Lin Nabu first bowed to Lin Feng, and then asked Lin Feng for questions about tomorrow night's banquet. Lin Feng also knew that the reason why he did this was that the family in the Baron's Mansion was too poor, and Lin Feng was not going to be too shabby when he held a banquet for the first time, so he had to get Lin Feng's permission to use the gold coins that exceeded the budget.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I came back this time and brought a batch of supplies, which are now stacked at the old dock, and let Lockland accompany you to transport them back in a while, there are enough things in it to hold a luxurious banquet." ”

After hearing this, Linnab knew in his heart, listen to it, "luxury", it seems that the little baron has brought back a lot of good things.

When he was about to go out, Lin Feng said again: "There is one more thing to be done before tomorrow night's banquet, which is to replace those old ones with the new family badges and flags I brought." Lin Feng said as he pointed his finger at the shabby golden rose flag on the flagpole outside the window.

This is also the proper meaning of the question, and each new generation of barons has to go through this process. After Linnab went out, it was only a few moments before he saw the gates of the castle open again, and Linnab and Lochlan drove out with knights and servants in a few carriages.

At the same time, the remaining servants in the castle also took out the new family flags and badges from the carriage that Lin Feng was riding in when he came, and then hung and arranged them one by one. Looking at the busy servants outside, Lin Feng left the study and went back to his room to rest, he also said tiredly.

The news of the return of the new baron Cheng Jue spread in the territory in a blink of an eye, and what was surprising was that the young master who had been a different person in the past seemed to have become not only a fifth-level mage, but also an intermediate pharmacist, what a remarkable achievement!

That's right, when Lin Feng came back, he deliberately wore these two badges on his chest, and there was no shortage of knowledgeable people in the crowd who greeted him, and everyone was shocked, so they spread the news. Of course, this is also what Lin Feng wants to achieve. When the new baron returns, he must always show his strength, and this invisible deterrent is also the best way to calm people's hearts.

You must know that in the small countryside of Nanlin Island, usually whoever has a magic apprentice is enough to make people envious, jealous and hateful, and the magic apprentice can apply to be a free citizen, and becoming a free citizen means a reduction in taxes, which means that you can improve your life very well.

In this world, under the aristocracy there are commoners (that is, often referred to as free people), tenants, and slaves. Civilians are free to choose their own profession and can become merchants, craftsmen, or war workers. At the same time, civilians can also move freely within the territory and enjoy the treatment of ten taxes and one tax.

Tenants can generally only be farmers, except for special occupations, such as fishermen. They generally had to pay between three-tenths and six-tenths of their income as a tax (depending on whether the lord was merciful or not, but the minimum was only three-tenths, which was the custom in the mainland), and they could only live within the land granted by the lord, and were generally not allowed to move freely.

Slaves were generally made up of war losers, some were landless and bankrupt tenants, and of course, there were extreme exceptions of self-selling into slavery. They belonged to the slave owners in everything except the basic right to life.

In the heated discussion of the people, Lin Feng's previous deeds were regarded as trivial matters of youth and frivolity, and to a certain extent, Lin Feng's reputation increased little by little in the hearts of the people. It can be said that Lin Feng successfully "whitewashed" himself, and he didn't have to pay for the mistakes made by his predecessor.

The next day, Lin Feng only walked around Nanlin Town, and then returned to his castle, looking at the castle built by the first baron, under the erosion of more than a hundred years of wind and frost, even the hard granite exterior wall has left spots and traces of time.

The castle is generally used for military purposes, so it is not very comfortable to live in, damp, dark and has a strange musty smell. But it was the center of a family, a symbol of the power of the entire barony. Lin Feng, who had to live inside, thought in his heart that when he had money in the future, he would definitely build a new castle.

The castle's banquet hall was renovated by the Grand Butler, with colorful magic lamps lit one by one, the smell of fireworks and wax in the air was replaced by the scent of roses, the floors were covered with precious fur carpets, and the dining tables were covered with white linen (white linen was rare, and cloth made of white linen was a luxury).

The guests of the banquet had never seen such a formation, standing at the door one by one, but not daring to step on the newly laid fur carpet. Calm and proud, Linnab invited them in, presented them with boots of various types, and told them that this was the first gift from the Baron, and that they could take it with them after the dinner.

The gentlemen were still more reserved, and nodded their heads to accept the kindness of the Baron. The female guests rushed forward to choose the shoes that suited them, you must know that these are all precious brands that Lin Feng bought in Jinyue City, and the styles and colors are the most popular at the moment, how have these women who nested on Nanlin Island seen this.

Lin Feng faintly heard their scramble in the banquet hall, and he couldn't help but feel funny, and a different smile appeared on his face. Seeing him like this, Shui gently patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to lose his temper, and then took Shui Rou to greet the female guests who had changed their shoes.

Seeing this, Lin Feng greeted those gentlemen, and greeted them politely one by one. Lin Feng specially called Jackson, the captain, during the day today, and now he also took this opportunity to introduce him to everyone, although he had not seen the "South Wind", but as soon as he heard that he was the captain of a large armed merchant ship, everyone was a lot more polite to Jackson.

After a while, the butler signaled that the guests had arrived, and Lin Feng motioned to the servants to lead everyone to sit down, and the banquet was about to begin.

As the master, Lin Feng sat alone in the first place, because he was the sole leader of this territory, and even his mother could not usurp his position on such an occasion. Therefore, Shui Wan seemed to sit in the second seat, and his uncle Lin Shan's former guardian sat in the third seat.

The remaining eight hereditary knights and thirty or so servants sat in the third group, while the rest of the lords and stewards of the realm sat in the fourth group, while the ladies sat with their husbands or fathers.
