Count Mex, the lord of the city of Ending City, let the whole banquet whisper, but Count Mex did not pay attention to the nobles who took the initiative to come forward to show goodwill, but found an empty seat at random, and after sitting down, he motioned for Old Johnny to continue.

"The Jonny Chamber of Commerce has been silently contributing to the Ending City for almost 10 years, and has made a certain contribution to the development of the Ending City. Old Johnny saw Count Mex's gesture and began to speak again.

"Just 2 days ago, our Jonny Chamber of Commerce was fortunate enough to get the fifth liquor trade franchise license of the Ending City! Thank you to the City Lord's Mansion for your trust in the Jonny Chamber of Commerce, and our Jonny Chamber of Commerce will ...... in the future."

The people could no longer hear what Old Johnny said, and all the nobles at the banquet were shocked by what Old Johnny said.

"How dare that old dog do that!"

"I'm going to kill him!"

"Not only are we going to kill him, but his chamber of commerce is going to be with him to the end. ”

"As long as it has something to do with that old dog, all of them must be killed. ”

The group of nobles on the east side of the banquet reacted the most when they heard Old Johnny's words.

"Bang. With a bang, the leader of this group of nobles also couldn't keep his composure, and the wine glass in his hand was crushed by him.

Then he felt that someone was watching him, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was Count Mex, who was silently watching them from a distance, and when he saw them look over, Count Mexs raised his glass and smiled a victor.

After seeing Mex's smile, the leader of this group of nobles calmed down, knowing that under the emotion just now, the action of crushing the wine glass must have been completely watched by the other party.

"Well, it's no use complaining, the howling of the defeated dog will only be annoying. ”

After the leader regained his composure, he took out a beautiful handkerchief from his pocket with his left hand and slowly wiped the wine stains off his hands. And stopped the complaints of the people around him, he knew that as long as Count Mexs was present today, he would not be able to make any small moves for the time being.

"This round is considered to be their victory, I didn't expect them to be so bold, but this is not the end, I will make them regret it! After the leader finished speaking, he ignored the banquet that was still going on, and left the banquet with a circle of nobles from them, and he was now in a hurry to go back and gather the people to discuss how to deal with the subsequent situation.

"The leader of the group of people who left just now is Count Harold, the real power lord of the Golden Lion City, and also the backer of the Golden Lion Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the Ending City. I don't know when Pande has finished his work and came to the edge of the rostrum.

"Aren't you in charge of the security work of the banquet?" Barron asked strangely, Golden Lion City He knew that it was a city south of Curtain City, but the population was very small, only a fraction of that of Curtain City, the geography was relatively remote, and there was no special output, so most of the chambers of commerce were reluctant to go.

Pande pouted at the people brought by Count Merx and said, "Since the people from the City Lord's Mansion have appeared, of course there is nothing to do with us. ”

Barron saw Pande's disbelief, so he decided to divert the subject: "Is the Earl of Harold you just mentioned our enemy?"

"It can only be said that it is one of the enemies, don't forget that our opponent is the four major chambers of commerce, and Count Harold is only the backer of the Golden Lion Chamber of Commerce. Pande's expression became serious as he spoke, "Among the people who were with Count Harold just now, there are the patrons behind the three major chambers of commerce. ”

"Which three?"

"Viscount White, Viscount Friesland and Viscount Vandal, the three are the supporters behind the White Chamber of Commerce, the Slan Chamber of Commerce and the Dahl Chamber of Commerce respectively. At the same time, they are all die-hard supporters of Count Harold, and they are also the only 4 territorial nobles around the Curtain City!"

Barron was taken aback, he didn't expect that the 4 territorial nobles they were going to face in the Johnny Chamber of Commerce were actually 4 nobles, but he knew the difference between lord nobles and ordinary nobles.

The continent of Bogdano is generally divided into two types of nobles, the domain nobles and the court nobles.

As the name suggests, a territorial nobility refers to a nobleman who has his own territory, and the lord of the territory is exempt from all taxes except for a fixed percentage of taxes to the royal family every year.

The lord has all the military, personnel, administrative, financial (taxation and coinage money), judicial customization in the territory, and even the power to divide the nobles, as well as some diplomatic powers, which can almost be regarded as an independent small kingdom.

The royal families of various countries are also a kind of territorial aristocracy to some extent, but they are relatively large.

The nobles who own the territory can be hereditary and have no particularly serious crimes, and even the king does not have the right to take back the territory in the case of treason, rebellion, etc.

However, in order to control the territory, the royal family often rarely divided the territory. Only members of the royal family and those who have performed great deeds will be granted the title.

However, as time passed, there were more and more territorial nobles in the kingdom, and the population and land that now belonged to the nobles of the major territories occupied more than 40% of the kingdom.

The court nobility belonged to the nobility without a territory, although there were also noble titles, but the noble titles would decrease with the change of generations, and if there were no outstanding figures in the descendants, there were not a few who eventually became commoners.

The number of court nobles is huge, often several times that of the territorial nobles, and the goal of almost all court nobles is to have a territory belonging to their own family, so that the family can develop for a long time.

A well-run territory can be said to be the foundation of a family.

"4 territorial nobles, it's not easy to deal with. Barron sighed.

Pande didn't speak at this time but just smiled, the territorial nobles have their advantages, but the Jonny Chamber of Commerce is not alone.

............

............

With the departure of Earl Harold and several nobles of his same force, the banquet hall was instantly reduced by a large number of people.

The rest of the people in the hall were either allies of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce, or people who were interested in the money scene depicted by the Jonny Chamber of Commerce after the establishment of the branch, and most of these people were nobles of the Ice Wind Kingdom or the head of the Chamber of Commerce.

They are very happy to see this situation in the Curtain City, the more muddy the Curtain City, the more space they can operate.

There are also some neutral nobles who are not allowed to leave the table because of the presence of the city lord, Count Mex.

However, these neutral people knew about the contradiction between Count Mex and Count Harold, but they did not expect that the contradiction between the two had reached this level.

It is estimated that from now on, the Ending City will usher in a struggle for power and reshuffle, once they stand on the wrong team, it may be a disaster for these nobles.
