Magic Industry Empire - 886. Chapter 886
When the sun was slanting up in the sky, a convoy of seven carriages slowly stopped outside the gate of Laru City.
Count Nasaps, the city lord of Lalu, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, immediately greeted him, and behind him were the nobles with status and status in Lalu.
It’s just that these big figures who are usually aloof in the city of Laru, in front of this train team today, have bent their arrogant bodies one by one, even with a hint of humility in their faces.
There is only one reason for them to do this, and that is the family emblem on the seven carriages in the train fleet, which symbolizes the Windsor family, the largest family in the southern province of the Candela Empire.
And the one who came to Lalu this time was the current patriarch of the Windsor family and the subordinate sent by the Duke of Windsor to inspect Lalu.
Although the status of these subordinates may not be as good as that of most people present, they have to show sufficient respect and awe because they represent the will of the Duke of Windsor.
The first carriage stopped in front of the Earl of Nasaps, the door opened, and a middle-aged man about forty years old walked down.
After seeing him, Earl Nasaps couldn’t help but stunned.
This middle-aged man is the governor of the Governor’s House, Ai Madu. Although he is not high in his position, he is a close friend of the Duke of Windsor and is highly trusted by the Duke of Windsor.
However, in his capacity, he is not suitable to serve as a special envoy for inspections.
Chief Emado apparently saw the doubt in the heart of Count Nasaps, walked over, and whispered in his ear: “Earl, the Duchess is also here this time, please make arrangements.”
“Huh?” Count Nasaps was taken aback.
Isn’t it just an ordinary inspection delegation? How come even the noble duchess is here?
Questioning in his mind, the door of the third carriage opened, and a young maid-like woman jumped out of it, and then a lady walked down slowly and gracefully from above.
As the lord of Laru, the third largest city in the southern province, the Earl of Nasaps has seen the Duchess of Windsor personally at many banquets in the Governor’s Palace, and of course he recognized it at a glance.
He couldn’t think about it, he hurried up, and solemnly saluted the Duchess of Windsor, and said with a smile: “Duchess, it is an honor for us to be here for you to be here.”
Even if the other nobles in Lalu didn’t all know the Duchess of Windsor, they saw the movements of the Earl of Nasaps and heard what he said. The lady saluted.
The Duchess of Windsor waved her hand casually: “Okay, I’m just coming out to relax, you don’t need to pay too much attention to me, do your business.”
Although she said so, as the duchess, since she has already arrived here, how could the Earl of Nasaps and the others really not care?
As a result, all the procedures for welcoming the inspection team set by the Earl of Nasaps were no longer important, and the focus immediately shifted to how to greet and entertain the Duchess of Windsor.
The time is rushed, but the city of Laru is a little rushed up and down.
Fortunately, the Duchess of Windsor was very easy-going, and directly freed Earl Nasaps from the tedious etiquette, and the group entered the city of Larue smoothly.
“Madam, if you want to relax, I strongly recommend to you the Alps, 30 kilometers east of the city. It is late spring. The flowers and plants on the mountain are beautifully blooming, the temperature is cool, the air is fresh, and there is a large open area at the foot of the mountain. You can enjoy horseback riding on the lawn. Next to it is a private estate that I’ve set up a long time ago. After you go…”
The Earl of Nasaps and the Duchess of Windsor rode in the same carriage and drove towards the city lord’s mansion while trying hard to introduce her to the nearby attractions of Lalu.
The Duchess of Windsor listened indifferently, only nodding her head occasionally to show her agreement.
This performance made Earl Nasaps a little uneasy.
It is strange enough that the Duchess of Windsor suddenly came here. Why does she show such an attitude?
Is she really just here to relax?
Count Nasaps didn’t believe it.
But the Duchess of Windsor didn’t speak much along the way, but it made him feel a little bit helpless.
When the carriage drove through several streets and was about to turn to the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion, the Duchess of Windsor, who had been silent, suddenly whispered and pointed out the carriage window.
“What are you doing?”
Count Nasaps looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw that the street on the left was crowded with people. It was extremely noisy and very noisy.
“Oh, this is the commercial street in this city. So many days today…maybe what activities the commercial street is doing? This is also a common thing. After all, this commercial street is the most prosperous place nearby. People in the surrounding towns Most of them will come here…”
“No.” The Duchess of Windsor shook her head, interrupting Earl Nasaps. “If it’s just an ordinary activity, it’s impossible to attract so many people. And you see, these people who come out are holding the same thing in their hands. It seems that they should be bought in a store.”
Count Nasaps was taken aback, staring attentively, and found that among the people squeezed out of the crowded crowd, each of them was holding several pieces of clothing that looked very bright in color. It was obvious that they were all from the same family. clothing store.
“Go and ask what’s going on.” The Duchess of Windsor said suddenly.
The Earl of Nasaps was feeling that the Duchess of Windsor’s observation ability was so good, and suddenly he was shocked when he heard this sentence.
Why is the Duchess so curious about this kind of thing? It’s really strange.
But of course he would not go against the intentions of the Duchess of Windsor and find two guards of the castle mansion to ask them to ask.
A few minutes later, a guard returned to report.
“The Lord of the City, it is said that a shop selling clothes in a shopping street is holding some promotional activities. The minimum price of each finished garment is only fifty silver coins. They started the promotion three days ago. Because it is cheap, it is officially sold today. , It attracted so many people to buy it.”
“A piece of finished clothing only sells for fifty silver coins?” The Earl of Nasaps and the Duchess of Windsor looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Although their usual clothes are obviously not at the same level as those worn by ordinary civilians, it does not mean that they are completely ignorant of the price of civilian clothing.
At the prevailing market price in the southern provinces, even a finished piece of clothing woven from ordinary coarse cloth, the lowest price is more than two gold coins.
Many civilians simply can’t afford such a price, so most civilians simply weave and make clothes by themselves, without spending money to buy them.
Over time, most tailor shops simply did not make ordinary civilians’ clothes, and only made them personally for the wealthy aristocratic merchants, and the prices were naturally higher.
Now this shop is actually selling at the price of fifty silver coins per piece. Are you afraid of losing money?
“Go buy some and let me see.” The Duchess of Windsor ordered.
Count Nasaps winked at the guard, and the guard immediately squeezed in.
“Earl Nasaps, it is really unexpected that there is such an interesting chamber of commerce in Lalu.” The Duchess of Windsor suddenly smiled at the Earl of Nasaps.
Seeing the smile on the face of the Duchess of Windsor, Earl Nasaps felt tight in his heart, and could only accompany with a smile: “These merchants always come up with some weird thoughts.”
“Really?” The Duchess of Windsor suddenly turned her head to look west, her expression complicated, and she didn’t know what she was thinking.
Glancing at the look on her face, Earl Nasaps didn’t say anything interestingly.
After a long silence in the carriage, the two guards returned at the same time, holding a large pile of clothes in their hands.
The Duchess of Windsor and the Earl of Nasaps just glanced at these clothes, and yelled at the same time.
You can see that these clothes are very well made, and the material is not the most inferior linen, but it should be the cotton cloth that many civilians prefer, and the dyeing is quite uniform, and it does not look like that kind of crude and shoddy. thing.
The two of them had been injured from the guard and took a few pieces of clothes in their hands. They felt that the fabric of the clothes in their hands felt quite good, which was completely different from the fabric of the homemade clothes worn by most civilians.
In order to prove his idea, Earl Nasaps even reached out and touched the clothes under the armor of the guard, confirming that the fabric of the clothes in his hand felt even better than the clothes on the guard.
You must know that the salaries of his guards are not low, and the clothes he wears are far better than those worn by most civilians.
And the lowest price of such a dress is only fifty silver coins, which is incredible.
On the other side, the Duchess of Windsor’s concerns are completely different from those of the Earl of Nasaps.
She just touched it, and immediately confirmed that the fabrics of these clothes were of fine weaving and was by no means ordinary quality.
After carefully observing the details on some clothes, you will find that the sewing of these clothes is equally fine, and each pinhole and line are almost exactly the same, which looks extremely neat.
Apart from other things, just relying on such needlework skills is enough to become a high-level tailor in any city in the southern province, and the clothes they sew are absolutely expensive.
After a pause, the Duchess of Windsor fully extended her clothes with her hands in her hands. She only glanced at it, and couldn’t help but let out another cry of surprise.
This dress is a long one-piece dress, not only the fabric is exquisitely crafted, but even the style looks extremely exquisite.
The overall design is very simple at first glance, but if you look closely, you will be aware of the luxury of this dress from various details.
From a purely design point of view, compared with this long dress designed by the top costume master of the Candela Empire and priced at 800 gold coins, it may not be as good as, but not far from it.
The Duchess of Windsor can be sure that with such an excellent design, if it is replaced with more expensive fabrics, as long as it is used with such fine workmanship, it can definitely be sold at a high price of no less than five hundred gold coins in any city in the empire.
But now…
“How much is this dress?” the Duchess of Windsor asked the two guards.
The two guards scratched their heads: “We didn’t ask clearly, we just threw them ten gold coins, and they let us pick ten randomly…”
Both the Duchess of Windsor and the Earl of Nasaps were taken aback: “Ten gold coins? Ten?”
The two looked at each other, and they could see that the look in each other’s eyes was completely incredulous.
The average price of such a good piece of clothing is only a gold coin?
Also let other tailor shops live!
