The young man named Bachar redeemed his fiancée's first (night) right with a livre, and ran home with excitement on his face, as if he might be going to the cave to be the bridegroom tonight.

At this time, the crowd around the government bulletin board was already three layers inside and three layers outside, and everyone was shocked and inexplicable when they witnessed what happened to Bachar.

What is the first (night) tax? That is a pretense of some kind of privilege of the lord for thousands of years, as long as the lord is bad enough and lustful enough, the beautiful girl basically cannot escape his poisonous hands, and the ugly daughter-in-law can make the groom peel off a layer of skin.

But now, a livre, a coolie who worked hard for a month, and could save that money if he was frugal.

"I heard that Lord Earl is not...... Have you become smarter? How can you still .......?"

"Shut up, Lord Earl has always been smart......"

The news that Charles' body showed signs of healing was still spreading quickly, but now there was a big question mark in everyone's hearts, the hat of the "mentally handicapped count" had been worn for so many years, and it would take some effort to take it off.

"Lord Baron, are all the rules in this proclamation true? I mean...... Port tax and business tax ......"

Baron Promy and Baron Basel finally waited for the question of hope, although this person spoke with a thick Southern Continent accent and looked like a lowly half-blood, but at this time Promi didn't care about it.

"I can use my personality to guarantee that these changes in the tax rate are true, and they will not change for at least three years. ”

The half-blood merchant wrinkled his brows and thought for a moment, then asked a question again: "Lord Earl, the peak trading season in Bayona Port is autumn, if we ship goods to Bayonne Port again now, in case we can't sell them before winter, will the berthing fees of the ships be reduced?"

As soon as the mixed-race merchant's words fell, a local merchant began to scold: "You greedy southern barbarian, do you have to complain about others if you can't sell your goods? Why can't you sell your goods? Aren't you greedy to sell at a high price? Bastard, don't come to us to make money.......

"But if we sell at a low price, we are likely to lose money and go bankrupt......"

The mixed-race merchant is telling the truth, foreign merchants doing business in the port, often encounter local merchants maliciously lower prices, at this time foreign merchants will fall into a dilemma, either lose money and cheapen the local merchants, or have to be transported to other places, maybe even worse.

If the berthing fee of the ship is reduced by half, the foreign merchants can spend some time in the port, waiting for the inland merchants to buy their goods, although they may not be able to sell for much money, but they can certainly reduce the losses and leave some hope for a turnaround.

"Look here," Baron Prome, pointing to a map-like notice on the bulletin board, "we've carved out a large area to the east of the port area to create a cargo storage area, and you can rent a plot of land to store your goods, and if you have the means, you can buy it in perpetuity." ”

The half-blood merchant immediately took a few steps closer and stared at the map for a moment, his shrewd eyes flickering.

"Lord Baron, can we build a house on the land?"

"Yes, but the height of the house must not exceed two-thirds of the height of the guard tower in the cargo storage area, and if the lease expires and is not renewed, the house will be owned by the lord. ”

"What do you mean, Lord Baron...... That area will have a security post like the Uptown?" The half-blood merchant reacted quickly, and immediately asked.

"Yes, we will not only establish security stations in the cargo storage area, but also issue some relevant regulations to protect the property safety and legitimate rights of all merchants, such as the maximum price of cargo handling and transportation shall not exceed the average price of the ports on the west coast of the mainland......."

"Coax!"

The crowd suddenly boiled, and foreign businessmen went out to do business, afraid of the oppression of local snakes, and now the port of Bayona actually wants to introduce regulations to protect foreign businessmen, which is absolutely unheard of.

The half-blood merchant made his decision immediately.

"My lord, I'm going to buy a piece of land, the permanent one!"

A large purse was pulled out by the half-blood merchant, and his hands were raised above his head and handed to Baron Promi.

Basel came from behind again, took the money bag and weighed it, made sure it was gold coins, then opened a brand new account book, and asked lightly, "What is it called?

"Sarah, Sarah Borrell, from Tripoli, but my father is from Florens, and I am mainly in the spice business....." said the mixed-race man, a little apprehensive.

"Sara Borrell, a native of Tripoli, ...... spice business"

Basel "brushed" the information in the account book, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency the Earl said, no matter where you are from, as long as you are doing business properly, we welcome it, if you are treated unfairly, you can go to the government department to complain, and we will give you a fair answer." ”

When Basel had finished writing, he tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Sarah Borrell, and said again: "In addition, we will hold regular trade fairs to invite the nobles and merchants of Florensia to do business in Bayonne, as long as your goods are good, and there will be no buyers......

Sarah Borrell took the piece of paper with both hands, carefully looked at the seal of the Bayona Council on the paper, and then carefully placed it in her arms, as gentle and considerate as her own lover.

"I'm also going to rent a piece of land, the kind for three years, how much does it cost at least?"

"My lord, can you give us some more time, we need to report this matter to the master before we can make the next decision......

“.......”

Out-of-town merchants were more interested in the land in the storage area than in the local merchants, and some of the men who couldn't make up their minds had already rushed to the hotel to find their owners for ideas.

Promi exhaled secretly, letting go of a little worry in his heart, he had imagined too many possibilities before coming out to post the announcement today, the worst possibility was that no one responded and caused a cold situation, now that so many people have shown interest, the Earl's request has been very hopefully completed.

At this time, there was no need for Promi, the baron, to come forward to answer in person, and several staff members of the government department stood up and explained in detail to a group of businessmen what the "perpetual right of use" was, the payment method of the temporary lease fee, and so on.

When everyone knew that only a small part of the land in the cargo storage area was "permanent use rights", and most of them were leased to the outside world, businessmen who were born with a risk-taking and speculative spirit immediately came to the fore, and many people rushed to pay a deposit and occupy a piece of land first.

"Give me all peace!"

Promi let out a loud shout, startling the crowd of chaotic merchants.

"That's all for today, tomorrow you go to the government affairs hall to choose the land, we can go through the sale, lease procedures at any time, but ...... Be prepared with enough money. ”

The boss spoke, and the staff of the government office began to chase people, but until they got into the carriage and drove up the city, a large number of merchants stayed there and pointed around the bulletin board.

Promi and Basel shared a carriage, and when it was quiet, the administrative officer smiled and said to the financial butler: "Basel, how much land is there for that kind of permanent usufruct?"

"What do you want to do? Do you want to buy a piece? Yesterday I told you what the earl meant, and asked you to take the lead in buying a piece, but you still won't buy it?"

"Buy, you must buy, how can I disobey the Earl.......'s will?

"I've already bought that piece!"

"The two ...... near the main road," Promi began to pray in his heart, praying that Basel was not so rich in money that it would not be possible to eat so much land.

"That piece of land Montero was bought!"

“.........”
