Lord of the Oasis

In this slightly stiff atmosphere, dessert and breakfast were served.

The pretty maids are like a landscape.

Holding the wooden plate briskly, he placed the silver tableware on the long table, and each put a silk scarf for wiping his mouth, and a cup of water with flowers added for gargling.

The luxury of the Kingdom of Swadia is vividly reflected. Although it has not yet reached the level that King Haraus can enjoy, as a castle-level "Drehem", there are also many rules. These come from wealthy families and have received good Even if the girls educated by ladies become maids, they are the top ones, and they will naturally maintain the luxury style they used to be.

This is the importance of Kant, because he is the supreme lord and the king who commands everything in the domain. Naturally, there should be such cumbersome and extravagant rules.

The meal was very rich. Since it was the lord and the gentlemen, the remaining spices were sprinkled a little.

The starter is boiled antelope meat.

The side dishes are fresh and tender wild vegetables wrapped in egg wash and deep fried.

The main course was a fried zander.

At the end, the salty porridge with minced meat and wheat grains cooked to a pulp.

Plus a small cup of ale to add to the fun, and a few dates that have been air-dried.

"I wish you all good health."

Kant raised the small glass of ale, looked at both sides of the long table where the atmosphere was stiff and was no longer pleasant, and said with a smile: "Coming here, I hope everyone can strive for the same goal, when we reach the peak At that time, I don't mind dividing the land and the castle to create a new future for my loyal subordinates."

"Thank you for your kindness." The four of Fatis raised their glasses together.

But now their eyes are bright.

Kant's words were undoubtedly stimulants, which shocked them instantly.

Dividing land and castles is equivalent to becoming a noble. Although among them, such as Fatis, are already nobles, compared to the real control of a certain area, the nobles of the land and castle are still humble.

That's the real nobility.

They can't help but be excited about it!

is eating,

The delicate maid came and lay down beside Kant's ear decently, the faint fragrance of virginity came, and the voice whispered in her ear: "Lord Kant, Mr. Borg and his old housekeeper have woken up in the room, Would you like to invite them down for breakfast?"

"No, serve them breakfast."

Kant directly rejected it.

Wei Wei pondered for a moment, then raised his head and instructed his maid, "Serve them three meals a day, and ask the servant to ask them to rest in the room. If there is no accident, it is best not to leave the corridor."

"Yes, I see." The maid chuckled and left.

The faint fragrance is gone.

Kant's heart throbbed slightly, and his 16-year-old body had indeed reached the point of development.

(But I can’t write it when I’m developing! Do you know why I didn’t write this? Because the starting point Jingwang operation has started again, and I don’t know how many authors have been asked to rectify, and some of them have directly deleted the book! Why? I don’t have this book yet? Hey, hey, it’s easier to get rid of all the girls! If you want a heroine, after getting married, I have no hope for love, Madd, it’s true that I still earn money to support my family…)

Picking up the glass and taking a sip, Kant regained his composure.

Opposite the long table, Fatis guessed the reason for the arrival of the maid and said, "Is that the guy named Borg?"

"That's right." Kant nodded.

"Please be careful." Fatis suggested: "Lord Kant, he has not been able to gain our trust, it is best to limit his scope of activities and not let him know the details of our castle."

"If he runs around, send someone to kill him." Rolfe said viciously: "A spy is a mouse!"

But this sentence made Bandak glance at him dissatisfiedly.

But Rolfe is right.

"I have restricted his movement and placed him under house arrest in the room."

Kant nodded and said: "I will meet him in the afternoon, and then let him leave with you." After a pause, Kant looked at Bandak and Rolfe, and said solemnly: "Be careful in the positions I have appointed. At present, we can't have the luxury of failure, and if there is a mistake, it will be a tragic fall into the abyss."

"Yes, I will do my best."

Bandak and Rolfe stood up immediately, put down their knives and forks, and bowed solemnly.

Kant stretched out his hand and motioned to sit down: "Be 100% responsible."

"Yes!" The two of them answered solemnly and sat down.

"And Manid."

Kant turned his head to look at Manid, and said solemnly: "Arrange this Borg well and give him 5,000 large silver coins. I think this money is enough to save a little of their family's current decline."

5,000 large silver coins are equal to the basic tax of Lionheart City for nearly one year.

It is definitely a huge sum of money in the Lion Principality!

There is absolutely no problem in saving a family that has fallen into decline. Although it cannot be brought back to life, there is no problem in extending the bankruptcy time, struggling to sell some goods, reducing the scale of business, and barely surviving so as not to become a poor poor.

According to Borg, their family's business completely relies on the fleet of the Ruisniston River to help run the reselling of goods, and the annual net profit is only 2,000 large silver coins.

Although he has lost the fleet now, but with Kant's investment, 5,000 large silver coins are enough to stabilize the current situation.

"clear."

Manid nodded after a little thought.

Kant has considered enough. In terms of investment alone, this huge sum is enough.

But he still put forward his own suggestion: "Lord Kant, we should probably send someone to follow this Borg. If he gets our investment and absconds, we will suffer."

"unnecessary."

Kant squinted slightly: "Having mastered a new trade comparable to the salt trade, he won't do it."

Manid had just returned from the Stone Pass, and he didn't know that Kant had planned to hand over the trade of sugar cubes to Borg. He couldn't help but wonder: "If we lose the power of supervision, we will raise an enemy. After all, although the cooperation of interests is strong , but it is also too fragile, and he is not willing to become our puppet when he has the interests."

"He has to be our puppet."

Kant opened his mouth and smiled: "It is not easy to make sugar cubes with honey on a large scale." After a pause, Kant said solemnly: "Not to mention the core of the sugar workshop, those dates, there are only sentry oasis in this world."

"So that's the case." Manid's eyes widened slightly, and he instantly understood with his business acumen.

This is the advantage of monopoly.

Just like salt, it was once monopolized by the dwarves, and the profits were extremely high.

Now Kant has not only the salt mines in the desert, but also the date palm trees that the world does not have.

As long as Borg is in contact with this trade, he will never be able to leave.

There is no date palm in this world!

At least in Kant's impression, in retrospect, there have never been such trees and plants!

This is also Kant's defense against Borg.

Sugar cubes are made by mixing honey, date palm powder, and flour fried in oil.

The whole is similar to the cut cake.

These date palm sugar cubes are storage-stable and extremely sweet. They can be used not only as condiments, but also as desserts that can be eaten directly. Compared with the nobles in the Principality of Lions, they still eat bread with honey, or make candied fruit with fruits. A simple dessert, date palm sugar cubes are more appealing to the tongues and stomachs of those aristocrats!

Borg's oath of allegiance cannot be without limits.

After all, he is not his own people from Calradia like Fatis, and even his level of trust in Kant's mind is not comparable to that of commoners.

Just like now, he is not qualified to have breakfast with Kant.

Maybe Kant can choose to believe him after he has shown something, but it will never be possible to truly accept Borg as a core member, because people's hearts will change, and without constant loyalty to the system, Kant can't believe anyone at all, let alone. Make core secrets accessible to these natives.

The vigilance of transmigrators always comes from the heart and soul.

Just like a thief, entering a stranger's home by excuses is always a mentality to avoid being discovered.

Eat about the same.

The breakfast has basically been wiped out, leaving only a few residues.

Right now.

On Kant's retina, a dialog box popped up instantly.

[Ding... With the rising sun, a new week begins. 】

[Income: You collect a tax of 2600 dinars in Dehrim (village). 】

[Expenditures: You pay 16,287 dinars to all the troops]

This is a prompt from the system.

The crisp sound of metal coins colliding with each other is like wind chimes knocking and colliding with each other.

In the end, Kant's deposit balance was less than 3,000 dinars.

After various constructions of the castle level, the deposit finally fell into difficulty again after this military expenditure. This dinar is not to mention the military expenditure next week, even the purchase of some items from the Zhivadin caravan will be dwarfed. Without the follow-up dinar replenishment, Kant is now estimated to be bankrupt.

"Just wait until Jocelyn arrives."

Kant sighed.

He was ready for the dinar to bottom out.

Thankfully, he was able to sell off some of the inventory in the warehouse.

For example, sugar cubes of various honey and date palm products are said to be expensive even in Calradia, and they can be called goods on a par with salt.

plus other clutter.

For example, elemental gems, various harvested crops, and supplies left over from battle damage can all sell for good prices.

It really doesn't work, Kant also intends to sell the sun disc to Jocelyn.

After all, it was minted from gold, and it was within the acquisition range of the system.

The door of the Consulate was opened.

And a Swadian knight walked in quickly and reported: "Master Kant, Mr. Jocelyn from Zhivadin, is bringing his caravan to the castle and entering the grocery store."

"Come on." Kant smiled and waved: "Go and invite Mr. Jocelyn to come in."

"Yes." The knight turned to act.

Kant also instructed Bandak and Rolfe: "Go ahead and prepare. When you attend the banquet at noon, go to your own defense area to make appointments. Don't disappoint my trust and expectations for you."

"We'll do our best!" Bandak and Rolfe nodded.

"My lord, I will continue to inspect the city wall."

Fatis saw that he had nothing to do next, so he said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Yeah." Kant nodded: "Go." He also instructed Fatis: "Remind Bandak and Rolfe, tell them some precautions, be more detailed, and don't hide."

Obviously Kant understands the grievances between them, so I remind you.

"Don't worry." Fatis nodded.

Turned around and left with Bandak and Rolfe. They were both combatants. They were not good at internal affairs and economics. Instead, they felt that the conversation between Manid and the caravan leaders was a bit boring. It is better to take this opportunity to detail. Introduce the current form and let the two newcomers know what to do and what not to do. ) !!
