Chapter 74: Long-term money-making plan
The next day, early in the morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Orta wakes up from his sleep.
Wow, what a big room, so beautiful decoration, the life of a noble lord is really comfortable and comfortable.
Orta sighed, sat up, and began to dress.
On the bedside cabinet was a well-cut shirt, a light blue woollen sleeveless shoulder, and a black fur coat, which felt thick and soft to the touch, and the appearance was even more exquisite and noble.
Ota hesitated for a moment but put on his clothes, and ten minutes later, at the table in the hall on the first floor, the women who were preparing breakfast heard footsteps and looked over.
Yuna was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Hey, today's Ota is so handsome, you spread your tied hair and let me see, isn't it more beautiful?"
Ota smiled shyly, said good morning and walked down.
There were not many people in the hall, all the women from Xiluo Village were helping with the cook, Xia Rui was a widower, and when he was young, he fled to Kurgea City with the women of the same village who were married, and later died of illness before they could get married. Xia Rui has never married in his life, naturally has no children and no daughters, and the huge manor and castle are all managed by the sergeants of the city, and now with these women in Xiluo Village, these people are naturally idle.
Elle came out of the kitchen with a wooden basin for soup, and when she saw Otta, her eyes lit up, probably sensing that there were too many women beside her, and after quickly saying good morning, she put the wooden basin on the dining table and got busy.
Ota also wanted to help, but was stopped by Yuna, "Don't interfere with the living man of the woman's family, sit steadily for a while and start eating." ”
With a sigh, Ota walked to the door and looked at the scenery outside.
Much of the manor was still covered with snow, only a few had been cleared, and the surrounding barracks were bustling with sergeants just getting up and eating breakfast.
Mills and warehouses in the distance are also busy, the goods in the wagons have only been unloaded and unpacked yesterday, and the villagers who have eaten breakfast have begun their day's work.
Footsteps sounded upstairs, and Xia Rui walked down in thick pajamas.
"Good morning, my lord. Orta walked back and greeted.
"Huh?" Xia Rui was unhappy, "Our brother who just married yesterday, you forgot today?"
Ota scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, he drank a little too much yesterday, although he still remembered it vaguely, but he still didn't dare to take it seriously.
"In the future, I'll call it Big Brother, Casno... That is, you have to call the second brother in the fortress, do you understand?" Xia Rui's voice paused, and he threatened: "If you dare to forget, it will be Brother Mu, and neither of us will give you a good look." ”
"Well, big... Elder brother. Orta said helplessly.
"That's right, eat. Xia Rui laughed out loud after teasing Ota and shouted to start eating.
The fortress came down with sleepy eyes, limping, and the wound on his leg had finally stabilized after being treated with the new antifreeze, but it was still awkward when walking.
The crowd took their seats and began to eat.
During the banquet, Aina asked: "Brother Xia Rui, you see that the people in Xiluo Village have been settled steadily, what should we do next? ”
The fortress also nodded, "Yes, not only do the villagers need to do something to support their families to survive this winter, but even our sergeants must have something to do to earn some money, otherwise the little money you save will not be left after a few months of military salary." ”
Ota put down the bread in his hand and looked at Xia Rui, this was indeed a difficulty in front of him. Even the women turned their heads to look, yes, everyone was now safely in the city-state, and it was time to think about the next step.
Xia Rui silently tore off a piece of bread and chewed it, and it could be seen that he was also thinking about this question.
After all, the original relocation plan was arranged by Ota privately, considering that Lord Will would persecute these people after Xia Rui left, who would make the people of Xiluo Village Xia Rui's people?
And Xia Rui didn't know if he would come back alive at that time, so he didn't have a long-term plan for the villagers, but now it's different, these people would rather give up their family and business to follow their lord, and it is impossible for Xia Rui not to remember this trust and loyalty.
For this reason, Xia Rui also has to properly settle them.
After thinking for a while, Xia Rui still had no clue, so he looked up and asked:
"It's winter now, and the land freeze is not the season for reclamation, and the guards are less than a thousand, and besides, except for the nearest Xiluo Village, which can hunt orcs, I haven't heard of any city-state near which can hunt orcs, and our people have never done anything other than exchanging money for loot, like armor weapons, leather armor bows and arrows, they are all small fights and self-sufficiency, and if we really want to take it to the market to operate, our manufacturing level is not worth mentioning...... Let's talk about it and see what else we can do?"
Yuna originally wanted to propose to open a leather armor shop, after all, she did this in Xiluo Village, and the benefits were not bad, but when she heard Xia Rui say that the production level was not worth mentioning in the city-state, she couldn't help but speak, and was going to go to the center of the square to see the quality of other trading houses.
Avril didn't mean to speak, she knew that she was really rough in the production of potions, she only knew a little bit of skin, and she could make money in the village because those adventurers had no choice, since the Three White Kings Medicine Store came, Avril had also inspected the quality of their potions, and they were indeed much more clever than herself.
Of course, the price is ridiculously expensive, but people do sell it well, after all, there is only one human life, and no one will care about that money in terms of saving life. Besides, it's winter now, there is no source of herbs at all, and if you go to a medicine store to buy it, the gains outweigh the losses, and there is no profit at all. So, Avril gave up here.
No one spoke, everyone was silent.
Tie Nan looked left and right and whispered: "I feel that the fish at the dinner yesterday is delicious, and I heard that the price is not cheap, so it is better to let the villagers go fishing, maybe you can make some money." ”
Elle pursed her lips and sneered: "Fish, fish, fish, you love to eat fish, you used to bet on fish, and now you make money is also fish, you will be against fish in your life." ”
When he was in the reserve, when Ota fought against Sawyer, the bet between Iron Man and Lenny was the blue scale fish in the Budry River, and the two have made several bets since then, all of which are bets made with blue scale fish, so Iron Man's reputation for loving fish has become a joke in the reserve.
At this moment, when Tetsuo said his idea of selling fish to make money, he was immediately teased by Ellie.
Xia Rui sighed, "Don't say it, this idea can really be tried." He looked at the fort and asked, "The fish you ate yesterday... Well, this fish tastes really good, and the price is right, many nobles must serve this dish at their family banquets, and even many commoners have to eat it once or twice a month, you can consider this. ”
So everyone discussed at the dinner table, what kind of fishing boat and fishing net, what kind of fisherman wanted, how much fishing fee to pay every month, what kind of hole can be made if the shore is frozen, and so on.
However, it seems that Xia Rui really wants to do this, and he also arranged for the sergeant to set off immediately and go to the freight yard by the lake to find a bunk and inquire about the price.
After studying the seven, seven, eight, and eight, Xia Rui looked at everyone and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for making money?"
"The third child?" Ota was stunned for a moment, why did it sound so awkward?
Elle laughed out loud, "Why is this title so awkward? Fortunately, Uncle Xia Rui said yesterday that it is personal and personal, otherwise you will take advantage of it." ”
Ota also scratched his head, and Aina, Mondello and several other old brothers of Xia Rui on the side also laughed.
The fortress said, "Don't be awkward, let's go our separate ways, Ota, tell me what you think." ”
Ota nodded and said, "Actually, what I want to do most is the business of the blacksmith shop, it would be good to find a shop near the square, armor, weapons, I can make them, and the quality can be guaranteed." Although Leo is gone, I've pretty much mastered what he taught me, oh yes, except for the piece of making orb weapons. ”
Ota knew that many of the people present were very interested in his magic bead weapon, and they also wanted to know if Leo had taught him this, so at this moment, he also took this opportunity to speak up, hoping to dispel everyone's doubts or other ideas.
As for whether they believe it or not, that's not something for Orta to decide.
Xia Rui sighed with a little regret and said: "If you can make a magic bead weapon, even if we are bankrupt and not enough to borrow it, I will rent you a shop, but unfortunately without the signboard of the magic bead weapon, when the quality is about the same, we are new to the industry, and the customer source is unstable, I'm afraid the benefits can't be too good?"
Although Xia Rui is right, Orta is very confident in his forging technique, and his strength and recovery speed can also allow him to deliver the goods much earlier under the premise of the same quality, which is also a big advantage.
Ota shook his head and insisted: "If the eldest brother believes me, I still think this can make money, and the sergeants have nothing to do, I can let them help me do the preliminary work, and I will complete the details such as refining and molding in the later stage, and the quality must be guaranteed, as long as the reputation and reputation are played, with the help of the eldest brother's interpersonal relationships, we will sell 1,800 sets of armor and weapons, and our military salaries and living expenses will come out in two or three months." ”
Xia Rui's gaze swept over the faces of the fortress, Aina and the others, with a hint of inquiry.
Since it is a family, it is not a matter of two words, except for its own extremely secret things, of course, other thoughts will not be hidden, so he said:
"I'm afraid the time of this winter will not be short, this is a great drain for many nobles with private armies, just like us, they are also looking for profitable businesses to subsidize the consumption. So, what about when everyone is surviving the winter? Those demon slashers and adventurers are already sitting on the mountain, they will inevitably go out hunting, which requires armor and weapons, and some other gadgets, in order to increase security, they will definitely choose high-quality and reputable sellers, so our goal is to focus on quality and reputation, even if you don't make money at the beginning, what do you think?"
Xia Rui nodded approvingly, and heheed, "Don't say it, the third child really has a talent for business, and he has a long-term vision, okay, in that case, let's stop inking, get ready, let's go find a good corner and buy him a shop back." ”
