Great Nobleman

Early the next morning.

When Brand was eating breakfast alone.

The bracelet placed aside suddenly flashed with a slight magical light.

——The venue of the noble meeting is now open to the public.

Seeing this, Brand slowly took it over and put it on.

Spread out a trace of mental energy and penetrate it, activating the rune array inside.

Immediately afterwards, part of his consciousness also came to a seat in the aristocratic conference hall of the imperial capital.

After looking at Mr. Holland who was "online" in the seat next to him.

Brand greeted casually:

"Good morning, sir. Have you eaten?"

Hearing this, Mr. Holland nodded, and then responded:

"I've already eaten. I'm resting on the castle terrace now."

Saying this, he glanced around and said hello to several friends who appeared one after another.

Mr. Holland turned to Brand and asked:

“How is the repair of your Chenhua Port going?

Have the arrangements for keeping out the cold been completed?

In two days, I will be ready to go.

Yersin and Lorea will be there too.

We don’t want to wear cotton-padded jackets when we go out every day. "

Hearing this question, several other big men nearby who had just come online also looked over curiously.

Brand responded aloud:

“We are now in the final stages and will be officially launched in a few days.

When the investment promotion activities officially start.

Chenhua Harbor and even the entire Fanhua Bay will become warmer. "

Hearing this, Madeline, who had just come online, was a little curious and said:

“Not long ago, I heard a citizen of Chenhua Port who was passing by transporting supplies say:

Are you planning to celebrate together at that time?

if it is like this.

As a neighbor, I will bring people over to watch the ceremony. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Shalan, who came online a little late, said with some confusion:

"Watching the ceremony? Is something good going to happen?"

Madeline explained:

"Mr. Brand is about to launch the cold-repelling measures in Morning Flower Harbor, saying that the entire Blossom Bay will become warmer."

Shalan asked curiously:

"I've heard about this, but has Mr. Brand really arranged such a large-scale means to keep out the cold in the entire Fanhua Bay?"

Brand nodded and said:

“Only big and not small.

In our calculations, the entire coastal area of ​​Fanhua Bay will be covered by this method.

Locations further afield are also affected.

This effect will gradually decay with distance. "

After hearing Brand's explanation, everyone couldn't help but begin to imagine the scene described by Brand.

——The power originating from the small island in the center of the bay spreads to all sides, dispelling the severe cold in the huge bay and around the bay.

Such a scenario seems okay at first glance.

But if you think about it carefully.

This method is actually more about dispelling the cold in the ocean range.

——The Morning Flower Port on the edge of the bay is just an incidental thing!

Or:

Brand really just wants to get rid of the cold surrounding his castle.

And the Morning Flower Port, which is right around the castle...

——Is that a place blessed by Lord Brand?

Think of this.

They couldn't help but feel that Brand's behavior was a bit extravagant.

But it can be considered a good thing that is consistent with the status of a lord!

But at this moment, Mr. Romien suddenly asked:

"By the way Brand, how much do you plan to charge for this kind of cold-repelling method in Chenhua Port?"

As soon as these words came out, he was stunned for a moment.

All the beautiful imaginations are shattered!

Immediately afterwards, they looked at Mr. Romien in surprise:

Why are you so willing to pay? ?

Seeing this reaction from everyone.

Lord Romine sighed.

Then he helplessly spread his hands and explained:

“You didn’t go to Port Royal to lease the land, so maybe you don’t know.

You also have to pay to enjoy Port Royal's cooling off.

Although the mages of the empire have been studying it for a long time.

But at least judging from the current situation, large-scale means of getting rid of cold will still cost a lot of money every day.

With the precedent of Port Royal, Brand will certainly not remain indifferent.

According to the Imperial Arms Department and the Court Mage Corps:

As the master of the port, His Majesty the Emperor will bear the bulk of the costs.

But the remaining part must also be shared equally among all users of the port.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor has also formulated a series of business support and reduction measures.

For example, in the first half year after the port is open, this fee will be waived directly.

After half a year, you will enjoy different levels of fee discounts based on the amount of tax paid. "

After explaining this, Master Romine turned to Brand:

"Brand did not specifically explain this matter before.

But I think it’s because the measures to keep out the cold haven’t been completed yet, the cost is hard to estimate, and Chenhua Port doesn’t have a lot of investment opportunities, right? "

After hearing this, everyone was still a little unhappy, but they didn't say much.

After thinking for a short time, Mr. Holland first spoke up:

“You can bring this matter up when it comes to Chenhua Port’s next investment promotion matters.

It would be best to have a relatively complete set of rules that promote development like His Majesty the Emperor did. "

Mr. Romien answered:

“But you have to think carefully about the specific costs.

Although the cost must be referenced, it cannot be completely referenced.

Although the scope of your method is larger, the cost should also be higher.

But after all, there is the situation in Port Royal as a reference.

If the cost is too high, maritime trade may have little impact in its early stages.

But in the long run, negative impacts are almost inevitable. "

I heard the words of some great masters.

Brand continued to eat breakfast.

On the other hand, he also used his thoughts and explained with disdain in the noble conference hall:

"What are you thinking about?

I have no idea how Port Royal keeps the cold away.

However, the cost of our method is quite high.

Not to mention that the principles of all this are very profound. Sister Celine and I, the two top rune magic circle masters, have been working on this for several months.

The value of the materials we consume is completely astronomical.

And many of these materials come from the same masters of mage professional disciplines as us.

Even if it is to build an artifact, it will not be much higher than the cost of our method!

If you really want to calculate it based on cost.

Then there would be no need to operate Chenhua Port, and everyone would have to work in vain every day. "

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but have an unpleasant thought flashing through their hearts!

——Brand, this stingy guy, won’t want to cheat money again! ?

When several big men couldn't help but want to speak loudly and correct Brand's thoughts.

But Brand changed the subject, shook his head and said:

“So, you don’t have to worry about me charging a high price based on cost.

Unlike Port Royal, Morning Flower Port will not have this fee.

This method of repelling the cold is the blessing given to the entire Blossom Bay by me, the lord.

You just got a little bit of light.

When doing business in Chenhua Port, you only need to abide by the rules we set and pay rent and taxes in full and on time.

Don't worry about anything else. "
