All the way north along the ice-free Seine River is Dunerker, the only ice-free port in the north of the Gallic Empire. As the third largest port in the empire, it is also the most important trade center for the empire to contact the northern countries of the Western Continent. Dunkerque's population
It is prosperous and commercially developed and is one of the few commercial centers in the empire.
There is a vast black pine forest a few miles south of Dunerker City. The oldest trees in this black pine forest are more than a thousand years old. Because it is said that thieves and robbers often appear in the black pine forest, so few good people who follow the rules dare to
Go deep into the forest.
The terrain in the black pine forest is undulating. Behind a hill overlooking the Seine River, there is a wooden building built with the help of the pine forest. These wooden buildings are simple and wild in shape, and each wooden building is extremely wide and tall.
There is a closed walkway connected to the wooden building, which is enough to block the howling cold wind.
These wooden buildings are obviously old. The outside of the wooden buildings is covered with thick leaves and moss, and there are countless usneas entangled on them. Not to mention from a distance, even if you walk to the wooden buildings, if you don't know the details here,
It is impossible for people to discover that there is such a building here.
Moreover, these wooden buildings are arranged at different heights. They are clearly distributed according to a certain pattern that can cover and protect each other. Any wooden building is within the range of the bow and arrow of other wooden buildings, and its defensive power is extremely amazing.
When it was getting dark, in the hall on the first floor of a wooden house in the middle of these wooden buildings, nearly a hundred big men were standing quietly and motionless in the hall.
The vice-president of the Dunerker Chamber of Commerce, the largest miller in Dunerker, and also the largest flour supplier in Dunerker, the black-bearded father who is known for his charity and enthusiasm for public welfare in Dunerker and surrounding areas wears a
He was wearing a black bear fur coat and was sitting on the only golden eagle chair in the hall, holding a huge cigar in his mouth and looking at the nearly a hundred people in the hall with arrogance and arrogance.
A big man with an unruly look.
The black-bearded father has an unusually eye-catching beard, and the dark beard covers almost half of his face. Like Lin Qi, he has a chiseled face, black hair, black eyes, and a slightly black yellow color.
As for his skin, he also has pure oriental blood. But like Lin Qi, Blackbeard's body is extremely majestic, and many Western men are not as tall as him.
Different from Lin Qi's slightly bloated body, the black-bearded father's body is tall and majestic. There is no fat on his body, all of which are abnormally strong muscles. Sitting on the big chair, he is like a steel statue, exuding an aura of energy all over his body.
The butt is wild, hot, and has a suffocating and sturdy aura.
"Very unfortunate news!" After smoking out a cigar, he threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground and rubbed it to pieces with a heavy kick. Then the black-bearded father growled in a low voice with a gloomy face: "Very unfortunate.
News! In the past year, the empire has had good weather again, damn, good weather! The wheat in my twenty warehouses is about to sprout, but I haven’t been able to sell a handful of flour!"
Nearly a hundred big men sighed at the same time, and they cursed the gods in the sky in unison, blaming them for allowing the empire to have such good weather and good food harvests in the past few years. These big men's curses were full of tricks, and all kinds of filthy words were endless. If
Anyone who is proficient in local dialects here will find that these big Han people come from at least seven different countries and regions in the northern part of the mainland.
"But, there is another good news!" Blackbeard Daddy waited for these big men to vent their grievances with obscene words, and then he said with a smile: "The good news is that the business of our hotel is good, and the business on the sea is also good.
Especially since the brothers worked so hard, the two gold-carrying ships of the Vyas Commercial Federation were obtained by the brothers. This gain is enough to offset our losses in the flour trade."
Clapping their hands vigorously, dozens of big men walked out from the back of the hall carrying heavy bronze boxes. These two-foot-square bronze boxes were placed heavily on the ground. As soon as the big men opened the lids, they revealed the golden contents inside.
gold coins and white silver coins.
"So, brothers can still have a good year this year! But I would like to remind all brothers that during the three-month winter break, they must pray devoutly every day, praying for a severe drought, flood, or locust plague in the empire next year.
, but it can no longer be smooth sailing!”
The big men clapped and stamped their feet, shouted loudly, and laughed wildly. The golden coins, the silver coins, and dad was dad, and he was still so bold! Of course, it was the brothers who worked hard, otherwise the two gold-carrying ships would be
How can I live such a prosperous year if I don’t have any means?
Just when the big men were dividing the gold and silver coins according to the number of their men and the merits of this year, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Iron Hammer walked in with heavy steps. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Master, the young master is in Bo Lai
Li caused some trouble. He provoked a good-for-nothing son of the Bavel family. The boy actually asked the dragoons and the copper hats to find trouble with the young master. Although the young master dealt with them well, I am afraid there will be more trouble in the future.
Trouble!"
The big men who were shouting stopped at the same time. They all looked back at the hammer. Then, I don't know who started. Nearly a hundred big men pulled out the machetes and axes from their waists at the same time, and roared angrily: "Chop it."
Weir family, kill everyone in their family!"
Among the group of big men, there were several orcs with faces that were definitely not human. These ferocious-looking orcs roared: "Dad, let us take our brothers! The orcs attacked the noble manor and killed them all.
Light, hahaha, this kind of thing is too common!”
The big men were waving their weapons in an angry manner. They didn't take a viscount family seriously at all. They could only commit thieves for a thousand days, but there was no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. These big men had years of experience in killing people and looting money.
veteran.
Only the black-bearded father stood up as if nothing had happened, bared his teeth and sneered a few times.
"The Bavel family? Is it the Pavel family of Hausen, who is known as the light of the imperial army?"
Tie Hui snorted, nodded and said: "Hausen is now a major general of the empire. He has a standing army of 10,000 people. The young master provoked his family and I heard that he caused a lot of trouble to their family.
, I’m afraid they will be detrimental to the young master!”
The black-bearded father waved his hand lightly: "No need for brothers to take action, just go back and have a good New Year. Well, I remember that 30 years ago, didn't that Haosen join hands with us in the slave and weapons trade? Put that
Find out the account books from that time, and if they really dare to provoke Lin Qi, send the account books and witnesses to the Imperial Supervision Department, and we won’t have to do the rest!"
The big men in the wooden house were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed crazily.
Blackbeard's father is Blackbeard's father, and the Imperial Major General actually has something in his hands. It's really awesome.
