At this moment, after listening to Viscount Wayne's question, and looking at the other nobles who were almost listening, Katerina chuckled lightly, and then replied without any scruples,
"Probably because I can help His Majesty solve the problem of devil disease?"
Devil disease? !
At this moment, the moment the girl mentioned this word, the faces of all the people present quickly completed the transformation from doubt, incomprehension, and finally to sudden understanding.
Everyone knows how much trouble the devil's disease has brought to the Pusid Empire. If it is true as Katerina said, she can help the empire solve the problem of the devil's disease, then it is really worth the sacrifice of the emperor of the Pusid Empire. a promise.
With this answer as the foundation, the authenticity of Katerina's words soared instantly. In the conference room, more and more people began to believe that what the girl said was true.
The question now is whether Katerina can really solve the devil's disease, and how to solve the devil's disease.
Then, just as everyone was continuing to listen with their ears upright, Katerina suddenly fell silent, and when everyone turned their eyes to Viscount Wayne, hoping that he would come out and ask again, they found that the old man seemed to be the same as Carter. Linna reached a certain consensus and fell into silence.
A moment later, facing the bewildered nobles, Katerina suddenly smiled and waved her hand, announcing to everyone that the meeting was temporarily over, asking everyone to go back and think about whether they are willing to provide support for her next plan.
Quite a few people feel dissatisfied with this style of appetizing, but they are more powerful than others. In the end, they can only follow the girl's request and go home to think about what to do next.
It didn't take long for most of the participants in the conference room to leave the hall. For a while, the conference room seemed empty, but some of them didn't leave.
"Viscount Wayne, you are staying alone, do you have anything to say to me?"
At this moment, looking at the old man who was smiling at her, Katerina narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about what the other party wanted to do.
As for Katerina's reaction, the old man suddenly smiled cunningly,
"Miss Katerina, the old man stayed here to tell you that you forged that letter very well, but there are still some flaws, which can be discerned by a knowledgeable person."
After the voice fell, the conference room instantly became silent. Katerina stared at the old man in front of her. After trying to suppress the surprise in her heart, she began to quickly think about the purpose of the other party's trip.
After a while, realizing that the other party was probably a friend rather than an enemy, Katerina, who finally regained her composure, said faintly,
"Who are you from?"
"Hehe." Seeing that the girl could react so quickly, the smile on the old man's face became wider, and then he responded softly,
"Princess Hill asked the old man to say hello to you~"
Princess Hill!
Hearing this name, the girl's expression suddenly relaxed, and then said angrily,
"So you belong to her, why didn't you tell me earlier."
"Forget it, besides saying hello, what else did she ask you to say?"
Facing the girl's question, the old man responded with an unchanged smile,
"Princess asked the old man to tell you that you mentioned to her in your letter your great plan to industrialize Port Chris, and she decided to take a big gamble."
"At present, the princess has raised [-] gold coins for you, as long as you need it, you can withdraw it at any time."
One hundred thousand gold coins!
At this moment, after hearing that Princess Hill had raised such a huge amount of wealth for herself, no matter how cold Katerina was, she couldn't help but be moved by the other party's trust.
You must know that one hundred thousand gold coins is equivalent to nearly two and a half years of tax revenue for the entire kingdom. Such a huge wealth, even for the princess, is by no means so easy to raise.
But now, the other party gave her the right to use this wealth so easily, it was tantamount to entrusting her fate to herself. It was hard for a girl not to be moved by such trust.
So, under the gaze of Viscount Wayne, the girl was silent for a long time, and suddenly said with an extremely serious expression,
"Go back and tell the princess that she is not taking a gamble, but a journey to a land of abundance."
"Although the road is full of twists and turns and thorns along the way, the future must be bright!"
"In the end, she's going to get what she wants...I promise!"
At this moment, when he heard the girl's words as if swearing, Viscount Wayne silently remembered it in his heart, and after nodding his head, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly reminded him in a serious tone,
"Miss Katerina, what do you plan to do with the people you summoned?"
"The old man knows that you want to integrate their power, but the old man must remind you that those people are not easy to get along with. In many cases, they are not only useless, but also a drag."
"The reason why Marquis Aaron made big mistakes is largely because of their wrong orientation. I hope you don't make the same mistakes. After all, if you lose in the end, you will not be the only one who fell into the abyss."
Facing Viscount Wayne's kind reminder, Katerina was slightly taken aback for a moment, then smiled calmly,
"Viscount Wayne, you've said it before, even a piece of waste paper can be useful, not to mention those who have a lot of idle resources, how can they be useless?"
"You know, those people are a very important part of my plan."
Hearing the girl's answer, Viscount Wayne seemed to be aroused, his eyes flashed brightly,
"Excuse me, I'm really curious, how do you plan to use them?"
As for Viscount Wayne's curiosity, the girl smiled mysteriously and said,
"It's very simple. I plan to set up a company. As long as I join the company, none of them will escape from my bowl!"
72 Chapter 69
When the first ray of summer monsoon crosses the Rootsside Sea and blows hotly to Chrishamn, the sea breeze blowing in the port begins to mix with a little hot breath.
At this moment, in Baker Street on the southernmost side of Port Cross, a woman in ragged clothes slowly woke up from a leaky wooden house, and the moment she woke up, a strong sense of hunger rushed to her In his head, it seemed that every cell in his body was protesting.
After feeling the discomfort from her body, the woman did not try to find food in the house to satisfy her hunger, because she knew very well that such actions were futile, and there was no edible food in the house she was in for a long time. something.
After lying quietly on the dilapidated wooden bed for a long time, it seemed that she had finally accumulated some strength. The woman supported her body and slowly sat up from the bed. Then, she stood up and staggered towards a nearby quilt. Go to the wooden box that serves as a dining table.
There was no food on the wooden box, but there was an old kettle, and some water was stored in the kettle. After the woman entered the wooden box, she picked up the kettle and began to drink water in large gulps until the kettle only had its own weight left. Only reluctantly put it down.
Afterwards, the woman touched her slightly swollen stomach, where there was a constant sound of bang-dang-dang after the water flow collided with the stomach wall, and with this movement, her body seemed to be deceived, and finally dispersed temporarily. signal of hunger.
Feeling the gradual receding of the hunger, the woman took a deep breath, and after looking at the empty room, she left the room without nostalgia.
And the moment he just went out, a strong fishy smell came over his face, which was also mixed with the stench of various filth and decay.In this regard, the woman walked towards a certain direction without changing her face, but she had just stepped out when she felt a slippery feeling under her feet. When she looked down, it turned out that she had stepped on someone's excrement and urine at the door of her house , Immediately afterwards, a high-pitched sneer sounded in her ears, with a strong sense of malice and sarcasm in her voice.
Facing the current encounter, the woman's expression did not change at all, she just casually kicked her feet in the open space, and then continued to walk towards a certain place.
Obviously, the woman's indifferent reaction made some people fail to achieve their goals. They were very upset about this, so the laughter turned into waves of malicious insults, and it seemed that the insults were deliberately heard by the woman. The volume is not low, and the woman can even clearly hear those vicious words... "dirty", "cheap", "degenerate", "shame", "cousin"
Hearing these vicious words, the woman still didn't react, as if she had already gotten used to it, she lowered her head and continued walking. However, the moment she lowered her head, there was a faint darkness surging in the depths of her pupils .
The woman's name is Winnie, and she is different from ordinary people. She has a very special occupation----sex worker, generally known as a prostitute.This extremely disgusting profession in the eyes of the world is the source of her tragic fate.
Like the human civilization in Katerina's previous life, the profession of whore has a very ancient origin, and it can almost be said that it was born with human civilization.
There are many reasons for women to become whores, but the particularity of the profession of whores means that except for a very small number of mentally abnormal people, most women do not have the subjective will to become whores.
From a macro point of view, most of the reasons for the formation of the profession of prostitutes are that women lack the ability to survive independently, and the social system they live in does not provide corresponding protection mechanisms, which ultimately makes those who have suffered bad luck Women who are treated fairly have to sell their bodies and become prostitutes.
Winnie is not a person with mental problems, so becoming a prostitute is not her chief official's will. If she had a choice, Winnie would never be willing to degenerate. However, the distorted social system and unfortunate family background are common in her life. An iron curtain of fate was cast above her head, locking her tightly in the abyss, never to be reborn.
"May the gods forgive your sins......"
I don't know how far I have gone, the dirty and messy buildings on Baker Street have been left behind by Winnie, and just when she was breathing a sigh of relief, a solemn prayer suddenly sounded in her ears .
After hearing the sound, Winnie turned her head subconsciously and found a small church near her. At the door of the church, a priest dressed up was greeting the people who came to worship.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Winnie lowered her head instinctively, as if afraid of being discovered by others.
Winnie doesn't believe in gods, it's not that she doesn't want to, but that she doesn't deserve it. In the heaven created by gods for human beings, there has never been a place for such blasphemous things as prostitutes.
The cruel world has already told Winnie that the gods will never have mercy on whores, and from the moment she is forced to "degenerate", her fate can only be to rot into dregs in a dark corner.
Finally, after trotting faster for a while, Winnie finally left the area where the church was located, and after looking back in the direction of the church, Winnie quietly disappeared into a nearby alley.
A while later, outside a relatively remote tavern, Winnie stared at the closed tavern door in a daze.
Because the drinks sold in this tavern are relatively affordable, it attracts many sailors to come here for consumption, coupled with the remote location, it is very suitable for some shady transactions, and Winnie came here to find "jobs" of.
Since becoming a whore, this tavern has barely been the place where Winnie works.Because the clients are all sailors, and the particularity of sailor work, these men at sea have always disliked saving money, and they are relatively generous, so that for quite some time in the past, Winnie's life was not bad, at least most of them You can have enough food and clothing all the time.
However, with the destruction of the Second Fleet of the Kingdom, Kahneman, the pirate king, blocked Chris Port, and a large number of merchant ships no longer docked at Chris Port, causing the economy of Chris Port to stagnate.
The rapid deterioration of the general environment made Winnie's life quickly become difficult. There were fewer and fewer customers in the tavern, and more and more competitors. Winnie's income was getting lower and lower, and finally she couldn't even eat degree.
Today, Winnie was hoping to try her luck with her last hope, but unexpectedly, the tavern was closed.
At this moment, looking blankly at the tavern with the closed door, Winnie's pupils were empty, this poor woman didn't know what to do, she seemed to be waiting for her future, only to starve to death, or be inspected for stealing The officer was hanged.
And at the next moment, when this poor woman was in the confusion of life and death, a panting greeting sounded behind her,
"Winnie, why are you here?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Winnie looked back subconsciously, and then she found that the person who spoke was actually the owner of the tavern, a man in his 50s.
At this moment, this man was holding a few large wooden boxes stacked together, and while walking, he looked at Winnie like an old acquaintance. Unlike other people, this man did not have contempt or contempt in his eyes, and some were just careless.
After seeing the man, Winnie opened her mouth instinctively, then stammered,
"Mr. Victor, is your tavern closed in the future?"
Hearing Winnie's inquiry, the man named Victor first put down the wooden box in his hand, and then said in a relaxed tone,
"Well, the situation has changed recently, I have found a new business, and this tavern is closed."
In response to Victor's response, Winnie bit her lip, then smiled shyly,
"Then...then congratulations~~"
"Don't rush to congratulate." The next moment, before Winnie finished speaking, Victor waved his hand and teased,
"Winnie, you're here looking for a 'job', sorry, I can't help you anymore......"
Having said that, seeing the darkness in Winnie's eyes, Victor suddenly smiled strangely,
"However, I have a job here. I don't know if you want to go."
Work? !
Hearing a certain word from Victor's mouth, Winnie's gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, and then she subconsciously asked,
"What job? Can I?"
In response to Winnie's urgent inquiry, Victor took out a piece of paper that looked like a leaflet from the wooden box, then pointed to the text on the paper and said slowly,
"Not long ago, the inspection team came to me and posted this announcement, saying that the nobles are going to recruit a group of workers, and it is stipulated that they can only be women."
"I don't really know what kind of job it is. Anyway, the pay is very high, and it may be dangerous."
