Chapter 71 The arrival of the duke

It is already spring on the island in March, and the temperature is rising quickly. Henry is sitting in the lobby listening to Hawke’s report. Since the beginning of the spring, many people have come here to live and live in the Angkor Islands. The large number of people has brought many security risks. According to the report, recent fights in the city have occurred from time to time. Most of the reasons are because the original residents look down on new immigrants, thinking that they have not participated in the construction of the territory and should not enjoy the same rights. At present, he has no good way to solve this problem. He can only step up patrols and wait a few years to solve it.

Just as the two were discussing, a messenger ran in from the gate. He walked to the hall and knelt down on one knee and said to the two of them: “Master Earl, Master Sir, Duke Anta Silvershield is coming soon, and the watcher on the lighthouse saw the flag on his fleet.”

There was a smile on Henry’s face, and the duke finally came. He said to the person kneeling on the ground: “You did a good job, go down and receive the reward.” The messenger stood up and bowed before leaving the hall with the butler.

Hawke touched his meticulous hair and said: “It seems that we will have a large amount of gold in the account soon. I hope that the Duke’s fleet is big enough, otherwise it can’t hold so many spices in the warehouse.”

Shikodi walked in from the door and she smiled and said to Hawke, “Sir, you underestimate my brother. I bet he must have attracted a lot of businessmen to join the group, otherwise there is no way to recruit with his strength. So many ships.”

Henry looked at his wife and said, “I hope he won’t take credit. I’m dying of poverty now. The construction of the mage tower almost spent all my savings.”

Hearing these words, Shi Koudi laughed and said: “Oh, my dear, if I remember correctly, you also received 450,000 gold coins from the Seven Suns Alliance last month. If you are still poor If that’s the case, then how do we people who only have a few thousand gold coins a month live. You are right, Sir Hawke.”

The old captain stood up and bowed and said, “Madam, this is a more difficult question to explain. This is like the difference between a hundred gold coins for you and an ordinary person. Maybe it is just one thing for you. A beautiful piece of clothing or a piece of jewelry, but for ordinary people, that is a lot of money that can change their lives. The same reasoning 450,000 gold coins may mean a lot to you, but it may be for the earl. It’s just a few magic trials or the cost of making a few alchemy items.”

Shi Koudy’s eyes lit up and he looked at Hawke and said, “What you said is really great. I never found out that you are still a philosopher. This really surprised me Sir.”

Hawke bowed slightly triumphantly and said, “Your compliment makes me very honored.”

Henry sat aside and covered his face with his hands. He felt that the two of them were acting on stage. But it seems that all the nobles around here are talking like this.

He hurriedly interrupted the two people’s mutual admiration and said: “My dear, your brother is coming soon. Should we go to the port to meet him? And you and my jazz, as the mayor of the city, don’t you think you should Is there a welcoming ceremony?” After hearing his words, Shikoudi immediately ran upstairs to make-up and change clothes, while Hawke stood up and said thank you for your reminder and walked out. Twenty minutes later, three men and a hundred guards came to the pier.

As soon as the Duke’s ship arrived at the port, he got off the ship and hugged Henry and Shikoudi and said, “Hello Count Angome, I’m so glad to see you. And you and my dear sister, seeing you now I feel relieved.”

Henry smiled and said: “Welcome to the Duke of my territory, first get in the carriage with me and return to the lord’s mansion. We will discuss other things when we get home.” Anta Silver Shield nodded and followed Henry into the carriage. Under the **** of the guards, the group returned to the lord’s mansion.

As soon as he walked into the hall, the Duke couldn’t wait to ask: “Earl, I heard that your territory has already started selling spices. I wonder if you have saved my share.”

Henry sat down and gestured to the butler to serve some drinks, and then said to the Duke: “I only sell half of it to the outside world, and the other half is kept in the warehouse. I don’t know if the Duke has the ability to take them all.”

Anta Silver Shield took a sip of wine and said, “It needs to look at your inventory. I only brought six ships with me this time. I don’t know whether to install it or not.”

Shi Kodi stood up and said to Henry: “My dear, let me accompany my brother to the warehouse.”

Henry nodded and said to his wife: “Then you brothers and sisters can just have a chat, but remember to come back for dinner earlier.” Shikoudi stood up and took the Duke to the warehouse where the spices were stored.

On the road, Anta. Yindun said to his sister: “Shi Koudi, is your married life happy?”

Shi Koudi looked at his brother and said, “My marriage is very happy. You have chosen a good husband for me.”

The Duke smiled and said: “Then I can rest assured, but I want to remind you that it is best to give birth to a male heir as soon as possible. Only in this way will your position be more stable. You must know that a man like him will have a lot. **of.”

After hearing these words, Shikoudi frowned and said: “You don’t have to worry about this matter. This is the private affair of the Angomi family.”

Anta Silver Shield glanced at his sister in astonishment and thought: I didn’t expect that the cowardly Shikodi had changed so much after marrying her. It seems that it is impossible to get more benefits from her in the future. . The two people didn’t say a word to each other again, so they kept silent all the way to the warehouse.

The guard at the door saw that it was the countess and bowed deeply and hurriedly opened the door. Seeing the pile of spices inside, the Duke of Spices took a deep breath of the air here. He gently grabbed a bit with his hand and put it in his mouth to chew and said: “It’s really a fine spice, less than a year after drying. , It’s so fragrant. I want all of these goods. Let’s talk about the price now.”

Shi Koudy glanced blankly and said, “Then let’s go back to my husband now, he has always made the decision for large trades.” After that, he turned and walked out. The Duke stood awkwardly and hesitated for a while before following out. It didn’t take long for the two to return to the Lord’s Mansion. When they walked into the hall, Henry saw his wife’s expressionless face and thought: It must be Anta Silver Shield who said something upset her.

He stood up and said to the Duke: “How about it, my goods are not bad.”

Anta Silver Shield smiled and said, “I want all the very good spices. Now we should talk about the price. What do you think of 600,000 gold coins.”

Henry glanced at his wife, and Shickedi shook his head slightly. He smiled and said to the Duke: “I think the price is a bit low, you know I can make more by selling it to other merchants.”

Anta Silver Shield thought for a while and said: “Then six hundred and fifty thousand gold coins, if there are more, I won’t be able to get cash.”

Henry waved his hand and said: “I think it would be better to pay a one-time deposit of 400,000 yuan, and then we will use sales sharing.”

The Duke’s eyes lit up when he heard these words: “This is a good way. I think it’s fairest.”

Henry shook his head and said, “You are too greedy, my duke, four or six, I am six and four. You must know that there is no other place to grow spices in the entire west coast except me.”

Anta Silver Shield thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: “Earl, you are such a greedy devil, well I agree. Let’s sign the contract now.”

Henry asked the butler to draft two contracts and took them over. The two signed each other’s names after seeing the confirmation. The earl breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I will ask someone to deliver the gold coins tomorrow morning, and I should be able to pick it up in the afternoon.”

Give the contract to his wife Henry, who is beside him, nodded and said, “Yes, you can pick up the goods anytime after the gold coins are shipped. But I think you’d better hire some workers at the dock, otherwise the sailors on your ship are the only way to go so far. I’m afraid it’s not enough.”

“Thank you for your reminder, I will hire a porter in advance.” The Duke replied.

At this time the butler came over and said to Henry after a salute: “Earl, dinner is ready. May I have a banquet?”

Henry glanced at the Duke and said, “Let’s have a banquet, I think the Duke must be hungry.” Then one dish was served on the table, and a total of twenty different delicacies were placed neatly.

Anta Silver Shield took a surprised look and said, “Earl, you are so costly. These expensive ingredients cost hundreds of gold coins once at Baldur’s Gate.”

Henry made a please gesture and said: “You are welcome, Duke, these are our specialties here. There are a few dishes specially prepared for you, and you won’t be able to eat them if you leave here.” After that, everyone started to enjoy them. Had a great dinner. Throughout the meal, Shi Koudi kept a stern face and said nothing, UU reading www. uukanshu.com makes the atmosphere on the table very weird. After eating a little, the Duke avoided the exhaustion of his journey, and Henry hurriedly asked the butler to take him to the guest room to rest.

After Anta Yindun left, Shikoudi angrily said to her husband: “My brother is too much, he actually wants to interfere in our housework. And he also satirized me for not having a child.”

Henry stood up and pressed his shoulder to his wife and said, “Don’t be angry, my dear, these are some small tricks often used by nobles. It’s no surprise that these little tricks can become a joke at any time as long as we continue to stay strong.”

Shikodi took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little bit. She looked at her husband and said, “You better let my **** brother disappear from our territory, otherwise I will get angry when I see him. ”

Henry looked at the childish Shikoudi and said, “I promise to let him take the goods and get out as soon as possible after receiving the deposit tomorrow. Rest assured that I will make him disappear from your sight for up to three days.”

Shi Kodi nodded and hugged her husband tightly and said: “We have been married for a year, why am I not pregnant yet. Is there something wrong with me?”

Henry touched his wife’s hair and said, “Don’t worry, neither of us has any problems. Don’t forget that I am still a druid. If I have any symptoms, I will send it out as soon as possible.” Then Henry I stayed with my wife for two hours until Shikodi fell asleep, feeling a little depressed.
