Lord of the Oasis Chapter 377: .Generous tax breaks

The banquet at Stone Pass is unusually grand.

This is the first time Kant has officially appeared since he actually took control of this place, announcing that this place has been controlled by him.

Well, of course, all the invited squires and knights came as promised.

Also come if you are not invited.

For example, the managers of the large caravans stationed in the Stone Pass, in the name of representing the caravan behind them, licked their faces and came to the official residence, bringing all kinds of exquisite and expensive handicrafts, wanting to attend the banquet.

Kant treats this equally and allows the group to enter the mansion for a banquet.

Even the commoners and the poor in the pass are given preferential treatment.

The usual food is distributed free of charge.

A rock-hard brown bread baked with rancid flour.

And at the bottom of the warehouse, dried meat and sausages that have been damp and hairy are all free ingredients distributed there.

These things are impossible for the knights to eat, not even the guards in the mansion, or the slightly wealthier civilians, only the lowest-level civilians and poor people will eat them.

But it is precisely because there are so many civilians and poor people at the bottom that there is even a scramble.

No one objected to Kant.

Almost everyone is praising the new lord's kindness.

Yes, in the eyes of these poor people and commoners, as well as small squires and small businessmen, Stone Pass has indeed changed its lord, and the former Baron Dylan has been replaced by the current Baron Kant.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 difference, they just go with the flow.

The Sorrows of the Little People.

Just to them, these poor and common people have the opportunity to get enough to eat, which is really precious.

The main reason is that these things are not Kant's own, they are all found in the warehouse of the official residence at the Stone Pass. Taking other people's things to send their own favors, this wave of prestige increases is very worthwhile.

The banquet begins in the mansion.

Several bards hired outside on a temporary basis play and sing songs common to lion duchies.

Pretty maids walked through the crowd, adding desserts that were dwindling at any time on the long table, and carrying ale in small wooden barrels, allowing guests to enjoy the temptation of alcohol.

The knights of Swadia have taken off their chainmail by this time.

Change into new and decent clothes.

With a smile on her face.

Every move has the elegance of a nobleman, and the conversation with the guests is very pleasant, which makes the atmosphere in this official residence even richer, extremely lively and harmonious.

This was deliberately arranged by Kant and Fattis.

After all, visitors need guidance.

Swadian knights, who are knights in the kingdom themselves, or even minor nobles, can complete this task very well, at least casually chatting about the weather without the slightest problem.

What Kant needs is for everyone to feel the harmony and peace of this place.

He needs to stabilize Stone Pass.

Slowly nibble!

Besides, the vassal knights who originally belonged to Baron Dylan also spread out and integrated into the guests. Most of them chatted with each other with a smile, and there were obviously familiar people among them.

There are also a small number of people with stern faces, sitting alone in the corner, drinking ale to themselves without making a sound.

Kant arranged for someone to take notes.

These are all die-hards of Baron Dylan.

If there is no accident, they will be arranged to go to a mountain somewhere to quell the chaos of the demonized creatures. However, for some unfortunate reasons, these knights encountered more terrifying and ferocious demonized creatures, causing the entire army to be wiped out.

The end result is that no one survives.

He doesn't need a guy who can betray him anytime.

As for the idea that time affects everything, Kant would not even consider it.

Even the Fatis will not consider it.

What they have to do now is to quickly bring the Stone Pass under their control, whether it is on the surface or in the dark, let everyone know that the current ruler is Kant from the Naron Desert!

There is also a better reputation to promote Kant's reputation and spread in the Principality of Lions.

This is about future strategic planning.

Kant needed more than that.

And the entire Principality of Lions, and even the Kingdom of Silver Plate further south!

The mere stone pass is just the main node carefully designed by Kant in order to extend his hand into the Principality of the Lion, so as not to be directly cut off by a sudden knife.

After all, the location of this pass is simply too amazing.

"Looks good."

Kant is in the middle of the banquet with his glass up.

Fatis stood beside him, and Baron Dylan, also waiting.

But at this time, the real protagonist was Kant. Everyone looked at him with fear and respect. As for Baron Dylan next to him, he had already been ignored by most people.

Even if someone looked at Baron Dylan, their eyes were somewhat playful.

This is the loser.

At this look, Baron Dylan clenched his hands tightly and his teeth creaked.

Once upon a time, these humble guys who wanted to please themselves dared to appear in front of him, looked at him with contempt, and showed a pitiful and mocking smile?

But Baron Dylan can bear it, and his forbearance is even deeper than his brutal character.

In the past, he gained the power he has now through forbearance.

So-called brutality.

It's just a mask added to cover up!

Now he is obedient like a lamb, but in fact, Baron Dylan, who has been in contact with Countess Agatha, is still sneering in his heart. When he is eager to see his allies appear in front of him, these Guy's face.

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

Not long.

Because Countess Agatha's troops will arrive next week.

At that time, Kant, this little brat, was still at the Stone Pass, and these guys who came to the banquet were just about to leave but didn't leave. After all, the banquet lasted for a full week, and it was a grand banquet.

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

Everything is calm.

Kant doesn't seem to notice.

The entire Stone Pass was in great festivities for 6 days.

The banquet of drunken and gold fans is finally coming to an end. All the small nobles and small businessmen who came to the banquet gathered in the hall with satisfaction and chatted with each other excitedly.

They get word that Baron Kant is said to be announcing important arrangements for the salt trade.

There is a good chance of that.

The salt trade originally in the desert will be transferred to Stone Pass!

And the amount of salt trade will increase exponentially. As long as someone can hold a big silver coin or a golden eagle, they can buy piles of fine white salt at the Stone Pass. There is no upper limit at all, while stocks last!

Whoever has the money can buy, which is the most popular way for large caravans.

Almost a monopoly.

Although there will be compromises and balances between the large caravans, those small caravans definitely have no such strength that can be compromised, and can only be excluded from the huge profits of the salt trade.

But it was Kant's announcement that made them so happy.

Caravans in Stone Pass have priority!

In other words, merchants in Stone Pass can buy first.

Although these salts will eventually be bought by those big businessmen, the profits will certainly not be much, but as long as they change hands, they can get absolutely no small profits for small caravans, why not do it !

From this, you can also be involved with large caravans. If you hug your thighs, it will be a better future!

Businessmen are always concerned about themselves.

Now they are desperate for Kant's announcement.

And the managers of those large caravans are still standing in place and listening at ease. 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 is automatically ignored.

None of them are fools. If they can hug the thighs of stronger nobles, they don't need the help of the little baron Kant. They all know in their hearts that this baron can't actually control the Stone Pass for too long.

Just taking advantage of this period of time to make a fortune and gain some relationships with large caravans is the real thing.

It's the same idea as those vassal knights!

Kant arrives on a purpose-built stage.

Looking at the group of guests staring at him eagerly, with various emotions flashing in their eyes, Kant's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "Everyone may know about the salt trade that I will announce in the future."

"That's right!"

The crowd cheered.

Kant lowered his hands to signal calm.

Looking at them, he said without hesitation: "Next, the salt trade will indeed come to the Stone Pass. The specific regulations will be specially written and posted in a notice. Of course, the specific details are the same as everyone knows. ."

"Long live, Baron Kant, you are merciful! Most merciful lord!"

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

The merchants and small landowners cheered.

At this time, the wish in their hearts was realized, which almost gave them the cornerstone of their rapid rise, especially when it comes to the salt trade. In front of this hugely profitable trade, everyone will make a fortune.

Yes, this speed of making a fortune ~IndoMTL.com~ is a profit they have never dared to imagine for years!

"I will also lower my taxes."

Kant smiled slightly.

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

"Merciful! The most merciful lord!"

How could businessmen veto the tax cut and cheered.

This is something that a fool lord can't do. Now they look at Kant, they really seem to be looking at a fool, and they can't wait to jump up and take all the advantages.

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

Baron Dylan was also watching at this time.

Looking at Kant on the stage, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Come on, the time is almost up."
