Chapter Six(2/3)

The fat man was Rabel's immediate head of Marquis Farrul, the Director of the Judiciary and Marquis Mag, the Director of the Supervision Office.

All three of them were guests invited by the Duke of Auburn because of his polite relationship, and they were also unpopular guests.

"Everyone was talking so vigorously just now. We won't say anything as soon as we come. I guess we hindered your conversation." The fat man said with a smile, but his tone made people feel uncomfortable.

Earl Manfir quickly explained: "Just just now, Earl Medin was giving advice to Mr. Legge how to make the newspaper prosperous and attract more readers."

The fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that the Meiding family has made achievements in this regard. I originally thought that only the capital city had newspapers."

"Marquis Farour, you misunderstood. The newspaper is also a new thing for me. I just told Mr. Legh from the standpoint of a merchant that they would pay for what kind of news the merchants needed."

"Ah, if I guess well, it will definitely be news that can allow merchants to gain more wealth. If you really have such news, why run a newspaper? Can't investing in business get greater benefits?" Marquis Faru replied immediately.

This companion was so quick that everyone was surprised. Ruibo thought for a while and said: "If you want to succeed in a business, you can not only have accurate information. The extensive connections and long-term foundation are not something you can have in a short period of time. What's more, the tricks of doing business also require a long time of training to have it. If you don't have a tough background and rashly enter the unfamiliar business field, you will most likely lose all your money."

"What you said is indeed reasonable, but how much money can you make by selling news? I don't know anything else. I'm afraid no one understands better than me. I'm in charge of Frank's most expensive department." The fat man touched his chin and said.

Ruibo pretended to look up to the sky and kept reaching out his fingers to count.

Suddenly, he turned his head and said, "I calculated it roughly. If I could do it, I would be sure to earn one million gold Francis every year from merchants in Southport."

This number is obviously much beyond everyone's expectations.

Marquis Faru and Marquis Manfir are not superficial figures, and often sign the amazing bill without hesitation, but one million gold coins are still a little too large for them.

The obese Marquis Faru even seemed to be a little unsteady. He sat down on the chair next to him, and looked at Ribo with suspicion and asked, "Earl Medin, you are wrong. One million gold coins are equivalent to one-third of the total taxes paid by Serthborg every year."

The words of the Marquis of Farule made others believe that the little heir of Sethburg were just talking nonsense. Only Eckert shook his head and said, "Mr. Farule, you don't know that the losses suffered by Nangang every year due to inexperienced information are far more than this number. According to normal calculations, merchants can obtain at least the same profit as their capital. However, in fact, few people can do this and have half the profit. It is quite satisfactory for Nangang merchants. But even so, it is still difficult to do it. Once a large-scale transaction changes, it will be huge losses. There are countless merchants who spend all their money every year. If those merchants can avoid such a terrible disaster, they will never be too stingy. One million gold coins are only a conservative estimate, which is only 10% of the profit."

If everyone still has some doubts about Ruibo, after all, his age cannot give others absolute trust, but Eckert is completely different. In the eyes of the nobles in the capital, he has long become a representative figure among the shrewd merchants in the south.

Not only was the Marquis of Farror frightened, but the others were also deeply attracted by the discussions between Eckert and Rebbo.

Even a person like Label who was rarely moved, found a chair and sat down.

Eckert knew very well that now should be a great time for Ruibo to perform. Before Ruibo arrived in the capital, Eckert had already spent a lot of energy to inquire about everything in the capital.

The results of the inquiry made him extremely satisfied. The officials and many wealthy families in the capital, whether they prefer the king or the elders' house, were able to enter some means and be bought by Sersi Fort.

Every family in the capital was salivating about the wealth of Franx in the south and the rare treasures transported from there.

Those more enlightened families had already intervened. The dozens of wealthy families who forced Count Robert to commit suicide in despair in Serthborough came from these enlightened families.

Before leaving for Franck, Eckert received instructions from Mr. Hyde to try every means to turn Franck into the second Fort of Serth, so that all the departments and all the officials in the capital would be closely tied to the interests of Franx South.

Everything I did at Sethborough back then proved that this approach was successful.

This is not just Mr. Hyde's meaning, but also the meaning of Mail Dowfen and the Southport Business Federation. For this reason, they have already prepared generous "gifts".

Without Eckert's sign, Rebow immediately said: "Mr. Faruel, I just told everyone here about how my guardian Mr. Hyde avoided a huge loss and even gained huge benefits from it. This is entirely because Mr. Hyde has detailed and reliable information."

"Franck is thousands of miles away from Nangang. Along the way, it may not only be robbed by bandits, but the bad weather will also make everything unpredictable. However, all this is not the most feared thing for merchants. There is nothing more terrible than being unable to sell goods. However, this kind of thing happens often. The bulk goods transported from Nangang to the capital, such as porcelain, silk and spices from the East, glass from Yilei, fur and horses from Xibai. When they landed in Nangang, there may be a gap between them. However, when they entered the capital through long land transportation, they might arrive at the same time."

"In this case, merchants often lose all their money. Porcelain and glass are easy to break. The warehouses that store them are expensive to rent. Silk and spices will lose their original colors over time. Fur and horses are even more difficult to store."

"And they are so expensive that a large amount of money is accumulated on them, and it will be an extremely terrible thing if they cannot get it out smoothly."

"But, Lord Faru, you should have heard the saying that opportunities often live next door but you don't knock on the door. Although everyone listens to this saying, how many people can really knock on the door?"

"Not only that, someone can provide reliable information to those desperate businessmen who are hiding opportunities behind the door. I believe that no matter how stingy the businessman is, he will become generous."

"It is actually not difficult to do this. Lord Faru, you should have a lot of experience in this. As long as you have enough staff to watch every valuable door, you know everything about the people entering and leaving the door, and their situation. Things in this world are often surprisingly similar. Do you think this is the case?"

Everything Ruibo said made everyone present suddenly realize.

The editor-in-chief patted his hands and said excitedly: "Oh, dear Count, you should really make a bronze statue for you. For the words just now, Your Majesty should give you the title of scholar and master, and receive the honor you deserve just like Duke Auburn. What a great theory. You should propose Duke Auburn to add a discipline to your theory to the academy."

From the editor-in-chief's mouth, words of praise poured out like a rushing river.

Although they felt a little exaggerated when listening, Ribo's shrewdness made them incredible.

Although there have been various rumors about the little lord of Serthburg in the capital, the rumors are that the little Count was originally a shrewd person, and as a descendant of the merchant, he has maturity and shrewdness that is incompatible with his age.

However, Ruibo's performance just now made everyone here even more stunned.

Everyone couldn't help but guess that the prosperity of Serthburgh might not be unreasonable. If the first few patriarchs of the Medin family were also such smart figures, then it would not be a strange thing that the South had such a huge wealth.

In addition to the editor-in-chief, the two senior officials who are deeply trusted by His Majesty the King were also deeply touched.

In fact, no one can grasp the meaning of Ribo's words more deeply than them.

As Ribo said, what they usually do is to send their subordinates to find out the news, but before that, they were concerned about the dangerous people who threatened His Majesty the King's safety.

Unlike his obese appearance, Marquis Faru has a flexible mind and is able to climb to such a high position now, so he is naturally smart and unique.

He seemed to have seen himself lying on a mountain of gold coins, enjoying the pleasure brought to him by wealth.

What made Marquis Faru full of confidence was that the Legal Affairs Bureau he managed had the most stringent intelligence network in the capital.

Although the Ombudsmanship and the Cabinet Legal Supervision Department also have their own independent intelligence networks, their size cannot be compared with the Ombudsmanship Department.

The Marquis of Farule never thought that he had such a huge wealth.

If the following eyeliners pay attention to the transactions of merchants at the same time, wouldn’t the world’s great wealth be pouring into its pockets continuously?

Thinking of this, Marquis Faru looked at the Director of the Inspectorate next to him.

Seeing that the Inspector General was also thinking, Marquis Farror deeply regretted that he should not have dragged this guy here together.

Such information should be enjoyed by yourself.

Isn’t the income of one million gold coins a year richer than those families with rich mineral deposits in those territories?

Like the Marquis of Faru, Marquis of Mag is also dreaming of becoming rich.

Marquis Mag was convinced of everything that the young heir of Sethborough said.

Because both in the Office of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the Office of Law and Political Science have recorded extremely detailed information about the little lord and his guardian Lord Caveelle Egret Hyde.

Although there are many speculations about the identity of these people in the information, there is one thing that is undoubtedly that these people are all smart and incredible.

In addition, those documents record in more detail what orders have been issued since the little Count controlled Sethborough, and how objective the orders have brought to Sethborough.

What made Marquis Mag most excited in the information was the narrative about the acting lord Earl Fesnan.

Almost everyone in Sethburg knew very well that the acting lord was a complete coward, but it was this despised coward who gained the greatest wealth after the little Count controlled Sethburg.

These wealth were obviously not bribes given to him by merchants from Nangang. Even in the eyes of officials in the capital, this guy had no bribe at all.

The reason why he has such considerable wealth is only because he can get the moon first when approaching the water. Every time the little Count makes a decision, he will do everything possible to let his family get involved.

It is precisely for this reason that this idiot who does not need to do things and has a weak personality has gained considerable wealth in just a short time.

The idea of ​​cooperating with Sethborough suddenly jumped out of his mind.

This was originally an unimaginable thing for him.

In the capital, it is not only the only family to which Count Robert belongs to dream of annexing the Castle of Serth.

Most families have wanted to get a benefit from it, but no one has ever thought of working with Serthborg.

For them, this is an unrealistic idea.

In their opinion, all Serthborg needed was to earn gold coins in their pockets, but they had nothing to offer Serthborg.

Now suddenly, a road covered with golden coins was revealed before him.

For a moment, Marquis Mag felt dazzled.

One million gold coins were also an unimaginable amount for Marquis Mag, and the amount assigned by His Majesty to the Inspectorate every year was not so huge.

However, Marquis Mag is also very clear that if he is the only person to hear this news, then there may be a great possibility that he will cooperate with Serthborg, but Marquis Faru is by his side, and the Legal Affairs Office has more capital than the Supervisory Office.

The Supervision Office only has a very small intelligence network. Compared with the huge intelligence network of the Law and Political Department, the inspectors are just helpers who are helping. In fact, the real situation is indeed the case. How much reward can the helpers get?

Thinking of this, Marquis Mag quietly glanced at Marquis Faru and happened to see Marquis Faru "smile" smiling at him.

While the two marquises had their own thoughts, the attendants came over to invite the guests who were still chatting in the small garden, and the dance officially began.

As the master, Count Manfir diligently led the way forward, while the two worried marquis fell far away at the last side of the team.

The Duke of Auburn's mansion has a huge ring ball hall.

The Francis VI era did not pay attention to natural light, so the ball hall was completely closed and there was no window at all.

There is a door open in each of the four directions of the hall.

The door is exquisitely carved and beautiful.

Unlike the south, the decoration and layout of the capital do not advocate bright and crystal-clear enamel decoration, and gold and lacquerware make the place look quaint and solemn.

The dance hall can also be seen outlined by gold lacquer everywhere, and the huge murals seem to be beautiful pictures embedded in a gold-edged frame.

There is a circle around the dance hall with sofas and coffee tables placed, and the sofa is covered with thick camel velvet.

Dozens of "wheel chandeliers" are hung on the top of the dance hall. This style of decoration from the Sixth Age seems too old, but being able to have so many "wheel chandeliers" just highlights the long history of the Auburn family.

Apart from chandeliers, any other decorations and furnishings in the dance hall are the latest trendy and fashionable crafts.

The academies built by the Auburn family have never lacked painters and sculptors, who are pioneers leading the fashion trend.

These artists decorate the ballroom beautifully.

The dance hall itself seems to be a delicate craft.

Of course, the VIPs attending this dance cannot be as shabby as the wedding celebration day of Baroness Lonna, who was present at the time.

This is a place where Franciscan celebrities gather.
