***********************
The melodious waltz came from the Supreme Consulate, and countless gorgeous carriages filled the streets outside the Consulate. It was not that the Consulate did not have a dedicated carriage parking lot, but it was because there were too many guests from the Consulate today.
All the businessmen in Yas Port City came together, no matter big businessmen or small businessmen, as long as they had some money on hand, they all came together.
The hall of the ruling government was bright enough to accommodate two thousand people dancing at the same time. Countless well-dressed gentlemen and ladies filled the magnificent hall like ants. More people were not qualified to enter the hall, and they could only stay in the side halls on both sides.
Nervously inquiring for news, or peering around in the square outside the hall. Only the male and female servants roamed around freely, serving free drinks and cakes to the guests.
This was a luxurious banquet destined to be recorded in the history of the Vias Commercial Federation. Both the number of attendees and the identities of the attendees set a record in the history of the Vias Commercial Federation.
Tens of thousands of nobles and businessmen gathered together. Envoys from the major empires, kingdoms, principalities and autonomous territories of the Western Continent stationed in the port city of Vias, as well as nobles who happened to be on vacation here, all gathered here, as if they smelled blood.
They gathered around Lin Qi like smelly flies.
'Lin Qi' was wearing a gorgeous, extremely complicated and extravagant dress that was only worn by nobles during the Great Sacrifice of Heaven and Earth in the Blood Qin Empire. For this dress, the well-informed businessmen and women in the ruling hall
There's nothing good to say about the nobility. It's extremely luxurious, extremely complicated, and extremely... valuable!
A dress that can buy half a kingdom - this is the most sincere praise of this dress by the merchants of Vyas. And the legend about this dress from the ancient eastern empire has truly become the western continent.
Many legends of noble families have been passed down from generation to generation.
'Lin Qi' hugged 'Blissful Sky' and chatted with the businessmen and nobles in a serious manner. However, the god puppet clone controlled by Lin Qi just casually said that the weather was good today, the wine tasted good, and a certain maid's breasts
They talked about rich topics, such as his goods, his identity, etc., and he would always laugh heartily.
The merchants and nobles who were chatting with Lin Qi in the hall were all high-class people in the Vias Commercial Federation.
The top businessmen and nobles who are truly considered to be wealthy families in today's Vyas Commercial Federation, all gathered in the conference room on the third floor of the executive government, respectfully and eagerly watching the weak people sitting at the conference table, slowly speaking.
Hu Xinzhu looked at the territory map of the Vyas Commercial Federation.
Like a puppet that fell apart, or like a long worm that had been cramped. Hu Xinzhu lay weakly on the conference table, squinting and carefully looking at the huge map made of Warcraft skin in front of him. His white and delicate fingers were
The map slid slowly, crossing one province after another painted in light green.
The Vyas Commercial Federation is a federal country composed of pure business families. Families, large and small, constitute the main body of this country. And since it is a family, some are prosperous, some are declining or even perishing. Those light green ones
The territory is the unclaimed land left after the death of the owner who originally owned the land, that is, the land that can be sold by the ruling government.
The light red land on the map means that the owners here still live and work in peace and contentment, and they are still rich and prosperous. Therefore, the government has no right to dispose of these lands. If Hu Xinzhu takes a fancy to the land here, he must fight with their original owners.
Negotiate.
The appraiser has already reported the value of half of the goods unloaded from the Blood Dragon ship. Top-quality white porcelain, top-quality tea, top-quality silk, and top-quality spices. These goods are huge in quantity and extremely valuable because they are "royal tributes."
'With this title, these goods are bound to set off an unprecedented craze in the Western Continent!
Lin Qi spent a total of 500,000 taels of gold purchasing these goods from the Blood Qin Empire. Based on the weight of a gold coin of six to ten grams, the total cost of this batch of goods was about three million gold coins. Goods from the Eastern Continent were shipped to the West
Mainland China basically has 20 times the profit, but the quality of those goods cannot be compared with the goods brought by Lin Qi.
Calculated based on a profit of at least one hundred times, this half of the goods is worth more than 300 million gold coins!
Three hundred million gold coins, according to the tax revenue of various countries in the mainland in recent years, is almost equivalent to the sum of all official annual incomes of the three countries of the Gallic Empire, Caesar Empire, and Haran Empire multiplied by two. There is no doubt that this
It's a huge astronomical sum.
"According to the market conditions I know, it only costs one million gold coins to purchase a dukedom in the Vias Commercial Federation?" Hu Xinzhu lazily raised his head and glanced at Qi Bolin with a smile. Hu Xinzhu grinned in two rows
The white teeth reflected a dazzling cold light under the light, which reminded Zeppelin instinctively of some bloodthirsty monsters.
After coughing slightly, Zeppelin said gently: "Dear Steward, that is an empty title without a fiefdom!"
Smiling and walking towards Hu Xinzhu, Qi Berlin chuckled and said: "One million buys a duke. If it is a hereditary duke, it is two million; a marquis is 700,000, a count is 400,000, a viscount is 200,000, and a baron, this
This is a worthless title, it only costs 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins, and we can provide a full set of certificate services."
After a slight pause, Zeppelin said in a deep voice: "The important thing is the fiefdom, respected Mr. Steward. According to the size of the fiefdom..."
Hu Xinzhu rolled her eyes and looked at Qi Bolin: "Of course we need a fiefdom. Our Lord Marquis has hundreds of thousands of followers. We are going to take root here. We want to multiply our family lineage here, so we need a fiefdom with enough area!"
Zeppelin took out a pencil and circled a medium-sized province in the heart of the Vias Commercial Federation. Of course, in Hu Xinzhu's view, this province was nothing more than a province equivalent to the Blood Qin Empire.
It's just the jurisdiction of the county.
"This province of Hassan has one first-level city with a population of more than one million, four second-level cities with a population of more than 300,000, and nine third-level cities with a population of more than 100,000. There are also more than 200 villages and towns.
, the average width of the province from north to south is 350 miles, and the length from east to west is 800 miles. The total population is more than 6 million. I think..."
Hu Xinzhu interrupted Qi Bolin without hesitation: "This is just what you think! A so-called province with six million people?"
Shaking his head contemptuously, Hu Xinzhu stared at Qi Bolin and sneered: "Do you think we are fools? You are spending at least 300 million gold coins in a rural place where the total annual tax revenue may only be 1 million gold coins.
us?"
Qi Bolin spread his hands and looked at Hu Xinzhu with great sincerity: "Your distinguished steward..."
Hu Xinzhu sneered and said: "Whoever dares to call me 'general manager' again and reminds me of some special professions that have lost part of their limbs, I don't mind letting him clearly understand what the 'chief manager of the inner palace' is!"
Standing up slowly, Hu Xinzhu said in a deep voice: "I know you are businessmen and you pursue profits, but you can't be too greedy! How dare you leave such a barren, sparsely populated and remote place to us?"
Hu Xinzhu sighed: "God, punish these greedy and stupid guys. The average population of a province in the Blood Qin Empire is 140 million! Six million people? This is just the standard of permanent residents in the provincial capital of a province.
!”
Zeppelin's face turned red. Then his expression suddenly became extremely strange. Not only Zeppelin, but also the expressions of all the other consuls and businessmen present became extremely strange. On average, one province of the Blood Qin Empire had
A population of 140 million? God, how many people are there in the entire Gallic Empire? Can the Gallic Empire have 300 million people?
With an inexplicable respect and fear, Zeppelin cautiously suggested: "Of course, we have a better choice."
Hu Xinzhu gave Qi Bolin a serious look, and he said slowly: "Of course, we should have a better choice!"
His fingers slowly slid towards the northernmost province of the Vias Commercial Federation, which was being invaded by the Caesar Empire and had already lost more than half of it to the Dragon Wing Legion. Its area was the largest in the Vias Commercial Federation.
The Green Forest Province is one of the best and is rich in various metal ores, precious stones, and gold sands. It is also the main supplier of timber to the Vias Commercial Federation.
"Don't think that we don't know everything when we first arrive!" Hu Xinzhu clasped his hands on his chest and said calmly: "The Green Yingshi family, the original owners of this province, has been exterminated by the Dragon Wing Legion. In other words, except for some small locals,
Family, this province has no master!"
Hu Xinzhu said solemnly: "Three hundred million gold coins in exchange for our Lord's permanent ownership of the Green Forest Province! Of course, the title of Duke of Green Forest must also be added, hereditary Duke, and the Duke of Green Forest is qualified to send special representatives
Enter the executive government and serve as a consul!"
Qi Bolin and the governors behind him glanced at each other quickly, and before they could speak, Hu Xinzhu had already made an offer that they could not refuse: "In addition to these 300 million gold coins, we will give the supreme governor every three years.
The families to which the governors belong provide a truth-returning elixir!"
Qi Bolin and others' faces turned red from suppressing their emotions, and they looked at Hu Xinzhu almost crazy!
The Green Yingshi family has been exterminated, and the Green Forest Province has become a terra incognita. According to the tradition of the Vias Commercial Federation, this province with 20 million permanent residents may be auctioned off at any time. And Hu Xinzhu's
The bid was completely beyond their psychological price.
"Of course, the Dragon Wing Legion must be eliminated!" Hu Xinzhu said sternly: "It is not to drive away, but to eliminate it! Dear gentlemen, the Marquis's army will go to war, but the Vias Commercial Federation must send out no less than two
An army of 100,000 people assists in the battle!"
Zeppelin extended his hand enthusiastically: "Then, without going through the political council, we can tell you clearly that the deal is done!"
Hu Xinzhu smiled and nodded, then he pointed on the map casually as if he didn't care.
"Since such a large province has already concluded a deal, then the dozen or so small islands in the southernmost part of the country are the partners, right?"
The smiles of Qi Bolin and others suddenly froze. {Piaotian Literature www.ptwxz.com thanks all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation}
