Chapter 137: Sauron's Visit
On the outskirts of Shenghui City, as far as the eye can see, the golden eyes are as endless as the sea, the gusts of wind blow, like the undulating waves, the large ears of wheat swaying with the wind, in it, whether you want to or not, the fragrance of the soil and grain looks at your nose one by one, which makes people have an indescribable sense of satisfaction and satisfaction. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since ancient times, food is the sky, and no matter who sees such a good harvest, they will smile, not to mention that autumn is the harvest season.
It's a pity that there are very few people who can have the heart and willingness to appreciate such a moving scene. The tenant farmers who faced the loess with their backs to the sky had long been tired of seeing this kind of sight, and they did not have the leisure to look for any beauty in this harvest, and in their eyes the same golden gold coins were much more lovely. And how could the nobles who have such idleness and leisure come to such a vulgar place, they will never let their feet get a little mud.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the surprise and trepidation on the faces of the farmers who are sweating in the fields and working hard when they see the luxurious horse-drawn carriages running through the fields.
Al sat in the carriage, the roller shutter inside the carriage had long been hooked, allowing the people in the carriage to have an unobstructed view of the scene outside the carriage, Al was sitting in the carriage at this time, as if thinking about something silent.
The old butler sitting opposite him seemed to know what was on his mind, and explained: "Shenghui City was built on the Sunset Plain back then, in addition to the abundant Yuan stones hidden underground, the most important point is that there is a lot of arable land, otherwise such a large city, if it depends on foreign food transportation, it will be too dangerous. It's just that the ancestors who built the city at that time must not have imagined that so many fields ended up in the hands of a few people, and this Shenghui City should have a famine of famine, and it has nothing to do with the amount of land when people starve to death. ”
Al nodded, he had all this information in advance, and he motioned for the old butler to continue.
"But it is said that things must be opposed, the land here is so fertile, but there is a place where there is no grass, as if the fertility is distributed to other fields, and it seems to be cursed by the gods of heaven, so this place is also called the cursed land, this place does not grow anything, there is no output at all, if you want to send someone to manage it, you have to put money into it, so it is a rare ownerless land in this Shenghui City, according to your previous instructions, I searched all over, and I can only find this land. ”
Al shook his head, signaling that he didn't care, he said, "The key is how is this land, is it big enough? It's called the Land of the Damned, it's not a good name, will there be any harm in this land? If there is a problem, it will be troublesome." ”
The old housekeeper replied respectfully: "There is no problem, I have found someone to see it, and I have tried it with a silver needle, but there is nothing special." Seeing that Al was still a little uneasy, he hurriedly added: "The key is that there are also people living in the wheat fields around this land, and there is no problem living in it for hundreds of years. ”
Al nodded, he was still a little worried, but there was no way, the tallest of the short ones could only choose this field. Those nobles are all old landlords, and they regard the land as more important than their lives, and when they heard that he was going to buy land, they shook their heads like rattles, but the old butler had already rushed back from the west, saying that the guards escorting those demonic beasts were almost to Shenghui City, and he had been busy with electric lights before, so he couldn't help but be a little in a hurry.
Al leaned back against the cushion and closed his eyes tiredly, the orders for electric lights had skyrocketed in the past few days, and he had been drawing the circle day and night, and the Sheldon circle had been used so well that he could almost draw it with his eyes closed, and the price was that he worked overtime all night, like a worker who was forced by a black-hearted boss, and he hadn't slept well for several days.
The old butler, seeing that Al seemed to be asleep, lightly covered Al with a soft quilt, and then got out of the carriage and told Freeman, who was driving, to slow down so that the carriage would not be so bumpy.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Young Master El lost a lot of weight and became much haggard.
......
By the time Al returned to his old mansion in Hawley, it was already dark, so when he heard that there were still people waiting in the living room, he was surprised, and thought to himself, who could it be so late?
However, he was even more surprised to see that it was Mr. Sauron Walkerworth, the president of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce, who had not seen each other since the princess's ball.
"Good day, Lord Marquis, it's been a long time. Sauron bowed, dressed in his white gown, as if it were about to shine in the light of the electric lamp.
"Good day, Mr. Zoro, what is the wind that has brought you today? As he spoke, Al stretched out his hand to ask Zoro to sit down.
"If it's okay, can't I come to your side to ask for a cup of tea?" Zoro quipped, and after a few words of greeting, he said solemnly, "I won't go around in circles with you anymore, to be honest, I'm here today to talk to you about business." ”
"It's big business!", he continued.
Al took a sip of black tea indifferently, "The specific affairs of the Westborder Trading House are in charge of Mr. Sasha, I usually don't interfere, you can go to Mr. Sasha to negotiate business." ”
"Nope. Zoro shook his head, "This business is up to you. ”
"Oh?" he said, but Al was interested, "I'd like to hear about it." ”
Zoro put his hands together on the table and put on a posture to discuss business, "As far as I know, you sent someone to give a violet-shaped electric lamp to Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, which Her Royal Highness said a few days ago, she likes that lamp very much, and she is very grateful to you. ”
Al was a little surprised, he didn't expect him to know about this, plus Princess Sophia's previous ball also invited this businessman to participate, the relationship between the two does not seem to be simple, is it really just a simple economic exchange? Al is a little unconvinced, but he has a little more jealousy of this Mr. Sauron Walkworth, this person's background may be much deeper than imagined, with him can take the princess line, no one dares to underestimate it.
"It's good that Her Royal Highness likes it, but what does this have to do with the business you are talking about?"
"You said before that this electric lamp is a magical creation, and to tell you the truth, Her Royal Highness the princess has two mages to worship and follow, and when they heard about it, they couldn't help but be curious, and asked for the electric lamp to be studied. ", he said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
