Lords generally prefer to build their castles in the center of the city, reflecting a kind of central status and a status symbol. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But the center of White Mist City is the seat of the Chamber of Commerce, which speaks volumes about the importance that the Earl family attaches to merchants.

The trade conference is held at the Chamber of Commerce, so you can see businessmen coming from all over the world when you stand on the upper floor of the Chamber of Commerce.

Merchants are not nobles, but they are not ordinary commoners, they travel by carriages, even if their residence is not very far, they must choose a good carriage, this is a reflection of financial strength, the richer the merchants, the more luxurious the carriage.

Originally, the street outside the Chamber of Commerce was quite spacious, and if everyone walked over, everyone didn't need to wait outside at all, but now the street is blocked, and everyone still doesn't want to get out of the car, and they must wait until the carriage stops at the door of the Chamber of Commerce.

Silas was accustomed to such a scene, greeting every guest with a smile.

"Mr. Silas, long time no see. "The merchants got out of the carriage and said hello when they saw Silas.

Silas smiled and responded.

In addition to out-of-town merchants, merchants from the city will also participate.

"Silas, why are you still laughing?" said his old rival, Peel, as he slowly got out of the car. His carriage was drawn side by side by four fine white horses, which was fine on the street, but could not be placed on an ordinary road.

Peel said this out of concern at all. At first, he was the first object of trade in ore, but Silas preemptively signed a cooperation agreement, and was humiliated by the prince, so he canceled the trade with the prince in a fit of rage, and the result could only be a cheap Silas.

Originally, this evil breath didn't come out, but this tax adjustment finally gave him some psychological comfort.

"Otherwise, tear up the treaty in a fit of rage? Silas wasn't down in words either.

Silas has always been unaccustomed to his style of doing things, and has done a lot of hurtful things in order to get the position of president, such a person really doesn't want to have too much intersection with him. But White Mist City is so big, and he is still one of the important members of the Chamber of Commerce, and Silas can only endure it.

"My style?" said Peel and shook his head with a smile, no one wanted to admit it.

"Don't add to the traffic here, don't you see that there are so many people in the back?" Silas wanted him to leave quickly, and it would be a waste of energy to say such meaningless words.

"The Earl adjusted the tax for Ravenwood, it wouldn't be so easy for me, and sure enough, the person who is the president is rich and wealthy, and he doesn't care about it at all. Peel sarcastic.

When the tax adjustment spread, he also celebrated after learning the news, and his heart was really happy to see Silas in trouble. He asked someone about the specific situation, but there was no exact reply, what will happen in the future is still an unknown factor, so he must seize the opportunity to taunt once.

"Yes, of course people who don't have the ability are sad. "Silas has already had a countermeasure, and the tax adjustment will not have much impact on him at all. Just wait until the housekeeper returns, and the new plan can be implemented, and who else will laugh when the time comes?

"Oh, I'll see. Peel let out a strange laugh and finally followed the crowd into the venue.

The carriages stopped at the door one after another, and it took most of the morning for most of the morning when the guests were almost all there, but Silas and the others were still waiting outside, and the Count had not arrived, so they had to continue to wait.

The trade conference was originally proposed by the Earl's family, and as a major business event, it also affected the interests of the lord, so the Count had to participate in every conference, and even if he could not be there in person, there would be people from the family to delegate. But he is often always the last to arrive.

The avenue was clear, and it wasn't long before the Count's carriage slowly approached the other side of the street, surrounded by two rows of soldiers.

"Lord Earl. Silas and the others greeted him.

"Are you all here?" said the Earl, stepping out of the carriage and straightening his cuffs, before casually asking.

"Yes. Silas paid attention to the guests, several important people had already arrived, and it didn't matter if the rest of the unimportant people came.

At the beginning, the plan was to invite businessmen from other countries, but due to the change in the middle and the tight time, some small and medium-sized merchants were not invited, which had little impact on the conference.

"Did you receive the letter you received yesterday?" the Count did not intend to go in at once, but inquired about it. In fact, whether the letter was delivered or not, the person he sent had already informed him, but the meaning of the expression was another matter.

"Roger. Silas replied earnestly.

"And what do you think?" the Count stared at him, which was a crucial answer, and what he said determined whether he was on the side of the prince for a little benefit, or for the sake of his current position.

"As I said before, this is a matter between lords, and I don't understand it as a merchant. Silas certainly knows what to say, and he chooses neutrality. The benefits of ore and iron ingots are indeed attractive, but not at the risk of losing more.

The Count didn't put too much pressure on him, he said so. If necessary, he will make it clear that he is on the Earl's side, after all, the disparity in strength between the two lords is too great, and who to stand on is never a matter of choice.

"Haha, didn't you run a trade conference well? "The Earl is quite satisfied, Silas knows how to step aside to save some minor troubles, although it is not difficult to re-elect a president, but there are too few people as shrewd and capable as Silas to keep it.

"It's that I've thought too much, and I hope the Earl will forgive me. "At this point, it is necessary to follow the Count's wishes, and Silas's handling of this kind of problem has become almost instinctive.

In fact, everyone understands what the other party wants to express, but they just don't say it. Everyone has their own opinion when this is said, some people think it is good, some people think it is bad, but the person who speaks, the earl, then everyone who wants to stay in White Mist City can either say yes or shut up, there is no third choice.

Even if Silas didn't have a solution, he wouldn't argue on the matter, and now that the butler had gone to Ravenwood, he had to keep his mouth shut.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's go in, there are a lot of things to discuss at this trade conference. "The Count has nothing else to say, the task at hand is the Assembly.

They were about to enter the door when they heard an unexpected voice.

"Count Payne so early. ”

When the Count looked back, his face sank, and it was Leon Burton.
