Chapter 96: Textile Mills
The afternoon sun was spicy and dazzling, and Shenhyuk hadn't felt the heat of the sun for a long time. Under Haimo's plan, Wolf Tooth and Tiger Rong accompanied Shenhe, walked along the textile mill, and it didn't take long for them to come to the Eno Palace.
The palace was built on the banks of the Znau River, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters, surrounded by a fence and occasionally patrolled by guards.
Crossing the fence, the doorman announced, and after a while, a few slaves ran out, and Ino followed, with a big belly, accompanied by laughter, the fat of the whole body began to skewer up and down: "Rare guest, rare guest, my beautiful big niece, why are you here?"
Although Ino and Yiqi are brothers, it is difficult to connect any blood relationship between them just from their appearance, compared to Yiqi's tall and mighty, unsmiling, Ino is very frustrated, short and fat.
Eno Belbed, a member of the Bell royal family, ranked as an earl, is the half-brother of the city lord Yiqi, is deeply respected by Yiqi, and currently serves as the western city lord of Moca Bener City, with great power, it can be said that anyone inside or outside the city must enter or leave the city with his permission.
In Shenhyuk's eyes, Eno Belbed, the uncle with the same surname, is just a greedy and lustful, mercenary villain, in fact, the civilians in the city also think so, if the civilians in the city want to go out of the city, or want to enter the city, then they must prepare money and things in advance, otherwise, no matter what, they can't step through the city gate, no matter who wants to go out of the city, they have to pay the money first, there is a good saying, 'I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road money' is a very apt description of Ino's banditry.
Mokaben City is a place of extreme openness to democracy, freedom of speech, for Ino's behavior, civilians sneered, once scolded Ino's became a local buzzword, but Ino didn't think so, you scolded you, I mine, after a long time, civilians got used to it, but his character in people's hearts can be described as plummeting.
This matter is Mokaben City, there is only one person who does not know, that is Yiqi, to be exact, Yiqi is a blind eye to Eno's practices, and it is rumored that the gold, silver and jewelry piled up in Eno's house are about to catch up with the city's taxes for several years.
Compared with Yinuo to collect some money, Yiqi attaches great importance to the people who come in and out of the city every day, for fear that the city will be mixed with moles, and at the end of every month, Yiqi will send Batus to check the list of people who enter and leave the city.
As soon as he entered the garden, Shenhe looked around: "Uncle, this garden of yours is too beautiful." ”
Ino laughed, "Haha, this garden has cost me all my savings, let's get inside! ”
Ino is exaggerating, but this garden is worth a lot of money at first glance.
Shenhyuk came to the flower bed and sat down: "This flower is very beautiful, I'll sit here for a while." ”
The sun was scorching, and Ino was sweating profusely: "Ah, okay, uncle will sit here with you for a while! How has your father been lately, I haven't seen him for more than three months, and I remember the last time I saw him was when I was going to my father's grave, and we went together." ”
Shenhe pouted: "He, that's it, it's still so stubborn, right, uncle, didn't my mother leave me a manor, I want to build it well." ”
Eno: "Then build it, don't you still have a few children at home!". ”
Shenhe Ze: "Well, the small house at home is too crowded, but it will be winter in two months, so I can't finish building it in such a short time!"
Eno wiped the sweat from his forehead, the sweat had soaked his clothes: "Big niece, you didn't come here just for this matter!"
Shenhyuk nodded: "Yes, you forgot, today is my birthday, August 8th." ”
Ino patted his head: "Look at my memory, I forgot such a big thing, then the uncle will make it up to you, I will send someone to you tomorrow, and I will guarantee that the manor can be built within a month." ”
Shenhe was puzzled: "Is it so fast?"
Eno patted his chest: "That's natural, not to mention anything else, as far as the workers under my command are all the workers left behind when the city was built, and some of the Dongming Church you planned to build last time are my people!"
Shenhyuk: "Well, then I have an impression, but I have one more thing, uncle. ”
Ino: "Big niece, what else do you have to do?"
Shenhyuk: "That uncle, you know, last year, my relationship with my father was stiff, and now it's not good, I don't have any money, and there are so many children at home to support, I can't use the money to buy materials for building a house this time, so can you lend me some money." ”
When Ino heard this, he immediately laughed again, if it were someone else, he would definitely not borrow a penny, and a dime was enough to describe the degree of Ino's slamming of the door, but Shenhe asked him, and it was too late to be happy: "Big niece, what are you talking about, we are all a family, what to borrow or not, uncle's money will be used as a dowry for you in the future, I will send someone to send you the money over in a while." ”
Shenhyuk: "Hehe, thank you to my good uncle." ”
Ino said again: "I'll tell my uncle if I don't have any money in the future, and I know the stubborn temper of my eldest brother, your character is all with him, he said you last year, just because he was too much like him, he gave the city lord to Carl, and the death of Jeramicius hit him hard, oh my God, I'll go to talk to him, what is the deep hatred between father and daughter." ”
Shenhe nodded: "By the way, uncle, since you have lent me money, it is best to give me gold coins, it is more convenient for me to use them." ”
Ino: "Okay. ”
Shenhe: "Then I'll go first, uncle." ”
Ino kept sending Shenhyuk to the gate of the manor, and only turned around and went back to the house when he saw Shenhyuk leave.
As soon as Shenhe and a few people walked out, not far away, Hu Rong couldn't help but raise the question in his heart: "Princess, the sea ...... Sea foam, no, let...... You, let you ...... Today...... Aren't you here to check the list? Don't you ask, I'm ...... Why can't you read it?"
Shenhyuk laughed: "He's my uncle, I asked him if he could ask for the list directly, and besides, I want to build a house." ”
Wolf Fang explained on the side: "Hu Rong, in fact, the princess is afraid that there is no one on the list at all, so she did this. ”
Shenhe nodded: "For a while, tell Haimo about this, tomorrow I will go to the palace, you let Haimo come up with his back heels when the front foot goes in, come in and check the list, I was present at the time, he didn't dare to say anything, did you take a look first." ”
