Chapter 20: Irma is pregnant
"Master, someone from the Port Authority of the town of Manbach has just come over to give a notice that we should move the 'Castle' to the east."
Butler Goda knocked on the door of the experimental chamber and walked in respectfully.
Li Yinguang put down the reagent bottle in his hand, frowned and asked, "Why did you move to the east of the port?" ”
Steward Goda shook his head: "It seems that it is to make room for the important 'Ironclad City', the people from the Detailed Situation Administration did not say, not only us, but all the Ironclad Cities parked in the port must be moved!" ”
Make a room?
Li Yinguang nodded: "If people move, then we will move too." ”
With a weak ironclad city like the 'Castle', it has no right to argue with the management of Manbach Town, and it is the best choice to be honest and obedient, and not to prick the head.
Although there is only one 'Z3' melting furnace that is about to be scrapped, the slow movement of the 'Castle' is not a problem!
In fact, the truth of the 'Castle' is not without flaws, the old man Zhou of the Black-Hearted Grocery Store bought three scrapped 'Z3-type' smelting furnaces from the Iron Armor City, but he is a businessman, and he hangs the 'Blackheart' on the signboard, and it is estimated that as long as someone pays enough price, he can still buy the news inside the 'Castle'.
For Zhou Shanren, Li Yinguang's views have never been positive or derogatory, whether he is giving alms in the slums or opening a black-hearted shop, it may be someone's business strategy, and there is no difference between enemies and friends in the business field.
In accordance with the Port Authority's instructions, the Kasbah slowly moved to the designated position.
When the time was approaching in the evening, standing in the command room of the Ironclad City and looking at the direction of the port, it could be found that almost all of the Ironclad Castle had moved to the east, reserving nearly two-thirds of the positions in the west and the center.
While looking at the outside, he asked the butler Goda, "There was no mistake in the second issue of the newspaper today, right?" ”
The steward Goda shook his head: "Please rest assured, master, there is no mistake, by noon the distribution has been completed, three thousand newspapers have been distributed on the streets, and the other seven thousand copies have all been delivered to shops, residential houses, and a lot of them have been sent to the management of Manbach Town and the lord's mansion." ”
Li Yinguang nodded: "Is the sample report for the third issue out?" ”
"Because of the communication with the 'goblin craftsman shop' about the supplement, it has not been completely determined, but you can rest assured, the sample newspaper should be sent soon, and tonight's printing will not delay the delivery tomorrow morning!" Butler Goda explained.
"Not bad!"
Li Yinguang withdrew his gaze from the outside, and now he couldn't see what the port authority wanted to do: "How is Irma?" ”
The housekeeper Goda smiled innocently: "The mechanical prosthesis has been installed, and after two days of treatment and recuperation, except for the person who is still a little sluggish, there is no major problem!" ”
Li Yinguang looked at him and asked, "Responsible for the printing of the 'Mambach Town Tabloid Newspaper' and the management of the brewing in the Iron City, which of these two things do you think is suitable for Irma to do?" ”
That's right, I was asking for his opinion, and after a few days of getting along, I felt that Goda was not the kind of wolf-hearted master, as a person close to him, he could touch almost all the big and small things on the castle.
It's not how much Li Yinguang trusts the housekeeper Goda, isn't this something that can't be helped, there are only a few people under him, what can he do if he doesn't trust.
Since this is the case, then try not to doubt, the so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspect is not used. And the performance of the housekeeper Goda is not to be picky.
"Master, you call the shots!" The housekeeper Goda said respectfully, and did not put forward any opinions to Li Yinguang, showing caution.
Li Yinguang said with a smile: "I told you, we will be a family in the future." After a slight pause, he continued, "Otherwise, let Irma supervise and manage the brewing of wine in the Ironclad City of the Ancient Castle!" ”
Compared with the housekeeper Goda, Li Yinguang actually wants to drive Irma away, because Irma, a woman, is a bit too insidious and cunning, and in layman's terms, she is vicious, and she is always asked to guard against her. But you can't do that, if you really drive Irma away, the hearts of the people in the Castle Iron City will be scattered.
In the evening, in addition to the sample newspaper for the third issue, I also brought back thousands of kilograms of 'sweet grass vines', all of which were collected by the girl named Xiaoman in the slums.
Li Yinguang first glanced at the 'Mambach Town Tabloid' and found that both the layout and the text content of the pictures were all in shape.
Curiously asked: "The third issue of the sample report was also made by that Zhibaige?" ”
The butler Goda said: "Yes, master, but he asks for two silver bull coins for each sample report." ”
Li Yinguang said with a smile: "You tell him that if he stays, I will give him ten silver cows for each issue of the newspaper, well, at least he must stay in the 'Mambach Town Tabloid' for a year!" ”
"Master, isn't ten silver bull coins a bit much? He was very happy with the two silver bulls in each sample report. Butler Goda hesitated.
Li Yinguang thought about it, and also knew the truth that it was easy to raise ambition if he gave too much sweetness at one time, and nodded: "Then compromise, as long as he agrees to stay in the newspaper and plan a newspaper for us as the editor-in-chief, give him five silver cows per issue!" ”
"Yes!"
Goda, the butler, nodded and didn't say anything.
Not to mention that each issue of the newspaper gives five silver cows, even if the income of five silver cows per month can live well in the town of Mambach.
The 'sweet grass vine' is powdered by a machine, and the juice is placed in a large sealed container, and the prepared koji and aromatic koji are added to ferment.
At the bottom of the Castle Ironclad City, Li Yinguang met Elma.
“…… Master! ”
Elma's eyes were cold, and after hesitating for a moment, she still pulled down her face and bowed her head to Li Yinguang and shouted.
Li Yinguang shook his head: "You are no longer a slave, you will be responsible for managing the brewing of wine in the future, you will have your own basic new water every day, and you will have corresponding rewards for making money from brewing." ”
For Li Yinguang's words, Irma just nodded, not showing how excited and happy she was. However, I also know that the Castle is no longer the Castle of the past, and she is no longer the hostess of the Castle.
Whether she wants to accept it or not, it's true!
As for instigating Goda to seize the 'Castle', it is a bit unrealistic. Doesn't it mean that she doesn't have this ability, but what is the use of taking down the castle?
Sell?
There was only one smelting furnace left that was about to be scrapped, the deck was as thin as paper, and there were still so many people in the ironclad city to feed.
She also thought about leaving, but where could she go?
Going to the town of Manbach to live anew?
Abandon Goda and then climb the dragon and phoenix again to find a better man?
Irma really thought so, the butler Goda had feelings for her, but she didn't necessarily like this cautious man with little courage.
But she was pregnant...... The child is the housekeeper Godda's.
