Chapter 11: Cocktail Party

At dusk, Menes feasted all the nobles of the Holy Cat City at home.

The form of the banquet was very novel, which overwhelmed a group of old nobles.

Menes made it look like a cocktail party, with a variety of exquisite food and drinks on the long table, everyone can take and use as you like, and there are no tables on the scene, just a small number of chairs for people to rest.

The nobles of Holy Cat City were also in a hurry when they received the news of the banquet, so they had to dress up in a hurry and come to the banquet.

Even so, the ladies still wore heavy makeup, wore curly wigs, painted eyes like pandas, black eyeshadow made people look as if they had been beaten and swollen, and perfume was sprayed before going out, which was the etiquette of the nobles of Kemert.

A group of nobles stood in the hall very unaccustomed to letting the servants move around.

What is this boy going to do?

Lord Andyère only left today, and I guess he hasn't gone far, so I'm going to hold a banquet for everyone to enjoy?

This banquet format is really uncomfortable.

I heard that Menes' temperament has changed greatly after returning from this resurrection, and she doesn't seem to be so irritable, and she still mixes with a group of untouchables all day long, which is really a shame for the nobles.

Lord Andyère also handed over the territory to Menes to take care of, does this not want the family's territory?

In the hands of Menes, it seems that this territory is going to be finished, I don't know who will become the new lord in the future?

Someone is already playing with the idea of Menes' property.

There are also some small nobles who specially brought their daughters to the banquet today, if Menes can take a fancy to their daughters, then they can also follow the locusts Tengda, at least there are a lot of dowries, right?

The young girls waited for Menes to appear, and the mighty and handsome of Menes was also very famous in Kemert, and many girls secretly went to see Menes on weekdays, and some even deliberately looked for opportunities to get close to Menes.

It's just that Menes' reputation is really bad, and it is said that the son of the drunken brother beat Ankotifi II for a prostitute last time, and the family finally lost a lot of money, and the two families also became enemies.

Everyone waited anxiously for Menes to appear, and finally at the sound of a horn, Mernes slowly walked out of the back of the hall in a full robe, gorgeously embroidered with the family crest.

The young girls couldn't help but admire!

Menes smiled slightly, stood in front of the stage and said, "Dear adults, beautiful girls, welcome to this gorgeous hall, you will see the most amazing song and dance performance tonight, I hope you can enjoy the night to the fullest!"

The aristocrats in the audience immediately gave warm applause.

"First of all, let's welcome Menes' mummy to perform for everyone with a round of applause!"

For the sake of the banquet in the evening, Menes specially transferred the mummy of the divine punishment back.

The nobles in the audience let out a long cheer, Menes's divine punishment mummy, these days have spread all over the Holy Cat City, everyone heard that it is very magical, there is indeed no chance to see the face, now have the opportunity to see the divine punishment mummy, of course very happy.

A cheerful and rapid drum beat sounded, and Menes' mummies slowly walked out of the backstage in a line.

The nine mummies, clumsily dancing according to the dance steps taught in the morning, the chaotic dance steps could not step on the drum, the arms swung at will, nodded and bent from time to time, and occasionally jumped, causing the audience to laugh.

The mummies lined up wrapped in white corpse cloth, put their hands on the shoulders of their predecessors, and drove the train together, shuttling through the crowd in the hall step by step, attracting bursts of applause.

The style of painting changed suddenly, the mummies scattered, each grabbed a nobleman, raised it high with his hand, and spun rapidly in the air, the fat nobleman with a big belly was thrown into the air, and when he landed, he was caught by the mummy.

The audience at the scene laughed, the person who was caught spinning could still laugh at first, and began to beg for mercy after a while, who can stand this constant spinning?

Finally, the mummy left a few nobles, walked to the edge of the hall, and picked up a few large wooden baskets on the ground, the wooden frame was very huge, and there were at least two hundred kilograms of stones in it, and the mummy easily held the wooden frame and continued to dance.

The drumbeat of the music became faster and faster, and the mummy quickly shook the wooden basket in his hand, gradually forming a fan-shaped circle of light, and the stones swung in the basket at high speed and collided with each other, making a crackling sound.

The drum beat abruptly stopped, and the mummy lifted the wooden frame high and snapped it back, the stones inside already turning to powder in the vibration.

The audience applauded excitedly and exclaimed, "Oh my God! What a mummy, so cute and strong!"

At the end of the performance, the mummy returned to Menes and stood in a row, staring at the nobles on the scene.

Menes ripped off her fine clothes.

The nobles at the scene were stunned, what is this boy going to do, what is the matter with the clothes here?

Menes, who had stripped her fancy clothes, wore a stinking and dirty short skirt, her upper body naked, and she held the antelope horn spear handed by the servant in her hand.

Menes ignored everyone's eyes and sat down unceremoniously on the lord's seat of Andyèb.

Menes paused with his spear, and the scene immediately fell silent.

Menis said in a tone of voice, "Honorable nobles, thank the gods for the joy they have bestowed upon us!"

"Thank you!" said everyone in unison.

After everyone had finished speaking, Menes waved his hand and continued, "Thank you to the god of Ra, and also to our people, it is our people who have worked hard to bring a good harvest, but our people are starving, our soldiers are in tatters, and our cities are dirty. ”

"You're disgusted to see me today, aren't you? This is the image of our army, this is how our people are living, and you are enjoying the food and the music!" said Menes, pointing around.

"I hold this banquet today to all of you, join hands with me, and work together to make our territory prosperous and powerful, this is also the will of the god of Ra, so the theme of today's banquet is to raise funds, the money raised will be used for the construction of the army and the development of the swamp area, of course, I do not want you to donate for free, I am asking you to buy bonds today, I also pay you enough interest, please buy enthusiastically, contribute to the development of our country!"

"What are bonds? Let's pay for it? Why do we have to do if a bunch of untouchables can't be fed?"

Jett walked to the stage, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and began to talk about the requirements and rules for bond purchases.

The nobles were dumbfounded when they heard Jet's rules, this boy is going to rob it openly? What kind of bonds? A piece of waste paper wants to take our money? What is the difference between this and robbing money?

Menes sneered and continued, "You should have also heard that I am developing the wasteland of the swamp, which is expected to be completed before the flood season, and the entire swamp will be able to reclaim 9,000 har of land, and each aru will be able to produce at least 8 har of grain per year, which means that it can be sold for 80 kits of silver, and the whole area will be able to get 720,000 kits worth of grain next year, but I am short of money now, so I ......"

Menes paused and said, "I'm going to borrow money from you, I have some bonds here that have been made and stamped with the seal of my Holy Cat State territory, each worth 100 gittes of silver, which is 10 deben of gold, for three years, with an annual interest of three cents, which means that I will double it back to you after three years, do you think the conditions are good?"

The nobles standing in the hall were full of doubts, isn't this national debt just a certificate of borrowing money? The name is so good? The three-cent interest seems to be fine, but it is for a period of three years?

Can you still sit in this seat in three years? You Menes don't seem to be that trustworthy, right?
