Chapter 20: Gwenlith Parrela
Sending Silas away, Leon breathed a long sigh of relief, the negotiation just now was not easier than going into battle to kill the enemy, and the whole person felt exhausted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Well, going into battle to kill the enemy, imagining what it would be like, is not an easy task anyway.
Leon returned to the Executive Hall and sighed, "If only there was someone like Mr. Silas by his side." "It's just that you can't find a place like a small town.
Silas is very strong in business, and some aspects that he never thought of Silas have also mentioned, such as the trees produced in the original lumberyard that were only sold as building materials, and can now be considered as furniture.
There are many things that the two talk about.
First, Silas persuaded Leon to abandon the sale of the ore. He had long thought about this, and the agreement with Peel was only three months, during which time the construction of the smelter was the only priority, provided that no strange things or creatures appeared to disrupt the plans.
If it weren't for the lack of money, Leon would have started construction now, and if he wanted to win Silas over, Leon couldn't reveal his details, and let the other party know that he had the strength to cooperate.
For this matter, they reached a preliminary agreement, with Lyon providing ore and labor. Silas provides blacksmiths, and his business is extensive, and it is not a big deal to recruit skilled blacksmiths. Iron ingots can only be sold to Silas, of course.
Secondly, everything that the town now imports is now done through Silas, and what it needs in the future will also go through him.
So in the end, he became the only supplier to the town, the only buyer of iron ingots, and the preferred partner for the rest of the supplies, such as wood and furs. In addition to buying and selling at market price, Lyon gets another sum of money.
Lyon agrees with these collaborations, saying that buying and selling at market prices is not a problem with him. Especially with an extra sum of money, his plans don't have to wait another month or two. As soon as the blacksmith arrived, the construction work began immediately, and now it was only necessary to think about where to transfer people.
Only there was a slight difference of opinion, and somehow Leon mentioned paying the townspeople.
Silas said that these townspeople were the people of his fiefdom, and they could be requisitioned for free, and they only needed to pay the people they invited from outside. The concentration of these wages is a significant increase in purchasing power.
In the past, the Lyon Society agreed that the lumber yards and docks were built free of charge by the townspeople.
Now his concept has changed, and he adheres to the principle of getting what he earns. The townsfolk deserve to be rewarded for their work, and they will work harder when they are rewarded.
In the case of lumber yards and mines, last year in order to build a lumber yard, Lyon used forced requisition to drag them out of their homes to work. This year, however, a large number of people had to participate in the work of the mine, and some people had to be turned away because there were too many people.
Now in the town, you can see that the spirit of the townspeople is very different from before, and it is still only in its infancy, and there will be even greater changes in the future.
Silas didn't intend to continue on this issue, how to treat the townsfolk was the lord's own business, and as long as there was a benefit to be gained, he would have no objections.
After the initial negotiations, Silas had to rush back to Whitefog City, and a detailed cooperation plan would be brought on his next visit.
Leon didn't want to keep him, and even if he wanted to, there was no place to live, there were no inns in the town, and there was not a single room left in the castle.
The Knight of York had been a little absent-minded since he had returned from the hunt. Distracted during training, wrong on patrol, and even a mess of the daily simple report.
He's anomalous, most people can tell.
York didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't even realize that he was different from usual. Even when someone told him, he didn't believe that he really had changed a little. In my own eyes, unless it is a deliberate change, it is difficult to perceive any difference.
"Lord York. The guards guarding the mysterious woman saluted immediately when they saw York.
After his daily tasks, he would visit here in the evening. The guards didn't know who the man inside was, but they were ordered to keep watch, and York and the doctor came every day, so naturally they didn't think about the prisoners.
The mysterious woman still slept on the bed as usual, and the scars on her face finally faded under Riley's treatment, but the injuries on her body were more serious and had not healed yet.
York sat on a stool and watched her in a daze.
"Physician, you're here. The voice of the guards came from outside the door, and now Riley had a very unusual position in their hearts, and was dubbed "Lord".
York's alertness was high, and even in a daze, the sound outside the door made him sober up immediately.
"Miss Riley, I'm back a little earlier than usual today. York opened the door to greet her, feeling like he had just come in Riley.
"It's the same as usual. Riley didn't come back early, and she didn't think much of it when it came to the knights.
"Forget it, you'd better go for treatment first. York shook his head, feeling his head dizzy, why was he saying these things for no reason.
In order to allow the miners to receive timely treatment, Riley would stay at the lumber yard until all the miners had withdrawn, after which he would return to town by boat. Unless there are special circumstances, she comes back at the same time every day.
Riley sat down on the edge of the bed and first checked her injuries. In addition to the treatment, her own recovery ability is stronger than the average person. Riley would have a few minor scars after one treatment, and she would be able to achieve the same effect with a day off.
"She's so resilient. Riley lowered her arm, a wound she had memorized yesterday had healed.
"Is it strong?" York didn't think so, her injuries were on someone else, Riley would only need a short time to heal, and she had not recovered from Riley's careful treatment.
"Maybe you don't understand, but I can feel that her injuries in the past two days are not caused by the bite of a wild beast, nor by some ordinary sword, and there is a power on it that resists healing, and this power does not belong to her. Riley knew it wasn't easy when he first saw her, thinking she had a special physique, only to realize later that it was the strength of the wound that resisted treatment.
"What could that be?" York had heard of this for the first time, and could not have imagined what would be anything, could it be that there were unknown monsters in the mountains besides wild beasts?
"I'm afraid all this will not be known until she wakes up. Riley didn't know more than York, and she couldn't give a definite answer.
