Remember in a second【】
The night was already very deep, and even Nessberg, the capital of the Horn Bay Alliance and a city with a rare nightlife in this era, fell into silence and darkness at this time.
In a hotel on the docks, a room on the second floor was still lit.
At the table by the window, a young but unshaven man with a pair of glasses was waving a quill pen and writing straight on the paper.
There was no tiredness on his face, but a look of excitement appeared on his face. It seemed that it was difficult to fall asleep today.
Words appeared one by one under the tip of his pen. Although the handwriting was scribbled, it revealed a sense of vigor.
With a creak, the door of his room opened, but the man didn't seem to notice it at all.
"Ah~" The visitor patted his mouth and yawned, and said slightly reproachfully:
"Liszt, you haven't slept yet! What time is it? When I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw light shining through the crack of your door. I pushed it open. I said you were too careless. But in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the place of life..."
After the man named Liszt wrote the last paragraph, he turned to look at his companion: "Ah, it's you! Haha, I made you worry. But I'm so excited today!"
The companion showed a wry smile and said, "Understood, I understand. It's the first time I came to Jiaowan and saw such a big city as Nessberg. Although I was very tired physically, I didn't sleep all night. How is it? Today is an eye-opener, right?"
"It's really an eye-opener!" Liszt clenched his fists excitedly. "In the past, I only heard about the prosperity of Jiaowan, but today, seeing is believing. It really lives up to its reputation."
The companion said with emotion: "Yes, our hometown is like a small fishing village compared with here."
Liszt waved his hand: "Don't worry, I believe that under Lord Greiman's governance, Arda...no, even the entire Northwest Gulf will definitely not lose to Jiaowan in the future."
The companion couldn't believe it, and walked to the table with an embarrassed smile, "Let me see what you wrote? Ha, you don't mind, do you?"
Liszt picked up the thick notepad and passed it to his companion, "Look at it casually, it's not something private."
The companion flipped through a few pages and murmured to himself: "Have you written down everything you saw along the way? Well, prices, taxes, currency... everything is covered!"
The companion narrowed his eyes: "Let me tell you... Liszt, your real identity is not a spy sent by the Earl to Jiaowan, is it?"
Liszt rolled his eyes: "Fuck you, isn't it normal for people in the business field to pay attention to these things? Is your professional sensitivity so poor?"
"Haha, just kidding, kidding!"
Liszt took the notes, opened a page and said: "What I value most here is the tariffs between the Horn and Bay states. I think that apart from the superior geographical location, one of the reasons why these countries are so prosperous is the relationship between them. Reasonable tariffs."
He shook his head: "It would be great if all the lords of our Northwest Gulf could be as open-minded as Jiaowan, give up the petty profits in front of us, and focus on longer-term plans..."
This time it was my companion's turn to roll his eyes: "Hmph, now you are thousands of miles away from the Northwest Bay, you dare to say anything! A commoner dares to criticize the lord."
Liszt turned a deaf ear to his companion's sarcasm: "Alas! It's a pity that Mr. Greiman's customs union idea is all due to those ignorant bumpkins."
The country bumpkins in his mouth were the country gentry and landowners in Jean Arda. As soon as Paul proposed the "customs union" plan, it was aborted under the strong opposition of these guys. At that time, Alda's business community was really excited for a while, and then the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Liszt's eyes immediately showed a look of admiration: "Accordingly, Lord Graeman is only sixteen years old, and has never left the Northwest Gulf, let alone a place as far away as the corner of the world. How did you think of creating a customs union? It’s too early to conceive like a genius, right?”
He sighed: "I really want to have a good talk with this Earl."
The companion stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, dumbfounded: "Friedrich Liszt, have you lost your mind? You are just an employee of a commercial firm, and you want to meet Mr. Greiman in a whimsical way! Just run away when you get back. Go to Huxin Town and see if the guards of the lord's mansion will throw you into prison with your poor appearance."
Liszt muttered: "Master Greiman is definitely not that kind of person. Let me say that although this young lord is wise, he is too indecisive in some aspects. He should stick to the original customs union and use him The identity and power of the lord exclude those opponents, how can others give up after a few words? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is cowardly..."
"Stop, stop! Don't say such things in front of me in the future. I have seniors and juniors, and I don't want to cause any trouble."
The companion with cold sweat dripping from his brow quickly stopped Liszt's rebellious comments on the lord.
"It seems that you are so excited that your mind is a little unconscious. Listen to my advice and get a good night's sleep. We have to do the task assigned to us by Boss Todd tomorrow."
The two were sent by the owner of the shipyard, Bennett Todd, to the corner of the bay to recruit shipbuilders. Mr. Todd no longer wants to wait for the shipyards that are full of orders to build merchant ships for him. He plans to do it himself and have enough food and clothing .
"Ah~ I'm going back to sleep, you should go to bed quickly, otherwise tomorrow will be a bad day."
The companion turned and opened the door, and walked outside.
"Let me show you the light, it's quite dark in the corridor."
Liszt picked up the candlestick and followed him out.
Unfortunately,
^0^Remember in one second【】
There were no adjoining rooms when they booked and the partner's room was at the end of the corridor.
Liszt went to the bathroom with the candlestick and then slowly returned to his room.
"Huh? Did I forget to lock the door again when I came out? This memory... but it shouldn't be stolen in such a short time."
After inserting the key into the lock hole, it was obvious that it was not locked. He laughed at himself After entering the room, the objects inside did not change, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's time to go to bed!" After blowing out the candles, Liszt stretched and walked to the bed.
Just laying down, suddenly there was a noise outside.
Liszt was very surprised, he didn't know what happened, and the messy voice was mixed with scolding and crying.
Could it be bandits? Ah, this is Horn Bay, the possibility of pirates is more likely!
But this is the capital of the Horn Bay Alliance!
There was light coming from the window, he jumped out of bed and ran to the window, looked outside, and saw countless torches lighting up the street in front of the hotel like daylight, and the building was already surrounded by a large group of people.
No way? Is it really the robbers?
Liszt's heart hangs.
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
