Chapter 241 Where is the restroom?
"Are there really savages outside the Endless Great Wall?" Haisjia asked. "What do savages look like?"
"This is what is recorded in the book - the savages and orcs were driven north of the Great Wall by humans and into the Endless Forest. I went to the Endless Forest once and did not see the savages, but I saw something even more strange... 30,000
Five thousand silver coins." As they spoke, Peake and Hessgar turned to Baron Hedwig and quoted another price. Then he turned to Hessijah again, "Don't worry about them, you guess I saw more.
What’s strange?”
"What's more strange? Tell me quickly, is it an orc? Does an orc have the head of a beast and the body of a human? Can it also speak human language?"
"Uh... I didn't see the orcs either. What I saw was a forest wolf that was more powerful than the orcs... 41,000 silver coins!" Pique said and then turned around and quoted a price.
At the other end of the long table, Dosol held the knife in his hand tightly, and a drop of sweat slipped from his forehead. The little Duke whispered next to him: "Mr. Dosol, more than four
There will be no profit after ten thousand silver coins." The half-cooked rabbit meat slipped from his knife and fell on the plate.
The jeweler Jia Ang was sucking the marrow from a dog bone across from him. He put the bone down and licked his fingers. "Mr. Dosol, if you don't have enough funds, I am willing to help you share some of the pressure. Ten thousand and twenty thousand silver coins."
I, Jia Ang, can still get it!" He was eating meat in his mouth, his words were slurred, and his eyes often glanced at the noble lady beside him.
"No need," Dosol rejected the jeweler's kindness, took a deep look at Peake who was telling Heskar about the forest world, and then turned to Baron Hedwig and said: "Forty-five thousand silver coins, this is my last
"My lord, Baron, if there are still people who continue to bid, I have to give up." He spoke slowly, as if he was specifically emphasizing the last two sentences for everyone present.
Sure enough, these words had an obvious effect. Piqué and Hesjia laughed at the same time, laughing so hard that they didn't raise the price any more.
"Yes! Forty-five thousand silver coins are enough to show Mr. Dosol's sincerity." Baron Hedgwe raised the cup in his hand, "I wish Mr. Dosol's carpentry career will become more and more prosperous."
"Wolf King? Did you save the Wolf King?" Hesijia's eyes widened. The cherries she had just eaten were stuffed between her teeth, dyeing her two little tiger teeth a lovely pink color.
"Then how did you come back alive?" Listening to the story, her appetite increased, and she picked up another bright purple plum.
Peake didn't want to lie to Heskel, so he told her the truth directly. "The Wolf King turned into my human friend, oh no! To be precise, the Wolf King can turn into my human friend, which is what I just started talking to you about."
The hunter Orr I mentioned, do you remember him? He was the green-eyed guy I told you about at the beginning. He didn't like to talk at first, but he became chatty after he became my friend."
"Humans changed? This... this is a fairy tale, right?" Hesjia showed an unbelievable look. The plum core in her mouth made a big bump on her face. Peake wanted to reach out and poke her face.
.
"I didn't believe it at first," Pique's eyes seemed to still reveal the surprise at that time. "Guess...30,000 silver coins!" Suddenly, he turned around and quoted a price.
Suddenly, the little Duke stood up from the chair at the other end of the long table. "You..."
Piqué turned his head in confusion, took out the note from his pocket, and shook it twice in mid-air.
"Lord Baron, maybe we should change places to have a good discussion." The little Duke finally couldn't sit still. There are still many industrial management rights to negotiate. If that annoying guy keeps raising prices in the middle, he will have to
The mortgage of the casino is not enough for him to compensate, and he must also get the management rights of Hajiwei territory. This is an order given to him by the family, and it is also a test for him. If he cannot win enough profits for the family at this time, then
There is no need to compete with several other brothers for family inheritance in the future. Moreover, he has given up the hugely profitable jewelry industry and the carpentry industry with stable income. At this time, he must not let others cut the cake in front of him!
"I will definitely give you the price you want!" The little Duke gritted his teeth and looked at Hedwig with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Across the table, the jeweler Jia Ang was grinning from ear to ear. His face looked like a moist swallowing cave. Looking at the performance of the little duke, he sneered. He cursed in his heart, little bastard, now he is starting to know how to beg for mercy. He just picked
Why wasn't his tone like this when it happened? Of course he couldn't say these words. "Little Duke,
"His food-filled cave opened and closed, "I think it is our honor that the Baron called us here. Now you ask the Baron to change places to have a good talk. Then why doesn't the Baron return to Mokan City?
The two territories of Quivilles City are looking for more powerful merchants. After all, they are also two medium-sized cities. There are many merchants richer than me, Jaon. Little Duke, have you ever thought about this?
"
When the jeweler Jia Ang said these two sentences, the young Duke was immediately stunned. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Jia Ang had spent money to contract the management rights of the jewelry industry.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Baron Hedgeway could only come back for a week, and after one week he would have to go back to the Great Wall to report on his duties. At this time, Baron Hedgeway, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly expressed his gratitude to the fat man next to him.
There was a hint of goodwill. Originally, as a nobleman, he would not bother to lie to these businessmen. At this time, Fatty Jia Ang's words really spoke to his heart. With Fatty's assistance, he didn't need to ask for a low price at this time.
The little Duke has bought the management rights. At this time, he just needs to pretend to be stupid silently.
Under the illumination of the light, the young Duke's expression changed more than once. He stood there, pondered for a long time, and finally sat down with an ugly expression. He said this: "Your Excellency, regarding the contract price for the management rights of the textile industry.
I can only give you thirty-five thousand gold coins." This is the truth, and this is also the bottom line.
This sentence is obviously borrowed from the carpenter Dosol, and the meaning is very obvious. If you raise the price, I won't follow you.
"Hahahaha!" A small voice like a silver bell sounded from the end of the long table.
"Dear daughter, have you forgotten your aristocratic manners?" After half a barrel of rum, Baron Acker was already tipsy. "Ask Mr. Peake next to you if he is interested in the textile industry.
"He took another sip of wine gently.
"Your Majesty the Duke, I am a young carpenter. How could I be interested in the textile industry? That is the work of tailors. You can continue. Please forgive my rudeness before." Before Hesijia could ask, Zhu Tian answered directly.
The conversation has passed.
Rude? How can you say it is rude? If you must say it is rude, then please be more rude. Baron Hedwig suddenly felt that he was in a particularly happy mood today. He glanced at his wife,
The meaning in that look seemed to say: "You really invited the God of Wealth here."
"Hurry up and write it down," Baron Hedwig said to the entourage behind him. "Draw up all the documents and let the young Duke Tran Saaz sign it. Hmm... What other properties do we have to discuss next?"
Near the long table, the baron drank the most, and only his eyes were the most confused. As for the other people, they were shouting tens of thousands of silver coins, and they dared not touch the wine glass with their hands.
"Why did Al take off his pants? Could it be...is there hair on his body too?" Hesijia couldn't picture that image in her mind.
"Yes, he is covered with hair all over his body!" Zhu Tian said without exaggeration, "Have you ever seen an orangutan? The orangutan hanging on the tree in the forest. Apart from his face, Orang has no hair. In other places, he is the same as an orangutan.
There is no difference at all.”
"Huh? There is no difference between him and an orangutan," Haisjia's eyes widened and he swallowed the pulp in his mouth. "He just proved to you that he is the injured wolf king? This is too embarrassing. Isn't it?
Doesn’t the Wolf King know any shame?”
A look of reminiscence appeared on Pique's face, he pondered for a moment, and said: "He should have been wearing underwear at that time... I kind of forgot, anyway, it doesn't matter whether he is wearing underwear or not, it's all hairy! Black hair.
!" Peake told Heskar the long-buried secret in his heart, "Do you know why he came to Peaceful Town?"
"Coming to see you?"
"No! He is here to find his companions." Peake said to Heskar in a low voice with a mysterious face on his face.
"Ah!" Hesijia's thoughts suddenly flew back to the circus, and she remembered the forest wolf in the cage, and that... "That's the person you're talking about, I've seen him in the circus!"
"Haisjia suddenly realized that her voice was too loud, and quickly lowered her voice. The two were now very close, and Pique could smell the fruity aroma coming out of her mouth. "Then I will also tell you a secret. That day I
After returning to the castle, I had a dream... In the dream, I was killed by a forest wolf as big as a house. Do you know who saved me in the end?"
Pique touched his nose and said, "Is it me?"
"No... that's not a dream! I feel like it's real! I..."
"Eighty thousand silver coins!" Pique suddenly interrupted Heskar,
He turned to look at the little Duke.
This was about the right to operate the transportation industry, which was not very important to the little Duke. After Peake called out the price, the little Duke showed a playful smile and sat there silently.
Next to him, Baron Hedgwiakl raised his eyebrows, picked up the cup and winked at the jeweler Ja Ang.
Huh? What does your wink mean? The jeweler Ja Ang put down the mustard-stained sturgeon strips in his hand and swallowed a mouthful of spit. "Please forgive me for interrupting, Your Majesty the Duke," his businessman's mind was spinning rapidly, "
Is this transportation industry also related to our jewelry industry?" Since I don't understand the Baron's gaze, it would be better to ask in a subtle way.
"Of course it is related. The transportation industry is related to almost all industries." Baron Yakker pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Take the simplest jewelry industry as an example. Think about it, Mokan City and Base
Welles City does not produce jewelry out of thin air, so where do your jewelry come from? It doesn’t have to be transported from outside the city into the city to sell. Who will transport it? It doesn’t have to be a transporter. You need to hire wandering warriors in the process.
Or who will pay for the mercenaries? You don’t have to ask the transporter. If you don’t have the right to operate the transport industry, the guards of Mokan City and Quivilles City are eligible to directly seize your jewelry.
, it is normal to directly say that the source of your jewelry is illegal. Not only the jewelry industry, but also the carpentry industry and the knitting industry need to be controlled by the transportation industry. If you do not have the right to operate the transportation industry, the city guards are qualified to seize your wood.
, seize your cloth, seize your goods, do you think the transportation industry is important?"
"Ah? In that case, the management rights of the transportation industry cannot be handed over to others at will." Jeweler Jia Ang frowned as if he was serious, "Then I
I have spent all my money today, 90,000 silver coins, Lord Baron, please hand over the management of the transportation industry to me!"
"Well..." Baron Yakker held the wine glass with a thoughtful look on his face and said, "Ninety thousand silver coins is not impossible... as long as everyone here agrees."
"One hundred thousand silver coins!" On the other side, the little Duke's delicate and thin face had lost all color. He gritted his teeth and shouted out the one hundred thousand silver coins.
As if he was afraid that the young duke would regret it, Baron Hedwig immediately asked his entourage behind him to get the papers and handed them to the young duke.
Uh... As if he realized something, the little Duke looked at the documents in front of him and suddenly frowned. He looked at the jeweler Jia Ang opposite, but the other person's face was full of regret, "Little Duke, you
You got the right to operate the transportation industry, but you want to make it easier for me, but don’t seize my jewelry!"
Secretly, the jeweler Jia Ang slowly covered the smile at the corner of his mouth with the mutton chops in his hand...
The little Duke was about to sign with the quill pen in his hand, but... he suddenly froze there.
its not right!
There was hesitation on the little Duke's face. He thought to himself, that's not right! To put it bluntly, the transportation industry is a bodyguard group composed of a group of wandering warriors and mercenaries. Just recruit some people and you can transform yourself into a transporter. Where is this transporter?
What kind of management rights are needed? Guards seize wood, cloth, and goods? That's what I say, but...who dares to easily touch the interests of wandering warriors and mercenary groups!
The transportation industry is obviously just a decoration!
Even if you take the right to operate the transportation industry, can you still take away the jobs of other wandering warriors and mercenaries who make a living by transporting goods? That is simply asking for death!
He found that when he realized this problem, he was already in a dilemma!
There was absolutely no profit to be gained from signing at this time, but that was not the case if he didn't sign. He had clearly shouted out just now... Unconsciously, he slowly glanced at Baron Hedwig, only to find that the other party was just looking after himself.
Drinking wine...
"Cough!" Unexpectedly, at this time, Pique at the end of the long table coughed.
This idiot is asking for a price again! The little Duke felt that a big stone in his heart was taken away by that cough. So at this time, he looked at Pique expectantly.
Chapter completed!
