Coors is a very good steward indeed.

If his master is promiscuous, he will not persuade him like a courtier, but will only find beautiful women for Lothar and create the perfect environment for pleasure - fortunately, Lothar does not indulge in pleasure.

He didn't even do anything with the three Persian slave girls, but let them do the laundry and clean the castle.

As soon as Coors was summoned, he quickly threw himself into helping Lothar sort out the business at hand.

Compared to Andreas, a newcomer who has talent, but still needs to be honed.

Curles, an old antique who has so much experience that he was able to take charge of the royal court in Vlad's place while he was asleep, is very reliable.

There were many things that Lothar only needed to mention slightly, and Curles would immediately grasp Lothar's intentions, and he didn't need to bother to explain them at all.

In just an hour, Coors had counted all the estates, estates, and approximate output, as well as the required inputs.

He closed the account book with a serious expression:

"My lord, your property deficit is very serious, and if your private treasury is not subsidized by the property obtained by the raid, you can already declare bankruptcy now."

Not.

I was also able to use my title and domain as collateral to borrow a large sum of money from the Church and the Templar Order.

Lothar muttered inwardly, but said, "It'll get better after this time." ”

Coors said: "I think so too, your vision is very good, and the several negative equity you currently hold, it is foreseeable, can get a big return." ”

"But among them, the new Habsburgs need the longest period to reap the benefits, and you are investing in this place a little too early."

The new Habsburgs could not be built in a day, and even with the most important façade, it would still take almost half a year to complete.

Even if it were built, without the establishment of a village attached to the Neo-Habsburg and the Tree of Life, the castle would still be a negative asset.

Originally, Lothar believed that the new Habsburgs, if not built, would be able to maintain a balance of payments by collecting taxes from passing merchants and pilgrims.

But the speed of the recovery of trade routes was even slower than Lothar had imagined.

One of the most important reasons for this was that the port of Ella had not yet been reclaimed, and that the new lord there was a fool who levied exorbitantly and imposed heavy taxes on the merchants who had come by the Red Sea, so that the merchants arriving from the Red Sea would rather take the trade route than take it again.

Lothar nodded, "This, I admit is a bit rushed, what else?" ”

"At present, the blacksmith you have built on the banks of the Jordan River has the largest deficit of all industries, and you seem to have no doubt that the new armor will sell well."

Lothar nodded, "I'm really confident. Taking a step back, armor is a strategic material, even if it is unsalable, I can use it to arm my own soldiers. ”

In Lothar's opinion, no one could refuse a new suit of armor that was more beautiful, more flexible, and no more expensive than chain mail.

Knights who are obsessed with improving their personal prowess and improving their appearance, expecting to be favored by the ladies and funded, will never be stingy with emptying every dinar in their pockets.

Coors was a little puzzled, "May I take the liberty of asking, my lord, where does your confidence come from?" ”

Lothar recounts the illicit goods in his "A Song of Winter and Fire", and Coors is stunned.

"Your lord, this is an absolute act of genius."

"It's just that I'm still not optimistic that grape purple clothes can become popular, because your knowledge of human nature is limited, and you don't understand that people often prefer to choose the best and most expensive bone snail purple than the cheaper, but inferior, grape purple."

Lothar was a little puzzled: "But not everyone can afford the clothes of the bone snail purple." ”

The production of bone snail violet dye is very rare, which is destined to make it impossible for this dye to occupy the entire market.

Coors nodded, "That's true, so people prefer not to wear it—and it can also convince others to be in keeping with the church's frugality." ”

"Some poor aristocrats, if they wear grape purple clothes, and then meet those rich aristocrats who wear bone snail purple clothes, wouldn't they naturally be a little shorter?"

"And the people at the bottom will not be willing to pay for it."

Lothar was slightly stunned: "Is that so?" ”

Kurs Zhengse said: "Your propaganda method is wrong, you should not render Grape Purple as a low-end clothing than Bone Snail Purple, but should describe it in the book as a kind of clothing dyed with rare dye, which is rarer and more precious than Bone Snail Purple, and only the 'Westeros' royal family is qualified to wear it." ”

"As long as you control the output of the dye mill and only sell a few pieces a month, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Lothar was a little dumbfounded: "But this, isn't this a lie?" ”

Curs smiled and said, "My lord, there is a popular proverb in our world - a successful businessman must be better at sucking blood than a vampire. ”

Lothar sighed lightly: "Indeed, in this regard, I am thinking in the wrong direction. ”

He didn't think it was his fault, but with his character, he really couldn't sell the cloth dyed from grape skins, which was obviously not as precious as the bone snail purple, for such a high price.

Coors also looked pityful: "There is no way to remedy this point as your new book becomes popular in Jerusalem. ”

However, we can think differently and package grape purple clothes as 'clothes that every decent gentleman should have in his cupboard' or 'clothes that should be worn every time he fasts.'

There is no demand, we can create demand, as long as we do a good job of guiding, the already inexpensive grape purple clothes can also make a lot of money. ”

Lothar was stunned.

He recalled his previous life, the first cup of milk tea in autumn; Diamonds are eternal; Give a gift to give brain platinum.

…

At noon, the butler came to Lothar again with a copy of "The Witcher".

"My lord, I have a suggestion."

Lothar teased, "Isn't the matter of the Dye Workshop already entrusted to you with carte blanche in the matter?" How can there still be time? ”

Curs's face was as usual, and he said with a smile: "My lord, there are not many urgent matters to be dealt with in the territory, and many of them will not be able to be started until your palace dresser returns. ”

It's not that easy to divide the fields.

Jeanne threw her hands at the shopkeeper and found that Andreas had gradually figured out the key, so she simply threw it all to him, and ran back to the castle with Frigila lazily.

This is where Jeanne is not as generous as Hans.

Lothar laughed, "Heh, Cools, I didn't blame you, just kidding. ”

"Now, please give me your advice."

Coors pointed to the book and said, "Your idea of using the Song of Winter and Fire to sell plate armor is very clever, but why did you ignore the treasure in this witcher?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"GWENT."

Coors said seriously: "In the book, since you have explained the gameplay in detail, why don't you just make it? ”

Lothar frowned, "I had this idea, but I just think that this kind of card mechanic is too complicated for people in this era?" ”

Coors smiled and said, "No, sir, you would never have imagined how well people are at the table. ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you, Curs, and I'll tell Andreas and let him pay you a sum of money, and the printing workshop will be in your hands."

Lothar patted Coors on the shoulder.

Coors frowned subconsciously, because of the neat dress, there was a fold at the shoulders of Lothar.

"Sorry, get used to it."

Lothar wasn't a fool who couldn't even read words, he realized something was wrong as soon as he started.

Coors said in a deep voice: "My lord, you are serious, I do have some small obsessive-compulsive disorder, but you don't need to take it to heart at all. ”

Lothar sighed: "Okay... In short, this matter is up to you, if you fail, don't blame yourself, I believe in your talent, but you may not know much about this era. ”

He's still not optimistic that GWENT cards will become popular.

The rules of Gwent cards are naturally far less complicated for people like Lothar who have played Hearthstone and other card games in later generations.

But for many illiterate people who struggle to count more than ten fingers, it can be difficult to figure out the numbers on the Gwent card.
