Erlong Del's face suddenly became reddish after boiling, and he felt embarrassed about it! "Actually, your Majesty asked me to come to Lord Lorraine to buy land."
Lorraine and Catherine looked at each other in surprise. When Lorraine handed the letter back to Ruman City, he thought that Emperor Julende might bring something to Lorraine and take care of Emperor Julende himself. Close brother.
But for Emperor Julende, this was also a small matter of writing a note or writing a letter to Lorraine.
Emperor Julunde is in charge of the entire empire, and the whole world is the same as in the Ruman Empire. Ruman’s imperial power is highly concentrated, and the governor decides the place. The appointment and removal of the governor are all controlled by the emperor. Hands. With a piece of order, Lorraine, an upstart who has no foundation in the Ruman Empire, can become the governor without any dispute, and he dares not follow the emperor's fate.
In the central city of Ruman, the chief and deputy chiefs of all departments are the emperor alone.
Whoever the emperor trusts can dominate the city of Ruman. No one dares to dominate the city. If the emperor distrusts anyone, even if he was the object of everyone's flattery yesterday, no one would pay attention to him again overnight.
This is especially true in the army. The commanders of various regions and all the commanders of the corps directly obey the emperor himself, except for the emperor himself and the district officers appointed by him, like the governor of Lorraine and the war zone like Marleyton. The commander, or a vassal like Julian Grand Duke, and no one else can mobilize any army.
Russell was a commoner, although he was a cardinal. But as far as his own strength is concerned, he is far from those noble families. Even the strength of Grand Duke Julian is above Russell. However, in the struggle with the nobles of the Ruman Empire, Russell was He has always had the upper hand because he has the support of Emperor Julende.
Although the old guys in the Heraldry House have a restrictive effect on imperial power, they actually only have procedural power, and they can easily be divided and drawn. They can still be consistent on some major issues concerning the future of the empire. , But usually, it’s a miracle that they sit together and don’t fight.
Lorraine said that the place in the Ruman Empire is not the emperor's final say. If he approves land for himself, he still needs Emperor Rulunde to speak himself?
Even though the stall Lorraine had set up here seemed to be quite big, but for Emperor Rulunde, it would be really inaccessible.
If Emperor Julunde wanted to take care of that subordinate, it would be enough for them to fill up by simply leaking a bit between his fingers, and he would not be corrupt or bribe.
Besides, the emperor wants someone to purchase something from abroad, and the oil and water are enough.
But beyond Lorraine's expectation, Emperor Julende sent the deputy chief of the palace.
Lorraine wondered in his heart: "If you just want a land, you won't need such a big battle, right? Is there any trickery?"
Catherine was also taken aback, looking at the deputy director of Liandel, and said: "If you are just buying land, you don't need Uncle Liandel to make a trip yourself? Write a letter to Lorraine and do it for you?"
Liander said: "Although this matter is not big, but it is not said by your Majesty personally when it is said that it is small, I think it is better for me to take a trip personally. Moreover, your Majesty also specifically explained it, I hope this matter can be done as much as possible. Don’t say anything, I don’t worry about giving it to other people. If the wind leaks, it’s not a good thing, so I can only do it myself.
Lorraine wondered, why did Emperor Julende have to confess without saying anything?
Catherine frowned as if thinking of something, and gave a soft "hum".
Liandel looked at Catherine's appearance, his expression became a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and said: "Of course your majesty doesn't need these things, these things are bought by your majesty for people around you."
Lorraine felt even more weird. The people next to Emperor Julende were not the deputy chief executive? If these people want to buy it, let alone say hello to Grand Duke Julian, it is easy.
Seeing Lorraine's puzzled look, Catherine sneered and said, "It's not for this lady or that lady."
Leander was choked and coughed twice. He was a forty or fifty person, and he lowered his head to not look at Catherine and Lorraine.
Lorraine let out an "Oh", with a clear heart. It turned out that the emperor was prepared for his mistresses. No wonder it was the deputy chief of the court who came here and looked cautious. This kind of thing is really unspeakable.
Liandel said: "In fact, it was only Mrs. Lucrezia who wanted to buy some properties for her family at first. I mentioned to your Majesty that I wanted to use your Majesty to say hello to Lord Lorraine."
Catherine was stunned for a moment, showing a clear look, and said lowly: "So it's her."
Liandel smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty thinks it's not bad to do this, so I just want to prepare a little bit more, wait for the future, you know, you can leave something."
Lorraine nodded secretly, thinking about the Wumeng sister who was forcibly pushed into the nun's nunnery after Taizong's death, he understood in his heart and said carefully: The emperor had a long-term view.
The emperor is not young anymore, but his mistresses are all young. In this feudal era where the average life expectancy is fifty years old, when the emperor is no longer good, no one will support his mistresses. It is undoubtedly a good way to leave them a lot of business in a place far away from political disputes.
Although this kind of thing cannot be said to be a scandal, if it spreads out, it will still be a joke after all. Other nobles, officials, etc., can buy properties for their mistresses and mistresses, and they can use their own name. Luo Lin Ke dare not say that these people who blocked the door and begged for land were not for their mistresses, but His Majesty the Emperor couldn't.
Lorraine was amused secretly, and said in secret: Our emperor also has a good face.
In fact, everyone who knows this emperor Julund knows. This majesty is indeed a good face. I have a good leadership in the political achievements, and if you make a mistake, it is because of your ineffectiveness.
Catherine curled her lips and said, "Well, Uncle Leander, this is not a big deal.
Give it to Lorraine and we will do it for you. "
Liandel bowed slightly and said, "That's really thankful to your Highness, I'm troubled Master Lorraine."
Lorraine smiled and said: "This is just a matter of effort, not a trouble, Master Liander, how much land does your Majesty want?"
Liander said: "Three," 300,000 mu. "Liander knows how huge this one and two ranks are. In the Ruman Empire, in the past, the God Seal Throne used to have aristocrats who had a big son and a slavish name, but in the end they had no good end to the current empire. There is no one that owns more than 100,000 mu of land.
Of course, the total land of several big families in the empire is definitely more than 100,000 mu, and even more than 300,000 mu, but they all understand the truth of the big tree attracting wind, and they chose to divide the family wisely.
After finishing talking, Leander looked at Lorraine and Catherine nervously. This was the task given to him by the emperor. Of course, there should be no mistakes. These lands were bought for the emperor’s mistress. Catherine was very disgusted with this. , It is difficult to say whether you will agree to yourself.
Lorraine and Catherine looked at each other, then Catherine rolled her eyes and leaned against the sand, which meant "I don't care."
Lorraine pondered for a moment: "Master Liander, since we are our own, I will tell you the truth. It is indeed a little difficult for us to cost 300,000 mu at a time."
Catherine glanced at Lorraine in surprise, but her expression returned to her normal expression instantly.
Liander showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Is it difficult?"
Lorraine shook his head and said, "Let’s put it this way, it’s easy to say that it’s simple, just the land that has been surveyed and recorded so far is 170 million mu, 300,000 mu is really nothing, just find a place. Draw a small circle is enough.
But this is the land that your majesty wants. It is Catherine's uncle, and I bother you to come all the way from Ruman City. No matter what, I can't ignore this.
If you really let you be like those outside people who come to ask for land, go to the landmark by yourself with the certificate, let alone whether your majesty will say I have no wink, even Nicole can't spare me. "
Katherine's pointy leather shoes kicked Lorraine's calf and said, "What nonsense?"
Lorraine shook Cather's hand and smiled at Liandel: "Manager Liandel, you have come with a mission, so I have to deal with this matter beautifully, so that your Majesty is satisfied. Although the grassland in the south is However, there are not many places with good conditions. Especially those that are not too far away from the city. In this way, the most suitable place is only a few hundred thousand mu."
Catherine nodded and said; "Since it's my uncle who wants it, and you are here, Uncle Leander, we naturally can't charge up the inferior land."
Leander breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded, and said, "Your Highness, Your Excellency, you have bothered."
Lorraine waved his hand and said: "Yes, but Chief Liandre, you are still a bit late. In the previous war, the Grand Duke Julian and the Eastern provinces were mostly officials, helping us Nian a lot, even Said that without the assistance of the Grand Duke, we would probably not be able to weather this difficult time."
Liandel smiled bitterly, and secretly said: What should be here is here, let me just say, Russell is like that, it is impossible for Catherine and Lorraine to have no temper at all.
Liandel hurriedly said: "During the war, Your Majesty has been paying attention to the battle report you sent every day. However, Your Highness, Your Excellency, you also know that Russell is really nothing. He only pays attention to his own one-third of an acre. You also know the virtues of those people in Ruman City."
Catherine snorted unpleasantly, Lorraine patted Catherine's hand and waved his hand to Liandel: "It's nothing, after all, it's over to the Throne of God Seal."
Liandel shook his head and said, "Your Highness, your lord, now in Ruman City, everyone is not satisfied with Russell, but what can be done?
My duty is only in the palace, I can't talk about these things, otherwise I would have dragged Russell to comment before Your Majesty.
Lord Lorraine, you fought so hard in Nian'an, and the enemy and our noses are very different. Even your Royal Highness and Highness Leo risked their lives. You still won a brilliant victory.
Russell has been tossing in the north for so many years, and he has almost defeated the empire, and has not been able to conquer the barbarians. But he was actually embarrassed to say before His Majesty that Lord Lorraine’s merits should not be rewarded. Isn’t this a villain’s behavior? Many people in Ruman City are disgusted with his role as Ruman City, and there are still people who have been arguing for Lord Lorraine. "
Liandel kept talking about this, and finally blushed, not sure if he was angry.
"Oh, yes," Catherine narrowed her eyes and said with a cold voice on her pretty face: "Russell is really getting worse and worse."
Lorraine could clearly follow Catherine's strength to grasp her own hand more and more, and lowered her head to see that Catherine's slender Bai Zhe's small hands were jumping up.
Lorraine stretched out his hand to embrace Catherine's shoulders, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, as long as the benefits fall in our hands, all other false names and so on are all clouds."
Catherine patted Lorraine's hand, snorted, and said, "Your heart is so wide."
Liandel said: "Your Majesty also specifically asked me to tell Lord Lorraine that no one can rob you of your credit. Your Majesty did this, and it was your Majesty's painstaking efforts." Lorraine nodded and said: "I I know, okay, let’s not talk about this, Director Liandel. Since your Majesty wants 300,000 mu of land, I will naturally prepare with all my strength, but most of the best land has been given to related households some time ago. Give me a few In a few days, I will think of a way to satisfy your Majesty."
Leander only bent over and said sincerely: "Trouble your Highness and Lord Lorraine."
Lorraine said: "Manager Liander, if you are polite with us, I will be angry."
Liandel patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, then I will treat it as a vacation. In fact, this time I come here to see how the life of Her Majesty the Princess and Grandpa Leo are in Nyan. See you better I was much more happy when I was in Ru Mancheng, and now it seems that Her Royal Highness must be very happy."
In fact, Emperor Rulunde did not tell Liandel this way. Emperor Rulunde said to Liandel at the time: This boy Lorraine looks old and sharp, but he is actually very troubled. Look at him. Girls who ran away from a few houses, you have to go to Nyan, take a closer look. If Nicole was bullied by that there, I would transfer him back and put him inside the guard.
Catherine hugged Lorraine's arm, smiled triumphantly, and said, "Just so-so, it's this big and small that caused me trouble all day long, especially Leo, I didn't know that I was going crazy there again."
Liandel said: The heroic deeds of the little father-in-law have been spread all over the city of Ruman. Now when speaking of His Royal Highness Leo, I praise that His Royal Highness must be a holy king in our empire hundreds of years in the future. Don't say anything else, even the palace. Many things inside are pasted with the logo of His Royal Highness Leo’s Flying Eagle Company
Catherine smiled implicitly: "Don't tell Leo this, let him know what he is going to be proud of. He is very skinny now, I can hardly control it anymore.
Lorraine pulled Catherine to stand up and said, "Manager Liandel, you have come to work far away, now I’m going to rest here, and when I’m fine, I’ll walk around in Nedel City. There are many new things here, your Majesty explained. I’ll take care of this matter now."
Leander was sent away, Lorraine took Catherine and asked, "Who is this Lady Lucretia?"
Catherine gave Lorraine angrily and said, "Why, do you care?"
Lorraine hurriedly shook his head and said: "There, it's just a question. Just saying a word can make your Majesty take it so hard, but it's not easy
Catherine snorted and said, "A very feminine woman. I said to you, women who care about other people should take care of the things in front of you first. We clearly have a lot of good land in our hands. How can you? Say no to Uncle Leander."
Lorraine spread his hands and said: "The promise is too simple. From your uncle's point of view, doesn't it appear that we are not sincere. If your uncle knows that I have worked so hard to persuade others, and I have to pay for it with my own money. He got it together, do you think he would thank me very much."
Catherine widened her eyes and looked at Lorraine. She laughed out loud. She punched Lorraine with a fist and said, "Slick! But, my uncle seems to be begging for this.
Lorraine happily said, "Moreover. I still have a concern. This time it’s Liander, the land that Your Majesty wants. We gave it to you with ease. In the eyes of those who are interested, I know this. Not a temptation
Catherine understood Lorraine's meaning after a little thought, and nodded.
Lorraine said: "This time your majesty's mistress, the next time it may be your majesty's cheap brother-in-law, and the next time it might be the mistress of those brother-in-laws.
You know the greed of those people, your majesty will restrain his women, but his women will not necessarily restrain their brothers.
The land in our hands, apart from what we keep, may not be enough for your dad. Who knows if there will be anything to say hello in the future, so be prepared.
Catherine raised her eyebrows and said sharply, "They dare!"
Lorraine said, "Why don't they dare, even if you and I were here, they didn't dare, but this piece of land is our own achievement. I don't want to wait for me to leave, because the land changes Itchy smoke
Catherine sighed, and then said thoughtfully: "This matter seems to be well regulated, and only let Uncle Leander stay with us for a few more days.
This morning, when the sun just rose from the horizon, there was still a trace of chill in the air.
Located in the outer harbour of Nydal City, the watchmen on the tall watchtower had already rang the bronze bell on the tower.
Through bell signals of varying lengths, it was announced to the port that the "Lucky Gold." three-masted sailboat under the Flying Eagle Shipping Company had arrived.
Flying Eagle now has nearly a hundred large merchant ships under its umbrella. At the same time, there are still new ships under construction in Nian's shipyard.
Those ships also kept running back and forth in the Madidorme Sea, and dumped their commodity gems "gold, ivory," through the golden waters connected to the countries in the middle of the continent.
It is said that if you spend a starting price, you can even buy handicrafts crafted by mysterious elves living in the southern jungles of Nyan.
The main product of Flying Eagle is their salt.
Because the salt is of high quality and low price, and the manufacturing cost is extremely low, coupled with the large-scale production of Lorraine. This kind of thing has caused a fatal blow to the salt manufacturing system of the countries along the Madidorm Sea. Even if there are some that are still struggling to maintain, they are still operating dismal.
Table salt, a commodity related to people's livelihood only under grain, can now be said to be completely in the hands of Flying Eagle Company.
In the past, if the Ruman Empire wanted to play gangsters with someone, it had to send an army, and the empire’s double bonus red sticks would take it out to fight in groups.
Very yellow and violent
Moreover, things like war have always been fierce.
No one can guarantee that he will be victorious.
In other words, even if it is an old imperialist power like Ruman, once a war is started, it must risk being defeated by accompany smiling faces and telling people good things. If you cede land and make indemnities, you can no longer take the princess and make a relationship with others.
But now this matter is much easier.
If anyone makes Lord Lorraine unhappy, as long as his old man orders a "salt trade embargo. Then the other party will not get a grain of salt in three months. Although those who have salt are generally " Haisha Gang, a second-rate role in this type of arena. But it is undeniable that they are all rich and oily.
And the value of that salt is like the oil in the world today.
What's more, Lorraine has unique technical advantages in his hands.
The consumption of table salt, a product related to people's livelihood, is extremely huge. As long as individuals have to eat, eat salt. Even if you are an emperor and noble, you don't eat food or meat, but you have to be accompanied by salt, otherwise you can't stand it.
And Lorraine's salt-making technology was completely copied from the extremely mature methods of later generations. That method has been strictly inspected by large-scale industrial production, completely out of this era.
Therefore, when the seemingly inconspicuous thing like table salt reaches the hands of Sir Alex of Lorraine, it is equivalent to Cai Hua Baodian having reached the invincible hands of the East. Isn't that the kitchen knife in hand, I have it in the world?
In this way, there is no need to send a single soldier. You can clean them up.
And their government officials also had to face a large group of ordinary people who became extremely angry because there was no salt to eat.
It is not impossible to even cause their relatives to step down.
If the other party no longer knows practical things, it is not that after washing for nothing, lying on the bed obediently, letting Lord Luo be ravaged, but continue to struggle and resist indifferently.
Then Lord Lorraine will be supplemented by other means.
It is like setting up trade barriers and raising trade tariffs. The large-scale purchase of gold has caused the gold market price to fluctuate wildly in the short term. Using the fleet in hand to carry out large-scale grain smuggling, the other side's grain-bearer Jia said dumping on a certain local specialty of theirs, and hit the economic foundation of Hezhou's hearts.
If just such a few sets of combined punches go on, it can completely defeat them directly from the economic level!
And the leaders of those countries are not wise men without foresight. When the Flying Eagle Company carried out their salt dumping strategy, they fought hard. It is a policy blockade, tax rate increase, and pirated copying secretly.
But the Secret Intelligence Department under the Flying Eagle Company, Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian either.
The Central Intelligence Agency under Jin Yiwei, Uranium, is dedicated to the first two tasks. And in their implementation manual. There are also a series of countermeasures against various adverse situations.
As long as they speak loudly and dare to be unfavorable to the Feiying Salt Industry, they must first buy, and if they fail to buy, then they will be framing. If the framing is not successful, then bribe his boss, to his wife, mistress, son, and daughter." This series of golden rods will be hit, and the custody will be dizzy.
If these can't be done, then he is the most noble saint in the world. According to the Holy See, such saints must go to heaven.
The four agents would never mind helping them. I believe those saints who can go to heaven one day earlier will be very happy about this.
And those who secretly spied on their production technology from the salt plant of Feiying Salt Industry, and secretly copied and pirated it elsewhere, and wanted to take advantage of it, and there would be no good results.
Because there is another organization under Jinyiwei that is responsible for this work. The FBI. Those rascals are more vicious.
As long as it is for them who dare to steal the patented technology of Flying Eagle Company, those patented technologies protected by the sacred and inviolable laws of the Ruman Empire, they will be ruthlessly dealt with.
They don't care about the issue of jurisdiction, as long as Ruman's law is violated, even if you are hiding on the island of the dead, you will be caught. Then, in accordance with the
Provisional Regulations on Promoting World Economic Prosperity and Protecting Patented Technology
recently promulgated by the Governor of Rumannayan Province, Count Lorraine, you will be locked up in the dungeon for one hundred and fifty years, and then you will be asked for a lawyer and go to court. .
And those salt fields will also burst into fire and explode in a certain natural disaster, completely destroying
"Lucky Gold. This time, the sailboat sailed out of the port in the Eastern Province and returned to Ned's City.
The boat was filled with food, cloth, and large livestock urgently needed by the Naian people.
Although Naian is an agricultural province, the focus of its policy has always been on the military. Coupled with the fact that the south is now wide open, this has created a shortage of labor. According to the imperial decree, slaves were not allowed. Therefore, those big animals who eat grass and squeeze milk, and never ask for wages, do not cry hard, and do not cry hard, have become people's favorites.
In addition, there are a large number of passengers on board.
Carlos is one of them.
He was not rich in his family, just an ordinary farmer. All the land in the family is rented from the landlord.
Later in the service period, he served as a soldier for a few years under the Grand Duke of Constantinople Julian, and made a lot of credit on the battlefield.
Later, when I retired, I was tired of the life and chose to retire now.
At this time, I received a new reward decree issued by the Grand Duke Julian. I heard that there was land for sale here, but I didn't think much now. When choosing a generous retirement fund or choosing a piece of land, I immediately chose the latter, and then took the documents, boarded the Shanghai boat, and came here to try my luck.
earth
Carlos couldn't help feeling agitated at the thought of this word.
As the son of a farmer, he still remembers the experience of working for the landlord’s family, and has always dreamed of owning a piece of land.
He still remembered what his father said all the time, Jiandi is always a person's soul. Without land, there is no soul.
Now, he is about to own a piece of land of his own!
Carlos stood on the bow, carefully looking at the real harbor city in front of him. Because they arrived early, there hasn't been any congestion in the waterways entering the port, like the peculiar congestion when they arrive at the peak of transportation at noon.
The "Lucky nose gold" only waited for a while outside the port, and under the leadership of the pilot, it sailed into the port.
They happened to pass by another ship just about to leave the port.
Carlos also had a face-to-face face-to-face with an ordinary dressed person on the opposite ship at close range. Although the person on the opposite side is dressed in ordinary clothes, Carroll is sensitive to a soldier, and can immediately detect something wrong with the other person.
The man kept touching his chest, and a discerning person knew at a glance that he had hidden something important in his body.
But he didn't care, and looked away from the other's alert gaze. Just faintly curious about that person's identity, but immediately forgot the other person.
He didn't know that the man was actually the secret envoy sent to the Holy See by the bishop of Fodor. Hidden in his body is Faldo carefully collected. Black material about Silmelia and a joint document written by several district bishops calling for her removal.
After the ship left the port. Raise the sails quickly, and then with the help of the wind. Disappeared quickly on the horizon.
On the other side,
Lucky Gold.
also slowly docked on the trestle bridge of the port.
The sailors worked together to put the springboard of the boat on the land, and then cheered together. Although they are sailing on the sea, their roots are still on land. Of course, they are very close when they see land.
Carlos carried his luggage and was caught in the flow of people disembarking, slowly stepping off the springboard.
Because of the many days of sailing at sea, when he stepped on the solid ground again, he felt a little floating under his feet and couldn't help staggering two steps.
A sailor next to him watched, hurriedly reached out to hold him, and smiled: "You seem to rarely take a boat. Is your feet empty? This is normal. I get used to bumps on the sea and the net hits the ground. It's all like this. Our boat runners call this a halo dock. Just take a few more steps and it will be fine.
Carlos looked at the man in surprise, then thanked him, then let go of his hand. Then he asked the person, "Excuse me, how can Flying Eagle Company go?"
The sailor froze for a moment, then looked Carlos up and down, and said, "You must have bought the land?"
Carlos nodded.
Smiled in the second act! Congratulations to you, Dessin University is just in front of the Governor's Mansion. You just need to inquire.
However, if you are here for the first time. Let me remind you that you need to go to the headquarters of Flying Eagle to go through the formalities. Ha, there happens to be a public carriage over there. You can get on the carriage and go directly to the door. "
He said, standing beside the road, raising his hat high.
"Public" carriage" Carlos couldn't help but froze for a moment. Turning his head, he saw a long, wide, six-horse horse-drawn carriage, and he couldn't help but say, "That, that is," that What is it?.
The sailor proudly introduced him: "This is one of our local characteristics, the public carriage. It has a fixed route. As long as five copper plates, you can sit on this and you will reach your destination soon."
At this time, the carriage had driven over and stopped beside them.
The sailor opened the door of the car and shouted to the coachman: "Hey, friend. This is from the Governor's Mansion. He is from the Internet. You must take good care of him. When you arrive, tell him
The groom graciously agreed and said, "No problem, come up."
Carlos couldn't help but moved. Wang began to think that he was encountering some kind of fraud gang, but saw that there were already many people sitting in the carriage, including men, women and children, including two soldiers in uniforms. Coupled with the fact that there are still several identical carriages running back and forth across the port, this immediately dispelled any concerns.
He took his luggage, climbed into the car, then hesitated, and said to the sailor, "How much should I tip you?"
The sailor froze for a moment, then opened his mouth and laughed silently. And everyone on the carriage also looked at him with a smile.
The sailor smiled and said, "Sir, there is no need to pay. This is just a matter of effort.
As he said, he raised his hat, lifted it up slightly, saluted, and then walked away.
Carlos couldn't help but stunned, and sat on the bench of the carriage in a somewhat awkward manner.
At this time, the carriage moved slowly.
Carlos looked out of the wide car window and found out that the carriage was actually inlaid with glass that was only found in the homes of wealthy and nobles, which was another surprise. To be sure, he also reached out and touched it.
It was finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with glass.
Carlos couldn't help being more and more surprised. This carriage can be inlaid with glass?
He wanted to ask someone to ask, but seeing the smiling eyes of the people beside him, he closed his mouth with interest. He didn't want people to think of himself as a hillbilly.
Carlos looked out through the car window. I saw an unusually lively crowd on the street. There are various kinds of goods in the shops on the roadside, and there are vendors carrying various things on the street to sell them.
Everyone has a smile on their faces. It was a smile from the inside out, full of hope for tomorrow, and with enough confidence to get, it was extraordinarily cheerful.
Carlos watched. He couldn't help but feel more cheerful.
The carriage traveled a little longer, during which people got off and on again.
Every time he stopped the car, Carlos felt nervous to see if he had arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
After a while. The carriage stopped again. The coachman shouted loudly to the car: "The guest who got in the car at the harbour got off here. The Governor's Mansion is in front. No one can park there."
Carlos hurriedly agreed, then jumped out of the car with his luggage.
The coachman looked at him, and then said, "Go over to the Throne of the God Seal a little bit ahead. You have to walk over to the Throne of God Seal."
Carlos thanked him and turned to leave. At this time, the coachman immediately changed his face and shouted angrily: "Come back. You haven't paid the car yet."
Everyone in the car couldn't help laughing.
Carlos was embarrassed now. He hurriedly took out a few copper plates and handed it over to the God Seal Throne, and then ran away quickly.
After he ran away, he secretly turned his head and took a look, and found that the carriage had already left. Then he let go of his heart and walked to the gate not far away to the Throne of God Seal with his luggage.
He came to the door and explained his intention to the guard. Then, following the instructions of the other party, he bypassed the main entrance of the Governor's Mansion and entered through a side entrance. When I came to a tall building, I saw the sign of Flying Eagle Company hanging in front of the door, and I knew I had come to the right place.
He came into the building, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge reminder board on the opposite side, which marked various procedures in writing.
Carlos took a look, then followed the instructions above. After passing through a corridor, I saw a long line in front.
At the moment, he is also behind the crowd.
After a while, he entered the room and, at the request of the clerk, took out the approval note from Archduke Julian hidden in his chest. Passed the throne of God Seal.
The clerk looked at the approval note and was taken aback. Then under Carlos's uneasy gaze, he stood up blankly and said, "Please follow me.
With that said, taking him, he came out of the office again, followed the stairs, and climbed to the top floor. The clerk stood still in front of a large door~EbookFREE.me~ knocked on the door and walked in.
Carlos didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed in.
When he entered the office, he found that the office was extremely luxuriously decorated, and even the floor was covered with thick wool carpets. And all around there are all kinds of models, there are ships, cavalry, fortresses, etc., etc., as if you are in a kingdom of toys.
At this time, the clerk walked behind the large desk and talked in a low voice with a person sitting there. While speaking, he handed the approval note to the Shenyin Throne.
Carlos only noticed a long, fat mountain boy sitting behind the desk. And on the boy's large and luxurious desk, there was still a book thrown away, obviously the little boy had just dropped it.
Carlos took a peek, and now the title of the book is "International Finance and Management".
At this moment, I heard the little boy roar in anger: "That damned old man. He didn't give the money, just approved the notes. Isn't this grabbed from my pocket?"
Carlos couldn't help but stunned.
