"50,000 woolen coats!"

When Rep. Anse Claire heard the news, he stood up in surprise and walked around the room quickly. After a few circles back and forth, he happily rushed to Janet, the messenger, and asked her to invite Sir Gorcaud in.

"No, I'd better go myself!"

Daddy Stoke hurriedly coughed, and instantly woke up the "employer" Anse Claire, after all, he was a senior councillor for a second term, and rushed to meet the bigwigs of the docks, and the biggest financier and supporter, Aldrich Triss, also said that if it was only his butler, there would be no need for this.

Remembering his identity, Anse Claire calmed down his excitement, quickly returned to his seat, smoothed the folds on the shoulders of his parliamentary uniform, took a few deep breaths, and returned to his usual calmness.

After greeting him personally, the guardian knight at the door let Mr. Gorcaud, the chief butler of the scavengers' union, enter the room of the deputy, his ears and hearing were very good, and he did not bother to inquire, and he also knew that a big deal had come to the door.

With a salary from Councillor Anse Claire in his hand, and occasionally selling information anonymously on the Hawkeye black market, as long as the information is linked to the people involved, it is natural that there will be smart analysts to speculate on the truth.

It's a pity that he can't leave now that it's time on duty, otherwise the guardian knight would have taken off his armor long ago, changed into inconspicuous civilian clothes, and went to the Hawkeye Black Market, disguised as a tavern.

"Shall I call you Mr. Gorgoard, or should I call you, Lord Gorgo?"

The congressman put down the pen that was "busy" drafting the bill, stood up and shook hands vigorously with the scavengers' butler across the table, and then reached out and invited him to sit down in the corner of the room, with an upholstered chair and a coffee table filled with drinks and snacks.

"Councillor Claire, you may call me however you like, preferably Mr. Gorcaud...... The title of knight, the town hall has been sprinkled a lot in our union, and many people are terrified when they accept it, and I am no exception. ”

"How is Lord Triss doing?"

"Very busy, always busy, and not having time for Mrs. Lovette. ”

The routine greetings, as annoying as annoying, must be carried out by the rules on both sides until Anse Claire, who can't hold back, takes the initiative to cut to the chase.

"Lord Tris, is there any problem that needs to be solved lately? As his personal friend, I would like to help His Excellency Triss. ”

Gorgau put down the slightly bitter coffee and only took a polite sip, he had never been accustomed to this hot drink that was in vogue, or the tea brewed with fresh milk was more appetizing.

"Mr. Councillor, I believe you should know that Lord Triss once accepted an invitation from the Temple of the Friends of the Merchant to serve as Grand Master of the Knights of the Lucky Gold Coin for a period of time. ”

Anse Claire knew that the play was coming, and although he didn't know much, the expression on his face was as if he was also a member of the Knights.

"Well, the armored floating ship appeared for the first time, and His Excellency Tris led the Knights of the Lucky Gold Coin and kicked the southern billy hard, which is really relieving!"

Goregaard nodded vigorously, "Although they haven't been together for a long time, the friendships they have built up in daily training and on the battlefield have endured. In particular, a young nobleman from the Duchy of Maryland bought a lot of useful new gadgets from Lord Tris's factory in order to build his career. ”

"I finally know who the buyer is! This former professional gambler, don't you feel tired of talking in circles from the noble family?" There was a lot of slander in his heart, but the representative didn't say anything on his lips, just nodded slightly.

"Everyone knows that His Excellency Triss has inherited an incredible inheritance, and any inconspicuous bits and pieces can shock many people. ”

Gorcau was also anxious in his heart, but because of the "ears" that might exist nearby, he couldn't go into too much detail, "In the south in autumn, the weather will get cold overnight, and you can't do without enough warm clothes, after all, we all know how many corps are on display on the border of the Principality of Maryland." ”

"I understand, I understand. That's a lot of money, and the fact that Lord Triss can still think of me at this time is a testament to the depth of our friendship. ”

The big housekeeper of the union leaned forward slightly, "The first batch of orders is mainly to show our strength and ensure quality." This is not a one-shot deal, Mr. Claire, there are still many opportunities to make money in the future, not just focus on the immediate interests, but also take a long-term view. ”

Anse Claire rubbed her hands together: "Yes, I will ask some friends to help, I believe it will not be long before the shipment will be shipped." Please tell Your Excellency Triss that I will visit you myself another day. ”

Gorcau nodded slightly, "Even though a lot of people's eyes are on the scavengers, I'll find the right time." ”

"By the way, after Lord Triss was dismissed, he has been idle at home and is not allowed to leave, what the hell is the above thinking?"

The House of Representatives knew something, but it was difficult to say it in the room: "He is too dazzling! No one else, no matter how hard they try to build up their deeds, can compare with Lord Triss...... I'm sure you can understand. ”

Gorgau had long known that this would happen, sighed, and drank the coffee that had become warm in one gulp, the bitterness in his mouth even stronger.

No sooner had than closed the door on the messenger of Aldrich Triss, the chief steward of the scavengers' union, Anse Claire jumped on the spot with excitement.

Daddy Stoke looked really unremarkable, and quickly coughed, but the congressman smiled disapprerovingly and shook his head, reached out to the young secretary, hugged her warmly, and pecked Janet in the chin.

"Honey, I'm going to have to trouble you again. ”

After two years of training in the House of Representatives, the former vase role has long been lost in the garbage can in the corner, and the affectionate eyes look at Anse Claire, and the skin moistened by love can be delicately pinched out of the water.

"The order introduced by His Excellency Triss's friend, the regular army of the frontier of the Principality of Maryland, his career is about to take off again. ”

The congressman nodded heavily, "Contact friends in the textile industry immediately, this order must be eaten, it is related to whether or not foreign markets can be opened, except for special war times, this kind of opportunity will not be at all." ”

Daddy Stoke didn't speak the whole time, and his thinking was very similar to that of Anse Claire, who helped him out, so there was no need to interject.

However, there was no news about the order for the woolen coat, and if it were not for the belief in Aldrich Triss's character, Stoke would not have thought about the absence of a shadow.

Anse Claire dragged Anse Claire in the House of Representatives after two successive major sponsors, and he did not expect that just after the fierce battle, he was eating in the public cafeteria with his staff when he heard the shocking news that the quartermaster in charge of procurement in the Principality of Maryland had arrived in the Western Turkish Customs Union.

More news arrived one after another, and it was learned from an anonymous secret source that a brand-new floating ship had taken off from the territory of the Gushan Tris family and headed for the border of the home country of Welsek, where it was on its way back with a wagon loaded with a convoy.

At the same time, Aldrich Triss, who was staying at the headquarters of the Scavengers' Union, the chief knight of the Customs Union who was stared at by countless pairs of eyes, had left his long-running lair and left the city to go to the lonely mountain.

There are no impermeable walls!

Many of the councillors turned their heads to look at Anse Claire, envious of his good luck throughout, but some were envious of the huge returns on the orders and took the initiative to join the table.

"Your friend, Mr. Claire, Mr. Claire...... As far as I know, there is not much stock of wool materials, and I am afraid that this order will not be able to eat. For the sake of today's bill, I voted in favor, how about reserving my share?"

With great confidence, he cocked up his collar, concealed in the gold buttons of the inner lining, embossed with simple eagle talons, and grasped shackles and hammers.

"Lord Byron, greet Warden Norton on my behalf. Since he took office the year before last, Fox River Prison has quickly turned around the loss-making situation and made a profit that has increased year by year, which is really something to be proud of. ”

The man lowered his collar and leaned forward, lowering his voice slightly, but he could hear it at the next table: "Claire, we are both re-elected councilors, so we don't have to test each other." Let's talk about the polite words of the scene to the rookie newcomer!"

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to do you a favor. Everyone watched me come over, and if nothing came of it, let everyone see the joke, and we would be enemies in the future. ”

Stoker, who was sitting next to him, almost slapped the table in anger, he had tried to imagine that someone would take a share of the benefits without shame, but he didn't expect it to be so shameless, using despicable and almost blackmailing methods.

Ansai Claire stretched out his hand and pressed "Daddy", pretending to shrug his shoulders easily: "The quartermaster in charge of procurement, I haven't had a chance to meet and deal with him, and as for the order, there is not even a shadow, let me promise now...... Okay, I'm the best at writing bad checks. ”

He took out a cheque book from Cedar Bank from his bosom and took out the pen pinned to the hard page on the cover, "The first order is 50,000 tweed coats, and the Triss family can eat half of them, and my friend will eat at most 8,000, and the gap will be all for you." 17,000 pieces of standard size, please deliver within three days......"

The young and generous congressman stretched out his hand, and Headley Byron sneered and did not dare to answer, his friend was indeed in charge, and he was in charge of a prison of nearly 5,000 people, and he could not eat such a large order, and the momentum just now gradually dispersed.

Another fellow member of the House of Representatives squeezed in uncontrollably, and the secretary Janet couldn't help frowning at the strong smell of tobacco, stood up sideways, and simply gave up her seat.

"At the internal meeting of the textile industry, the people in the ash hall crowded in to find matches?"

Unable to get angry at Anse Claire, Headley Byron couldn't help but spit poisonous saliva at this man, and no one expected that Senator Sandru Walker, nicknamed "Wild Boar", would sneer at him.

"The most humorous joke of the month is that the prison dog dares to claim to be a member of the textile industry! Everyone knows that the cost of squeezing the hard-earned money of prisoners is almost non-existent, but no one wants anything from prisons to give to civilians for free, and it is stained with blood. ”

Headley Byron roared angrily, and for the sake of each other's decency, a cold chill erupted from between his clenched teeth, "The head of the smugglers is not qualified to talk about it here, get out of here." ”

Ignoring the irrational Hyena, Sandru Walker turned sideways to Anse Claire, "I know some strong friends who have a lot of wool in stock, but they are not cut or ready-to-wear. Look, can you reserve one for me?"

"I'm not an expert in this area, and it is said that the corners of the cut are lost a lot, and at most you will be given a share of three thousand pieces, of course, all from Monsieur Byron's share. ”

Seventeen thousand, three thousand less in the blink of an eye, as if cutting off the flesh on the body, before the "hyena" Headley Byron could react, another fellow member of the House of Representatives squeezed into the feast of dividing the order.

This time, he couldn't even keep Daddy Stoker's seat! No one would be polite at the moment, so he couldn't help but shake his head lightly, and simply stood up and gave up his seat.
