"Come in, how's things going?"

"It's been dealt with, and Baron Robier is pleased. Adolf cautiously walked to Lei Zhe's side, completely unable to understand what Lei Zhe wrote.

"I know I shouldn't ask, but are you going too far with the craftsman?"

"Adolf, you were born in this era and can't think about it, why are there so few master craftsmen in the Holy Empire?"

"Of course, it takes talent and hard work to become a master craftsman. ”

"You're right, but there is another very important point, and that is the environment, the status of a craftsman in the Holy Empire is too low, which makes many people not consider becoming a craftsman. ”

"Even if the honor won by the master craftsman standing at the top is eye-catching, this road is like thousands of horses crossing a single-plank bridge, and those who can't cross it are dead, and no one will force themselves into a desperate situation. ”

"Do you want to use your reputation and money to attract those commoners to become craftsmen?"

"It's not about attracting, it's just what they deserve, and I don't need master craftsmen, I just want a large number of craftsmen who can drive the development of the city." ”

"Forget it, don't talk about this, it's unlikely that the development of the craftsman sector wants to see results at the moment. "I waved my hand, this is the same as the mobile game I played before, there is no recharge entrance, and if you want to see success, you can only wait for the CD to end.

"There are still 40,000 gold coins left in the current budget, is there any way Adolf can get the money?"

"Well, you can ask Lorianne, she knows more about this than I do. ”

"Lorianne, let her come. ”

"Okay. Adolf nodded and left the room.

It didn't take long for there to be a knock on the door, and Lei Zhe put down the homemade wooden stick pen in his hand.

"Come in. ”

"Good afternoon, noble Earl. ”

"Luo Lian?" looked strangely at the woman in front of her, who didn't look very old, her golden hair looked unusually capable, and the smile on her face was full of confidence.

It's just strange that Adolf and his father have the courage to let such a young woman manage the family's finances, wait, at this age?

"You can't be Adolf's daughter. ”

"Well, doesn't the Earl know?"

"Well, sit down, there's something I want to ask you. ”

"On the financial side, you should be aware of several decrees that I have issued recently. Lei Zhe pondered for a moment and then looked at the other party's blue eyes and said.

"Well, it's stupid, but it's worth it, your tax cuts have basically put the Wells family into a state of unprofitability, although it has not reached the level of loss, but if this continues, the Wells family will sooner or later go into decadence. ”

"I naturally understand this, but it's normal that you don't understand this way of managing in the future, and my starting point is not from the Wells family, but from the Wells territory. ”

"Wells Territory?" Luo Lian looked at the young earl in front of her in confusion, she had long wanted to come and meet Lei Zhe, but this earl didn't seem to have much interest in their group of managers.

Almost everything was done through Colmar and Adolf.

"From the family's point of view, it is indeed a loss, but from the perspective of the economic development of the Wells territory, it is completely different, with the current loss of assets of the Wells family for a few years, there is no problem at all, but in these years, the quality of life and attitude towards life of civilians will be significantly improved. ”

"That's true, but what does it have to do with you?"

"My territory has become rich, how can you say that it has nothing to do with me?"

"Poof, the Earl's idea seems naïve, does your realm really belong to you in the actual sense?"

"It doesn't really belong to me, it belongs to me now. ”

"I don't quite understand your thoughts. He shook his head.

"You don't have to understand, I just want more money now, is there any way you can get me more gold, provided that the interests of the civilian population are not exploited. ”

"You, do you want to move the nobles?" Luo Lian's eyes widened.

"No, at least I don't have that idea yet, I'm talking about the way that the money comes quickly, the impact is not too big or can be controlled. "Glancing at Luo Lian, moving the nobles? Lei Zhe is not stupid enough to be like that.

"This, knight donation?"

"What?"

"A tax of the same nature as a royalty or a mill tax, you can sell a knighthood, and I think the wealthy commoners will be interested. ”

"Selling, selling officials?" looked at Luo Lian'an with strange eyes, this is no different from selling officials in ancient China, thinking about it carefully, knights are a kind of nobles, and those commoners will join the ranks of knights even if they spend most of their savings.

As for whether it is legal or not, in his own territory, of course, Lei Zhe himself has the final say.

"How is the price calculated?"

"There's no definite price, you can just bid at a price, and if you reward a territory, it might be more popular with civilians. ”

"Territory? The Wells family still has a lot of abandoned territories that they don't need, just give them a random seal, if you directly seal thirty knights, will it have a big impact?"

"This doesn't have a big impact, it's just that it makes people feel like the title is cheap, and your rating will be lowered among the nobility, but the actual effect doesn't exist. Luo Lian shook her head.

"Then sell it, you can deal with this matter, choose a fief, if the price is good, is a thousand gold coins expensive?"

"A thousand gold coins? may be a lot, but for those people, it will only hurt a little, and many nobles' children should find a way to buy a knight's title and have their own knight's territory. ”

"Then sell it for a thousand and a half, and make more money. ”

Luo Lian looked at the earl with black lines, this way of making money is really rare, this is like the rhythm of running away after making a fortune, from the recent financial expenditure, it can be seen that the earl's thoughts in front of him are indeed incomprehensible.

"How long will it take to sell them all?"

"At least wait until the banquet is over, do you want to make this a topic of conversation at the banquet?"

"Uh, haha. With an embarrassed smile, although he was not afraid of losing face, it was really not good to talk about this impact at the banquet.

"You go and prepare for this matter, get all the money back as much as possible, and contact the war horse dealer, three hundred war horses to see how much it will cost. ”

"Luo Lian knows, I will take my leave first. "Expanding the cavalry? Is Rost going to prepare for war recently?" It doesn't seem to be such a possibility, but Reich tells her to do it.
