The melodious waltz came from the Supreme Consulate, and countless gorgeous carriages filled the street outside the Consulate. It was not that the Consulate did not have a special 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. wWw.QUanbEn-xIAoShUo.CoM
The hall of the ruling government was brightly lit, which could accommodate two thousand people dancing at the same time. Countless well-dressed ministers and ladies filled the magnificent hall like ants. More people were not qualified to enter the hall. They could only nervously inquire about information in the side halls on both sides, or peek 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 people present 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 Vias Port City, 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 in the Xuetai Empire during the Great Sacrifice of Heaven and Earth. The well-informed businessmen and nobles in the executive government hall had nothing to say about this dress. It was extremely luxurious, extremely complicated, and extremely beautiful. . . valuable!
A dress that can buy half a kingdom. This is the most sincere praise of this dress from the merchants of Vyas, and the legend about this dress from the ancient eastern empire has truly become the story of many nobles in the Western continent. Family legends have been passed down from generation to generation.
"Lin Qi, put your arms around Blissful Sky" and greeted the businessmen and nobles in a serious manner. However, the god puppet clone controlled by Lin Qi just easily deceived him by saying that the weather is good today, the wine tastes good, and a certain maid has very plump breasts. When talking about topics like his goods, his identity, etc., he would just laugh heartily.
The businessmen and nobles who chatted with Lin Qi in the hall were all high-class people in the Vias Commercial Federation.
In today's Vyas Commercial Federation, the top businessmen and nobles who can be considered wealthy families all gathered in the conference room on the third floor of the executive government. They looked respectfully and eagerly at the weak people sitting at the conference table, slowly talking. Hu Xinzhu looked at the territory map of the Vyas Commercial Federation.
Like a puppet that fell apart, or 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 her. His white and delicate fingers slid slowly on the map, passing through one province after another painted in light green. …,
The Vyas Business Federation is a federal state composed of pure business families. Families, large and small, constitute the main body of this country. And since it is a family, some prosper and some decline or even perish. Those light green territories are the unclaimed land left after the original owner of the land died, 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 negotiate 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. , 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 is about three million gold coins. Goods from the Eastern Continent are basically 20 times more profitable when shipped to the Western Continent, but the quality of those goods is incomparable to the goods brought by Lin Qi.
Calculated based on at least a hundred times the profit, this half of the goods is worth more than 300 million gold coins!
Three hundred million gold coins, based on the tax revenue of various countries in the mainland in recent years, is almost equivalent to the total official annual income of the three countries of Gaul Empire, Caesar Empire, and Harlan Empire multiplied by two. There is no doubt that this is a huge astronomical sum.
"According to the market conditions I know, buying a dukedom in the Vias Commercial Federation only costs one million gold coins?" Hu Xinzhu lazily raised his head and glanced at Qi Berlin with a smile. The grinning Hu Xinzhu's two rows of white teeth reflected a dazzling cold light under the light, which reminded Zeppelin instinctively of some bloodthirsty monsters.
Zeppelin coughed lightly and said gently: "Dear Steward, that is an empty title without a fief!"
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 It’s a worthless title, only thirty to fifty thousand 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 punched it in the heart of the Vias Commercial Federation, and circled a medium-sized province. Of course, in Hu Xinzhu's view, this province was just the jurisdiction of a county in the Blood Qin Empire.
"Hassen 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, nine third-level cities with a population of more than 100,000, and more than 200 villages and towns. , the province is an average of 350 miles wide from north to south and 800 miles long from east to west, with a total population of 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 sincerely: "Your distinguished steward.
. .
Hu Xinzhu sneered and said: "Who dares to call me a general manager again?" If you let me contact some special professions that have lost part of their limbs, I don't mind letting him clearly understand what the inner palace general manager is! "
Hu Xinzhu stood up slowly and 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. There are an average of 140 million people in a province of the Blood Qin Empire! Six million people? This is just the permanent residents of the provincial capital of a province." level!"
Zeppelin's face turned red, and then his expression suddenly became extremely strange. Not only Zeppelin but also all the other governors and businessmen present had extremely weird expressions on their faces. The Blood Qin Empire had an average of 140 million people per province. ? God, how many people are there in the entire Gallic Empire? Could 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. It was being invaded by the Caesar Empire and more than half of it had been conquered by the Dragon Wing Legion. That area was considered large in the Vias Commercial Federation. The Green Forest Province is one of the best in the world and is rich in various metal ores and gemstones. It is rich in gold sand and is 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 Crystal Family, the original owners of this province, has been exterminated by the Dragon Wing Legion. In other words, except for some small local families , this province no longer has an owner!"
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 the 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. 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 executive government a The families to which the consuls belong provide a truth-returning elixir!"
Qi Bolin and others' faces turned red from suppressing their emotions, and they looked at Hu Xinzhu almost wildly!
The Green Yingshi family has been exterminated, and the Green Forest Province has become a land without owners. According to the tradition of the Vias Commercial Federation, this province with more than 2,000 permanent residents may be auctioned off at any time. And Hu Xinzhu's bid has completely exceeded 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!”
Qi Pailin extended his hand enthusiastically: "Then, there is no need to go 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 Zeppelin and others suddenly froze. . ) A group of ** all dream of becoming adults as soon as possible ●~ ●~ … ●~ ●~ … ●~ ●~ ●~ … ●~ ●~ … ●~ ●~ … ●~ ●~ ●~ … ●~ ●~ … One day , they felt an inexplicable excitement and thought that the opportunity had come, so they rushed forward with all their strength ●~ ●~ ... ●~ ●~ ...
