Chapter 800: Lisa's Good Reputation
The tavern is not big and the dΓ©cor is very basic. Dipu and Pixiu sat down at an empty table and asked for two glasses of ale.
Since it was daytime, there were also few drinkers in the tavern. There were three people at the next table bragging, and the whole tavern was filled with their muffled drinking words.
"Two of you! I'm going to buy a shop in this Blackeye City this time. One of them took a glass and took a sip with his tongue open.
"You're so optimistic?" said one of them in surprise, "although it makes a lot of money, it's too chaotic here." It's okay to have a knightly order from the Holy See, but there are filthy orcs in the private army here, and the others are still thieves in the plains. Not only that, but the caravans here are often popped up with orcs. Maybe there will be a war when, aren't you afraid of losing your money?"
The man from before smiled proudly: "That's why the shops in Blackeye City are cheap! But in my opinion, the cheap time won't be long, and it will soon go crazy." Originally, even if it was cheap, I would definitely not be able to afford it, but fortunately, the kind Lady Lisa introduced preferential conditions, may the God of Light bless her, if I don't seize this opportunity, I am afraid of lifelong regrets. β
But the other person still persuaded him: "Have you calculated? How much more can you make after buying a shop?" Although Blackeye City is building a new city, and there are indeed many business opportunities, most of the business is occupied by local big merchants, and we small businessmen who run errands just make a fortune, and we may not be able to do it in a few months. It's better to be flexible now. β
When Dipu heard that it turned out to be a small businessman who had come here to do business, he immediately became interested and interjected: "How many are you! You are businessmen? Little brother, I'm also here looking for business opportunities, can you ...... the black eyes An introduction to the situation here in the city?" Dipu shouted to the tavern owner: "Boss, add another glass of wine to everyone, count it on my account!"
These small businessmen are quite enthusiastic. So the seats of several people were merged. And the one who wants to buy the shop is even more interested. He really thought that Dipu was sent by a certain trading house to investigate, so he was a good teacher: "This little brother, this black-eyed collar used to be a wild place, although there was some business, but if you don't bring hundreds of guards, you won't dare to come here at all, maybe you will die at some point." But now, the water source here has been solved, and the population has suddenly increased to hundreds of thousands. Especially law and order. At least it's safe to get to Blackeye City. Big projects such as building cities, building military camps, and dams here, like the luxury business of the nobles here, certainly don't have our share. But people here always need firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and there are a lot of business opportunities in small businesses. β
"I'll tell you. I'm not afraid that you will compete with us for business. I've inquired: now the entire Sunset Plains have been subordinated to the lords here. How many people are there? at least millions? And I've heard that Magic Lake Island is even more lively to the west. But it's too chaotic over there, and you need to go through the plains. Therefore, if our hearts are not black, we will do the business of Blackeye City. If there are still shops in the city, you can do some resale business. I said, you two, why don't you also scrape together some money, and let's just buy a bigger shop?"
This is what I said. Let the one who persuaded him hesitate. He thought about it for a moment, and then asked the man who had not spoken, "What do you think?"
The man seemed to have made up his mind, and he immediately replied, "I have already mortgaged the house in my hometown and borrowed some of it." If this is as Lady Lisa announced. You can take out a part of the loan from the black eye, and I'm ready to fill up the loan. If you want to buy, you can buy bigger, and the lot should be better. I'm also bullish on this place. And also believe in the safety here. I heard that the lord was a descendant of Master Pradona. β
"Huh?" the one who asked didn't expect this to be the answer. He was amazed, "You're like that." Aren't you afraid of losing your money?"
"I'm ready to move here, just to be optimistic about this place. "The one who was ready to make a big deal showed his determination. Then he asked the owner of the tavern. "I said, boss, you're a local, you should be more familiar with the situation here than we are. You should be optimistic about this place to open this tavern, right?"
The tavernkeeper laughed a few times, "Thanks to the kind-hearted Lady Lisa, I have this place to make a living. The small shop is mainly for entertaining customers, so please take care of it in the future. Although the business is so-so now, I believe it will get better and better. β
"A toast to Lady Lisa!"
"May she always be beautiful and kind!"
β......β
In the toasts of the crowd, they all drank a large glass.
Dipu had an unexpected surprise, but he didn't expect that letting Lisa take care of the house at that time was really doing the right thing, and now Lisa's prestige is so high? He proudly raised his eyebrows at Pixiu, wanting to show his face in front of Pixiu again, so he struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Lady Lisa you have been talking about, is it the lord's wife? Is the lord here quite merciful? Guan doesn't care about the lords...... And what about us merchants?"
"Of course!" said the merchant who spoke first at once, "and since Lady Lisa has married, she has built water conservancy, reclaimed wasteland, encouraged commerce, and collected taxes fairly. Especially here and over there, Sequoia Collar, Grenville City to the east, and I heard that there is also Sunset Plain, all the toll taxes are all paid at one time, and will not be levied repeatedly, which is the most beneficial for us small merchants with no background, otherwise we will not be able to compete with those big merchants at all. I heard that she is the young lady of the old Marquis Grenwell's family, so she has such a good policy. β
"Very good!" of course, Dipu did not hesitate to praise his wife, "She is quite capable!"
And the tavern owner was also interested, and he interjected: "Not only is she capable, but Madame is also quite beautiful. Especially she is kind and kind. As you can see, all the people who have opened up the wasteland by the roadside are war slaves. I heard that those people were all rebels who had participated in the rebellion of the Black Flag Army, and they were captured by the lord lord. When they sent it, they were all shocked, and there were hundreds of thousands. If it were in other places, such a war slave would definitely be worse than death, and if he could live for five years, he would have a long life. However, Lady Lisa worked hard to settle the house, deliver rations, and distribute the land so that they could live and work in peace and contentment. Especially since every child can go to school. If you have the talent of a magician or a knight, it is a turnover. God of Light, such a good lady, it is really the Father who gave us the black eye. β
"Hahaha!" Dipu was even more proud. These are all their own arrangements, and they have won such a good reputation. At this moment, he was even a little fluttering.
But then, the style of painting suddenly changed...... (To be continued.) )
