The most important issue in this meeting has been discussed, and the next issue is the appointment of some officials.
Kroeber had already discussed this matter with Hyer before, and now all he had to do was read out the list.
After the appointment of officials and other matters were arranged, servants came in one after another carrying cooked food.
Due to the geographical location of Amethyst Island, the food prepared is mostly seafood and seaweed.
Thanks to Winnie the seaweed elf, seaweed appears on everyone's dining table.
Originally, seaweed was not added to the diet of the nobles, but was only provided to the common people to fill their stomachs.
But ever since Hyel placed the seaweed elves Winnie and Annie on the south shore of Amethyst Island, Winnie absorbed something and the seaweed she produced became much more delicious.
Kroeber has personally confirmed this. Compared with the seaweed produced by Anne, who is also a seaweed elf, the seaweed produced by Winnie is particularly outstanding in both taste and texture.
Samuel also took some samples for experiments, and finally came to the conclusion that Winnie was gradually transforming from an ordinary crop elf into a potion elf.
This news was definitely good news for Krober, because the value of potions was much higher than that of ordinary crops.
At present, Amethyst Island already has enough export commodities in terms of framework. After the construction of Salt Island is completed and the first batch of sea salt is produced, Krober's caravan should be formed.
The demand for sea salt in the Krobe Territory itself is not high, because the staple food of these civilians is a pot of porridge made of wheat, barley, corn and seaweed.
Seaweed itself contains enough salt, so most of the sea salt produced by the salt island will become an export commodity.
Krober also had plans for the caravan.
It was the Amethyst Chamber of Commerce that Krober had once proposed to Hyer.
He planned to build the Amethyst Chamber of Commerce into a comprehensive industry integrating foreign trade, internal supply and marketing, military-industrial exchange, and aristocratic welfare.
The person in charge of the Amethyst Chamber of Commerce would naturally be Krober himself. He would never hand over something like this, which controls the economic lifeline of the territory, to outsiders.
Except for Mr. Foster.
Her third sister Christina would also be fine, but she doesn't have the strength to suppress these people.
If she wanted to manage the Chamber of Commerce, even if she had Krober backing her up, she had to have the strength of a formal knight. Otherwise, with the energy and physical strength of an ordinary person, it would be impossible to manage such a large Chamber of Commerce.
Rose Castle has been completed, and a large number of laborers are idle. Krober has asked them to build the headquarters and warehouse of the Amethyst Chamber of Commerce. Once the construction is completed, the Amethyst Islands can start their first overseas trade.
Since this was the first trade, Krober planned to play it safe and mainly conduct activities within the Golden Duchy.
The main trading targets are the nobles in the central and eastern parts of the Golden Duchy, namely, Sunflame City, Frostfang City, Flower Crown City, Moonlight City and other places.
These places are extremely short of salt, and Krobe's sea salt is definitely a blessing for them after a long drought.
After thinking about the trade route in his mind, Krober turned his attention to Mr. Foster.
At present, Mr. Foster’s strength is that of a great knight. For him who has practiced the low-level fighting spirit secret book, the great knight is already the upper limit.
Although Krober raided the homes of two nobles, the Dou Qi they mainly cultivated was not of wind attribute. Even if there were some low-level Dou Qi secret books of wind attribute, they would be of no help to Foster.
Therefore, Krober also had to find a way to get a secret book of intermediate fighting spirit with wind attribute.
After becoming a great knight, one has a lifespan of 500 years, so the old man still has enough time to practice.
Moreover, Krober now has Shen Zi to help him, so he doesn’t need any cultivation resources.
The cultivation resources snatched from the Crab Claw Family and the Blue Flame Grass Family will be provided in large quantities for the old man's cultivation.
The Formal Knight and Grand Knight stages are simply about accumulating fighting spirit, and you can move up as long as you have enough resources.
Therefore, Earth Knight shouldn't be too difficult for the old man.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Krober stood up, picked up a glass of red wine, looked around, and smiled with satisfaction.
His eyes swept over everyone present, as if he wanted to take in their expressions.
Then he raised the glass and shook it gently, causing the wine to swirl in the glass, forming a beautiful red vortex.
His voice is low and magnetic, with a unique charm and confidence that makes people involuntarily attracted to him.
He said:
"Everyone, let us raise our glasses together and wish that the rule of the Golden Duchy will always be as solid as a rock!"
After saying that, he raised his glass to gesture to everyone, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and followed Krober's example, drinking them all in one gulp.
Kroeber put the glass on the table and said:
"Alright everyone, dinner time is over. Please do as you please for the rest of the time."
Normally, a grand banquet like this usually lasts an entire evening, with dancing after dinner.
The main purpose of the ball is to provide a platform for the younger generation in the territory to get to know each other, while the older nobles will gather in groups of two or three to discuss current affairs and politics.
However, Krober's makeshift team was still in its infancy, so naturally there weren't that many details to discuss. Everyone just chatted about the political situation and the like.
But Krober had no interest in this kind of thing. He had something to talk to his sister about.
These officials and nobles also came with their female relatives, but according to tradition, the place where the ladies held banquets was usually separate from that of the male nobles, and the location was usually in the back garden of the castle.
This also fits the situation in this world. Male nobles are responsible for the family's external affairs, while noble ladies coordinate all arrangements in the castle.
"Sir, please tell me who you are looking for. I will help you convey the message."
According to ancient tradition, when noble women hold a banquet, especially when there are unmarried noble ladies, male nobles are not allowed to enter easily.
Although the nobles have a very extravagant private life, they still do a good job in these superficial things.
"Please call Christina Amethyst Rose for me and tell her that his brother is looking for her."
The servant bowed in agreement and then turned around to look for Miss Christina.
At this time, Christina was talking rather stiffly with a group of gorgeously dressed ladies in the back garden.
