However, Yan Mei didn't recruit so many soldiers, she only recruited three hundred people. These three hundred men were no ordinary soldiers, most of them were wandering Kasia warriors and mercenary warriors of outstanding strength.

Yi Hong is now wealthy, and the price of recruiting is twice that of ordinary soldiers, including equipping weapons and supporting the army of three hundred people, which is equivalent to thousands of imperial infantry, which is about the same as half a light cavalry regiment.

Originally, twice the military salary was not so outrageous, but among the three hundred private soldiers recruited by Yan Mei, the wandering Kasia warriors accounted for almost a hundred, and their food was huge, and the weapons and armor that Yan Mei equipped them with were also very sophisticated, and the price of a set of fine iron chain mail was more than ten times that of ordinary leather armor, so the price of supporting them was as many as many times compared with ordinary infantry.

With these three hundred soldiers, as well as the Tempest Knights who had some friendship with Yi Hong, Yi Hong finally gained a firm foothold in Badaling.

When Jiajing returned to pick up the stars, although the people who were guarding didn't recognize Jiajing, they saw the two burly bear clan Kasia, and saw the Yanjing family runes hanging on the car, no matter how dull their IQ was, they knew that it was Yihong's true owner who had returned.

In their inherent consciousness, no matter how well Yanmei did a good job, Caro's power was still in the hands of Jiajing, the head of the family, and Yihong Tavern was no exception.

Now Jiajing is a famous multimillionaire, coupled with Cafirot's vigorous care, although he can't be said to be under one person, he is definitely the one who belongs to the spire.

Those soldiers trotted awkwardly, and ran towards Jiajing's two huge and luxurious giant armored beast cars, and after a big slap, they took the initiative to take the reins of the giant armored beast with a hippie smile, and led the giant armored beast all the way into Star Picking City.

Those henchmen and servants sent by wealthy businessmen to serve Hou Jiajing, when they saw those soldiers patting Jiajing's ass, they couldn't help but sigh that their master was really not wrong, this Viscount Jiajing's status in Star Picking City was definitely not simple.

When had the Punal brothers been treated so ceremoniously by humans, they couldn't help but raise their heads proudly, and their momentum was high, like a triumphant general, almost like a giant ape beating his chest and shouting a song.

The caravan leader who went into the city to buy wine next to him couldn't help but be a little jealous, and complained to the guide who led them into the city next to him: "What kind of person is that, he actually entered the city without inspection, and the soldiers took them in person, is he the city lord, hum!"

The guide's face suddenly became frightened, and he quickly turned his head to look, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he put his mind at ease and replied with a little anger: "Be quiet, that's the head of the Yanjing family! I have only seen him once in half a year! If they hear it, we will all be finished!"

The team leader gasped and didn't dare to talk about anything. These caravans, who often come to pick up stars, naturally know the name of the Yan Jing family, not counting the support of Cafirot, even if the three hundred private soldiers of the Yan Jing family can make their caravan disappear completely. A powerful nobleman plays to death a rich merchant and commoner. Although it can't be said to be as easy as pinching an ant to death, it is definitely not difficult to do so.

Picking stars is a city with little oil and water, and there were few businessmen in the past, but after Yihong became famous, this face has changed drastically.

The high purity of the wines here attracts many merchants. The arrival of merchants meant an influx of wealth. Merchants will seize every opportunity to make a fortune to make money, and naturally they will not come empty-handed to pick up stars, nor will they only take away a small amount of fine wine. So every time they came, they brought with them a huge amount of other goods, and when they left, they not only bought the wine at a high price, but also bought a large number of wasteland specialties, brought them back to other places in Athena, and even exported them to other empires for sale.

At first, the robbers would rob the caravan, forcing the caravan to hire a large number of mercenaries for protection, but later the bandit gangs stopped robbing and instead charged protection fees, which was equivalent to the price of the mercenaries they hired, which indirectly made these merchants more willing to come to pick stars and do business.

Cafirot not only earned millions of gold directly through Yihong, but also earned almost 1.5 million yuan with transaction taxes, which is equivalent to his usual total income in three years in half a year.

With this money, Cafirot can train more powerful private soldiers, so as to firmly hold the throat of Star City, which connects the Great Wasteland and Athena, in his hands, and further realize his incomparably huge ambitions.

Therefore, Cafirot attached more importance to Jiajing, and when he knew that he was back, he immediately went to Yihong Tavern in person to meet Jiajing.

Jiajing returned to Yihong under the leadership of the soldiers, and almost didn't recognize that this was the mansion he had bought for a few hundred gold coins.

The houses near the mansion were demolished and replaced by a huge tavern and liquor exchange.

The tavern is the Yihong Tavern, and the exchange is also the Yihong Exchange, and at a glance it is clear that they are all the inherent property of Yihong.

The Yihong Tavern has not changed much, the rules are still the same as before, only six jars of Biluo Chun are served every day, the price remains the same, and the price of other high-grade wines is half cheaper than that sold to merchants in bulk, but it is not allowed to be taken out of the tavern to drink.

When Jiajing entered the tavern, the tavern was still crowded, much more lively than the mercenary guild, and even people from the mercenary guild came to discuss with Yan Mei to develop Yihong into a branch of their mercenary guild.

Now the output of Yihong Distillery has reached as many as 700 barrels, most of which are processed from the original liquor brewed in other taverns, with an average of 20 gold barrels, but the cost is less than 1 gold, and the profit in a day is almost 13,000 gold, in addition to the workers' wages, transportation costs, and the "protection fee" handed over to Cafirot, what falls into Jiajing's pocket is almost 5,000 gold, plus some other income, it is far more than that.

Although it is inferior to other great nobles in the empire who squander tens of thousands of gold coins, they definitely belong to a very wealthy small group of people.

Of the 700 barrels of wine at the Yihong Distillery, almost 70 barrels were consumed at the Yihong Distillery, which is a large oak barrel half a person high, which shows how huge the daily flow of Yihong is.

Medi has always complained about this, and is reluctant to waste the wine here, if the tavern is closed, at least three thousand gold more profits can be made every day, and the six barrels of Bi Luo Chun are not those twenty gold coins of the big road goods, Yihong sells them to the wine merchant in one day, that is, three barrels, and the wine merchant has already sold a thousand gold barrels.

However, Yan Mei thought that this would make Yihong's reputation more popular, and more people would support Yihong, so she insisted on running the tavern, and the price still did not increase.
