This is a family deed in six.

The top of the official paper is snow-white and scraped, and the top is the family coat of arms designed by Hesse himself - a huge sailing ship, with a ring of smoke formed by the firing of naval guns on one side, the bronze hull looks particularly heavy and simple, and the pale gold sails are full of money.

Around the sailboat is a wreath of roses made of four colors: gold, silver, bronze, and black iron.

The dense spiky rose branches are dotted with four-color flowers, which adds a touch of artistic atmosphere to the sailboat in the center.

Behind the galleon's rose wreath is a large embossed tower shield in the background, with a two-handed knight's sword diagonally passing through the tower shield from the upper left, and a half-cut blade poking out from the lower right of the tower shield.

The sailboat represents the source of wealth for the Rittal family.

Rose garlands, this is some kind of paranoid little hobby of Leah...... Hesse, who dotes on his wife, naturally will not miss this element on the family crest.

The tower shield and knight's sword were common family heraldic elements among the Teutonic nobles of the Empire.

The tower shield represents the status of the military aristocracy, while the knight's sword represents that the family has men in the army and has obtained certain merits in foreign wars.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a small gold star on the hilt of the knight's sword.

This means that the Rittal family has an Imperial General!

In the future, if the Rittal family grows and grows, the family spreads out, the population is large, and more clansmen join the army and obtain the rank of general, then the number of gold stars on the family coat of arms will also increase.

Through the number of Venus, outsiders can also tell whether this is a new wealthy family or a wealthy family with a long history.

In the Delenn Empire, such as the Duke of Zephyr and the Duke of the North Sea, the top Teutons had hundreds of Venus densely packed on their family coats of arms.

Compared with such a wealthy family, the lone Venus of the Weitu family seems so weak and meager.

On the snow-white official paper, the handwriting was neat and smooth with a typewriter.

Joe wiped his greasy palm against Ferdinand's scarlet pajamas, and in the midst of Ferdinand's loud curses, he picked up a document and flipped through it.

Six copies of the document, each of which had a dozen pages, each of which was stamped with the personal seal of Hesse and the official seal of the notary of the Supreme Court of the Delenn Empire.

And on the last page of the document, Hesse has already signed his name and stamped his seal.

Joe was next to Hesse's signature, and saw the signatures of Director Hammer, the Duke of Zephyr, the Duke of North Sea, as well as two other Imperial Supreme Court justices and several top Teutonic old nobles.

"Wow......" Ferdinand shook his pajamas, stretched his neck and leaned his head over, "This is a family contract?" Aha, Hesse, how much did you pay for these fellows to be notaries of your family deed? ”

Hesse shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciatively, "Oh, it's just a favor, it doesn't cost a penny." ”

Ferdinand snapped his lips: "A favor? Ah, young man, you still don't understand, it's better to owe money than to owe favors...... You know, it's easy to pay off debts. But I owe a favor, sometimes ......"

Shaking his head, Ferdinand's eyes lit up, he looked at Hesse and smiled: "As the crown prince, I think my personal name is still quite legally valid...... If I also sign this family deed as a witness......"

Hesse narrowed his eyes: "I owe you a favor?" ”

Ferdinand hurriedly shook his head: "Oh no, five million gold marks......"

Hesse sighed: "Forget it, your signature is precious, but five million gold marks...... None of anyone's money is blown by the wind. ”

Ferdinand looked at Hesse angrily: "Your money is blown by the wind, and you cheated poor George two billion gold marks last night!" ”

Hesse whistled.

Ferdinand sighed: "Okay, I sold myself cheaply, I signed, became a notary, and used the personal seal of the crown prince...... 1,000,000 gold marks, that's the lowest price...... You know, when I was young, I reconciled the territorial dispute between two vassal principalities, and the price they offered was tens of millions of gold marks! ”

Hesse coughed, and patted Ferdinand's shoulder with a smile: "So, what's so embarrassing?" Then, please sign the Witness field and use your seal! ”

"A million gold marks!" Ferdinand held up a finger in emphatic emphaticism.

"Of course, cash on delivery! I'm Hesse, and I'm the most trustworthy in trading. Hesse puffed out his chest.

Ferdinand grabbed the pen and quickly signed his full name on six documents. As he was signing, Mr. Stans ran to find a box of ink. Ferdinand took out his crown seal, which he had cast in gold, dipped it in mud, and lightly stamped it on the document.

Joe was dizzy by the intricate lines of terms on the paper, and the sheer number of property names.

He looked up and asked Hesse puzzled, "What kind of contract is this?" ”

Hesse patted his belly lightly with both hands, and he said in a deep voice: "You have all grown up, and besides, you all have knighthoods...... I thought about it for a while, and this bit of property of the Rittal family should have been determined earlier. ”

"Gorkin is your eldest brother, and the future province of Claude and his Upper Lockson County will be inherited by him. He is the eldest son, so the Chamber of Commerce of the Weitu family naturally has to be inherited by him. ”

"However, of all the profits of the Chamber of Commerce, he can only take fifty percent."

"Joe, according to Medland's common law of noble succession, as the second son, you cannot inherit the family business. This is also a common practice of various families, to avoid the strength of the family being thinned again and again, which leads to the weakening of the family's strength. ”

"But after all, the Rittal family is a new family, and you are also the son of me and Leah, so you, as well as your children and grandchildren, will enjoy 30% of the profits of the Rittal family chamber of commerce. But these 30% profits, the future can not be cut, can only be inherited by one of your descendants. ”

Joe blinked.

His mind was a little confused...... He's only a little over eighteen years old, so how did he get involved in these things?

"Tifa, Vima, you're all going to get married. Of course, the daughter of the Weitu family can't be underestimated. Each of you has a county territory, which will be inherited by one of your sons and daughters. ”

"You will all enjoy the profit of the Rittal Chamber of Commerce."

"Of course, like Joe, you only have the right to dividends, and you can't interfere in the operation of the Chamber of Commerce. Chamber of Commerce, is Gorkin's. ”

Hesse patted the table gently: "We will return to the port of Tulum soon." ”

"These documents, in six copies, you hurry up and sign them...... One copy will be kept by me and Leah, one copy will be sent to the Imperial House of Lords for filing, and then one copy will be kept by each of you. The division of the Rittal family's industry was thus decided. ”

Hesse smiled brightly.

Joe blinked, he looked at Tifa, then at Weima, and shrugged his shoulders, "Well, I think, that makes sense...... Of course, there is a bit of a bad feeling in my heart, so we will split up? ”

Hesse smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just that your rights and interests are confirmed." The sooner you decide, the better, but don't be like those aristocratic families, all kinds of bullshit bastards come out of here. ”

Hesse snorted coldly and looked at Ferdinand pointedly.

Ferdinand rubbed his nose smugly, and he nodded to Hesse: "Ah, young man, what you did was wise...... Very wise...... While the family has just risen and there are not so many messy intrigues, it is indeed wise to settle them all together. ”

"Ah...... Is...... Envy! ”

Ferdinand put his hands behind his back, blinked his eyes, his eyes were sneaky like a mouse stealing oil and eating, and quickly swept over the documents spread out in front of him: "Can I ask how much your fleet can make in a year?" ”

Hesse tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a standard smiling expression.

Ferdinand looked at Hesse angrily and exclaimed, "What do you mean? What's your expression? Do you think I'm going to spy on your property? I, Ferdinand von Hyderaberg, I'm ......"

Hesse pulled out a thick traveler's check book, grabbed a pen, quickly scribbled a long list of numbers on it, and signed his name.

He tore down the check and handed it to Ferdinand lightly: "Pen fee, Your Royal Highness!" ”

Ferdinand immediately bared his teeth and grinned: "You are a generous and generous gentleman, Lord Hesse...... It's a pity I don't have a daughter, otherwise ......"

Jo quickly interrupted Ferdinand's next words: "Your Highness, even if you have a daughter, your current age...... Hehe, I didn't mean to change my mother. ”

Joe grabbed the pen, signed his name on six papers, and dropped the pen in his hand.

Hesse smiled and nodded to Tifa and Weima, who were standing behind him: "Then, Tifa, Weima, hurry up and sign your names...... Ah, dear little Weima, in the future, your pocket money can buy a boatload of sweets! ”

Jo sat back down at the table, grabbed a large sausage, and munched on it.

In his heart, there was a faint sadness.

There is an inexplicable taste in my heart.

Laplachi's high-pitched voice rang in Joe's head: "It's complicated...... Human feelings, human emotions, human choices...... It's really, really, complicated! ”

"But what a funny thing it is."

"Really, it's hard for me to understand...... Sometimes, you attach great importance to family affection...... But you have to use contracts to ensure the continuation of this family affection...... Is human nature good or evil? Is it beautiful or ugly? ”

Joe ignored Laplasi.

Human nature?

What does this word have to do with you?

You're not human!
