Chapter 221: . Deposits that bottom out again

In this slightly rigid atmosphere, desserts and breakfast are served.
　　
　　 Pretty maids are like landscapes.
　　
　　 Hold the wooden tray briskly, put the silver tableware on the long table, and each is equipped with a scarf for wiping the mouth, and a cup of fresh water with flowers added to the mouth.
　　
The luxury of the Kingdom of Swadia is fully reflected. Although it has not yet reached the level that King Harlaus can enjoy, as a castle-level "Drechem", there are also many rules. These come from wealthy families and have been well received. The girls who are educated by ladies, even if they become maids, are the top ones, and will naturally maintain the luxury style they once were.
　　
　　 This is the value of Kant, because he is the supreme lord and the king of all commanders in the territory. Naturally, there should be such cumbersome and luxurious rules.
　　
　　 The meal is very rich, because the lord and the gentlemen dine, the remaining spices are also sprinkled a little.
　　
　　 Appetizer is boiled antelope meat.
　　
　　 Supplementary dishes are fresh and tender wild vegetables fried in egg liquid.
　　
The main course is a fried pike perch.
　　
　　 Finally, the salted porridge was cooked with minced meat and wheat grains.
　　
　　 plus a small glass of ale to help, and a few dried dates after air-drying.
　　
　　 "I wish you all good health."
　　
Kant lifted the small glass of ale and looked at the stiff atmosphere, no longer on the pleasant long sides of the long table, and smiled and said: "Come here, I hope everyone can fight for a common goal when we reach the peak At that time, I didn’t mind segregating the land and the castle to create a new future for my loyal subordinates."
　　
　　 "Thank you for your kindness." Fatiz and the four of them toasted together.
　　
　　 But now their eyes are shining.
　　
　　 Kant's words were undoubtedly stimulants, which shocked them instantly.
　　
　　 Segregating the land and the castle is equivalent to becoming a noble. Although they, for example, Fatiz is already a noble, compared with the real master of a certain area, the nobles of the land and the castle still seem humble.
　　
　　 That is the real nobleman.
　　
　　 No excuse for them!
　　
While eating, the delicate and close-fitting maid came, decently lying in Kant's ear, a slight fragrance came, and the voice whispered in his ear: "Master Kant, Mr. Borg and his old housekeeper are already here The room wakes up, would you like to invite them to come down to share breakfast?"
　　
　　 "No, serve them breakfast."
　　
　　Kant rejected it directly.
　　
　　 After a moment of contemplation, he raised his head and said to his maid: "Serve them with three meals a day, and let the servants invite them to rest in the room. If there is no accident, it is best not to leave the corridor."
　　
　　 "Yes, I get it." The maid chuckled and left.
　　
　　 That faint fragrance went away.
　　
　　 Kant felt a little throbbing in his heart. The 16-year-old body did indeed reach the point of development.
　　
(But you can’t write at the point of development! Do you know why I didn’t write this? Because the starting point via the Internet began again, the authors I know, I don’t know how many are required to be rectified, and all the books are deleted directly! Why I don’t have this book? Hey, hey, it’s not a lot of trouble if all the girls get rid of it! I want to be a mistress, after marriage, I have no hope for love, Mad, or earning money to support my family is true...)
　　
　　 took a sip from the glass and Kant regained his composure.
　　
　　 Opposite the long table, Fatis guessed the reason for the maid's arrival and said, "Is that the guy named Borg?"
　　
　　 "Yes." Kant nodded.
　　
　　 "Please be cautious." Fatiz suggested: "Master Kant, he still can't get our trust, it is better to limit his scope of activities, not let him understand the details of our castle."
　　
　　 "If you run around, send someone to kill him." Rolf said fiercely: "The spy is the mouse!"
　　
　　 This sentence made Bandak glance at him dissatisfiedly.
　　
　　 But Rolf made sense.
　　
　　 "I have restricted the range of his activities and placed him under house arrest."
　　
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 Rolf and solemnly said: "In my appointed position, be careful. At present, we can't afford to be extravagant to fail. If there is a mistake, it will be as tragic as falling into the abyss."
　　
　　 "Yes, I will do my best."
　　
　　Bandak and Rolf immediately got up, put down the knife and fork in their hands and bowed solemnly to salute.
　　
　　 Kant reached out to sit down and said, "We must be 100% responsible."
　　
　　 "Yes!" The two sat down after answering solemnly.
　　
　　 "And Manid."
　　
　　 Kant turned his head to look at Manid, and said solemnly: "Arrange this Borg and give him 5000 large silver coins. I think the money is enough to save a little of the current decline of their family."
　　
　　 5000 large silver coins are equal to the basic tax of Lion Heart City in the past year.
　　
　　 is definitely a huge sum in the lion's country!
　　
　　 There is absolutely no problem in saving a family that has fallen into decline. Although it is impossible to get back to life, it extends the time of bankruptcy, struggles to sell some goods, reduces the scale of business, and barely survives so that it will not become a poor poor. There is no problem.
　　
　　According to Borg, their family's business relied entirely on the fleet of the Nissi River, and helped to resell the goods. The annual net profit was only 2,000 large silver coins.
　　
　　Although he has lost the fleet, but with Kant’s investment, 5000 large silver coins are enough to stabilize the current situation.
　　
　　 "Understood."
　　
　　 Manid nodded after contemplation.
　　
　　 Kant has considered enough, and in terms of investment alone, this huge sum is enough.
　　
　　 But he still put forward his own suggestion: "Master Kant, we should probably send someone to follow this Borg, if he gets our investment to abscond, it will be us who will suffer."
　　
　　 "No need."
　　
　　 Kant narrowed his eyes slightly: "He has mastered a new trade comparable to the salt trade, and he will not do it."
　　
Manede had just returned from Hard Rock Pass, and did not understand that Kant had planned to hand over the trade of sugar cubes to Borg. He could not help but wonder: "If we lose the power of supervision, it is equivalent to raising an enemy. , But he is also too fragile, and he who is in control of his interests is not willing to be our puppet."
　　
　　 "He must 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 in a deep voice: "What's more, the core of the sugar workshop, those dates, only the sentry oasis exists in this world."
　　
　　 "It turns out that way." Manid squinted slightly, instantly understanding with his business acumen.
　　
　　 This is the advantage of monopoly.
　　
　　, like table salt, was once monopolized by the dwarves, with extremely high profits.
　　
　　 Now Kant not only has salt mines in the desert, but also date palm trees that are not in this world, it is equivalent to monopolizing the raw materials for making this extremely sweet sugar block, and the profit is not so low.
　　
As long as Borg is exposed to this trade, he can never leave.
　　
　　 There is no date palm in this world!
　　
　　At least in Kant's impression, when I look back carefully, there have never been such trees and plants!
　　
　　 This is also Kant's defense against Borg.
　　
　　 Sugar cubes need to be made by mixing honey, date powder and oil-fried flour.
　　
　　 The whole is similar to the food of cutting cake.
　　
These date palm sugar cubes are shelf-stable and sweet enough to be used not only as a condiment, but also as a dessert that can be eaten directly. Compared to the nobles in the Principality of the Lions, they still eat bread with honey or make fruits into candied fruit. The simple dessert, date palm sugar block can attract the tongue and stomach of those nobles!
　　
　　 Borg’s sworn allegiance cannot be unlimited.
　　
　　 After all, he was not his own man from the Continent, such as Fatiz, and even his trust in Kant's mind was not even comparable to the civilians.
　　
　　 Just like now, he is not qualified to have breakfast with Kant.
　　
Maybe after some performance, Kant can choose to believe in him, but it is never possible to truly accept Borg as a core person, because the heart will change, and without systematic constant loyalty, Kant cannot believe anyone, let alone Put core secrets into contact with these indigenous people.
　　
　　 The vigilance of the traverser is always from the heart and soul.
　　
　　 is like a thief, who enters a stranger's family for the sake of avoiding being discovered.
　　
　　 Eat almost.
　　
　　 Breakfast has basically been wiped out, leaving only a little residue.
　　
　　 is at this moment.
　　
　　 On Kant's retina, the dialog box popped up instantly.
　　
　　【Ding… With the rising sun, a new week begins. 】
　　
　　【Income: You receive a tax of 2600 dinars in Dekhrem (village). 】
　　
　　 [Expenditure: You pay 16287 dinars to all troops]
　　
　　 This is a prompt from the system.
　　
　　 The crisp sound of metal coins colliding with each other is like a wind chime knocking and colliding with each other.
　　
　　 And finally Kant’s deposit balance was less than 3000 dinars.
　　
After the castle-level construction, the deposit finally fell into trouble again after this military expenditure. This is not to mention the military expenditure next week, even if it is to purchase some items from the Zhivading caravan, it will be dwarfed. If there is no follow-up dinar supplement, Kant is now estimated to be bankrupt.
　　
　　 "Just wait for Joslin to arrive."
　　
　　 Kant sighed.
　　
　　He was ready to dive to the bottom.
　　
　　 Thankfully, he can also sell some of the stock in the warehouse.
　　
　　 Such as sugar cubes of various honey and date products, it is said that this kind of material is very expensive even if it is internally sold in Caladia, it is completely called a commodity comparable to salt.
　　
　　 plus other sundries.
　　
　　 For example, elemental gems, various harvested crops and war-damaged surplus materials can all be sold for a good price.
　　
　　 is not good, Kant also plans to sell the solar disk to Jocelyn.
　　
　　After all, it is made of gold and is within the scope of systematic acquisition.
　　
The door of the ruling hall was opened.
　　
　　 and a Swadian knight quickly walked in and came to report: "Master Kant, Mr. Joslin from Zhivadin, is taking his caravan to the castle and entering the grocery store."
　　
　　 "Come." Kant smiled and waved: "Go and invite Mr. Joslin to come in."
　　
　　 "Yes." The knight turned to act.
　　
　　 Kant commanded Bandak and Rolf at the same time: "Go and prepare ~EbookFREE.me~ at noon to participate in separate banquets and appoint each to your own defense zone, do not live up to my trust and expectation of you."
　　
　　 "We will do our best!" Bandak and Rolf nodded.
　　
　　 "Sir, I will continue to inspect the city walls."
　　
　　Fatiz sees that there is nothing to do next, so he leaves and prepares to leave.
　　
　　 "Hmm." Kant nodded: "Go." Shunkou also told Fatiz: "Take down Bundak and Rolf, tell them some precautions, more details, don't hide."
　　
　　 Obviously Kant understands the grievances between them, so he reminds.
　　
　　 "Please rest assured." Fatiz nodded.
　　
They took Bandak and Rolf to turn and left. They were all combatants. They were not good at the internal affairs and economy. Instead, they felt that the conversation between Manid and the caravan leaders was a bit boring. Introduce the current format so that these two new companions understand what to do and what not to do. )!!
