Early the next morning, an energetic Lin Qi rushed to Enzo's room and stuffed a large handful of snow into Enzo's bed. The hungover Enzo let out a shrill howl and left in embarrassment.
He jumped out of bed.
After being tormented by Lin Qi, Enzo suddenly became more energetic. He hurriedly took a shower and changed his outfit. The newly dressed Enzo enjoyed a rough and substantial breakfast. He burped comfortably,
Chewing a mixture of betel nut and tobacco, Enzo followed Lin Qi and his son. Surrounded by more than a dozen guards, the group rode in a carriage and rode horses, heading down the Black Beech Mountain in a mighty way.
All the wealthy families in Dunkerque live near the Black Beech Hill. Only the mayor, Baron Milo, and his family live in the mansion attached to the city hall. As the highest power controller of the Port of Dunker, Baron Milo is an absolute leader.
He is an outsider whose ancestral home is not Dunker, so although he has served as mayor of Dunker for ten years, Baron Miró has not purchased any real estate in Dunker.
Sitting in the spacious and luxurious carriage compartment, Blackbeard held a big cigar in his mouth and introduced Baron Milo to Lin Qi in a loud voice.
Not buying property in Dunerker is not because Baron Milo is incorruptible, but that he is an extremely greedy guy. But he deliberately created an image that he was extremely incorruptible, so he has been living in Dunerker in a house provided by the empire for free.
In the mayor's residence.
However, according to the information obtained by Blackbeard, Baron Milo has annexed a large amount of land in his hometown, Blackstone City, a small town less than 300 miles away from Dunerke, and purchased seven fertile manors.
He has purchased nearly a hundred maids in the past ten years.
"This guy is old! It's time for a seventy-year-old guy to retire!" Blackbeard waved a foot-long cigar and exhaled smoke while saying loudly: "To be honest, if he doesn't retire, then he or he
His son, his daughter, or his wife, there will always be someone who gets into trouble because the horse driving him goes crazy!"
"He must retire!" Blackbeard squinted and snorted coldly: "He has made enough benefits over the years, and he must retire. A seventy-year-old man, do you still expect him to do something for Dunerq? On the contrary, I
If you become the mayor, Dunerker will usher in tremendous development, Dunerker's economy will improve rapidly, and everyone will make money."
Lin Qi immediately said: "Of course, the premise is that our family makes money first!"
Blackbeard nodded happily. He looked at Lin Qi with great relief and said with a smile: "That's a good saying. Of course, the premise is this. If our family doesn't make money, then don't expect anyone in Dunerke to make money!"
Taking a hard bite on his cigar, Blackbeard said vaguely: "Now I am only the president of the chamber of commerce in the mill and hotel industry, but after I become the mayor, I will become the president of the Dunerke United Chamber of Commerce! By then, hum
snort."
The father and son were discussing how to make a fortune after becoming mayor and president of the United Chamber of Commerce. The carriage had already arrived outside the city hall in the center of Dunerque. Two guards in sky-blue military uniforms stood feebly.
In front of the city hall, they saw a carriage and more than a dozen accompanying guards. Two guards quickly raised their spears and stopped the carriage.
Blackbeard opened the curtain angrily, leaned out the window with his bearded face, and snorted at the two guards.
The listless guards immediately became full of smiles. They bowed deeply to the carriage and obediently moved out of the way. Who in Dunerk doesn't know Blackbeard's father now? He is a powerful figure running for the next mayor, and
Basically, no one in the city of Dunerqi can compete with Blackbeard's father for this position. His influence is too great!
Dunerker is a port city, the third largest port in the empire, and the only winter-free port in the northern part of the empire. It is the most important commodity distribution center in the northern part of the empire and even the northern part of the continent. And Blackbeard's father is among the sailors and crew members.
With a very high reputation, he is almost recognized by the sailors and crew as the uncrowned king. He can decide the working status of all employees in the entire port with just one order. If such a person wants to run for mayor, which idiot would dare to compete with him?
"The only question now is whether Milo, an old vampire, will report my name."
The black-bearded father frowned, blew out a puff of thick smoke, and sighed in annoyance: "Our family has no one to help us in the imperial capital. This is a headache. If there is any recommendation from an old guy like Milo,
Then things will be 100% sure.”
The carriage stopped in front of the mayor's residence. Two waiters, dressed in neat uniforms and gray-white wigs, pretending to be royal servants, walked up to the carriage and slowly opened the door.
Blackbeard puffed out thick smoke, swaying his huge body and strode out of the carriage. Lin Qi patted Enzo's shoulder, and the two walked off one after another. The butcher's knife accompanying him jumped off the horse and led the people
He opened the back compartment of the carriage and moved many things out of it.
Not to mention those tightly wrapped spices and tea leaves from the East, all of which are valuable goods; not to mention those silk brocades, a piece of fine jacquard brocade can be sold for thousands of gold coins in the imperial capital when it is in short supply.
The sky-high price; the most eye-catching thing is that the butcher knife brought it out personally, a set of 240 pieces, including soup bowls, rice bowls, plates, spoons and other utensils. The color is like the blue sky, dotted with thin raindrops.
Secret color porcelain with the same transparent spots.
Such a set of porcelain is a hot commodity in the imperial capital, enough to exchange it with those wealthy nobles for a fine vineyard of more than 100 acres. Gold coins cannot measure the price of such a set of porcelain. For this kind of porcelain from the East,
A complete set of porcelain can be described as a work of art, and it is simply an insult to use gold coins to measure its value.
The two waiters also knew the goods. The spices, tea leaves and silk had dilated their pupils, but this set of exposed secret-color porcelain made their breathing suddenly become rapid, and their attitudes became even more intense.
He was polite and polite, and his attitude toward Blackbeard and Lin Qi was as respectful as if he were meeting His Majesty the King.
Pretended hearty laughter came from afar, and an old man wearing a simple black robe with no accessories on his body came out with stooped steps. The old man's eyes quickly turned around on the gifts.
His withered, yellow face suddenly revealed a charming red color.
"Dear Mr. Tiger, you are so polite! God bless you, you will definitely get your wish!" Baron Milo, a skinny old man, laughed happily.
Blackbeard smiled even more cheerfully, and he murmured in a low voice: "If I don't get my wish, your whole family will have to feed the sharks!"
With a grunt, Blackbeard opened his hands and greeted Baron Milo with a loud laugh.
