Nearly 600 people finally settled down, and all 7 adjacent hotels were reserved by them.
This is an extremely extravagant behavior. It is said that after they arrived and booked the rooms in these seven hotels, the entire entertainment area was a sensation. Many enchanting women with heavy makeup came over, trying to calm down the autumn wind.
It's just that he couldn't even get in the door, so he was driven outside.
These women are very charming.
Of course, this is how the elite desert bandits think so.
Due to Lord Kant's order, although they drove away, they felt the restlessness in their hearts, their eyes wanted to cry, and they left the Sarande Desert. They hadn't completely let their little brother relax.
The feeling of being able to relax but being strictly prohibited is really suffocating.
The bigger picture matters.
They know the priority.
At least after coming to the port of Dongjun City, food is absolutely indispensable.
Food was also provided in the hotel, and with Kant's hint, Rolf also chose the more expensive one.
For example, the most common tender grilled river fish is served on a plate, and various ingredients from the Reese Niston River, such as beef, mutton, dog meat and even crocodile meat, are served in piles, and big silver coins fly out one by one. , don't care about the amount of money.
Now Kant is rich and powerful, and the monthly salt trade is worth hundreds of thousands of large silver coins.
Just eat and drink.
It's not worth the money at all!
Rolf is also aware of this, and has no plan to save money.
Since there is no shortage of money, it can be built vigorously, and the entire entertainment area is even more sensational. The owners of these 7 hotels almost did not provide Kant and the others as their ancestors.
As for the dinner alone, more than 300 large silver coins were thrown out.
Serve according to the level of the viscount banquet.
After receiving the bonus, the chefs treated it with 12-point spirit.
But for the hotel owner, just this dinner tonight, the profit can be worth half a year's income on weekdays!
Too rich!
The hotel owners next to them looked at all this with red eyes, and burst into tears in their hearts. If all this happened in their own hotel, it would be like ascending to heaven, but it is a pity that this is all in other people's homes.
Even the management department of the port was alarmed and came to the hotel to check the situation.
It's just not here yet.
Someone from Dongjun City came to explain the situation.
Everyone was terrified and evacuated one after another, even stopping the patrolling of the entertainment area, as if giving up the jurisdiction of this place, allowing it to enter a complete autonomy mode.
However, the gangs that often appeared in the ports also gave warnings, prohibiting them from messing around during this period of time.
Especially Kant and the others cannot be attacked.
If violated.
News came out of Dongjun City that the gang would be wiped out completely, leaving no one behind!
This can be said to be the most thorough lore decree, with a stern tone and a serious attitude, which almost made the gangs in the entire port frightened into silence. Even if they asked someone to ask the backer behind him, they got a similar result.
And even more severe, for fear of catching the plague, he asked to avoid it.
This made Kant and the others very comfortable.
Nothing happens.
As for provocations from officials or gangs, there is none.
They are simply treated as transparent people. Foreign businessmen and guards should have fun and eat, and gangsters should also collect protection fees, but they just don’t get close to the 7 hotels.
Even the flow of people in front of the hotel has been greatly reduced, and I am afraid they will be too late.
Night fell.
The entertainment area in the port is buzzing with people.
Kant had also left that street at this time, and walked on the embankment by the riverside of the port with the 10 Saryon Lion Knights who followed him.
The 200-meter-wide Reese Niston River is a big river.
Sails are laid down on the docks on the shore, where merchant ships and transport ships are moored.
This is still the scenery outside the city wall. Just inside the 5-meter-high city wall is the real Dongjun leading port. Inside is a specially dug deep pit wharf, and there are larger and more merchant ships moored.
According to the records in the college, the Dongjun Ling Port can accommodate 300 merchant ships to berth together.
If it is in autumn and winter.
The water is gentle.
More merchant ships can be accommodated.
A temporary wharf will be opened outside the port, which can accommodate 500 merchant ships.
And this is not the largest port in the Principality of Lions. If you count the port of Lion Heart City, because it is a natural river bend, the river surface width is 500 meters, and the water speed is relatively slow, it is no problem to accommodate 1,000 merchant ships throughout the year.
The Lion Principality is a big grain exporter.
Agriculture in Nanjun Territory is extremely developed.
It can almost be said that the food in Nanjun Ling can not only feed its own people, but can also be exported to feed more countries.
At the very least, among the human nations south of here, there is no place that can match the food production of Nanjun Territory. In addition, they have also been fighting for years and have frictions with each other. They ignore agricultural development and rely heavily on imports.
At the beginning, the Yinpan Kingdom planned the Principality of the Lion for the reason of food.
The era of cold weapons.
Food is the real foundation.
No matter how much gold and silver you have, if there is no food, there will be no population.
And without the population, no matter how strong the military force is, it is nothing but a dream in the mirror, and it cannot last for too long. On this point, the Earth Dynasty has a thorough understanding.
Although this world is backward and almost ignorant, it still has this concept.
Kant strolled forward.
As we approached the port city gate, the number of people gradually increased.
Torches hung on the walls, and many coolies in simple linen clothes were still busy inside and outside the port, loading and unloading goods for merchants, even at night.
Time waits for no one, and these merchant ships will leave the port early the next morning.
Or go to South County Territory.
Or leave and return to your own country.
It was now approaching autumn, and there happened to be a monsoon blowing from the east, allowing them to take advantage of this monsoon to sail upstream on the Rathniston River without using too many oarsmen to squeeze the cargo space.
It is the norm at this time, and it is also the busiest trade gathering of the Lion Principality.
After all, autumn is also the time of harvest.
Kant didn't care.
When he came to the port city gate, he paid the access fee of 11 small silver coins, and then he entered the city wall.
A more prosperous port appeared in front of him, with warehouses everywhere, and the wide streets were full of people. Even at night, there were merchants holding torches and carriages full of goods coming and going.
"It should be on the east side."
Kant pondered for a while.
He had already sensed in his mind, and the positions of the ten Salander riders appeared.
Step forward and walk faster, under the protection of the Sarion Lion Knight, follow the flow of people to the east of the port, where there should be a residential area, which can be regarded as the gathering area of the chamber of commerce resident in the port.
The poor cannot enter the port to live, but can only live in the slums outside.
These people are also a source of labor.
The civilians and caravan guards live in the residential area immediately outside the city walls.
Next to it is the entertainment area, and their task is to work for the entertainment area, or act as warehouse managers in the port inside the city wall, which is a relatively decent job.
As for those foreign businessmen, in order to ensure safety, they will live in the port.
That is the East End.
Many large caravans have their own houses.
If it is a small caravan, you can also buy a house together and divide floors or rooms.
This is common in the ports of the East County Territory. After all, these houses in the East District are not just for living, but also for negotiation or business exchanges, which are also equivalent to the offices or offices of caravans.
The reason why Kant came here is that Berger's office is here.
He could sense it with the aid of the Sarande rider.
Soon came to a house.
Three-story building.
Two torches were lit in front of the door.
There are also 2 strong men wearing cloaks and holding long sticks guarding.
Seeing Kant and his group coming towards him with long swords on their waists, their faces became flustered immediately, and they gave each other a wink, telling one to step back and enter the door, while the other said hello in a deep voice: "Hi, this is Bo Grid Chamber of Commerce."
"Hello, I'm looking for Borg, the current manager of the Borg Chamber of Commerce."
Kant smiled and stretched out his hand to indicate that there was no malice.
The burly man breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still nodded in return, and replied in a calm tone: "Mr. Bogue has already rested. Our Bogle Chamber of Commerce will not be in reception at 7 o'clock every night. Please understand. If possible, please come back at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"7 o'clock." Kant chuckled, "No, I want to see him right now."
"this…"
The strong man suddenly tensed up.
But just inside the door, the strong man who went in brought out an old man.
Whispered a few words in his ear, and signaled the two strong gatekeepers to return to their posts, but came over in person, bent slightly and stroked his chest to salute: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Kant? "
"Well, I am." Kant nodded.
"It was a real honor to meet you."
The old man bowed his head: "I am Mr. Borg's steward, the financial officer of the Borg Chamber of Commerce. I am very honored to hear the news of your arrival. At the same time, Mr. Borg asked me to welcome you with the most solemn etiquette."
Kant asked, "Where's Borg?"
"Mr. Borg is preparing. He is going to attend the banquet of the governor of the port at 9 o'clock tonight."
The old housekeeper said very considerately: "Mr. Kant, come in with me. Mr. Bogg has entrusted me to prepare a room for you. If you don't mind, you can rest first. Mr. Bogg will organize a banquet at noon tomorrow. Welcome to the banquet."
"Then go in."
Kant chuckled lightly: "Borg, you are doing well."
"Of course, Mr. Kant, you may not understand that just this month, Mr. Borg has won the five-year right to use three piers in the port, and the fleet of the Borg Chamber of Commerce has increased to five."
The old housekeeper said as if reminding him: "The current Mr. Borg is no longer the bankrupt businessman he was back then."
"Oh, of course."
Kant nodded, smiled and said, "I see."
