795 Winter's Blood (4)
Baozi sincerely thanks: the prince of good deeds voted for 1 monthly ticket, and bill00000 voted for 1 monthly ticket;
The bow of the boat cut through the smooth mirror-like river, and there were bursts of beautiful ripples,
White mist light yarn, like rain like a phantom,
The fat man stood on the bow of a medium-sized merchant ship with a wide bottom and blue edges behind his back with his hands behind his back, and on the decks on both sides of the bow there was the logo of the golden scales of the business alliance,
The morning sun sprinkled on the smooth walls of the city of Rimir, one of the three northern counties in the distance, as if weaving a faint silver light into the cold of the tightly stacked piles.
"Your Majesty, the morning is windy, you have already occupied an hour, this is not good for your health" Mao Mona Qing walked up from behind, put on a velvet cloak to protect the fat man from the cold, and said in an affectionate and warm tone
On the plains on either side of the boat, in the white mist that floated like a water belt, a whole village, woods, and horse-drawn carriages could be faintly seen.
The fat man looked indifferent, pointed to the outline of the city of Remir in the distance, and suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, "What do you think of this city?"
"Is Your Majesty going to build an economic center in the north like Zhivading in the south?" Mao Monaqing's face was slightly stunned, and she quickly reacted from the fat man's words,
"You're right!" the fat man looked at the city that was getting closer and closer, and nodded solemnly, "With the gradual strengthening of the dynasty's control over the three northern counties, there is an urgent need for a new support point that can connect the north and the south.
The fat man's voice paused, his eyes looked into the distance in a daze, and he continued, "The river under our feet is called the Anran River, which is the largest tributary of the Anmingsi River among the many rivers rushing out of the Dorok Mountains.
Among the well-connected rivers, there is the Bororous River, which is 100 meters wide, and there is also a dense network of rivers that stretches on all sides like the root system of zelkova trees, and such excellent conditions are the basis for a new center!" said the fat man in an accentuated tone
At this time, the ships have slowly entered the city river, and the various ships moored in the harbor, one by one, the tall masts, cast a long shadow in the morning light, and the sailors are nervously and orderly packing up all kinds of goods, ready to unload, and Remeer has started another busy day in the morning light. (Update the fastest and most stable dìng, read and speak network, N.)
Mao Mona Qing felt that the whole city seemed to be full of vitality,
The fat man is right, the city is indeed becoming more and more like a new center, especially the deacons meeting of the business alliance that was only reported a few times ago, once every three months, decided to be held in this newly rising northern city,
This good news once again shook all the merchants on the mainland, and from this decision that was unexpected by everyone, the businessmen with a keen sense of smell clearly felt something
"The Falcon Dynasty seems to have the intention of moving the economic center to the center of the continent!" Such a vague message was once put forward by some sensitive merchants in October, but most merchants still thought that the center of gravity of the dynasty might still be expanding on the sea route, as for the north, it had just suffered a heavy blow, and it would take at least 10 years to recover its vitality, which was a whole generation
But the Falcon Majesty's large number of refugees from Rui Erdian quickly turned this disadvantage into an advantage, and the population, the dense population, with the infusion of dynastic funds, countless new cities sprung up like mushrooms after a rain...,
It is the nature of businessmen to chase profits, in just half a year, the Falcon Dynasty first won the victory of the northern grasslands, and then went east to destroy the first power in the mainland, Rui Erdian, the geographical area has more than doubled, and the population has expanded by 3 times, which can be imagined for the stimulation of commerce.
With the occupation of the entire territory of Rui Erdian, the situation on the mainland is becoming more and more obvious, from the layout point of view, the Falcon Dynasty's power territory has more than doubled, and it has become a real continental overlord.
The Zhivading Plain, located in the southwest, has been unable to keep up with the rapid expansion of the Falcon Empire.
In particular, most of the materials need to be transported by waterway from the south, and the burden generated by it has undoubtedly become the biggest hidden danger of the Falcon Dynasty.
The merchant had sensed that under the invisible hand of the Falcon Majesty, a new northern economic center similar to that of the southern Zhivading was being formed.
With a population of nearly 2 million, an abundance of unimaginable materials and minerals, convenient transportation, a water network connecting the north and the south, and especially with regard to the promulgation of the mayoral system adopted by the new city,
Just think about it can make the merchants excited to stay awake at night, this is a merchant's dynasty, the merchant for the first time, the merchant feels that his fate can be changed, even if he is not a noble, not a lord, he can become a city administrator,
At this moment, their hearts have been closely linked to this dynasty,
As a result of the boiling of the merchants, the speed of commercial development of the three northern counties for the first time surpassed that of Zhivadin, the center of the south, although it is still not at the same level as in the south, everyone believes that in five years at most, the three northern counties with more goods and more people will replace Zhivadin as the new center of the dynasty
For the far-sightedness of the Falcon Majesty, many businessmen are already admiring the five-body casting, as long as it is a discerning person, it can be seen,
Once the new center of the three northern counties developed,
The Falcon Dynasty will have two strong economic circles in the north and south at the same time, one has the advantage of maritime commerce, and the other has the advantage of dense population and abundant products, one south and one north, just like the strong wings of the Falcon Majesty, the strength of the Falcon Dynasty will invisibly step onto a new level
Getting off the ship, the fat man secretly entered a tavern that Sokutus Delan had arranged for him, and when he was moving his body on the balcony, he happened to see three large merchant ships slowly sailing into the harbor of the river, and the merchant ships were fluttering with the logo of the highest level of the business alliance, the fifth level of wealthy merchants,
There was a neat row of sailors on the deck, presumably one of the deacons arriving. Sure enough, a little later, he received a message that it turned out to be He Ruile, who was in charge of the southern sea trade, who came.
The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled, it's no wonder, this guy has a whole fleet of ships, no wonder those merchant ships just now are obviously a cut higher than other merchant ships, it turns out that they are all sea ships for sea trade transportation,
This guy's habit of showing off has not changed, and he doesn't know how many pairs of hating the rich have been added to himself out of thin air, so it's no wonder that when he was in trouble, everyone looked at it from afar, and he didn't mean to pull it at all
Open the door and ask someone to bring breakfast to Mao Mona Qing and Bo Sha Huali. The fat man was dressed neatly and went downstairs alone, the whole hotel had been blocked, although it was only a three-story inconspicuous hotel, in fact, there were 30 people in charge of guarding, from the gate to the stairs, to the residents of the room, all of them were disguised by the Vechia guards,
Of course, they are all concentrated below the second floor, the 8 rooms on the third floor and the 20-meter-wide balcony are all fat men and two women, and 20 meters diagonally opposite the three-story tavern is one of the most famous hotels in Remir.
Four huge golden pillars make up the entrance to the hotel, through which you can see the splendid decorations inside, and in the sunlight, it seems that even the air flows with the air of wealth,...,
Servants in red dresses spread out outside the door, and from time to time a richly decorated carriage stopped in front of the gate, from which well-dressed merchants, nobles, and wealthy people walked slowly in the cold winter months, carrying precious white Changsha dresses, surrounded by servants
"How's it going?"
The fat man fiddled with one of the rings in his hand, sat down in a position by the window, and asked the guard in charge of surveillance opposite,
Because it was morning, there were not many pedestrians outside the door, and there were only a few small vendors pushing carts selling goods at the door, and the eyes of these vendors were all staring at the gorgeous hotel in front of them
"I've seen the two deacons, Conleso and Aslerd!" the guard replied in a low voice, standing up,
"Oh, I saw two in one morning, it seems that the owner of this hotel has a lot of face!"
The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled coldly, and his fingers tapped the table rhythmically, according to the intelligence of the Ministry of Supervision, the food aristocrat who was greedy for ink from Paraven this time was actually just the spokesperson of a certain force, and the real person behind it was the owner of the luxury hotel in front of him, the Marquis of Percondi,
This person called the Marquis of Percondi, in the city of Rimir can definitely belong to the super giant crocodile like a super-crocodile, the history of the Bercondy family is very long, can even be traced back to the era of the millennium dynasty, this is a real famous family, there has been a record of three marriages with the royal family of Ruierdian, and it is also because of this that the purge of the lord of the three northern counties did not come to his head, but the power vacuum caused by the loss of checks and balances in the Rimir region gave the Bercondi family an excellent opportunity to gain benefits and power,
During the time of the Ryrdian period, smuggling was quite rampant in Rimir, and it was not unrelated to the fact that Bercondi was powerful in the city of Rimir
Although it has been deprived of a large number of estates outside the city by the Falcon Dynasty, it has not touched its family's property in the city, and its huge smuggling network is almost all over the three northern counties of Ruierdian
Seeing the fat man's contemplative look, the guard in charge of monitoring went to another point to squat very interestingly, and at this moment, the opposite side suddenly became lively again,
A richly decorated carriage with four horses stopped at the door of the tavern in front,
A group of businessman-like men got out of the chairs at the front of the carriage and walked out of the carriage surrounded by a tall, thin highland man, who greeted the people around him politely as he walked. The fat man inadvertently looked at it twice, and was suddenly stunned,
"This person is a little familiar" I don't know why, the fat man thinks that this man should have seen him somewhere, but no matter how much he stirs his little head, he can't get this person's information
"This man's name is Sokutust, and he is one of the deputy of the target Percondi!"
A dull and respectful voice came from behind, and the head of the Supervision Department, Lidastov, half-bent over, came out from behind at the right time, bowing his head and frowning, as if he were the eyes and ears of the falcon and a loyal dog
"Oh, you're back so soon," the fat man was a little surprised when he saw Lidastov, and asked, "How is the matter with you?
"Your Majesty is wise!" Lidastov said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes lit up, "On the day His Majesty entered Parabun, the grain distribution officers who were greedy for ink food panicked, some of them wanted to escape, and we blocked them in the wilderness, we secretly imprisoned them, and there was no leakage at all, and the others who remained in Parabun were also in panic, and as of yesterday, when I left, 6 people had committed suicide.........,
"I'm not asking this, I'm asking how the grain is......" The fat man waved his hand a little impatiently, "As for those guys, how they died was their own fault! If it weren't for the fact that there were hundreds of people, it would affect the stability of the people's hearts, and I didn't want to give the Palauvenians the impression that the Falcon Army was brutal and murderous, I would have directly ordered the summary execution."
"Yes, yes, if you can choose how to die, Your Majesty is already extraordinarily gracious!" Lidastov hurriedly restrained the smile on his face and replied respectfully, "The 600,000 tons of grain have already been on the road the day after His Majesty entered the city, and they are under our surveillance along the way, as long as someone takes over, we will immediately arrest them, and never let a person and a grain be missed!"
"Well, that's the best" The fat man nodded slightly, and suddenly thought of something, "Wait, what did you say the deputy's last name is?"
"Sokutus!" replied Lidasto with great affirmation, "I knew him when I was in Kyoto before, he was a drunkard who was very bad at gambling, although he was born into a nobleman, but he was only a small nobleman, and I heard that in order to pay off his gambling debts, he even sold his own daughter!"
"Sell your daughter?Sokutus?" The fat man's eyes narrowed and narrowed, but there was a penetrating cold light, this surname is too familiar, plus the discipline of selling daughters, isn't this Sokutust the despicable father who sold Sokutus Delan in Kyoto to pay off his debts?
How could he be here!The fat man's fingers clenched together, in front of the meeting of the deacons of the Business Alliance, was this a coincidence from heaven or a conspiracy of man?
"How long has he been here?" the fat man continued,
"This man appeared three months ago" Seeing that the fat man was interested, Lidastov hurriedly continued, "I don't know why, three months ago, Bercondi suddenly brought him from Chrysto to Remir, and appointed him as his deputy, according to the observation of his subordinates, this person is at most a mediocre talent, and I don't know what the ambitious Percondi likes about him"
"Are you sure it was three months ago?" The fat man's face changed, and his orderly tapping fingers suddenly stopped, his face was terrifyingly cold, and even the words he said made the air a little colder.
Three months ago, it was the time when Sokutus Delan accompanied him back to Zhivadin, and on that trip, it was Sokutus Delan who took over her to deal with some liaison matters.
Obviously, without noticing, some people who have been secretly waiting for the opportunity to search for the true identity of the thirteenth deacon may have discovered something in some details,
Then the vine found Tusotust, who already thought his daughter was dead, and surrounded her with ulterior motives
Thinking of this, even the fat man felt furious, and the other party's move could be described as quite vicious
The meeting of the deacons of the business alliance is about to be held, and once before this meeting, the identity of Sokutus Delan is revealed by his own father, and the past of selling himself to pay off his debts is revealed.
A series of blows to Sokutus Delan will inevitably hit like a storm, and since it has begun, it will never give Cusotus Delan a chance to fight back.
Whether or not this conspiracy succeeds, the absolute authority of the Thirteenth Deacon at the top of the Business League will inevitably cease to exist, and if all the deacons initiate a collective impeachment at the deacons' meeting,
thinks that such an unhonorable woman is not worthy of serving as the thirteen deacons in charge of supervision, and when the time comes, even if she wants to protect herself, she is afraid that she will not be able to do it.
After all, the army can't control a qiē, unless they are prepared to bloody the business alliance, but that is the foundation that they have established single-handedly, and it is also the bloodline that beats under the strong wings of the Falcon Dynasty, once it sees blood, it will be a fatal blow to the foundation of the dynasty and the talents and resources cultivated over the years...,
The most vicious part of this plan is that after this incident, the position of the thirteenth deacon will cease to exist, and the business alliance will be out of his sight
Thinking of this, the fat man suddenly stood up and snorted, "What a bold man, he dares to play this trick with me, but he doesn't want to think about it, it's up to you?"
The voice was not loud, but it scared Lidastov next to him enough, and he thought that the fat man was talking about himself, so he knelt on the ground in fright, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your subordinates really didn't lie to you!"
"Get up, it's nothing to do with you!" the fat man waved his hand a little crying and laughing, and was slightly silent for a while before continuing to ask, "I remember that before the deacon's meeting, the thirteen deacons in charge of overseeing need to take the proposal from each deacon, right?"
"Yes, it is usually submitted by the deacons the day before the meeting," Lidastov stood up with a frightened face, "In order to review the reasonableness of the proposal, the proposal for each meeting must be approved by the thirteen deacons before it can be put on the agenda of the meeting, and this rule is still set by His Majesty!"
It seems that what they are waiting for is this moment! Figure out the joints, the fat man suddenly grinned slightly at the corner of his mouth, and wanted to recognize people in person, okay, I'll let you recognize a big pineapple!
"Big pineapple?" Lidastov next to him was completely stunned, what is the matter today, he is full of nonsense, and he is murderous and eager to find a few people to cut
