Chapter 377: . Generous tax relief

The banquet held at the Jianshi Pass is exceptionally grand.
This is the first time Kant has officially controlled this place, and it has officially appeared, announcing that this place has been controlled by him. This is an announcement to everyone, and a test of the tone of everyone.
Of course, the tone was good, and all invited squires and knights came as scheduled.
There are also those who are not invited.
For example, the management personnel of the large caravans stationed in the Jianshi Pass, in the name of representing the caravan behind them, licked their faces and came to the official residence with various exquisite and expensive crafts, wanting to attend the banquet.
Kant treated them equally, and allowed this group of guys to enter the mansion for a banquet.
Even the civilians and the poor in the pass are given preferential treatment.
Normal food is distributed for free.
Dark brown bread made of stout flour.
And at the bottom of the warehouse, the air-dried meat and sausages that have been damp and long-haired are free ingredients distributed among them.
It is impossible for these knights to eat these things. Even the guards in the mansion or the slightly wealthier civilians will not eat them. Only the lowest-level civilians and the poor will eat them.
But it is precisely that the number of civilians and the poor at the bottom is too much, and even caused competition.
No one opposed Kant.
Almost everyone praised the new lord's kindness.
Yes, in the eyes of these poor and civilians, as well as small country squires and small businessmen, Hard Rock Pass has indeed changed the lord. The former Baron Dylan has been replaced by the current Baron Kant.
Of course, they have no way of distinguishing, just follow the trend.
The sorrow of the little man.
It's just that for them, these poor people and civilians can get a chance to get enough food, which is really commendable.
The main reason is that these things are not Kant's own. They were all searched in the mansion of Jianshi Pass, and they took other people's things to send their own favors. This wave of prestige has been very valuable.
The banquet started in the mansion.
Several bards temporarily hired outside play the common poems of the Principality of the Lion.
The pretty maid walked through the crowd, adding desserts that were decreasing at any time on the long table. At the same time, she also used small wooden barrels to carry the ale, allowing guests to enjoy the temptation of alcohol.
The knights of Svadia had already taken off their chain mail.
Put on new and decent clothes.
With a smile on his face.
Every move brings the elegance of the nobility, and the conversation with the guests is very pleasant, so that the atmosphere in this mansion is more intense, extremely lively and harmonious.
This was arranged by Kant and Fatist.
After all, visitors need someone to guide.
The Swadian knight, who is a knight class in the kingdom itself, and even a little noble, can complete this task very well, at least chatting about the weather indiscriminately, without any problems.
What Kant needs is to make everyone feel the harmony and calm here.
He needs to stabilize the stone pass.
Cannibalize slowly!
Beside, the vassal knights who originally belonged to Baron Dylan were also dispersed into the guests, most of them chatting with each other with a smile, and there were obviously familiar people in it.
There are also a small number of people with cold faces, sitting in the corner alone, drinking ale without care.
Kant arranged for everyone to take notes.
These are the diehards of Baron Dylan.
If there is no accident, then they will be arranged to go to a mountain to quell the chaos of the demonized creatures, but for some pity, these knights encountered more horrible and fierce demonized creatures, which caused the whole army to be wiped out.
The end result is that no one survived.
He doesn't need to betray his fellow at any time.
As for the idea that time will affect everything, Kant will not even consider it.
Even Fatis would not consider it.
What they have to do now is to quickly put the Hard Rock Pass under their control. Whether it is on the surface or in the dark, let everyone know that the current power is Kant from the desert of Nalun!
At the same time, there is a better reputation to promote Kant's reputation in the Principality of Lions.
This is related to future strategic planning.
Kant needs more than that.
There is the whole male lion principality, and even the southern silver plate kingdom!
The hard rock pass is just the main node that Kant elaborately designed in order to put his hand into the Principality of the Lion, so as not to be cut directly by a sudden knife.
After all, the location of this pass is really too amazing.
"It looks good."
Kant held the glass in the middle of the banquet.
Fatis stood beside him, as did Baron Dylan, who was also waiting beside him.
But at this time, the real protagonist was Kant. Everyone looked at him with fear and respect. As for the Baron Dylan next to him, it had long been ignored by most people.
Even if someone looked at Baron Dylan, his gaze was a bit playful.
This is the loser.
Baron Dylan clasped his hands tightly in his eyes, and his teeth creaked.
Once upon a time, these guys who were humble to please themselves, even dared to appear in front of them, and looked at him with contempt, showing a pitiful and taunting smile?
But Baron Dylan could bear it, and his forbearance was even deeper than the brutal character.
Once he was the current power that he acquired only with forbearance.
The so-called brutality.
It's just a mask that was purposely added to cover up!
Now he obeyed like a lamb, but in fact, Baron Dylan, who was already in contact with the Countess Agatha, still sneered in his heart, and he longed to see the faces of these guys when his allies appeared in front of him. .
Although Baron Kant will not be killed by his own hands, these people are not necessarily!
not long time.
Because the troops of Countess Agatha will be there next week.
At that time, the little boy Kant was still in the Rocky Pass, and the guys who came to the banquet were just about to leave and did not leave. After all, this banquet lasted a full week and was a grand banquet.
For Baron Dylan, that was when the banquet began!
Everything is calm.
Kant seemed to be unaware.
The whole Jianshi Pass spent 6 days in the grand celebration.
The banquet of the drunken gold fans will finally come to an end. All the nobles and businessmen who came to the banquet gathered in the hall with satisfaction, talking to each other with great excitement.
They received news that Baron Kant was said to announce important arrangements for the salt trade.
There is a great possibility.
The salt trade originally in the desert will be transferred to Jianshi Pass!
And the number of salt trades will increase exponentially, as long as someone can hold a large silver coin or golden eagle, they can buy piles of fine white salt at Jianshi Pass, there is no upper limit, and it will be sold out!
Anyone who has money can purchase, this is the most enthusiastic way for large caravans.
Almost monopoly.
Although various large caravans will also compromise and balance, those small caravans absolutely do not have the strength to be compromised and can only be excluded from the huge profits of this salt trade.
But the reason they were so happy was Kant's announcement.
The caravans at Hard Rock Pass have priority!
In other words, the merchants of Jianshi Pass can purchase first.
Although these salt will eventually be acquired by the big merchants, and the profits will certainly not be much, but as long as they change hands, they can get absolutely small profits for the small caravan, why not do it!
In this way, it can also be involved with the large caravan. In case of hugging the thighs, that is a better future!
Businessmen always care about themselves.
Now they are very eager for Kant to announce this news.
And the management staff of those large caravans are still standing and listening in situ. For them, they can get more profits by paying a little profit, 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 ignores it automatically.
None of them are fools. If they can hold the thighs of the stronger nobility, they don't need the help of the little baron Kant. They all know that this baron can't actually control the stone pass for too long.
Taking advantage of this period of time, it is true to gain a relationship with some large caravans.
This is the same idea as those vassal knights!
Kant came to the specially constructed stage.
Looking at the group of guests staring at him eagerly in front of him, Kant's mouth was slightly curled, and he said: "Everyone may know, I will announce the salt trade in the future."
"Yes!"
The crowd cheered.
Kant pressed his hands down, indicating calm.
Looking at them, he said without hesitation: "Next, the salt trade will indeed come to the Jianshi Pass. The specific regulations, I will specifically write it as a notice and post it. Of course, the specific details are the same as everyone knows."
"Long live, Baron Kant, you are really kind! The most merciful lord!"
"Benevolent lord, yes, the most merciful lord!"
The merchants and small landlords cheered.
At this time, their wish was fulfilled, which almost gave them a cornerstone for their rapid rise, especially when it came to the salt trade. In front of this huge profit trade, everyone would make a fortune.
That's right, this speed of making money~EbookFREE.me~ is a profit they haven't dared to think about for years!
"At the same time I will also lower taxes."
Kant smiled slightly.
Looking at the merchants, he continued: "Especially the commercial tax and the agricultural tax, I will reduce some of the trivial taxes and make our business more active."
"Benevolent! The most merciful lord!"
Hearing the tax cuts, how could the merchants veto and cheered.
This is something that fool lords can't do. Now they look at Kant. It's really as if they're looking at a fool. They can't wait to pounce on it and take up all the bargains.
Taxation represents the income of lords, especially in areas with a strong business atmosphere, and taxation is the bulk of fiscal revenue.
Baron Dylan was also watching at this time.
Looking at Kant on the table, a grinning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Come on, time is coming."
