Chapter 588
Roger Yorder...If Loren is asked to pick out the list of the toughest enemies in Byrne, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Yord will undoubtedly be the first, even Ranked in front of the Governor of Byrne-because an expatriate Governor like Gaspar can be emptied, but the Chamber of Commerce, which holds the lifeblood of Byrne's economy, cannot!
As long as the opponent is still in Gaspar’s camp, the Torino family and even the count of Byrne can’t really treat the Governor...because they dare not be an enemy of the Chamber of Commerce. Even less dare to risk cutting off trade routes, losing financial resources and trade, and finally leading the people to riots.
All this is just nodded effort for the middle age person in front of me.
The black hair wizard raised his wine glass quietly, and the black hair wizard’s eyes deliberately showed some surprise and trepidation, and the rest of his sight did not leave his face for a moment.
A sound of applause came from the corner of the banquet, and from a distance, the beautifully-makeup female musician could be seen smiling and bowing to the surrounding guests.
"Your Excellency Loren Torino, you don’t have to doubt my intention." Old Luo Jie shook his head with a clear smile on his lips: "Don’t worry, I’m not here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Governor. I just want to make friends with you."
With a formulaic smile, Loren suddenly realized nodded.
Don’t believe in ghosts...
"Then...what do you need me to do for you?"
"Nothing...As I just said, just Make a friend; I am a businessman, and my friend will always be the more the better." Old Luo Jie smiled: "And...I think our relationship and position are very close, and we have common interests."
"What do you mean?" The black hair wizard frowned slightly.
"You support Charlotte Torino count, and I support Governor Gaspar; but hostility or reconciliation is the business of those adults. In fact, we supporters They are all doing the same thing-that is to do everything possible to build a strong Byr Duchy, and it must be Duchy with the Scarlet Blood Castle at its core!"
"oh?"
"At least on this point, Governor Gaspar and Charlotte Torino count should have the same idea-only with the Red Blood Castle as the core, Byrne Duchy is a strong and undivided duchy ; This is not just a historical reason, but an inevitable result." Without paying attention to Loren’s expression, Old Luo Jie each minding their own business opened the mouth and said:
"No matter what a ducky In comparison, Byrne is so huge that it has thirteen counts of equal strength, which is both good and bad; the good thing is that the territory is vast, so that Byrne's own wealth and resources can be self-sufficient, and There is no need to rely on the outside world;"
"The disadvantage is that once such a vast territory loses its absolute center and core, it is easy to split up; whether it is east-west or north-south, the dismembered strength of Byrne Both wealth and wealth will be greatly reduced, this is inevitable!"
"Therefore, as the capital of Byrne for thousands of years, the Scarlet Blood Castle has a pivotal position..." The gushing Old Luo Jie turned his head. Seeing Loren’s shocked expression, he couldn’t help but smile apologetically: "I’m sorry, but when I get older, I just have a problem that likes talking, you don’t need to pay too much attention to it..."
"no!"
Loren interrupted him suddenly: "What you said is very reasonable-if the Scarlet Blood Castle loses its core position, Byrne will be disintegrated with it!"
Old Luo Jie's eyes flashed A hint of surprise.
Talking about this step, Loren is already very clear about the other party’s intention-he is here to show that he wants to use himself to improve the relationship between the Governor's Mansion and the Torino family... or even go further, with the help of winning himself At the same time, he has a relationship with Brandon Desalion and has a place in the camp of the two princes.
on the surface to support one party, but secretly collude with the other party to buy... you really deserve to be a businessman.
But selfishness is selfishness, what he said is not unreasonable-the vast territory and rich land did create the prosperity of Byrne, but at the same time, it also made the various territories become independent... If such duchy does not have an irreplaceable and powerful core, it will definitely split!
Especially today, nearly a hundred years after the Torino family lost the title of duke...No one can be sure that other counts really don't have any ambitions.
"Then, how do you think the Scarlet Blood Castle can have the natural and irreplaceable dominance in Byrne?" Old Luojie asked tentatively.
The black hair wizard slyly raised the corners of his mouth: "Didn't you just say about this?"
"en?"
"Roads, commercial roads... or trade routes and transportation networks-only a road network with the Red Blood Castle as the core and connecting the entire Byrne Duchy can determine the position of this land that is absolutely irreplaceable!"
The voice fell, Old Luojie looked at the black hair wizard in shock, his expression seemed to have seen a completely different person.
Should I say...Is it worthy to be the only confidant of His Royal Highness Brandon? !
The expression of astonishment stayed on Old Luojie's face for less than one minute, and soon a gentle smile appeared: "But...this idea is good, but it is difficult to implement. "
"Let’s not talk about such a large-scale repair of roads, the wealth and resources consumed can only be described in hundreds of millions... Promise is also a hassle."
The thinking is tight and organized. Obviously he has considered this issue carefully.
"Yes, it is very important to persuade the counts in each territory. At the same time, the cost of repairing the road is not a small number." Loren smiled slyly:
"But...this Isn't that what you want?"
Old Luo Jie was stunned.
"Such a huge project, the influence on the entire Duchy is self-evident; large-scale construction also means large-scale procurement, which will inevitably attract more material merchants to come to the door. , It can also reduce the cost as much as possible, and if it is handled properly, it is almost a stable profit."
"As for the question of persuading the lord and the cost...the two are actually the same problem." Loren lowered his voice. Meaningful opened the mouth and said:
"As you said, the business people need friends most; and to do this...you need many friends."
Old Luo Jie looked thoughtful, and then lifts the head with a smile, and looked towards the black hair wizard in front of him: "Speaking of which...Do you agree with my point of view?"
"Not only that."
"Not only that?"
"Yes, I also found a very suitable and very capable friend who can help us to complete this history-enough Career." Loren opened the mouth and said lightly.
"If you say so, then I must see this friend...Is he here today?"
"Don't be nervous, it's already outside the door." black hair The corner of the wizard’s mouth smiled deeper:
"And...who said it was'him'?"
"en?!"
At this moment... …
"Bang--!"
The door of the palace hall was opened by the Knights, and a heavy and slow sound echoed throughout the hall.
Music, dance, cups and lanterns... All the sounds were silent for an instant, and everyone's eyes were all subconsciously looked towards the door, not knowing what happened.
"Wow...It's really a grand scene!"
The immature and childlike voice sounded from outside the door; and then into the hall, an incomparable Petite silhouette.
In the hall, absolute silence.
Almost everyone’s expressions showed a hint of confusion and curiosity; staring at the petite intently, step by step towards the silhouette of the female count.
Sit up on the steps, Charlotte Torino, with his head up high, showed a triumphant expression similar to that of a black hair wizard;
Only the little wizard, in The moment I saw that silhouette showed fear and astonishment in his eyes, and the slender and thin lovable body froze in an instant.
Why, how could it be her?
Why is it her? !
Just after the girl, a second person walked into the hall...a little red and black dress, and a pair of scarlet eyes under the white golden hair.
In the next second, the young man who walked into the hall put his hands behind his back, his clear eyes swept across everyone in the hall, and suddenly sounded with a little triumphant voice:
"Grandson of Archon Eboden, Miss Ariel Corona is here--!!!"
