After a few days in the basement, Donald smiled and walked out of the basement back to the Lord's Mansion.

"Your Lord!"

"Hmm!" Donald replied with a faint nod.

The servants of the lord's mansion found that in just a few days, although their lord's appearance had not changed, his temperament had become more and more calm, and although he smiled, it invisibly gave them a sense of majesty.

Actually, this is because Donald used the Time House to gain a hundred times the time, staying in it for almost seven months. Of course, part of the reason is that the knowledge and perception of the gods have become more profound and stable.

After arriving at the council hall of the Lord's Palace, William, the political officer who got the news, Augusta, the new commercial director, Jesse, the treasurer, and Clinton, the head of the adventurers' union, all came to visit and report on the current situation of the territory.

"Your Lord, Augusta has lived up to your request, the preparations for the Savings Bank have been completed, and it is ready to open at any time!"

Catherine's cousin really had two brushes, and in just a few days, the business in the territory was booming.

First of all, the preparations for the opening of the Savings Bank have been roughly completed, and he is only waiting for the order of his lord. This is one of the two business plans that I have mentioned with Augusta before.

At that time, Donald only proposed a rough plan, which shocked Augusta, and without waiting to return to the territory, he drove out the detailed plan overnight.

Donald took a look at it and felt that except for a few cases where he didn't know that Dalaran's unique environment needed to be modified, everything else was basically perfect, so he confirmed the implementation of the plan and found several mages in the territory to participate.

During the few days of his retreat, Augusta had already completed their preparations.

So the next morning, under the auspices of Augusta, combined with the Adventurers' Guild, the Dalaran Savings Bank officially opened in the territory, and the profits of the former city bank Donald would not be unaware, so he naturally could not let go of this lucrative and convenient industry.

It's just that the world environment is different, so Donald changed the name to a savings bank, as the name suggests, it is used to store valuables. In fact, there are already rudiments of banks in this world, and generally large chambers of commerce have services for customers to temporarily deposit large sums of money, but they are still very primitive and rough, and I don't know when it will develop.

Adventurers have always had no fixed residence, once they go out to do tasks, some of the previous gains cannot be hidden at home, or caravan, and those caravans are not very convenient and safe to carry the funds with them, and it is easy to attract the attention of thieves, so the convenience measure of the savings bank immediately attracted the attention of many people.

According to Donald's general idea, the bank is divided into two business directions, one is the deposit and exchange of currency, only a small amount of handling fees are charged, and ordinary civilians can also pay it, this convenient measure has attracted many businessmen to join at the beginning, but because it is the first time to appear, it has not yet formed a scale, and the credibility is guaranteed by the lord of Donald's side, so many people are watching and there is no specific action.

When these circumstances are gradually increased in the future, when the number of savings banks outside the territory is gradually increased, people will know the importance of this industry.

The second direction is to set up safes to store valuables for customers.

With the help of spells and alchemy, it was very easy to build a vault safe or something, and even the alarm system was simulated by several mages in the territory, especially Chris, a silver mage, who had always been interested in these strange things, and when Donald proposed the plan, he was the first to get involved.

The defense of the vault safe is very powerful, with the participation of many powerful mages, and professionals below the silver should not be delusional to be able to break it, but for the gold strong, these defense systems cannot be resisted, and it is just to prevent the gentleman and not the villain. But even if he is a strong gold, as long as he takes the items in it, he must also trigger the alarm and be known by everyone in the territory, and his identity will be revealed at that time.

What's more, just like the security system in the previous life, the defense system here can also be upgraded, as long as there is a gold mage in the territory in the future, the defense system of the gold bank can be improved by a big step.

The appearance of the safe deposit box is the biggest business of the savings bank at present, whether it is foreign merchants or nobles, and even many adventurers, there are some more valuable sī people's belongings, under the guarantee of many mages and the lord of the Dalaran side, it is naturally safer to temporarily store in the safe than on oneself when you go out.

And unless the defense system is destroyed, only the spell key you hold can open the corresponding chest, which makes these customers feel safe.

There is also a more humanized service, where the items and possessions stored by the dead adventurer will be handed over to their designated person after they have been determined. You must know that adventurers are a dangerous industry, and it is likely that they will never go back. They also have family and friends, and after the announcement of this service, it immediately aroused the favor of many adventurers, and even some others appreciated it.

In a world where philanthropy has not even existed, this kind of service is undoubtedly unprecedented.

At the same time that the business of the savings bank is booming, the affairs of the adventurer's union are also on the right track, and the new tax policy of Dalaran is also being carried out simultaneously.

The commercial tax in this world is generally very heavy, and the standard of the Celtic Kingdom is to take 20%, which means that if the merchant brings 100,000 gold soles, then after selling them, he will collect 20% of the full value of the goods, that is, 20,000 gold soles. This was extremely ridiculous in the previous life, but because of the shackles of the primitive transportation environment in this world, the price difference between different places is very huge, and usually after deducting taxes, the remaining net profits still have a lot of profits, so the number of merchants in this world will be large.

And the tax policy promulgated by Donald is that if the nose people have shops and other industries in Dalaran, then the tax will be reduced by half. If it is a local merchant in Dalaran, the tax is only 10%.

This move greatly stimulated the commercial development of Dalaran's territory, not only did nearby merchants flock to it, but some small merchants directly applied to become Dalaran's lords, and even many merchants from the eastern coastal territories of the kingdom also came from thousands of miles away.

You must know that several major products in Dalaran's territory are rare goods from the outside world, and the profits are enough to make a big nobleman blush, even if many merchants divide them, it is enough to earn rich rewards.

After Messer and other mages announced their joining the territory, Donald took back the consignment sales of moonshine wine and black tea from the Mage Guild. Now these are in the hands of Augusta, and judging from the changes these days, not to mention the daily progress, it is also thriving. The truth made Donald very satisfied.

It was almost early spring, and the Northland had not yet warmed up, except for the greenhouses, all parts of the country relied on autumn stored food to survive the winter, and only Dalaran was still selling a large number of fresh vegetable products to the outside world.

At this time, the price of greenhouse vegetables is dozens of times that of summer and autumn, ordinary civilians can't afford to enjoy it a few times, and the people who can eat it every day are nobles and wealthy merchants and other classes with advanced concepts and magical techniques in the previous life, and the production of one manor and several farms in Donald is enough to consume vegetables in the entire North County, and there is still a surplus.

It is said that even in the royal capital, there were already many nobles who ate the vegetables produced by Dalaran. Compared with the winter and summer environments, even if some nobles have greenhouses in their homes, they usually only grow some ordinary vegetables, and not all varieties can survive in this season.

At this time, Dalaran's wide variety of fresh vegetables became a unique business. Moreover, the profit of the simple vegetable business is not inferior to that of moonshine, and wine is a few points higher than that of black tea.

Of course, this kind of business has a time limit, and it is not as good as the pillar industries of moonshine wine and black tea.

After communicating with the teacher and several other mages, and participating in a few alchemical studies, Donald was ready to relax and go out to inspect the territory.

It just so happened that at this time, his woman Catherine, with the help of the queen, finally regained her self-reliance, and the king rushed to meet her.

Donald was delighted, so he took Catherine to the northern no-man's land, where she went to the world of the two.

At this time, the northern part of the Moonlight Glade was beyond the scope of the natural enchantment, so it was vast as far as the eye could see.

As the northernmost part of the human territory of the Northlands, Dalaran is undoubtedly the coldest place in Selt, but because of the existence of the Tree of Life, it is as warm as the south-central kingdom.

Many plants that were supposed to follow the seasons are still full of greenery under the nourishment of the power of nature.

So when you come outside the territory to enjoy such a white snowy scene, you have a different feeling.

Donald only took Catherine with him on this trip, and he wouldn't leave the territory too far anyway, so he shouldn't encounter any danger. What's more, his strength has now increased a lot, and breaking through to the silver realm is just around the corner.

For the sake of comfort, Donald chose to take a goblin airship instead of a flying Warcraft.

"I didn't expect the cold ice and snow to be so beautiful!" said Countess Catherine, standing on the deck of the airship, looking at the snow-covered forests and mountains in the distance.

She was born in the southern continent of the royal capital, although there is also snow, but how can it compare to the vastness of this mountain forest, so she has never seen such a vast snow scene, and she was naturally shocked for a while.

Donald smiled in the back and said, "Let's go a little further north, find a place with mountains and water, and then enjoy the scenery there while having a barbecue and picnic!" "I'm ready to go!" "Well, let's go there! Look at that snowy peak, it looks like a salt heap, and there is a flash of light under the mountain, and there is a great possibility of water flowing!" Catherine said, pointing to a snowy peak in front of her.

Donald's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and he had already seen the shadow of flowing water there, so he ordered the airship to run there.

When I got closer, I noticed that there were indeed several streams here.

Some of the ice and snow on the mountain melted, forming a number of mountain streams below, the water in the mountain streams is extremely clear, and there are ice layers that have not melted, just like crystal belts, which are extraordinarily bright and beautiful under the reflection of the sun.

The airship slowly landed on a flat ground surrounded by a stream, and Donald immediately took out all the contents of the space.

A thick blanket was spread on the ground, and the two sat on the ground, with a stove and processed meat and vegetables set up in front of them, a copper pot boiling water, which was used to prepare shabu-shabu, and an iron grid frame was set up on the other stove, which was naturally used for barbecue.

Donald had experienced this kind of picnic several times in his previous life, and the most impressive thing was when he was a child, the family barbecued outside under the leadership of his parents, but after the death of his parents, he could never find that feeling again.

In his previous life, he didn't like to travel, and he was not the kind of traveler and wilderness survival enthusiast, but it was the first time to make a fire and picnic in such an uninhabited environment, so he became more and more interested.

Catherine watched Donald work excitedly, and joined in, and the two of them started to do it, and in a while the fresh and delicious and fragrant barbecue was grilled, and the water over there was boiling, so she picked up the plate and began to eat.

Donald sighed while eating, it was still pure green sè pollution-free food delicious!

And in this beautiful and relaxing environment, with a loved one by your side, it is really better than a fairy to enjoy it like a fairy!。
