Chapter 102 Geram

Just as Richard was about to organize a caravan and go to Duke Jonathan to obtain the trade.

In the consul's residence in Wright City, the housekeeper Savile pointed to a thick stack of books and said to the consul Geram: "We have increased the sales price of salt, which has caused many lords to rebound."

"What do Viscount Rommen say?"

"Virgin Romen said that at most, we will raise the price by one year? If this is the case next year, he will have to find a way to buy salt by himself."

The Geda Province is a province directly under the central government, but most of the land is owned by hereditary nobles.

The only ones directly managed by the royal family were Wright Fortress, Black River Fort, Grant Knights Academy and other castle fortresses.

The province of Geda is divided into five counties, namely Heihe County, Wright County, Canyon County, Brena County and Romon County.

There are still large areas of undeveloped open spaces in the northeast of the province, which are planned to be enfeoffed to the new hereditary nobles.

Among the five counties in the Geda Province, Romon County has the most powerful nobles, and it is almost an independent kingdom in the Geda Province.

Eighty percent of the land in this county is the fiefdom of Viscount Romen. The provincial consul's decree would be almost impossible to implement without Viscount Romen's consent.

Viscount Romen's influence in the local area was far greater than that of people like Jeram.

The reason why Viscount Romen is so powerful is directly related to the war in the Kingdom of Grant that year.

When the Kingdom of Grant defeated the orcs, the Romon family made great contributions.

The first Viscount Romen was a ninth-level epic knight with a combat power that was comparable to the legendary warrior.

He once defeated the Orc Legend alone in front of the two armies. He also led a group of surprise soldiers alone and cooperated with Marshal Brena to defeat the Orcs in the decisive battle.

Therefore, after the war, the Roman family's fiefdom was particularly large, with a total of 19,000 square kilometers, almost equivalent to the area of ​​an earl's corpse.

If it weren't for the fact that Viscount Romen had a bad relationship with coach Brena and had been suppressed by Brena for several years, he would have been promoted to earl in the war and become a great nobleman in the Kingdom of Grant.

There were more than thirty barons and nobles in the province of Gedda, and Viscount Romen was their spiritual leader in the noble parliament.

If he jumped out to cause trouble and opposed the provincial consul. There would be some political turmoil in Nolan, and the provincial consul could be replaced. At this critical moment, the Horan family was unwilling to provoke such people.

After listening to the report of the housekeeper Savile, Geram sighed: "It seems that Viscount Romen is a smart man and has heard some rumors from the king."

Saville agrees with Geram's analysis very much. Although he is just Geram's housekeeper, he is actually a member of the Horan family.

In terms of kinship, Savile or Geram's distant cousin.

His real work was not only a housekeeper, but also responsible for communication, intelligence, wealth accumulation, strategy and other work for Geram. Mrs. Holland, who directly obeyed the capital, was almost equal to Geram in status.

"Although the Romon family was suppressed by Duke Brena, they have been in the capital for a hundred years. I guess he heard the news that the king wanted to change his heirs."

"Do you think Viscount Romen is likely to support Prince Felix?"

"Unless we give conditions that others cannot give, such as allowing the Romon family to gain more territory, and elevate them to the earls and give the Romon family a higher political status, the Romon family will not publicly support any prince."

Geram nodded and said, "I agree with this point. When it comes to the position of the Romon family, it is only one step away from the great nobles. There is really no need to support the prince easily and take sides in politics. By the way, we have let the price of salt increase, are there any nobles strongly opposed it?"

Saville nodded and said, "There are still some, especially Baron Richard of the Haaland family. I heard some rumors. Richard was preparing to form a caravan, buy salt from Duke Jonathan, and completely bypass us."

"Where did you hear the news? Haaland's territory is relatively closed and does not like outsiders to enter. Their family's intelligence is rare."

"If Richard wants to form a caravan, he must have a guide who is familiar with the road. The guide he came to Heihe Castle to look for was just the one we installed."

"Your mind is indeed meticulous. As early as six years ago, when I came to the province of Gedda, I had installed many people in the caravan leading trade with Duke Jonathan. Now Richard wants to bypass us, but the people who installed in advance have played a role."

"Richae is the first person who has this idea. If he makes money, I'm afraid the hereditary nobles in the Geda Province will connect. Everyone will follow suit. What should we do? You are the leader, and now it's time to make up your mind."

"The Haaland family has many talents and is likely to become the pillars of guarding the frontier. I didn't intend to offend such a family. But Prince Felix needed a lot of gold coins to sit in that position.

Our Holland family is from a humble family, and compared with the queen's children, we have already lost at the starting line.

Only by using a lot of money to buy, build momentum, and cultivate party members can we compete with the great prince Chris.

The monopoly of salt is about us. I will not let him live a good life if anyone dares to touch this. I send a message to Simon, asking him to find reliable people from the king's capital to do things cleanly."

The Haaland family is a new nobleman and is not very well-informed, especially the news about the upper palace of the royal capital, which they had no idea.

If he had learned the detailed information, Richard might have endured it like Viscount Romon, and would have endured it for a year and not get involved in the disputes in the capital.

But he didn't know anything.

Just as Richard was ready, he organized a caravan and had just left Fort William.

A letter was delivered to Simon.

Simon was the illegitimate son of Count Wimble.

The Earl Wimble family has elf blood. The ancestors of this family are famous legendary elves, Sun Chaser Kulufen Wimble.

This legendary elf is very powerful. Not only has he shot and killed the legendary knight, but even the legendary magician died in his bow and arrow.

Although the bloodline of the Sun Chaser has been thin from generation to generation, this family still has the tradition of shooting.

All the family members have good archery skills.

Although Simon is a despised illegitimate child, his bloodline is somewhat reborn, much better than his father, Earl Wimble.

Now he is a level six knight, and his combat power is extremely strong.

Especially his elusive archery technique, he once sneaked and shot eighth-level orcs.

Due to his outstanding bloodline talent, Earl Wimble even planned to divorce his wife and marry Simon's mother and let him be his heir.

However, almost everyone in the Earl family opposed it. Whether it was a member of the Wimble family or a long-term in-laws, they would never agree to let a socialite become a countess, and they would not be willing to change their heirs.

After this incident was a big deal, Simon left the Earl of Wimble. After entering the capital Nolan, a person like him seemed to be in a cone and was attracted by many great nobles.

The reason why Simon served the Horan family was because Prince Felix promised him to succeed to the throne and supported him to make military achievements, and was named Count, making his mother the real countess.
