After selling the Firekiss Sword, Stannis made a windfall.

He hurriedly invested all his money in the construction of the territory, and the construction progress bar that had been stopped began to move again.

After the final payment was paid, the water-powered mill was finally built.

Thanks to the turbulent water of the Konby River in the middle, the water turbines inside the mill are in good working order, and the two huge grinding discs are constantly rotating, and they will soon be ready for use.

"Your Excellency, it looks like the speed of grinding in the territory will be greatly increased when it is put into use. Maester Romon reported.

They pulled out a truckload of wheat and threw it into the water mill to test the speed, and found that the grain that used to take a week to be ground by dry milling can now be completed in half a day, and this is only with the upper stone mill.

In addition, the flour produced has also been improved from 'dregs' to 'excellent' quality.

At this point, Stennis expects his income to increase significantly.

"Haha, who said you couldn't build a water-powered mill!" Stannis smirked.

At this time, the three people in front of him had no choice but to praise him for his wisdom and determination.

"But your Excellency, once this water-powered mill is put into use, the surrounding peasants will surely flock to it, and I am afraid that by then there will be chaos and even riots...... Lady Romon said anxiously.

Stennis had already thought of this, "This is simple, whoever pays the royalty first will use it first, as for the rate...... At 5% of the total price of the flour milled each time, I have to earn it back first. ”

The three members of the staff group all looked embarrassed, but Radish said cautiously: "Boss, I'm afraid this won't work, if these people under your command give them free use, they will definitely not leave, but if they charge a fee, I'm afraid that they would rather go back and push those heavy dry mills to death than use your hydraulic mill." ”

Stannis glared at him, "They're beautiful! I won't give them what they want to do?" Old man, write down what I have to say, and write a notice and stick it on the mill gate. ”

Bachelor Romon hurriedly spread out the brown book and began to take notes.

"The water-powered mill is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and the rest of the day is not open for a minute! ”

"Boss, this ...... What is this?" exclaimed, not only Robert, but everyone was surprised, wouldn't it be even more impossible to recover Ben by doing so!

Stannis laughed at this group of guys who don't understand marketing in his heart, as a senior monkey fan, of course, he knows this low-level monkey trick, although he can't fool the smart keyboard man, but the medieval monkey who can't read these words is still easy and pleasant.

"By the way, Robert, you go somewhere else and hire a few vagrants like you to line up in front of my mill every day, and if anyone asks, they all come to wait for the flour to be milled, and if there are farmers who also want to bring grain to the mill, tell them that the queue will be full in a week, and let them wait until next week. ”

"And the stupid big man, don't be idle, you carry this cart of grain back and forth every morning, noon and evening, pretending to be an endless stream of illusions, remember to cover your face, you look too distinctive. ”

After Stannis finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, hiding his merit and fame.

Only three people were left looking at each other, and they didn't know why.

But as Stannis expected, after a three-pronged approach, it really worked.

The surrounding farmers were amazed to hear that the grain produced in a season that was supposed to be milled for half a month can now be milled in just one day. Although a large royalty was charged, the fine flour produced could be sold at a price of 30% higher than the original coarse flour, and Stannis instructed Albert to fan the flames that the merchants would only buy fine flour in the future, causing a mass panic, and more and more people poured into the water-powered mills, and they not only did not mind paying the fees, but even quarreled over the order of payment.

Stannis sent Lady Romon to watch and collect fees at the door every day, and the old man stood from morning to night every day, and received soft money, but after Stanis restored his 'pension allowance for the elderly over seventy', he even took the initiative to ask for overtime.

Stanis was overjoyed to see the daily income of bags of silver full of copper, and he not only restored the salary of the guards and cooks in the castle, but also gave him an additional bonus, which made the whole castle praise the lord.

"Boss, you see that I have a hard time helping you find different jobless vagrants to help you queue up every day, don't you think?" Seeing that the subsidies of Bachelor Romon and Knight Captain Korodov were restored, Robert also had the idea of increasing his pocket money.

Stannis patted him on the shoulder, "How can I treat my brother badly?" With that, he ordered Master Romon to give Robert an extra five pocket money, which was nothing more than silver coins......

Radish cried and fainted in the toilet.

But Stannis didn't lose himself in the praise, because he knew it was just the beginning.

After investing another 250 gold coins, Zivinie's barracks was successfully completed.

Looking at the complex of buildings that sits next to the castle and rises out of nowhere, Stannis can't help but be proud.

From today onwards, it is his first step towards hegemony!

If future generations remember, this day will be the day when the gears of the fate of this world turn, the first year of Stannis!

Although the barracks was just a low wooden fence enclosing a dirt field, with a few tents in it, and the school field was only a slightly flat mud ground, the scarecrows who practiced chopping looked malnourished.

Stannis strongly doubted that Albert had lied to himself.

"My lord, as long as you give me two hundred and fifty gold coins, I promise to carry and build a luxurious barracks full of stars for you, brick by brick. These were the exact words of the Ranana merchant at that time.

However, no matter how Stannis looked at the barracks in front of him, it seemed to be only at the level of LV1.

With the addition of the water-powered mill that had just been built and put into use, he had already paid the little fat man 350 gold coins. But he didn't expect that the friendship of so much money would make him only give himself such a dilapidated military camp.

However, to his relief, after spending so much money on the construction of the territory, he finally gave him an architect.

Speer, a Shiloh man, now his architect, had come with Albert, and had planned and built the water-powered mill and barracks by him, but this man seemed to be taciturn, and had been in his domain for three days, and had not spoken more than ten words.

However, Stannis is not too lazy to pursue the details of this guy, as long as this guy can do his job well, he will not care if he doesn't say a word.
