Chapter 77: Making a Choice
"Ten thousand pieces a day?" Prado gasped.
He runs a clothing store himself, and of course knows far more about this than ordinary people.
As far as he knew, there were now twenty-three tailor shops in the city of La Rue, and the three hundred tailors of these twenty-three tailors were gathered together, and they were allowed to sew clothes day and night, and I am afraid that they could only produce no more than five hundred clothes a day.
It's incredible that this Armani Chamber of Commerce can produce tens of thousands of pieces a day, and each piece can be so finely worked.
"This Armani Chamber of Commerce...... Did you master any magic?" Prado couldn't help but ask.
"Ha, they do have some magic, but these magic are from the magic textile machinery sold to them by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so in fact, it is mainly the credit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”
"It's the New Flying Chamber of Commerce again?" Prado frowned slightly.
He had heard the name of this chamber of commerce from Khafre hundreds of times, and every time he talked about things in the kingdom of Lampari, he would always hear Khafre mention it, as if everything in the kingdom of Lampari was related to this chamber of commerce.
"Of course, the new flying chamber of commerce is ......"
Khafre had just spoken, but he paused.
Because he suddenly found that if he wanted to explain the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to Prado, it was definitely not something that could be done in a while.
"Well...... Explain to you that you don't understand the magical machines you've never seen now, so let's ......" Hafre looked left and right, walked over to the counter in the shop, and picked up an iron cup for drinking water from it. Reached out and knocked on it. There is a bouncing crunching sound. "Big brother. How much did you buy this cup? Isn't it almost embroidered? ”
Prado glanced at him a little inexplicably, then looked at the water cup in his hand, and smiled embarrassedly: "I've been buying this cup for five or six years." I've been reluctant to throw it away, the paint on it has dried up, and I'm wondering when I'm going to make up for it and continue to use it. ”
"Still touch-up?" Khafra sneered. "Big brother, I didn't say you, now you are still using this kind of cup that will rust, but it is too backward. The water glasses used by the people of our Lampari Kingdom are either glasses. Either porcelain. Even if it is an iron cup, it should be at least a cup made of stainless steel, so you don't have to worry about rust at all. Or simply use an alloy cup or a plastic water cup, which does not need to worry about rusting and repairing paint. ”
"Wait, what did you just say?" Prado was confused. "I still understand glass cups and porcelain cups, but what stainless steel cups, alloy cups and plastic cups are talking about later, what are they?"
"Hey, big brother, if I sue you, these things you don't understand are all made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. What would you think?"
"Huh?" Prado's eyes widened. "Wouldn't it? How could this new flying guild come up with so many new things?"
"It's a fact. Khafre said. "It's no exaggeration to say that the entire kingdom of Lampari has changed dramatically over the years. In fact, they were all brought by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, an ordinary person in the Lampari Kingdom like me is grateful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in his heart. If it weren't for them, let's not say that we are living so comfortably now, I'm afraid that we would still not be able to eat enough as before, let alone eat meat every day. ”
Seeing that there was no half-joke in Khafre's expression, Prado couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If this new flying chamber of commerce is really as good as you say, it is really amazing." ”
Khafra turned his head to look outside the shop, stretched out his arm to stop Prado's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, big brother, the matter about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not something that can be finished in a while." Seeing that it's almost noon, why don't we clean up and go to lunch first, and we can talk while eating at the table?" said Khafre.
Prado looked at the sky outside the shop, and found that it was indeed noon, so he nodded: "Okay, go and call Nasus together." ”
The two of them walked towards the outside of the shop together, and before they could go out of the door, they were suddenly greeted by several heavily armed soldiers.
Both of them were stunned, Prado glanced at them, and found that these soldiers were all wearing the uniforms of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, so he asked with some confusion: "A few adults, is there anything to do here?"
The gaze of a squad leader-like soldier in the lead swept over the two of them, and finally landed on Prado.
"That's Prado, the owner of this shop?"
Prado was even more strange: "It's me." Adults, you ...... Looking for me?"
"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's the lord of the city who is looking for you. Come with us, Lord Castle wants to see you. ”
"Lord of the City?" Prado exclaimed in surprise, turning his head to look at Khafre, their expressions full of inexplicability.
How could the lord of the city, who was high above, suddenly find the head of a small ordinary merchant like Prado?
###
In the Lord's Mansion of LaRue, the Duchess of Windsor and the Earl of Nasappus sat across from each other.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit silent.
The Duchess of Windsor sipped warm tea, her face was unshocked, but the Earl of Nasappus lowered his head slightly, looking a little hesitant and even a little struggling.
After a moment, the Earl of Nasapps glanced up at the Duchess of Windsor, narrowed his eyes, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
The Duchess of Windsor came in person, and sure enough, she didn't just come for fun.
But the Earl of Nasappus never imagined that she would throw herself such a big problem this time, and he could hardly cope with it.
The Duchess of Windsor had not had a long conversation with him just now, but she expressed her ...... very clearly in a more subtle way Or should it be said that the Duke of Windsor she represents.
The Duke of Windsor was very opposed to the signing of a trade agreement between the Empire and the Kingdom of Lampari, and had previously expressed his opposition in public when the Imperial House voted on it.
However, the resolution was eventually approved in the House of Representatives and was implemented.
As a general rule, since the House has a final vote, everyone in the empire should abide by it.
But the Candela Empire is so big that it is obviously impossible for everyone to have the same idea.
This time, the Duke of Windsor was thinking differently.
The fact that his opposition in the House is invalid does not mean that he has no other way to object.
This time, however, the method he chose was very drastic.
The Duke of Windsor has decided to ban the passage of any goods from the Kingdom of Lampari in the Southern Province!
In other words, even if the Imperial House made a trade agreement with the Lampari Kingdom, the southern provinces would not implement it.
Of course, doing so on the face would be tantamount to working against the Imperial House, and the Duke of Windsor would not do such a stupid thing.
So he just wanted to make a notice to the city lords of the cities in the southern province first, so that these city lords could cooperate.
The city of LaRue was the second stop on the Duchess of Windsor's trip, so she just let it out.
As for how to judge, it is up to the Count of Nasapus himself.
However, this judgment was extremely difficult for the Count of Nasaskus.
If the Duke's decision is carried out, he may be charged with refusing to carry out the decision of the House.
And if you don't execute ......
The Duke of Windsor has been in the position of Governor of the Southern Province for seventeen years, and the Windsor family is even more deeply entrenched in this land, even the imperial family has some scruples about it, which shows the great power.
Comparatively speaking, the Earl of Nasapus is an ordinary earl city lord who does not have much foundation, and if he dares to disobey the decision of the Duke of Windsor, then maybe he will get out of this city lord position the next day.
"Count Nasappus, every time the Duke mentions you to me in private, he praises you very much, saying that you are one of the few sensible and far-sighted nobles of all the nobles of the Southern Province. Duke, he thinks so highly of you, don't let him down. The Duchess of Windsor suddenly burst into a faint voice.
Seeing the sharp light in the Duchess of Windsor's eyes, the Earl of Nasapps sighed in his heart, but a very sincere smile appeared on his face, and he nodded to the Duchess of Windsor and said, "Thank you Lord Duchess for your appreciation of me." Please tell the Duke that I will always support the Duke. ”
Hearing this, the Duchess of Windsor finally showed a real smile on her face, and nodded lightly: "Okay, I think the Duke will be very happy to hear your answer." ”
The Count of Nasappus continued to smile on the surface, nodding his head in agreement, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
He's actually missed a chance.
If you have to decide to carry out the Duke of Windsor's decision in the end, you should not hesitate before.
Because of these hesitations, he was bound to leave a bad impression in the heart of the Duke of Windsor, and had a certain impact on his future prospects in the southern provinces.
And since it has been decided to carry out the Duke of Windsor's decision, it means that his evaluation in the Imperial House will be affected to a certain extent.
Rather than being unflattering at the right time, it's better to make a decision from the start.
Just as he was reviewing his mistake, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the room, which was obviously deliberately aggravated.
The Earl of Nasapps looked up at the Duchess of Windsor with an inquiring expression.
"Let him in. The Duchess of Windsor nodded slowly.
The Earl of Nasappus clapped his hands.
After a while, Thorpe, the director of the City Lord's Mansion, walked in with a slight bow, saluted the two of them, and said, "Duchess, the owner of that clothing store has already brought him, do you want to see him now?"
The Duchess of Windsor stood up with a pleasant smile.
"Let's go, I'm really curious about him. (To be continued......)
