The ruling government's reception banquet was in full swing, and Lin Qi's clone god puppet stole the show at the banquet. His every move, word and deed exuded a mysterious and majestic aura of the ancient oriental dynasty. This mystery and majesty,
These nobles from the Western Continent were so intoxicated that they gathered around him like crazy.
As for Lin Qi, he put on that phantom god puppet and turned into a vicissitudes of life, debauchery, treachery, and flashy middle-aged man, seriously wearing a set of red striped silk tights, riding a petite donkey,
Walk slowly towards the direction of the ruling government.
The donkey gnashed his teeth and muttered in a low voice: "Damn guys, why do you all like to ride on my back?"
Lin Qi turned a deaf ear to the donkey's complaints. If he didn't ride on the donkey's back, how could he let Lin Qi walk to the House of Nobles that governs the government? It's a long distance from the port to the House of Nobles. Why not walk?
Wasting your energy?
Holding a money bag made of silk with her little finger, Lin Qi hummed a fishing song from the North Sea of the Gallic Empire, and looked at the street scene of Port Vias with a smile. Although there was a smile on his face, Lin Qi's eyes were filled with laughter.
But it was as cold as water, with a chilling aura that made people afraid to approach it.
Long before the Blood Dragon ship approached the port city of Vias, spies under Lin Qi had already sneaked into the city and found out the latest news.
The Southern Governor of the Caesar Empire, 'Black Duke' Caron, brazenly used the Dragon Wing Legion to invade the Vyas Commercial Federation without the authorization of the Emperor. This shocked the entire continent. However, the Caesar Empire seemed to have no reaction to this.
, or it could be said that there were some changes within the Caesar Empire, so there was no news of the Caesar Empire sanctioning the Black Duke Caron.
The huge changes within the Vias Commercial Federation made Lin Qi feel worried.
Lin Qi was familiar with the Jin Fengfan family, the Jinshan family and other wealthy aristocrats from the original federation, including the several cover-up families of the Yunlong clan. They began to come under strong attack nine months ago. The business contracts they signed were blocked one after another.
Abandoned, more than 90% of the banks on the mainland refused to do business with them. The family's merchant ships were constantly captured at sea, and the family suffered huge losses in liquidity.
What's more, important members of the family were assassinated one after another. All the strongholds of these families in other countries were uprooted almost overnight, and all personnel were lost. Finally, six months ago, the original places of these families were ignited.
There was a raging fire, and powerful enemies from unknown origins invaded ferociously. The family's strongholds on the southern islands were destroyed, and all the clan members disappeared.
There is no doubt that this is an invasion by an extremely powerful force against the Vyas Commercial Federation. Even the Dragon Wing Legion is only part of this invasion.
"Jun Yun, is that you?" Lin Qi looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.
The Vias Commercial Federation is almost the exclusive territory of the Yunlong lineage. With that motive and the strength to launch a sniper attack on the top leaders of a country, Lin Qi thought about it. He could only think of Yunjun's Acacia family. As a member of the church, Lin Qi thought about it.
It is obviously not difficult for Lord Yun, the Dragon Elder, one of the great elders of the Dark Hall, to do this.
Gently patting the donkey's head. Lin Qi asked the donkey to take a detour and went to take a look at the important shops of several families controlled by the Yunlong clan in the past. These shops have all changed their owners, and there are signs on the shop fronts.
are the family emblems of several newly emerging wealthy merchants in the Vyas Commercial Federation.
The Varland family, such as Zeppelin, was originally ranked among the second-rate families in this country. However, with the sudden demise of those top families, the Varland family expanded rapidly. Now Zeppelin is already the top ruler of the Vias Commercial Federation.
Official!
"Don't let me know that you are from Yunjun!" Lin Qi hummed and rode a donkey slowly into the House of Nobles next to the executive government. All the officials here should have gone to the executive government across the wall to attend Lin Qi's meeting.
During the reception banquet, even the guards in front of the door ran to watch the excitement. The huge noble courtyard was empty, and there was no one in sight.
Frowning, Lin Qi took out a large gold goddess of wealth coin from her purse and gently threw it into the sky.
Although the spring rain fell one after another, the light was very dim. However, the huge gold coins rolled in the air, still emitting the gorgeous light that gold coins should have. Three officials wearing black cardigans and a white goose feather on their hats came from three different places.
He rushed out of the office, looked at the gold coins still rolling in the air with intense eyes, and then stretched out his hand to Lin Qi uniformly: "Dear Sir, how can we help you?"
Grabbing the fallen gold coin in his hand, Lin Qi slowly jumped off the donkey. He smiled at these three officials of the noble house who were obviously not of high rank: "Look, a promising businessman with some achievements is here.
What else can you do in the House of Nobles? I would like to know if there are any discounts recently?"
The three officials blinked their eyes desperately. Since Lin Qi did not shake hands with them enthusiastically, they simply took their hands back. The three people took a step forward at the same time and said in unison with a bright smile: "For
To celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Vyas Commercial Federation, all titles are discounted at 10%, and hereditary titles are at 8.5% off. If it is..."
Lin Qi stuffed the Goddess of Wealth's big gold coin into his purse, and then threw out three ordinary gold coins with a flick of his finger.
Smiling so hard that their eyes narrowed, the three officials stretched out their hands, quickly grabbed a gold coin each, and then bowed to Lin Qi diligently: "Then, with your generosity, your identity, and your
With your noble bloodline, you must inherit a family with ancient heritage?"
Lin Qi laughed, nodded implicitly and reservedly, and stroked the golden mustache on his lips vigorously.
"My old grandfather said before he died that the ancestor of our family was a noble... earl!" Lin Qi nodded thoughtfully: "I think I remembered it correctly, a noble...
Earl, unfortunately, because of the war, we have lost the glory of our ancestors, but the noble blood flowing in our veins has been calling, we unworthy descendants must get back the glory that belongs to us!"
The three officials in front of Lin Qi snapped their fingers at the same time, and they sighed with an aria similar to an opera: "Ah ha, the ancient bloodline will be glorious again, the dusty family emblem will reappear in the sky, and the noble will definitely be noble.
, they are destined to be at the top!"
The three people turned around and left quickly. Lin Qi patted the donkey's head and quickly followed behind them.
With a hint of fanaticism, the three officials led Lin Qi into a huge office on the second floor of the Noble House. There was a huge desk in the middle of the empty office, and one person invited Lin Qi to the table.
After sitting down, one person served him tea, and then the three of them rushed to the noble archives next door at the same time.
After just a few breaths, dozens of thick ancient classics with cowhide covers were placed in front of Lin Qi. The covers of these classics all had gilded clan emblems, but with the passage of time, these clan emblems
They were all dim and dull, giving off an aura of decay and aging.
In the Western Continent, even families with the protection of the Holy Realm will inevitably decline suddenly due to natural disasters. In the Vias Commercial Federation, such families are even more numerous. A financial turmoil may cause the death of countless families.
Ten once-high-ranking nobles went bankrupt overnight, turning them from nobles into penniless paupers.
In other countries, many nobles would cling to the noble titles left by their ancestors to get by. Just like Lin Qi's brother Yu Lian, he clings to that worthless title and hangs out with Lin Qi in the Iron Fist Brotherhood for so many years.
Years are just barely getting by.
But in the Vyas Commercial Federation, these bankrupt nobles can completely sell out the last bit of their family's value.
The inheritance of the family, the history of the family, including genealogy, bloodline certificates, etc., everything can be mortgaged to the House of Lords of the ruling government. If any of the descendants can redeem the glory of their family within the specified period, then they can
It can smoothly bring the family back to life.
But if the agreed time passes, everything in this family will be put up for sale by the House of Nobles with a clear price tag.
In the House of Nobles of the Vias Commercial Federation, this kind of inherited, historical, and once-prestigious noble status is no small matter. Unlike those new nobles who have made up random things, these ancient noble names are not as popular in the Western Continent.
Other countries will also receive due respect.
Therefore, this kind of inherited noble status is very valuable, and the selling price is very expensive.
"The one that meets your requirements, distinguished sir!" An official stood next to Lin Qi and introduced enthusiastically: "In the history of the Vias Commercial Federation, there were a total of sixty-three hereditary earls whose families had fallen into disgrace. According to their
Regarding their bloodline and inheritance history, their highest price is only nine million gold coins, and the lowest price is only a measly four and a half million gold coins!"
Another official added: "Of course, this price includes the title deeds of their fiefdoms and other real estate, but all the liquid assets...you know, liquid assets, there will be nothing left."
Lin Qi took a deep breath: "Is it higher than the title of a duke?"
The last official smiled and said: "But a 'new' Duke, a noble gentleman like you must understand the reason. A new Duke in other countries may not be treated as well as an ordinary baron in their country! And these titles are different.
, they... will receive all the treatment that a noble and ancient earl family deserves."
Lin Qi carefully flipped through the genealogy and certificates in front of him, which represented all the glory of each ancient family. Finally, he selected a family whose emblem showed a hereditary earl with a giant dragon trampling on a golden mountain.
"Earl of Longshan? I want to know everything it represents!" Lin Qi gently tapped the majestic and ancient family emblem.
"Nine million gold coins! Your noble Earl!"
"Earl Longshan, an ancient family inherited from the Dark Calendar Era. According to the bloodline pedigree, they are close relatives of the current royal family of the Caesar Empire!" {Piaotian Literature www.ptwxz.com thanks all book friends for your support. Your support is our greatest
