”
The chess game with Yingzhou City starts here, one million gold coins...... Just think of the cost of buying the necessary chess pieces, and sooner or later you will have to come back from somewhere else. A smile slipped from the corner of my mouth, and I followed Tang Zhangwei and strode towards the room where I lived......
In many cases, the role of money is greater than force, at least what I saw and heard in Yingzhou City made me realize this, and in the next three days, Tang Zhangwei went around to visit the elders of the Great Yuan Pavilion in the Holy City, and the gold coins were pulled out like flowing water, and when the curtains were opened, I could see that the gardens were full of illustrious figures.
"Under the glory of money, Datang's overseas provinces have nothing to do with thieves." Laughing and pulling down the curtains, I turned away.
There were a few people standing in front of me, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, just looking at the gold chains hanging on their bodies, they knew that these were businessmen, and most of the heads of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce in Yingzhou City were standing here. And at their feet, piled with thirteen mahogany chests.
"According to your meaning, we have exchanged 100,000 gold coins for gold, a total of 10 boxes, and another 100,000 into jewelry, in three boxes, all here."
"Good work." I nodded.
"But I really don't understand, why exchange gold coins for something that is not in circulation? Wouldn't it be better to use ready-made gold coins? One of them was puzzled.
After I glanced at him, I stepped forward and patted the box that had been piled up, and said with a smile: "I've seen a lot of gold coins, looking at its other states will always have a different sense of impact, these things can make many people crazy." ”
The merchants looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"By the way, the Lafas family has made a big deal this time." Ignoring the merchant's confusion, something suddenly occurred to me.
"Yes, including ceramics and silk, the total value is about 400,000, which is the largest transaction in the past ten years, and almost all of Lafais's fleet is used." As soon as he talked about business, the face of the Datang businessman couldn't help but be smeared with a layer of oil, and his tone was full of pride.
The Lafis fleet is known as the largest fleet in the Tang Dynasty, with nearly 100 ships, which can transport tens of thousands of tons of goods at most.
"Well, then you can sell all the goods in a few days at the earliest?"
"Well, it will take at least ten days, after all, this transaction is too huge, there are no such big buyers, and it is only digested by retail investors......
"In other words, it's not for sale yet."
"Yes, but the nobles of Yingzhou City have a special preference for this kind of thing, and it is only a matter of time before they are all sold. Now, I'm just looking forward to a better price. ”
"If these things are sold in Djegunvor, can they be sold higher?"
"The Djegunvors have never liked to use gold coins, they are all closed countrymen, and their eyes are glazed when they see the ceramics and silk of the East, so we can make a great deal of money by replacing these things with dragon horns that are useless to them. And once the dragon horn is resold to the Eastern Continent, it will be a huge profit, but unfortunately, the recent state of war has blocked this trade route. ”
I finally understood the merchant's methods, but it was similar to what I had guessed, and the golden road blurted out at that time now seemed to be indeed paved with gold. It's no wonder that businessmen are willing to pay a lot of money to buy this road, I can't turn my back on the wide-open eyes in Datang.
"This is the money to buy the road." Stepping on the box with my foot, I said to myself, and suddenly a brilliant idea came to my mind, "I still need to bother you with a few things, first, please tell the Lafas family, I only want that goods, and they will be transferred to me at the price of 600,000 yuan; Second, I guess you still have about 40,000 gold coins left here, all of which will be given to the Lafais family, so that they can stay in Yingzhou City for a few months, but do not accept any goods; Third...... That's it for now. ”
"This ......" businessmen obviously do not understand what I mean, this kind of business is completely at a loss in business, but has other political motives. However, I didn't have the patience to explain it to them, so I just whispered, "This is what I'm doing for your million, so I don't need to ask why." ”
The merchants hurriedly bowed and withdrew, and when I guessed that they were far away, I shouted out to the door:
"Tang Zhangwei, go and call Tang Zhangwei to me!" Tang Zhangwei, who was sweating profusely, rushed into my room within a quarter of an hour of my shout, gasping for breath and saying, "My lord, what are you looking for me to do so urgently." ”
"Organize a big banquet for me immediately, I want to invite the most prominent people in the holy city of Yingzhou City, and also, hire enough people for me, and spread a message to all parts of Yingzhou City, just say, if there are people who are willing to make a fortune, they will come and invest...... You say, what's your name that makes people want to pay for it when they see it? ”
"Ah, about what?"
"It's the kind that transports things to Djegunvol, then changes them to dragon's horns, and then transports them to the East, and finally returns the money to them."
"My lord, such a risky thing is something that only a businessman would do."
"You don't have to worry about this, just think of a loud enough name."
"This? Why don't you call it a trip to make a fortune together with the Randinovia and Taranvino Chamber of Commerce? ”
"It's too long......"
"That's called money begets money......"
"No......"
“…… What is the best thing, is this money used for investment, or is it the foundation...... The foundation of the funds can then make a fortune...... No matter how I think about it, it makes no sense than what I used to lie......"
"Base Funding...... Funds, Investment Funds...... Okay, just use this. Tang Zhangwei, anyway, bragging and talking big has always been your specialty, how outrageous how to say it, what I need is the public opinion of the entire Yingzhou City. Let the cloisters be opened, and the will of the people to reach a reconciliation with us in Landinovia. ”
"My lord, you are really ......" Tang Zhangwei swallowed the following words and hurriedly retreated.
I walked to the windowsill and pushed the window open, letting the spring breeze outside blow on my face, it seemed that one million was the price that could buy the entire city of Yingzhou.
I rearranged what I was thinking about in my mind, and used a large amount of returns as bait to let those big nobles take the lead in buying all the value-added in the future. Then it is up to them to persuade the royal family to open the cloister, as long as there is one time, as long as they taste the sweetness, the hostility between Yingzhou City and us will be reduced to a tolerable level, and when the time comes......
"I'm such a wicked person." Unable to resist cursing to myself, I smiled at the sun.
The grand banquet arranged by Tang Zhangwei was four days later and cost about a thousand gold coins. In order to save money, the envoys and servants took off their uniforms and put on the clothes of waiters, and even the Quartet and Falcheni changed into the clothes of maids to welcome them.
Dozens of tables have been set up in the Consulate General, and the lights around the central garden illuminate the entire central garden as if it were daytime. There are busy figures everywhere, making the final decorations in Tang Zhangwei's shouting.
"A luxurious feast, this meal can make the people in the village eat for several days." Touching my chin, I let out such an exclamation as I stood and watched. Anyway, coming out of a Semitic village, I still don't like this kind of waste, even though it is money that must be spent.
"Master, it's time to go and change your clothes." Bai Cunxiao, who was standing behind me, suddenly reminded me and pulled me out of my thoughts.
After turning around and smiling at Bai Cunxiao, I shouted at the field: "Tang Zhangwei, come here." ”
"What's the matter, sir." Hurriedly trotting over, Tang Zhangwei asked after wiping his sweat.
"Who the hell is coming today?"
"The prime minister, the prime minister, and several cabinet members of Yingzhou City have already replied, and most of the others are nobles with titles, so it can be said that dignitaries have gathered."
"How come there are no people from the military?" Puzzled, I asked.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Tang Zhangwei's face, and he replied in an indignant voice: "Most of the military are hardliners, and they wish they could exterminate us, where will they come." ”
"That's it." Touching my chin, I don't think about it anymore, anyway, there is an opportunity to drag the military into the water, and now I don't have to waste my brain about this, "By the way, you arrange it, separate a few important characters, some things can't be discussed in a messy environment." ”
"This ...... I'll do it right away,......" After showing surprise, Tang Zhangwei nodded knowingly.
"I'm tired."
"Master......" Bai Cunxiao on the side urged again.
