Chapter 441: Big Business

"Here you are, Locke. "His Royal Highness was very busy, and he just said hello to Lorist who entered the hall, and there was a thick stack of documents in front of him, and he thought for a while and then began to write something on the documents.www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, good afternoon. Lorist made an audience salute and glanced at it by the way. His eyes were very good, and he could clearly see that the Second Highness was holding personal and family information in his hands, and he knew in his heart that this must be those territorial nobles who followed the four Grand Dukes in the middle, and the Second Highness was deciding what to do with them.

His Royal Highness didn't seem to notice Lorist's greeting, and his eyes kept on the document in his hand. Lorist didn't care, straightened up to himself, and began to look curiously at the palace where His Second Highness lived in Hans City.

This is also one of the top ten famous palaces in the pre-Clison Empire, the Machubi Palace. In the folk mythology of the continent of Gelinthia, the Kewpie is a kind of elf, the size of a thumb, and this little elf called Kewpie will bring good luck and happiness to the humans they like. Legend has it that there is a black-haired elf among Cuppies who like to make clothes out of black petals, and they are called Mochupie, and their favorite is the brave warrior. If any warrior is lucky enough to win the favor of Machubi, he will be given courage and endurance by Machubee, and he will be invincible on the battlefield.

One of the ancestors of the Handra family was an invincible warrior on the battlefield, unscathed. Legend has it that he was a warrior who was blessed by Mercury, and the ancestor of the Handla family lived up to the speculation and admiration for him, and in his old age he hired someone to build the Machubi Palace with his life's worth of money.

Legend has it that the craftsmen who built the palace carved a thousand different forms of Murquipee into the decoration of the palace, hidden in a variety of patterns and patterns. If anyone could distinguish between a thousand different Mochupes, they would be blessed by the Mochuppes just like the ancestors of the Handra family.

The Machubi Palace had always been the residence of the Grand Duke of Handla, but now it was the residence of His Royal Highness. Lorist looked up at the decorative lace around the palace's ceiling, trying to count how many Machubees' shapes there were......

"What are you doing?" I don't know when the Second Highness came down to Lorist's side, and also looked up at the zenith, as if he was curious about what Lorist was looking at.

"Murbubie...... "Murquipe" was in vain, it had already been counted to fifty-three, but it was interrupted by the Second Highness, and Lorist couldn't figure out whether the two Machubi, who were entangled together wielding short swords and shields and fighting, had already counted, forget it, not count, it is estimated that there are more than sixty Machubi in the decoration of this side hall alone, and counting this thing takes both effort and eyes......

His Royal Highness smiled dumbly: "You also believe in that legend?"

Lorist shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I'm just curious to count and play, in fact I think this legend is actually a trap. ”

"Trap?" Second Highness didn't expect Lorist to reply, "Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty, I think that if a person can have so much energy and perseverance to find these thousand Machupes, it is better to put this energy on his own cultivation, and after a long time, he will naturally become an invincible warrior when he rises to the level. ”

The Second Highness bowed his head: "You have a very reasonable point, in fact, there is such an incident recorded in the case file of the Handra family, about seventy years ago, a member of the Handla family swore that he must find these thousand Mochubi patterns and get the blessing of Mochubie. Unfortunately, it took him more than thirty years to search all corners of the palace, but in the end he could find only 997 Murquibee sculptures, and he couldn't find three more. At last he went mad, and spent the whole day searching the palace, and his mouth was reading where and where, until one night he stumbled and fell into the water......"

Lorist sighed: "This is really a tragic story. ”

"yes, so the Handra family has not let anyone in the family look for a thousand Machubees since then. The Second Highness looked up at the Murquipe sculpture in the zenith ornamental pattern again: "As you said, if you spend more than thirty years of energy on Dou Qi cultivation, then no matter how ordinary his qualifications are, he can at least be promoted to the Golden Rank, whether it is for him personally or for his family, it will be a good ending." ”

Lorist smiled and said no more. His Royal Highness behaved a little strangely at this time, as if he had forgotten about Lorlist's refusal to obey his orders more than a month ago and was unwilling to lead his army to attack the defense line of the Duchy of Handla, and he was still as enthusiastic as ever, forgetting that he wanted to tear Lorist apart and swallow it alive.

"Okay, no more nonsense, you're here to get a reward, I've already written it for you. I really can't bear to say goodbye to you and go back to the family territory. His Highness turned back to the table and took a piece of vellum paper and handed it to Lorlist.

This is the tax exemption certificate, whether it is the lace or the king's seal on it, it shows that the Second Highness did not fool Lorist, and was prepared early. It's just that Lorist couldn't help but be stunned when he skimmed the date on it: "Your Majesty, did you write the wrong date?"

It was said that it was a three-year tax holiday, but this proves that the previous three years were changed to five years. Strange, could it be that the sun came out in the west today, when did the Second Highness become so generous? Lorist preferred to believe that it was the Second Highness who was busy and dizzy, and there was a clerical error.

His Royal Highness waved his hand casually: "That's right, this is what you deserve." Locke, to be honest, this expedition to the Four Duchyes in the Middle is thanks to your help, so it was able to win with so few casualties in such a short period of time, and no one is as great as your achievements. Although we had an argument some time ago, it was because we had a different view of the situation. As it turns out, you are right, as a king, I must reward and punish clearly, and I cannot turn a blind eye to your exploits just because you have contradicted me. I don't think the reward you want is enough to reward you for your contribution to this war, so I decided to change your family's tax exemption from three years to five years. ”

Lorist bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. ”

"Needless to say, kind words. I'm just trying my best to be a king who is just in the world, and rewards and punishments are clear......"

"But Your Majesty, your disposition of Duke Shaheen is unfair, isn't it?" Lorist immediately kicked his nose and eyes.

"Uh......" The Second Highness was stunned by Lorlist's questioning, although he was a little embarrassed, he still maintained his demeanor and shook his head with a smile: "Duke Shaheen complained to you, it must be like this, who told you that the four families in the Northland are in the same breath, he should complain to you." It's just that Locke, think about it, I've given him two choices, he doesn't want either, can you blame me? I have done what I said, Limad Province and Meishan Province are both large provinces of mineral resources, and the income is much greater than that of his current county, as long as he develops it with peace of mind for one or two decades, he can obtain a large number of financial benefits, but he has given up, then I can't ...... it."

"Your Majesty, you also know the current situation in Limad Province and Meishan Province, and Duke Shaheen certainly would not want such a province as a family domain. He is not good at managing such affairs as developing territories, and he will have to wait for one or two decades to make a profit, how can he stand it?"

"Haha, but can I be blamed for this?" The Second Highness laughed loudly: "Who made the Meishan Province and the Limad Province almost a blank slate? Is it my order? Think about it yourself, Duke Shaheen wants the province of Crimea, but how much merit has he made in this war? Isn't he satisfied that he has been promoted to the Duke of the Kingdom? Even if I give him the province of Crimea, can he accept it with a clear conscience?"

Lorist shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing he could do. His Royal Highness is right, Duke Shaheen did not perform very well in this war, and he was indeed the role of a soy sauce passerby. Although he followed Lorlist's footsteps, he did not make any outstanding battlefield feats. His Royal Highness used this excuse to attack Loliste, and he had nothing to say.

"Well, Your Majesty, you're right, Duke Shaheen really shouldn't be delusional. Then I'll take my leave. Lorist felt that it was time for him to leave.

"Wait, Locke, I still have something to discuss with you. His Royal Highness hurriedly stayed.

"En?" Lorist said in his heart, the play meat is here, and he has nothing to do, and he is either a traitor or a thief. How could His Royal Highness be so kind to give him an extra two years of tax holidays, and dare to wait for him in an ambush here, I don't know what he is thinking......

"What's the matter, Your Majesty, what else do you command?" asked Lorlist.

"Oh, Locke, that's the case, I heard that you've been hunting demonic beasts in the Demon Plains across the river for more than a month?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Because you went on patrol, I didn't want to stay in Hans City and have nothing to do, so I took my family arms to Moyuan for daily training, so as not to disturb the people of Hans City. In addition, by the way, hunt some monsters to replenish some meat for the troops. Lorist replied.

"Hehe, Locke, I don't blame you. I just wanted to ask if the fur of those demonic beasts you hunted is still there?" asked His Royal Highness.

"Absolutely. Lorist replied with some confusion: "Your Majesty, do you want the fur of the Warcraft?" It just so happened that this time I got a few more precious Warcraft skins, and I will ask someone to bring them to you when I turn around." ”

"I can pay. ”

"No, just the fur of a dozen demonic beasts, just as a gift from me to His Majesty. Lorist said generously,

"No, Locke, I want all the furs of those monsters you hunted in the Demon Plains, and I can buy them from you at your expense. Second Highness said.

"All the furs of the Demon Beasts?" Lorist was dumbfounded, can you afford to buy them? In addition to some of the more precious furs that were shipped back to the family territory at the end of last year, the rest of the furs of the Demon Beasts that he led the family to hunt in the Demon Plains last month were worth nearly one million gold fords. Immediately Lorist came back to his senses, and His Royal Highness was really not short of money now, in addition to the donation of 1.5 million gold fords per person paid by the three grand dukes in the middle, he also seized nearly one million gold fords from the camp of the former Grand Duke of Falkel that were not taken away......

Well, and those nobles of the territory who followed the four Grand Dukes spontaneously handed over the contribution money used to atonement to the Second Highness, and the current Second Highness is a large amount of money! Lorist looked at the Second Highness warmly, as if there was a statue of a pile of gold standing in front of him.

But what does the Second Highness want so many monster furs? This is the only trace of clarity in Lorist's mind, could it be that he also wants to form and train a force or legion that can go out in winter? Lorist immediately understood the intention of the Second Highness to buy the monster fur from him. Whatever, do business first, don't slaughter nothing, miss this opportunity and regret it, is it really that easy to train in winter, do you really think that every soldier can come and go freely in the snowstorm with a warm suit? Hmph, you think too simply......

"Your Majesty, do you really want to buy all the monster furs?" Lorist suddenly became enthusiastic, and at this moment, the Second Highness seemed to have become his best friend.

His Royal Highness nodded reservedly.

"Okay, now the furs of the demonic beasts stored in the camp are estimated to be worth one hundred and fifty thousand goldfords, and I will give it a discount to Your Majesty, even if it is one hundred and twenty thousand goldfords? In addition, I have dozens of precious demonic beast skins, and I will also give them to Your Majesty. ”

Okay, just now I only said that I would send the furs of more than a dozen precious demonic beasts to the Second Highness, but now they will all be sent out at once, as long as the Second Highness is willing to pay for all the furs of the demonic beasts.

"Wait, how much do you say? It's worth one million four and a half million gold fords?Do you have so many monster furs?" Second Highness was a little dazed, he didn't expect that Lorist had so many monster skins, how many monsters did this guy kill in the Demon Plain!

His Royal Highness was going to form a small legion, which would be called the Blizzard Raid Legion. Train to use skis to be able to carry out raids in the winter wind and snow. When he crossed the Yunduan Mountain Range and the Great Snow Mountain, he had a profound lesson, and more than 30,000 people went out to fight, and in the end, only more than 8,000 people were left to follow him on a snowy night to attack the royal city of Feideliga. Therefore, he thinks that the raid troops are not much more expensive, and it is enough to have more than 10,000 people. It would be a waste of gold to have all the legionnaires undergo winter training like the Norton family's armed forces.

Lorist led the Flying Tiger Legion to the Demon Plains to hunt for demonic beasts, and the Second Highness knew about it at the end of last year, but at that time, one was to confuse the enemy and the other was to provide meat for the troops, so he didn't care much about it. In the heart of the Second Highness, he thought that it was a fool's act to consume the family armed in hunting Warcraft, and he didn't understand that the Norton family armed was originally the origin of the Warcraft Killer. At the end of last year, when Lorist rushed back to the family territory, he took away most of the more precious monster furs, and what he left in the camp was basically the furs of the Demon Plains, the Wild Wolf, the Horned Demon Antelope, and the Second Highness had also seen it.

In his heart, His Royal Highness thinks that if he wraps all the skins of those magical beasts in Lorist, it will be worth three or four hundred thousand gold forts at most, which is enough to make cold and warm clothes for that blizzard raid legion, maybe there are more. So as soon as I opened my mouth, it was all inclusive, but I didn't expect to be taken aback by Lorist.

"Of course, Your Majesty. I was also hunting demonic beasts in the Demon Plains last month, and they were all just hunted. Your Majesty, rest assured, the monster fur I brought is generally intact, and I will not use those broken rotten skins to pass off as good skins, and I can use the name of the Norton family to vouch for them. But I didn't expect Your Majesty to do business now, you must want to buy it from me at a low price and wait for it to be shipped back to the imperial capital and then throw it at a high price, Your Majesty will make a lot of money when you come and go......" Lorist is still talking about sales.

"This, this ......" Second Highness will have a tribulation to say, he really forgot, but this conversation has been too full to turn around.

"Your Majesty, you're not kidding me...... are you," Lorliste grimaced.

"No, no. As a king, he naturally speaks his mind, and I will send someone to your camp to accept ...... later" The Second Highness agreed with a bitter face.

"Alright, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first, and I will wait for the people you sent in the camp. Lorist walked away.
