Yanmei is not in the Yi Red Tavern, and the people who manage the Yi Red Tavern are Renault and Little Sisters. Few people dare to make trouble in the tavern, after all, Renault and they are often followed by three tall and powerful rabid dog Kasia warriors, plus Yan Mei's behavior is relatively tactful, and she never provokes anyone.

If anyone gets drunk and makes trouble, they don't have to wait for the rabid dog samurai to make a move, they are already thrown out of the tavern door by the other drinkers.

When Renault and Little Xius saw the huge figure of the Storm Bear Warrior appear, they thought that it must be that Brother Jiajing had returned. It was hard to hide the ecstasy, cheering and welcoming out the door, and sure enough, I saw Jiajing who stepped in!

They were so surprised that they jumped three feet high, rushed to Jiajing, and shouted in ecstatic: "Brother Liu Fu, you are back!"

Jiajing saw that the two of them were much taller and stronger than before, so he smiled, and the anger of Muhand's betrayal actually faded a little at this moment, Jiajing held a young man in one hand, and half-jokingly blamed: "Haha, it seems that you have a very comfortable little life! ”

Renault said with a bitter face: "Brother Liu Fu, we are not lazy! We are very diligent in practicing every day." Look, am I stronger than before?" he said, and he bent his arms and puffed up his muscles to show Jiajing.

Jiajing put them down, deliberately said with a cold face, "Then why are you lying on the recliner?"

Xiao Xiusi smiled: "Brother Liu Fu, now it's our turn to look at the tavern, and we have nothing to do, so let's take a rest, do you tell us to stand all the time?"

Jiajing knocked on his head: "You kid is cunning, by the way, how can you change people to sell wine, what about Yanmei?"

Now the wine is sold at the counter by three young girls, all of whom Jiajing doesn't know.

Xiao Xiusi stuck out his tongue: "Brother Liu Fu is really, how can Sister Yan Mei say that she is also the wife of Brother Liu Fu and the mistress of the family, how can she easily come out to sell wine? ”

Jiajing was stunned when he heard this: "Why did you go to Badaling, isn't there someone mining? ”

Renaud nodded, turned around and laughed at the drinkers who were curious about Jiajing and the others, and put down his words: "Our master is back, everyone is happy, all the wine in Yihong Tavern today is half price!"

A burst of applause came, and I only heard a familiar voice say: "I didn't expect Renault to have such a bearing at a young age, and he must not be an ordinary person in the future." Hahaha, I haven't seen you for half a year, how is Brother Jiajing lately?"

Jiajing turned his head and saw that it was the city lord Cafirot and Beckham and a dozen guards walking in.

Renault and Little Theseus hurriedly bent down and saluted: "See the city lord." ”

Cafirot waved his hand and smiled, "No need to be polite. ”

Jiajing now knows some aristocratic etiquette, covering his left chest with one hand, and bending down slightly: "I have seen the city lord Marquis." ”

As a follower of Jiajing, there is no need to salute Cafirot, Jiajing already represents all of them.

The Punal brothers had already walked to the counter and drank wildly, but this Cafirot arrived, but he didn't look at it out of the corner of his eye.

Cafirot took Jiajing's hand affectionately and smiled at the drinkers in the tavern: "You don't have to be restrained, just drink." As he spoke, he looked Jiajing up and down again, secretly shocked in his heart, but he still said with a light smile on his face: "It seems that Brother Jiajing has been out for half a year and has gained a lot!"

Jiajing was also a little surprised by Cafirot's vision, and he could actually see that he was very different from before, but he still didn't change his face and said: "I don't know that the city lord is visiting, and I don't welcome it from afar." However, Jiajing was about to go to Badaling to visit Yanmei, and he was afraid that he would not be able to greet the city lord. ”

changed to ordinary nobles, and when they saw the city lord coming, it was too late to rejoice, how could they be like Jiajing.

However, in Jiajing's eyes, Cafirot is not even his partner, let alone respect.

Cafirot's face did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "Of course, this is the city lord who is abrupt, Brother Jiajing and his wife have not seen each other for many days, so they should have a good get-together." Haha, Brother Jiajing, Yan Mei is a big beauty, you will be there for half a year, but you don't understand the amorous feelings! Go quickly! The city lord will find Brother Jiajing to meet later!"

Those henchmen and servants sent by wealthy merchants saw that the lord of a city and Jiajing were brothers, and they sighed in their hearts and secretly envied.

Jiajing smiled indifferently: "Thank you for your concern." Lao Ke, you arrange accommodation for these mercenary brothers and the old butler, and I will go back as soon as I go. ”

The old butler sent by the wealthy merchant to serve Hou Jiajing hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Viscount, you don't need to be polite. The villain has to go back to report to his master that he knows that the viscount has returned safely to pick the stars. ”

Jiajing said casually to Cafirot: "Well, Lord of the City, he is the old butler of the Imperial Mansion Trading House. He admires the city lord very much, and is willing to relocate to Star Picking City to contribute to the prosperity of Star Picking. ”

Cafirot is such a cunning person, of course he knows the thoughts of the imperial house, he took so much money from Yihong, he should give Jiajing a favor, and nodded at the moment: "There are merchants who move to pick up stars, and the lord of this city should welcome it." ”

As he spoke, he said lightly to the old butler: "Go back and tell the royal house, just say that the lord of the city said that he is welcome to come and pick up stars." ”

The old butler was so ecstatic that he fell to his knees with a "poof": "Thank you, Lord Castle!" They all knew that since Cafirot had opened his mouth, the barony of the otaku was indispensable.

Cafirot waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't be polite, you can go." ”

Jiajing bowed his hand to Cafirot and said, "Then Jiajing has also taken his leave, and he will go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet the City Lord in person another day." ”

Cafirot exchanged a few more words with Jiajing, and then left with Beckham and the guards.

The leader of the mercenary group who escorted Jiajing back also said goodbye to Jiajing, and left with the old housekeeper and a few servants.

Renault instructed the three rabid samurai and the tavern girl to take a good look at the tavern, so he and Jiajing rode with them to Badaling.

Along the way, Jiajing asked Renault a little puzzled: "Renault, why does Yanmei want to move the tavern to Badaling?"

Renault smiled, "I don't know." This was decided by Sister Yanmei, it may be that too many people came to the tavern to peek at the secret of winemaking. ”

Jiajing frowned: "Yanmei is too nonsense, Badaling is so remote and desolate, how can it live in people, and there are robbers everywhere, what should I do if something happens!"

Xiao Xiusi took over: "Brother Liu Fu has 10,000 hearts, and now no robbers dare to rob us." Badaling has also been transformed by Sister Yanmei, and it is not a problem to live in it. The tavern moved for more than two months without any incidents. ”

Lao Ke has lived in Xingxing for so many years, and he knows best that thieves outside the city are rampant, and he can't help asking, "Why don't those robbers dare to rob us?"

Little Xius said with a smug face: "I don't know this very well, but Uncle Medill told us. After the establishment of the Yi Red Tavern, many merchants came to pick up stars, and those bandit gangs were too late to protect us, where would they rob us. Also, we have soldiers to protect the transport team. ”

Not to be outdone, Renault interjected: "The robbers won't bother the merchants who come to them, they just collect tolls and protection fees or something." Uncle Medir said that if they robbed the merchants, they would cut off their own money. The wine in the Yi Red Tavern is so easy to sell and the profits are extremely high, as long as those merchants are not in danger of their lives, they will come in an endless stream. ”

Hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but sigh that Maidil was thoughtful, if it was also his idea to relocate Badaling, it was really a rare talent, I couldn't imagine that a follower he had received at the beginning would have such a ability, it was rare that he was still standing up for the Punar brothers at a critical juncture, and he was a trustworthy bloody man.

After all, Renault is still young and his expression is not clear.

Those bandit gangs are not stupid, naturally they will not cut off the back road, charging protection money is more cost-effective than robbery, as long as the businessmen continue, their financial routes will not be broken, and it has become a long-term business.

The price of Yihong brand wine outside the city is much higher than that of ordinary wine, and the best Biluo Chun can even be linked to gold currency, which is priceless.

In addition to transportation fees, customs duties, robber protection fees, etc., profits can still be quadrupled, no wonder those merchants are not afraid of robbers, but also come to pick stars to do business.

However, Jiajing didn't know that the bandit gang changed its usual practice of killing people and robbing money, and instead collected tolls, which was also initiated by Vilia of the Knights of the Tempest.

After nearly half a year of practice, the bandit gang has tasted the sweetness and has even formed an alliance to jointly resist foreign bandit forces, protect businessmen, and strive for their own greater interests.

When he came to Badaling, Jiajing found that a simple post station had been established near the mountain road at the foot of the mountain, where four or five land-traveling giant turtle trucks were parked, and more than 20 workers carried wine barrels onto the car, ready to be transported away.

And five tall, long-haired ox Kasia were walking down the hill with huge oak barrels.

These cattle-depleting Kasia were only a little shorter than the Punnard brothers, and they were unusually strong, and the barrels full of wine weighed more than two hundred pounds, but in their hands they were like toys, light as nothing, and their strength was really amazing.

Jiajing asked Renault in surprise: "How can there be such a strong Cassia?"

After wandering outside for half a year, Jiajing knew that these powerful races of Kasia were rare, and now he was surprised to find five tall and strong cattle consuming warriors for him.

Punal, who was holding a jar of wine, interjected and answered Jiajing's doubts: "They are catastrophic Kasia, with extremely severe blood sickness, and they are weak when they see blood, so they are not suitable for the battlefield, but they have great strength and endurance, and they are suitable for logistics and transportation." The Kasia Empire had not had a large-scale battle for too long, and the status of the cattle-consuming Kasia was getting lower and lower, and many of them were expelled from the army in order to reduce the cost of the army. They had to look for work everywhere, and many of them left the Kasia Empire to earn a living. ”

"Well, we've recruited thirteen of these Cassia, and they're a lot of strength, but they're also going to eat a lot. They said they just had enough to feed them, and they didn't need a salary. However, Sister Yanmei still gave them two gold a month, and they were so happy that they worked hard. ”

Renault nodded and said, "Of course, two gold a month, which is already the salary of the regular army." They don't have to go to the battlefield to fight hard, and they can eat and drink enough, of course, they are satisfied. The soldiers we recruited ourselves were still ten gold a month. Sister Yanmei said that just raising this army will cost 4,000 gold a month!"

Jiajing didn't know that Yan Mei had recruited soldiers, but she didn't ask Renault about them. They are still young, about ten years old, and they don't know a lot of things.

Although no robbers dared to come to rob Yihong's supplies, the post was still guarded by more than twenty human soldiers wearing chain mail and carrying steel guns. They were very familiar with Renault and Little Xius, and when they saw them sitting in the giant armored beast cart, and a few strangers who had never seen them before, they couldn't help but step forward to stop the giant armored beast cart, led by a tall bearded man staring at Jiajing and them tightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Two sons, I don't know who they are?"

Yan Mei stipulated that without tokens, work permits or soldier nameplates, idlers and others could not go up the mountain, lest the secret of steaming wine leak out, and the Han was afraid that Jiajing would take Renault and Xiaoxiu up the mountain hostage, so they would come to inquire immediately.

The other soldiers also looked at Jiajing and the others with nervous expressions, the Punal brothers after several life-and-death battles, the momentum became more and more compelling, at a glance, the powerful momentum was not concealed in the slightest, and it was arrogantly exuded, just like two huge mountain opening axes lying there.

These soldiers have not been tested on the real battlefield, and it is not bad that they are not frightened into weakness in the face of the Kasia warriors, who are a lot higher than them.
