Lisbonto, Castello del Sol

The spring breeze in April blew from the sea, and the sky in Lisbon showed a scene of blue sea and sky. A black carriage drove along the winding mountain road and drove into a villa on the top of the mountain.

A pretty figure stands on the steps of the villa. She is wearing a purple dress, her wavy hair is flying in the wind, her eyebrows are slanted into her temples, her eyes are as black as paint, and she is full of energy. She can make anyone look at her with a glance. The man is smitten with love. Coupled with her delicate and white skin, which is like being carved from flawless white jade, who can not feel amazing? It is Sokuttus Stellan,

This is the secret residence of Sokutus Stellan in Lisbonto. Except for a few close friends, almost no one knows that the person who bought this old villa on the top of the mountain is Sokutus Stellan, known as the Queen of Business. , seeing the carriage stop, Sokutus Stellan quickly walked over and opened the door. Watching the emperor get off the carriage, he asked with interest on his face, "That How about the crown prince of the Martin Liya people? ""Haha, luckily you didn't go, otherwise you would have been disappointed. Now I know why the Martin Liya people clearly have the ability to become the most powerful country in the south, but they cannot become the most powerful country in southern Europe. The reason why Barrow is the leader of the nations, if it were me, I would be willing to trust the Ero people more." The fat man stretched out his arms and hugged Sokutus, Stellan rushed over. After coming to the body, Yu Paikes's conversation with a sigh on his face was repeated. When he heard that the purpose of Crown Prince Martin Liga risking great risks to come to the empire, he actually hoped that the empire could help him hold back Harvey and the people. The main force of the Ikar people allows them to launch raids into the hinterlands of the two countries. Even Sokutus Stellan, who has seen too many strange business wars, has red lips and a slight smile. Opening up, with an expression of disbelief. "Now you know, Martin Liya people have no concept of allies in their hearts. As long as it is profitable, they will abandon their allies without hesitation, or even bite them back." Fatty pulled Sokutus Stellan entered the office on the second floor of the villa and sat on the armchair with the beauty in his arms. "Has Your Majesty agreed to Crown Prince Martin Liya's request?"

Sokutus Stellan stood up from the fat man's arms and came to the window gracefully. She opened the window with her white hands, graceful and full of intoxicating charm.

Outside the window of the office is the huge city outline of Lisbon overlooking from a high place. The streets are densely packed like spider webs and spread into the distance. Blue ribbon-like inland waterways flow in the city. In the distance, the horizon is blue. You can have an unobstructed view of the sea from here. The reason why Sokutus Stellan bought this place is because it is quiet enough.

There is only one old servant cleaning the villa on weekdays. It is quiet in the sea of ​​clouds on the top of the mountain. Here you can even see the beautiful scenery of Lisbon. Even the first ray of sunlight projected from the eastern sea every morning shines on this mountaintop. The villa on the top of Lisbon is therefore also known as " Sunlight Castle "When this villa was put up for auction, it was almost broken by many wealthy businessmen in Lisbon. However, what everyone didn't expect was that the military also took a fancy to the military strategic role of this villa and made an offer. A lookout post was built here, and other wealthy businessmen lamented the military's waste of natural resources.

With the military's statement, no matter how arrogant and domineering Lisbon's wealthy businessmen were, no one dared to stand up and bid with the military.

In the end, it was bought by the military at the lowest cost price. Of course, the sentry tower was not built in the end, and the villa was directly labeled as a military property. In order to rectify Lisbon Toto, the military forces were ordered to withdraw from Lisbon Toto. Vasilion was very disappointed. Generously transferred this place to the name of Sokutus Stellan, Because Varisien knew very well that giving a gift to Socutus Stellan was equivalent to giving it to the emperor. The emperor would definitely rest here in Lisbon when he came to Lisbon, and he was very close to Socutus Stellan. If you build a good relationship with the Business Queen, at least you can save a lot of money by purchasing logistics for your legion.

I have been to Lisbon twice recently, and this is where Fatty stayed.

It is very convenient here. It can even be seen that Varisien forcibly bought this place as the emperor's palace. At the entrance of the mountain road leading to the villa is the outpost military camp built by Varisien. It has more than 100 buildings. Fifty barracks are enough to accommodate 500 to 1,500 people, as well as all the accompanying Imperial Guards. It is quite generous, not to mention that there is only one mountain road leading to the villa on the top of the mountain, but there are six checkpoints along the way. Why do we need so many checkpoints for each small lookout post? The guards only need to seal the entrance, and the entire villa is covered. It's absolutely safe, unless someone can climb up from the cliff, which is a rock wall with a height of 300 meters.

In the afternoon, Tiernarant walked into the villa. He respectfully placed an investigation report in front of the fat man. Under Sokutus Stellan's sudden blow, the chambers of commerce almost collapsed. , other chambers of commerce in Lisbon Toto learned that the Imperial Bank was investigating Lisbon Toto and which chambers of commerce had trade relations with those chambers of commerce. After hearing the news about the relationship, businessmen in Lisbonto were frightened and announced that they were severing ties with these chambers of commerce. Finally, under heavy pressure, the six chambers of commerce headed by the Blue Chamber of Commerce came to find them as the emperor expected. Lisbon requested the Government Office, and Tirnarante also happened to appear at the Government Office. After learning that Tirnarant had been promoted to After the empire became the Chief Administrative Officer of the South, these chambers of commerce were like drowning people grabbing a lifeline. Under this situation, it was much easier for Tillnarant to figure out the secrets of the major chambers of commerce. "Your Majesty, it has been basically investigated clearly that among the six chambers of commerce that monopolize trade between China and Libya, the wife of Rodri Su, the president of the Blue Chamber of Commerce, is Ma. Ding Liya, the Blue Chamber of Commerce is also the one who proposed to seize the goods. Although the other party is still unwilling to fully say it, at least judging from the current situation, it is confirmed by the Martin Liya behind the Blue Chamber of Commerce. ""This It’s a bit interesting. The Martin Liya people who always despise businessmen actually own such a large chamber of commerce in Lisbon.”

The fat man picked up the report, glanced at it, and said in a solemn voice, "Originally, I suspected that the other party's goal was to divert trouble to the east and kill Crown Prince Martin Liga in Lisbon to achieve a certain purpose, but from the report Look, that doesn’t seem to be the other party’s purpose. At least Spike is still alive and kicking.”

"If it's not against Crown Prince Martin, then what is the other party's purpose?" Tiernarant also looked confused. "Haha, if it's not against Crown Prince Martin, then it's against Bonnie Berlant." The fat man glanced disdainfully at the corner of his mouth. After a moment, he stood up and came to the window and said, "If Anthea dies in Lisbon, Berlant Bonnie will definitely pursue it with all her strength in anger, then she will definitely be able to investigate." "It turns out that the Song fleet is actually the Long family fleet. This is very serious." After all, this waterway is under the control of the Northern Army, but now there is such a big flaw. The Long family has always been the empire. The target of the most precautionary measures has now allowed the other party to blatantly cross the range of the Congolese Army and come to Lisbon to purchase restricted items. Bertrand Bonnie’s Confederate Army must be blamed no matter what! At that time, the Blue Chamber of Commerce and other six chambers of commerce will use this to request the Congolese and African Northern Army to increase restrictions on the China-Biya trade route. Although it cannot prevent other chambers of commerce from entering this trade route, it will delay the approval time and drag it on for several months. , it may not be possible to do it." Fatty Eyes The light flashed and he sighed, "In the final analysis, the Yelu family is far away in Central Asia. Although the business opportunities are good if the whole territory is opened, no one can grow wings and fly there. If the Northern Army does not allow them to pass, the Yelu family will not be allowed to pass. It’s buy one get one free, I’m afraid I can’t even buy it! Rather than leaving a large amount of money and manpower hanging here for several months, and ultimately having to pick up scraps from a few major chambers of commerce, it would be more realistic to switch to other business routes! In this case, not only will these chambers of commerce not suffer heavy losses due to this incident, but they will also make a huge profit because the Yelu family does not collect taxes! "These chambers of commerce are really damned. They don't hesitate to resort to such despicable means for their own selfish interests!" "

After listening to the emperor's words, Tiernarant couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning. He had to admit that the plans of these chambers of commerce were quite ruthless. If Bonnie Berlant really agreed, it would at least be enough to offset the fact that Yelu The earthquake caused most of the impact because during those few months, these six chambers of commerce had trade passes and could still travel between China and the Empire.

A few months were enough to carve up all the most profitable places in Yelu. When other chambers of commerce arrived belatedly, they discovered that the remaining profitable places were basically nothing! Naturally, some chambers of commerce could not bear to retreat and retreated despite the difficulties. In the end, it was still the monopoly of a few large chambers of commerce!

"Do we need to control all these chambers of commerce?" Tiernarant's already slightly gloomy face showed a hint of ferocity.

"No, not only don't control them, but you should also support them!"

The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Tiernarant's slightly astonished face, and said, "The Lisbon Government should show strong support so that the Imperial Bank of Sokutus Stellan can make a concession." Only the Northern Army could reluctantly agree to slow down. Only those with strong teeth will grit their teeth and persist in signing the trade certificate! "Why does your majesty still act like this when he knows that the other party has a problem?" Tiernarant felt a chill behind him. From the emperor's tone, he said It seems that I have seen a huge conspiracy brewing,

"Why else, of course, I want the masters behind these chambers of commerce to be willing to pay for it!" The fat man laughed and said, "Although the Yelu family is not very good, it is after all the main producer of Sino-Bian products. In order to be able to To control all the wealth of the Yelu family in just one or two months, the capital investment required by the other party will be astronomical. The six chambers of commerce that are already struggling will still have such financial resources. The only thing he can do in the end is to ask for help from his backstage, especially the Blue Chamber of Commerce, which provides a lot of wealth to Martin Liya every year, so Martin Liya will not let this hen who can lay golden bullets die easily. The last resort is to invest a lot of money and gamble! When the opponent thinks they have won, the Confederate Army suddenly relaxes the restrictions. Do you think the Martin Liga people will jump? "" I understand!

Tillnarant listened to the emperor's talk in stunned silence, and felt a chill in his back. What does it mean to be cruel? This is the real ruthlessness, killing invisible, such a huge loss of funds, and also involving a Blue Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid Martin Liya is not as simple as jumping on the ball, the emperor has made it clear that he wants the other party to use the past Everything you eat is spit out,

Two hours after Tiernalante left, the Lisbon Government Affairs Office suddenly announced that the Azur Chamber of Commerce and several other chambers of commerce named by the Imperial Bank would be specially selected for their great contributions to Lisbon in the field of commerce and trade, their integrity and reliability. Several chambers of commerce promoted to dedicated suppliers to the Government of Lisbon

When the news came out, the whole of Lisbon was shaken again

No one could have imagined that several chambers of commerce that were destined to be unable to turn over would now receive strong support from the Lisbon Government. The Government even put forward a completely different evaluation from the Imperial Bank, saying that they were honest and reliable. How on earth could this happen? What happened? Just when everyone was still confused, the Imperial Bank suddenly withdrew the document that had been posted two days ago. Even the Imperial Bank, known as the behemoth, chose to compromise. This was no longer a shock, but a major earthquake.

The businessmen in Lisbonto were almost excited. Although they were dissatisfied with the long-term monopoly of several chambers of commerce in China, they saw that just one announcement from the Imperial Bank almost caused the collapse of several large and powerful chambers of commerce overnight. Other chambers of commerce also felt dissatisfied. It’s a feeling of despair, but now, the Imperial Bank has finally met its opponent, "Lord Tiernarant is worthy of being my patron saint of Lisbon. With Lord Tiernalant here, the Imperial Bank is nothing. Mr. Tyrnarant is the chief administrative officer of the southern part of the empire. She has stepped into the ranks of the kingdom's important ministers. That woman is just a businessman at best! "The Lisbon Government Administration has shown its face in a big way this time. There are all kinds of things. The flattering words came in like a flood. This unexpected support made the presidents of several chambers of commerce extremely happy. Several presidents of the chambers of commerce proposed to jointly hold a banquet to cleanse Lord Tiernalant, but The fat man waved his hand to stop him,

"I accept your kindness. It is my duty as a political officer to protect merchants." Tiernarant expressed his support for several chambers of commerce. "This is Lisbonto, the commercial capital of the mainland. If even merchants cannot be protected, then How can you have the dignity to claim to be the political administrator of Lisbon?”

On the fifth day, there was a roaring sound outside the city of Lisbonto, and a black line came towards Lisbonto from a distance.
