Chapter 264 [Such Conditions]

In the evening, Du Wei asked Made to decorate a small banquet hall, and asked the kitchen to prepare some exquisite dishes.  Was in the dining room very early, waiting for the arrival of the Marchioness.

When the servant opened the door and ushered Mrs. Liszt in, Du Wei couldn't help being dazzled for a while when he saw the woman coming.

Mrs. Liszt had an elegant smile on her face, and a red evening dress on her body made her look like a delicate and blooming rose. The well-cut style fully reveals her slender waist. Her elegant demeanor, coupled with a face of a young girl, seems to combine the two completely different charms of innocence and maturity. And it fit perfectly on her body. With such a devilish figure, coupled with a perfect face, and that charming demeanor, Du Wei lost his mind for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Liszt smiled at Du Wei, bowed her body, and said softly: My lord, am I late?

Du Wei coughed lightly, stood up, pulled out the chair for her personally, and said with a smile: No, no.   It's just that I lost my composure when I saw the lady's charming demeanor just now.  

Mrs. Liszt glanced at Du Wei faintly, her eyes were filled with a heart-pounding resentment, and she whispered: I'm afraid the Duke is insincere, I have been in the Northwest for so long, and this is the first time you have invited me alone. Let’s have dinner together. ”

Du Wei turned his head.  Pretending to get the wine bottle on the table, avoiding Mrs. Liszt's eyes, and then waved to let all the waiters in the room go out.

When the door was closed, Du Wei had calmly stood beside Mrs. Liszt, poured her a glass of wine with his own hands, and then said with a smile: Madam is blaming me for neglecting the honored guest. The nobles know that I dare to neglect the number one beauty of our Roland Empire. I’m afraid I will be drowned by people’s spit. ”

Then Du Wei went back to his seat and sat down, raised his glass and signaled from a distance: I'll toast to my wife first.   Just because I neglected the beauty, let me express my apology first.  

Mrs. Liszt smiled, and the two raised their glasses as a gesture. Du Wei drank it down in one gulp, and Mrs. Liszt just tasted it.

Du Wei then poured himself a second glass of wine, and said with a smile: This second glass is to wish my wife beauty and eternity.  My Tulip family and the Liszt family have a good relationship forever.  

The Marquise chuckled, and drank a little more from the second cup.

After the two cups passed, Du Wei poured the wine again, raised his cup and said, The third cup, I want to thank you... Dardanelle told me...

Before Du Wei could finish speaking, Mrs. Liszt interrupted him. The beauty covered her mouth lightly, and gave Du Wei a half-angry, half-resentful look. The eyes are charming, and the voice is soft as if it is about to drip: Duchess, you have so many skills, you don't want to get me drunk. 

Where! Du Wei didn't change his face, as if he was not intimidated by the other party's beauty: The third cup is to express my gratitude to you, thank you for giving me a good idea.  Mmm.  You can drink this cup You don’t need to drink it, I’ll just drink it myself. ”

After three glasses of wine in a row, Du Wei couldn't help taking a breath, then put down his glass, looked at the Marquise, and said, Actually, besides being grateful, I also admire Madam's talent. If It's not your idea, but I don't know how long I'll have a headache. 

The Marchioness pursed her lips and smiled. Then he said lightly: My lord duke is so smart.   Is there anything that can be difficult for you? I'm afraid I came up with random ideas and made you laugh.   I just hope you don't blame me for talking too much.   I understand it myself.   I am a woman, How knowledgeable can you be, so it’s not easy to say a little nonsense, so I can only ask Lord Dardanelle to do it for you. ”

Madam's thoughts, I deeply feel them.   Du Wei said solemnly.

The Marquise suddenly stared at Du Wei with a pair of eyes, the eyes fluttered, and there was a deep meaning in the dimness, which made Du Wei feel a little bit overwhelmed, but this time before he jumped out of the subject, the Marquise had already started laughing Laughing, he said: I want to come tonight, the Duke invited me to dinner, just for this matter. If there is no such matter, would you just ignore me?...

Du Wei coughed, smiled, and was about to speak...

Well, Your Excellency the Duke.   Mrs. Liszt turned her head and thought about it—I have to admit that her gesture is really charming, and it took a lot of perseverance for Du Wei to look away. Your Excellency... If you still want to say thank you, then there is no need. If you really want to express your gratitude, then I want you to ask for one thing. I wonder if you can agree?

Du Wei's heart suddenly jumped... Could it be that he asked for marriage again? A lot of words Well, probably not.

As long as it's within my power.  Du Wei sighed, but put his words to death first.

The Marquise smiled, and gave Du Wei a charming look, with a playful look in her eyes, which seemed to mean: I knew you would say that a long time ago.

Don't worry, what I'm asking for is not difficult, and you can definitely do it.  

Du Wei felt uneasy, and suddenly regretted a bit: I am very good, why do I ask for trouble to invite this woman to dinner? When it was daytime, my mind was dizzy.

Only by staying with this woman alone can I feel the compelling beauty and heart-pounding charm of the other person.

You must also know.  My Liszt family is a family of merchants. Although I... well, although I have a hard life and my husband died early, His Majesty took pity on me and gave me the title of Marquis.  But this is only a lifetime title , not hereditary.   The Marquis whispered softly: My Liszt family is not a noble lord, so I don't have my own territory.  Before, I didn't like the excitement, and I wasn't tired of the troublesome things in the imperial capital. . I have always lived at home in the north. Although my Liszt family has no territory, after all these years, there are still some foundations. In the north, there is a castle and manor, and there are two other farms. That farm is also used by the White Feather Knights to station and train troops. ”

Du Wei heard her suddenly talk about her family affairs.  Can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But I was puzzled in my heart.

...Duke, you know that my Liszt family started with maritime trade, but in recent years, the empire's military expenditure has been reduced, and the expedition to the South Seas has not been carried out for several years. Will intentionally reduce military spending.   I am afraid that in the short term, the empire will not use troops in Nanyang.   Above Nanyang, there is not much potential for trade profits to be tapped. If there is no support from the Imperial Expeditionary Force, I am afraid that it will be even more unprofitable in the next few years. It can be seen.  I have decided to gradually reduce this maritime trade.  ” Speaking of this. She paused for a while, then deliberately glanced at Du Wei, slowly picked up the wine glass, and took a half sip. Her face, which was originally white and jade-like, seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge as soon as she was steamed by the alcohol.  Eye waves are even more blurred and intoxicating.

I'm afraid the so-called Yan Shi Mei Xing is just like this.

Du Wei cleared his throat, and said slowly: Madam has such a decision, which is also admirable.   Nanyang trade is huge, but Madam can focus on the future and accept it when she knows it is good. It is already beyond the reach of ordinary people.  

The Marquise giggled, and then gave Du Wei another look: Your Excellency, don't say your compliments too early. I'm afraid you'll frown when I say what I'll say later. 

Du Wei pondered for a while.  Picked up the wine glass and took a sip: Ma'am.  You just said that I have something to do...does it have something to do with the family business you mentioned?

That's right. Mrs. Liszt sighed deliberately: I am a woman, although I am the head of the family.   Over the years, I have finally lived up to my father's entrustment.   But as the days go by, I feel extremely tired in my heart.  Brother My sister is young, and all these years, I have supported myself alone, but few people know the pain in my heart... Sigh.   No matter what, I can't see the Liszt family go down, and I can't bear to see the foundation left by my father go down. I can work hard step by step. ”

Du Wei didn't interrupt, he realized that what the other party said next was just drama!

Maritime trade is shrinking day by day.   After thinking about it... this trip to the northwest, I saw that the Desa province is rising and prospering under your governance.   Although the relationship with the grassland people is still a little tense, but It is still stable within the port, and you are sitting at the border, and the entire trade on the grassland has to go through the province of Desa. There are also a lot of business opportunities here. Hmm...So, I thought for a long time before doing it I only hope that you can support this decision.  ”….

Suddenly, Du Wei's heart moved, and he faintly guessed the lady's intentions, and couldn't help but blurted out: Do you mean...

I plan to move the Liszt family to the northwest!

Hearing the Marquise say this in a serious tone, Du Wei couldn't help but stunned.

The Marquise looked at Du Wei's expression, and suddenly smiled: Look, I'm right, you really frowned when you heard it. 

Du Wei couldn't help being a little embarrassed, but fortunately the Marquis didn't have any intention of pursuing it. She smiled lightly and continued: There will be a lot of business opportunities here in the Northwest in the next few years...and, let's say something disrespectful. The two provinces of Desanurin in the northwest are important places for war preparations. Whether it is weapons or armaments or food and grass tents, my Liszt family has been involved in these businesses.   It is better to plan early, take root here now, and only in the future can it be occupied First opportunity. ”

Du Wei pondered for a while, and the reason was correct. But Mrs. Liszt made such a request, I am afraid it is not purely for some business!

My lord, you are the one who decides the province of Desa. Since I have decided to move the family here, I must rely on your full support. 

Naturally. Du Wei agreed without hesitation. Under such circumstances, he couldn't help but refuse.

Well, I believe in the Duke's Jinkou.   However, you still need to worry about some things.   The Marquis thought for a while, and smiled: I have a few small requests, and I hope you can agree.

Du Wei sighed: Please tell me. 

First of all, I request to set up a house in Loulan City.   It will be used as the residence of the family. Although my Liszt family is not too big, the members of the family, including the servants in charge and the grooms, are three to five. There are still hundreds of people. Well, it’s best to be close to the Duke’s Mansion, where the streets are wide. The law and order are good. I can bid to buy land from the City Guard’s Mansion. How much is it. Just use the official price. ”

Secondly, since my family has moved here, the White Feather Knights of my family will naturally follow. Although the White Feather Knights are called 500 people, in fact, you and I both know that it is just a cover-up to avoid the imperial law. . Including those knights'retinues'. There are about 2,000 people in total. These two thousand cavalry cannot be stationed in the city...and... Speaking of this, Mrs. Liszt smiled slightly: Since I want to Joining forces with the Duke, of course I absolutely trust you.  I used to be in the north, so naturally I needed some force to protect myself.  But in the future, entrusting the Lord Duke’s territory, there is no need for this family’s knights to exist.  Anyway, I I think that once something happens. The Lord Duke will naturally give our family a protection area. So, after thinking and thinking, the two thousand White Feather Knights don’t need to be stationed in the city. Please, Lord Duke, set up another battalion in the military camp outside the city. , I let these white-feathered knights. From now on, they will all wear the armor of the Tulip family. It is enough to keep thirty or fifty people around me, and the rest will be assigned by the Duke from now on. , my Liszt family still bears half of it every year. ”

Is there a third... I know that the tulip private army, ordnance, weapons and armor under your command, Lord Duke, are all purchased from that guy from Delan Mountain Warcraft.   Although my Liszt family is not as good in the weapon business as that fat man It’s a big business, but it’s still a small one.  From now on, I’ll just treat you as if I’ve taken advantage of you. In the future, the Tulip family’s arms business will be handed over to our Liszt family.  I think the guy who came to Delan Mountain has a good relationship with me. You won’t resent me for stealing his business.   As for the price.   It’s half as low as that fat man’s price.  ”

There's a fourth...

The more Du Wei listened, the more frightened he became, and the expression on his face was revealed!

This... this woman!

Where is she begging me to do something? It's clearly a big sale at a loss... No! It is simply a big loss at a loss! ! !

Come down one by one. Although it is nominally to relocate the family to the province of Desa, but to myself, it is giving money (the arrival of such a commercial family will inevitably stimulate business, and the tax revenue will increase sharply), and it is giving away (a White Feather Knights I gave myself away!), and finally provided the army’s ordnance and weapons at a low price! !

Such a good thing, I am afraid that any local officials or lords of the empire, as long as they are not idiots, will never refuse! ! …

This Mrs. Liszt has a lot of courage, is she so bold and resolute in sticking the Liszt family with herself? !

Ma'am. Before the Marquise could say the fourth item, Du Wei waved his hand and looked at the other party with a half-smile: The conditions you mentioned... I think as long as you are not crazy, you can naturally wish for it. . It's just that, in this way, I'm taking advantage too much, and I feel a little uneasy. 

It's just a business. Mrs. Liszt smiled slightly: Although I seem to have paid a lot, I believe that the Duke is a man of great talent, and all my contributions are just investments. With you as a big tree, I think Li Si The Te family is bound to take root in the Northwest, and it will be rewarded in the future. ”

In this case... Du Wei pondered for a moment, and said, I can't accept it completely, otherwise, I'm afraid others will scold me for being too greedy. All the businesses of the Te family are exempt from tax, and within three years, the tax will be halved! After three years, the tax will be only 80%!

After saying this, the Marquise's face darkened instead, she stared at Du Wei in a daze for a while, and then sighed softly: You... just don't want to accept my kindness, do you?

On such a good night, with the wine in front of him, Du Wei couldn't help being shaken in his heart when the beauty sighed. Seeing Mrs. Liszt's face and resentful eyes, he couldn't help but take a sip of the wine to hide his insincere words, and changed the subject with a smile: Tonight's staple food is the best cook in the dungeon specially invited by Made, and I will invite my wife to taste it later. 

Mrs. Lister's eyes remained unchanged, but she lowered her head. After a long while, he raised his face, picked up the cup and drank it down, then glanced at Du Wei again, and said suddenly: I... It's very stuffy here, Mr. Duke, please accompany me to the garden.  

(There is another chapter tonight~!

How to settle the relationship with Liszt's family, it's tonight, this beautiful Yujie, marry or not? Well, Luo Li can do what I want, and Sister Yu can do what I want... We'll see, since we're playing ambiguously, let's just play it to the end!

By the way, there is only a thousand tickets away from breaking the record of the monthly ticket, and there are only a few days left in this month. Friends who have a monthly ticket, please support! It's time for the final sprint)
