The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Chapter 24

The Empire of Saint Airo and the Empire of Anas are the two most powerful countries on the Western Continent.

The status between kings and kings is different.

It’s like Buss Ridges is a noble duke in Gadaat, but in the Anas Empire, it may be equivalent to a marquis or earl.

In the Empire of Saint Airo and the Empire of Anas, there is a grand duke above the duke.

The power in the hands of the Grand Duke can be completely equal to the power of a king in a small country.

As the largest chamber of commerce in the Anas Empire, the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce sells items that are uncommon and can firmly control the direction of money.

Even in the St. Ailuo Empire, it occupies a large place, collecting countless gold coins.

Furthermore, the connections and power held by the Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce are not to be underestimated.

Boris Abel came to Jadayat on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce.

They did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts along the way. The flag painted with the logo of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce was waving in the wind at the top of the carriage.

The convoy entered Wesas through Fort Comoy.

Vincent sent people to find the soldiers patrolling the city at the first time. After identifying them, they asked to talk to Desinia.

The Cavaliers leading the team at the time happened to be Taylor.

After confirming that it was the Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce, he took the badge of the Chamber of Commerce and notified Lord Fernandi and Lord Walker in advance.

It didn’t take long.

The news came to Xia Zoe’s ears.

“The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce actually came to Wess?”

Xia Zoe thought for a while, and realized that they were probably a bad person.

It should be for the sale of rose salt.

After all, rose salt has now completely seized the market share of Jadayat and even Gaynor, squeezing out almost all the coarse salt sales route of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce.

Such consequences will directly cause the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to lose a considerable amount of money.

No wonder some can’t sit still.

Xia Zoe said: “Invite people from the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to come and talk in the castle.”

“Yes, Lord Earl.”

The knight who came to report took the order.

Udit was a little worried: “Lord Earl, if the Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce wants to embarrass you…”

Xia Zoe: “I think they should embarrass the king even more. After all, I let 60% of the profits go out. Most of the gold coins actually went into the king’s pocket.”

“The reason why the people from the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce came to me was because I offered the salt drying method. Although the steps of drying salt are clear at a glance, the method of extracting refined salt has not been announced.”

You can imagine what they came for.

The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce really specializes in soft squeezing, but it also has to see if it can squeeze it.

However, the extraction of refined salt is actually very simple and easy.

Xia Zoe thought quietly before the people from the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce arrived.

Judith stood beside him in silence and waited.

After a while.

Xia Zoe said: “Udit, I remember you once said that there is a very large salt lake in the Anas Empire-Lake Bettaara, right?”

Udy’s head: “Yes, Lord Earl.”

Xia Zoe hummed.

There is no concealment of the salt drying method in sea water, as long as you come here to see it, you will know it.

Lake Bettaara can completely precipitate crystals by the method of sun-dried salt. As for the method of refined salt extraction, it can be known after a little research.

Not to mention, the civilians and slaves involved in the work of the refined salt refining production line also knew this.

Anyone who promises money and temptation at random, anyone can say it.

Besides, Xia Zoe didn’t intend to hide it from the beginning.

That being said, he needs to find a new bargaining chip to have a friendly “talk” with the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce.

Boris and Vincent are led all the way to Desinia’s study.

The maid opened the door respectfully, then stepped back and stood aside.

Boris and Vincent walked in.

Boris saw a large long table in the study, and there were four people sitting in the direction facing the door.

Two men dressed obviously as knights stood at the back, and the one on the left should be the steward of the castle.

As for the boy sitting on the chair in the middle, it was the person Boris was going to bully-Xia Zoe De Signia.

Boris’s gaze fell on Xia Zoe’s body, and he couldn’t help but look carefully, and his nearly dark green eyes became brighter.

He said: “I didn’t expect Master Earl to be so exquisite and beautiful, like soufflés that have been carefully baked. The outside is white and tender like clouds, and the inside is light and delicate, full of sweetness.”

Souffle is a very expensive dessert of the Anas Empire.

Only a chef with very good craftsmanship can do it.

The ingredients used in soufflé are fresh milk and egg whites, which are baked after boiling the milk and stirring the egg whites.

After swelling, the egg white will be as white and soft as a cloud, but if it is not eaten as soon as possible, it will collapse completely in a short time and the taste will become poor.

Usually only kings and great nobles can enjoy it.

Some little nobles, commoners and slaves have not even heard of it.

Sha Zoe Kwon raised his chin blankly when he was complimenting himself, “Please sit down, Mr. Abel.”

When the knight came to the castle to report, he had already explained the identity of Boris Abel, the vice president of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce.

Boris Abel’s charming green eyes are facing the sun, and there seems to be a gleam of light inside: “You don’t need to be so dismissive, Lord Earl, you can call me Boris.”

Xia Zuoyi: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to be called when I’m not familiar, I’m a little scared.”

Boris didn’t seem to feel embarrassed about being ruthlessly returned.

He said: “I just want to get close to Lord Earl. After all, you are so cute, and you can manage Wesas and Fort Comoy in an orderly manner at a young age…”

“Oh, by the way, and the Chamber of Thorns, the rose salt you dried in the Cogit Sea is really very popular.”

Xia Zuoyi nodded more calmly: “I’m overwhelmed. After I got such a good salt, I already anticipated that it will sell well in the future.”

“After all, everyone needs salt in their homes, and who doesn’t want refined salt with a cheaper price and better quality?”

“Mr. Abel, are you right?”

“Oh, forgot to say, you are also very cute.”

…

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the house inevitably changed from quiet to quiet.

Vincent sneaked a glance at Master Boris’ expression without a trace, and found that the corners of his mouth were slightly stiff, and the arc paused.

puff.

Vincent couldn’t help lowering his head and pursing his mouth vigorously.

Boris gave a light cough, “…Master Earl can really be joking.”

He went directly to the topic: “The rose salt sold by the Thorns Chamber of Commerce has seriously affected the sale of Nagabi salt, although the sale of salt is only one of the profits of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, which can be…”

Boris frowned suddenly, and pressed his right hand to his lips, seeming to be holding back something.

Afterwards, he continued: “However, Nagabi Salt was forced to withdraw from Gadaat, which directly caused us to lose nearly 40% of our profits.”

“Do you have anything to say, Lord Earl?”

Xia Zoe: “Justified business competition.”

“The choice of nobles, commoners or slaves is beyond my control. What do you think of rose salt? Can you still use coarse…Nagabi salt to cook meals after getting rose salt?”

Jadayat even began to think that the dishes made with rose salt are the most delicate and delicious.

Boris smiled unimpressed: “I don’t deny that compared to Nagabi salt, most people choose rose salt to make food.”

“But once Nagabi salt can be produced, refined and purified on a large scale… I believe it should be no worse than rose salt.”

He kept his right hand against his mouth, and only moved a little when he spoke.

Xia Zoe stared at his face, with some cares in his heart.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Boris looked at himself with a pair of beautiful caramel eyes very seriously. He couldn’t help but sit on the back of the chair, his eyes gleaming and said: “Why don’t you speak, Lord Earl?”

Xia Zoe retracted his small eyes and asked, “How many days will you stay in Visas?”

Boris: “Maybe one day, maybe two days or more, and we will leave when we get what we want. It all depends on what Lord Earl wants to do.”

After watching the little earl think for a while, he suddenly turned his head and whispered to the butler beside him.

“Udit, go to my alchemy lab and get the potion I gave Toby before.”

“Yes, Lord Earl.”

Across the long table, Boris could not hear.

Udit bowed slightly and walked out of the study.

Xia Zoe said to Boris: “Wait a minute, I have a good thing for you.”

Boris: “…?”

He found that not only had he not shed tears from the little earl’s bullying and harp, but he felt a bit choked in his heart.

After a while.

Judit entered the room again.

Xia Zoe said: “Udette, give things to Mr. Abel.”

Judit heard the words and put a corked jar that was not big or small on the table in front of Boris.

Immediately walked back to Xia Zoe’s side.

“What is this?”

Boris raised his eyebrows and curiously picked up the jar and shook it slightly. There was a sound of liquid sloshing inside.

He tried to guess: “Is it wine? Give it to me?”

Xia Zuoyi: “It’s not alcohol, it’s a medicine for treating cough and fever. I’ll drink it for you.”

Toby’s illness is just right.

This pot of medicine was also reserved by Xia Zoe to prevent Toby’s recurrence.

The shelf life of the medicine is not short.

He could see that Mr. Boris Abel was enduring a cough, his nasal sound was slightly pronounced, his complexion was slightly worse, and his eyebrows were often frowned inadvertently, which should be a little uncomfortable.

Boris grabbed a little smile and put the potion back on the table: “Master Earl is so kind to the person you meet for the first time?”

The number of times he fell ill from childhood to adulthood is countable.

Every time I get sick, I never see a doctor, and I survived it by myself. The mildest condition will get better in a few days, and the serious condition is nothing to him.

Boris hated the doctor.

Xia Zuoy glanced at him and said, “Not really.”

“But if you are sick as soon as possible, what if you are stupid at a young age?”

Boris: “…”

He always felt that this sentence was a bit wrong.

Boris: “Can I open it and have a look?”

“can.”

Boris pulled out the stopper blocking the mouth of the jar.

Suddenly, an indescribable weird smell that made people feel a little nauseous floated out of it.

Vincent stood behind, almost uncontrollably covering his nose. Fortunately, his good cultivation made him let go of his hands.

Boris endured the unpleasant smell and glanced into the jar.

“…”

The jar was full of scum and black liquid.

Boris’ expression has changed several times, and it is difficult to describe it.

He looked at Xia Zoe in his eyes as if he was saying-“Are you trying to poison me with black hands?”

Vincent couldn’t help but said: “My Lord Earl, you are still young after all. Some things…may not be well thought out.”

“Although the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce is far away in the Anas Empire, the network and power of the Chamber of Commerce are not what you can imagine. Master Boris’s position in the Chamber of Commerce is also extremely important… I hope you must think about the benefits before you do anything.”

He was afraid that the little earl in front of him would want it regardless of importance… I was afraid that he could not bear the anger of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce.

Obviously, Vincent and Boris had the same idea.

Moreover, he looked warily at the two tall and mighty knights standing behind Desinia, fearing that they would suddenly rush over to suppress them.

Xia Zoe: “…”

You can really make up your mind.

He said: “This is a pot of ordinary plant medicine. It has a very good effect on the treatment of runny nose, nasal congestion, cough and fever.”

Boris and Vincent obviously didn’t believe it.

Xia Zoe: “You can ask in the castle at will. A few days ago, a boy named Toby contracted the above symptoms because of a cold. It was only after taking this medicine that he got better.”

“It worked in three days and healed.”

Boris couldn’t help frowning: “How could it get better so quickly?!”

Xia Zuoyi: “But this is the truth. I will not be stupid enough to murder someone who is not an enemy. After inquiring, I might as well have a drink.”

“When your illness is cured, we can have a friendly conversation again.”

I, must take the initiative.

Xia Zoe smiled “friendly” to Boris:)
