Along the ice-free River Seine all the way to the north, Dunker was the only ice-free port in the north of the Gallic Empire.
As the third largest port in the empire and the most important trading center of the empire connecting the northern states of the western continent, Dunerke was one of the few commercial centers of the empire due to its thriving population and commercial development.
A few miles south of Dunerke, there is a vast black pine forest, the oldest trees in this black pine forest are more than 1,000 years old, because the legend is that the black pine forest is often infested with thieves and robbers, so few people who follow the rules dare to go deep into the forest.
The black pine forest is undulating, and behind a hill overlooking the Saine River, there is a wooden building made of pine forest.
Each of these wooden buildings is extremely large and spacious, and there are closed walkways between the wooden buildings, which are enough to isolate the howling cold wind.
These wooden buildings are obviously old, the outside of the wooden buildings are covered with thick fallen leaves and moss, and there are countless pineapples entangled on them, not to mention from a distance, even if you walk to the side of the wooden building, if you don't know the details of this place, it is impossible to find that there is such a building here.
Moreover, these wooden buildings are staggered with each other, and they are clearly distributed according to some kind of law that can cover and protect each other, and any wooden building is covered by the range of bows and arrows of other wooden buildings, and the defense power is extremely amazing.
When it was almost dark, in the hall on the first floor of a wooden house in the middle of these wooden buildings, nearly a hundred big men were standing quietly in the hall without moving.
The vice president of the Dunerke Chamber of Commerce, the largest miller in Dunerke, and the largest flour supplier in Dunerke, the black-bearded father who is known for his generosity and enthusiasm for public welfare in Dunerke and the surrounding areas is wearing a black bear fur coat, sitting on the only golden carving chair in the hall, holding a huge cigar, and looking at the nearly 100 arrogant and uninhibited men in the hall with a proud face.
Daddy Blackbeard had an unusually striking beard, and the black beard covered almost half of his face.
Like Lin Qi, he has a well-defined face, black hair, black eyes, and slightly black yellow skin, and he also has pure oriental blood.
But also like Lin Qi, Blackbeard's father is extremely majestic, and many Western men are not as tall as him.
Unlike Lin Qi's slightly bloated figure, Blackbeard's father is tall and majestic, and there is not the slightest fat on his body, all of which are strong and abnormal muscle bumps.
He sat on the big chair, like a steel statue, exuding a wild and hot suffocating aura.
"Very unfortunate news" waited for a cigar to run out, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and rubbed it to the ground with a heavy kick, and the blackbeard father roared in a gloomy face and whispered: "Very unfortunate news In the past year, the empire has once again been in good weather, damn it, the wheat in Lao Tzu's twenty warehouses is about to sprout, but he has not been able to sell a handful of flour" Nearly a hundred big men sighed at the same time, and they cursed the gods in the sky in unison, blaming them for why the empire had been so smooth and rainy in the past few years.
The curses of these great men are full of tricks, and all kinds of foul language are endless, and if there are people who are proficient in local dialects here, they will find that these great men come from at least seven different countries and regions in the north of the mainland.
"However, there is also good news" Daddy Blackbeard said with a smile after waiting for these big men to vent his anger with foul language, "The good news is that the business of our hotel is good, and the business at sea is also good, especially the brothers, the two gold ships of the Vyas Commercial Federation were obtained by the brothers, and this entry is enough to offset our losses in the flour trade." ” Clapping his hands vigorously, dozens of big men walked out from the back of the hall carrying heavy bronze boxes.
These two-foot-square bronze boxes were placed heavily on the ground, and when the big men lifted the lids, they revealed the gold coins and silver coins with white flowers.
"Therefore, this year the brothers can still have a fat year, but I would like to tell all the brothers that during the winter break period of three months, they must pray sincerely every day, praying that the empire will have a great drought next year, or a flood, or a locust plague, but it will no longer be smooth weather."
The big men clapped their feet and stomped their feet loudly, laughing wildly in unison.
The golden gold coins, the silver coins of the white flowers, the father is the father, he is still so bold, of course, it is also the brothers who work hard, otherwise the two gold ships will not be able to get their hands on it, where can they have such a fat year Just when the big men divided these gold and silver coins according to the number of their subordinates and according to the meritorious service status of this year, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the hammer walked in with heavy steps.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Master, the young master has caused some trouble in Berley, he has provoked a waste son of the Pavel family, and that kid actually found a dragoon and a bronze hat to find trouble with the young master.
Although the young master has a high means to deal with them, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future."
The big men who were shouting stopped at the same time, they all looked back at the hammer, and then I don't know who started, nearly a hundred big men pulled out the machete and axe on their waists at the same time, and roared angrily: "Chop the Pavel family and kill all the people in their family" Mixed in with the big Han group, there were several orcs with faces that were by no means human.
These hideous-looking orcs roared angrily: "Daddy, let's take our brothers to attack the noble manor and kill them all over the house, hahaha, this kind of thing is too common" The big men waved their weapons angrily, and they didn't take a Viscount family seriously at all.
There are only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, these big men are veterans of destroying people and robbing money.
Only the blackbearded father stood up casually, grinning a few times.
"The Pavel family is the Pavel family of Hausen, who is known as the light of the Imperial Army" Iron Hammer snorted sullenly, and he bowed his head and said: "Nahausen is now a major general of the empire, and he has a standing army of 10,000 people under his command, the young master has provoked the people of their family, and I heard that it has caused a lot of trouble to their family, I am afraid that they will be unfavorable to the young master."
Daddy Blackbeard waved his hand lightly: "You don't need your brothers to make a move, go back and have a good New Year."
Hmm, I remember that thirty years ago, didn't that Haosen join forces with us to do slave and weapons trading and find out the ledger at that time, if they really dare to provoke Lin Qi, send the ledger and witnesses to the Imperial Supervision Department, and we don't have to do the rest."
The big men in the wooden house were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed wildly.
Blackbeard's father is Blackbeard's father, and the imperial major general actually has a handle in his hands, which is really powerful.
Today's update in advance, the pig's head went out to drink, and I don't know when I'll be back.
Well, by the way, ask for a little recommendation vote, the more the merrier:
