Sun Festival.

As the last day of the summer, this day also means that the hottest days of the year are behind us, and the upcoming autumn season is a busy day for the town. A lot of crops are about to be harvested, and there are several gatherings in the middle of the harvest season. It's a day of money and fruit, and farmers will have their wallets full and get through the winter in peace, and then usher in the start of another year.

Today, however, there was a knock on the door. Brad pushed the door open, and saw the mayor of Round Cheese and the owner of the farm, Mai Yi, standing in front of the door.

"Happy Sun Festival! Will you be there? ”

Brad was slightly stunned when he saw the mayor, and immediately nodded to let the two of them in.

Arrow was going downstairs at this time, and it was a little surprising to see these two appear together. However, he was not surprised when he saw the smile on Mayor Round Cheese's face.

"Yo! Boss, happy sun festival. How could you give up my place today? ”

Round Cheese walked in with a grin, sat down on the bar chair, and said with a smile, "Didn't you want me to help your guild recommend more recommendations before?" Hehe, no, I'm here to introduce you to business! ”

Coco also came down from the second floor, and when she saw the mayor, she immediately shrunk her neck and wanted to go back. Ke Yuan's sharp eyes saw her first, and immediately greeted: "Coco! Happy Sun Festival! Does your guild have no activities during the holidays? ”

Arrow beckoned Coco to come down, and he entered the bar, indicating the distinction between host and guest, and smiled, "Yes! The task commission in the festival is 10% off! Boss, how is business lately? ”

Mayor Round Cheese looked happy, he glanced at Mai Yi, who was admiring the reception hall over there, leaned into Arrow's ear and whispered, "In the past few days, my business has been three times better than before!" I don't know why, but I think it must have worked! I can't thank you enough! ”

After the mayor's pass, Arrow knew that Coco could already establish himself in the town, and immediately smiled, "Where, where, I want to thank you for introducing me to work." ”

After admiring the building, Mai Yi also walked to the bar and sat down, and said, "President Arrow, I have done your business before, and I feel good!" And this time the mayor strongly recommended it, so I'm here to entrust you too! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Brad poured Mayor Mare and Mai Yi a glass of water. Arrow continued, "Are you going to kill slimes again this time? ”

Mai Yi waved his hand: "No, no, no, this is not the harvest season, this time my family's wheat harvest is very good!" But the harvest is a little too tiring, the woman in my family is useless, in the past I always asked my brother from the next town to help, but this time my brother went to the capital, so no one helped. ”

Arrow nodded: "Understood, entrust the harvesting of wheat, right?" Yes, we pick it up. How long do you want us to help you harvest? ”

Mai Yi: "I hope in a week. That's a lot, is that okay? ”

Arrow and Mai Yi estimated the size and workload of the wheat field, nodded and said, "Yes." We can help you get it done faster and in three days. I'll look at the price, this kind of mission is not dangerous, it should be 5 copper coins. But today is the Sun Festival Day, I'll give you a nine-percent discount, 4 copper and 5 iron coins. ”

Mai Yi frowned obviously: "So expensive? Can it be cheaper? ”

Arrow immediately shook his head, showing a very embarrassed look: "Sir, you used to ask your brother for help, you must have to work in the field by yourself, right?" But this time you just have to watch with your family, and the price is easy. Wouldn't it be nice if you could use that time to do something else? ”

Round cheese also helped beside him: "Yes, yes, the efficiency of the Mermaid Song Guild is still very good." Didn't you say that you commissioned it before, and it worked well? This time it must have gone smoothly too! Believe me once, when did Mayor Mare's lie to you? ”

With the help of the mayor, Mai Yi finally nodded: "Okay! Deal! ”

The commission was established, and Solo immediately helped Mai Yi sign the entrustment contract. At the same time, he called Coco and Brad, and said, "Look, now that the mission has appeared, let's go to work after breakfast." ”

Brad took the power of attorney and nodded in confusion.

But Coco seemed a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, he still spoke: "Brother President, that ...... Can I skip this assignment? ”

Brad put down the power of attorney and said, "President, if Coco doesn't want to go, then I can do it alone." When I was in my hometown, I often helped with farm work, and it was no problem for three days! ”

Arrow's face fell: "What, why don't you take the task?" You let your undead soldiers cut the wheat, and you just have to watch from the sidelines, which is very easy for you. ”

Coco rolled up her robe and said timidly, "Because...... I'm not trying to ...... Do you read and write? Classrooms are being renovated these days...... I thought I would be able to start learning today......"

It turned out that this was the case, Arrow put away the coldness on his face and laughed again: "Don't worry, you go to work, and I'll teach you when I come back in the evening." Reading and writing are easy to get bored if you work all day, and two hours a day is about the same. ”

Coco nodded suspiciously.

Mai Yi, who paid the commission fee on the side, was a listener and said, "President, do you still teach reading and writing here?" ”

Arrow rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a way to make money, and immediately smiled and said, "Yes." Not only can you teach you to read and write, but you can also help take care of your children. Mr. Maiyi: I remember you had two children, right? If you can learn to read and write, you can better help you settle accounts in the future, which has a lot of benefits! ”

Mai Yi's expression seemed a little excited, and after thinking about it, she continued: "Hmm...... I do want my son to go to school, but there are no schools in Pelican Town. I don't know a word myself...... If I can let my son learn something, it would be better to be a clerk in a big town than to spend all day in a field like ours. Well...... Can it really be delivered to you? ”

Arrow smiled and nodded: "This is also a kind of commission, eat breakfast at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, you can send the child to my side." At four or five o'clock in the evening, you pick up the child again. They can have lessons and have fun with me, and I will give them a lunch. The cost of 3 iron coins a day for a child can be paid once a day, and if you pay according to the quarter, you can also get a 9% discount. What do you think? ”

Napa nudged Arrow next to her, "(whispering) Do you have that much effort to take care of those bear children?" ”

Eero: "(whispering) Now is the time to lay the groundwork, teach our members not to collect money, why not teach other children to collect money in the same way?" ”

Napa gave him a blank look: "It's really out of the eyes." ”

Mai Yi did the math herself, nodded and agreed: "Well, yes." It's better to let that kid come here to learn something, and don't bother me too much, than to make trouble at home. ”

Arrow: "And what about your daughter?" ”

Mai Yi snorted: "Girl? What books does the little girl read, the more things she learns, the more difficult it is to get married. I heard my brother say that the more knowledge you have, the smarter you are, but if a girl is so smart, she will become a scourge! Before you get married, you will cause a lot of trouble to your family, and after you get married, you will cause a lot of trouble to your husband's family. ”

Speaking of this, Mai Yi glanced at Coco over there, leaned over and whispered in Arrow's ear, "Also, I also suggest that you don't let this girl learn too much." The more she learns, the less likely she will listen to you, and she may cause you trouble in the future. ”

Arrow smiled and said, "Words...... That's right. However, I have also heard that the children of the nobility like to marry those who are educated and knowledgeable. I heard that in this way, the woman's family will appear to be educated, which will make the husband's family feel face-saving. Mr. Maiyi, do you think that those nobles and knight families will allow the future heir of their family to marry a well-informed woman, or a country girl who doesn't know anything? ”

This reason was unexpected by Mai Yi, and he nodded thoughtfully.

Arrow took the opportunity to continue: "So, it doesn't hurt for a girl to learn something. Don't you want your son to go to the big city in the future? Maybe your daughter will be able to go to a big city and marry some rich family in the future. Wouldn't that be nice to you? ”

Mai Yi laughed, laughing heartily.

He slapped the table and said with a smile: "President, I heard that you are from the capital Hanhai City, right?" If you don't say you're a smart person, you'll be able to open a guild at a young age! Okay, I'll listen to you! I have my sons and daughters come to school with you! Learn for 10 days first! ”

Airo also slapped the table: "For the sake of you being my first customer, I only count you two children as 5 iron coins a day!" Don't tell anyone else! ”

The farmer looked overjoyed, and after signing the second commission, he left with Brad, Parfay, and Coco to work.

The mayor of Round Cheese on the side leaned on the bar and sighed with a smile: "Business, you people from big cities will do it." Why are you people in the city so twisting and turning? In the blink of an eye, the two entrustment contracts were signed. ”

Arrow reached out and rubbed Napa, who was lying on the cushion next to him, and said with a smile, "It's not two, it's three." Boss, there is still a commission between me and you that I haven't signed. ”

"Me?"

Round cheese hurriedly waved his hand-

"No, no, no, I don't have anything to entrust you. You can't roll an old friend's money like that! ”

"What, I want you to help me out and sell sales."

Arrow poured another glass of water for the round cheese and continued—

"Am I not running a school? At the same time, of course, the more students the better, and the more money you will collect. Since there is no school in the town, I hope that the mayor can help me spread the word so that the children in the town can come to my school. ”

Round Cheese pinched his beard, and his face was still uninterested: "Then what contract do you sign with me?" ”

Arrow raised his glass and touched the round cheese cup, and said with a smile: "Boss, did you forget?" As I said, I'm going to make lunch for those kids. But I can't really make lunch for so many children by myself, right? No, you have cheese pies for sale here, don't you? ”

The mayor's eyes finally zoomed in at once! He pinched his beard and looked happy: "I see, I see!" How else would you city people do business! Uh-huh, not bad, not bad, not bad! ”

Arrow: "Boss, look, a child, I collect three iron coins a day. Then I'll take out an iron coin and buy you a small piece of cheese pie. Child, the amount of food is very small, your cheese pie of 2 copper coins is enough for an adult to eat three meals a day for four days, so the amount of one iron coin for a child to eat lunch is enough. As long as the number of students who come to me is high, then your pie will sell more. ”

"For example, if you have ten children, you only need 100 days to earn 1 gold coin. If I have twenty students here, you can earn it in fifty days, and if I have fifty children, you can earn 1 gold in twenty days! You see, do you sign this entrustment with me or not? ”

In an instant, the expression of the round cheese changed from the smile just now to a serious one!

He looked at Arrow with an angry expression, smashed the cup in his hand on the bar, and said loudly, "What do you mean?" What do you mean, President Arrow?! ”

Now it was Arrow's turn to be stunned.

"Is it a problem with money? As the mayor of Pelican Town, do I look like a person who can do anything for money?! ”

He got down from the bar stool, straightened his clothes, wiped the mustache lightly, and said solemnly: "It's all for education, it's for the education of Pelican Town!" It's not about money at all! ”

"For the sake of Pelican Town's education and future, and for the sake of those children, I have decided that I must make sure that all children under the age of twelve in our town go to school! This is a major policy to improve the knowledge level and future development prospects of our town! Gold? How vulgar is it to talk about gold coins at this time? ”

Arrow immediately put on a serious face: "Oh, why didn't I think of it before? Sure enough, it was the mayor of the town, and he was thinking about the future of our town, our future! I'm sure the kids of the town will be grateful to the mayor! ”

Round cheese still maintains that seriousness: "Well, all the kids in the town are my kids." Naturally, I want to protect my children. For the sake of their health, it is only natural for me to pay attention to their diet and supervise the entire food production and supply process, right? That's it! ”

Arrow immediately took out a power of attorney and quickly wrote the contract on it. The mayor of Round Cheese didn't look at the big pen, turned around and walked away majestically.

The lively mayor left, and the guild became deserted for a while.

Arrow exhaled and leaned down on the table to relax a little.

"You made three businesses in one morning, and you still say that economics doesn't teach you how to make money?"

Napa looked away and looked at Arrow with a look of disgust.

The president raised his head, took off his hat, and let his hair loosen: "I have to say it a few times, we really don't teach economics to make money." ”

The cat snorted and flew over Arrow's head, stepping on the blonde hair, which was fluffy and soft, and felt very comfortable: "But you really didn't make any money. One child has three iron coins, one of which is used to buy food, and you are responsible for taking care of those children. No matter how you look at it, it's not a lucrative deal. ”

Airo scratched his head: "I know, but there are short-term ways to make money, and there are long-term ways to make money. If a businessman wants to develop, then he must be inseparable from the development of the place. A small town that is ignorant and inflexible, even if you give them the best product, they won't buy it. ”

Getting up, Arrow put the power of attorney in a drawer, put away the cups on the table, washed them, wiped them clean, and put them on the cup holder—

Mai Yi is right in saying that once people learn more knowledge, they will become more greedy, and this greed lies in wanting to know more, wanting to get more, and wanting to create more. I teach Pelican kids knowledge, and after a few years, they will naturally use that knowledge to create more value. And smarter, more skilled workers create more value for a boss like me. So, I'm also an investment. ”

Napa reached out and rubbed Arrow's hair, patting it around as if she had found something fun: "In a few years? Don't forget, you only have three years. Today is the Sun Festival, and the Holy Night Festival in three years will be your deadline. ”

Arrow shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "What, it's indeed a three-year goal in the short term, and I'll be in trouble if I don't complete the goal." But what if I managed to earn 1,000 gold after three years? Just because I'm not in the guild after three years doesn't mean I'm not in the guild. Besides, the best way to control a family is to control the children in the family. If these kids think I'm great, then their parents will think our guild is very good. Naturally, any commissions will come to us. ”

Picking up the broom, Eero gently swept the floor of the hall.

Napa continued to lie on his head, looking at the girl with smooth blonde hair, her eyes glinting with a strange light.

The girl was unlike anyone it had met before.

The guild she opened was also completely different from the guild she had known before.

Although her mind is full of money, this girl is able to come up with a way to make money with money, mutual benefit and symbiosis between each other, and cooperation and coexistence.

However, she has a three-year deadline.

What exactly does this deadline mean?

She keeps saying that she is a girl from a poor family, but why was she able to graduate from the old vine tree college?

There are too many secrets hidden in her.

Only now, Napa knows that this girl is hiding so many secrets, but she is a very competent guild leader.

"Oh, I almost forgot about it."

The door opened, and Mayor Round Cheese walked in happily.

As soon as he entered, he saw a figure sneak into the bar with a thud and take down the hat that was placed on the counter.

"President?"

"Hey! Boss, why are you back?! ”

Arrow stood up from behind the bar with his hat on, gasping for breath, smiling.

Round Cheese Fox was suspicious for a moment, leaned his head and looked behind the bar to make sure he didn't see anything strange, so he didn't pay attention to it: "Oh, I was so happy chatting with you that I forgot about it." Didn't I say I'm going to introduce you to a job? ”

Arrow lifted his hat and said with a smile: "Isn't it Boss Maiyi?" Thank you for the introduction. ”

"No, no, no, no. Mai Yi happened to meet me at the gate. I'm here for other jobs. ”

Round cheese sat down on the bar chair again, and said happily—

"This person came to our town last night, I heard that he came from the capital, to conduct a geological survey, and I want to find a local guide to take me around, especially to see the Changmian Mountains."

"I see he arrived late yesterday, and I thought you should be closed, so I asked him to go to the Unicorn Tavern for a day off, and he should come to you this afternoon to introduce him to work. By the way, this person gave you quite a lot of money! ”

Coming from the capital and want to investigate the Eternal Sleep Mountains?

Hearing these two keywords, Arrow knew that his main event was coming.

After exchanging a few words with round cheese and sending it away, Arrow turned his head, looked at his guild, and nodded earnestly.

"Is it from the Empire that came from the capital? It's what you call a gold mine. ”

Napa returned to her seat cushion and craned her neck to look at Arrow.

Arrow shook his head slightly, but then laughed, "I don't know, but the target is that the gold mine should not have run away." From now on, we are going to start visiting the mine in earnest, so we need to be well prepared. ”
