Chapter 373 Liszt
The night is already deep, and even Nisborg, the capital of the Horn League and a city with rare nightlife in this era, has fallen into silence and darkness. .
In a hotel in the dock area, there was still a light on in a room on the second floor.
At the table by the window, a young but unshaven man wearing glasses was waving a quill and writing straightly on the paper.
His face was not tired, but showed a look of excitement. It seemed that he had trouble falling asleep today.
Words appeared one by one under the tip of his pen. Although the handwriting was sloppy, it revealed a spirit of vigor.
With a creak, the door to his room opened, but the man didn't seem to notice it at all.
"Ah~" The visitor smacked his mouth and yawned, and said slightly reproachfully:
"Liszt, you're not asleep yet! What time is it, I When I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw that there was light coming through the crack of your door, and I pushed it open. I said you were too careless, this is a foreign country, and I am not familiar with the place..."
The man known as Liszt finished writing the last paragraph and turned to look at his companion: "Ah, it's you! Haha, I made you worried. But I am so excited today!"
The companion showed a wry smile and said: "I understand, it's my first time coming to Cape Bay. I saw a city as big as Nisberg. Although I was very tired, I didn't sleep all night. How about it, today is an eye-opener, right?"
“It’s really an eye-opener!” Liszt clenched his fists excitedly, “I used to only hear about the prosperity of Jiaowan, but now seeing is believing, and it’s really well-deserved.”
The companion sighed 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 the governance of Master Graiman, Alda ...No, even the entire Northwest Bay will definitely not lose to the Horn Bay in the future."
The companion was a little unconvinced and walked to the table with an awkward smile, "Let me see what you have written. What? Ha, you don’t mind?”
Liszt picked up the thick notepad and handed it to his companion, "Feel free to read it, it's not something private."
The companion flipped through a few pages and muttered to himself: "You take a look at the things along the way. Have you written down everything you saw? Well, prices, taxes, currency...everything is covered!"
My companion narrowed his eyes: "Let me tell you...Liszt, your true identity is not sent by the Earl. A spy from Jiaowan, right?"
Liszt rolled his eyes: "Fuck you, isn't it normal for people in the business world to pay attention to this? Is your professional sensitivity so poor?"
"Haha, just kidding!"
Lister took the note, turned over a page and said: "The most important thing to me here is the tariffs between the states in the Bay. I think that in addition to 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 our lords in the northwest bay could be as enlightened as Jiaowan, giving up the immediate small profits and focusing on longer-term plans..."
This time it was my companion's turn to roll his eyes: "Huh, now we are thousands of miles away from the northwest bay, but you dare to say anything! A commoner actually dares to comment on the lord."< br>
Liszt turned a deaf ear to his companion's sarcasm: "Alas! It's a pity that Mr. Greimann's idea of a customs union is all to blame for those ignorant country bumpkins."
The country bumpkins in his mouth are Jean As for the squire and landowners of Arda, as soon as Paul proposed the "Customs Union" plan, it was aborted due to the strong opposition of these guys. At that time, Alda's business community was really excited for a while, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. A look of admiration immediately appeared in Liszt's eyes: "Supposedly, Mr. Grayman is only sixteen years old. He has never left the Northwest Bay, let alone a place like Cape Bay. How did he come up with the idea of establishing a customs union? Isn’t it too precocious to think like a genius?”
He sighed: "I really want to have a good chat with this Earl."
The companion reached out and touched his forehead in a dumbfounded way: "Friedrich List, Have you burned your brain? You are just an employee of a trading company, but you want to meet Mr. Grayman! Go back and try to go to Lake Town. Look at the Lord's Mansion with your poor appearance. Will the guards throw you into prison? "
Liszt muttered: "Lord Graiman is definitely not that kind of person. Let me tell you, although this young lord is wise, he is in a certain situation. He was too hesitant in some aspects. He should have persisted in the original customs union and used his status and power as a lord to eliminate those opponents. How could others give up after just a few words? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is cowardly..."
"Stop it, stop it! Don't say anything like this in front of me in the future. I have seniors and juniors, and I don't want to cause any trouble."
The companion, who was sweating on his forehead, quickly stopped Liszt from commenting on the lord's rebellion.
"It seems that you are so excited that your mind is a little unclear. Listen to my advice and have a good sleep. We have to do the tasks assigned to us by Boss Todd tomorrow."
These two men were sent to Cape Bay by the shipyard owner Bennett Todd to recruit shipbuilders. Mr. Todd no longer wanted to wait dryly for the shipyards with full orders to build commercial ships for him. He planned to Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
"Ah~ I'm going back to sleep. You should go to bed quickly, otherwise tomorrow will be unpleasant."
The companion turned around, opened the door, and walked outside.
"Let me give you a light. It's quite dark in the corridor."
Liszt picked up the candlestick and followed him out.
Unfortunately, when they booked the room, there were no adjacent rooms, and the companion's room was at the end of the corridor.
Liszt took the candlestick to the toilet again before slowly returning to the door of his room.
"Huh? Did I forget to lock the door again when I came out? This memory...but I shouldn't be robbed in such a short time."
After inserting the key into the keyhole, it obviously felt unlocked, and he laughed to himself.
After entering the room, there was no change in the objects inside, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s time to sleep!” After blowing out the candles, Liszt stretched and walked to the bed.
Just as I lay down, there was suddenly a noise outside.
Liszt was very surprised and didn't know what happened. The messy sounds were also mixed with yelling and crying.
Are they bandits? Ah, this is Cape Bay, where pirates are more likely!
But this is the capital of the Horned Bay Alliance!
There was light coming from the window. He jumped out of bed and ran to the window. He looked outside and saw countless torches lighting up the street in front of the hotel as bright as day. The building was already surrounded by a large group of people. .
No way? Are the robbers really here?
Liszt’s heart was hanging.
