Through the clean glass window, I just saw Betty walking in from outside the manor with an account book.

The janitor in the porter ran out to open the door, and she greeted the janitor warmly, and walked all the way from the gate to the steps of the courtyard, and the maids and servants she met took the initiative to salute her, her face was full of confidence and smiles, and she would nod her head and greet each of the servants, and occasionally chat, but the footsteps never stopped.

Betty wore a pair of delicate riding boots on her feet, a pair of sheepskin tight-legged breeches on her lower body, a white shirt with lace on her upper body, a brown sheepskin waistcoat, no jewelry around her neck, only a thin rope with a string of copper keys tied to it, and her curly hair on her head was tied into a ponytail, looking simple and capable.

In a year, Betty, who followed Arya, had become a deputy who could stand alone.

Arya sat at the dresser in a silk pajamas, her white skin showing a faint crimson, and a comb combing her slightly fluffy blonde curls, I stood by the terrace with a wine glass, elbows against the marble slab of the windowsill, and she looked at me with a smirk.

"The first batch of leathers sent to the Haiyin Silk City left the airport town on the 'Haiyin Silk' magic airship last Monday. She said.

As she said this, Arya sat up straight in her chair, her slender neck as straight as a noble white swan, and her smile contained the softest thing about a woman in the Grimm Empire, and she asked me, "Is that tannery named Fred your distant relative?"

I took a sip of the golden cider and replied, "Well, when I wandered with an old orc in a caravan, he taught me many things, such as some techniques for skinning. ”

Autumn in El comes a little earlier than Dì Dū, and every year when the harvest festival is approaching, it is the day when the golden cider is made.

I walked up behind Arya and looked at the woman in the mirror in a daze.

"Are those memories of your childhood that you can't erase?" she asked, looking up and stretching her arms around my neck like white lotus roots.

"Pretty much. I nodded lightly on her forehead, and I thought of the endless mountains of New Siachis, and sighed softly: "Actually, he is a very good tanner." ”

Arya pursed her lips, disagreeing with me, and said to me, "Come on, I have sent for this Mr. Fred, who is so far only an ordinary tanner, and who is best known for making fire-resistant cowhide aprons for the blacksmith's workshop, and who has no experience in making leather armor. ”

I put the empty glass on the table, and the maid next to me asked me if I wanted to refill the wine with a bottle in her eyes, and I shook my head with a smile.

Touching Arya's soft lips with the tips of his fingers, he said to her, "During his time in the caravan, he often made leather armor for the caravan guards, and although he has never made magic leather armor, I believe that with his craftsmanship he is fully qualified for this job." ”

Arya was a sexy woman, and smart enough, and when she saw me say this, she said:

"Heh, you have the final say!"

I thought that since she had asked something about Uncle Fred, she would naturally talk about Sister Singer, but after waiting for a while, I couldn't help but ask her:

"Don't you want to ask something else?"

Her eyes weren't the prettiest, but they were charming enough, especially when she squinted, and she asked me:

"For example?"

I said, "What about Sister Singh?"

She smiled lightly and asked me, "Singh, Your Highness Qige's personal maid, what do you want me to ask you?"

She actually knew about Sister Singh's past, maybe because she knew Qige better, so I could only laugh and say, "Ha, it's nothing...... By the way, have you ever thought about going on vacation to an island?"

She raised her crooked eyebrows, raised her head with interest, and asked, "With you?"

"Of course!" I nodded yes.

"Just the two of us?" she asked, her eyes distinctly teasing.

【Hmm,It's the taste of honey.】

I smiled, leaned over and whispered, "If you want that!"

"Yes!" she said.

When he said this, his eyes smiled even more crookedly.

......

Through the street trees outside the courtyard wall, one after another magic caravans carrying goods can be faintly seen coming out of the alley on the street.

With the increasing number of magic marking machines in the Magic Seal Workshop in Xinliu Valley, the production capacity of the Magic Seal Workshop has also exploded again, and the magic rune board received by Murray this time can probably maintain the production needs of the Rune Workshop for nearly a month. The next problem I faced was the expansion of the Rune Workshop, in fact, two months ago, Murray proposed to me to expand the Rune Workshop, but I rejected it.

Although His Majesty Charles has no physical problems, I can't think more about the development of the Rune Workshop on Dì Dū's side, after all, after I married Ying Li, even if I have the brand of Prince James, Prince Charles, the heir to the throne of the Green Empire, is not close to Prince James, as we all know, Prince James admires the Prince of Wales more, and I also have some conflicts with Prince George, either of the above points, it is enough for me to move the Magic Workshop away from Dì Dū.

Noah had invited me, and both he and Luis wanted me to go to the Vasqui plane, or to the city of Ignas in the province of Palestina, with its beautiful emerald bay, and the city of Haiyin, which was also a good choice.

For me, the North is my hometown, but I'd rather move all of these workshops to Sloit.

The knock on the door of 'tuk tuk' woke me up from my contemplation.

Arya was tying a corset with the help of the maid, she tried her best to tighten her abdomen and chest, and then exhale the excess air in her chest cavity to try to make her waist look more slender, she said calmly: "Come in!"

The bedroom door was pushed open, and Betty stood in the doorway, and she said to Arya and me, "Master, Murray is here." ”

Arya looked at me, and seeing that I nodded in agreement, she said to Betty, "Please wait in the drawing room for a while." ”

"Okay, master. With that, Betty withdrew.

The maid next to me helped me straighten my white shirt, helped me fasten the cuffs, and brought me a pair of shiny leather boots and squatted in front of me to help me put them on, and after checking that there was nothing wrong with my dress, I walked down the stairs along the cloister to the parlor on the first floor to meet Murray.

Murray sat quietly on a chair in the living room drinking a cup of black tea, and when he saw me push the door and walk in, he quickly got up to greet me.

His eyes were full of fine red bloodshots, and it looked like he hadn't slept well in the last few nights, so I walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said to him, "I've been delayed by some things temporarily, how is the situation on the rune workshop?"

The smile on Murray's face was even more ugly than crying, the nasolabial folds on his face were very deep, showing a wry smile, and said to me: "In the past two days, the door of the Rune Workshop has almost been broken by those magic merchants, and there are not so many merchants who come to the workshop to pick up goods at the same time, I heard that the supply of goods here in the workshop is in short supply, and the number of merchants waiting to pick up the goods at the door is actually twice as many as usual, and each magic merchant purchases almost twice as much as usual, God knows where those magic merchants came from." ”

He poured bitter water in front of me, and it seems that he must have suffered a lot of anger in the past few days.

I asked him, "How's the workshop going?"

Murray patted his chest and said to me: "I have sent someone to call for hired workers, and I must rush to make a batch of copper hot pots and exhaust fans overnight tonight, in fact, those copper hot pots and exhaust fans are very simple to install, and they will definitely be able to resume normal supply tomorrow morning." ”

Murray then told me about the promise that Duke Billy Babington had made to the Dì Dū rune board merchants, and that the Babington family would start producing primary blank rune plates for the inscriptionists in Dì Dū.

"Recently, a large number of primary magic rune plates produced in San Carlos City have poured into Dì Dū, and the price of these red copper-coated magic rune plates is also low enough, resulting in many Dì Dū side who have not been doing fire gathering rune plates and miniature tornado inscriptions for a long time feel that it is profitable, although the price of these handmade magic rune plates is ten silver coins higher than ours, but there is still some competitiveness in the rune market, and it is also a primary magic rune board, but some Dì Dū people just recognize the signboard of San Carlos City. Murray looked a little agitated as he said this, and tapped his hand the arm of the chair.

I rubbed my eyebrows lightly and said to Murray, "Then this time you will come forward and inform the magic merchants with whom we have a cooperative relationship that the price of copper hot pot and exhaust fan will drop by another twenty silver flocks. ”

Murray's expression froze when he heard me say this.

After a while, he said to me, "Uh,...... In other words, the price of each 'Fire Gathering Technique' magic rune board and 'miniature tornado' rune board is only thirty silver hammers? This price is just the OEM fee of the junior inscription master of Dì Dū for the junior magic rune board, unless the rune board merchant provides those inscription masters with blank rune plates for free, their inscription masters will not be able to push the price of the resale to thirty silver hammers, my God! I wonder if the inscription masters who signed the agreement with the rune board merchants tomorrow will be furious when they hear the news......

He didn't ask me if I would lose money, but he seemed to have some confidence in me.

Then he asked, "...... What about the refrigerator?"

I thought about it for a moment and said: " The price of the refrigerator will not be lowered for the time being, but those refrigerators may make some design changes in the future, the refrigerator made in the workshop is too rough, this kind of refrigerator can only be sold for fish stores, no one will like this kind of big wooden box, we need to put a more refined refrigerator on the market, it should be made into a storage cabinet in the kitchen, this I will give you the design drawing, you will find a carpenter, oh, or find a coppersmith, this kind of cabinet should be made a little more high-end, the customers we have to face are not those fish merchants in DìDū, but those noble lords in DìDū, after autumn, the refrigerator will enter the off-season, just in time for transformation！”

The refrigerator in the Dì Dū magic shop looks like a large wooden box in a cellar, very rough, with a thick quilt on the inside, that is, four 'continuous frost' rune boards nailed to the four walls, and some wooden boxes are not even tightly covered, which can easily emit cool air, so some people have to spread a layer of quilt on the refrigerator to prevent the cool air from dissipating quickly.

Murray heard me say this and immediately agreed.

"And how's the shade of the magic lamp in the Bronze Workshop doing?" I asked Murray.

Betty brought me a cup of tea and placed it in front of me.

Arya also put on her dress and walked downstairs.

When Murray saw Arya, he immediately stood up respectfully, showing a look of respect, and Arya made a gesture of 'please Murray continue', and then he sat down a little stiffly, and said to me, "The first batch of five hundred bronze statue lampshades have been prepared." ”

I thought about it for a moment before saying, "Very good, the day after tomorrow, I will go to the warehouse and get the 'Shimmer Illumination' magic rune board, and the initial price will be set at twenty-five silver hammers, okay, that's all!"

Murray was a little stunned when he heard my price, and he asked me with a puzzled expression: "Can you ...... But boss, the lampshades of these bronze statues are a little higher than the cost of copper hot pots, shouldn't the price of these table lamps be set higher?"

I said, "I want these magic table lamps to open the market as soon as possible, after all, the candles and kerosene lamps on the market are cheap, even whale oil is not too expensive, and if we want to open the situation on Dì Dū's side, we will have to put a lot of effort into it, so we will make 500 units to test the water for the time being." ”

In fact, I have a more daring sales plan for the magic table lamp, this kind of magic supplies are not necessary, because there are cheaper candles and oil lamps, the magic table lamp has some petty bourgeoisie, there are many people in Dì Dū who can afford to buy table lamps, but how to let them know about these magic table lamps is the most important thing.

"Okay, boss, listen to you. Murray didn't think much of it, in his opinion, magical items were high-end luxuries, items that only nobles could afford.

...... In this way, in this autumn, the magic market in DìDū ushered in the third major price reduction of the primary magic rune board, and this time the price reduction directly pushed down the price of the two rune boards of 'Fire Gathering Technique' and 'Micro Tornado' again - as long as those junior inscription masters wanted to earn manual fees, then the rune board workshop would be unprofitable or even loss-making.

This also forced the inscriptionists to reduce the manual cost of carving the magic pattern circle if they wanted to draw these two magic pattern circles.

This move immediately caused some inscriptionists in Dì Dū to complain......

As the initiator of the matter, I appeared in the class of the Royal Academy of Magic the next morning.
