The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure
Chapter 78
Xia Zuoyi held a stack of papers and handed them to Boris: "Please, please help me."
Boris took it over and flipped through a few sheets, and found that each sheet had the same pattern and handwriting. He asked, "This is...?"
Xia Zuoyi: "Flyer."
"The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce has a good reputation in the Anas Empire. I want you to send people in the name of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to the residences of various nobles in the empire to distribute these leaflets to them."
"I won't let you work for nothing, how much do you want?"
The pretty young boy frowned at Boris, and finally said jokingly, "Is one gold coin enough?"
There was a smile in Boris's deep lake green eyes: "Lord, don't be so stingy, at least two gold coins."
Xia Zuoyi said that he was just stingy.
After making a joke, Boris said seriously: "Did you see Tosi Cavendish at the port?"
Xia Zuoyi tilted her head in doubt first.
After a long time, he remembered that the person Boris mentioned should be the man who almost fell to the ground from the fright of the egg yolk. Afterwards, he asked the Grand Duke of Orville and was told not to worry.
"Isn't Cavendish the king's surname?"
Could it be that besides a grand duke of the empire, there was also a prince who came to the port to receive him?
Boris naturally heard what happened in the port at that time.
Whether it's a large fleet that breaks through the water one after another, or a beast that makes people exclaim and frighten...
Until now, the discussion about Designia has not stopped in the royal city of the empire. People are always talking about the fleet that almost filled the port and the soldiers guarding the ship...
Boris recalled the final result—little Zoe was picked up by the Grand Duke Achiayoli, and he couldn't help but feel a little delicate.
He entrusted the grand duke to take care of little Zoe because he lived in the castle before, but he didn't expect that little Zoe would be taken care of into the mansion of the other party as soon as he arrived in the empire...
"Tosi Cavendish is the king's illegitimate son, a marquis." Boris said, "The person His Majesty sent to greet you is he, not Grand Duke Achiayoli."
Xia Zuoyi was a little surprised: "Oh, no wonder the Marquis wanted to stop me at that time."
He also wondered if there was anything wrong with the other party.
Boris: "Beware of Tosi Cavendish."
"The letter I delivered to you half a month ago did not clearly state that the reason why you received the invitation to the queen's birthday dinner was because Tosi entered the palace."
"He really wants to get the secret recipe of sugar in your hands."
The king of the Anas Empire did not pay much attention to the queen.
Otherwise, there would not be many lovers, and the illegitimate child born by the lover was also placed on the table without any concealment and blatantly, without any regard for the queen's dignity and thoughts.
The royal family of the Anas Empire complained a lot about the king's behavior, but they were often evaded by the king with inappropriate reasons.
When the king's love affair became a joke in the empire and there were more and more mistresses, even the queen ignored it, and members of the royal family gradually gave up mentioning it.
Boris didn't know what to think of, the lake green eyes became deeper and deeper, even the faint smile on the corner of his mouth was pursed, and the air pressure of the whole person dropped a lot.
Xia Zuoyi: "Thank you, Boris."
Boris sighed: "I have clearly warned you in advance, why did you come to the Empire?"
"Do you know how many wolves, tigers and leopards are here waiting to carve up everything you own, and it may also affect your territory."
Xia Zuoyi: "But I have to come."
"The benefits brought by the appearance of white sugar are too great. There will always be such a day, Boris, I have to face it."
"Then are you ready?"
Xia Zuoyi's pretty eyebrows turned into crescent moons: "What do you think?"
As the largest chamber of commerce in the Anas Empire, the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce controls the economic lifeline of the empire to a certain extent, and has many connections with the upper-class nobles.
The status of the leader of the Chamber of Commerce is comparable to that of a marquis, and he is treated courteously among the nobles.
Therefore, when a member of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce handed a piece of paper that was said to be a flyer to the noble's attendant, the attendant did not dare to throw it away at will, but chose to bring it to the nobleman, and the nobleman decided.
The leaflets introduced in detail the delicacies made of white sugar, fashionable clothing, etc., listing the names and making descriptions, and there were brightly colored specific patterns printed on the side, which instantly attracted the attention of the nobles.
I almost wanted to throw it away, but now I hold it in my hand and take a closer look—lemon candy, rose candy, sugar painting... New clothes and costumes from the territory of Designia...
The propaganda worked.
The interest of the nobles was successfully aroused.
And the place where these things are sold is at the port of one of the royal cities, and the active nobles can't wait to get a carriage and plan to take a look for themselves.
After all, they've also heard about why His Majesty the King throws such a big birthday party for the Queen.
This is sugar!
Who can not be moved by this, and do not want to keep it for himself.
How could a small foreign lord hold the secret recipe for making a large amount of white sugar without attracting prying eyes.
Even if they can't get it, the secret recipe of white sugar should be owned by the empire!
Now Designia is selling food made of white sugar without any concealment, which is not a small amount of courage.
For a while, when the leaflets were all distributed, there were more horse-drawn carriages rushing to the port.
And people have a herd mentality. When they see surprising scenes, they can't help being curious and follow them to see what's going on or what's going on.
Therefore, no matter how remote the location of the port relative to the imperial city is, when the news spreads to ten, ten to hundreds... not long after, the place will slowly become overcrowded.
The empire's market was opened.
The port is divided into a food area and a clothing area.
The walks in the clothing section were almost exclusively women, and they couldn't resist the allure of these beautiful new gowns.
Clothes sold in the clothing section are not allowed to be tried on.
But the style and size are complete, if you like it, buy it, if the size is wrong, you can choose a tailor to modify it.
If you are an aristocrat, there is no shortage of tailors in your family.
Customers who want to buy only need to report the size of the shoulder width and waist circumference to the tailor to get the appropriate clothing size recommended by the tailor.
Xia Zuoyi brought a full range of dresses and accessories, almost occupying the entire cargo volume of the cabin.
Clothes are divided into high-end and cheap.
The style and version of high-end clothing are rarely the same, and changes are made in details.
Affordable women's long skirts have many of the same style, color, and style, with a large number and a large number of sizes. Exquisite ornaments, hats or scarves are placed around them to match the new style of long skirts.
After all, the woman is shy to report the waist circumference data and so on.
Therefore, in the clothing area, the soldiers also built a closed clothing room, with a curtain drawn around it, and the nobles could be followed by their maids to measure the waistline data, etc., and then whispered to the tailor's ear when they came out.
Commoner women don't have so many worries, they can take measurements by themselves or their female companions.
Some bold women even took measurements in front of the booths right away, showing off their fine figures generously.
The clothing area is constantly stocking up.
The soldiers carried the boxes off the ship, and then carried the empty boxes back to the cabin, adding a few more pages to the ledger.
Xia Zuoyi didn't stay in Orville's duke's mansion all the time, but returned to the boat to look at the scene below. After confirming that the clothing area was progressing very well, he found a suitable place to stare at the food area.
The number of people here is much less, and most of them are dressed in rich and dignified clothes.
There is a sweet smell in the air in the food area, which can't help but attract people to stop and watch in front of the booth.
Tosi stopped in front of a stand that was making lemon drops.
He watched the three guys pour the boiled syrup from the cauldron into the iron plate surrounded by the edge, add an appropriate amount of lemon juice into it when it was half-cooled, and then put on clean and soft gloves to knead and mix it...
The process of making it alone can attract people to stare intently. The price of lemon candy is written on the wooden board standing next to it, and a piece of knuckle-sized lemon candy costs five gold coins.
Tosi stared, "Isn't the price of a piece of lemon candy a gold coin?"
The manager in charge of maintaining security in the area said with a smile: "My lord, you don't know that the price of one piece of candy and one gold coin is in the territory of Designia."
"Our lord deliberately brought the white sugar from the territory to the empire. The hard work, protection costs, and transportation costs along the way... were all included in the five gold coins, which is already very cheap."
"In order to let the people of the empire taste the delicious food made of white sugar, our lord came here with great sincerity."
"These five gold coins must be a small amount for you. If you buy a box directly, it will be cheaper..."
The steward tried his best to sell according to the lord's instruction: "Just now, a Marquis lord bought two boxes of lemon candies back home, oh, this Marquis lord is right next to the rose candy booth..."
Tosi had a cold face, staring at the steward with cloudy eyes.
However, the steward smiled decently, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
The location of this port has been completely leased by the lord from the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, and there are soldiers guarding every place, especially the stalls in the food area.
They are guests from afar, not to the point of tearing their face apart, even if the nobles of these empires are dissatisfied, they will not indulge in trouble.
So the manager is very calm.
"It seems that His Majesty didn't give you enough money. If you can't afford it, please get out of the way and don't get in the way." At this moment, a deep male voice came.
Tosi's face darkened instantly, and he turned around.
Standing behind him was a man with a small beard and curly blond hair combed back. He was handsome and about 30 years old.
He was also a marquess like Tosi Cavendish.
But the difference is that Tosi obtained the title in the name of the king's illegitimate son, without any real power. This man named Darnell is the heir of the family and serves as the finance minister in the royal city.
Darnell has always been disgusted with Tosi.
The mutual hostility between the two is well known in Wangcheng.
Tosi just wanted to taunt back, but his eyes fell on a jar of rose sugar held in Darnell's hand - the jar was made of stained glass, cylindrical in shape, only half the size of a palm, with a beautiful logo on the body, and Write the name and source, etc. in cursive characters.
Tosi didn't look closely, but was attracted by the rose sugar inside, which was a darker red color than roses, surrounded by sugar stains, which was really attractive.
Darnell noticed his gaze, raised one corner of his mouth and said, "This small jar of rose sugar is really not expensive, only thirty gold coins. If the Marquis likes it, he can also buy a jar."
He had bought lemon candy before and planned to buy two more boxes.
Tosi's forehead twitched uncontrollably, he kept his expression on his face, and raised his chin slightly: "Don't worry, I haven't bought my lemon candy yet."
Darnell gestured, please.
In the end, Tosi reluctantly spent a hundred gold to buy a whole box of lemon candies, and then went to the stand selling rose candies.
Darnell took a step forward, but suddenly raised his hand to take off his hat, and gestured to Xia Zuoyi who was leaning against the side of the boat in the distance.
Xia Zuoyi was a little puzzled, but nodded.
He watched the man who had just talked to Tosi buy two boxes of lemon candies and turned away, planning to go back and ask the Grand Duke later.
Xia Zuoyi said softly, "How is the rose perfume going?"
Judith: "Ten vials have been made, but they have not been used on humans. I don't know how long the fragrance will last..."
"Someone bring me a bottle..."
Xia Zuoyi paused and said, "I'll try it first."
"Yes, lord."
Boris took it over and flipped through a few sheets, and found that each sheet had the same pattern and handwriting. He asked, "This is...?"
Xia Zuoyi: "Flyer."
"The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce has a good reputation in the Anas Empire. I want you to send people in the name of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to the residences of various nobles in the empire to distribute these leaflets to them."
