Chapter 25
Chapter 25
We changed a groom, and to be honest that one did nothing wrong.But I am a motion sickness party. After Athena, who is also a motion sickness party, found out, she lent me her royal coachman.I was so grateful that I cried bitterly, there are really very few people in this world who suffer from carriage sickness!
Nicole in the carriage looked out the window with a slight smile on her lips, which made us all smile a little. "Yo~ Little Nicole is in a good mood?"
Nicole showed her white teeth, looked at the sky and said, "I never thought that the sky could be so beautifully blue. I didn't take a close look at the things around me. I just kept rolling in my social circle. But I thought about it." Think, as a son of the Nolan family, what have I paid for the Nolan family?
Just like Athena, even if she is only a side branch, she is still working hard for the family business, so that those of us who come after us will have a better future.Thinking about it, I was really selfish, thank you for coming to Desac Town specially, and let me discover other things in life that should be cherished more. "
Melanie smiled: "It's good that you finally figured it out! It will definitely pass, maybe Charles will be eager to ask you to remarry when you go back!"
Nicole turned her face away and proudly said: "Huh, it must! But I don't want to accept him, no matter how much he kneels and knocks, I won't be with him again, right? Viscount!"
I nodded with a busy smile. Going out for a walk with Nicole is one of the reasons, but the main thing is that I don't think this matter seems simple.The Nolan family is a long-established family, what kind of storms have they not seen?However, these things seemed to make them helpless and powerless to resist, so that day I went directly to the Earl of Aberdeen's bedroom to have a long talk.
It is really easy for an old noble family to solve some troublesome matters, but the cautious attitude of Patriarch Nolan is quite subtle.
There are only two possibilities for this. The first is that the other party is someone who is too big for him to touch. This is hardly considered!As I said before, the business of the White family is almost all based on the Nolan family, so there is no problem of being bigger than the Nolan family; the second possibility is that the Nolan family is afraid of something, And Aberdeen's attitude of agreeing to let me help also shows that the matter cannot be handled by the Nolan family, but it can be handled by me.
This is likely to be a matter of the power balance of the nobles. Each family has its own power, and the empire will also care about the power of each family, especially the Nolan family, which is an old family, even if it is not the top. However, he has a solid foundation and a wide range of wings. Patriarch Nolan is a person with many good relationships, and he has many noble friends around him.His handling style and character are similar to those of the Earl of Aberdeen. They are both low-key and pragmatic people, which are different from my high-pitched mischievousness.
And this kind of nobles all have a characteristic, they are either weak enough to keep their territory and can only suppress their sense of existence to the minimum; or they are strong enough to fight against the empire but return themselves to the armor Tian, to show people who have no rebellious heart.
The Earl of Aberdeen and the head of the Nolan family are likely to be the latter, so when these problems happened to the Nolan family, the reason why he was frowning was because he could not solve these problems with a high profile. Solving these problems would make the empire face them again !Just like the auction house incident in Desac Town, it is actually quite easy to solve this matter directly. He only needs to kick Athena out directly and change his cronies, but they can't do it.
By doing this, they are telling the empire that they want to monopolize the trade auction.Relationships are such a wonderful thing sometimes, the more you don't have the heart, the more you get.
Hammer spoke at this moment: "Garrett, where are we going next?"
"Hammer...I'll forget you if you don't make a sound! Go out and call Mr. Vido to come over."
Hammer looked dead fish-eyed, and he said in a low voice: "I don't want it, isn't there Lawrence? According to the position, according to the position, there are so many girls present."
"No, my Lawrence is tired, here is based on age, anyway, you can't talk about our youth." Poof!The audience snickered, indeed only Hamer's age was out of place.
Hamer: Cold violence!Garrett, you are cold and violent!Even if I'm not young, my heart will be hurt... blah blah...
Nicole and Melanie covered their mouths and laughed: "Barry, why do you and Baron Hammer know each other so well?"
I blinked and recalled all the past, I said: "If you get to know him, you will find that he is a very simple and lovely person." I smiled.
In the end, we squeezed into the same carriage, and Mr. Vido said, "Your Excellency, I just received the business traveler's urgent report at the halfway station. There is a report on it that I think I must let you read."
Business Travel Express is a businessman's newspaper, in fact, it is a nationwide regional report. Businessmen will see what happened in their hometown in the report. Usually, there is a happy event or a problem.
He pointed to the corner of the newspaper, the bottom line.
[Lucas Wheat Town has been invaded by bandits. It is expected that the current wheat harvest will be poor, which will affect the supply of beer. 】
Nicole and I looked at the report in bewilderment: "What's wrong?"
Vido's face was serious, "This wheat town of Lucas is in the northeast of the empire, and it is also under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Nolan, but the point is that this wheat town is engaged in export business! He has the most famous wheat beer in the country.
According to the tax law, since the business is exported, the import tax of other countries is already paid and the pressure to provide a quality product is assumed.Therefore, it is particularly lenient in terms of taxation, and this also makes this wheat town the biggest economic pillar of the Nolan family! "
Nicole was shocked: "Ah! So, this is shaking the foundation of our family? This year's income will not be good?"
I shook my head: "It won't be more than a year. There will definitely be a substitute in the middle. If the substitute is widely accepted, then Wheat Town will be finished. But since this can become the foundation, it should be stable. Those who live by the river are waterproof, and those who stay by the mountain guard against bandits, they should already have measures to prevent bandits, right?"
Mr. Vito looked at me appreciatively. "That's the thing! It's unreasonable! Especially in this situation, I'm sure there must be something special going on."
The Nolans also had to come and solve the following problems:
1) Bandit Invasion in Lucas Wheat Town (Northeast) Urgency: Priority
2) The city wall construction homicide in Shante Town (northeast side) urgency: minor
3) Urgency for the Women's Revolution (East) in Sousse: Priority
What a headache!The women's revolution in Sousse is also very urgent, but the bandit invasion must be done!
"Why don't we split up, and the women's revolution is more appropriate for the two of us?" Nicole suggested.
I shook my head, these two are rich and famous!How dare I?I can guarantee that if I let them out by themselves, I'll have to go see Melanie's father the next day. THE Beloved Madame!
Mr. Wei Duo thought for a while, and said, "I'll deal with bandits and construction murders. I should be able to solve them by myself."
At this moment, Hammer hurriedly dragged me and Lawrence out of the car, and the three of us squatted together, Hammer looked very nervous: "I tell you, you must go to Mr. Vido, our travel expenses are all spent! "
Ah?What the hell are you doing, Hamer!How can you not leave any travel expenses, we are going out this time to do business?I immediately groped every part of his body, turned over his silver bag, shit!You only have 200 Buffy coins left? !
Hammer looked at us and said seriously: "Either you go out, or you go to Mr. Vido, I tried to get my salary that day, and the earl has not released the seal, I am so sad! I will not pay any more money."
The three of us looked at Mr. Wei Duo in the car together, and then came back with malicious intentions.
Me: "Mr. Wei Duo, we are companions. I don't think it's good for you to go there alone. After all, you were specially sent by my fiancee to go with me."
Hammer: "Mr. Vido, bandits are very dangerous. As nobles, we cannot allow business travelers to go to places where the situation is unstable. Protecting business travelers is protecting tax revenue! We have a duty to do so."
Lawrence: "Let's just say it, this can't last long. Mr. Vido, we are out of money, please let us get close to you."
Crowd:......
Mr. Victor: …
Nicole and Melanie turned their heads away, and they kept smiling secretly. She and Melanie said something with a smile, and looked at me from time to time.
You can laugh as much as you like, I will never be labeled as not belonging to my personality for the rest of my life, I got off the bus at the halfway stop, wrote a letter to Michael, and asked Michael to help me find the parish The priest first took a look at the women's revolution in Sousse City; at the same time, I wrote another letter to Miss Xiaohe, the content was a lot of rainbow farts, and then asked her to help me make solid wood arrows.
It didn't take long for us to reach the town of wheat, oh oh! !A feeling of deja vu came, a group of townspeople rushed towards us with knives and sticks...
Hamer, is this your town?Why is the quality of the townspeople so low.
Facing thousands of horses, it only takes a second, Nicole hides behind Melanie, Melanie hides behind me, Lawrence protects me, he uses Hammer to block, Hammer finally pulls Vido Sir, Mr. Victor was taken aback.
Have you ever played the game of Eagle and Chicken?It doesn't matter if you don't!We have!
"Mr. Vido, Nicole is right behind you, don't shrug! Try to communicate with them?"
