"Why do you have two colors in your eyes? Could it be that I remembered that both of your pupils were blue!" After sitting down next to Pique, Hasja felt that the gloom around her had disappeared, and began to take the initiative to talk to Pique.

"It's a secret, you put your ears together, and I'll tell you!" said Peake, matter-of-factly.

Unable to suspect him, Hasja leaned over and brought his ear closer to Peake, blinking his big eyes twice.

"The secret is ......"

At the same time, the noble lady who was sitting not far away saw all this, she looked at the sincere smile on her daughter's face, and watched her daughter cover her mouth and snicker from time to time, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.

"Honorable noble lady, I would like to pay my respects to you with this glass of wine. "Pidge Piggy...... Oh no, it's the jeweler Jaang holding his glass high and drinking it down.

As a last resort, the noble lady withdrew her gaze, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the bright red fruit wine.

Jaang's eyes widened, staring at the pair of red lips that touched the wine glass lightly, staring at the smile on the corner of his mouth, he slowly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, at this time, he had a strong thought, to kiss her!

"Lord Jaang, the Baron is talking to you!" was the voice of the little duke.

"Huh?" Jaon withdrew his misty gaze and looked at Baron Hydgvi. "I'm sorry, my lord, I'm a little drunk, so I beg you to say it again. ”

"It doesn't matter," saw the Baron chuckle and take a sip from his glass, and a maid behind him immediately filled the empty glass. "I have discussed with the young man Tran Saz about the right to manage my territory, I wonder if you are interested, Lord Jaon? By the way, Mr. Dosol, you can also make an opinion, everyone at this long table is qualified to contract the management of my territory. Dosol was suddenly named, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face.

"Lord Baron, don't call me Lord Jaang! I can't afford to be called that, you can just call me Jaang, or Little Jia...... As for the question of the right to manage your territory, I do have some thoughts......" Unconsciously, Jaon felt the cold gaze of the little duke across the table, and his eyes immediately flashed with a hint of clarity. "Your Excellency, you can arrange it, and I will definitely do my best to assist your lord in managing the merchants in the territory. ”

Baron Hajvi frowned faintly, at this time I am going to choose a partner between you and Tran Satz, do you use this attitude to represent that you have given up the competition?

Baron Haijvi was a little puzzled as to why this fat man had such an attitude, could he not look down on the right to manage the property of his family domain? Obtaining the right to manage the property of a noble domain means that he has obtained countless wealth!

The right to operate the industry includes a myriad of industries: catering, knitting, transportation, retail, ...... Obtaining the right to operate industries means that you can dominate all things in these industries. For example, a businessman who has obtained the right to operate an industry has every right to expel other businessmen who do not have the right to operate!

If the businessman who has contracted the right to operate the aristocratic property is willing, he can directly dominate all the prices in the market! This is equivalent to saying that it is the entire territory, and you are the boss, and whoever asks him to sell it can come out and sell it!

There are countless industries and countless stores in a city, and at the beginning of each year, almost every shopkeeper will hand over a large amount of money to the owner of the right to operate the territory. This was another source of wealth for the nobility in addition to collecting taxes!

No nobleman would easily hand over the property management rights of his domain unless he was forced to do so.

In fact, Baron Hydgvi, who had just returned from the Endless Wall, was already annoyed by the things in his territory! he was in his own territory, and he could spare an hour a day to deal with things in his territory.

However, in order to respond to the kingdom's order, he had to go north to join the army, and the family had no other male to control the family, so he now just wanted to find an agent as soon as possible and release all the management rights of the various industries in the territory.

Originally, he wanted to hand over the management of the territory directly to Mayor Grace, but he never saw that guy again, except for the unlucky guy he met when he returned. Ordered the servant to fetch the mayor, but the servant would only say, "The mayor has contracted the cold, and he is afraid of infecting you, so if you have anything, just tell me." ”

If you can't find Mayor Grace, find your housekeeper.

But when he really found the old butler, he could only silently watch the old butler look at him for a while: "Wow, wow!"

Baron Hajvi Yakel is desperate for this castle!

Under the urgency of time, he could only pick out a few more powerful businessmen in the nearby town and pick out a few more powerful businessmen in the peaceful town.

These merchants were naturally the little duke Tran Satz, the carpenter shop owner Dosol, and the jeweller Jaang.

One of these three people has a deep background, one has a good reputation, and the other has absolute financial resources.

In Baron Hygwick's heart, he prefers to hand over the family's property management rights to the jewelry merchant Jaang, after all, this pot-bellied guy is essentially a businessman, and Baron Hydgwick knows that this guy's reputation is not as glamorous as it seems, but which businessman is a pure good person? Baron Hygvi, who has long seen the business world, will certainly not be entangled in the character of his partner.

It's not that he hasn't thought about finding other partners, he's also thought about it, but after thinking about it, in this barren and peaceful town, he can't find anyone who can afford to contract the right to operate the industry.

He just wants to sell the property management rights in his territory at a good price, a reasonable price. After all, the war in the north has begun, and the kingdom has to collect large sums of money from various provinces every month. Under the pressure, Baron Hejvi already felt overwhelmed!

Therefore, he must also sell the property management rights of the territory at a good price! But at this time, this fat man with a vain head obviously did not want to take over the conversation, and this little duke Tran Saz kept the price so low......

Do you really want me to take the initiative to negotiate with you?

He knew that if one party took the initiative to raise the price, he would be directly in a weak position! What if people didn't accept it, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Do you still have to push down the price?

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed faintly: "Mr. Jaang, my territory includes Mokan City, Kivelus City and Peace Town, and Peace Town, not to mention Peace Town, the other two cities are medium-sized cities with a population of more than 100,000 people, don't you look down on the management rights of these two medium-sized cities?

Tens of thousands of silver coins are absolutely tempting for a merchant, but my lord, you have forgotten the fact that I am a yodelman, how dare I compete with an Odin with a background like the little duke............? Recently, horse thieves have been rampant, and the jewelry industry is not doing well, so I really can't get too many gold coins right now. He felt that his lie was well-founded, and that he had been confronted by horse thieves in the town of Peace last month......

"What if I sell all the properties separately?" Baron Hydgwick was depressed, he almost forced his own management rights into their hands, but he suddenly came up with a solution, "Mr. Dosol and Mr. Jaon both said that they could not afford the huge contract costs, so in order to make the trip worthwhile, I plan to sell all the properties separately!

There was a sudden silence on the long table, and even Haysjia, who had been laughing with Pique, clearly felt the strange atmosphere at the table and pursed her lips unconsciously. Not only the long table, but the guests in the entire castle hall seemed to realize something, and at the same time tacitly stopped the noise, and even the drunken and slightly drunk guests quietly pricked up their ears.

At this time, both Dosol and Jaon couldn't help but glance at the little duke, Tran Satz......

Feeling the subtle atmosphere at the dinner table, Baron Hejvi gradually narrowed his eyes as if he suddenly understood something.

"That's a good idea!Lord Baron!!I think so!" Finally, fearing that the bamboo basket would last draw water, the little duke began to take over the topic, "In this way, Mr. Dosol will be able to contract the carpentry trade of the two cities, and Master Jaang will be able to contract the jewelry trade of the two cities!"

Dosol and Jaang, who were named, took a cool breath at the same time.

They couldn't hear the hidden meaning of the little duke's words, those two sentences clearly said that my little duke can separate the carpenter industry from the jewelry industry and give it to you, but if you dare to compete for other industries, hehehe......

However, it was obvious that the bowl of soup had also made the faces of the two of them look a little better, and Dosol's expressionless face gradually showed a smile, while Jaon exaggerated: "This is absolutely fine! I approve of it! I will definitely control the jewelry industry in Lord Hygivi's territory!" he replied loudly.

Next, it's time to talk about the contract price.

Originally, Haijiwei called these three people over at the same time, hoping to make them have a sense of competition, so that he could take the opportunity to raise the price a little higher, but looking at this trend, these three people seem to have a tacit understanding!

But he didn't have time to deal with these chores, and next week he had to handle Hasja's wedding, and Baron Hydgvi just wanted to hand over the mess in the territory as soon as possible, and it would be as much as he could.

"So where do we start?" said Baron Hydgwick, putting down the knife in his hand and rubbing his brow.

"Jewelry industry, jewelry industry!" Jaon glanced at the little duke secretly, he was actually worried that the little duke would not be willing to share the cake. Fortunately, the little duke didn't seem to say much about it.

"So at what price is Boss Jaon willing to pay to contract the right to operate these two cities?" said Baron Hydgvi, looking at the fat face.

Speaking of this, there was no need to make a draft in his mind at all, Jaon showed a merchant smile, and immediately said: "It depends on how many jewelers there are in your territory, Lord Baron, and how many jewelry shops there are, by the way, are there any spare shops for rent in these two cities......"

"I'll tell you very clearly, I don't know any of that. Baron Hygivi interrupted him directly, sighed and said, "I can only give you two figures, the annual tax revenue of the jewelry industry in Mokan City is 20,000 silver coins, and the annual tax revenue of Kivelus City is 30,000 silver coins, after the contract, the taxes of these two cities belong to you, as long as you don't cause a riot among the jewelers, you can charge a little more, as for how many jewelry stores you want to open in the city, that's your business, as long as you pay the appropriate rent...... Therefore, the price of your contract cannot be less than 50,000 silver coins. ”

"Fifty thousand silver coins?" Jaang's eyes rolled, and he secretly calculated in his heart, "Fifty thousand silver coins is fine!

"Reasonable fart!" Your Excellency said that you would give the lowest price at least 50,000 silver coins?" the little duke interjected. "Lord Jaang, what you have done to Baron Haijvi is very unkind. Putting aside the tax of 50,000 silver coins, the annual benefit fees paid by dozens of jewelers in these two cities alone are tens of thousands of silver coins! Do you think that Lord Hydwick will not settle this account? Lord Baron just didn't say it explicitly, if you are so ignorant, don't blame me for arguing with you. ”

"This ...... What 60,000 silver coins?" Jaon said tentatively.

"Lord Haijivi, this guy is a profiteer, you can give me the contracting rights of these two cities, and I will give you 80,000 silver coins!" said the little duke to Baron Haijivi quite boldly. Haijivi smiled and did not speak, but looked at Jaang. Raise the price, the higher the price, the better.

At this time, the jeweler Jaang's face was blue and white. He thought to himself, 80,000 silver coins, "Little Duke......, are you so faceless?" You're still too young. "Ninety thousand silver coins!" Jaon finally raised his head as if he had made up his mind, "Lord Baron, this is our first time working together, and I think the price of 90,000 silver coins is already very reasonable. ”

As a businessman, Jaang certainly can't let himself lose money. After thinking about it, he estimated in his heart that the management rights of these two cities would not only bring him more than 100,000 silver coins per year, but also allow him to rank among the nobles. 90,000 silver coins can be said to be very valuable for flowers!

At this moment, however, Baron Hydgwick turned his face to the Junior Duke, Tran Saaz.

This ...... "What do you still see me doing?" Do you want me to raise the price for you again, I already understood your hint just now! If I help you raise the price again, the fat man on the other side should be anxious with me. "Lord Baron, I think the price of 90,000 silver coins is quite fair. It is very nerve-wracking to deal with the management right, and some benefits can be appropriately given to this master Jaang. ”

Jaang, who was sitting opposite, immediately showed a touched look...... Little Duke, you're talking a little bit!

After a moment of silence...... Finally, the Baron let out a sigh. "Ninety thousand silver coins...... Well, well......"

The cooperation seems to be reached in the next moment, but!

"One hundred thousand silver coins!" a discordant voice suddenly came from the end of the long table!
