Chapter 913: The Viscount and the Knight
The dimly lit House of Nobles of Vias.
In the ruling government, the aristocratic officials were still picking up the wind for the Marquis of Yueshan, who was now Duke Lvsen from the Eastern Continent. Everyone was talking about what the Duke of Green Forest would do to the invading Dragonwing Legion of Caesar's Empire, and at the same time, they were talking about what kind of compensation the Federation would demand from the Caesar Empire after the Dragonwing Legion was expelled from Vias.
The Chief Elder of the House of Nobles, Van Ente, leaned in front of Lin Qi's god puppet and whispered to Lin Qi about his plans to provide large timber to his family in the future. With the collapse of the original Vyas commercial federation of superpowers, the shipbuilding industry of Vyas has also been greatly impacted.
Duke Van Ente's family was interested in the lucrative business of shipbuilding, and his family had already taken advantage of the chaos to buy several large shipyards. But shipbuilding requires fine timber, and the province of Green Forest is famous for its excellent timber throughout the Western continent.
Lin Qi, who was still watching the excitement in the slums, smiled and discussed various terms with Fan Ente, with goods in his hands and no panic in his heart. In the future, ninety percent of the shipbuilding industry in Vyas will rely on the fine timber produced in the green forest province to live, how could Lin Qi sell these woods cheaply?
For the sake of the Green Forest Province, Lin Qi smashed out the goods with a market price of 300 million gold coins! With Lin Qi's personality of valuing money as his life, if he didn't earn back this investment in a short period of time, then he really couldn't sleep restlessly.
One of the things that makes Linzi better than Graham is that Graham sees gold coins as more important than any qiē in the world, and for Linzi, gold coins are important, but not so important as to replace one qiē compared to his life and many things.
But when life and many things are not threatened, gold coins are the most important deposit in the world for Lin Qi.
While Van Ente and Lin Qi were laughing and talking, an official of the House of Nobles ran over with sweat on his head, leaned over to Van Ente's side and whispered a few words. Van Ente's eyes lit up. He saluted Lin Qi with a smile, said humble, and then quickly followed the official to the noble house next door.
In the middle of the night, someone came to the House of Nobles to buy the title of nobleman. Van Ente would not let go of this opportunity.
Although the negotiation with Lin Qi is important, it is not a substantive business negotiation, and the purchase and sale of the House of Nobles is a real deal. Van Ente was trembling with joy, how he wished for another great client as rich as the Marquis of Yueshan and the Count Turing!
Hu Xinzhu was wearing a silk costume that was not eye-catching, and stood in front of the office building of the noble court with his hands behind his back with a smile, and the two gold coins between his fingers were beating flexibly. It glows with a mesmerizing golden glow under the illumination of the lights.
"One of the things I'm most satisfied with about Vyas is that all official departments are working around the clock!" Hu Xinzhu exclaimed: "But other countries, well, if you want to go through some formalities urgently, you have to wait for those damn nobles and officials to go to work, that's really a terrible thing!"
Van Ente hurried over with a group of old and young nobles and heard Hu Xinzhu's words. Van Entt laughed: "Oh, sir, let all the customers ...... No. To satisfy all the nobles and to provide the best service to all the nobles is the eternal law of our Vias House of Nobles. Excuse me, what kind of title do you need?"
Hu Xinzhu shrugged his shoulders lightly, he counted the amount in his pocket, and showed a weird smile.
"Viscount, this honorable old gentleman, one viscount is enough to satisfy the appetite of a young man like me, who has just left the experience of the family. As you can see, for a young man like me, a title that is too high is not good for my future development!"
The finger shook slightly, and the gold coin between the fingers emitted a charming glow. Hu Xinzhu smiled: "A viscount title with a certain family heritage, I think this is more in line with my age and identity." A viscount who needs a family heirloom house on the best streets of Puerto Vias, a good shop or two or three good shops, and ...... A manor!"
Van Entt smiled, and he looked at Hu Xinzhu's clothes with admiration.
Very low-key costumes. But there is a luxury in the low-key that only the aristocracy can grasp. The handmade clothes and boots, and the space ring on the hand are antique, and they are obviously very old-fashioned. The belt around the waist is very old, looking at the style of the belt, this belt made of monster skin is very heavy, with several inconspicuous defensive patterns engraved on it, and there is a hook to wear a heavy sword.
Such belts were passed down from generation to generation only in the families of the ancient military aristocracy!
Van Ente suddenly had some guesses about Hu Xinzhu's origins -- from a continental power other than the Vyas Federation, born in a military aristocracy, a powerful family inherited by the military, taking advantage of Vyas's internal and external troubles, to lay a foundation within Vyas, carry out some family arrangements, and even very likely to interfere in Vyas's internal affairs and other affairs in the future.
A young man with a special task for the family, then the title he purchased must not be very high, and the viscount is just in line with his status. Well, this is a gentleman from a military aristocratic family, but he pays attention to luxury, and you can see from the slickness of his face that he is not a guy who can develop in the army with peace of mind.
That's why the family sent him to Vias, right? Vyas, a peculiar merchant state, instinctively rejects military aristocrats with distinct styles from entering their territory.
Van Ente glanced at the nobles around him, this is a little fat sheep, he can slaughter it well. Of course, he can't slaughter too much, otherwise once he attracts the hostility of the powerful existence behind him, it will be a disaster.
"I think there's just a title that meets your requirements!" a middle-aged nobleman behind Van Ente stepped forward with a smile, he was Count Herod of the Heraldic Archives Department of the House of Lords of Vyas, in charge of the archives of a nobleman of all sizes, and he had in mind all the information on the titles of nobility that could be sold, and was the 'commercial core figure' of the House of Lords.
Steadily saluting Hu Xinzhu, Heroon smiled and said: "The Baishi family, their family has been inherited for two hundred and seventy years, and because of an unfortunate investment failure twenty years ago, the assets of the entire family were entrusted by the Federation, including their clan names and titles. If you are interested, the title of Viscount Shiraishi, plus their family's house on Silver Bay Street, four shops in the city, and a manor with 10,000 acres of land outside the city, the total price is ......"
Blinking his eyes, Van Entt gritted his teeth and said, "Six million gold coins! Viscount Shiraishi, six million gold coins!"
Can't make the mistake of Earl Longshan, what a good earl title, it was actually sold for just nine million gold coins!
Van Ente would never admit that it was a mistake on his part because he was not familiar with the business procedures of the House of Lords! Since he had already missed it once, Van Ente would not have missed it a second time.
The title of Viscount of White Stone, without six million gold coins, no one would want to take this title from Van Ente.
Hu Xinzhu pursed her lips, and Granda already cried out as if she was dying: "Great goddess of wealth, send disaster to these greedy worms! Six million gold coins? Just the title of a viscount? Don't you think I don't know what to do? I'm Granda, Granda from the money-worshipping family! I'm Granda, a gold-worshipping family! I'm Granda? Gold coins, money-worshipping! How can you deceive my employer like this?"
Van Ente and all the nobles of the House of Lords paused in their hearts at the same time, damn it, the most famous miser in the entire port city of Vias? That damn old miser? God, the strength of the Worship family in the Vias business world is not enough to mention, but the miserliness of their family is something that half of the Federation merchants have heard of!
Wearing coarse cloth clothes to attend the Chamber of Commerce banquet held by the Supreme Archon! Such a thing can only be done by people from the Jin-worshipping family!
Hu Xinzhu looked at Fan Ente with a smile: "It seems that the price you gave me is a little too unreasonable." Perhaps, I should tell the whole Western continent that I have been treated unjustly in the House of Lords of Vias?"
Granda raised his hands and howled hysterically, and two white foams erupted from the corners of his mouth: "O great god of contract, great god of notarization! Lower your wrath and kill these moths who have violated the spirit of Vyas's commerce!
Van Ente's face was dark, the reputation of the Federation, he must not be insulted because of such a thing, otherwise he and his family are finished!
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Van Ente squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "The Baishi family, the old aristocratic title of more than 200 years, 1.5 million gold coins, can no longer be reduced in price! A set of ancestral mansions, a façade, and the manor outside the city are sold together, 1.5 million gold coins!"
Hu Xinzhu smiled, he bowed gracefully to Fan Ente, and then said slowly: "Then, this is the price." I am Bambu Hart, and from now on I am Bambu Hart Viscount Shiraishi. ”
After a pause, Hu Xinzhu pointed to Granda, who was howling hysterically, and said indifferently: "I also need a knight's title to grant the general manager of the Chamber of Commerce I hired, Mr. Granda, Gold Coins, and Mr. Baijin." Hmm, does the House of Lords have knighthoods for sale?"
Granda's eyes flashed with a blazing golden light, and he shouted: "The knight's title, of course, this must be a knight's title, although it is for my own, but it must be a no-cost title, otherwise I refuse to accept this title!"
Van Ente bowed his head in humiliation, he had a feeling that the entire nobility of the House of Lords had been robbed by this damn old miser! If you like this work, () vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
