Broad World

The next afternoon, Jasuo brought a team of carriages to the boat in the dock area. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Henry took him to the cabin. After opening a wooden barrel with a crowbar, Jasuo gently grabbed a handful of salt and twisted it with his hands. "There's no sand here! It's all high-quality table salt!" He looked at Henry in surprise and said. Henry was a little proud. There was actually some sand in the coarse salt produced at the beginning. Later, he made some filters with fine vines, and after filtering it, it was basically invisible. He smiled and said: "Of course my friend, these are all treated with a special process. I think this can make our brand name as soon as possible and make sales easier." Jasuo put down the salt in his hand and looked like an idiot I watched Henry for a while. "I have no objection to selling these as high-quality products to nobles and merchants at higher prices, but with the increase in production, the sales target must be converted to civilians. If you don't mix sand, it will not only make you and me lose a lot of money, but also It will also arouse the resentment of the upper class because they eat the same salt as the untouchables. Normally, the salt sold to ordinary people must be mixed with at least 10% or more sand.”

Henry was stunned by the words of the leader of the business alliance. He stared and asked, "You mean to say that my filtration process was for nothing?" Jasuo waved his hand. "No, my dear friend, your craftsmanship is very good and it can greatly enhance our reputation. What I mean is that you can produce about 30 tons of high-quality goods every month, and the rest are better than ordinary ones." Henry sighed. "Okay, I'll provide you with raw coarse salt. As for the sand mixing, I'll leave it to you." Jasuo smiled and gave him a hug. "Thank you for understanding my friend. You must know that we live in a civilized and orderly place. Sometimes it is good for everyone to abide by some unspoken rules. I will divide these into two and sell them locally. Soon the wealthy people in these two places will only eat our salt. In addition, you'd better prepare yourself. After this morning's discussion, the council has decided to confer you the Earl of Angomey. I think the day after tomorrow they will I will send someone to notify you." Henry was very happy when he heard that his set goal had been achieved, and he shook Jasuo's hand. "Thank you again for your help. I think our relationship will be closer in the future." After the two chatted for a while, Jasuo began to have the wooden barrels carried to the carriage and transported to the warehouse.

The council's work efficiency was much higher than Jasuo's estimate, and a team of Flame Fist mercenaries arrived on the ship in just one day. The leading captain bowed slightly to Henry. "Hello, sir, after the vote of the parliament and the four grand dukes, it has been decided to confer you the title of Earl of Angomey. If you don't have any important business now, it is best for me to go to the parliament." Henry took out a small bag of gold coins and handed it to the team leader. "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now." The captain took the bag and found that there were at least a hundred gold coins in it, which was the sum of his salary for several years. "Please follow me, the carriage of the parliament is already waiting for you over there." After receiving a large sum of money, he immediately became more courteous. Sitting in the carriage, Henry watched the retreat of the buildings on both sides of the road, and he arrived at the gate of the parliament ten minutes later. Looking at this council that was once disbanded by Bode'an and then rebuilt, he sighed with emotion at the tenacity of the merchants.

After arriving at the parliament hall, Henry found that many people were waiting for him here, and a tall man came over. "Hello Earl Angomey, I am Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield. The main purpose of inviting you here this time is to confirm the relationship between your territory and the parliament. I will read your responsibilities and obligations aloud later, If you have any objections, you can bring them up for discussion." Henry gently shook hands with the Grand Duke. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Grand Duke, so please start reading now." Anta Yindun turned around and came to the center of the parliament, picked up a manuscript and began to read: "My Grand Duke Anta Silver of Baldur's Gate The shield is here to announce the decision of the parliament. The canonization of Henry Angomey (with the territory as the surname) is effective immediately. The Earl of Angomey and his territory must undertake the following obligations: first, the right to call at the port. Merchant ships in all areas under Baldur's Gate shall not charge higher docking fees than the Baldur's Gate standard. The second is the right to free trade. The ships and goods of Baldur's Gate shall not be detained without reason, and it is not allowed to charge too much higher than the regional The average business tax. Finally, when the Baldur's Gate area suffered from foreign invasion, it must be rescued. Do you have any objections to the Earl of Angomey?"

After listening to it, Henry found that these terms basically allowed him to join the Baldur's Gate economic and trade system, and to give a certain degree of support when Baldur's Gate was attacked. There are no excessive demands, nor does it interfere with the control of the territory. He stood up and bowed to everyone and said: "I fully agree and abide by the above terms and have no objection." Anta Yindun walked over with the manuscript. "Since there is no problem, please sign the treaty, Earl. In addition, please make your own family crest as soon as possible, and we will report him to all regions." Henry said to the Duke after signing the treaty: " I will finish the production and send it over before tonight. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Anta Silver Shield smiled at him. "Tonight, I hope to invite you to my mansion for dinner. I hope you will appreciate it. As for the badge, just bring it along the way."

Henry felt that the Grand Duke had something to say, but he still agreed. After all, it would not be good for him to offend a powerful Grand Duke for no reason. On the way back he bought a lot of spirits and dishes to take back to the ship. Once on board he broke the news to everyone and announced the start of the celebration. Hawk happily drank three glasses in a row and blushed and said to Henry: "Your Excellency, following you is the most correct decision I have made in my life." Henry took a sip of the juice. "Don't excite my friend, I will assign all the ships in the territory to you in the future. I will make you a knight." The old captain laughed. "Praise you, my generous lord." At this time, Cagan also came over to Henry with a glass of wine and said, "Haha, our little Henry has finally become a big man, and we must celebrate it tonight." Henry smiled Said to the dwarf: "At night? I'm afraid that won't work. I have to design my own noble badge right away, and Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield invited me to have dinner with him at night."

"Oh, that's really disappointing. But you just got an invitation from a grand duke as soon as you became a nobleman. This is great news, which shows that he is optimistic about your potential." Hawke said to Henry. Henry also nodded. "Yes, but when he invited me, he seemed to have something to say to me alone, but there were too many people and he didn't say it directly." The old captain patted him on the shoulder. "Generally, a nobleman invites him to a dinner party in his mansion because he wants to form an alliance with you. You need to consider the stakes yourself. Well, let's design your badge first. This is a symbol of a nobleman. Don't be careless." Henry drank in one sip After finishing all the juice, he turned and went back to his room.

Sitting at the table, he took out a piece of paper and began to draw a brown bear on it, which is Ares, and then drew Louise, the pixie, on top of the bear. Then use the shape of a shield to encircle the two of them inside, and finally fill the empty space with green. Picking up the drawing and looking at it, Henry is quite satisfied with the badge he designed. He was going to build one himself and enchant it after returning to the territory. As for this blueprint, he would hand it over to the Grand Duke for the record at night. The happy time always passed quickly, and in the evening, he arrived at the Anta Silver Shield mansion in the northwest of the city as scheduled. It was a large villa with reading walls and towers, and expensive marble formed the main body of this villa. After coming to the door and reporting his identity to the servant, the butler greeted him and took him to the living room. After sitting on the sofa for a while, Anta Yindun walked out with two ladies and a little girl smiling, Henry stood up and the two hugged each other. Then he said publicly: "Count Angomey welcomes you. Now let me introduce my family members. This is my wife Brila."

"Hello, beautiful Grand Duchess." Henry said with a hand kiss.

The Duchess lifted her skirt with a smile. "Thank you very much for your compliment, handsome count."

"This beautiful girl is my younger sister Shikodi." The Grand Duke continued to introduce.

Henry gave another hand kiss and said, "It's a pleasure meeting you, beautiful lady."

The girl straightened her body a little nervously. "I'm also very glad to meet you, Earl Angomey." Henry also noticed Shikodi's nervousness and thought that Anta Yindun didn't often take her out to various banquets.

"The last one is my daughter Shi Ji, she is my angel." The Grand Duke introduced grandly

When Henry heard this name, he thought of the somewhat rebellious girl in the game. It turned out that she was still very good when she was a child. Perhaps it was the strict aristocratic education that made her rebellious. He knelt down and said to little Shi Ji, "Hello, beautiful little angel, my name is Henry."

The girl hid behind her parents without showing any face to Henry, only showing half of her face and watching him warily. Henry stood up helplessly and said to the Grand Duke: "It seems that your daughter doesn't like me very much. Fortunately, I thought I was a heartthrob." Anta Yindun laughed and hugged her daughter. "It seems that our handsome Earl has also lost his female name. My lovely little angel will definitely grow up to be a steady lady. Alright, dear Earl, let's start dinner. Those messy things in the Parliament today are terrible. It cost me a lot of energy and now I'm hungry enough to eat a cow."
