"Charles, actually, I think I can agree to Montero's request, and lower the rental or sale price of the cargo storage area for those locals, after all, they are all your subjects, and they should be given the preferential treatment they deserve, and the cheaper it is, the cheaper it is, anyway, that wasteland can't be cultivated at all......."

Olive happily helped Charles put on a simple new dress, and estimated Charles's waist circumference with a small hand, and found that he locked another finger, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly became as bright and bright as the autumn sun outside the window.

"What? It's addictive to making money? I tell you, you sell it to them cheaply now, and you'll regret it when the time comes, anyway, it's your dowry, don't rely on me when you feel distressed!"

"I don't want your money, everything in Bayona belongs to you and Sister Fani, and I'm going to manage it for you now......" The little girl said stubbornly, but when it came to the end, she slowly lost her confidence

Is he really better than his brother's management skills? Maybe yes before, but now..... It's a little bit stronger.

Charles smiled and didn't talk to the little girl anymore, and turned left and right in the mirror to take a look, very satisfied with his "improved" dress.

The siblings had been in Bayonne for almost a month, and the busy grape harvest season was coming to an end, and the town was about to enter a depression at this time of year, but the wasteland east of the port was on fire because of an idea from Charles.

In the beginning, only a few merchants who came to Bajona to trade wine and other goods were interested in the land in the storage area, and the locals were not very enthusiastic. With the exception of some of the earls' subordinates, who bought or leased a portion of the land in order to show their loyalty to the lord, everyone else felt that the wasteland was not worth the price marked by the government office.

However, while those out-of-town merchants were hurrying to build houses on the land in the goods storage area, merchants from the inland who had received the news flocked to the city, giving the natives of the small town of Bayona a glimpse of what it means to be a local tyrant.

The land is not bought for tens of feet and hundreds of feet, but for a few acres and acres, and the small boss behind the scenes, Olivia, who is responsible for pricing, has raised the price three times in a row, but it has not stopped the enthusiasm of these inland businessmen.

At first, only merchants from a few small nearby towns came to inquire, and later there were big merchants from as far away as Tarbery.

Located on the west side of the mouth of the Adur River, and inland along the Adur River, Pau, Monasan and Tabery are all historic regional commercial hubs, and there are many smart people with a keen sense of smell among those rich merchant families.

These inland merchants transported their goods annually to the cities of Boer or Bayonne, and then sold them by sea to the southern continent or the North Sea. How important a plot of land at the mouth of the sea is to these traffickers is beyond the comprehension of Olive and others.

In the past, every cargo traffic had a great risk, and the goods arrived at the port but there was no ship, so they had to be exploited and oppressed by the locals, and the goods could not be transported inland for the time being, and could only be corroded by the humid environment on the ship.

As for having your own warehouse of goods, then you don't have to think about it at all, all the land in Bayonna belongs to Lord Count Bayonna, that is, the houses of the people belong to Lord Count, and outsiders don't want to touch it.

Now, as long as there is a place of its own in the cargo storage area, you can ship and stock regardless of the off-season and peak season, even if the monsoon is not suitable for the day, a good warehouse can also ensure that the fineness of the goods will not be lost.

After Olive raised the price three times in a row, the rich local people suddenly came to their senses, and they approached the political officer, Baron Promi, and asked to buy even a small piece of land in the storage area.

However, Olive was instructed by Charles to stop selling and leasing the land in the storage area, and to build all the land in the warehouse for her own business, and only lease it to merchants in need.

This decision made Olive who has made money in the past few days a little incomprehensible, today the little girl mentioned this matter again, but Charles pulled out something about the "dowry", which made the little girl ashamed and had another taste in her heart, sweet and silky.

"Charles, there are those plots of land that don't grow grass, anyway, it's just a sale of the 'right to use', the land is still yours, one day you are unhappy and find a reason not to admit it, we ......"

"Olive is not right to think so, when dealing with merchants, we must follow the spirit of contract, and good reputation will bring us lasting wealth income. How much money do we have in our people's hands, and how much money do those inland merchants have? We want to ........"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Olive quickly took out a small notebook from her pocket, skillfully found her small bench, sat down and wrote down a few words from Charles, then raised her head and said, "Charles, you go on!"

“.......”

Seeing the little girl's serious appearance, Charles couldn't help but laugh a little, and in line with the idea that the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, he threw out all the knowledge he knew about "attracting investment".

"The wealth in the territory is limited, but the wealth of foreign merchants is immeasurable like the sea, what we have to do is to attract these merchants to take their money to our territory and use it, to build workshops, to do trade, to build ships, as long as they spend money with us, we can collect taxes......"

"When enough businessmen come to Bayonne with their money to do business, we can even abolish the entry tax outright, and we only need to collect a small amount of business tax, and the amount accumulated is staggering enough. ”

Olive quickly wrote and drew in her notebook, and only after she had recorded all of Charles' words did she sigh and say, "Charles, I hope what you say will come true." ”

"Of course, why would we drag the Twilight Church in as bodyguards?"

"Shhhhh ”

The little girl glanced at Charles, her little hand crossed on her chest, and she muttered softly, probably sincerely repenting for her brother.

Today, Charles and Olive are going to the Center Street Church of the Dawn Church to talk to Afra about building a new church outside of Uptown.

As the "investment" of merchants in the port area of Bayona increases, more and more wealth will inevitably accumulate here in the future, so it is necessary to guard against the prying eyes of some lawbreakers.

The profession of pirates has existed on the mainland for many years, and has created many legends and stories, although most of the pirates have no good ends, their ferocity and destructive power are not ambiguous at all.

In the past, the military strength of the county of Bayonne was very strong, and there were seven or eight extraordinary knights of the Chevalier family alone, and no blind pirate gang dared to risk their lives to rob red wine and small merchants, which was not worth it at all.

But this year's defeat of the Marquis of Lorraine, coupled with a trip to Sbaya by Charles Chevalier, has tossed the military heritage of the territory, and if the "investment attraction" is really successful, those pirates may not be risky.

There is a church of the Dawn Church in the upper city, and the pirates will most likely not dare to attack it, the church is the face of the church, and within a radius of ten miles is the range of their protection.

But the port area is different, there is a mess of everyone, fights, cheating, abduction and deception are commonplace, although the Dawn Church is mild, it is not willing to preach the essence of light in such an "unclean" place.
