After the sad news was reported, the baron distributed the bereavements one by one, and gave everyone a gift.

These gifts, of little value, were brought by the Chamber of Commerce of Sattingford, so that some of the servants whose families had gone out and died had done their work and had a supper party, though some of them had red and swollen eyes and had apparently wept.

After a long journey, Fang Xin was obviously really hungry, so he calmly took his seat, in the second position, at this time, the baron's family came, including two children of a man and a woman, as well as Sattingford and his wife.

Although the sun still had some residual light, the candles on the top of the living room, the two brass lamp plates, had been inserted and lit one by one.

The lights illuminated the table, the fire in the fireplace, and the roar burned.

Everyone was seated, and the servants began to serve the food.

"Today they are all my own relatives, and there is only one guest, and this is Hamblin. The Knight of Fix, a magician, a member of the Fox family, from the kingdom of Samppur, owns five ships, seven estates, this time I met a pirate, came back alive, and was able to earn money, all thanks to the Knight of Hamblin. ”

During this time, the baron had apparently made a tongue to tell his wife and relatives what kind of person Fang Xin was, and now everyone present saluted to express their gratitude, and Fang Xin had no choice but to return the salute.

"This is Sattingford, and a member of my family, and I share his grandfather, who is now a member of the Oblin Chamber of Commerce, and the president of the town's bank."

Satin Fu and Fang Xin greeted each other.

"My name is Sattingford and I am honored to serve you! I've just heard about your deeds, and it's amazing. "You are not only a knight, but also a qualified captain," said Sardingford. Still a magician, a successful businessman. ”

"Oh, nothing, as long as you can survive the storms and pirates on the sea, any ship that is in season can make a good profit." Fang Xin said modestly.

"Yes, the wind and waves of the sea, in accordance with the needs of the season and items. And then there are pirates, oh, the first two can be solved. The problem of piracy is really difficult to solve. The baron said to Sattingford, "Isn't it? You are the place of the Chamber of Commerce. I should know better than I do. ”

"Yes, that's it, on the port. Constant trade in glass, ceramics, ornaments, wine, weapons, copper and iron, as well as sugar, tobacco, spices, and precious stones, made money flow continuously, and many people became very wealthy in a short time. Sattingford replied, "But because of this, pirates are like fish in water." Robbing a ship, although it has to be dealt with cheaply, but even if the ship and its goods are counted together, you can make a fortune if you succeed once. ”

"The most odious thing is that the kingdoms are fighting with each other, and this pirate trade is taken to the next level, and the kingdoms are trying to gain wealth. Even acquiescing in the wars of plundering by ships. And the kingdom dock to digest the stolen goods and make a lot of profit from them. Because of the convenient channels for selling stolen goods, pirates no longer have to worry about the future, and many nobles of the kingdom are involved in these actions. ”

"Yes, the sea trade is big, and it's also very dangerous!" When the baron heard this, he said with emotion: "But once the money comes, it is equivalent to the annual income of the territory." ”

"However, dear baron, if you have the principal, you can actually invest, now that various industries are developing, you only need to invest carefully, generally speaking, the annual interest is ten percent!" Sardingford said: "Now all banks are implementing the deposit interest system, in order to absorb a large amount of money to meet the needs, you can invest in the bank, you can get a profit of five percent a year, this risk is relatively small." ”

"Give the money to the Chamber of Commerce, oh, a Chamber of Commerce that can go bankrupt at any time, and there is no collateral yet, it's really not a good idea, don't you say?"

"Yes, baron, of course, the Chamber of Commerce will go bankrupt, but you should trust a reputable Chamber of Commerce, at least for a few years, the Chamber of Commerce will not have problems, you say yes!"

"That's right, dear Hamblin, what do you say?"

"yes, what do you think?"

"Alright, alright, let me tell you a little!" Fang Xin pondered and said, "The investment of the Chamber of Commerce and the bank can still have a little bit, but it can't be concentrated together. ”

"You should understand that a few hundred years ago, loans were largely recovered, and land, especially lent to gentlemen with titles and territories, but now, a chamber of commerce rarely extends to a hundred years, and who knows when it will go bankrupt? So, if you want to listen to my thoughts, it is to give a quarter, or a third, so that you can get a profit, and you will not lose your old capital. ”

Obviously, this passage is very in line with the hearts of the people present, so the baron said enthusiastically thanks, in the following time, discuss how to invest, obviously, although this time although I made some money, but because I had to buy goods, so there was not much money this time, but Sardin Fu didn't mind, and finally finalized, next time if you make money, you can really deposit 2000 gold lake in the bank for a year.

After eating, there was no playing cards, and when Fang Xin said that he was tired from the journey, the master was secretly happy - he was really tired, so he announced the disbandment, and Fang Xin was led into the room by a maid.

This maid wears a maid dress with lace, ah, it must be explained that in fact, the average aristocratic family has this standard maid suit, although it is not unchanged, but this kind of clothing has not changed for 200 years.

In the room, there were bookshelves, and the maid brought milk tea, snacks, and even cigars, and lit candles, bowed and said, "My lord, I'm nearby, you can call me if you have something." ”

"Got it." Fang Xin glanced at the candle, well, this candle can be lit for an hour.

Pacing to the bookshelf, he pulled out a book.

Oh, it's a religious book, Eun, touch another one, it's a biographies of historical celebrities—

In this era, knowledge was already quite widespread, at least among the aristocratic class, and the era when neither knights nor nobles needed to be literate was long gone.

Of course, it is very rare for a subordinate to be literate, so most of the industries that require knowledge in this era are held by the side branches and second sons of the nobles.

Flipping through this celebrity, ah, what a celebrity - Isaac!

According to the book, Isaac has deep-set wild eyes and a large beard.

He was born into a knightly family two hundred years ago, when the Kingdom of Blith was in turmoil and at war with the rival Kingdom of Recia.

Sixteen years later, at the age of sixteen, he entered the army and began his legendary career.

Because of his bravery, he was soon appointed as a ten-man squad leader by McKeever, the commander of the eleventh regiment of the kingdom where he was located, and he faithfully followed McKeever to fight for two years.

Later, in a battle, he killed a knight of an enemy country, which led to his promotion to the rank of captain of the hundred, and this promotion quickly paved the way for his military career.

In the next five years, he was quickly promoted from a captain to a general, and commanded a large army in battle, and his personal strength continued to grow, and finally won the title of Golden Knight, becoming one of the strongest warriors and generals in the kingdom, but this man had a cruel personality, was rude to the nobles and the council, and killed all the captives, and even suspicious and killed his own men, in one battle, he fell into a trap, and then was killed.

A total of 30 stab wounds were found on Isaac's body afterwards, and twenty years later, the king posthumously made him Marshal of the Kingdom.

Fang Xin saw it, just sneered, didn't say anything, this kind of story is too common, it's just the stupidity of the person concerned, he didn't even want to ask what the truth was, so he yawned, opened the curtains, and suddenly, the moonlight sprinkled in.

Walking to the window and looking down, there is a garden not far away, of course, it is winter, and there are basically no flowers blooming.

Well, such a day, step by step, is really a bit boring, Fang Xin thought so.

Under the present circumstances, in five years, he would have earned a considerable amount of money, and the knighthood might have been able to climb to the position of a baron, as long as he was willing to spend money to buy land.

Fortunately, in this era, land was relatively cheap, because commerce was initially developed, but real estate was not sufficiently developed.

As for magic, it can be promoted to about level 7 every year for five years, and the warrior level will probably stay at level 10, during this time, the island will not start anything, only infiltrate the mainland secretly - a period of relative peace.

Thinking like this, Fang Xin smiled, closed it, and then went to sleep, he was not a god, and he didn't know that in the distant city of Buying, an old man had already arrived in the city and was entertained by the knight.

This person will break Fang Xin's current life and bring a magnificent legend.
