Chapter nine(3/3)

Not only were these soldiers guarding the Wang Family Hunting Grounds closely, but thousands of cavalry patrolled continuously. They not only wanted to prevent the enemy from invading the hunting ground from outside, but also prevent the prey from running out of the hunting ground.

Suddenly hundreds of copper horns were blown at the same time, low and loud, and the sound of the horns was heard far away, and even the sound of the horns could be heard vaguely in the capital.

With the sound of horns, winter hunting officially began.

To Ruibo’s delight was that there was no lengthy opening speech for winter hunting, and no big shot wanted to make a “short speech” in the cold wind.

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and everyone walked towards the horses, and the ladies gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the carriage prepared for them.

Seeing His Majesty the King and the men gradually moved away, the ladies finally relaxed, and they began to gather together and chatter.

Winter hunting is an extremely lively party for them, and the ladies and ladies are not interested in shooting and killing those cute little animals.

Riding on the horse, Ruibo weighed the crossbow arrow in his hand. It was indeed a very exquisite toy.

I don’t know which light wood skeleton is made of, and the crossbow arms are soft and have no strength at all.

Although this crossbow is of no use, the appearance is shiny with golden light and very beautiful.

The war horse was also a special horse prepared by the palace. Obviously, these horses had long been used to walking slowly with graceful steps. Ribo felt extremely stable and comfortable when riding on the horse.

However, these horses are obviously not suitable for fast running, and they are a very compatible pair with the exquisite and beautiful crossbow arrows.

Rebow and Eckert hid in the middle of the ranks, staying with the inconspicuous counts who were too old to serve.

Suddenly, the horn sounded again, and it was obvious that the people in front had discovered the prey.

Like the people next to him, Rebey made the horses speed up, but they didn't have to run hard, and the hunting work was not their turn.

After a while, a shout came from the front.

The shouts were made by the nobles who were in charge of driving away their prey, and their work was the same as those hunting dogs of His Majesty the King.

Soon the real hunting dog barked, and the target was obviously discovered and locked.

A shouting sounded immediately in the forest, and the nobles around Ruibo also shouted in unison, this was their only duty.

Rebow was not interested in this dull hunt, nor was he interested in waving flags and shouting for His Majesty the King.

Rebow's disrespectfulness attracted everyone's attention, but no one was willing to stand up and meddle in such idiotic business. The young heir of Sethborough had long known to His Majesty the King.

If the conflict between His Majesty the King and Prince Phillips is still hidden in the dark, then the relationship between Sethborough and His Majesty is probably to the point of open confrontation - this is something that most Franck families have confirmed.

Suddenly, a burst of cheers came from the front, and the listless nobles shouting quickly cheered up and cheered together.

Obviously His Majesty the King has already hunted something.

The horn sounded again, as if celebrating His Majesty's courage.

Except for Rebo and Eckert, everyone around was cheering and everyone pretended to be happy.

Accompanied by the sound of victory, the team slowly moved forward, and the bored hunting continued. Rebo and Eckert looked at each other, and they could see boredom and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Not only the two of them, but the nobles next to them also followed listlessly, obviously they were not interested in hunting at all.

Just when Ribo was tired, there was a horse riding in front of him slowly and seemingly unintentionally leaning over.

"Earl Medin, don't you think it's too boring here?" the man riding horse asked softly.

Ruibo turned his head and saw that he was the head of the Law and Political Department.

"How about we go for a walk?" Marquis Farror invited.

According to the rules, it is a very disrespectful crime for His Majesty to leave the queue without authorization while hunting, but who would go to the top with a high-ranking person like the Director of Law and Political Affairs?

After coming out of the queue, the two men slowly rode their horses into the woods, gradually moving away from the hunting team.

"Marquis, do you have anything to discuss with me in secret?" asked Ribo. In fact, he had already made up his mind. The Director of Law and Political Affairs was obviously very moved by the one million gold coins he had promised.

As he expected, the Director of Law asked with a smile: "Earl Medin, I just want to communicate with you privately. No one has more authority than you in how to use wealth and make it grow rapidly. I would like to ask you, is everything you said at the Duke of Auburn that day true, or is it just a saying?

"Marquis think I'm talking nonsense?" Ruibo asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, there is absolutely no such idea, but-" Marquis Faru quickly glanced at Ribo and said, "I am worried that you said this just to find a strong ally."

"It's too expensive to find an ally with one million gold coins a year." Rebow had already discussed countermeasures with Eckert, and he talked happily: "If you want to find an ally, a hundred thousand gold coins a year is enough to make a family stand on the side of Serthburg. In the capital, only four to five families support can easily gain a foothold. Now two of them have established a deep friendship with Serthburg. Marquis, do you think Serthburg would do such a stupid thing, and cost three times the price just to win over another ally? This will only cause dissatisfaction among families that were originally close to us."

Marquis Faru had no room for refutation of Rebow's words. His words were very thorough and convincing, and indeed reasonable.

The Director of Law and Political Affairs became serious, and he urged the horse and Rebe to lean closely together and asked softly: "Mr. Earl, if that is really your grand vision, can you explain it to me in detail? I believe that you should be very clear that the Directorate of Law and Political Affairs under your charge will be the strongest facilitator for your grand plan."

Rebor stopped Ma and thought for a while and said, "Marquis Marquis, we did hope to cooperate with the Law and the Supervision Office. The Law and Political Department has many spies, and the Supervision Office has extremely complete communication stations all over Francs, and the two newspapers in the capital. If these three advantages can be integrated together, the merchants in the south will definitely be willing to pay for this."

"Why do you need the participation of the OPC? As long as I give me enough bonuses, the OPC can easily establish a faster and more reliable communication network." Marquis Farole said disapprovingly.

"Marquis, this is the trick to doing business. Using existing resources as much as possible is the best way to succeed, and the risk of doing so is much smaller. Of course, the premise is that the cost of using existing resources is much cheaper than re-establishing. If this is not done, the merchants may find another feasible way again and may give up the entire plan." Ruibo said softly and hard.

Of course, the Marquis Faru could understand the meaning of Rebeau's words. He frowned slightly. After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he leaned close to Rebeau's ear and whispered: "How did you plan? I want to hear the specific content."

Seeing that the Marquis of Faruel took the bait, Rebe was extremely happy, but his face did not show any signs: "Mr. Marquis, my first step is to not spread too much as it starts. This risk is too great. If you fail, it will be a huge loss for you and me. As far as I know, the most strictly controlled area of ​​the Legal Affairs Office is the nine provinces near Franck. To the north to Sedar and west to Naman Beach, for merchants in the south, the trade volume in this area accounts for a considerable proportion of the total share. Start here first and then slowly expand the scope of influence. Do you think it is appropriate?"

"Sir Earl, you are calm and sophisticated in your work. It's good. I can decide on this territory." Marquis Faru said, nodding.

"The only ones that are truly valuable to you and me among the nine provinces are Naman, Sedal and Franck, and there are only about thirty or forty types of bulk transactions in the south, including glass, silk, tea, spices, animal skins, silver, copper, lead, magenta sand and indigo, and myrrh, as well as myrrh, are the largest transaction volume." Ruibo said while counting with his fingers.

Marquis Faru had a serious expression and nodded repeatedly. He now had no doubts in his mind. He was completely convinced that the young man in front of him was indeed talking to him about a lucrative deal.

Seeing that the Marquis of Farule had completely taken the hook, Rebow easily sprinkled the hook. He lowered his voice and said, "The profits of glass, spices, and myrrh are the greatest, but the risks are the greatest. Although silk and tea transactions are not likely to lose money in most cases, almost no merchants in the south have ever suffered a loss. If you make less money in this kind of transaction, you will suffer a huge loss."

"The reason why people suffer losses is that on the one hand, there are naturally some factors. Another bigger reason is that the merchants in the south are not well-informed, do not know the local supply and demand situation, and are easily bullied by local businesses. Because of this, the merchants in the south hope to obtain local and nearby trade conditions at any time. If they know what they know, they will not suffer losses. For this reason, they are absolutely willing to pay 10% of the profit as the price for purchasing information." Ruibo said with a chuckling.

The Marquis Faru came over further and said urgently: "Sir, Count, you should have thought of all the details, your personality, temperament, style, and what you did at Serthborough have been heard of. Please tell me clearly what I can do?"

Seeing the anxious look of the Director of Law and Political Affairs, Ruibo decided not to sway his appetite: "Sir, how to find out the news, I don't think it's necessary to show off in front of you. The advice I can provide is just how to turn these news into yellow and orange gold coins."

Hearing this, the Marquis Faru smiled and said repeatedly: "That's it, that's it."

"My conceived, my idea is that you specially hire a group of experienced accountants and shopkeepers. They must be quite proficient in the transactions I just mentioned, and they must be absolutely loyal to you. The information you collect must be delivered to them at the fastest speed, organized and released by them." Ruibo said.

"So how to charge money?" Marquis Faru said straightforwardly what he was most worried about.

"I will introduce those merchants who need to buy intelligence and you know them. You can charge them a sum of money as a fee for joining the alliance. Of course, this is not the real source of benefits. Don't be too greedy." Ruibo said.

"That's right, that's right, please don't worry, Earl, I'm not a fool. I'm still very clear about the principle of fishing big fish with long lines. I will never do anything to kill chickens and get eggs." Marquis Faru replied quickly.

"Marquis is a smart man." Ruibo laughed and said, "For members of the alliance, you let them choose the information they need by themselves. The accountants and shopkeepers you hire will tell you how much information to the merchants can attract their interest. You set a tempting and fair price. I think this will bring you considerable income, but this is only a small part. You can also charge 10% of the loan from it. I think most merchants will be willing to use this less risky way to trade. With the Legal Affairs Office, you guarantee that both parties will not suffer any losses. You said, is that true?"

When the Marquis Faru was so excited that he had seen a pile of yellow gold coins piled up in front of him. Now, the Director of Law finally knew why all the officials of Sethborough stood by the little heir, because it was all because of the choices made by interests.

It is indeed a very pleasant thing to make a deal with this little heir. The Director of Law and Political Science and Technology's smart mind is running quickly.

He had already begun to arrange all this, but for him, the most hesitant thing was how to show up with the old fox, the Inspector General.

Marquis Faru was obviously very clear that the little heir of Sethborough insisted on inviting the Inspector General to join the plan. On the one hand, it can reduce the risk as he said, and on the other hand, it is probably the most important thing to avoid.

But Faruel Hougan still felt quite distressed to split the profit.

Although he was reluctant, the Director of Law and Political Affairs had made up his mind to visit the Director of Inspectorate as soon as possible to determine the matter and let him come forward to find the Director of Inspectorate, which would be better than the heir of Sesburg, so that he could get more from the transaction.

The Marquis of Faru made up his mind and the two walked towards the hunting team of His Majesty the King in the distance, talking and laughing.

Ruibo was also extremely excited because he had just won a major victory.

Now no one has the ability to shake the status of Serthborg and Franx South anymore. He has grafted the seedling of Serthborg to the most complicated old tree in the Kingdom of Franx.
