Chapter 42: Lori's Little Secretary

After discussion, Renault asked Momiji to choose five more powerful merchants, first demarcated the sales area, and strictly stipulated that it could only be sold in its own area. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The purpose of this is to prevent everyone from crowding into one place, which does not achieve the purpose of spreading throughout the Oro continent.

Then he stipulated the minimum monthly sales volume, as well as the multi-sales rebate system, which mobilized the enthusiasm of the merchants even more, which was a plan he prepared in advance.

So, after signing the contract (contract), the merchants paid a deposit of 10,000 gold coins very happily.

A drop of wine earned 50,000 gold coins without selling it, and Momiji admired Renault so much.

What surprised her even more was that Renault didn't take any of these gold coins, but gave them to her, asking her to hoard a lot of food while the price was still low.

Because after next spring, Liucui wine will already be famous, and when sales increase significantly, more food will be needed. But at that time, it was a time when there was a shortage of green and yellow, and it was easy for people to sit on the ground and raise the price, so it was a question of whether they could buy it.

While Momiji was busy, Renault was not idle. He asked Renault to erect a huge job posting in the square, and recruited a group of temporary workers to work in Black Iron Town at a sky-high price of one silver coin a day and food and lodging.

You can earn three gold coins a month, which is much more cost-effective than making wine at home!

It was just a simple job of digging ditches and lifting things, so in less than an hour, the number of people who signed up filled almost the entire square.

With the help of Momiji, in line with the principle that each family can go to one person, 500 people were finally selected. Riding their own walking birds, they followed twenty wagons full of food and supplies, and set off for Black Iron Town.

......

Soon after Renault left, Momiji took a break after arranging things.

David walked quietly into the hall, his face gloomy and his falcon-like eyes shining with a few cold glints.

Momiji was a little angry: "Where have you been all this time?"

"Lord Momiji," David didn't have the slightest sense of being a subordinate, and instead of answering her question, he asked very directly, "Why do you want to cooperate with that Renault?"

Momiji frowned, she had thought a lot about cooperating with Renault, not only her, but even the people of Sequoia Town had already received tangible benefits.

So for the first time, she felt a wave of dissatisfaction with David in her heart: "Why can't we cooperate? It's a good thing for both parties." ”

"It's just some spirits. "I think your father would be upset if he found out about it." ”

"Really?" Momiji was puzzled, although her father was older, he was not old and confused, how could he be unhappy about the things that made money?

"If you think about it, Renault will cooperate with you, and it's not because he is so poor that he doesn't even have the money to buy food, so he came to trick your grain into making wine. When he earns money, will he give you the profits? He can go somewhere else to buy grain, he can sell spirits to other merchants. I'm afraid that when you go to ask him, he won't look at you squarely. ”

"Renault is not such a person. Momiji Road.

It's not that she's simple-minded, she trusts her instincts, what Renault is trying to do is more than just some gold coins, that man must have bigger ambitions.

Focusing entirely on this bit of business will not keep up with his pace.

"Hmph, just wait and see, and soon he will reveal his true nature. With that, David brushed his sleeves and left.

Momiji angrily threw the delicate teacup on the ground, unable to bear it, this David was getting more and more excessive.

She sat in a daze, angry, and when he said this, the seeds of uneasiness were planted, and her heart was unsteady.

"Anna, tomorrow you take my letter and escort the convoy to Black Iron Town, and then you stay there, and tell me at once if he sells the wine he brews to someone else, or goes elsewhere to buy food. ”

"Yes!" Anna saw her argument with David, and she tried to say something, but she put back on it.

Looking at Anna's back as she quickly left, Momiji muttered, "Renault, if you lie to me, don't blame me for being ruthless to you!"

......

Returning to Black Iron with supplies and five hundred workers, Renault began to get busy.

It was necessary to build temporary houses for the workers to live in, produce tools for digging ditches, and build new wineries.

Under his personal command, the new distillery was put into operation in just five days. It seems to be a proud achievement, but Renault knows it. He had to produce steel on the one hand, direct construction on the other, and stay up late at night to draw structural drawings for other buildings.

In just five days, he was so tired that he couldn't get out of bed.

It seems that it is time to find a secretary, in this world they are called clerks.

But can anyone be up to the job? The people who followed him, except for Badge and Ferre, who had a little bit of learning, were all illiterate miners, and he deeply felt the importance of education.

No matter what, let's get the news out first, maybe among the workers from Sequoia Town, there are one or two learned people?

Renault didn't expect that the first person to apply was Charlotte.

Due to the lack of suitable teachers, the group of children brought back last time are currently in a state of laissez-faire, and Renault has selected some easy-to-understand books from his bookshelf for them to learn first.

Lately, he has been busy, and he doesn't have time to care about their status.

"Lord Renault, I heard you need an officer?"

"Do you want to apply?" asked Renaud with a smile, and he had a very good opinion of this shrewd and capable little girl.

"Yes, Lord Reynolds, please give me a chance. ”

Renaud laughed, the little girl was a big ghost, and even the tone of her voice was so old-fashioned.

"Well, then you'll have to tell me what you're going to do. ”

Charlotte seemed to see hope, and her dark gray pupils bloomed with bright brilliance: "I have read a lot of books, and I can do arithmetic, and Grandpa Robert also taught me poetry, but I don't think those are useful." ”

It's quite powerful, Renault suddenly became interested, pointed to a big drawing on the table and said, "Come and see, can you understand these?"

Sherlock looked at it carefully for a while, and finally nodded solemnly: "I can understand, this is a planning map, if I read it correctly, judging from the layout, it should be the new Black Iron Town." ”

She paused and asked, "Lord Renault, did you design this yourself?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Please forgive me in advance, I think there is something wrong with this place. As she spoke, she picked up Renault's quill and drew a circle between the dormitory building and the school, "If I'm not mistaken, this river should be connected to the Liucui River." If this is the case, then when the Liucui River is flooded, the water level will overflow the riverbank and the school will be flooded. ”
