The afternoon of the day he was appointed.

Rosen, Shabolai, and Harrick gather at the Hound House.

Oh no, it's not called the Hound House now.

It was officially renamed the 'Crescent Town Temporary Town Office Building'.

There is no way, the three of them are not wealthy, and they do not have a large estate, so they can only use this simple sloping roof for the time being.

'Goo~'

Taking a sip of Harrick's treasured wine, Shabolai began to elaborate on the details of Crescent Town that he had heard from the refugees.

"The Iron Arm Lofan has made a Brotherhood of the Iron Arm."

"He not only killed Samler, but also directly set a fire, burned all the wooden houses in Crescent Town, and then pulled at least 2,000 strong men and countless women, and robbed all the valuable materials in Crescent Town, and fled into the Falling Snow Mountains."

Rosen asked, "I heard that Lovalle is a mercenary, how capable is he?" ”

This Brotherhood of the Iron Arm is definitely going to be eliminated.

The main members of the Brotherhood must also be sent to the gallows, and as for Loval, he is afraid that he will be sentenced to death.

As for the ordinary members, they can be treated leniently, as long as they are willing to lay down their weapons and live honestly, then a little punishment is enough.

Chapellet began to introduce Lovalle in detail.

"He's a mid-rank samurai, and he once served as an officer in the Second Garrison of the Silver Moon, the legion commanded by my eldest brother. Later, he was discharged from the army and lived a good life for a few years, until he became addicted to gambling money. ”

"Gambling money is bottomless, and within half a year, the money saved as an officer was lost, and in order to make a living, I had to become a mercenary."

Harrick shrugged, "Shabolai, I have to fight with you." ”

Shabolai slapped the table, his eyes wide.

"Fart, I never gamble."

"You don't gamble, you just send money to the girl. People can still win if they gamble money, but they are pure losing. ”

Xia Bolai blushed: "I, you. Just talk about business, why are you pulling me on me? ”

Harrick pouted, "If you can be more disciplined and have a better reputation, maybe there will be more people who support us." ”

Shabolai was speechless.

Rosen waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't mention the past." The uncle had already changed, and he swore in front of the earl that he would chop off the elephant's trunk if he thought about the girl again. ”

He listened to this, because old bad habits are not easy to change, but since Xia Bolai has made such a poisonous oath, he will definitely restrain himself.

Harrick's eyes were round: "Shaporai, tsk~ You are ruthless enough~ Okay, I won't mention it again!" ”

Xia Bolai breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I have a very good relationship with the refugees these days, and everyone trusts me very much, and when they heard that I became the acting lord of Crescent Town, they all expressed their willingness to go back to Crescent Town with me and rebuild the town. ”

At this, there was a hint of smugness on his face.

Rosen was also not stingy with praise: "Uncle, you are reliable this time." In Silver Moon Castle, there is not a single noble young master who can endure hardships like you! ”

Harrick also nodded: "This thing is well done, I will obey you!" ”

"Hahaha~~"

Shabolai laughed happily, but a sad face soon crept up his face.

"The current situation is that there is nothing left in Crescent Town. All the metal, not even an iron spoon, or even the hoop of the hoop toilet, had been taken away by the Brotherhood. ”

"In addition, the eldest brother has just undergone a big purchase in order to build a town, so there are not many idle materials in the Silvermoon Fort market. Iron tools, in particular, have become scarce materials. ”

"Therefore, it will take at least a month for the 150,000 kronor reclamation materials that everyone has supported to be fully delivered."

It's not about money, it's about the highland market.

No matter how much money there is, it can't be changed, so it can only be made to make various workshops work overtime to produce.

Add to that the chores of recruiting officials, artisans, mercenaries, and more, and it would be a month before they could set off for Crescent Town.

Otherwise, you don't even have a hoe and sickle, so you can't let a group of people go over and plow the ground by hand, right?

Rosen naturally understood, and nodded his head to show that he understood.

"A month later, the new grain happened to be on the market, and we just happened to buy another batch of grain, and the more we bought, the better."

Everything else can be slowed down a little, but the food can't be slowed down, and the more the merrier.

Because once the grain reserves are insufficient, the townspeople will panic, and the team will not be able to lead it.

In addition, although others supported the 150,000 kroner of materials, this had to be repaid, and this batch of materials was not enough for subsequent construction.

They had to hurry up and find a way to get more money to sustain the subsequent construction.

And this is the biggest reason why the three of them gathered in the Hound House today.

Xia Bolai looked embarrassed: "Anyway, I don't have any money." ”

He quickly added: "I have invited my brothers to drink all my salary as a general, and I have 10 crowns left on hand." ”

Harrick covered his head and sighed, "Everyone knows you're a poor bastard, and they don't expect you. ”

Naturally, so did Lawson.

Xia Bolai smiled dryly and suggested: "Why don't we go to the Full Moon Bank to borrow a sum?" The bank was the property of the Omihia family, and I went to borrow 100,000 kroner to buy food. ”

Rosen shook his head: "If you can't borrow it, your eldest brother will never agree to it." ”

Vappos was not completely disqualified from inheritance, and the two were still in a competitive relationship.

He will definitely go above the bottom line set by the Count and do everything he can to prevent Chapole from happening.

Shapole said again: "Then why don't you go to the rich man in the city to borrow it?"

Harrick immediately shrunk his neck: "Those rich people are more shrewd than monkeys, and if you ask them to borrow money, it must be a loan shark." ”

It's also said that if you want to have a nine-out thirteen return, then you will only work for others in the future.

Moreover, the rich people who were willing to borrow money from Silver Moon Fort actually borrowed almost all of them, and the 120,000 kroner was put together by this group of people.

Xia Bolai looked at Lawson: "Lawson, don't beat around the bush, you just say what to do?" ”

Rosen laughed, he did have a detailed plan.

"It's not good to live by borrowing money, you have to find a way to make money."

Shapole looked slammed: "I only spend money, not money."

Harrick didn't speak, waiting for Rosen to say something.

Rosen smiled and said, "Two uncles, do you remember the big businessman Candela?" ”

Harrick nodded immediately, of course he remembered, but Shabolai was not impressed.

Rosen began to go into detail.

"Candela. Lawrence, a merchant who once bought a dozen of my paintings in one go, a tycoon with a dozen large ships and an annual income of 50,000 crowns. ”

"By the way, my fabulous gallery is on his property."

"I've inquired carefully, this guy is a neutral, he has money, ships, and many trade routes to other places."

"As long as he is willing to cooperate with us, we can not only make a lot of money through him, but also buy materials without being confined to the Yellow Water Heights."

The Yellow Water Heights is too small and has few resources, so if you can open up the trade routes with the land of gold, the land will be vast at once, and you will make more money and buy more things.

Harrick slapped the table hard: "It's worth a try!" ”

Rosen immediately got up: "Uncle, let's go, let's go meet this candela for a while." ”

"Huh? Will he agree to cooperate? "Shabolai has no score at all.

"You don't have to worry about that. You can just go to the town next to you, and Harrick and I will take care of the rest. ”

Pesie and Lilith have collected a lot of information about Candela, but it is all hearsay peripheral information, and what the real situation is, you have to look at it face to face and find out what is true and true.

"Let's go."

After that, the three of them took a horse-drawn carriage to the dock area in the west of the city.

On the way, Rosen continued to introduce the rich man to the remaining two.

"I've checked, Candela is a member of the Lawrence family, and the Lawrence family is one of the three famous business families in Winterfell. The big backer behind it is the great refiner O'Brien. ”

Shabolai's face was stunned.

"No wonder the business can be so big~ O'Brien is one of the three major alchemists in the north!"

Rosen nodded and pointed to the staff of flowers hanging from his waist: "This staff is the work of Master O'Brien, and it is very powerful. ”

He continued: "Candela is just one part of the Lawrence family. The business he manages accounts for less than one-tenth of the family's total assets. ”

"And the entire Lawrence family, there are at least hundreds of big ships!"

"These ships run back and forth between the waterways of the Golden Land, reselling goods from city to city. It is said that even the imperial capital of Fort Romil has a warehouse of goods from the Lawrence family. ”

Harrick immediately said, "If we can get the help of the Lawrence family, then the materials for building the town will basically not have to worry." ”

Xia Bolai spread his hands: "These businessmen are the most shrewd, how can they help you for no reason?" ”

Rosen nodded: "Uncle is right, businessmen are profit-heavy and ruthless, and if you want their help, you must come up with enough chips." ”

"Fortunately, I still have some chips in my hand."

Harrick's eyes lit up: "Rosen, are you going to sell the paintings to the entire Golden Land?" ”

Rosen laughed, "I have that idea, but first, let's listen to me and talk about Candela." ”

After the two of them were concentrating, he continued to tell the information about the target.

"Candela is a person who loves beauty the most, and he has raised hundreds of beauties in his mansion, and he is surrounded by a crowd of flowers every day when he gets up."

Harrick on the side listened with some envy, but he immediately shook his head vigorously.

"It's not good to have too many beauties. Whether such a day is happy or not, I'm afraid only he knows. ”

Shabolai almost drooled with envy: "Do you need to say this? It's even more enjoyable than living in heaven! ”

If he wants. No, he swore that he would never think about it.

Raising his hand vigorously and patting his forehead, Shaporé forcibly interrupted his reverie.

Lawson waved his hand: "Okay, don't interrupt, listen to me." ”

"This guy is still a full-fledged mage, and although his mana is not very strong, he knows a few good spells, and he has a strong interest in learning new spells."

Harrick shrugged his shoulders: "Hmm~ Then this guy must have spent a lot of money on spells. ”

Rosen laughed: "Yes, indeed." ”

"I've heard that he once spent 50,000 kroner to buy himself an official mage certificate, and he also spent 10,000 kroner on other mage's fame stunts."

Harrick immediately understood, and also laughed: "Rosen, why don't you sell him a few powerful hands?" ”

Rosen simply shook his head: "Not for sale." My spells are all life-threatening, and they are not easy to learn. He can't learn strongly, and it would be a pity to toss himself to death. ”

According to the intelligence, Candela was originally not valued in the family, and did not make a career until after the age of thirty, and then began to really learn spells, and belonged to the self-entertaining type of amateur.

Spells are his hobby, but his spell-casting ability is miserable.

This kind of person, giving him real things is harming him, but also because he is a half-hung mage, he is easy to be fooled in spells.

The three of them chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the mansion of the wealthy Candela.

The house was so big that it took three or four minutes to walk half a circle around the stone courtyard wall outside in a carriage.

When you walk to the main entrance, you will see a huge and delicate mermaid sculpture fountain standing at the door, and behind the fountain is a solid steel gate.

Xia Bolai exclaimed: "As soon as this gate is closed, plus this tall courtyard wall, it is simply a fortress in the city." ”

He hadn't found out that there was such a good place hidden in the docklands before, but when he thought about it, he was relieved.

He lived in Mochizuki Garden when he was a teenager, spent most of his time practicing martial arts, and later became obsessed with women, how could he look at a businessman?

There were two guards at the gate of the mansion, and Harrick walked up to explain the situation, and one of the guards turned and entered the house.

After about five minutes, the guard walked out, followed by a scantily clad young beauty with a bewitching figure, a delicate face, and snow-white skin.

The beauty bowed and said coquettishly: "Three distinguished guests, the host is affectionate, please come with me." ”
