As soon as the hot pot banquet was promoted, it was immediately loved by everyone, and even some locals with a keen sense of business immediately changed their shop into a hot pot restaurant, and went to the iron workshop to buy a few stoves and iron pots, specifically to earn money from merchants who came to Icefield City to walk around.

For this reason, Rafa asked Ke Er to prepare the necessary ingredients for the hot pot to increase the price, and looking at this posture, those merchants also wanted to promote it in other cities, so in order to make up for the lack of materials, he asked Vina to open up a few pieces of fertile soil overnight and set up a greenhouse to grow these ingredients.

After a hot pot feast, the production of Icefield City quickly returned to normal, and the merchants of Kosol knew that Renault's army had been defeated, and they all couldn't believe it, until several days later, there was no one coming from the direction of Icefield City, and they finally believed it, so they let the horses be full of goods and rush to Icefield City, for fear that they would suffer if they were slow enough for others.

Rafa also gave these merchants great benefits, not only did he convert a few newly renovated small buildings into inns, so that they could live in very comfortable rooms at very low prices, but he also negotiated with some merchants to give up the shops in the prosperous areas of Icefield City to certain merchants who sold necessities such as salt and sugar, and they only had to pay very low rent, but they had to ensure that the supply of goods in the future was stable and continuous.

Rafa knew that Icefield City had recently made a lot of money by selling ironware, vegetables and glass, and the people in Icefield City, from knights to ordinary farmers, had some money in their hands, but the commerce and trade here were not developed for the time being, and sometimes the money could not be used, so he had to use these preferential means to attract or retain merchants and enrich the market of Icefield City.

"So be it. ”

Seeing the merchants smiling and pressing their handprints on the contract, Rafa breathed a sigh of relief, although it was very unhappy for these merchants to make some money, but he felt that the loss was worth it when he thought that they would be able to bring more talents along the way.

"Thank you, Your Highness. The satisfied merchants took the contract, saluted respectfully, and left laughing.

"Bernice, apart from the merchants, how many people have come to Icefield City after the Great War to make a living?" asked Rafa as she turned to Bernice dressed as a strong woman.

She is now Sipheus' right-hand man, who is busy setting up a glass and pen factory, leaving the rest to Bernice.

Bernice didn't expect that after only a few days in Icefield City, she would become a busy person in Icefield City except for Seapheth, and she no longer had to face a deadly pursuer every day, but respectfully saluted her and shouted "Lord Deputy Chief" Servants and merchants, although busy every day, she did not hate such a life, she even felt how well she could use her ability to write quickly to deal with things, and of course, she herself admitted that she liked the feeling of power, but at the same time she also enjoyed the feeling of doing things well and doing them to the extreme.

She cherishes her present life, as an ordinary person, chasing fame and fortune, especially now, when she is by Rafa's side, she writes down almost all the information she may need in case of questions.

Bernice flipped through the paper that even recorded everyone's name, "Your Highness, in the four days since the Great War, there have been a total of one hundred and twenty-one people who have come to Icefield City, seventy-six men, including ten children under the age of fifteen, forty-five women, and five underage girls. ”

"Very good, it seems that the news of the good treatment in Icefield City has already spread, and so many people have just come after the battle," Rafa nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "How did you arrange them?"

"Andrew in the mine and Barrow in the ironsmith were looking for me, so I sent twenty men over thirty years old to the mine, and the rest were boys of fifteen or sixteen and a half years old, all of whom were sent to the ironworks and the newly established glassworks as apprentices; ”

"Very good, very good," he could hardly find flaws in Bernice's arrangement, she even took into account the store that was about to open, which showed that she already knew enough about Icefield City, "By the way, so many people poured in, has the place where they lived been taken care of?"

Bernice opened another page and said, "The tin house that was urgently expanded within the western city wall last time has been built, and it can accommodate more than seven hundred people, and it is not full of people until now, and the five-story ...... that Foreman Kaido is now building"

"The apartment. Rafa reminded.

"Uh... Yes, it is an apartment, which is also under construction, and it is estimated that it will be ready to move in within two months. Bernice was a little annoyed that she hadn't written down the strange word invented by His Highness Rafa.

"Remember, there must be more toilets, and it doesn't matter if they are simpler, but they must be enough, otherwise the population will be large and the plague will break out. ”

"Yes. Bernice quickly recorded that it was the first time she had heard of the strange cause of the plague, but she was glad to accept it, and not only did she not ask a rhetorical question, but she also added a sentence at the end, "Open defecation is forbidden, and those who violate it will be punished with fifty lashes." ”

"And one last thing," Rafa stood up and looked at Bernice, "there will be more and more people in Icefield City in the future, and there will be more and more things, and I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it with just a few of us......"

"Your Highness Fili has already told me that you want to set up a town hall to take care of some affairs. ”

He smiled slightly, "She must have told you, 'I just want to be lazy,' didn't she?"

"Yes. Bernice knew they were being honest, so she didn't hide it.

"I don't care what she says, anyway, you and Seapheth will find people first, and form a team to manage Icefield City as soon as possible. ”

“...... What kind of team, like this?" After all, it was the first time for Bernice to do this kind of thing, and she had no experience, although she was also a down-and-out nobleman and had read many books, but there was still a certain gap between books and reality.

"Hmm...... You can simply understand that all the things in Icefield City that need the consent or handling of the City Lord's Mansion are gathered, and then handed over to specific people to deal with, if they can't handle it, they will report it to the next level, in short, it is necessary to maintain the overall order of Icefield City and not fall into chaos. ”

"Understood. Bernice quickly recorded what Rafa had said.
