Chapter 377: New City Sale
readx;? The more His Highness and the Second Highness talked, the more excited they became, but they didn't notice the expressions of Catherine and the Grand Duke. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 In their hearts, if they could sacrifice a Catherine to pull Meng Han under their command, they would never frown.
"I'm tired, let me be quiet!" the old man said a little tired after they had been making noise for a long time. His Royal Highness and Second Highness glanced at each other, and neither of them said anything more, and turned to leave. "Father!" Catherine wailed behind the old duke's back, threw herself on the old man's shoulder, and cried profusely.
"Catherine!" the old duke took Catherine's hand, pulled him to his side, looked carefully at Catherine's originally delicate face, which was now full of sadness, and cried softly, and then sighed: "If you were a man, how good it would be!"
"The family has reached this point, and the Marquis is already immortal, unless I am willing to abdicate. The eldest duke took his daughter's hand and said to himself, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or explaining to Catherine: "However, if I abdicate, your two brothers will never be happy, they will definitely make trouble, and this gives the Marquis an excuse to kill them." If I don't abdicate, we can only fight to the death, and we still can't survive by just fighting hard. "Are we just waiting to die?" Catherine also understood the gravity of the situation, in fact, even if the eldest prince did not say it, she knew it. "I won't wait until I die. There was a gleam in the old duke's eyes: "I still have the last strength to give us a chance to win." "Then use it quickly!" Catherine was like grasping at a life-saving straw, and her whole body was cheered up.
"However, this only works for the Marquis. The old duke smiled bitterly, "But, even if we defeat the marquis, what will happen to his so many unruly men? Even if we don't die at the hands of the marquis, we won't last long!
"Unless there is a strong person who can support us. The old duke looked at his daughter
finally told the truth: "If you want the family to win, and you want your brother to continue to be the Grand Duke, if you want to sit firmly in the position of the Grand Duke, in the Duchy of Transes, you must have the support of Count Antonio." After speaking, the old man's eyes also showed a sense of expectation.
"For the sake of the family, I have to seduce Antonio and turn him on our side, right?" Catherine's eyes were red, and the expression on her face was a little shocked: "Even if we have the last hole cards, it has to be like this, right?"
"Catherine, for the sake of the family, you can only be wronged. The old duke nodded very sadly, he had to make such a statement, although he did not feel that there was anything wrong with sacrificing his daughter for the sake of the family: "Even if we use the last hole card, without the support of Count Antonio, the Grand Duke of Trans is only a poor Grand Duke, and will soon be annexed by other principalities." You don't want your brother to end up like this when he becomes the Grand Duke, do you?"
"I see!" Catherine calmed down, but the indifference in her words made the old duke's heart tremble. Looking at her father, Catherine locked her heart completely: "It's a pity that I'm a woman, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, right? I'll go out tomorrow and go to Count Antonio!"
"Do whatever it takes to seduce him, win him over, and tell him that as long as you support your brother, he can become a marquis!" The eldest duke nodded and instructed Catherine: "As for which brother to support, you decide for yourself! You can only succeed, not fail, otherwise, the family will never have a chance to turn over!"
"Yes, Father!" Catherine agreed, turning away with a straight face, her heart shattered to the smallest shard. Even his father, who has always loved him, made such a decision. It's a pity that he is not a man and cannot inherit the title of Grand Duke. "If Her Royal Highness is interested in the position of Grand Duke one day, and is interested in me, then we might as well discuss the verbal agreement again. Meng Han's words naturally appeared in Catherine's mind at this moment, and corresponding to them was another thought of Catherine that surprised her: "Archduchess? Sounds like it's interesting!"
Meng Han didn't know that he had become a first-class target, and more and more people were pouring into Huangsha City, almost making the current Huangsha City feel that he couldn't let go, and the construction of the new city was imminent.
To Meng Han's surprise, many nobles appeared in Huangsha City with their families, as if overnight, Huangsha City had become a leisure resort for nobles. However, after Meng Han learned about it, he quickly understood that the battle between the Marquis and the eldest duke had reached the last moment, and they were about to be exhausted, and these nobles were obviously here to avoid the limelight.
The unique geographical location of Huangsha City, as well as the relationship between Meng Han and the Marquis, made it the only place that was not affected by the feud between the two sides. The nobles are not stupid, those neutral nobles know how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and Huangsha City has become the best choice not to leave the principality. Moreover, there are not only complete sets here, but also merchants from all over the world, all kinds of goods, and even various fine products from Master Antonio, except for the fact that the dragon and snake are mixed and cannot reflect the superiority of the nobility, everything else is simply perfect. After learning this, Meng Han couldn't help but smile: "Demi, go and call Grace!" A brilliant idea appeared in Meng Han's mind.
With Meng Han's financial resources, it is also a little difficult to build a new city immediately, but these Spring Clansmen who have sent them to the door have given Meng Han a chance. With their help, there is no worry that the new city will not be built. "Grace, give me a wine and gather these nobles and the big merchants. Meng Han instructed Grace.
"My lord, in what name?" Grace asked, looking forward to it in her heart, except for the time when the Lord's Mansion was completed, Meng Han had never taken the initiative to hold a drinking party, so he must have had some good ideas this time. "The auction of the new high-end residential area of Huangsha City!" Meng Han replied with a smile: "This time, we may be able to raise a sum of gold coins and start building our new city!"
"Yes, my lord!" Grace's eyes lit up, Meng Han's new city plan, of course she had seen it a long time ago, but those exquisite designs were still on paper, because of the gold coins, they couldn't be realized, and now they have a chance right away, how can they not make Grace happy. Naturally, Grace was happy, and Alice understood what was going on, and the same was open.
"My lord, Claudia and Miss Lydida plan to leave Huangsha City the day after tomorrow, do you want to go over and send them off?" Grace reminded Meng Han, and then asked again: "Do you want the wine to be held before they leave, or after they leave?" "Before leaving, then tomorrow!" Meng Han thought for a while and set a date for the 7th: "I will personally invite the two young ladies, and by the way, let them see the theater of their dreams." "Yes, sir!" Grace curtsied, and withdrew to make arrangements.
Meng Han's invitation caused a big wave of rendering. The brand new Huangsha City, an upscale settlement next to the brand new Lord's Palace. If there are enough gold coins, as long as you pay the price of 50,000 gold coins, you can get the drawings designed by the architectural master Count Antonio himself, and both the nobles and the big merchants go crazy.
Everyone knows what kind of place Huangsha City is now, it can be said to be a gold and silver cave. The wealth and goods of the Quartet are concentrated in this direction, and then scattered in all directions, if you can get a good piece of land here, it is definitely a great wealth. In this world, there may be those who hate light, those who hate darkness, and those who hate power, but there are those who do not hate gold.
The key is that in addition to wealth, there is enough security here, and I haven't seen even the clergy of the Empire of Light and the Empire of Darkness being hung high on the street of the gallows because of their crimes? Is there a safer place than here? Even in the capital of the kingdom, dare to send the priests of the Empire of Light and the Empire of Darkness to the gallows?
All of a sudden, Meng Han's invitation to the reception became the hottest commodity, and an invitation was directly sold for fifty gold coins. Naturally, there is the credit of Grace and Alice, with their understanding of these merchants in Huangsha City, the merchants who are willing to spend such a price to seize a step ahead in the new city can definitely be measured in the unit of hundred.
Soon on the morning of the reception, news broke that the reception would start with a new dance show by Claudia and Miss Lydida, which was also the last performance of the two diva idols in Huangsha City, after which they would leave Huangsha City for a period of tour.
As soon as this news came out, the price of the invitation directly doubled. Even Grace and Alice didn't expect that the attraction of the two diva idols, coupled with Meng Han's New Town Pool Pi Auction, would make those who wanted to enter pay a hundred gold coins. You must know that this hundred gold coins were enough for them to live for more than half a year before Meng Han came to Huangsha City.
Grace and Alice are deep in Meng Han's money-making tricks, in fact, there are only twenty truly free invitations. Ten cards were given to nobles with financial resources above earldom, while the other ten cards were given to those who were really big merchants.
And the extra 200 and nearly 300 invitations were all sold through various channels. With this cliff alone, Meng Han earned more than 20,000 gold coins.
All the people who got the invitation were in extraordinary ecstasy, and everyone was waiting for the opening time to come. There was never a moment when i1 made them feel that time was passing so slowly, and they couldn't wait to find a way to speed it up.
There is a change in the evening, ask for a monthly pass!
