Chapter 127 Gordon’S Statement
Babur despises in his heart, come on, I don’t know who said before that the place of hope will become a place of despair.
However, he couldn’t really say it. After all, now Fatty Ge affectionately calls Lord Ross a ‘likable friend’.
Just when he didn’t know what to say next, he heard Gordon continue on stage: “Since I’m a friend, I can’t be too shabby. In this way, isn’t the land of your hope developing? Presumably It must be very short of money, otherwise, it would not have come up with such a precious thing as black powder to sell.
On behalf of Wuqiucheng, I support you with 50 million gold coins and speed up the development of the Land of Hope! Together with the gold coins of black powder, a total of 100 million gold coins, you all help me bring them to Lord Ross. ”
When Babur heard Fatty Ge’s words, he stood in the hall in a daze. He didn’t understand what was going on. What did Lord Ross say in that letter, so that Fatty Ge, who was known as the iron hand of accumulating money, could give away 5,000 yuan at once. million gold coins.
Moreover, the previous contemptuous attitude towards the Land of Hope was also a 180-degree turn.
Right now, his head was full of shock and the spectacular scene of 100 million gold coins being loaded on a carriage. It was estimated that it was a long-looking motorcade.
To be honest, in the dozens of minutes he entered this hall, he was more shocked than the first half of his life combined. Already shocked, his thinking couldn’t keep up with the development of things.
But Gordon didn’t know that the poor foreign trade officer was stunned because he had not seen the market. He thought that the diplomat of Ross was waiting for his answer on the second matter.
Gordon thought to himself, this Ross really has two strokes, he is quite accurate, and even 100 million gold coins can not change his face. I think I might be qualified to be my ally in the future.
The second thing in the letter was called the lack of people in the Star Pavilion, but it was actually a test of Gordon’s attitude.
In the empire, the Hall Master of the Star Hall has always been served by the Truman family. It can be said that the Star Hall of the whole continent is actually a chess piece that the Truman family monitors all over the world.
The reason for this is to start with the founder of the empire. When the empire was just established, many places just succumbed on the surface, not to mention that there are local big families in every place.
In order to prevent further turmoil in various places, the founding emperor set up the Xingxiang Hall under the jurisdiction of the Xingxiang Pavilion. The Xingxiang Pavilion is in the imperial capital, and the Xingxiang Pavilion is distributed in each territory. The personnel dispatch of the Xingxiang Pavilion is personally appointed by the Xingxiang Pavilion.
When the founding emperor was still there, the Xingxiang Pavilion was so powerful that it jointly governed the territory with the local lords.
Today, over time. The Star Pavilion has long been out of the control of the royal family, and was tightly held by the Truman family. The influence is not as big as it used to be.
However, the deterrent power is still there. Although there is no administrative power, the supervision power of Xingxiang Pavilion is still there. If the lord of a certain place deliberately rebelled or disobeyed the order of the palace, almost all of them could not escape the eyes of Xingxiang Pavilion.
And he, Fatty, has been stumbling over the Xingxiang Pavilion openly and secretly over the past few years, and slapped his face. Anyone can see that he is obviously dissatisfied with Xingxiang Pavilion.
If you dare to do this in a territory near the capital, I am afraid that the next day, you will be assassinated by the ‘dead elephant’ of the Star Palace and then corpse on the street.
Fortunately, Wuqiucheng is located in the southwest corner of the imperial capital, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and is the farthest place in the entire empire from the capital.
The so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the meaning given by the Truman family in the Star Palace is also that as long as Fatty Ge doesn’t completely tear his face, he will pass by on the bright side. The Xingxiang Pavilion without Qiucheng should be endured, and there is no shortage of this place.
Now that Fatty Ge saw Ross’s letter, he immediately understood that Ross had also given his hand to Lord Xingxiang. It’s just that the other party is very secretive, and the Star Palace has not noticed it yet. I mentioned this specifically to confirm my attitude towards the Truman family.
Fatty Ge had also tested the attitude of the great lords around him to the Truman family before, but the result was that he kept his mouth shut, for fear that if he said a word more, he would be heard by Truman who was far away in the imperial capital.
At that time, he lamented how the world is full of these timid people, and none of them are on the table.
Now that he finally has someone who can catch his eye, how can Gordon not be excited. So he immediately gave Ross fifty million gold coins as support.
And the first thing Ross said in the letter, if nothing else, was enough to greatly increase his battle strength in Wuqiucheng.
A substantial increase in the strength of the army is something that every careerist dreams of.
He said to Babur, who was ‘incomparably calm’ in front of him: “Also, help me tell Lord Ross that the zodiac pavilion in my place is also a waste of food and sleep. I really don’t have the face to let them go out and shame. Do it for me. Say sorry.”
Babur listened to Gordon’s words, and his mind was inexplicable. Why did you start talking about Xingxiang Pavilion again?
However, he quickly thought that it was probably mentioned by the lord’s secret letter, so he stopped thinking about it.
He replied: “Okay, I will definitely convey it.” After pondering for a while, he said, “Mr. Gordon, why don’t we get down to business now, I have other tasks on my hands.”
What he said was serious business, that is, take gold coins first. After a series of shocks, Babur finally calmed down. If he didn’t get the money, it was just empty talk. Gordon, who happened to be in front of him, seemed very happy, and he took the gold coin into his hand first.
And Gordon also understood what he said~www.readmtl.com~ and said with a smile: “Okay, let’s go.”
After speaking, he walked out, and when he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and trot back to the main hall.
Babur thought that he had temporarily regretted and wanted to delay, and was about to ask questions. But he saw that Fatty Ge pulled out a paper bag twice the size of the usual envelope from nowhere.
Fatty Ge took the paper bag to Babur and said, “This is a gift I brought to Lord Ross as a friend. Please pass it on to me. I believe he will be satisfied.”
Babur took the paper bag suspiciously and said in his heart that the two people really had a tacit understanding, and they could give each other a gift that was just satisfactory when they met for the first time…
“By the way.” Gordon said, “How many escorts have you brought? 100 million gold coins is not a small number, enough to turn many people into desperadoes. Do you need me to send troops to **** you?”
Babur was stunned and said, “Are you going to pay all the money in one go? Aren’t you afraid that we will break the contract?”
“Don’t be afraid.” Gordon said with a smile: “In the situation of Lord Ross, he will not have trouble with his own reputation for such a small amount of money.”
