Chapter 143 No matter what kind of hell you are in, one day you can climb from hell to heaven with your hands
"As far as I know, Lord Sarcomo, there is a ...... between your granddaughter and Viscount Rennes of Ortrenburg", Sean's eyes flashed, and he asked a question that many people wanted to ask. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Your granddaughter was given to Wren by you, and Wren is a representative figure of the great nobles, and the relationship between you and Wren is so close to reason, why do you want to rebel? You must know that hugging the thighs of the big nobles in Orlando is far more beneficial and beneficial than rebelling, these golden nobles claim to have holy blood, and they have a heavenly constitution in their mouths, and even if the words they say are ridiculous, others will think very seriously. As long as Wren said a word, even a movement or a look, it could make Sarcomo rise on the ground and soar.
With such a large "capital", is Sarcomo's rebellion debatable?
It seemed that he had expected it, everyone's eyes were focused on Sarcomo, but he didn't show the slightest pressure, but asked with a smile: "I don't know if His Excellency Sean and Mr. Philip know about the 'Strategic Materials Committee'?", Sean doesn't know too well, he has been busy fighting Angelo, but Philip, the second-level steward of De Coschman, knows this bill very well, and after he and Sean briefly explained, Sean slowly nodded and said that he understood.
Sarcomo continued: "The initiator of this bill is Wren, who not only killed several big businessmen in our chamber of commerce, but also proposed such a bill to limit our power. You should know that the real money is often the most inconspicuous of all kinds of goods, such as food, weapons, and magic pedestals. ”
"Food is ordinary, I have it, you have it, almost everyone has it at home. A person may only consume twenty or thirty copper pieces of food a day, but what about ten, a hundred, a city or even a province?", Sarcomo was clever enough not to say this answer himself, he needed to let people do their own calculations, and then come up with a number that shocked them, to intensify their sense of substitution. When people slowly woke up from their surprise and looked at Sarcomo, they already agreed with what he had said.
Such a large sum of money was taken away, which was indeed enough for the Chamber of Commerce to rebel.
If it were them, they would definitely rebel too.
Sarcomo pursed his lips and continued in a calm voice: "And what about weapons? Weapons are also a huge source of income, whether it is the official army or the civilian armed forces, there is a great thirst for weapons. The sales of weapons are not as good as grain, but the profits are not lower than those of grain. And the most important thing is the magic base, the cost of a first-level magic base is only ten or twenty silver coins, but it can be sold for ten times the price, the higher the level, the higher the profit. For example, the sixth-level pedestal roars the flame bomb ......", he looked at Philip, Philip nodded, and said: "I know this, the base of the steelmaking furnace is the roaring flame bomb, the solidification magic array constantly heats up the steelmaking furnace and melts the ore, and at the same time, the vibration can make the impurities in the molten iron float to the top layer of the molten iron, and after the molten iron is formed, it is high-quality steel, and it does not need to be forged. ”
He paused before hesitating and said, "A pedestal of a roaring flame bomb, which our De Cochman Chamber of Commerce purchased from a cooperative chamber of commerce, for fifty thousand gold coins!"
Sarcomo was pleased with the disbelief on people's faces, and the hint of schadenfreude at him, and he wanted this effect, "You can think about it, Wren cut off one of my arms and cut off my wealth, so why should I submit to him because of a granddaughter?", his voice gradually grew louder, filled with a kind of unyielding and defiant, which made people feel uplifted, and a kind of strength was poured into his body," We have money and people in the Chamber of Commerce, and we don't stand up not because we are afraid of the Orlando family, but because we don't want to stir up disputes without permission. But look, they take my concessions as weakness and our modesty as stupidity, and that's fine, and I think it's time for us businessmen to stand up and speak for ourselves. ”
"As for Wren...... After taking Ortlenburg, for the sake of Celeste's face, I will not kill him, but I will put him under house arrest forever. ”
"You are a benevolent grandfather!", someone complimented Sarcomo, who immediately returned the salute, and after a moment the praise was overwhelming, as if what a commendable thing it was to put a golden nobleman under house arrest. They had even forgotten that they were just a bunch of rebels, not yet the ruling class of the Empire, and that the nobles were still on top while they were still rolling in the mud.
With the motive solved, and Sarcomo personally overwhelming the coalition forces outside the city, Sean finally let go of the last trace of doubt in his heart and became much more enthusiastic.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your help since then, otherwise the consequences are hard to imagine. After thanking Sarcomo for his help, Sean changed his words, "I always believe that any action has a strong purpose, I don't know what you want from me on this trip?"
Sarcomo's smile bloomed, "There are a lot!"
Celeste didn't know that her grandfather had taken a different path, and the little girl was now happily walking down the street, with Wren on one side and Afro on the other, and her smile had hardly stopped since she left the City Lord's Mansion. The pedestrians on the road kept saluting the three of them, and the fanaticism and longing in their eyes were about to sparkle, and Celeste was very happy and happy with the respect from the heart of these people. Because the person these people respect is Brother Rennes, whom she likes very much.
Compared to Celeste's excitement, Aphro was much calmer, she had been a saint before coming to Ortlenburg, she had already seen this kind of gaze numb, and she could no longer feel a trace of freshness and excitement, indifferent like Wren.
"They adore you, brother. Shaking Wren's arm, the little girl jumped as she walked, completely forgetting that the etiquette taught her that a lady should be reserved.
Wren enjoyed the people's gaze and said lightly: "They don't respect me, but the future I give them." ”
Such an esoteric explanation, Celeste didn't understand, and her eyes were suddenly drawn to the bunches of fruit on the side of the road. Most of these fruits came from the wild fruit trees in the Salme Mountains, and they were more sweet and sour than those cultivated artificially, but the little girl began to swallow wildly when she saw the red and green and slightly immature skin. The well-developed salivary glands at the base of her tongue continued to secrete saliva, and the syllables she spit out began to be out of tune when she spoke, "Brother, I want to eat that." ”
She pointed to the skewers of fruit on the side of the road, and Wren led the three of them over.
Three?
Of course, there is also the great butler of the City Lord's Mansion, Von Kos, but Wren asks him to be ten meters away from him, and this guy always wants to get to his side, which makes Wren feel very terrifying. In particular, Vonkos's gaze was so gentle that it almost melted the whole world, and Wren really didn't want to get close to him, for fear that this guy would bend himself. I have to say that sometimes Fontos's gentle smile does give people a thrilling beauty, a beauty that is different from that of a woman.
The fruit is the size of a child's fist, green and red, and is passed through by a wooden drill, which is very tempting. Celeste was expectantly choosing four of the dozen strings, and kept swallowing his saliva. The fruit seller looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was a very energetic boy, his complexion was slightly dark, and he seemed to be exposed to the sun a lot. There was a hint of admiration, a hint of inferiority, and a hint of despair in his eyes as he looked at Celeste.
He quickly plucked the fruit skewers that Celeste had fancied, and put them in a small basin full of fructose, and there was a small stove under the small basin to keep the fructose in a melting state. The fruit skewers were wrapped in a thin layer of syrup, and the thin shredded sugar was handed to the little girl. As soon as the wind blew, the sugar shredded became brittle and broke, and the little girl took a happy bite after taking the fruit skewers, first with a sweet face, and then with a sour facial features squeezed together, even tears were squeezed out. Wren looked at it with joy, how can there be any ripe fruit at this time, why is it coated in a layer of syrup? It's because it's too sour.
Wren took out a silver coin and threw it over, the young man waved his hand again and again, caught the silver coin in a panic, and returned it, "My lord, the money can't be collected, please take it back." ”
"This is not the money I used to buy your things, have you ever seen a city lord who bought things and gave back the money?", Wren said with a smile, the kid was stunned for a while, is it really okay to say this kind of thing directly? Wren said: "This is my hard work that I have seen, you use your hands to realize your dreams, I think I should reward you with something to encourage your independence and self-improvement." ”
Some people gathered around and looked curiously, they were not afraid of Wren, they knew that Wren was a good city lord, he never exploited and oppressed anyone in the city, but took care of everyone. What is there to fear in the face of such a ruler?
"I've seen a lot of people who talk about their dreams and their pursuits every day, but I rarely see them down-to-earth to achieve what they say. They only think that others reach out and put their dreams and pursuits in their hands, and they don't want to work hard, they just want to sit back and enjoy the results. But you, boy, are different from them, and you, like all the people in Ortlenburg, have the same excellent qualities. Although your step is small, this step is firm and steady. Wren looked at the silver coin in the boy's hand and pushed it back, "A silver coin may not be able to realize your dreams, but this is the first step to realizing your dreams, and it is also an affirmation of your efforts." I hope you will persevere until the day your dream comes true. ”
"Remember, no matter how desperate hell you are in, one day you can climb from hell to heaven with your hands!" )
