Proof of the Sun King
Chapter 468: , business is business
"Pa~" A gold crown fell on a large round table covered with a tablecloth. The front of the gold crown is the national flower of Brittany, the iris, and the back is a sticker of the first generation of knight king Arthur, which reads Arthur date of birth and death.
"I have to say, Your Excellency Ryan, you really don't have any talent for this kind of game." A businessman with a shiny face and bright eyes was sitting opposite Ryan, with red wine and a handful of gold krona on the table: "It's like As you said."
"...That's right, you're right, Oliver, I really don't have any talent for this game." Ryan looked at Oliver's "tower" erected with nine gold crowns with some envy, and then gave up with a chuckle : "Okay, I admit defeat."
The tower erected by Kim Kron was toppled.
Although Ryan's face always had a smile on his face, Oliver could clearly feel that Ryan was a little unhappy about losing to himself, and the big businessman who was already famous throughout the Old World wisely changed the subject: "King Bellegar's The trade post is already under construction, my count, our chamber of commerce has occupied the best position in the trade post, and the duke of Hagen has also allowed us free trade and unified tariffs. Now, the Duchy of Gisolayaux has also joined our alliance."
"Very good." Ryan nodded. He lowered his head and remained silent. Oliver also wisely stopped talking. Of course, this big businessman who was still a little overweight knew that the man in his early thirties was in this place. How powerful is the state or even the old world.
When his caravan arrived in Midden to lead the trade, the Elector of the White Wolf Boris Todbringer and the Pope of the White Wolf Emile Wagel actually met him in person. Oliver was not stupid enough to feel himself. Good, I feel that I am qualified as a big businessman to be received by these two powerful people even in the empire.
Unless it is the VIP of the high elves or the merchant messenger of the Dwarf Supreme King, it is already the highest level of reception for a merchant to meet the captain of the White Wolf Knights.
Well, they also had dinner together, although that dinner was not very appetizing, but after that dinner, Oliver never encountered difficulties with the stubborn Midden collar nobles again.
After thinking for a long time, Ryan raised his head, staring at Oliver who was patiently waiting for him to answer: "Dear Oliver, don't you feel uncomfortable? The trading post we have built so hard is going to be given to Duke Hagen who has nothing. If you understand a large share of your subordinates, the profits will also be shared.”
"It's not a good choice to eat alone, my count." Oliver understood this: "I think you understand better than me, everyone earns money together, and everyone takes risks together. When you encounter problems, these together Those who make money will naturally lend a helping hand, and at this time, an invisible alliance is formed.”
"More importantly, whether it's Duke Hagen or Duke Falkard, they are bound to accept my favor." Ryan stood up and motioned for Oliver to come out with him: "Are you interested in going out for a walk? Oliver ?"
"Of course, as long as you need it." Oliver smiled very cooperatively.
Ryan is a nostalgic person. He already had a very good cooperative relationship with him before he became famous. Oliver naturally put all his efforts into maintaining it. Now he can become a first-class businessman in the whole old world. Not without reason.
"Huh? Mr. Oliver, are you here? Welcome." The two of them had just left the room together when a mature and beautiful figure stopped in front of them. She wiped her wet blond curly hair with a towel and her dark blue legs. The two long legs are straight and slender against the tight pants. The high-necked knight costume, golden braid and black long leather boots look heroic. The swan-like slender neck is full of delicate skin that can be broken by blowing bullets.
"Oh! Of course, Mrs. Surya." Oliver saw that the visitor was obviously a little cautious, and he hurriedly saluted: "You are so beautiful today."
One thing that is recognized in this earldom is that compared to the earl himself, his wife is even more difficult to provoke. It is no news that Surya calmly cleans up her opponents with a moving smile on her face. Now, Ryan often goes out to fight, and most of the internal affairs are managed by Suria, and she manages it very well. She is only one heir missing now.
"Thank you, Oliver, thank you... Ryan, are you guys going out?" Suria had just finished her daily practice of riding and swordsmanship. The female knight went to bathe and changed into a new set of clothes. When she came out, she saw that she was about to go out. The two of them, the Countess was a little curious: "Where are you going in such a cold weather?"
"Oliver and I want to talk about something, Suria, come with you too." Ryan smiled and took his wife's little hand: "Let the Oliver family come too, we can go out and find a place to have a picnic."
"Picnic, of course, but where are we going to choose?" Surya said gently: "It's not good to let Mr. Oliver and his wife and children wait for us to hunt in the ice and snow, right?"
"Of course not." Ryan suddenly remembered something, and he smiled rudely: "Let's go to my brother's house and see what's delicious."
"It's all yours, my husband."
So, thirty minutes later, Red Fish Village, Angron's home.
"Oh, my brother raised too many fish, don't have so many, let's eat a little." Ryan used the fishing net to scoop up several fish.
"There are too many vegetables in my brother's house. If you don't pick them, they will grow old. Let's pick a little and eat them." Ryan took a big bag and picked the leaves.
"The fragrant pig from my brother's house is really beautiful. Let's get one to make roast suckling pig."
"Brother's radish looks beautiful!"
"Come on, come on, pull a little more~"
"Wow~" Angron's two border shepherds naturally recognized Ryan and Suria, they barked a few times, and ran up to rub Ryan's trouser legs.
Sourced locally from Angron's house, Lane, they made a great lunch.
Oliver's wife is a beautiful woman in her thirties. It is said that this is Oliver's second wife. Although she is well maintained and does not look old, she is completely at a disadvantage in the face of Sulia. Participating in a private party of this level is very proud. The businessman's wife has always been in a low position in front of the noble lady. Facing Suria, she accompanies her smiling face, more like a housekeeper.
But this is enough for her to brag in her own circle for several years, Ryan thought, sometimes this is the case, the circle of great noble ladies represented by Sulia attracts all women, and only a few people who may change their fate are destined to be. .
"Suria, how's the situation on your side?" On the picnic, Ryan held the orange juice in his hand. He asked Suria casually.
Marriages in the Middle Ages were different from those in many ancient Chinese dynasties in his previous life.
The marriage between him and Suria was really just a marriage between the two of them. After they got married, Ryan was still an earl, and Suria was still a marquis. The titles of the two were relatively independent, economic freedom, and female knighthood. She owns the fiefs of two villages in the Duchy of Winford. She enjoys complete financial and governance rights. These two villages have nothing to do with Ryan. Even if he is the husband of the marquis, he has no right to intervene in these two villages. In any case, the female knight has a huge dowry of more than 20,000 gold crowns. This money has nothing to do with Ryan, and how to use it depends on Suria herself.
In the same way, if Ryan is unwilling, Suria has no right to intervene in his territory.
To merge the titles, Ryan's generation cannot do it, and it will not be possible until the children of the two are born and inherit all the titles of their parents.
Oliver thought that this was probably why most of the marriages of the duke's daughter were unhappy. To marry a duke's daughter as a wife meant that she had considerable financial power and autonomy, and at the same time she would have strong backing from her family, which meant that any Small conflicts between husband and wife can easily cause huge storms and eventually form a family war. The duke's direct daughter is not afraid of her husband at all, and their husband is often the one who is low-key.
But this situation is not seen in Ryan and Suria. They can be called a model couple. While maintaining his strong position, Ryan let Suria take charge of his territory and help his wife establish Prestige, while Surya knows how to respect Ryan's guidelines and debate on small things, and some small games between husband and wife keep them entertained and keep them close.
Holding the power in his hand but not using it, but delegating the power to his wife, this is the most irritating and the most enviable of Oliver. He knows that if he learns well, his wife can pay the entire chamber of commerce within two years. clean.
After eating, Oliver thought that there were no outsiders here, so the big businessman whispered: "But my earl, you know, the establishment of a trading post still affects other people's cakes."
"That's right, someone else's cake was indeed moved." Ryan said in a low voice with a glass of wine in his hand: "Fercade, Duke of Montfort must be very dissatisfied with this..."
"But he couldn't fight because Ryan saved his life." Surya's sea-blue eyes were full of wisdom: "It made him feel uncomfortable, and it's really good news for us."
"So, we also want to involve Duke Falkard in the establishment of a trading post." Ryan held a red wine glass, his face reflected in the bright red wine: "As you said, we have to learn to share. , share the profits, share the risks.”
"But Duke Hagen..." Oliver was still worried.
"It's up to you, Oliver, bring dwarves when necessary, stubborn dwarves can always give everyone a headache." Lane whispered: "After all, dwarves are the biggest supplier of trade posts. And the most determined trading partners, their demands should be met, am I right? You don't have to think too much about the Duke of Hagen, he is not interested in these things, you just need to get them together and negotiate and then Let them understand that if a reasonable distribution agreement cannot be reached, this trading post will not be able to open, and Suria and I will support you."
"Understood." Oliver got Ryan's guidance, and the big businessman calmed down a little. He suddenly made a joke: "It's a pity that Hadrian was not involved in this big deal."
Oliver and Hadrian are now Ryan's royal businessmen. They are both allies and competitors. The two businessmen always try their best to compete for their own share, but they cooperate with each other externally.
"Hadrian has another important task to complete." Ryan shook his head: "Did you see the gold and silver jewels that landed on Poldro?"
"An astronomical figure, my earl." Oliver nodded.
"Find a way to get out slowly and get back what we want." Ryan took out a parchment exuding golden divine brilliance in front of Surya and Oliver: "As long as everything goes well, this will be yours. ."
"This is?" Oliver glanced at the title on the parchment.
"Trade ronin trade license."
The signature is a golden signature, with a dazzling light that can engulf everything flowing between the lines.
"The Eeror Of Mankind"
…………I am the dividing line of the signature…………
"BusinessIsBusiness" In Fulgrim's tent, the Emperor watched with interest the many ancient sage prophecy tablets collected by Fulgrim. By using psionic solutions, the Lord of Humans seemed to have obtained some interpretations.
Fulgan wanted to read something from his beloved father's face, but the Emperor's expression remained cold, as if only the content of the slate reflected in his black eyes could arouse his interest.
The Lord of Humans affirmed Fulgrim's achievements, and an alliance with the Lizardmen did not seem unacceptable to the Emperor. The first reaction of the Emperor's Children's Primarch was that both sides were enemies of Chaos, and could naturally cooperate if they had to.
Well, like Guilliman and that Eldar Chosen, and Sanguinius and the Silent King.
In Fulgan's mind, only the guy who used psionic communication to pierce a gap in the net tunnel under the palace and shouted "Fantastic Pony did nothing wrong" and "friendship is magic" really made the Emperor angry~ www.wuxiaspot.com~Business is business. Fulgrim repeated the Emperor's words, and he said uncertainly: "Is it necessary to continue our cooperation with the servants of the Old Sage? "
"It is very necessary. From some perspectives, countless Slan Demon Toads use their own lives and will to maintain the maelstrom through the great guardianship by sealing themselves on the obelisk, preventing the invasion of demons." The Emperor Frowning his brows, he looked at the slate collected by Forgan: "A lot of content on the slate has been fulfilled, and some prophecies are vague, but we can still learn something from it, the Old Sage has a lot of information on this planet. There is a bigger plot, and we know nothing about it."
"The power of the servants of the ancient saints is very powerful..." Thinking of the danger of the world shaking when Mazda Moody, the lord of the Slan Demon Toad, Fulgan said uncertainly: "I don't know where they come from. , but some of their technology is still far superior to ours.”
"Of course, it is far better than us. Up to now, your offspring are still using my technology, and those technologies are the legacy of the ancient saints." The emperor said coldly: "There are some ancient saints left here. The hatching pool, just right, I can purify it, and then use your genes..."
"Father! You mean?!" Fugan's mouth widened in surprise.
The Emperor shook his head: "But first, let's meet those loyal servants of the Old Sage."
After speaking, the Emperor directly used psionic teleportation to teleport Fulgrim and himself away.
New World, Lustria, City of the Sun.
In the defense of a dozen Lizardmen legions, Mazda Moody, the great lord of the Slan Demon Toad, noticed two figures that appeared before the Pyramid of the Ancient Holy Sun God.
The voice of the Demon Toad Lord was trembling.
"Start... the big plan."
