Chapter 2 I also want an inheritance!

 Chapter 73 I also want an inheritance!? (First order requested)

"You also said you are not in the musket business! Is there anything else that the navy and army need?" Christina stopped Alphonse who was about to go upstairs and shouted.

"It is true that I am not in the musket business. As for what the navy and army need, you need to observe carefully." Alphonse smiled, turned to Alfred and smiled: "Send a roast beef to the workshop.

Legs go, they have worked hard during this period."

"Yes." Alfred bowed and replied. He never imagined that Alphonse had just received another 300,000 livres in cash, and only needed to pay 4% annual interest, and did not even need to bear any investment.

In the name of!

"Are you happy? Inheritance hmm? Can I share a little bit?" Christina thought it was Alfonse who was fooling Rie.

"What do you think of this excuse? Armand and Yvette will probably regret it so much after they find out about it. They will cry and beg you to go back to the manor," Alphonse replied with a smile.

There is nothing better than using inheritance as an excuse to justify huge unidentified assets; no one even knows how much inheritance they have received; it is 200,000 livres now, and it may become several million in a few years, but who knows?

I can't say anything...

"It's useless to regret, I won't give them even a sou!" Kristina hummed, and happily went back to the room to look in the mirror with her hands behind her back...

"Mayor, please stay!" Robert Pitt said goodbye with a smile and left the mayor's house in Calais. He put on his hat and got on the carriage drive: "Let's go directly to the dock."

"Yes, sir." The coachman hurriedly drove the carriage towards the dock slowly. The coachman knew Robert Pitt's habits very well. He always liked to think about things in the car.

The coachman's guess was correct. Robert Pitt was indeed thinking about things. He originally came to Calais after going to Boulogne to visit the Viscount of Boulogne. He just planned to say hello to the mayor of Calais and ask him to help dig.

A few workers from Alphonse; but the mayor told him directly that Alphonse could no longer be provoked. Only then did he learn that Alphonse had actually established a so-called business alliance in Calais.

When it comes to business alliances, the distant ones include the former Kalmar Union and the more recent ones include the Dutch East India Company. However, this kind of business alliance composed of local forces may not be the richest, but it is the most difficult to deal with.
p>

Why? Because of xenophobia; we are all Calais people, and we benefit from helping each other and gain fame. If we help outsiders, we will probably offend the entire country and have to get out of Calais in the end. Because of this,

Even the local mayor made a comment that he was "not to be messed with"...

However, since he couldn't dig out Alphonse's workers, Robert Pitt had no better way at the moment. He could only ask the mayor to keep an eye on some news for him; if there was any important news, he must tell himself in time, maybe

What are the benefits of seizing the opportunity to get something?

On this side, Rieux finally had a peaceful sleep after returning to the hotel. When he first arrived, he felt that Alphonse's power that covered the sky with one hand made it difficult for him to sleep and eat well. Now he wished that Calais was Alphonse's.

Private property!

Thinking about the bright future again: the mayor of Calais, the annual income of 10,000 livres, and the retaliation when big shots make things difficult for him in the future, all make him feel as comfortable as eating honey...

But when he woke up, he realized that he probably couldn't get too close to Armand and Yvette: Alphonse's biggest source of wealth was the unknown inheritance. If he accidentally revealed it, or someone else would

If he told the Armands and they asked him for confirmation, it would bring trouble to Alphonse!

And this also means that he must have offended Alphonse severely. At that time, let alone seeking asylum, it would be great if Alphonse did not sell him first! Thinking of this, he made up his mind never to go to the manor again, and he would definitely

You have to avoid this couple!

Yes, this stupid couple, if they hadn't stupidly swept away this inheritance, they wouldn't have so many things to do!

During the dinner, Rie became more and more attentive and took the initiative to reveal to Alphonse the aspects from which he would describe how Alphonse's workshop was worth investing in; and how he would describe the future vision of Alphonse's workshop.

, and also said that he would definitely send the written report to Alphonse for correction!

And Alphonse naturally said that he would take him to meet bankers and high-quality properties nearby in the past few days to lay the foundation for his future comfortable life in Calais...

"I doubt you are sending women to the army, are you? What kind of business can make tens of thousands of livres a month? This is too exaggerated." After all, Christina was also at the dinner and heard the vision mentioned by Rie, even if

It's not true, but if you can convince the Louvre, at least in their opinion, it's completely achievable! Unfortunately, with Christina's limited brain, she really can't figure out what kind of business this is that can make money for others in a month.

How many lifetimes does it take to earn money?

"It seems that hiring a tutor for you is particularly urgent. Your poor brain is not even enough to support you in thinking about my business from a positive perspective." Alphonse said with a smile.

"I don't need a tutor, what I need is a swordsmanship teacher." Christina replied.

"That's it. You're going to a boarding school to study. Please pack your luggage sometime. Don't bring a mirror either. The journey is long." Alphonse stood up and said.

"I will take away the inheritance!" Christina stood up and said.

"Take it with you, take as much as you have." Alphonse shrugged.

"Okay, you can have a tutor, but you also need a swordsmanship teacher, and yes, a math teacher." Christina replied.

"That's right, hurry up and wash your face, feet, change clothes and go to bed. I'll invite a tutor for you in at most half a month; then a math teacher, then an etiquette teacher, and finally a swordsmanship teacher." Alphonse replied.

Tao.

"You evil vampire! You shamelessly oppressed me when I was young!" Kristina made a face and hurried back to the room to avoid being caught by Alfonse who wanted to send her to boarding school.

In the next few days, Alphonse took Baiserion to see the progress of the cannon casting in the factory. By the way, he asked the workshop to work with the carpenters to make an angle adjuster. He was just waiting for the money to be received to deliver the cannon on time.

.In the remaining time, Kristina had nothing to do with learning swordsmanship from Baiserion, or accepting visits from Mrs. Desai for advice.

In addition, Alphonse mainly accompanied Rie to visit several houses and chose two to make reservations. He also went to the bank. Of course, Alphonse only said that he was a friend who wanted to do business with him and he accompanied his friend.

Let’s take a look at the bank first; when the time comes, Rie can rest assured that Alphonse will naturally be able to mobilize the funds for investment.

Five days later, with everything ready, Rieux took the first prototype cannon to Paris, and Anal arrived in Calais!

The night was dark, but half of the carriages in Calais were moving. In order to quickly transport 62 artillery pieces (together with 2 prototype cannons) and related equipment to the Spanish, Alphonse directly prepared 70 carriages to transport the artillery pieces overnight.

Deliver the equipment, molds, and drawings to the Spanish!

At the same time, they also pulled back large iron boxes one by one. After all the cannons were delivered to the ship, and Baiserion also insisted on delivering all 220 pounds of gold on the ship to Alphonse, the joint code was agreed upon.

Then set sail overnight!

"Sir." When Alphonse returned to the house, the entire hall was filled with large boxes. The two carriages that brought the gold had not left. They were still waiting at the door. There were also accountants and staff from the bank staying here.

"Open the box and check it, and then send it to the bank vault after counting." Alphonse smiled. It was a total of 220 pounds of gold. It was very eye-catching to open the box and calculate it in public; but to be honest, the bank

Not only is there so much money stored in it, but if the gold were to become a thief, this bank would have collapsed a long time ago.

Kristina was also stunned. She was holding the flintlock gun in her arms and stood upstairs with her mouth open, watching the staff open boxes one by one, weighing the gold, registering the numbers, and then transporting them away. She had been doing this since midnight.

I worked hard until dawn before delivering the last box of gold!

"A total of 880 4-ounce gold bars, each equivalent to 225 livres, a total of 198,000 livres, Mr. De Moller." Santorini, the bank's chief accountant in charge of this count, handed the record book to Alfang

Si said respectfully.

"Of which 45,000 livres need to be added to the merchant alliance's account, and another 3,000 livres need to be spent on the expansion of the house. Let's reserve the remaining 150,000 livres first." Alphonse handed the record book to Al.

Fred smiled.

"Yes, Mr. De Moller, let's take our leave first." Santorini left with the manpower who had been busy all night, and Alphonse asked Alfred to send 2 to each of them.

Hard-earned money ranging from 5 livres to 100 livres in tips alone...

"God, you have so much money!" Christina, who was almost paralyzed on the ground, hugged the railing and said to Alphonse.

"Are you surprised? Then you have to learn to get used to it, because before long, I will have more." Alphonse said with a smile.

"Just because I spent 10 livres a month, my aunt kicked me out of the house. Are you really a person of the same world?" Christina replied.

"If she doesn't kick you out, how can you live a life that costs... uh... currently 50 livres a month? Right." Alphonse smiled.

"Yes, I can't believe that Mr. Juan is so rich." Kristina sighed again: "I should have known him as my teacher, waited for him to die alone, and left his inheritance to me."

"Then you wait until the next life. Baiserion will have a third child soon." Alphonse curled his lips and replied.
