Liszt had no intentions of letting the fief's residents establish a caravan for theed exclusively to the castle Without the ideas and drive for reform and innovation, no free trade system could be established Therefore, it would be better to run his fief by just following the practices of most aristocrats

Old Grandet was chosen as the caravan's leader

While Harpagon and Shylock were to assist him

“What you can currently peddle is only seafood I hope that starting froradually be sold in every town and city” Said Liszt

“As you wish, Sir Lord”

“Then, let's talk about how you intend to sell seafood This product is new, so it is obvious that the people, who had never before eaten it, would be guarded against it”

Old Grandet replied after conte a bit: “Sir Lord, we could publicize that Sir Count is full of praise for seafood I'm pretty sure that countless people would rush to the food praised by Sir Count alike a flock o ducks” This was the principle of proh it was not creative, but it was very effective

Shylock supplee number of aristocratic families and send them a bit of seafood for free to sae number of freedmen, which are potential consumers, in the Coral City We could set up a street stall to offer cooked seafood free of charge to give passersby freed, everyone in the Coral City will becoon

“I could sell the Bloodred Sword to Levis or Captain Mickey? No, they couldn't afford it But if the price was lowered to one thousand gold coins, they should be capable of affording it, right?”

Besides, it coht, the Redblood Sould still be worthy of being paired with hi the farh Moreover, with the sprite worht as well as the ones that were born by theold coins, right?” This quarter's taxes had already been collected by the castle

After careful calculations, Isaiah came to the conclusion that the variety of crops and handicrafts collected in the spring quarter roughly a quarter's taxes generally aold coins

The winter quarter's taxes were nearly non-existent, while the suold coins respectively On the whole, less than fifteen gold coins would be collected each year

While in the fall, the taxes would be even higher and ht even surpass those of Lvera's Falcon Town

“Master, your milk tea is ready” The butler, Carter, walked into the study while carrying a cup ofa cup ofto bed was Liszt's habit

“Thank you”

After he received the cup of milk tea, the thirsty Liszt directly drank half of it in one breath
