Chapter 501: Parliamentarians

While Duchamp and Olivier are desperately squandering their treasured high-count wines, at the Golden Iris Hotel, Mura and Lealmu are debating what to do today. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Duchamp and Olivier didn't return overnight, which was quite different from what they had imagined.

Mura persuaded the waiter to open the door and examined the next room, revealing that there was nothing important left in the room. In other words, it is very likely that the two have already lived with acquaintances.

"Who is the acquaintance that Stellary is looking for here? You don't know how to understand it. He lost his temper at Lilmu helplessly.

Learmour recalled it for a long time, but he didn't have a clue.

Just then, a gentleman politely knocked on the door with his cane and asked, "Excuse me, is this the room where Lord Stellary S. Duchamp is staying?" ”

Learmey said angrily, "We're looking for him too." ”

Mura glared at him and hurriedly invited the visitor into the room.

The person who came was Councilor Caso Ariat, from whom Mura learned of DuΕ‘an's whereabouts, and also learned that there was indeed a blonde young man beside him, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From Mura's mouth, Councillor Cassel also knew about Duchamp and the others not returning overnight, and he couldn't help but sigh, and he said to Mura with a sincere face: "I met Mr. Duchamp yesterday, but in fact, there are still many matters that have not had time to be discussed. This is my business card, and when Monsieur Duchamp returns, please be sure to pass it on to him, and tell him that I have the means to do it for him as to what he has to do at Julay. ”

"What did Stellary do when he came to Julai?" Although Mura knew nothing and was full of doubts, he took the business card with an indifferent expression and agreed.

When the councillor left, Mura and Lilmu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. Learmey exaggeratedly patted his hand on his chest and shouted, "At least knowing that the big guy is indeed with Styry, this is more or less good news." ”

With this good news, the two thought about it for a long time, decided to leave a note in Duchamp's room, greeted the waiter, and then went out to continue the search according to yesterday's plan.

But he said that Councillor Cassel did not find Duchamp in the hotel, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, after listening to Duchamp talk about the purchase of grain, he immediately realized that this was a great business opportunity, and he had already talked with several confidants, and there was a record. At this moment, he walked down the street, looking at the deserted street, and couldn't help muttering: "Could it be: I said a word too much, and was listened to by that bastard Alfonso, and then directly entertained the guests to other hotels." ”

Immediately, he laughed smugly again, in Julai, there are not too many people who can solve this problem, and this level of problem is not something that Alfonso's fishing guy can solve.

"There's nothing to do in front of you anyway, let's go to the city hall." With this in mind, he walked to the town hall.

Loud bickering was being heard in the offices of the parliamentarians. Cassel listened intently, and knew what it was, he had known a few days ago.

The Governor is introducing a new reform to unify the Qiyao Stone Mine in Julai, thereby pooling profits and updating the outdated and almost manual Qiyao Stone mining method in Zhulai. Since its introduction, the measure has met with strong resistance from parliamentarians. The Qiyao Stone Mine in Julai is owned by the municipal government and has been contracted to large and small mine owners, forming an intricate ownership relationship over the centuries. The money from the auction of the Qiyao Stone is the main income of the Julai Municipal Government at present, and all the people of Julai cannot tolerate the Governor's involvement in the mines. The parliamentarians protested on the grounds that the existing public auction system, which had been practiced in Julay for hundreds of years, was a tradition of the Julay people.

Cassel himself naturally does not want the mine to be closed and operated, and the investment in Qiyao stone jewelry is his hobby, and it is one of his main incomes at present, but he also understands the truth that his arms can't twist his thighs, and seeing that this business is not continuous, concentrating on finding new ways to make money is the real way out.

Passing by the gate of the council hall, which was more lively than the vegetable market, Cassel glanced inside the door and saw Councillor Sim pointing at Councillor Fercy's nose and scolding: "Bastard, when we voted last year, it was you traitors who instigated everyone, saying that after the annexation to the empire, Julai's economy will soon prosper, and everyone's life will be better, but as a result, now they can't even eat." ”

Councilor Fercy also replied with a grim face, and his voice was about to tear off the roof: "Who was engaged in speculation last year, went to the bank to take out a loan to buy a large piece of land on the outskirts of the city, thinking that after the annexation of the empire, the price of the land would increase, and then make a big profit from it, but after the miscalculation, he bit people everywhere like a mad dog!" ”

Cassel shrugged, knowing that such an argument would not come to fruition for a while, so he bypassed the men and continued on his way.

One of the crowd turned around and saw Cassel's figure, and hurriedly trotted after him, and as he walked forward, he asked him in a low voice, "How is that?" What does the other party mean? ”

Cassel hurriedly motioned to someone else next to him, and muttered vaguely, "You're in too much of a hurry, Gracia." The two walked to the innermost office in the councillor's office area, and Cassel reached out and knocked on the door, and when a powerful 'please come in' came from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hello Speaker!" The two men said in unison.

"Haha, you're too polite, just call me by my name, Filitz, close the door quickly." That being said, Filitz Delgado had a look of satisfaction.

The three of them were already old acquaintances, and they were not restrained by each other, and sat down on the sofa.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" The Speaker asked.

"Christo is outside, under siege by Sim and the others!"

"He, he deserves it, who let him and the governor get so close." Speaker Delgado was merciless in counting the defected former confidant. "After all, Julai is Julai of Julai, and it is not possible to completely follow the ideas of outsiders."

The speaker took a small silver spoon, added cocoa powder to the cup, smiled and asked the two, "Do you want to put nutmeg?" ”

"Two pieces, thank you!"

When the smell of hot cocoa wafted into the room, the three of them unhurriedly turned to business.

"I'm sorry that I went to the hotel just now and didn't meet any guests." Congressman Cassel bowed slightly to the Speaker and apologized.

"There's no hurry." Delgado slowly slapped his hot drink with a silver spoon and said in the same slow tone. "We don't have to be in such a hurry, it's the people of Gatapunya who are going to starve in the winter if they don't get food for two months. So,"

At this point, Delgado took a slow sip, put down the cup, carefully wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and continued the conversation. "Our guests will not run away for no reason, the most important thing is how to get the 19th Division."

Gracia glanced out of his eyes and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's call that guy in to discuss this matter, Christo is more familiar than us in the Nineteenth Division." ”

Delgado wiped the drink from his beard with a handkerchief and said contemptuously. "Now I don't know if that guy is his own person anymore, he is about to become a dog of the Governor, and this matter has to be hidden from the Governor. Let's go and call Benito, his brother is in the 19th Division, and it seems that he is on duty at Eagle Pass. ”
