Hader obediently relayed Han Du's words to the city lord, and in order to prevent the city lord from despising Han Du and others, he also added some information he had heard about the Ming Dynasty, and told him everything. But for Han Du and others,
As for their identities, Harder kept Han Du's instructions in mind and did not reveal the slightest bit. He just said that they were Ming merchants whom Harder met in the old port and stopped by Horumus to see if there was anything they could do.
After understanding that Han Du and others came from the Ming Dynasty in the east, the city lord's attitude towards them was obviously much more polite. Although it was the first time for him to hear about the country of the Ming Dynasty, it did not prevent him from exercising his free imagination.
After all, in ancient legends, the East is a magical land with a mysterious country.
Of course, although the city lord was curious and even had a good impression of Han Du and others, he did not take the initiative to lower the price Han Du paid to buy the manor by even one gold coin. .??.
Friendship is friendship, business is business!
Fortunately, after Han Du happily paid 350,000 gold coins and obtained the title deed to the manor, the city lord still handed Han Du a gold-forged name card with a smile on his face.
The city lord held the golden name card and babbled a lot.
However, Han Du didn't understand a word, so he had to turn his eyes to Hard.
Hader's eyes widened and he stood there with a shocked face. He didn't suddenly come back to his senses until Han Du looked at him.
He hurriedly explained: "Master Hou, this is the city lord's exclusive name card. It is a symbol of the city lord's status."
Han Du glanced at it lightly and did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he asked lightly: "Oh? Is that so? What's the use of it?"
Seeing that Han Du did not value the golden post, Hader suddenly became nervous and quickly explained: "The city lord personally sent the famous post, which means that the city lord recognized the Marquis. If the Hou wants to see the city lord in the future, insist on
With this name card, you can come directly to the City Lord's Mansion. In addition, if there are any big events in the City Lord's Mansion, the Marquis will be invited to participate."
So that’s it, this is a piece of identification! With this thing, he has fallen into the eyes of the city lord? Han Du thought that after all, the city lord is still the overlord of Horumus City. The Ming Dynasty wants to establish a foothold here.
It is indispensable to rely on his strength.
Therefore, he asked Hard what kind of etiquette he should use to respond. Under Hard's guidance, Han Du accepted the gold post with a smile.
Seeing that Han Du took the gold post with local etiquette, the city lord became more and more fond of Han Du. He raised his head and spoke arrogantly.
Harder's face suddenly showed surprise, and he quickly relayed to Han Du: "The Marquis is very lucky. The city lord just said that there will be a banquet the day after tomorrow, and he also invited the Marquis to attend."
After saying that, Hard looked at the golden name card in Han Du's hand with an envious expression on his face.
Han Du flipped the name card over and looked at it a few times. He looked up at Hard and asked with a smile: "You are also a big businessman in this city. Don't you have this thing?"
Hard's face suddenly felt embarrassed when he heard this, and he explained to Han Du with a bit of shame: "Master Hou thinks highly of me. In the past, I was at most a bigger businessman, not the top one at all."
How can those big businessmen get the name card of the Lord of the City? In Horumos, only the top businessmen and envoys from other kingdoms will get the name card of the Lord of the City."
"Is that so?" Han Du smiled in surprise and looked at the name post a few more times.
Originally, when Han Du saw the city lord casually giving this thing to him, Han Du thought that this thing was for everyone, but he didn't expect that even Hade had never gotten it.
Now it seems that this thing still has some weight.
Seeing the smile on Han Du's face, Harder asked tentatively: "Master Marquis, the invitation from the city lord, I wonder if the Marquis will attend the dinner the day after tomorrow?"
Han Du raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao first. He was the prince, and he had to make the decision whether to participate or not.
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and then nodded slightly. In his opinion, since the Ming Dynasty wants to establish a foothold here, it is necessary to know oneself and the enemy to be victorious in every battle, and it is also necessary to understand the city of Horumus. And when the city lord holds a banquet, everyone who comes will definitely come.
They are the top figures in Horumus. Getting to know each other with these people will only benefit Ming Dynasty and not bring any harm.
He immediately said to Hader: "Participate, why don't you participate? Say hello to the Lord of the City on my behalf, and say that I will definitely come to congratulate you at the banquet in the future."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Hader's face was also full of excitement. Because as long as Han Du attends the banquet, he will definitely be brought with him. Even if he becomes familiar with him at the banquet, it will not be a good match for him in the future.
Business has great benefits.
Hader conveyed Han Du's intention accurately, and the city lord happily hugged Han Du and personally sent Han Du and others out of the city lord's mansion.
The scene of Han Du and others being sent out of the city lord's mansion by the city lord himself fell on both sides of the street.
The eyes of some people nearby were instantly shocked.
"Who are these people that can actually let the Lord of the City send them off in person?"
"That is, if he is an ordinary businessman, he may not even be qualified to meet the Lord of the City."
"Is there something special about them?" .??.??
All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the tavern. The expressions of those who had originally had their thoughts on Han Du and the others changed dramatically. Many people even began to have the idea of retreating and no longer provoking Han Du and the others.
After all, no matter how strong these outsiders are and whether they can be easily captured, the city lord's attitude towards these outsiders will make them think twice before taking action. Even if they are lucky enough to capture these outsiders, if they anger the city lord,
For them, the gain outweighs the loss.
Han Du didn't pay attention to those malicious glances and followed Hader away.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Hader stopped and turned around, smiling and said: "Master Marquis, Hader's manor is not far from here. Why don't you ask Master Marquis to take a rest today?"
According to common sense, Hard just bought the manor, and he should at least wait until it is sorted out before inviting Han Du and others. But Hard's original manor was bought, and his servants were naturally also bought.
Others sold them out. He needs to buy new slaves and housekeepers to make his manor fully operational, and hire some mercenaries to protect him and his family. Otherwise, he will live alone in the manor, even with his own
Safety is difficult to guarantee.
The manor is indeed protected by the city lord's palace, but the city lord's palace cannot guard every manor all day long like a nanny. Therefore, each manor owner still needs a certain amount of self-protection.
It is impossible to do this in a short period of time, so Hader invited Han Du and others because he really wanted to thank them, and also wanted to use the power of Han Du and others to protect him.
Han Du saw Harder's little thoughts in his eyes, and not only did he not refuse, but he nodded directly and agreed.
Han Du and his party followed Hader and left, but the topic they left behind quickly heated up at the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
It was simply strange that a group of outsiders could be sent off by the city lord himself. Some people thought they were familiar with the people in the city lord's mansion, so they quickly used all their means to find out the origins of these outsiders.
Soon, these people got some information about Han Du and others. First of all, the largest manor was actually sold? The reputation of this manor is not low at all in Khrumos, because it is all
The largest place in the manor is also the most expensive.
Although the price it was sold for was not the original price of 500,000 gold coins, the price of 350,000 gold coins was enough to make everyone who heard it gasp.
Secondly, it is enough to show how rich the outsiders who bought the manor are! Three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins is probably the only amount of money that the famous big businessmen in the city of Horumos have.
After getting this news, countless people beat their chests and felt regretful. If they had known that these outsiders were so rich, even if they showed that their strength was not weak, they would have been willing to take the risk and try it out, and they would not dare to even try now.
Try it once.
But it's too late to say anything now. These outsiders have attached themselves to the city lord. If they want to take advantage of these people again, they have to take the city lord's attitude into consideration.
Anyway, until the city lord does not clearly express his attitude towards these people, I am afraid that none of them will dare to take any action.
The news that a group of extremely wealthy outsiders came to Khrumos City spread instantly. Why did these people spend 350,000 gold coins to buy the largest manor as soon as they arrived? Why did these people come from the mysterious East?
It's the legendary Sester. Why did these people buy the manor for not 350,000 but 500,000 gold coins? Various information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false is spreading among the residents of the city of Horumos, and even
The more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes, and the more it spreads, the more exaggerated it becomes.
After receiving Hader's invitation, Handu followed him to the manor. But at the same time, Handu also ordered several people to notify the fleet to go to the manor he had just bought.
Now that this territory belongs to him, Handu must of course make the most of it. The best way is not to delay for a moment, order the navy to go to the bay to rest, and start building plank roads to facilitate the docking of warships.
Hard's newly bought manor is just north of the city lord's palace, at the intersection of two streets, not far away. The manor is the same as Hard's original home, it is also made of stone, but the difference is that this manor
It's even more spectacular than Harder's original one.
The original gate of the manor was just an ordinary doorway, but here there is a magnificent door head.
As the host, Hader pushed open the door with his own hands, turned around and lowered his posture to warmly invite Zhu Biao and Han Du in.
