The warm wind is blowing, the river is running, and a white wave is rolling,

At the front of the Clipper’s imperial bank to Lisboa, a woman wearing a white dress appeared at the bow of the dock. The woman looked at the ferry in front of her and said that the Clippers stopped at this medium-sized ferry. I was puzzled. After being inquired, I was temporarily informed that two guests of the Imperial Bank had to take a boat to Lisbon. The pretty face was immediately cold and immediately came to the captain and asked sharply, "Captain Anliya, what's going on, this The second time I sent a special boat to send Miss Ansia to Lisbon, such an important task, how can there be a boat ride? If something goes wrong, can you afford it?"

"I also temporarily received the order given above, asking me to wait for two guests here, and I have no choice."

The captain is a gray-haired middle-aged man who seems to be well-informed. When confronted by the woman who came to Xingshi, he explained with frustration and anger that the other party’s identity was nothing but an empire. The daughter of a person in charge of the Southwest Division of the Bank, not to mention that the person in charge in the Southwest District is sixth or seventh, and it is also because of the relationship that he has the opportunity to board the express bank dedicated to Imperial Bank and personnel transportation.

But the other woman who walked with her was in trouble

Miss Anthea, daughter of Tomacri, the head of the Bank of Africa's Gangfeifei North Branch, also went to Lisbon on the same boat this time

As the head of the imperial bank's Gangfeibei branch, Tomakri is known for his sharpness. Among the more than seventy branch heads of the imperial bank, he is also an important person who can be ranked in the top ten. Behind, standing is the head of the army of the north of the imperial Gangfei, Miss Brant Bonnie, known as the disciple of the emperor, this is a heavy minister of the imperial army, the power covers the entire north of Gangfei

With this alone, even the imperial military was polite to this lord Tomakri

Not to mention that since the Gangfei North Army entered the wilderness to the east last year, wiped out the Zhongshan Province where the Gaul remnants were located, and opened the second golden business road between the Empire and Central Biya, the trade status of Gangfei North did not improve at all. Less, it is far safer to go to Central Asia from the north of Gangfei than in the cold area outside the long wall to the north, and it has become closer. It has become the preferred route for imperial merchants to travel to Central Asia.

The war went away, and the people who had fled and hid gradually returned, new farmland was reclaimed, and villages started to smoke, and a large number of businessmen who went to the Central Biyari region also led to regional prosperity and recovery. According to the recent demographics of the empire, the population of northern Gangfei has reached 8.7 million. With the expansion of trade routes and other migrations of the empire, the settlers gradually settled down. It turned out that the nearly deserted northern Gangfei was caused by war. Although the area is still far from the 30 million people who were not in the prosperous period of the empire, it is definitely no longer a desolate scene full of barren grass.

Here, the imperial bank's contribution to the north of Gangfei is arguably the biggest one. There is no large amount of loans from the Gangfei branch to the imperial merchants. This golden business road connecting the empire and Centralbia will never develop in just two years. To this extent, it is even more recent news that this Tomakri is expected to be transferred to the mainland business capital Lisbonto as the head of the branch there

Although Lisbonto is just the size of a city, it seems that it is not as powerful as the regional heads such as Gangfeibei. In fact, everyone knows that Lisbonto is the most prosperous center of imperial commerce. If it is just the size of the area, Gangtou is not the north. It’s bigger than a hundred Lisbons, but in terms of business development, one Lisbons can be equal to half of it. Transfer to Lisbon. I’m afraid that this lady really went to the front of the Lisbons for Tomakri. Since the Lisbonto financial turmoil, the head of the Imperial Bank in Lisbonto has been transferred until now. If Tomacri is really transferred to Lisbonto, it means that Tomacri’s position in the Imperial Bank is expected to be crowded. Entering the top three, the daughter of such a real power figure, and in this most sensitive period, the Imperial Bank specially arranged the Clippers to Lisboa, the significance of which can be imagined!

Just when the captain explained to the woman, a young woman walked from the deck of the ship. The woman glanced at her female companion, and the woman who was scolding the captain quickly stopped.

"Captain Anliya, I'm so sorry, my companion is impatient. If there was an offense, I will apologize to you on behalf of her." The woman and Yan Yueshen smiled apologetically to the captain.

"Miss Anthea is too polite, this matter has nothing to do with the lady's companion, and there is no rudeness. If you really want to say, it is that the people who made us wait are too slow," said the captain.

"I heard that this is news from a special channel of the Imperial Army. Does this Clipper of the Imperial Bank still have the duties of the military?" Anthea's eyes flashed sharply.

"This, please forgive me not to say"

The captain’s face changed slightly, and the Imperial Bank’s backstage was the Imperial Army. Actually, not much is known about it, and for some special reasons, even at the senior level of the Imperial Bank, it is a taboo, because The senior deacons of the Imperial Bank are not all imperial. Some deacons use pseudonyms. Only a few of the core talents of the Imperial Bank know that the real identity of the person standing behind these pseudonyms may be or one of them. The great minister of the country, maybe even the king himself, once the identity of these people is revealed, it is a major earthquake. I don’t know how many people will be killed and how many places will become war zones in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that this time the person is not easy"

Anthea shook her head, smiled indifferently, her eyes flashed, and looked at the people on the dock,

This time she went south to Lisbon. In fact, she was also temporarily dispatched. A batch of goods purchased by the North African Army from Emperor Jinghai Dacheng was in trouble when she landed on the Lisbon. The acquisition was very difficult for the North African Army. It’s important, but it’s just that, she didn’t want her to go, and it’s a woman’s order

An order signed by the head of the Imperial Army and the Northern Army, Brant Bonnie!

In the final analysis, it was caused during this annual meeting. The most talked about during the annual meeting was that the Confederation of Four Southern Nations provoked provocatively in Dijing and ended up being beaten hard. The Yelv dynasty opened its business routes in an all-round way, and it was tax-free for one year, which caused news that the Imperial Chamber of Commerce swarmed in.

For other places, this may be regarded as a business opportunity and negotiation, but as the most convenient golden route to Centralbia, just before the news, it can be said that it is the first to feel the change and impact. The annual meeting was not completely over, and the number of businessmen who had just arrived from the north of the empire had just tripled.

With the end of the annual meeting, the news of the full opening of the Yelu dynasty spread throughout the empire, and it is even more conservative. It is conservatively estimated that the number of imperial merchants who want to pour into the Central African Golden Line is at least five times more than the previous imperial merchant Not only that, in order to get a China-Africa trade permit issued by the North African Army, the top 100 chambers of commerce in the empire have already come to seventy or eighty, almost breaking their heads.

And the party that seized the goods over there was the previous major chamber of commerce that mainly controlled the Central-Arabic commercial route. Since the Yelu dynasty had shown that it could no longer be controlled, then only the commercial route had to make an idea.

This commercial route crosses the wilderness from the north of Gangfei to Central China, and the final destination is also the Central Jingdi Road controlled by the Gangfei North Army. The route is along the range of the Gangfei North Army, which means that as long as Gangfei The movement of the North Army is enough to let other chambers of commerce who want to pour into the Central Business Road in retreat.

These big chambers of commerce had a good relationship with the Gangfei North Army before, and they also bought some goods instead of the Gangfei North Army. This time, they also bought goods for the Gangfei North Army during the annual meeting of the Emperor Jing, but this time, I deliberately found a reason to withdraw a batch, just thinking about the high-ranking non-Northern Army to come to negotiate

It is a pity that these big chambers of commerce have obviously miscalculated Brant Bonnie's temper. This knight sister had already tasted the sweetness of the trade route when she was in the northern grasslands. Now that she is sitting on the golden trade road, she naturally hopes to come The more imperial merchants in the north, the better. The empire adopts transaction taxes. Road transportation is not taxed. Only transactions are taxed. As the starting point and end point of this golden route, the two big heads of transactions take place. It's just the area of ​​the North Army, so such a big piece of fat has been stuck for a long time by a few big businessmen who haven't been eye-catching.

If it was not for the emperor’s strategic deployment, I would have found a reason to tear up the monopoly of these big merchants

Now seeing the surge of businessmen, it is even more impossible to break your money

The other party deliberately chose to start in Lisbon because he knew that the Emperor of the Empire had stipulated that the soldiers of the Empire should not enter Lisbonto at will. Otherwise, Brant Bonnie would directly appoint his guard to Lisbonto, although now he only sent a guard captain However, unless the other party really wants to carry it to the end, I am not afraid that all my business roads in the north of Gangfei are blocked to death, and I can sneer at his letter of authorization from Brant Bonnie!

At that price, I'm afraid I can't stand it!

"I don’t know. Until now, I don’t know who I was waiting for. ‘Captain was embarrassed, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead,

"In this case, bother"

I feel that I can’t ask anything, Ansia, her mouth slightly upturned, turned to prepare to go to the deck, Ancia’s real identity is actually the new guard captain of Brant Bonnie, and now the main force of the non-Northern Army is in the Central Biya area. The batch of goods involved the interests of the non-Northern Army, so when no one is available, Brant Bonnie can only send himself the new guard captain to Lisbon to handle this matter.

"Who is going to Lisbonto?"

Anthea stood in the bow position in front of the wind. Although she was the captain of Brant Bonnie, she only served for less than three months. Although there is a written authorization from Brant Bonnie, in fact, Anthea I don’t have any idea, but her father is the head of the imperial bank Gang Fei Bei, and her female partner Katrina, the father is also a person in charge of the southwestern area of ​​the imperial bank. The status of the daughter of the person in charge of the department can make the other party feel more stressed, and the foundations of the few big merchants are in the southwest area, not in Gangfeibei, which is why she has drawn her own female partner.

At this time, there was a rapid horseshoe sound from the direction of the ferry, the smoke spread

Seeing a team of about 30 men in black armored cavalry coming towards the ferry in the distance, the front was a black-haired young man and a gray-haired middle-aged man. After the other side dismounted at the pier, they directly headed towards the imperial bank’s Clippers coming

Seeing that the identity of the coming person may be an Imperial soldier, Anthea’s pretty face also showed a certain amount of consternation. Since the last financial turmoil in Lisbon, the Imperial Army entered the Lisbon, and the Imperial Military Department was more strict about the military’s entry into Lisbon. Even Anxi Ya, as the captain of Miss Brant Bonnie’s **** to Lisbon, had to conceal her true identity, only as the daughter of the head of the Imperial Bank branch

At least Anthea knew that just half a month ago, during the annual general meeting of the Empire, a commander of the Empire Banner who returned from the Southern European Baro Theater relied on his own military prowess, ignoring the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs to visit an old friend in Lisbon. As a result, he was caught by the patrol team of the Lisboa Government Office. After a half-death, he was sent directly to the Imperial Supervision Department. Then the head of the Imperial Banner was wiped out by the Military Department and deprived of his military post. Squatting in the black prison of Lisbon

It is said that there is no personal order from the emperor.

I also heard that since the assassination of the Lisbon Administrative Officer, it is now a woman named Tier Nuris who is in charge of the Lisbon Administrative Affairs. Because of the fierce means, he has repeatedly suppressed the Lisbon’s merchants to make waves, otherwise it will not cause Lisbon The Toho businessmen’s big rebound led to the terrible turmoil of the last time. However, in the financial turmoil of Lisbon, this woman used thunder to deal with more than ten culprits, involving as many as three Lisbonto merchants in jail. More than a hundred, once the prisons under the Lisbon government office were overcrowded, everyone was in danger, and the Lisbon people were afraid of being called "Red Witch"

"Shall we say hello? Anthea said to Katrina around her

"No, it looks like an imperial soldier, it looks so fierce! It is said that their hands were washed with human blood!" Katrina Qiao's face showed a hint of undaunted cowardice. The imperial soldiers were ordinary people In the eyes is synonymous with killing,

"Just rumors, you also believe this kind of thing" Anthea smiled at the corner of her mouth, and then walked straight over,

She came to one of the dark-haired youths and reached out her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Ansia, and I also went to Lisbon. There are still four or five days on this boat. Please take care of them." People, the thin one is quite alert at first glance, and takes the military guard to Lisbon. If it is not really dependent, it is the courageous not knowing life and death! On the contrary, this guy looks stupid. If he is caught by the Red Witch, will he cry to his nose?

"Oh hello, my name is Dustan Falcon"

The dark-haired young man smiled and said with a smile, the woman in front of her was pretty, with long brown hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a black close-fitting hunting suit, an expensive knight sword hanging on the waist, and a pair of long rounded straight legs Wearing brown boots on the top ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ gives a first-hand feeling like seeing a cheetah full of explosive power, the silhouette is as clear as a knife cut, giving a sense of determination and determination, especially slender The neck shows an indescribable elegance, which makes people guess that her origin is necessarily extraordinary,

"Your name is very special, it seems to follow..." Anthea blinked her eyes and stopped talking. In fact, she wanted to say that the name was similar to the emperor's name, but she thought it was too ridiculous. What did it mean to talk to a man who met on a boat with the same name as the emperor?

"You mean it's very similar to the name of the emperor. A lot of people have already said that. No matter how you say it, I can say to your majesty's pronunciation similarly. I have no regrets!"

At first glance, the dark-haired youth was a fairly hearty person, with a chuckle in his mouth, and then pointed to the gray-haired middle-aged man around him. “He’s called Tirnarant. These guards are all his people. But an administrative officer of the empire, or if you can hear his name in a short time, it’s hard to say, he also went to Lisbon.”

Oh, Your Excellency Administrative Officer, it’s an honor to meet an Administrative Officer here! Hearing the middle-aged man in front of him was an imperial administrative officer, Anthea gave a slightly serious salute
