Chapter 995: What does Yang Zhijun value?
From the exterior alone, the faΓ§ade of the imperial capital is no different from before.
It is still the ancient city wall full of historical vicissitudes, with knife marks and dark red marks distributed on it, and even the two dangerous statues at the entrance have not changed in the slightest, in fact, except for some houses or slums damaged in the war, most of the buildings have been preserved.
Since the founding of the empire, this imperial capital has a history of nearly 1,000 years.
"Miss Mavis, I wonder if you're lucky enough to be able to visit the Gurley Chamber of Commerce?" Shen Fu said politely.
Compared to the changes in the imperial capital, he is now more interested in this so-called Gli Chamber of Commerce, and maybe he can have some unexpected gains before going to meet with the person in charge.
"Of course it's fine, General Shen." Miss Mavis beamed.
She even thought that it was her beauty, wealth and temperament that fascinated this General Shen.
This misunderstanding continued until Emilia got out of the carriage at the door of the Chamber of Commerce.
Beauty, temperament, even the most narcissistic women can't help but be impressed by Emilia, the only thing Mavis can find some self-esteem is wealth, and this self-esteem makes her even more arrogant, even if it is the husband of such a beautiful woman, it is not necessary to be subdued by her wealth.
A group of beautiful girls with different styles gathered on the street will naturally attract onlookers, not to mention the appearance of several girls who can be called stunning.
Here, however, the most striking thing is Estes.
"That's ...... General Estes. β
"It's really General Estes."
"General Estes is back!"
The vast majority of the people looked excited, and even couldn't help but gather together.
I have to say that in the past, Estes, among the weaklings she thought of, had a popularity that she didn't even expect, and she was only a general but did not oppress the people, and she has always guarded the frontier for the country, which was enough to make her status among the people stand out from the group of nobles who were like beasts.
Mavis gritted her teeth secretly, as the daughter of a small businessman and the object of oppression by the aristocracy, Estes was naturally once her idol.
However, that was all in the past, and now she had made an astonishing fortune through her own efforts, and Estes, not even a general, was no longer a general, but just a subordinate of a minor general.
This disdain and jealousy were naturally carefully hidden by her, she knew very well that now that General Yang left, she was not qualified to offend a general in Huaxia, but after she used her wealth to hook this General Shen, hehe.
Estes just waved her hand very simply, and the people gathered fell silent, but they still looked at her with excited expressions.
"I'm not a general now, and I'm coming back this time on official business, so you guys retreat on your own." After Estes said these words, he took a step back to Shen Fu and said no more.
Shen Fu didn't say anything, just looked in front of him, this is a splendid palace-like building, built in a rockery in the imperial capital, the white marble steps alone are dozens of meters high, Shen Fu seems to have a little impression of this place...... Yes, in the past, this was the largest treasury in the imperial capital, and only nobles had the opportunity to enjoy it, and in the original book, Ma Yin seemed to have sniped and assassinated a nobleman here.
Unexpectedly, now this place has actually become the base camp of this so-called Gurley Chamber of Commerce.
Shen Fu's heart is getting heavier and heavier.
Mavis had been secretly paying attention to Shen Fu, and after seeing him staring here, he only felt that he was shocked by the prosperity scene, it seems that the general from Huaxia is only like this in terms of knowledge.
"Let's go, General Shen, I'll introduce you." Yingying stretched out her hand and took the lead on the steps.
Shen Fu followed behind her, also looking around here, did not find the monitoring equipment personnel, nor did he see the troops of Huaxia to maintain order, there was only a gorgeously dressed businessman who was also walking on the steps, and the ordinary people on the street just now all stayed under the steps and looked up, although no one guarded, but none of them dared to follow.
"Beatrice, how are these people's mental fluctuations?" Shen Fu asked Beatrice in his mind.
"That's good." Beatrice replied, "Positive, confident in the future and confident in yourself, whether it's these businessmen or the ordinary people on the street, but well, it's a matter of course, and life is a lot better now than it used to be." β
Shen Fu was dumbfounded.
Also, Shen Fu still believes that it is impossible for these people to have the courage not to obey the order of Huaxia, for ordinary people who have been cruelly treated by the aristocracy, how can they not be full of confidence in the future if they can have food, shelter, and security guarantees now.
However, this is not a reason for the class concept to be re-formed and rapidly expanded in such a short period of time.
On the way from the bottom of the stairs to the hall, the people she met would greet Mavis politely, and most of the time she just walked by proudly, and those people did not feel disrespected, Shen Fu felt that their respect for Mavis was taken for granted, as if the employees of the company met the president of the company in the main world.
But, that's the problem.
Shen Fu had heard it very clearly before, this Gli Chamber of Commerce should be an auxiliary chamber of commerce alliance, not a private property of a certain family.
"Miss Mavis looks respectable." Shen Fu seemed to say casually.
"Of course." "If it weren't for me, they would have been just ordinary small businessmen in the past, how could they be where they are today." β
"Oh?" Shen Fu showed a hint of amazement just right, "I didn't expect Miss Mavis to make such a great contribution to the development of the Chamber of Commerce, no wonder I was able to become friends with Miss Yang." β
Mavis became even more proud, and the compliments from General Huaxia obviously carried more weight than the compliments of these ordinary businessmen.
"Miss Yang and I have a relationship of, well, like sisters." Mavis couldn't help but play with the idiom she learned, "Even if you have returned to China with Commander Yang, you will often write to me, and you have said that you will take me to China and become a real Chinese noble, even Commander Yang values me a lot." β
Shen Fu's expression suddenly felt a little strange.
There are no nobles in Huaxia, she must be bragging a little bit in this sentence, but I don't know, how much does it really belong, Yang Zhijun really values her very much?
