Upper town of Breitnia, in the villa of the Leopold family.

In the living room, Kasha sat upright in a chair, and on the sofa opposite her sat a slightly bowed middle-aged man in a dark embellished gown.

"Lord Kasha, we think your proposal is quite reasonable, and there will be no trouble. We will pay the money immediately, and we will make up the goods you have listed as soon as possible. The middle-aged man said with a smile as he turned the slender lacquered wooden cane in his hand.

"That's great." Kasha bowed slightly, and said reservedly: "I believe that there will be more cooperation with your Chamber of Commerce in the future - now, if you don't mind, I still have a lot of things to deal with here." ”

"Of course not, of course not, I understand." The middle-aged man bounced up from the sofa and replied hurriedly, "Your Excellency Earl, you are busy, you are busy, I am about to leave." ”

"Well, let me get you out."

"You're welcome, you're welcome ......"

The heavy iron door closed behind him, and the middle-aged man let out a long breath, raised his hand and wiped it on Xie Ding's head to wipe away the sweat that had only come out until now. Don't look at how he is also one of the heads of a big chamber of commerce, many people have to look at him on weekdays, but he knows very well in his heart that if he is compared to a real nobleman, he is actually nothing. If he accidentally offended a cautious nobleman, he would be slaughtered on the spot, and it would be just a trivial matter that could be understood by paying a fine at the town hall of the county town afterwards. The top management of the Chamber of Commerce would never stand up for justice or anything for the sake of a small person like him. That's why today he has changed his usual arrogance towards customers and is careful everywhere.

Looking back at the elegant mansion behind him enviously, the man in charge of a certain chamber of commerce swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to live in such a place in his life. But not to mention that the money that has been saved for a lifetime may not be enough to buy a small piece of land in the upper city, even if there are enough gold coins? This upper city is the residence of the aristocracy, how can ordinary people buy it if they want to?

If you don't have the nobility recognized by the kingdom, if you want to live in Shangcheng safely, you have to get through a lot of details. In the chamber of commerce where the middle-aged man belongs, I am afraid that only the president has this ability, and even his immediate boss, the vice president whose nostrils are almost raised to the sky, does not have the ability, so he can only live honestly in the middle of the city outside.

More than 10,000 bottles of brandy and whisky were put on Breitnia and caused a storm in the liquor market.

With the operation of various chambers of commerce, and after several successful tasting salons, the reputation of the two new spirits, brandy and whisky, gradually became louder. At first it was limited to the aristocracy, but it was very soon. Even the middle class and even the citizens of the city have heard of this new thing.

Twenty-five gold coins per bottle (the Chamber of Commerce's selling price) is quite expensive for most people, but there will always be people who are not short of money and have a strong sense of curiosity who are willing to try it. After this taste, many customers were immediately fascinated.

At a tasting salon, a well-known bard in the kingdom's literary and artistic circles said that although he personally felt that the taste of the two wines was stronger, this flaw did not affect the quality of the wine. In contrast, the commander of the legion directly under the kingdom stationed in the county town said that if the fruity aroma of the wine could not be so strong and pungent, it would be perfect. And the most satisfied with the brandy. He was the governor of Brettnia. After tasting the two wines, the governor placed an order with the Chamber of Commerce for thirty cases of each wine.

In this situation, a large number of business-minded restaurant and bar owners rushed to the major chambers of commerce to order the wine. It didn't take long for the more than 10,000 bottles of wine that Kasha had brought this time to be swept away. Those who couldn't grab it, unwilling to turn their heads, began to send people to carefully investigate the origin of the wine. I'm going to start other ways. And some of the guys with bigger intentions are even more 200 percent more obsessed.

There are hardly any secrets in the open market. In addition, the parties did not deliberately conceal it. It didn't take much effort for the makers of the two new liquors, brandy and whiskey, (at least on the surface), to emerge. However, these guys who found out the news naturally also knew Kasha's identity.

A count's nobleman who has a fiefdom in the kingdom, a strong man who has reached a high rank at a young age.

Most of the guys who had planned to use various means to obtain the secret recipe for brewing immediately died down. Making money out of the pockets of a noble earl lord with a fiefdom is absolutely unreasonable in the minds of ordinary people.

It is a pity that not all people with ulterior motives are dead-hearted. In Brettnia, there are also people who think they can afford to offend Casia's Leopolds. On the surface, most of these people are serving some wealthy merchants, or various churches and other organizations, but secretly they are supported and instigated by all the nobles in the county. All they had to consider was whether the benefits they would get from grabbing the deal and the price they would have to pay for going to war with the power of an earl in a powerful territory were the right price.

In the following period, Kasya's family cottage in the county town was visited by many visitors. Those county nobles who had more or less dealt with the Leopold family in the past put on the face of so-called elders, and came to test Kashya, who was a junior in the county aristocratic circle, under various pretexts.

Kasha's heart was filled with anger and disdain for these childish temptations. However, even in spite of his anger and disdain, Kasha still received these guests with the standard aristocratic etiquette.

Although Kasha is far from those who are good at playing with power in terms of sophistication, he is not simply a secret. After many unsuccessful attempts, fewer and fewer people came to the door.

Kasha clearly understood that these people had not given up on their schemes, but had just begun to shift their tactics to the table. From now on, the trouble really begins. Somewhat worried about the safety of the territory, and with the goods delivered by the Chamber of Commerce roughly ready, Kashya finally decided to return to the family territory of Prariley. Although even Kasha himself knew that the secret of the brewing of the new wine could not be concealed for a long time, he was unwilling to do so. It's just that sometimes even if you clearly understand that what you do is likely to be meaningless persistence, you still have to persevere.

After expressing his gratitude for the support of those who had been friends with his family for generations, Kasha began to arrange for his retinue to pack up and return to the territory.

The warriors of the Order and the servants of the villa shuttled back and forth in the mansion, busy doing the final checks before departure, urged by the butlers and the knights who led the team.

The scale of the convoy that went back this time was really not small, even for the earls of the realm, more than 200,000 gold coins in cash was enough to call a lot of money. In the more remote parts of the kingdom, rumors of some shy and declining nobles secretly doing bandit business and plundering caravans passing through their territory are not new. No matter what trivial matters must be checked again and again until they are correct, so as not to be caught off guard when they encounter trouble in the wilderness.

Dressed in a simple and neat fitted rider's outfit with a hint of luxury, Kashya stood on the balcony and looked down at the front yard beneath his feet, the busy crowd becoming so small.

"Am I still too weak now?" Kashya sighed lightly as he stroked the railing with his left hand and the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand.

"It won't last long, though."

Although Kashya had tried her best to control herself and did not show any negative emotions in front of her subordinates, those who knew her well could detect that Kashya's expression had been filled with violent anger as long as they paid close attention.

"Someday, I'll make you regret it!"

"Click-"

Kashya's unconscious crushed the railing in her left hand, and with the clear cracking sound of the wood, a dazzling dou aura burst out in her body, and then contracted back strangely in the next second.

Some people in the courtyard below noticed the anomaly above their heads and looked up suspiciously. But all they saw was the departing back of their young earl.

A few hours later, the convoy carrying goods and gold coins drove out of the villa, escorted by a group of Rogge Knights soldiers. Shortly after the convoy left, a figure appeared on the balcony where Kasha had been standing.

Shi Jinxin touched the place where the railing was broken, and then raised his eyes to look at the distant convoy. I saw an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and then his figure disappeared in a flash.
