"Grand Duke, we have arrived!" the public is Lacey's commercial Lianming Branch" The guide Lu Qing was stunned and took the fat man, and stopped his horse in front of an iron gate, which was a two-story courtyard, with verdant vines climbing all over the iron fence, several white-framed windows were ajar, and a palm-sized blue sky pole sign was inlaid on the door, "How can this be like this? I think the business outside should be good, but why is it so quiet here?" The fat man got off his horse, handed the reins of the horse to the guards behind him, took out the white fox fur from the weapon slot of the vest, and hung it on the crook of his right arm, ready to use it at night, and glanced around with a puzzled look on his face, if it wasn't for Morpheus himself pointing it out, the fat man would have thought that this was just an ordinary country courtyard. () Quiet and deserted, incompatible with the bustling business outside, it is probably the most shabby business alliance branch that the fat man has ever seen.

"My lord, it's always been like this!" Morpheus saw the fat man's unhappy face, smiled awkwardly at the corner of his mouth, and carefully explained. There is still a long distance from the main fort of economic development, most of the caravans passing through here are transiting north, or adventurers who go to the west to explore, although it seems to be lively, in fact, the real consumption is mostly local cheap leather products, as a small transit station, our business alliance here is only a symbolic set up of a branch, as a mobilization of materials, itself is not much to buy and sell

"I see!" The fat man nodded suddenly and said, "You are right, from the situation along the way just now, it seems that the consumption power here is indeed insufficient, and it does not have the potential to become a commercial center, and it is okay as a small trade transit station."

"Actually, I think it's a good place. You have a good eye for "quiet places can give me a good night's sleep!" The fat man turned back and smiled at the nervous Morpheus, reassuringly

"I know that the model of business alliance cannot achieve good development in any system and environment, especially in the early stage of development, it is necessary to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to build trade sites, and it is also necessary to have convenient and smooth transportation lines.

When the adult Morpheus heard the fat man's words, his nervous face was stunned for a moment, and then he showed an indescribable touch, his eyes were slightly red, and his lips opened slightly. But he did not speak,

Who is the fat man?The regent of the kingdom!The Grand Duke of Falcon!The backstage boss of the Business Alliance!Any identity is enough to put a little person like Morpheus. Crushed with one finger,"

However, it is such a big man who sneezes and makes Vekia tremble, and he personally admits his mistakes to a small person like himself, which has to make a strong person like Morpheus feel the urge to bow down, and all the hardships of establishing the northern branch of the business alliance seem to be worth it because of this sentence.

The fat man looked at Morpheus with an excited face, his palm shook a few times, and he said with a resolute expression, "Don't say it!" Deacon Morpheus, don't worry, I'm not a person who pushes responsibility, the business alliance can gain a firm foothold in this land, which is a great thing in itself, and I will compensate for the previous mistakes!" In fact, the fat man also knew what Morpheus wanted to say, that is, the problem of the local system, the premise of the great development of the business alliance was the local business encouragement policy of Samore, and the protection of the Samarish army along the way, and this was Jones's territory,

Although the Jones family has been fully inclined to Samore, the lord system still follows in the system, after several wars, the population of the territory has been reduced, from the original 80,000 to the current 40,000.

Relying on the commercial system based on river transportation and the geographical environment close to the western wilderness, it has become a short board in the commercial development of Jones's territory, without sufficient population consumption power, it is destined to become a small cargo distribution center for a period of time, and it is impossible to form a large commercial center such as the southern Riwa Cheze and Rivading.

Even the northern Khubor Laban can't compare, at least the six northern counties north of Khuboraban used to be the most prosperous area of the kingdom, and under the protection of the Stien family, they have escaped several wars and catastrophes, and have a very good economic foundation, so that Khuboraban has the capital to become the largest smuggling distribution center

At the beginning of the construction of the northern territory of the Jones family, the starting point of the fat man's consideration was not to develop commerce, but to seek a military support point for Samore in the north of the kingdom.

Under this Juche ideology, most of the funds allocated by Ge are used for military purposes in the main fort of the territory, and the investment in other regions is strictly insufficient, which leads to this embarrassing and embarrassing imbalance.

Because Kujit's distance is relatively far, when the fat man arrived, the Kujit secret envoy had not yet arrived, and the business alliance branch had a second-value concubine, and Fat Wu was arranged in the most luxurious newspaper suite on the west side of the second floor.

The fat man gave his precious white fox fur to the guards in charge of rotation at night to wear to resist the cold of the night.

This makes the guards even more enthusiastic, the precious fox fur of 100,000 gold coins, the special grace of the Grand Duke, even if you wear it, it is enough to become the capital to show off to your companions when chatting in the future, and maybe you can also become a celebrity in the history of the family!

The night here was very cold, the fat man took off his ice-like chain mail, put on a thick cotton coat, stretched out his hand and threw a torch burning on the wall into the fireplace full of firewood in front of him, and a dark blue flame roasted the dry yellow wood, making a crackling sound, these firewood are teak, which is a specialty of the cold region. Wooden sparseness, which looks like it is dyed with a layer of grease, is the best material for lighting fires and heating in cold areas.

The teak pile of the fireplace burned quickly, and the room was lit up by the reddish firefire. The white cold air rolled and disappeared into the air, and the dry and cold room gradually became warm, like soaking in warm water.

After a few days of long journey, the fat man felt that his little body bones were about to be bumped, and he had just taken a steaming bath, and in front of the warm spring-like stove, he felt a sense of comfort from his bones.

There was a knock on the door of the outer room, and the fat man walked over a little reluctantly. I saw that it was the guard Latos standing guard downstairs, with a white fox fur cloak around his neck, and a few white snowflakes on it,

This is the captain of the Guards who came from the Thorn Tile Longbowman. I always like to follow the previous habits in the group, put these things that can show my identity in the most eye-catching position, so that I look nondescript, and this time the fat man carried a dozen or so guards, 4 of them were just selected from the Longbow Force.

"Your Excellency! Kujit has made a secret envoy to the branch office, and has asked to meet your Excellency immediately. Guards Latos whispered, the fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, he didn't expect the Kugit envoy to come on such a cold night, the fat man was comfortably happy, and he didn't want to leave his warm bedroom to meet the damn Kujits,

What's more, he is now a grand duke on the powerful side, so he met so hastily. also lost their identity, the Kugit people have always been unruly, drying them, for the later negotiations are good, this time the Kugit people secretly meet themselves, I am afraid that if what they ask for is not revealed to the details of their urgent need for help, this will only make the Kugit lion open his mouth, so that the whole negotiation situation is unfavorable,

"Sue them that I'm already resting, tomorrow" The fat man thought for a moment with a solemn face, waved his hand to the guard Latos, and prepared to turn into the room

"My lord, the secret envoy of Kugit said that he had an urgent matter to see." Guard Latos blinked with a hesitant face, his eyes were strange, his hands presented a scimitar with a kugit style, and he said respectfully, "They say that the old acquaintance of the adult, the owner of this saber, is now in the Western Alliance!"

"This!" the fat man's eyes straightened, and he took it from Latos's hand with a solemn face, and his eyes carefully swept over the luxurious scabbard inlaid with huge sapphires, "There are a few beautiful gold wire pendants hanging from the golden hilt,

The fat man's fingers pressed against the scabbard slightly,

"Lock" A crisp knife sounded, and the smooth knife faced a round of bright moon, jumping out of the scabbard in half, bright and dazzling, sharp blade. It has an eerie faint blue. It looks so dazzling,

"Prairie Blue Moon". The fat man's heart was shocked, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but tremble, it must be a luxurious and weird scimitar, it was the saber of the Left Guard King that he had captured from the Kugit people during his career,

He also used this knife to extort a million gold coins from the Southern Fool Nezar family, and at the combination of the knife face and the hilt, it was also marked with his favorite spoof label, indicating that this was his first "Nu". No. personal belongings.

After the occupation of the southern Rivacheze, the fat man had carefully sent people to look for it, but this mysterious saber had disappeared without a trace along with the Nissa family, who had been wiped out by Dadanielhe, in the civil strife, for this reason, the fat man also felt a pain in his flesh, what a good thing, even if it is not used, it is not bad to put it in the hall as an ornament!

Later, the fat man also wanted to open it, and secretly lucked himself in his heart, thinking that this thing was just like Lu Longma who interfered with the lord in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the thing was good, but unfortunately it was not very lucky, and it seemed to be suspected of hindering the lord!

"Could it be that this knife has fallen into the hands of the court of Kugit? The fat man frowned with a complicated face, he didn't expect to see this ominous trophy, this thing seems to have a natural attachment to war, every time it appears, it must be accompanied by blood and killing, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle sleeve, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
