Under the re-exploration of that group of professional mineral deposits, the reserves of the amethyst ore were determined to be 7 billion cars, and the mining time can be maintained for four years under full mining, which can only be regarded as a small mineral deposit on the mainland.

However, four years was enough time for Aaron to reserve his strength. No one can guarantee that the price of amethyst in four years will still be as crazy as it is now!

In addition to the mines, Kingston now has a thriving service and handicraft manufacturing industry, but this is a knock-on effect caused by the mines. Once the resources of the mine are exhausted, the handicraft manufacturing industry may be hit to a certain extent but can continue to prosper, but the service industry will inevitably be hit hard, and even lose its glory today. Therefore, it is necessary to find new points of economic growth, which is the most basic task for a lord.

Kingston's economy continues to soar, creating miracles and new records, and Duke Paul and the imperial capital are naturally paying attention to this miraculous phenomenon. Several inspection and inspection teams were sent to Kingston, and Gibson's own son, Gibson Jr., had also returned twice before, under the name of visiting his father and brother Atai, but in fact he had come to have a relationship with Alunpan on the orders of his boss, hoping to give the boss's goods a new dumping point.

Of course, Allen can also see from his words that Gibson has changed and become mercenary. In addition to his official business, Gibson Jr.'s most fundamental purpose is to get Arun to help him open a green channel throughout the Salz region. But think about yourself, think about everyone here, which one is no longer changing?

Kingston's special location in a remote mountainous area, coupled with the low tax rate and contribution household registration policies implemented by Zabas, under the propaganda and recitation of the secret traveling singers, endless war refugees and commoners, petty aristocrats, and even those slaves who longed for freedom followed the traveling singers sent by the Zabas for thousands of miles to approach Kingston.

In this case, Zabas, as the chief executive of the Kingston Affairs Committee, has more influence than Lord Aaron. Kingston's influence quickly took control of the entire Salz region, and even the Marquis of Anthony of Salz changed his attitude towards Chairman Zabas from his previous cooperation to compliment and welcome.

You must know that although the Marquis of Anthony has a high status, Salz City is not only his domain, but also has business associations, various trade associations and organized trade unions behind him, and these groups have formed a huge network of interests. They have been able to reap significant financial benefits from Kingston every year by relying on providing them with a variety of services and daily goods in recent years. Once the economic interests are large enough, they can promote the development and growth of other interests.

Therefore, the pressure on the Marquis of Anthony is not small, and only by currying favor with Zabas can the Salz region maintain its current state of rapid development. Otherwise, a few years ago, not to mention the entire continent, even the citizens of the southern part of the Aragon Empire, how many people had heard of the name of Salz, let alone invest in entrepreneurship and tourism.

To put it bluntly, Kingston, while not the richest part of Aquitania Province, is definitely the most popular area in the province in recent years. Baron Allen's boldness and vision have reinvigorated Kingston, and investors are optimistic about the future of Kingston.

It can be said that if Kingston does not have Allen, then most of these investors with huge energy in their hands will run away, and those small and medium-sized investors who are eager to move will inevitably withdraw one after another. Duke Paul, the lord of Aquitania Province, also saw this, and subconsciously instructed various departments to provide various channels of help for the Salz region, especially Kingston, the territory of Baron Aaron, hoping to build a southern commercial city that could compete with Memphis City.

Even if it cannot be compared with Memphis, which has a deep historical heritage, a long-standing reputation, and strong financial resources enough to compete with the country, at least it must be a "Little Memphis City"! If it can attract one-tenth of the business travelers on the mainland to its own territory, what a great honor this is!

Gibson Jr. found Allen for all these reasons. Hopefully, Aaron's friendship and father's face will open a green channel for him in the Salz region to dump goods from Memphis. In response to Gibson Jr.'s request, Aaron directly threw the problem to Zabas and said that he was very willing to do so, but there were groups or associations in various industries and regions in the Salz region. If he doesn't have a certain advantage, even if he creates a green channel for him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in this place where dragons and snakes are already mixed.

Later, Zabas was forced by the old man's chatter and Allen's face to create a green channel for Gibson Jr.: exemption from inspection, a reduction in the business tax rate by 20%, exemption from customs duties, and preferential procurement rights for all levels of government in the Salz region............

However, in the days that followed, Gibson Jr. soon revealed the violent nature of his bones. Through Atai's connections, and in the name of his father and lord, he carried out all kinds of violent methods against the opponents of the industry he ran in private. For a time, the underground order in Kingston was in chaos, and the leaders of various gang organizations approached Zabas one after another to ask for an explanation, otherwise they would have to do something.

This was a surprise to Aaron. It stands to reason that he has given so many preferential policies, and Gibson Jr. has an advantage in other aspects except for the loss of outlets and transportation logistics, and there is no need to use these means at all. Although he might do the same if he were Aaron, this is his own territory, and whoever messes with his order is a bastard and must be punished.

With Aaron's acquiescence, the mafia in the Salz region took revenge on this "foreign force" with frenzied violence. In just half a month, more than 30 outlets established by little Gibson with the help of his boss's abundant resources and his father's local prestige were destroyed one after another, and the mercenary groups hired by the Barn Merchants in the Salz region were either willing to bear a huge amount of compensation for breaking the contract or terminate the employment agreement, or were attacked by unknown gangs one after another, suffering heavy casualties.

In this frenzied revenge, although Gibson Jr. approached Zabas and his father several times to ask to see the lord Aaron, the news he received was a message that the lord had entered the magical forest and had not returned.

It wasn't until three days after this frenzied crackdown that Aaron returned to his mansion and sent a message to little Gibson: Gibson, my dear brother. I deeply regret that you are not persona grata here, and I am sure that you will do well outside the Salz region......

Obviously, this is a euphemistic eviction order. For this reason, little Gibson once again went to the baron's mansion to make a big noise, loudly denounced Aaron's unkindness, and even fabricated some things to slander the lord's reputation and threatened to make Aaron look good in the future.

Aaron, who was in the lord's mansion, shook his head when he heard this, he couldn't be very angry with this former friend, but not being angry didn't mean he could ignore it.

"Aaron, damn it, shouldn't you help your brother, you know, he's my son!" the old man sat down on a sour wooden chair in a huff, and when he heard the constant cursing from outside the mansion, his heart dripping blood, and suddenly he felt a sense of disgust and hatred for the adopted son in front of him.

If he hadn't sent him to join the army, he would still be a poor petty worker. Oh ** kind of thing, actually treat my own son like this.

Since the mine was operating normally, the old man had less contact with Aaron, and he had not met more than five times in two years. In the past, when little Gibson had not yet appeared, the old man and Allen had no substantive contradictions, and they lived a prosperous and powerful life. But now it's different, although his son has heard that he has gained a foothold in the most prosperous city in the mainland, he is ashamed of himself compared to the adopted son in front of him, how can he make his father not worry about resentment!

You must know that the old man has never been a person who knows how to be grateful for the pictures! Little Gibson has exposed his true nature after going through countless tortures, and has continued his father's ideological outlook.

Atai on the side was silent, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't understand any big truths, he just thought that Aaron really shouldn't treat his former friends like this, and let those ** bastards attack little Gibson in groups.

As the days passed, little Gibson shouted and cursed in front of the lord's palace every day, and all kinds of foul words kept coming out, which greatly annoyed the townspeople of Kingston. Ever since this damn bastard came to Kingston, he's been in a miasma of normalcy. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was afraid that he was the old man's biological son, it is estimated that there would be no need for gangsters, and even the saliva of ordinary townspeople would have drowned him and the people of the Barn Merchant Group more than a dozen times.

After sweeping away most of the Barn merchants' outlets in the Salz region, the forces of all parties also retreated in tacit agreement and did not personally attack this guy who was a brother of the lord. Aaron did not say anything or take any action against little Gibson in front of the lord's mansion for many days, and people from all sides would never dare to rashly move little Gibson until they had figured out the psychology of the most influential and powerful person in the Salz region.

Every move of the forces and the masses was sent to Arun by the personnel of the public security law enforcement agency. Finally, at noon on the tenth day, when little Gibson came to the lord's mansion on time every day to scold, the master of Kingston acted.

Just when the three or four hundred people of the Barn Merchant Group had just not yet stood firm in the huge square in front of the Lord's Palace, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded, and the people of the Barn Merchant Group were horrified to find groups of armed teams armed with shields and spears and strong armor surging out from dozens of corners on the edge of the square. The messy and noisy sound of steel colliding made the hearts of the people of the Barn Merchant Group beat faster, their palms sweated, and some of the timid people were even more blue and white-lipped, and one leg was planted on the ground and trembled all over.
