Chapter 671: Harvest era (2/2)
"To pay tribute to this harvesting era, to pay tribute to our long-term emperor, and to the diligent parliament and the wise scholars; the accumulation of the empire over the past ten years is like a long period of hard work, and at the moment it has finally produced fruit... really wonderful. Sentence, don't you think so? Master Daniel?"
Viscount Hemir sat in his favorite brown-red seat, raised the newspaper in his hand, and smiled at the opposite master of the magic, the most prestigious university student.
The scent of incense and scent is lingering in this gorgeous and intimate reception room. The spar device in the corner of the room is fluttering soft and soothing court music, the window not far away is open, but the floor is covered on the window. The shimmering shield filters out the unpleasant subtle soot smell in the air, leaving only the fresh and cool morning breeze blowing into the room.
Daniel sat in a relaxed position on the chair opposite the Viscount Hemir, and the artificial nerves came out from the hem of his clothes and stood honestly: "Habier Reston is an excellent grammar master. It is also a well-known poet. Even in the years when I lived in seclusion, I occasionally heard his verses spread. His Majesty the Emperor chose this master as the editor-in-chief of The Empire, and it is no doubt a wisdom. ""
"To pay tribute to His Majesty," Viscount Hemir laughed happily. He took the black tea on the small round table and lifted it slightly to replace the wine, then frowned. "The newspaper is really good... It is said that the kingdom of Ansu The Cecils first thought of this, but unfortunately, when I first heard the concept, I didn’t realize its role, so that the merchants without the taste and heritage of Polberg became The first investor of the Empire newspaper... so many parliamentarians in the aristocratic parliament now have to pay the merchant to promote their products, that is how much money!"
"Money is endless, Mr. Viscount," Daniel said faintly. "Exploring new things is more valuable than that."
"Ah, you said it is good," Viscount Hemir quickly converges with a complaint between the eyebrows, as if he was afraid of this "secular act" that led to the resentment of the intelligent old man in front of him. "I have always been keen to explore new things. For example, the magic train that was under construction recently, I am considering investing in it..."
"Train... The technology of Ansu, but it really has the value of investment," Daniel frowned slightly, seemingly uncomfortable when talking about some new technologies that he could not master, but nodded, "If you want to invest, it's better to move faster."
The Earl of Hemir tasted the other side’s words: “Is there anyone else competing?”
Daniel nodded slightly: "I have a gossip, don't be arbitrarily. I heard that the aristocrats in the south made up their minds to grab the qualifications of the two railways under construction. For this reason, they even picked up the group to raise funds. Borrowed a large sum of money from the Duke of Severn - that is the amount that can impress the emperor."
The Count of Hemir snorted and suddenly showed anger: "The rough South! They want to insert everything!!"
"This is no way, my friend," Daniel said with a calm face. Just like a real scholar, he calmly analyzed the flow of huge interests, but his heart was not moved by interest. "The aristocrats of the South Already because cotton has suffered a lot of losses, the north is full of new plantations. The cotton they planted last year has not been sold this year. Now the Cecils have come to repair the railway. If the southern aristocrats Can't catch this opportunity, they really have to turn over."
"Railroads...rails...the railways can't fall on those in the south!" Viscount Hemir was a very intelligent person, and because he was keen to explore new things, he always knew a lot about the cutting-edge new things, and naturally understood their respective The value of "they really want to control the railway in the north-south direction, even if they only get a certain priority within the scope of their permission, then the transportation of this line can be said by them! The Emperor’s Majesty will not be here. I am biased towards the north!"
“Yeah, they solved the problem of inconvenient transportation, which is the biggest reason for the loss of southern cotton in the competition last year,” Daniel helped analyze. “After solving or reducing the cost of transportation...you It is known that Mr. Viscount, due to the climate and soil, the cotton from the south to the yield is indeed stronger than the north, and the plantations in the north are simply not competitive."
"In the name of the **** of business! I just invested a large sum of money in the plantation of Count Dürer! I also called several friends!" Viscount Hemir could not help but raise the volume, his aristocratic demeanor. They were almost completely broken. "God, how can the Duke of Severn lend money to those in the South?"
"The Duke of Severn is a bank. Banks can't refuse legitimate loans." Daniel couldn't help but remind, "Not to mention that you know that the Duke of Severn himself was born in the South... he can't offend That strong lady."
"So I didn't want to get married - it would ruin the dignity of a man!" Viscount Hemir stood up, squatting back and forth anxiously, then suddenly stopped in front of Daniel. "Sorry, Master, look. I have to end this meeting ahead of time - this can be delayed. My personal loss is nothing, but I don't want to bear the anger of the partner."
"I can understand your mood," Daniel stood up, and the artificial nerve cord behind him squirmed and contracted. "And I should leave without saying it - my apprentice is still waiting outside. Before I leave, I suggest you Go to the Earl of Dule to discuss - his connections in the parliament can produce better results."
"Thank you for your reminder, you are really my mentor and friend," Viscount Hemir stepped forward and grabbed Daniel's hand and shook. "If it weren't for you, I don't know how many detours to go!"
Daniel smiled and accepted the gratitude of the revolutionary aristocrat, then waved his hand to the next coat rack, let the staff and robes fly into their hands, put them on themselves, and then left the residence of the Viscount. .
He came to the side of the road and took the carriage waiting for him. The female apprentice Mary sat in the car and didn't seem to have left.
After a while, a carriage with an emblem was driven from the main entrance of the Viscount of Hermione and hurried to the distance.
——Although Tifeng’s magic car technology has already achieved breakthroughs, practical vehicles have entered the sights of the upper aristocracy, but because of its priority supply of military and industrial construction, it has not been widely spread among the middle and lower aristocrats, and the carriage is still large. The choice of some aristocrats to travel.
Daniel looked at the street through the gap in the window, with a smile on his face.
Mary noticed this smile and couldn't help but ask: "Guide, you seem very happy?"
"Because I helped our Augustus all the next time..."
“Helped you a busy one?” Mary looked confused.
“Yeah,” Daniel whispered. “I helped him take some detours...”
