Chapter 1638 Family Unity (8)

If you really want to buy them all, adding up all your properties may not be enough.

Could it be that he really saw such a good opportunity for him to be the president this time in front of him, but he let it slip away for nothing!But I didn't bring so much money with me, could this be the revelation from the gods to me!Is the position of president really so far away from me?
Thinking of this, Liu Fei felt frustrated for a while, but when he thought that the position of the chairman was so within reach, he felt unwilling: "The price is too high, which makes it difficult for me. Can the patriarch reduce it a little bit?" !"

Seeing the dejection on Liu Fei's face, Zhao Hu said in a low voice disapprovingly: "If my lord special envoy has any difficulties, for the sake of the deep friendship between the Falcon family and my lord special envoy, I can promise my lord special envoy to deliver the goods first." Temporarily store it with me, as long as the payment can be received within a month, the goods can be taken away at any time!"

When Liu Fei heard that he didn't have to pay the full amount immediately, he suddenly regained his spirits. Several bigwigs in the organization had the same opinions on the current chairman as he did, so it happened that they could join forces to buy these artifacts, and each of them would pay part of the money. , the burden is not too great.

"The patriarch's words are serious! If you don't have to pay the full amount immediately, I will accept this price!"

Zhao Hu groped his fat body for a while, then took out a crumpled parchment from the pocket of his pajamas and handed it to the bewildered Liu Fei.

"Of course, of course, I am the patriarch of the Falcon family. How can I still deceive the special envoy! Let's sign this sales contract! As soon as the special envoy's money arrives, the goods can be taken away!"

Liu Fei took it strangely and saw that it was a sales contract for twelve artifacts. He glanced at Zhao Hu with embarrassment, and quickly explained: "Master Patriarch, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring my seal! "

"No seal? I have a solution, it's very simple." Zhao Hu looked at Liu Fei with his eyes, and felt that the other party was really not lying, so he stretched out his fat right hand and grabbed Liu Fei's. On the right hand, the long nail of the thumb of the right hand lightly stroked Liu Fei's palm, and a split bloodstain immediately appeared along the palm line.

"Master patriarch, you are,,,,,,,"

Liu Fei felt that his right hand was clamped tightly by an iron tongs, and suddenly his palm itched, and he was dumbfounded to see that Zhao Hu easily cut the palm of his hand with his nails, and blood gushed out from the scar, covering the entire palm Like a red bloody hand, the fat man who held his hand on the opposite side, with a look of unsatisfied expression, murmured to himself: "Oh! It seems a bit off! It's been a long time since I practiced this finger skill, and I lost it! "

Liu Fei hurriedly said: "That's enough, Lord Patriarch, if it continues to flow, I will lose too much blood and pass out!"

Only then did the fat man brazenly press Liu Fei's blood-stained right thumb on the lower corner of the contract, and then used his right thumb to stick in Liu Fei's blood, and pressed another corner of the contract. Fingerprint, and finally put the contract book into his arms, and said to Liu Fei with a smile on his face: "I heard that the special envoy still has a batch of important goods to be escorted to the north, so I won't delay the special envoy any more! I hope that the special envoy will send the money over as soon as possible!"

"Haha! It's true that horses don't get fat without grass at night, and people don't get rich without windfalls. I earned 24 gold coins from Liu Yu's vice president so easily. If Liu Fei knew that these artifacts would soon be sold in large quantities I don’t know if I will regret my impulse tonight and hit the wall!”

"Having money is the last word. Without money, you can't do anything!"

Zhao Hu, who is the head of the Falcon family, is now deeply touched by this sentence. He always thought that his territory was not bad, even if he was not rich, he was not poor, and he was at the forefront of the second-rate families in the empire.

But these few times of contact with the vice president Liu Yu Liu Fei, Zhao Hu knew how big the gap between the second-rate family and the first-rate family was.

Even the vice president of a Liuyu smuggling organization supported by the Ankers family, a wealthy family in the north, can easily take out 6 gold coins that he can't even imagine.

In the eyes of these top families, it is estimated that the status of the Falcon family is not much better than that of a poor country bumpkin in the south.The fat man, who was thinking about how to make a fortune, happened to see the dodgy figure of the old housekeeper appearing outside the hall door, and hurriedly greeted him: "You came just in time, this is a gold ticket for 6 gold coins, you let the tax collector Sta Dedo brought some soldiers and a few carriages, and transported the money back from the branch in Kuta City set up by Liuyu in the north. I have been annoyed by him for the past few days. Three hundred gold coins, this guy almost didn't draw his knife to duel with me!"

The old butler was very surprised by this mysterious team of special envoys just now, and now he stood outside the hall door with a strange expression, watching Zhao Hu and Liu Fei talking secretly at the round table.

Although I don't know what the young master and this mysterious special envoy are talking about, but I can somewhat guess something by seeing two people pointing at the "artifact" from a distance. I guess that this time the family's artifact will be "Prodigal Fatty! "It was sold.

Of course, the contemptuous title of "prodigal fat man" did not come from the mouth of the loyal old housekeeper, but from the mouth of the family tax collector Stad who has been very troubled recently.

The old butler knew that the Falcon family had long been in financial distress due to internal strife and splits with offshoots. Especially in the recent battles to unify the family, the huge army and various expenses made the family's treasury accumulated for a year almost almost exhausted.

Stad, the tax collector in charge of finance and taxation, has been complaining for half a month, and his tight eyebrows have never been stretched. When he sees the eyes of anyone who comes to withdraw gold coins, it is like seeing his own deep-rooted enemy. A piece of flesh was deducted from each person's body with his eyes, and the word saving was written on every gold coin.Secretly scolding his lord as "a fat loser! The most generous poor lord in the empire!"

The old butler knew the young master's idea of ​​acquiring twelve artifacts, and it wasn't a day or two. Although he had always opposed the young master's sale of the artifacts in exchange for military expenses, facing the current financial difficulties of the family, this might be the best way to solve the problem now. Method.

However, the [-] gold coins that the young master said shocked the old butler who thought he was well-informed. The old butler who knew the family's financial situation knew that a surplus of [-] gold coins in previous years' settlements was a piece of cake. great thing.

These sixty thousand gold coins!It is fully worth the combined taxes of the entire Falcon family for two years, and it is still the kind of situation where there is no expenditure.

During the 21-year tenure of the former Marquis, there was no concept of tens of thousands of gold coins in the treasury. Most of the tax revenue became the salary of the Knights, and only a small part became the compensation for the soldiers who died in battle.

In the worst year, there was only a surplus of [-] or [-] gold coins. In that year, the old Marquis had to sell part of his belongings to survive the crisis.

So even the old housekeeper who thought he was well-informed and served the Falcon family all his life was the first time he came into contact with such a large amount of gold coins.

Seeing the old butler's big mouth that could swallow a fist in astonishment, Zhao Hu thought jokingly: "It's only 24 gold coins. If the old butler knew that he had just made a big deal of [-] gold coins Don't faint!"

Seeing the proud look on his young master's face, the old housekeeper who had long thought clearly about this rich young master took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Hu in embarrassment. The fiery red lion head postmark in the middle of the envelope was so eye-catching!

This is a letter from Zhao Hu's grandfather, the current Imperial Marshal Duke Gist, who personally signed the military order of the Ministry of Military Affairs. This unique red wax is exclusively used by the Ministry of Military Affairs, which means that the military situation is on fire and cannot be delayed.

If it is a letter from the Ministry of the Interior, it has a blue postmark, which means that the emperor's benevolence is as wide as the sea, and the letter from the Ministry of Finance has a yellow-orange golden postmark, like an inverted gold coin.

"Master, this is the order that the Ministry of Military Affairs has just received to cancel the "hunting" this autumn. It is said that the Kazakhs in the north have invaded the northern border on a large scale. This year may be an eventful year!"

"Young master, the armor and gold coins transported by the Northern Liuyu Chamber of Commerce have arrived at the castle. There are [-] carts of supplies, ten carts are weapons, and the remaining three carts should be the [-] gold coins! What should I do?"

The old butler ran over with a happy face and reported that when the vehicles entered the castle just now, the careful old butler paid special attention and found that besides the first ten cargo carriages full of weapons and armor, there were three other carriages wrapped in black cloth. A solid box carriage.

This is a closed carriage used by lords to transport gold coins. It is usually made of fine iron with a thickness of five centimeters. Even if it is snatched on the road, it is difficult to open it without a key.

The heavy ruts and the creaking sound, if you listen carefully, you can even hear the slight metal sound, and you can tell yourself without a doubt, "That's a whole three carts worth of gold coins!"

"It's here so soon!" Zhao Hu was taken aback by the old steward's report. With so many supplies, Zhao Hu thought it would take at least half a month to deliver them to his castle, but he didn't expect that they would be delivered in just three days. Got it all together.

"It seems that I have been fooled by Liu Fei, an old fox. I knew Liu Yu's strength was strong, but I never thought it would be so strong! I am still too kind, and my heart softens when I see people crying!"

The fat man opened his mouth slightly, recalling from his surprise, he couldn't help feeling very sad that he had missed an excellent opportunity to "rob the rich and help the poor".
