Chapter 67 Debts
Alva glanced at Lei Ming with a resentful look, straightened up her clothes, sat upright, and began to record them one by one.
Lei Ming beckoned, and three young male assistants walked in and sat next to him. With the help of these people, the speed of registration has been accelerated by almost ten times. After a while, I sorted out a document and handed it over. He looked through it and nodded in satisfaction. The list is so complete that it is even estimated how long the grain will last.
"Can it only last for ten days?" Thunder knocked his index finger on the table unconsciously, his brow furrowed. He touched the letter in his pocket and commanded, "Go and call Butler Lisa." ”
"Yes. Alva noticed that some of the merchants were secretly looking at her, and her eyes almost burst into flames, and the look of displeasure vanished. Silently clutched the slit of the long skirt, covered the long legs, and walked out in small steps.
"My lord, can we leave?" all the merchants whispered, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, looking at the thunder and tentatively.
"The gold coins will be sent to you in a few days, do you want to make a note from the Viscount?" Lei Ming was sure that these merchants did not do what they were asked for, and at most took out a third of the grain, or even less. He also had no intention of pursuing it, even if he paid it all and maintained it for a month at most, he still couldn't survive until the autumn harvest.
All the merchants secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shook their heads in unison. Turned around and quickly left the Viscount's Mansion, faster than even the knights.
"My lord, are you looking for me?" Lisa's long wet hair was draped over her shoulders, her beautiful face was as red as an apple, and her body exuded a little freshness after bathing.
Lei Ming smiled ambiguously, took her into his arms, and kissed her. A faint jasmine scent wafted into his nose, he took a deep breath and said in surprise: "Body fragrance?"
Lisa's blush stretched to her neck, and she bowed her head shyly, leaning on his chest and answering softly.
"Ahem. Alva's heart was sour, and he coughed dryly, glancing at the servants around him.
"My lord, what are you looking for me?" Lisa blushed, struggled to her feet, and asked in a serious manner.
Lei Ming glanced at the servants around him, his eyes stopped at the three young male assistants, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, he waved his hand impatiently, and said, "You have been dismissed, settle your salary now, and get out of the Viscount's Mansion immediately." ”
The three male assistants, their lips muttering, couldn't say a word for a long time. They can't wait to slap themselves now, they are usually very clever, why don't they have any eyesight at critical moments.
The work of the Viscount's Mansion is easy, the salary is very high, especially the lord is very generous, and every festival will reward some gifts of gold coins. Many people want to come in, but there is no way. Now I have lost this job that others are jealous of, and I really don't know how to explain it to my family when I go back. The three of them looked at each other helplessly, and walked out of the conference hall dejectedly.
"My lord, they are unintentional. Lisa bit her rosy lip and excused herself.
"This letter is sent to Archduke Catherine, go!" Thunder changed the subject as if he hadn't heard it. It's good to disturb your own good deeds, and it's good if you don't kill them.
"Yes. Lisa answered, took the letter, and walked out briskly.
Lei Ming looked at her graceful back, touched her chin, and the fire in her eyes flashed. He shook his head and shook the distractions out of his mind. It took about 20 days to get the grain from Catherine, and the grain merchant bought the grain at about the right time.
His heart moved, and he checked the Book of Destiny. The red energy indicator reaches 85%, and killing Bunier only increases energy by 2%. He pouted in disdain, this guy was too wasteful. Just as he was about to retract his gaze, the red energy indicator suddenly increased by a section, reaching 92%, and stopped completely.
Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, looking thoughtful. In the Forest of Thorns, the imperceptible growth of the energy marker finally stopped? He had thought it was the return of the grain fleet, but now it seemed that it was not.
"My lord, the Grey Cardinal of the Temple of Agriculture, Celia is here, will you receive you?" said Alva as she walked in.
"I went out to greet me personally. Lei Ming came back to his senses, got up and strode out of the conference hall. From a distance, I saw a pretty figure in a white robe, standing there quietly. The breeze blows, and the soft hair flutters gently, like a fairy in the wind, beautiful and natural.
A hint of obsession flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "Miss Celia, welcome to my mansion. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're so much prettier again. ”
Celia blushed slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt, and made a ladylike salute. "Thank you, Lord Lord, for your compliment. ”
The two entered the living room one after the other, and the maid brought tea and put it on the table, saluted and withdrew.
"Miss Celia, you left before I could thank you last time. I don't know what to do with me this time? As long as I can help, Viscount Ben will never refuse. Lei Ming smiled and said solemnly.
"My lord, I have come this time to invite you to the opening ceremony of the Grand Temple of Grant City. Thanks to your help, the Territory Temple has been built. Celia couldn't hide her excitement, becoming the bishop of the Agricultural Temple had always been a dream.
Lei Ming bowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and said apologetically: "You also know about the food crisis in the territory, I'm afraid I don't have time to participate, I'm sorry." ”
Celia squeezed out a smile with a disappointed look in her eyes, nodded, stood up and saluted, "In that case, my lord, I will take my leave first." ”
Lei Ming sent her out and turned back to the study. Pick up a temple book from the bookshelf and flip through it. The last time I met Charles that fanatic in Port Vale, I felt that the gods were terrible. In order to avoid exposing the Book of Destiny, he painstakingly sent people to collect these books, consciously avoiding some occasions where miracles might be displayed.
"My lord, Archduke Catherine has replied. Lisa knocked lightly on the door, got a response, and walked in.
Lei Ming put down the book in his hand, tore open the letter and read it. The smile on his face gradually converged, and his expression changed uncertainly, as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, and he would be green and white for a while.
Catherine mentions that the grain had been purchased by King Aubrey and used to fight in naval battles. If you really need it, you can barely squeeze out a little grain, and the price will remain the same, or a hundred times the market price. At the end of the letter, it was clearly stated that Alva had sent the ship, and since it was not his fault, the gold was halved to ten million.
"Your Excellency. Lisa cried out worriedly.
"You can take a look at it too!" Lei Ming's expression slowed down and handed it over. Leaning back in his chair and rubbing his brows, what is a little food enough? It seems that it is imperative to open up sea transportation.
"My lord, do you really want to pay back Archduke Catherine's ten million gold coins now?" Lisa clenched the corners of her skirt, looking a little nervous.
"What are you kidding, there is no reason to spit out the meat in your mouth. Seeing Lisa's strange look, Lei Ming rubbed his nose and explained, "I mean I'll give it when I have the gold coins." ”
