Bair and his party took down a remote tavern in the city, firstly because there were more people of his own, and secondly, because he didn't like idle merchants to spread his affairs everywhere.

So much so that the tavern's handyman and the owner were called out of the tavern by Bayer after the food was served, so as not to have too many people.

And the cost of a noon charter for the entire tavern was only five or six silver coins that didn't hurt.

Byer used a knife and fork to cut the flesh of the toothfish, and he unexpectedly liked this strange predator, which tasted like both cod and perch.

During this time, he has been talking about it, and he can be said to be a dimensionality reduction blow to Malperi, and it will not take long to find out his details and the situation of the city.

Let's start with Le Angulang, where there is no real town in the entire dukedom except for the great city of Le Angulang.

Due to the privileged location of the cities of Le Anguillan and Cologne, all the places in Le Anguillan were not too far from them.

There is no place to compete with these two for resources.

However, it seems that every village has a weekly market because the peasants find it too troublesome to walk into the city to buy groceries.

And the people's livelihood here...

Most of the peasants were haunted by the beastmen, while the people of the city were more accustomed to chasing the sea and commerce, and they were all adventurers.

It also makes the place of Leangulang, where honest mud legs and people full of gambling nerves are mixed together, and they don't like each other.

People in the city say that the countrymen spend so much time worrying about the next year's harvest that they forget about life.

The countrymen will sarcastically say that the city people have never really done anything down-to-earth, including taking responsibility for their own food.

Duke Tobel, who was supposed to coordinate in such a situation, had been running away from the sea for personal reasons, and the duke was a coward in the eyes of the city people and a hero in the eyes of the peasants of the village.

The Duke built a series of watchtowers at the edge of the treacherous forest, so much so that his castle, Gragar, one of the largest in Bretonnia, stood at the edge of the forest, protecting the nearby village.

But the duke, who had seen something on the sea, had been reluctant to approach the coast since then, and had not been near the city for several years, and the merchants had grown in this way.

Recently, the ambition of the merchants has grown, not only to put a emblem on the iconic lighthouse, but also to several violent confrontations between city people and peasants.

In contrast, the Duke still escapes the harbor...

And he, who told Baier so many things, was a promising merchant in the city of Le Angulang.

Malperi was not really a local, but a gold prospector who made his fortune here, which brought his perspective closer to neutrality.

Until recently, he ran a shop selling wine and brandy and personally supervised some of the wines.

His shop only sells high-end drinks for customers to take home to drink, and Malpery insists that he never runs a pub.

Mr. Malperry's customers were probably wealthy, and a few years ago he began selling other goods that might appeal to the wealthy.

He was doing well in this business, and he began to want to go one step further and gain access to the wealth and privilege of the Lighthouse brethren.

Only last month, he sold his shop and invested the proceeds in trading goods, which he hoped would make a good profit.

A full five hundred gold coins is an astronomical amount for a commoner, if he is in the empire, it is enough for him to find a good candidate for the emperor, and then charter the entire manor to spend his old age in peace.

However, he is only 30 years old, and he is just starting out as a businessman.

Now Bayer actually wanted to have a business-savvy person intervene in the merchant guild of Long Lake, they are really rich, just the luxury goods of their "filial piety" to the lord during this time, Bayer can exchange it for enough money to buy two sets of plate armor.

However, Byer decided to keep Malperi by his side first to test his loyalty and ability, and Bayer also needed someone to solve the ship's problems for him.

This time he wants to build a real warship, relying on the shipyard in Le Angurang, which should be able to install real guns.

After thinking about it, he felt that he needed real sea dominance, even if his harbor was a lake, he might encounter an enemy from the sea in the future.

At the very least, he had to be able to maintain the basic water trade routes, and he needed a capable man to run around for him, negotiate around Le Angulang, and buy the best warships as his flagship at the cheapest price.

However, Bayer did not have too many extravagant hopes, and his savings were at most to buy a single sail ship, just to install two cannons.

Since he repaired the city wall, the income in the territory has actually turned into a positive income, and during this time, Baier has also saved almost two hundred gold coins.

It was only about two hundred, after all, the tax revenue of Changhu was only 150 a month, which was barely enough to support the training of the peasants.

Sendero's output is all commercial taxes, and after the dwarves no longer buy ironwood, they earn about fifty gold coins a month.

The mercenary business provides a monthly allowance of 40 gold, taxes of 200 gold a month, troop maintenance and a monthly allowance of 150, as well as daily expenses for the maintenance of the castle.

The remaining 200 gold coins are already thrifty!

The Greenskin War brought so many deaths to Long Lake that it was Byer's own outsiders to repair and reinforce the walls.

Despite the urgency, two hundred gold coins should be enough to barely buy a small warship.

The daunting task was given to Malperi, who gave him a deposit of 20 gold coins, and Bair drew him a pie with great affection, and began to tell him how much privilege he would receive among the merchants of Long Lake as his spokesman.

Malperi was dazed by the flickering, and left the tavern happily, not forgetting to thank the lord again and again.
