The banquet at the Solid Stone Pass was held in an unusually grand manner.

This is the first time that Kant has officially appeared after actually taking control of this place, announcing that this place has been controlled by him, which can be regarded as announcing this matter to everyone, testing everyone's tone.

Of course, the mouth was good, and all the squires and knights who were invited came as promised.

There are also those who have not been invited.

For example, the managers of those large caravans stationed at the Solid Stone Pass, in the name of representing the caravan behind them, came to the official residence one after another, licking their faces, carrying all kinds of exquisite and expensive crafts, wanting to attend the banquet.

Kant treated him equally, allowing the group to enter the mansion for a banquet.

Even the civilians and the poor in the passes are treated preferentially.

Regular food is distributed free of charge.

Brown bread that is as hard as a stone baked with rancid flour.

and the air-dried meat and sausages at the bottom of the warehouse, which have been damp and hairy, are all free ingredients distributed among them.

These things are impossible for the knight lord to eat, even the guards in the official residence, or the slightly richer civilians will not eat them, only the lowest civilians and poor people will eat them.

But it is precisely the number of civilians and poor people at the bottom that is so large that it even causes competition.

No one is against Kant.

Almost everyone was praising the benevolence of the new lord.

Yes, in the eyes of these poor people and commoners, as well as small squires and small merchants, the Solid Stone Pass has indeed changed its lord, and the former Baron Dylan has been replaced by the current Baron Kant.

Of course, they can't tell the specifics, they just go with the flow.

The sorrow of the little people.

It's just that for them, it's really precious that these poor people and civilians have the opportunity to be fed.

The main reason is that these things are not Kant's own, they are all found in the treasury of the official residence at the solid stone pass, and they take other people's things to give their own favors, and this wave of prestige is worth it.

The banquet began in the official residence.

A few bards hired out there played and sang songs common to the Lion Principality.

Pretty maids walked through the crowd, adding desserts that were always decreasing on the long table, while also carrying ale in small wooden barrels for guests to enjoy the temptation of alcohol.

The knights of Swadia had already taken off their chain mail by this time.

Put on new and decent clothes.

With a smile on his face.

Every move carries the elegance of the aristocracy, and the conversation with the guests is very pleasant, which makes the atmosphere in this official residence even more rich, incomparably lively and harmonious.

This was arranged by Kant and Fattist.

After all, visitors need someone to guide them.

The Svadian knights, who are knights themselves in the kingdom, and even the status of minor nobles, can complete this task very well, at least chatting about the weather without the slightest problem.

What Kant needed was for everyone to feel the harmony and peace of this place.

He needed to stabilize the rocky pass.

Slowly nibby!

Beside them, the vassal knights who originally belonged to Baron Dylan also spread out and blended into the guests, most of them chatting with each other smiling, and there were obviously familiar people inside.

There are also a small number of grim-faced, sitting alone in the corner, drinking ale without making a sound.

Kant arranged for people to write them down one by one.

These are all die-hard members of Baron Dylan.

If there were no accidents, they would have been sent to a certain mountain peak to quell the demonic creatures, but for some unfortunate reason, these knights encountered even more terrifying and ferocious demonic creatures, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.

The end result was that no one survived.

He doesn't need a guy who can betray him at any time.

As for the idea that time will influence everything, Kant would not consider it.

Even Fatis wouldn't think about it.

What they have to do now is to quickly bring the solid stone pass into their control, whether it is overtly or secretly, to let everyone know that the current person in power is Kant from the Narun Desert!

At the same time, there is a better reputation to promote Kant's fame and spread it in the Lion Principality.

It's about strategic planning for the future.

Kant needed more than that.

And the entire Lion Principality, and even the Silverplate Kingdom further south!

The solid stone pass is just the main node carefully designed by Kant in order to reach into the Duchy of Lion and not be directly cut off by a sudden knife.

After all, the location of this pass is too striking.

"Looks good."

Kant held his glass in the center of the banquet.

Fatis stood next to him, and Baron Dylan, also waiting.

But at this time, the real protagonist is Kant, and everyone looks at him with fear and respect, as for Baron Dylan next to him, he has long been ignored by most people.

Even if someone looks at Baron Dylan, their eyes are a little playful.

This is the loser.

Baron Dylan's hands clenched at this gaze, and his teeth creaked.

Once upon a time, these guys, who were still humble and wanted to please themselves, dared to appear in front of them, pretending to look at him with contempt, and showing a pitiful and mocking smile?

But Baron Dylan could endure it, and his forbearance was even deeper than his brutal character.

He used to be the only one who forbeared, and now he has power.

The so-called brutality.

It's just a mask that was deliberately added to cover yourself!

Now he was obedient like a lamb, but in fact, Baron Dylan, who had already been connected with Countess Agasa, was still sneering in his heart, and he longed to see the faces of these fellows when his allies appeared in front of him.

Although Baron Kant will not be killed by his own hands, these people are not necessarily!

It didn't take long.

Because Countess Agasa's troops will arrive next week.

At that time, Kant, the little cub, was still in the solid stone pass, and these guys who came to the banquet were just about to leave but did not leave, after all, the banquet lasted for a full week, and it was a grand banquet.

For Baron Dylan, that's when the feast begins!

Everything is calm.

Kant didn't seem to be aware of it.

The entire Jianshi Pass was celebrated in great celebration for 6 days.

The drunken banquet was finally coming to an end, and all the little nobles and small merchants who came to the banquet gathered in the hall with satisfaction, talking to each other quite excitedly.

They received the news that Baron Kant was said to announce important arrangements for the salt trade.

There is a great possibility among them.

The salt trade that used to be in the desert will be transferred to the Solid Stone Pass!

And the amount of salt trade will increase exponentially, as long as someone can hold a large silver coin or a golden eagle, they can buy piles of fine white salt at the Jianshi Pass, there is no upper limit at all, and it will be sold out while supplies last!

Whoever has the money can make purchases, which is the most enthusiastic way for large caravans.

Near-monopoly.

Although there will be compromises and balances between the various large caravans, those small caravans will definitely not have the strength to be compromised, and can only be excluded from the huge profits of the salt trade.

But the reason why they are so happy is Kant's announcement.

Caravans at the Solid Stone Pass have priority!

In other words, the merchants of the Jianshi Pass can buy first.

Although in the end, these salts will be purchased by those big merchants, and the profits will definitely not be much, but as long as they change hands, they can get absolutely a lot of profits for small caravans, so why not!

This can also be involved with large caravans, and if you hug your thighs, it will be a better future!

Businessmen always care about themselves.

Now they are desperate for Kant to announce the news.

And the managers of those large caravans are still standing in place and listening, for them, it is just a little profit, and they can get more profits, and there is no problem at all.

The exchange of interests between businessmen is sometimes as simple as that.

As for the interests of Baron Kant.

Everyone automatically ignores.

None of them are fools, if they can hold the thighs of stronger nobles, they don't need the help of the little baron Kant at all, they all know in their hearts that this baron can't actually control the stone pass for too long.

It is true to take advantage of this time to make a lot of money and obtain the relationship of some large caravans.

It's the same idea as the vassal knights!

Kant came to the specially built stage.

Looking at the group of guests in front of him who were eagerly staring at him, his eyes flashing with various emotions, the corners of Kant's mouth turned up slightly, and he said: "You may know about the salt trade that I want to announce in the future. ”

"That's right!"

The crowd cheered.

Kant pressed his hands down, signaling calm.

Looking at them, he also said without hesitation: "Next, the salt trade will indeed come to the Jianshi Pass, and I will write a special notice and post the specific regulations, of course, the specific details are the same as everyone knows." ”

"Hooray, Baron Kant, you are merciful! The most merciful lord! ”

"Merciful lord, yes, the most merciful lord!"

The merchants and small landowners cheered.

At this time, the realization of their heart's wish almost gave them the cornerstone of their rapid rise, especially when it comes to the salt trade, which is a hugely lucrative trade in which everyone will get rich.

That's right, this speed of getting rich is a profit that they have not dared to think of for several years!

"At the same time, I will lower my taxes."

Kant smiled slightly.

Looking at these merchants, he continued: "Especially the commercial tax and the agricultural tax, I will reduce some of the trivial taxes to make our business more active. ”

"Mercy! The most merciful lord! ”

Hearing about the tax cut, how could the businessmen veto it, and they cheered loudly.

This is something that even a fool lord can't do, and now they look at Kant, as if they are really looking at a fool, and they can't wait to pounce on it and take advantage of all the advantages.

Taxes represent the income of the lords, especially in the territories with a strong commercial atmosphere, and taxes are the bulk of the fiscal revenue.

Baron Dylan was also watching from the sidelines at this time.

looked at Kant on the stage, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Come on, the time is almost up." ”[.]
