Chapter 53: The Court Council

After receiving Leon's letter, the big businessman Silas finally breathed a sigh of relief, their current cooperation is not a problem, as long as the Count does not interfere, it will not be so easy for Peel to break down this business alone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Silas immediately ordered that the heads of the business, especially those in charge of Ravenwood's trade, must be cautious, and Peel had used the method of framing several people to bring down several people, and Silas would not have made the same mistake with the previous experience.

How Lyon resolved the crisis is not mentioned in the letter. Silas noticed that there was no change on the Earl's side and knew that Leon's method was effective, but he didn't know how long it could last, so he could only send someone to keep an eye on it.

Silas guessed that Peel was angry and would take action in a few days, and that he would have to control the situation before he took action, so that he could not cause a big disaster.

In addition to Peel's business, another thing that also worries him is the upcoming trade conference.

This conference was held once every three years, mainly to expand foreign trade, and in this era the information was not well-informed, many merchants would only choose to cooperate with people in the nearest city, and too far away for fear of losing credibility.

Because of this, the Chamber of Commerce will hold a general meeting to promote trade between the two places as a guarantee in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, because of this initiative, many people have benefited greatly.

"Mr. Silas, Lord Earl, please come and visit. "The chamber of commerce's guards came in to spread the word, and the Count sent someone to find him.

"Oh, got it. Silas put down his pen, knowing that nothing good would happen to him this time.

The Count's castle was to the northwest, and that area was almost a gathering place for the nobility, and even Silas could only buy residences in the outlying areas.

"Lord Earl. Silas was brought into the castle and found that Peel was actually on the side, but he didn't expect him to move so fast, and he couldn't help it after a day.

Silas has only been here a few times, most of the time he is invited to the Earl's banquet, the room is full of people, there is no way to appreciate it, today I came in and glanced twice, the Earl's residence can only be described as luxurious.

The marble pillars are hung with glass lamps from the Straits City-State, and the paintings on the walls are almost all by famous artists, and this blanket on the ground is also of good color. The castle of the Prince of Lyon is a slum in comparison.

"Silas, did you come to know what was the reason for coming to you today?" the Count's voice was neither fast nor slow, and he could not hear the mentality contained in it.

Silas probably guessed that since he had been approached, he would listen to the Earl first, so he replied, "It's been too busy lately, and I don't know what happened for a while." ”

"Hmph, you're not old and foolish, are you?" Before the Count could speak, Peel sneered at what else could he do with him.

The Count glanced at Peel, and he immediately shut up. If he wants to live a good life in White Mist City, the Earl must not be offended, although he does not interfere in the affairs between merchants, it does not mean that he will tolerate someone challenging his authority.

"It is said that you are in business with Prince Lyon of Ravenwood?" the Count began his own question, which he had heard for a long time, but it was necessary to start from the beginning.

"Yes, and Mr. Peel and Prince Lyon are also cooperating. Silas replied that the town was now working with both of them, and that the previous ore treaty between Lyon and Peel had not yet expired, so they were also working together.

"Well, not anymore. "Peel unilaterally revoked the partnership after returning from Ravenwood, but wanted compensation? As a businessman, Peel sometimes doesn't play by the rules, especially if the other party doesn't have the same strength.

Silas nodded secretly, this matter was a bit unexpected, but it was a good thing for Peel to completely withdraw from business between the two places.

"Prince Aung doesn't have a title there, you should know that, right?" the Count continued his question.

"I didn't know it before, but then Mr. Peel informed me and I knew. Silas didn't know what the Count wanted to do this time, so he could only deal with it carefully, and the matter of the title was indeed brought up by Peel, so he didn't tell a lie.

"You ......," Peel was about to argue when the Count glared back.

"Since I don't have a knighthood, then Ravenwood is my territory, what do you think I should do?" The earl will naturally not be willing to lose the battle, but Peel is only a clever person, and he is useless in such a big matter, so he asked Silas, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, to discuss it, and as for the staff behind it, he didn't want to pay attention to them for the time being.

"Lord Earl, this is a matter between lords, and I, a merchant, can't figure it out. Silas refused without hesitation, and he would never wade into troubled waters if he shouldn't have been involved, or he would be as embarrassed as Peel.

"Oh, so that's what you think, forget it. "The Count is not going to force him to speak, that would be nonsense, and it will not help at all.

For a while, the Count could only bury the matter, because the multiple-choice questions given to him by Leon were really not easy to do.

It doesn't matter whether the prince of Lyon has a title or not, what matters is how the count treats him.

If he was regarded as a lord, of course the earl could not encroach on it, but it would be a serious crime in the country, and the duke would not dare to do it, and he would not dare to do it.

If he was regarded as an archon, he would have to ask the royal family about it first, but now it happened to be the king's enthronement anniversary, and he didn't want to go at this time, he was not invited to this celebration, and if he suddenly rushed over, it would cause some misunderstanding.

The Earl shook his head, this prince is really not simple.

"Lord Earl, if nothing else, can I leave first?" Silas still had a lot of work to attend to, and it was a waste of time to stand here.

"The Earl hasn't spoken yet, what are you anxious about?" Peel always wanted to interject, as if he was uncomfortable not speaking.

"By the way, there's a trade conference coming up recently, right?" the Count could already ignore Peele's presence, and he remembered the recent events of the Chamber of Commerce. He had to attend every trade conference, because some of the benefits generated went into his pocket, and of course such an important matter would be kept in mind.

"That's right, most of the work is already ready, and there are only a few small issues that need to be solved. "Silas has hosted many times, and it doesn't take much effort to do it.

"That's good, it's just in time for the king's celebration in the near future, and trade with the rest of the country will surely go even more smoothly. "The Count didn't make it to the celebration, but it was the happiest thing to have money to make.

"That's true. Silas is also full of confidence in this conference.
