Realm of Power

The big event that shocked the entire empire disappeared before it could spread. As the first batch of business representatives released by the Governor's Palace returned to their respective chambers of commerce, the major chambers of commerce in Badiya held emergency meetings.

"What, the food in the warehouses in the valley are all military rations! Didn't you say that was the warehouse of the Hakara family?" Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the people in the major chambers of commerce. "Those warehouses belong to the imperial military, just to keep them secret. That’s why we call it Hakara’s family!”

"I was really tricked by those Feishan nobles this time. Stealing military rations is a crime that is punishable by death, and it will even implicate the entire clan. What should I do...!" The chamber of commerce participating in the meeting was shocked by the information brought by the representatives. They were stunned and wailing with pale faces. If the people who had been released had not revealed the news, the major chambers of commerce would have known that they were already standing at the gate of hell without knowing it.

"Lord Prais said that he believed that everyone was loyal to the empire and must have been deceived. However, even if a former important minister of the empire like him wanted to take over the matter of robbing military supplies, it would be difficult for him to do so. You will feel a lot of pressure, you can even say that you are under a knife It's not an exaggeration to dance on the front line, so he hopes that everyone must suppress this matter. Otherwise, as long as a little bit of news reaches the emperor's ears, it will not be as simple as one or two heads falling to the ground, but it may shake the entire empire's business community. The bloody storm, even if it is He couldn't bear to see the empire's merchants bleed like this, so he took the risk to release us early just to let me tell everyone about this in advance." The voice of the released chamber of commerce representative paused, his face full of shame, and his voice With a trace of whimpering, just half a day ago , he still scolded Prais for being cruel and cruel in front of the Governor's Mansion, and now he knows about the storm that Feishan Governor's Mansion will face, "This time, Mr. Prais has decided to take all the responsibilities, I am afraid that Feizer’s position as Chief Internal Affairs Officer can no longer be kept.”

The business representative said, and the other chamber of commerce participants bowed their heads in shame. This time, Plais was completely finished. Although Plais was a former important minister of the empire, the word "previous" already showed that it was yesterday's news. Unexpected Being transferred to the Feishan area is already the emperor's last friendship. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching in the dark. Now that such a big thing has happened, the possibility of Prais being transferred again is almost 100%. ! "We should try our best to save Mr. Prais," said a representative of the Chamber of Commerce. "Although we are only businessmen, this time it is entirely because of our actions that Mr. Prais suffered. If there is nothing, If we don’t do anything, are we still human? If the news spreads back to the mainland of the empire, the reputation of our chamber of commerce will be damaged.”

"What do you mean, Lord Harushir?" People from other chambers of commerce looked at this chamber of commerce representative. Harushil is the representative of the Luqing Chamber of Commerce. The Luqing Chamber of Commerce is also a well-known chamber of commerce in the imperial business community. It is mainly engaged in Mineral trade, while most of the Feishan area is mountainous and has a poor agricultural foundation, but it is relatively In general, it is a big owner of various minerals. The Luqing Chamber of Commerce may not be a big deal in the interior of the empire, but in Fei Shan, it definitely has considerable power. Among the representatives of the major empire chambers of commerce who came this time, other The Chamber of Commerce can only have one deacon at most, but the president of the Luqing Chamber of Commerce, Haruhir, came in person.

"I think if we can increase our investment in Feishan, we should be able to reduce the punishment for Lord Plais."

Harushir said with twinkling eyes, but he actually felt a little guilty. In fact, before he was released, Plais had already met him alone and offered to hand over all the minerals in the Feishan area to the Luqing Chamber of Commerce for exclusive sale. , for Haruhir, who is determined to use Feishan to move towards a large chamber of commerce, it can be said that the whole person's blood is boiling.

Being able to monopolize the mineral trade of a country is simply unimaginable for the Luqing Chamber of Commerce. After all, the Luqing Chamber of Commerce is not one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the empire. Above the Luqing Chamber of Commerce, the ten Among the large chambers of commerce, there is a super predator who specializes in mineral trade, and this super The Great Chamber of Commerce also sent people to Feishan. They were determined to get all the minerals in the Feishan area. This time, Harushir also had the mentality of picking as much as he could and did not think that he would have a chance to monopolize the minerals. trade rights, but now that Plais has personally promised it, how could he not be moved!

"Increase investment? It is not impossible if Mr. Plais continues to be in charge of Feishan."

After people from other chambers of commerce discussed in low voices for a while, they all expressed their opinions. As an area forgotten by the empire in the early days, Feishan had almost no commercial trade. However, as soon as the imperial sea order was issued, Feishan's status as a golden land has been changed. It is foreseeable that major chambers of commerce will come to seize the beach at this moment. Naturally, We are also here for the bright future of Feishan. The initial investment is just to test the waters. Once it can be proved that the Feishan area is profitable, more investment will inevitably follow. This time, everyone really owes Prais. As a big favor, all the major chambers of commerce said they would request more investment from their respective headquarters.

"Okay, it's settled!"

Haruthil's eyes were bright. He didn't know that because of his selfishness, this impromptu meeting was called the "Miracle Contract" by later generations. As a result, the crazy rise of the Feishan region continued for two full years. In the next ten years, one-fifth of the empire's investment was continuously invested in the Feishan area. Even later economists could not explain the real reason for the formation of the Feishan area. Was it the emperor's unintentional act, or was it A miraculous door opened by the imperial merchants unintentionally

Because of the special policies adopted by the empire in the Feishan area and the large gathering of merchants in Feishan, the merchants here gained greater freedom and political rights than those in the interior of the empire. Fifty years later, , the true commercial autonomous city of Badya in the empire was born in Feishan, so that the merchant revolution storm that changed the entire empire 290 years later originated from Feishan! The empire dug a grave for itself, which somewhat made historians sigh. The empire killed 300,000 Feishan elites on the Bavaria Terrace, almost killing most of the men in the kingdom, and almost destroyed the country. Disappeared in the long river of history, this country finally stood up from the ruins and became the gravedigger of the empire.

Of course, the emperor himself, who is the source of all this, has no intention of thinking about this at the moment.

For the fat man, he never believed in any long-lasting dynasty. No matter how powerful the empire was, it would collapse one day. When a country was first established, it was naturally prosperous and full of vitality. As time went by, domestic conflicts began to escalate. gather , just like a house, there will eventually be one pillar that is overwhelmed and collapses first. As for which one, Fatty is too lazy to care. As the founder of the empire, he expands his territory, overcomes obstacles, and faces In the future, nothing can be done by looking forward and backward!

The establishment of the Imperial Bank itself was a new way of life for the fat man to open up for his descendants.

Even if the empire collapses, as long as the imperial banking system still exists, his descendants can still be the top people who control the pulse of the world. And this is also true. Two hundred years after the fall of the Falcon Empire, the descendants of the Dustan royal family are still the top financial masters in the world. The network that expands outwards with this family as the core controls immeasurable wealth and resources, and various members are distributed in the financial and political circles, affecting more than 60% of the world's countries to a greater or lesser extent. Known as the legendary family that controls the world!

In the casino villa area, the splendid front hall, every detail is very delicately arranged, fully displaying the beautiful, elegant and noble temperament. If it were not specifically stated that this is the casino villa area, most people would regard this place as a certain place. This is an exclusive villa for a big noble. The entire Badiya casino cost less than one million gold coins, but this casino villa area cost a full 1.5 million gold coins.

Even Audrey, who was born into a Feishan noble family, felt a toothache when faced with such expenses.

But this is the emperor's special instruction. The real profits of the casino come from the big gamblers. As a common problem of the rich, comparison is undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt. The more luxurious the villa area, the more it can highlight their status, and even The fat man wants more Please mark the top twenty best houses in the villa area with numbers. All gamblers who can live in the villa area do not need to spend a penny, but are determined based on their spending in the casino. In this way Who spent the most in the casino can be seen at a glance by looking at the number.

When Fatty's carriage entered the casino villa area again, the place had been cleaned and brightened by the servants brought by Audrey. It was much prettier than when it came a few days ago. The first time he saw Fatty's carriage, as the owner, Audrey appeared at the intersection ahead, looking like she had been waiting for a long time.

"We have sent someone to inform Her Highness Putamia, I believe they will come soon!"

Audrey brought the fat man to the villa where she lived. The floor was covered with thick wool carpets. The soft and comfortable feeling made people feel like they were walking in the clouds. On the top of the hall, there were seven crystal chandeliers like seven stars arching over the moon. , surrounding a large crystal chandelier with a diameter of one meter in the middle. The burning candlelight inside illuminates any corner of the hall as if it were daytime. The red There is only a long table in the middle of the carpet, covered with navy blue velvet, with Feishan's most famous roses placed on it. There is a faint fragrance in the air, as well as various exquisite snacks and Red wine over fifty years old was placed next to many exquisite bone ceramic bowls and plates, and pairs of pure gold knives and forks of various colors were engraved with the Hakara family logo. At first glance, it does not seem like a serious negotiation, but a casual tea time, or a friendly dinner. There are three armchairs next to the table. All covered with golden chair covers. It looks noble and elegant, fully demonstrating the unusual status of today’s participants.

"Pudamia has come to see you?"

The fat man's eyes swept over the grand decorations in the room. A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he vaguely sensed the problem.

Sure enough, when I asked Audrey, I learned that Putamia actually used the southern mineral rights to borrow three million from Audrey. I felt mixed emotions in my heart. The south of the Order Country is a mountainous area rich in minerals, and the price is three million. It's definitely worth it, but it has to be taken back from the Three Kingdoms before it can be useful. Putamia is a typical empty-handed white wolf. , he placed Audrey in the casino villa area. It seemed that he was sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. The fat man wanted to regret it, but Audrey glanced at the fat man and said cautiously, "Her Highness Putamia is not only with me, The family reached an agreement, and also cordially invited His Highness Ellensten to go to the Order Country to attend her temple ceremony."

"This woman..."

The fat man's eyes flashed. He wanted to say something regretful, but he had to swallow it when he reached his mouth. He felt the urge to vomit blood. What a ceremony. This was Putamia's blatant warning to herself that only she could help the empire. The royal family has escaped from the Feishan incident. As long as Allensteen follows her on a trip to the Order Country, then the theory that Allensteen was involved in the Feishan incident will be self-defeating! Allensteen will become a royal member sent by the empire to accompany him, instead of a bad person who interferes with the government affairs of a place without authorization. The gap here is very obvious. One is to allow Allensteen to gain political points, and the other is One is to completely ruin Alan Stine's reputation!

Under this situation, the Empire finally reached an agreement with the Order State. The Empire funded the Order State with two million imperial gold to restore the war, and sent royal member Aaron Steen to the Order State to attend the Holy Festival of Pudamia. A memorial ceremony was held in the temple to show the empire’s support for Pope Putamia. friendship, and another piece of news shook the entire empire, that is, the Hakara family, the largest wealthy family in the Feishan region, sponsored the Order State's three million imperial gold for the country's recovery. The little-known name of the Hakara family , taking this opportunity to get into the sight of the empire’s top brass,

The afternoon sun bathes in the urban buildings of Badiya, casting the city with a dazzling glow. The white pointed roofs look particularly gorgeous. The end of the Feishan incident not only did not affect the business atmosphere here, but it also glowed with greater vitality. The streets became more lively than before. There were sounds of shop decorations being carried out everywhere, and there were many people. Shops are newly opened, the streets are full of lucky business seals, and children are chasing each other as if they are celebrating the New Year.

"Who is this Nahazi who was executed? He was so courageous that he actually smuggled. All the major chambers of commerce tried their best to testify against him." "I don't know, I heard he was an important figure in the former dynasty!"

"If they are people from the previous dynasty, they will die if they die. The empire has pardoned them, but they are still stirring up trouble." A circle of people stood in front of the notice posted in the central square, commenting on the content of the notice. pointing

On the distant sea level, in the evening, at almost the same moment, two large merchant ships with special flags docked. The two merchant ships slowly sailed into the Badiya port under the guidance of the pilot. Some curious merchant ship owners and sailors could even see the special decorations on these two merchant ships, and some could even identify them as Dorok decorations.

After a while. Several beautiful and noble women got off the cruise ship. They were talking and laughing to each other in low voices. They were very intimate. They didn't seem to care much about everything around them, nor did they care about the curious eyes of everyone. It seemed that they had long been accustomed to being treated by others. A life that attracts attention. Behind them, there are also a large number of people and items

They are all tall women, their slender bodies covered under their coats, fully revealing their slim and plump figures, full of seductive and mysterious temperament. A poster of the Dorok Performing Troupe was beaten up,

"It seems like another performance troupe has arrived!"

"No wonder, why are there so many women!"

There were a lot of discussions around, but most of them were just curious rather than surprised. As the major chambers of commerce decided to expand investment in Feishan, Badya Casino was fully opened. In order to gain popularity, various performance groups came to Feishan area recently. There is also an endless stream. To most people, this is just one of the many performance teams arriving at Feishan.

After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, a pretty figure got off the boat. She didn't look too special in appearance. She wore a light white bamboo hat on her head, with fluttering ribbons hanging down around her face. Faintly visible. She was wearing a very ordinary light gray dress, cut to fit, revealing her slender waist and plump and round hips. At first glance, there was nothing special about it. Only those with a very careful eye could see the quality of the fabric and the handwork. It was exquisite, and at the same time, it was clear that this was definitely not a fabric that could be bought on the market. The woman only revealed the outline of the hazy face behind the veil, and her slender, jade-like pink neck. Others can't see her expression or her appearance clearly, but her every move reveals a natural and graceful posture.
