This is Border Town... No, no Winter City?
Itis walked down the gangway and looked at the busy and orderly scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Although she had made all kinds of speculations before she arrived, she found that she had underestimated that the area of the city's dock area was more than three times larger than that of the Wangdu. While it was filled with unloading sailboats and cement ships, the ore and coal placed on the yard were piled into a small hill.
On the other side, a dozen paddle steamers were lined up in a column and slowly leaving the pier, and there were many people standing next to the embankment to see him off.
All the people on the boat were wearing uniforms and stood straight along the sides of the ship. Even Itis could feel that the expression in the past would only appear on the knights who returned from victory, and these people were undoubtedly not nobles.
The center of the dock is a gathering place for merchants, refugees and migrants, mainly composed of various sailboats. After people get off the boat, they are separated by a group of men in black and are asked to line up in a long line to pass the inspection level.
The entire dock area alone has no less than a thousand people, and such a prosperous scene is pale in comparison.
The pier has actually grown longer, Victor was shocked, "Does His Majesty plan to turn the entire river bank into a dock area?"
again?Itis noticed the other person's words.
At least the pier here was not so wide last autumn. He spread his hands, of course, not so many people.
What are those levels doing, are taxes?
There is no such thing as taxes for entering the city. Only when the goods are sold will you have to be paid. Victor explained enthusiastically that, and the city cannot set up stalls at will, and all sales must be carried out in the convenience market in the square area.Those men in black are equivalent to patrol teams in other cities. They set up levels to register their identities and eliminate evil epidemics.
Not blackmail and blackmail?Itis winked at his younger brother, who nodded and took out his pocket to prepare for some money.
No no, Miss Conrad, I mean the equivalent of patrol, the gem merchant waved his hands with a smile, In fact, they never charge extra fees I know it is hard to believe, but it is, and I was just as surprised as you when I first passed the inspection.Come with me, the businessman's access is much faster.
As he said, after the man in black verified Victor's identity, he let the group pass the level, without asking for a single bronze eagle.
Next, I have to find a clean and comfortable hotel and go to the convenience market. He turned around and said, What are your plans, Miss Conrad?If I'm not familiar with this place, I can serve you.
Thank you, Itis pretended to be grateful, pinched the corner of his skirt and bent his knees slightly, "You helped me a lot along the way, that's enough... I'll go to the town hall for help, where I should be able to find news about my relatives."
It's just a simple task... It's my honor to be able to meet a noble lady like you, so please don't be polite.
After shirking it, Itise finally got rid of Victor's entanglement. In the end, the merchant kept waving at her when he said goodbye, saying that if he was in trouble, he could go to the Holy Mountain Hotel to find him at any time.
Sister, you are really popular, Cole smacked his lips.
Um?Itis glanced at him, what should you call me?
Uh...ah...ahem, Ms. Itise, the second son of the Duke couldn't help but tremble. Will we also go find a hotel to stay?
No, go to the castle to submit the documents first. She said without hesitation and contact Your Majesty as soon as possible.
But we have no heads... Cole whispered.
Then, press the headless one, Itis shrugged, remember the things I told?Showing sincerity, the Kant family's allegiance is not only represented by two heads.
And even if there is, it will probably be stinking. Holding two human-shaped heads to His Majesty is not a good idea. She thought to herself that everything has deviated from the predefined trajectory since the other party left the capital.
What to do depends on the specific situation.Ultimately, the negotiator's ability is the key factor in determining the outcome of the negotiation.
*******************
Your Majesty, a group of messengers from the North are waiting outside the castle, hoping to get your reception. The guard Sean walked into the office to report, and the leader claimed to be the second son of Calvin Kant, the current Duke of the North, and Cole Kant.Lord Barov has checked the certificates and the family emblem, and it should not be forged.
Northland?Roland unexpectedly put down the design drawings in his hand. Isn’t that Tifeko’s territory? Do they have any intention of coming?
Yes, the guard showed excitement on his face, Sir Cole said that the Duke was willing to be loyal to you.
He frowned, this is really a troublesome thing.
In essence, he did not need the allegiance of a feudal lord, which not only did not help the development of the kingdom, but would also have an impact on the current centralized system.
Roland hopes that the other party will be lucky enough to hide in the territory and wait for him to sweep over.
Only by completely crushing the old forces can centralization be successfully established.
However, it is not possible to see each other. The other party sent an envoy to make peace, but was deliberately left aside. If it was spread, it might make other nobles lose their luck and decide to join forces to fight.
This is not a military problem. He is mainly worried that Roland, the people who will affect the eastern and northern regions, has regarded the people of the kingdom as his own wealth and naturally wants to keep as much population as possible.
After thinking for a while, he nodded slowly and said, "Take them to the living room, and call Barov with you."
yes.Sean responded excitedly.
Judging from the expressions of the personal guards, I probably thought that if this happened, the entire kingdom would be left with the east side and not ruled by him... Roland thought to himself, but sometimes things were not as simple as they seemed.
And at the same time, he also made a decision.
In any case, the principle of revoking the rights of the nobles in fiefdom is never shaken. This must be accurately expressed to all nobles to show their determination to reform the new policy.
If the rebel nobles dare to attack the people, they will definitely pay a heavy price for it.
……
When he walked into the living room, there were only two people sitting at one of the long tables of the messenger group. One of them should be the second son of the duke, Colecond, and the other made Roland's eyes lit up slightly. He was a beautiful woman. He seemed to be Sir Cole's deputy, but his aura was more eye-catching than the Jazz himself.
Of course, in terms of appearance alone, witches are the most dazzling pearl, so Roland didn't care too much. After all, the assistants of this era are likely to play roles such as lovers or maids.
Dear Your Majesty, I will hello to you on behalf of my father. Cole stood up respectfully and saluted, and soon expressed his intention. The Duke of North has a gift to give to you.
