Seven kinds of special sale goods, the buyout money for a year ranges from 500 gold coins to 1,100 gold coins, and 6,000 gold coins were raised for Wren, not counting fractions. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this money will be used for the construction of Ortlenburg, which should be repaired, and it is uncomfortable to live in a garbage heap all day.

At the end, Sarcomo's smile retracted, revealing a hint of solemnity, and Wren waved his hand, "Take Miss to choose a room, and by the way, familiarize yourself with the environment." The chief maid was very interested, she beckoned, and took all the maids away, leaving Wren and Sarcomo a relatively private space.

Sarcomo pursed his mouth and said in a low voice: "Lord City, we are ready, but are you ready?", he looked around uneasily, "If the city defense army does not cooperate, it will be difficult to achieve an exclusive sale, whether it is your plan or ours, it will eventually fall through." The slightest omission in the solid river means that it may not be able to prevent the stormy flood. To be honest, I don't really believe the people now, they have long been in collusion with the locals, and most of them are even locals!"

The Orlando Empire, the Byron Empire, and the Jace Dynasty beyond, the soldiers stationed in one place were necessarily not locals. A person's social relations are extremely complex, and once a local person is appointed, it is easy to appear mountaineering, deceiving superiors and subordinates. The Empire has always been guarding against such situations, and off-site service is also a clear provision of the Imperial Code.

Of course, any laws, regulations, and policies will eventually become absurd with the passage of time and the slackness of personnel. Some of the disputed and frictional borders are a little better, and places like Ortlenburg, which have not been at war for more than a decade, have long since been depleted. In order to reap the benefits, officers like Kent have long since replaced more than half of the city defense army with natives from Ortlenburg. These natives don't need much military pay to support, they are not picky about food, they are willing to do any dirty work, and there is no better person for Kent than to choose the locals to serve.

These people have complex social relations in the local society, and often one person can involve a group of people, and there are even some forces arranged to be the eyes and ears of them. Kent naturally knows it, but he doesn't care, he is an official just to make money, as long as he doesn't destroy his great cause of making money, he can turn a blind eye. What's more, locals are more familiar with the geography here, and it is clear where there are trails and where they can climb. Whoever needs to be caught, they can always find it the fastest.

Sarcomo's greatest concern is this group of people, who, once they see the benefits of the monopoly, will soon become like mad dogs, and whoever dares to stop them from getting rich, they will dare to bite people.

This is not alarmist, a standard Dragon Island smoke brick has fifty grams, that is, one or two. It was about three gold coins to buy from the Byronic Empire. Shipped back to Ortrenburg and sold on the spot, the price more than tripled at once, sometimes fetching seven or eight gold coins. If it is sold in the capital of Bell, the price of one tael will be copied to eleven or twelve gold coins. This is still in the case of everyone taking stock, once the Dragon Island cigarette bricks in Bell Province are monopolized, this price may have to rise a little.

Such a lucrative industry will inevitably cause the eyes of many people, and these city defense troops are guarding the checkpoints every day, seeing these things every day, how can they not have other thoughts?

In the past, there were no conditions, and once the profits reached such a point of admiration, they would take risks.

Wren nodded, "I'm already thinking about solving this matter, and I may have to borrow your escort when the time comes." ”

"It's natural, as long as you open your mouth!", and there is no disagreement between the two sides on this issue. At the same time, Sarcomo was excited in his heart, but also a little uneasy, because this young man was really the kind of person he had never seen before, no matter what happened, he never hesitated to kill. Whether it was to personally remove the discordant voices at that meeting, or to point out that the city defense army needed to be replaced by his own people at this time, this young man seemed to have wisdom in his hands and a bamboo in his chest.

He believed that even if he didn't mention it, it wouldn't be long before Wren would take action against the city defense army. Although there is no such warning saying in this world, "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch", there is also a famous saying that "even if it is a beggar's rice bowl, it should not be easily put in the hands of others".

Almost as he spoke, Sarcomo suddenly sighed faintly, and began to have an extremely emotional look in his cloudy eyes, and he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally turned into a sigh, "As a grandfather, I ask you to take good care of my granddaughter." ”

Wren nodded, patting the back of his hand where wrinkles were starting to appear, "Don't worry. ”

Watching Sarcomo leave without delay, without even looking at the girl for the last time, Wren felt a sense of admiration for the old man. He is a real character who never hesitates when he should give it up and is unceremonious when he deserves it. He has taken the profession of a businessman to the extreme, whether it is a serious business, or a relationship, or anything else, in his eyes it is all business. He can buy and sell everything as long as it is profitable.

If possible, it is better for such people to be taken under their command and become their own help. However, at present, it seems that his chips are too small to pry this legendary businessman worth hundreds of millions.

The City Lord's Mansion has become a little more lively because of the addition of a little hostess, and the subordinates are also people, and they are all curious, and they all want to see what the little hostess of the City Lord's Mansion looks like, whether she is a good person to get along with, and why she can be recognized by Lord Rennes. Wren did not stop these playful actions. He deeply knows that both grace and power must first have grace, and without grace there is only authority, and in the end, these people will be forced to the opposite side of themselves.

After cleaning up his mood and writing down some things in a small notebook in Chinese characters, this is a measure he has recently begun to implement. As the saying goes, a good memory is better than a bad pen, sometimes some things are forgotten, in case something very important is delayed, he really can't cry.

Back in the house, Celeste had already changed his clothes, the light blue satin dress was slightly dragged on the ground, and someone in the city lord's mansion was cleaning it almost every once in a while, so that the skirt would not become dirty. The shoulders of the fruit dew are like fruit after the rain, delicate and dripping. The two horizontal collarbones are full of jade, and their white skin is pink. The long wheat-colored hair was tied in a knot at the back of the head, and it fell in a chic manner, refreshing and lovely.

Seeing Wren come in, Celeste immediately got up from the sofa, pinched the corners of his skirt and saluted, and then lowered his head and silently did not speak. The little girl came to this environment full of strangeness for the first time, and her life was also at this moment, firmly locked to an even stranger person, the panic in her heart was not shown on her face, it can already be said that her adaptability and independence ability

It's very strong.

Wren walked to the couch next to him and sat down, raised his hand and pressed it weakly, and Celeste sat down with him, "Is there a teacher at home who teaches you anything?"

Celeste hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Grandpa hired a bachelor to teach me math and Orlando, as well as a piano teacher and a dance teacher. Etiquette was taught by my mother, and my father taught me a little swordsmanship. The girl's voice is exceptionally good, crisp and transparent, full of youthful liveliness, she said that in the end, her face couldn't help but turn red, a girl learning swordsmanship, is really a little too "wild".

Wren got to know Sarcomo a little, he had three sons and two daughters, and Celeste was born of Sarcomo's youngest son. This world is so cruel to say, the eldest son inherits everything, and the second son is no different from an illegitimate child except that his status is slightly higher than that of an illegitimate child. They have to kick out of the house and feed themselves as adults. Celeste's father was a swordsman, and he was hired to take on simple jobs, to put it bluntly, as a dart driver, helping people deliver goods.

It was no surprise that he taught his daughter a little swordsmanship. If you walk a lot and see a lot, you naturally know that this world is not peaceful.

The strife between the lords of the city, between the nobles and the nobles, is often divided by blood and death. can have a skill to defend herself, which shows Celeste's father's love for her. But no matter how much he cares for this daughter, Sarcomo is in charge of the big family, and no one can object to whatever he says.

Wren smiled: "I think it's good, a person should learn a little more." Money can be lost, but knowledge and skills cannot be lost. He turned his head to look at the chief maid, "Go and invite a respected bachelor, as well as musicians and dancers, and hire a swordsman with a good reputation, good character, and a title." ”

Celeste's pink lips were slightly open, and the tip of her pink tongue was faintly visible, and she looked at Wren in a daze, forgetting her embarrassment. It took a moment for him to blush his cheeks and lower his head under Wren's gaze, not knowing what to say.

"I'm different from other nobles, and in the future, when you get to know each other, you'll naturally understand what kind of person I am. Maybe someone will crusade against me in some way, but I dare say at least I'm a good person. Wren said with a smile.

Celeste nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you're a good man." ”

Wren couldn't help but laugh, yes, I'm a good person!

A little girl, who made Wren feel a lot younger, her moody face was melted away by laughter, and the maid pursed her lips on the side, glanced at Celeste, and looked away.

It's like a day without any surprises, uneventful, but also full of novelty and unknown.
