Chapter 885: Difficult Hu Xinzhubai
Great god of recommendation tickets, let the cute pink recommendation tickets rain down and let them all smash on the pig's head
Guess who Linzi will meet in Port Vias, and which old acquaintance he will meet
Gaga, begging for recommendation tickets, dear relatives, continue to throw the cute recommendation votes to the pig's head
The melodious waltz came from the Supreme Ruling Government, and countless gorgeous carriages filled the streets outside the Ruling Government, not because the Ruling Government did not have a special carriage parking lot, but because there were too many guests of the Ruling Government today, all the merchants of the entire Port of Vias City came over, no matter whether they were big or small businessmen, anyway, as long as they had a little money in hand, they all came over
The hall of the ruling government, which was large enough to accommodate 2,000 people dancing at the same time, was brightly lit, and countless well-dressed gentlemen and ladies filled the palatial hall like ants, and more people were not qualified to enter the hall, they could only nervously inquire in the side halls on both sides, or probe their brains in the square outside the hall, only those male and female servants roamed around freely, and gave free drinks and pastries to the guests
This was a lavish banquet destined to go down in the history of the Vyas Commercial Federation, both in terms of the number of attendees and the identity of the attendees, setting a record in the history of the Vyas Commercial Federation
Tens of thousands of nobles and merchants gathered together, and the envoys of the major empires, kingdoms, principalities, and dominions of the Western continent to the port city of Vias, as well as the nobles who happened to be here for vacation and leisure, all gathered here like flies smelling blood
'Lin Qi' wore a gorgeous set of extremely complicated and extravagant dresses worn by nobles in the Blood Qin Empire only when the Heaven and Earth Sacrifice was carried out, and there was nothing to say about this set of dresses, which were extremely luxurious, extremely complicated, and extremely valuable
A dress that could buy half a kingdom - this is the most sincere compliment of the merchants of Vyas, and the legend of this dress from the ancient empire of the East has truly become a legend of many noble families in the Western continent, passed down from generation to generation
'Lin Qi' hugged 'Bliss' and greeted those merchants and nobles in a serious manner, but Lin Qi's god puppet clone was just relaxed and flickered about the good weather today, the taste of the wine was very good, and the breasts of a certain maid were very rich, and he would only let out a hearty 'haha' laugh about his goods, his identity, and so on
The merchants and nobles who were talking to Lin Qi in the hall were all high-class goods in the Vyas Merchant Federation
In today's Vyas Commercial Federation, they can be regarded as wealthy families, and everyone's top businessmen and nobles are gathered in the conference room on the third floor of the ruling government, respectfully and eagerly looking at Hu Xinzhu, who is sitting at the conference table and slowly looking at the territory map of the Vyas Commercial Federation
Like a fallen puppet, and like a long worm with cramps, Hu Xinzhu lay on the conference table weakly, squinting his eyes and carefully looking at the huge map made of monster skin in front of him, his white and delicate fingers slid slowly on the map, and crossed one province after another painted with pale green colors
The Vyas Commercial Federation is a federal state composed of pure commercial families, large and small families constitute the main body of the country, and since it is a family, there are prosperous and decaying and even extinct those pale green territories are the original owners of the land, the terra nullius left after the demise, that is, the land that can be used by the ruling government to sell
And the pale red land on the map means that the owners here are still living and working in peace and contentment, and they are still rich and prosperous, so the ruling government has no right to dispose of these lands, and if Hu Xinzhu takes a fancy to the land here, he must negotiate with their original owners
The appraiser had already reported the value of half of the cargo unloaded from the Blood Dragon Ship, and the goods that came up, the top white porcelain, the top tea, the top silk, the top spices, these goods were huge in quantity and extremely valuable, because of the title of 'royal tribute', these goods were bound to set off an unprecedented frenzy of pursuit in the Western Continent
Lin Qi spent a total of 500,000 taels of gold on the purchase of these goods in the Blood Qin Empire, according to the weight of a gold coin of six grams to ten grams, the total cost of this batch of goods is about three million gold coins, and the goods from the Eastern Continent are basically twenty times more profitable than those brought by the Western Continent, but the quality of those goods cannot be compared with the goods brought by Lin Qi at all
According to the calculation of at least 100 times the profit, this half of the goods is worth more than 300 million gold coins
300 million gold coins, according to the tax revenue of the countries on the mainland in recent years, is almost equivalent to the sum of all the official annual revenues of the three countries of the Gaul Empire, the Caesar Empire, and the Harran Empire, and then multiplied by two, there is no doubt that this is a huge astronomical amount
According to what I know, it only costs one million gold coins to buy a duke's title in the Vyas Commercial Federation, Hu Xinzhu raised his head lazily and glanced at Zeppelin with a smile, the two rows of white teeth reflected a dazzling cold light under the lamplight, which reminded Zeppelin of some bloodthirsty magical beasts
Coughing lightly, Zeppelin said gently: "Honorable Mr. Steward, that is a fictitious title without a fief
Smiled and walked towards Hu Xinzhu, Qi Bailin laughed softly: One million to buy a duke, if it is a hereditary duke, it is two million, the marquis is 700,000 earls, 400,000 viscounts, 200,000 and barons, this kind of worthless title is only 350,000 gold coins, we can provide a full set of certificate services
After a slight pause, Zeppelin said in a deep voice: The important thing is that the respected head of the fief is according to the size of the fief
Hu Xinzhu rolled his eyes and looked at Zeppelin: Of course we need a fief, our Hou Ye has hundreds of thousands of followers, we are going to take root here, we want to reproduce the family lineage here, so we need a fief with enough area
Zeppelin took out a pencil and ruthlessly circled a medium-sized province in the heart of the Vyas Commercial Federation, of course, in Hu Xinzhu's opinion, this province was just the jurisdiction of a county equivalent to the Blood Qin Empire
This Hasen province has a first-class city with a population of more than one million, four second-class cities with a population of more than 300,000 people, nine third-class cities with a population of more than 100,000, and more than 200 villages and towns, with an average width of 350 li from north to south, and 800 li from east to west, with a total population of more than 6 million
Hu Xinzhu interrupted Zeppelin's words without hesitation: This is just what you think, a so-called province of six million people
Shaking his head contemptuously, Hu Xinzhu stared at Qi Pelin and sneered: Do you treat us as fools, at least 300 million gold coins of goods, you use such a rural place where the total annual tax income may only be 1 million gold coins
Zeppelin spread out his hands, and he looked at Hu Xinzhu with great sincerity: Honorable Governor
Hu Xinzhu sneered: Who dares to call me 'chief manager' again, let me connect with some special professions that have lost part of their limbs, I don't mind letting him clearly understand what is called 'chief manager of the inner palace'
Standing up slowly, Hu Xinzhu said in a deep voice: I know that you are businessmen, you pursue profits, but you can't be too greedy, and you are embarrassed to throw us such a barren and sparsely populated poor country
Hu Xinzhu sighed and said: God, punish these greedy and stupid guys, the average population of a province in the Blood Qin Empire is 140 million and 6 million people, which is the level of permanent residents of a provincial capital of just a province
Zeppelin's face turned red, and then his face suddenly became extremely weird, not only Zeppelin, but also all the other consuls and merchants present The faces of the blood Qin Empire have an average of 1.40 million people in a province, God, how many people are there in the entire Gallic Empire, can the Gallic Empire have 300 million people
With an inexplicable reverence and fear, Zeppelin cautiously said: Of course we have a better choice
Hu Xinzhu glanced at Zeppelin, and said slowly: Of course, we should have a better choice
His fingers slowly slid towards the northernmost province of the Vias Commercial Federation, which was being invaded by the Caesar Empire and had been defeated by the Dragonwing Legion, which was one of the largest in the Vias Commercial Federation, and was rich in all kinds of metal ores and gemstones, rich in golden sands, and at the same time the most important timber supplier of the Vias Commercial Federation.
Don't think that we don't know anything when we first arrive, Hu Xinzhu clasped his hands to his chest and said indifferently: The original owner of this province, the Luminite family, has been wiped out by the Dragon Wing Legion, that is to say, except for some small families in some places, this province has no owner
Hu Xinzhu said in a deep voice: In exchange for the goods of 300 million gold coins, our Marquis has the permanent ownership of the Green Forest Province, of course, the title of Duke of Green Forest must be added, the hereditary duke, and the Duke of Green Forest is qualified to enter the ruling government as a special representative
Zeppelin and the consuls behind him glanced at each other quickly, and before they could speak, Hu Xinzhu had already put forward a condition that they couldn't refuse: In addition to these 300 million gold coins, every three years, we will provide a True Pill to the families to which the consuls of the supreme ruling government belong
The faces of Zeppelin and the others had turned crimson, and they looked at Hu Xinzhu almost madly
The Chlorite family has been wiped out, and the province of the Green Forest has become a borderland, according to the tradition of the Vyas Commercial Federation, this province of 20 million permanent residents could be auctioned off at any time, and Hu Xinzhu's bid has completely exceeded their psychological price
Of course, the Dragon Wing Legion must be eliminated, Hu Xinzhu said solemnly: Not to drive away, but to eliminate the honorable gentlemen, the army of the Hou Ye will go to war, but the Vias Commercial Federation must send no less than 200,000 troops to assist in the battle
Zeppelin enthusiastically stretched out his hand: then we don't need to go through the council and we can tell you a deal
Hu Xinzhu smiled and nodded, and then he casually pointed at the map as if he didn't care
Since such a large province has been sold, then the southernmost dozen or so islands are the first to take the lead
The smiles of Zeppelin and others suddenly froze (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come to Biquge www.biquge.info (qidian) to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation)
