The farmer sold the hand-woven cloth at home and wandered aimlessly on the street.

He had hoped to make some money to subsidize his family, but now he can't even recover the cost.

The hundred copper coins in his hand seem to be a lot, but what should he do after spending them all?

In fact, the price of grain in the market has risen sharply in the past two years, but this has nothing to do with farmers.

The nobles directly collected the grain, and the rest had to support their families, which was barely enough.

Some scattered handmade products could have slightly subsidized the family, but now this road is almost blocked.

And there seem to be more vendors on the street.

The number of various commodities has increased by almost half compared to before.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

The farmer's experience is not an isolated case, and there are actually more people who are worse off than him.

Grain is valuable, and the nobles will certainly squeeze it desperately.

The closed small peasant economy lacks the ability to resist risks, and now it is already shaky under the impact of foreign gold and silver commodities.

What's more terrifying is that no one has realized this yet.

...

In the territory of the Connor family, Viscount Barin arrived with a batch of goods.

For him, the dumping of goods is not a nightmare, but a blessing from God... No, it should be said that it is the blessing of the Duke.

As a viscount of the Northern Principality, his status naturally rises with the status of the country.

Moreover, he is entrusted with the Duke's secret mission and can always get some preferential treatment.

On the other hand, as the son of a powerful earl, he can get channels and preferential treatment from the Holy Cross Kingdom.

This is the case of eating both ends.

Just like just passing the border, the army of the Northern Principality turned a blind eye and ignored this caravan that was obviously smuggling.

On the Holy Cross Kingdom side, the private army of the Connor family came directly to meet.

Here, the king's orders are not as effective as the orders of Earl Connor.

There is no need to hide at all. Viscount Barin swaggered across the border, which was arrogant.

And in the Connor family, he is not the young master who was not valued in the past.

The Viscount of the Northern Principality, the new noble trusted by the Duke, and the big businessman with a lot of rare goods, no matter which identity, he can make people look at him with admiration.

His elder brother, Sir Collison, was jealous to the point of madness, but he dared not mock him in person.

And the one who greeted him was Knight Kane, who had followed his father for many years.

Everything made him enjoy it very much.

It’s not far from the border to the Connor family’s territory.

But you always have to be a little vigilant before going home.

Even Knight Kane breathed a sigh of relief and only got close to each other after it was safe.

As a noble son, Viscount Barin can’t be considered unlearned, but it was only when he was with Derek that his ability ushered in a transformation.

Including winning people’s hearts, this basic skill.

Having seen His Excellency the Duke being courteous to the wise and humble, the new nobles under his command also have to pretend to be like this.

Viscount Barin learned very well. As soon as Knight Kane approached, he stretched out his head in advance, leaned close to the other's ear, and whispered: "Uncle Kane, this is the gift I brought you, and the goods you wanted, which will be taken away in advance later."

Then came a beautifully decorated box.

Knight Kane smiled and narrowed his eyes. In the past year and a half, with the return of the young master, the whole earldom has had a much better life.

He has received similar gifts several times. At first, he was uneasy, fearing that he would be forced to stand in line.

But after so many times, it has become a habit and he doesn't care at all.

Stand in line? At most, stand on the side of the young master. As for the earl's legitimate son, who knows him?

"Thank you, young master." Knight Kane called him very discerningly, revealing a sense of intimacy.

In front of Viscount Barin, he opened the box directly.

This was a show of being polite. Balin really didn't feel rude, but smiled even happier.

The box was wrapped in yellow satin. The thin gauze on the top was lifted to reveal the gold and silver gilded pistol inside.

The overall silver pistol was decorated with golden patterns, and its overall artistic value was greater than its use value.

It was also equipped with a batch of special bullets.

This was a high-end product handmade by a master craftsman, and the price was ridiculously high.

The same pistol, this one was more beautiful than a hundred.

But looking at Knight Kane's expression, Balin felt that it was worth the money.

"This... this is too expensive."

Knight Kane really felt at a loss. Although he had received gifts many times, the value of this time was particularly high.

Although he didn't know how much this gorgeous pistol was worth, it was obvious that it was not a cheap product.

With his annual pension and fief income, he didn't know if he could buy this pistol even if he didn't eat or drink for a year.

So is this pistol more powerful?

No, its power may be weaker than the standard products.

Its only feature may be that it is more expensive.

But what is wanted is expensiveness.

Viscount Barin was very satisfied with Knight Kane's attitude.

Although it seems that guns have broken the monopoly of knights and should be resisted by more people.

However, human beings are all really good at guns.

Dislike is dislike, but it does not affect the knights' pursuit of guns.

As long as it can make them stronger, most knights will not refuse.

In the final analysis, they are nobles first, and then knights.

Coupled with the legendary experience of the Northern Principality, the guns produced in the Northern Principality naturally have a large number of followers.

Knight Kane is one of them. It is not shameful to learn from the strong.

Even the goods he asked Viscount Barin to bring were ten rifles.

As standard equipment, the Zero Rifle is also the most advanced weapon in the entire continent, so it is naturally very popular.

Stable structure, low accident rate, moderate price, and large number of possessions make it highly sought after.

It is also easy to buy the Zero Rifle on the market.

Moreover, with Viscount Barin's network of relationships, it is not difficult to get a batch of rifles.

If ordinary goods are dumping, then high-end goods such as firearms are dumping plus control.

By controlling the source of equipment, many people can naturally change their inclinations.

For example, what Viscount Barin is doing now.

He pointed directly at the goods behind him and said to Knight Kane: "This is a gift. I purchased 500 rifles and two infantry guns for my father. It is still easy to get a few gifts. You can accept it with confidence."

"Really?" Although Baron Kane didn't look like a gift at all, he really liked this gift in his heart, so he subconsciously accepted this statement.

"Of course, accept it quickly, it would be bad if someone saw it later."

At Viscount Barin's urging, Knight Kane reluctantly accepted the gift.

Even though he was aware that this might not be a gift.
