Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Greedy Merchant and the Cunning Munch
Xia Zuo walked up to Mira and asked in a low voice what happened, and sure enough, as he guessed, Mila couldn't get used to seeing these guards abusing slaves, especially among the people who were whipped, there was also an old man with gray hair, so he stepped forward to intervene, which naturally caused a dispute.
Mira had also found out that the matter was too big and no longer under her control, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy, for fear that Xia Zuo would blame, but she found that Xia Zuo's tone was stable and there was no blame at all, so she put her mind at ease.
Although he was a little angry in his heart, now was indeed not the time to blame, Xia Zuo deliberately showed a nervous and concerned look, vigorously comforted Mira, and took over Mira, who had already put her mind at a loss, to become uneasy again.
And the middle-aged man with the mustache also frowned deeply after hearing the narration of his subordinates, and looked at Xia Zuo with his eyes waiting for the other party to give a final answer.
"President Jennis, Lord Xia Zuo" The little old man in charge touched the closed sweat on his head, and walked between the two in fear and comforted, "Everyone is their own people, and there are no casualties, the two adults will look at the old face of the little old man and take a step back from each other, forget it"
"What an adult!" With Xia Zuo's support, Buman's panic immediately went away, and he scolded loudly at the right time, "I should call my lord lord."
The word lord entered the second middle school, Jennis's small eyes immediately flashed with gold coins, although he was in charge of a chamber of commerce, but he was not from a noble background when he made a fortune from the slave trade, and this is also the reason why he ordered his subordinates to strictly prohibit things in the aristocratic area, after all, this is where the nobles live, which are his food and clothing parents, and the loss of offending a random one is his golden gold coins.
Otherwise, even if Mira is brave, she is a weak little girl after all, how can she knock down a heavily armed guard with one blow.
And a lord can be regarded as a big financier for him who is engaged in the slave business, and if he can take over the slave business of a territory, then his assets can definitely be doubled in a year or two.
Sent to the opportunity in front of him, the nature of the businessman suddenly prevailed, although now it is clear who is who is wrong, but it is meaningless to only figure out who is wrong, and now what should be thought about is how to seize the opportunity and not let the gold coins sent to the mouth run away.
Just as Xia Zuo was anxiously and worriedly comforting Mira, as well as Mira's slightly flustered white face and bumpy figure, Jennis's heart suddenly settled.
After many years of business, he has already summed up his experience, no matter how noble the lord is, or how big the official is, it is not terrible, no matter how much the other party talks, there is no problem, for him, the more the better, the worst is the kind of person who has no desires and no hobbies.
Since the lord in front of him cares so much about this little girl, then isn't this an opportunity given to him by God, thinking of this, there have been countless golden hills built of gold cups in front of his eyes.
"My lord, I think the matter is clear, this is all my subordinate's responsibility!" Jennis didn't care about the indignant eyes of the guards behind him, he knew the temperament of these boys, and there was nothing wrong with turning around and handing out some gold coins, "They all came from small places, they have never seen the world, they have no education, and they have collided with this beautiful lady, I, as their boss, am here to apologize to a few of them on their behalf!
I have to say that Jennis is a qualified businessman, and the appearance of a smiling face immediately eases the tense atmosphere, but Xia Zuo still deliberately frowned, and said in a deep voice with dissatisfaction: "Mila is my most personal maid, and even I am reluctant to let her suffer the slightest grievance on weekdays, your subordinates are so rude, how can you just want to apologize?"
While shining in Jennis's eyes, and deliberately lowering his posture, Xia Zuo secretly captured all the changes in the other party, although he didn't know the identity of the other party, but since he was so humble, he naturally wanted something, and he simply wanted to be too tall in order to strive for more benefits.
Jennis scolded in his heart, just a maid, even if she is favored, how can she not bear the slightest grievance, but she just wants more benefits, but she doesn't dare to slack off on her face, and said with a smile, "That's, that's it, it's my inconsiderateness, I see that the lord seems to be lightly dressed, so it's better for me to choose two smart, beautiful and generous maids later to give to Ms. Mira, it's also a little bit of my heart!"
said that it was given to Mira, but sending the two girls to Xia Zuo who was "**" was undoubtedly a sheep's mouth, and what did Jennis think, the nobles present couldn't understand it, and they all laughed obscenely.
After hearing this, Xia Zuo turned to Mira and asked softly, "How is it?"
That doting look made Mira's head uneasy, and she said weakly and softly, "I don't want any maids, it's good for you to let him spare those poor slaves!"
As soon as the weak words were finished, everyone present couldn't help but secretly scream What a smart woman, no wonder this little lord can be so spoiled, the seemingly weak words not only show their kindness, but also cut off the possibility of competitors appearing.
While people admired it, Xia Zuo frowned slightly, it was his right to use the master how to use his slaves, even the nobles had no right to interfere.
Sure enough, Janis frowned, after all, this was a bit excessive, especially for a merchant like him who made a living from the slave trade.
"President Jennis, you don't have to be embarrassed!" Since the other party gave face, Xia Zuo couldn't help but give the other party steps, stretched out his hand and pointed to an old slave in the queue who looked gray and Mila's father had a slight imagination and said, "I'll buy your old slave for the price of a middle-aged slave!"
Hearing Xia Zuo say this, Jennis's brows suddenly stretched, the old slave had no capital, it was given to him by the other party as a gift when he bought slaves in Sarnia Prison, he was old, weak and weak, and he could die at any time when he looked at the mountains, and even if he was transported to the mine of this destination, he couldn't buy a few dollars.
The previous hesitation was just because, if he agreed, then it would be difficult to discipline other slaves in the future, and now since the other party is willing to spend the price of a middle-aged slave to buy, this kind of free money, plus the matter of giving favors, how could he refuse, and immediately agreed happily.
Next, Mira was naturally surprised to bring out the old slave, and the original tense relationship was restored, the two drank hand in hand, and Jennis shouted that he wanted to put on a feast and entertain everyone present, these are all aristocratic lords, and the characters who can't be invited on weekdays have been turned into a social field with the nobles by taking advantage of a crisis.
Being able to settle the matter peacefully has made the little old man in charge overjoyed, and there can still let the guests pay for it, and immediately shout loudly that tonight's wine banquet is free, and it will be used as a hotel to make amends for the distinguished guests.
Crystal clear wine, exquisite desserts, fragrant and tempting dishes, an endless stream of serving, completely sufficient supply, Janis with a warm smile that makes people can't help but give birth to a good feeling, holding a delicate wine glass made of sterling silver in the crowd, always angry and laughing everywhere he goes, and soon climbed into contact with many nobles who are difficult to get in on weekdays.
The little unhappiness before disappeared in laughter.
"Lord Xia Zuo, at first glance, he is a child of a big family, why did he come back to the small city that we are close to?" Janis asked cautiously tentatively, carefully provoking the topic.
If he didn't have a huge family background, Yi Xia Zuo looked like he had just passed the coming-of-age ceremony, how could he become a nobleman with his own territory.
"It's nothing!" Xia Zuo leaned on the leather sofa with gold frames, and the wine in the silver cup in his hand was as red as blood, which made Xia Zuo, who was a Saiyan, feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, and said comfortably, "It's just that there are some good things in my territory, and I want to turn them into gold coins without letting others know!"
For this statement, Xia Zuo had already thought about countless things before he came, and the reason why he told Jennis was that Xia Zuo suddenly found that if such a businessman helped him, then what he wanted to do in Salnia would be much simpler.
"I don't know what it is?" Jennis's face flushed, suppressing the excitement in his heart and asked cautiously, his little eyes had begun to flash with greed, no matter what was in the territory, then as long as he took Xia Zuo's line, he would definitely make money.
"An iron mine, I'll mine it out without anyone knowing!" Xia Zuo took a sip of wine and glanced at Jennis, who looked like blood on the corner of his mouth, which immediately made Jennis shudder, and woke up from the greedy **, only then did he notice Xia Zuo's words.
Although he is not an aristocrat, he who wandered around the nobility last year, knows very well how terrifying the blood and darkness are hidden under the noble skin of the so-called aristocracy, and the ruthless game that exists completely for his own interests, and he is obviously unconsciously caught in it.
Xia Zuo's fleeting coldness made Jennis sigh and spit out, just as Xia Zuo wanted him to know, he regarded Xia Zuo as a disciple of a family competing for the inheritance of a wealthy family, and a trace of regret flashed in his heart, but it was soon replaced by greed and surprise.
An heir who has taken the heir has his own territory, so how big will the background behind Xia Zuo be, although the other party obviously does not want to reveal his identity, but Jennis has begun to secretly figure out Xia Zuo's origin in his heart.
And such a son of a wealthy family, in addition to the crisis, represents more opportunities, if he can help him take away what he wants, then his chamber of commerce can soar, and it is even possible to get rid of the identity of a commoner and become a noble nobleman of the Rodman Empire.
Although the villain's chamber of commerce is not large, more than a thousand slaves can still be gathered, as long as you say a word, I will mobilize it for you now!" Jennis couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said with a little excitement.
"No, no" Xia Zuo shook his hand casually, "The mines in my territory are just newly discovered, and they haven't started construction yet, don't worry about the slaves first, I want you to help me purchase mining equipment, as well as the raw materials needed to smelt steel and build a blast furnace, no matter how many gold coins, I will provide it to you, but you can't buy it in my name, do you understand this?"
