85_85536 "Munitions?" Hearing William say this, Charlumi was a little interested: "What munitions? ”

"No, it's not full body armor. In fact, we don't have the budget to buy something that is so expensive and impractical. William shook his fingers and said so.

"Huh...... I don't remember, I appointed you as my treasurer......" Charlumi muttered quietly. But of course, she just muttered.

Although Xia Lumi usually seems to be so rude and willful. But in fact, people are actually very sensible. Forget about small things like playing chess and other games. But if she really encounters a big event, an important and critical matter, she will not cause trouble for William.

But of course, it's one thing that she won't cause trouble for William, but it doesn't mean that she will help William wholeheartedly. After saying two words. After discovering that the arms William was talking about, there was no carved hollow and gilded full-body plate armor, no forward gems on the weight ball, and no sword with a shark skin swallowing scabbard, Charlumi was not interested, and said, "Then forget it, you can go by yourself." I went to sleep in my room for a while. ”

"I'm going to sleep again. William said casually.

"Hmm. So Charlumi replied casually.

"It's snowing in the last few days, and you can't move, and you eat so much every day. After eating, go to bed. Eat when you go to bed late. Be careful to get fat. ”

So Charlumi grabbed a chess piece without hesitation and threw it at William, saying something like "You want to take care of it?!"

William grabbed the piece casually. Then he casually threw the chess piece to the maid next to him, and continued:

"If there really is nothing to do, how about going to take a look at the Wen Jiàn report? In the past ten years, the accounts of the Celsk Counts have been in a terrible mess. It's hard to figure out.

In addition, there are plans for the development of fields, water conservancy construction, the implementation of the four-nursery rotation system in the fields, and the implementation of new agricultural tools and farming systems. It is expected to be carried out at the time of spring planting next year. Iron materials needed, and manpower to repair the waterways in winter. Then there were changes to the tax system, changes to the law, the training of new standing troops, the recruitment of knights, and so on......

There are so many things that I can't do alone. ”

"Ahhh......h It seems that he doesn't want to help William anymore - but it's no wonder. But if this eldest lady could be diligent even a little, the official duties of the Chersk Countdom would not have accumulated to such a degree.

"Okay, okay......" William sighed, "Then you go to sleep." I'll take care of everything else. ”

Hearing William's righteous words, Charomi felt very embarrassed for a moment - after all, she was the real master of the Chersk county. William managed the county well, and in the end she benefited the most. And the way she looks, it feels like she's quite sorry for William......

However, when Xia Lumi thought about it again, she felt at ease.

"William and I will definitely get married in the future. So Chersk is also a dowry. So sooner or later, it's all his stuff. ”

"What did you think of to laugh so happily?" So William inexplicably saw Charlumie laughing stupidly, and then couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, nothing, just a few funny jokes that came to mind. Xia Lumi was naturally embarrassed to say what she had thought before. So I found a random reason.

"Really...... Whatever. William replied noncommittally. This disappointed Charlumi slightly, though she didn't want William to find out what was going on in her heart. But at the same time, she wanted to make William curious, and then asked her about it. William's casual attitude made her feel very unhappy.

"Then that's it. So, William stood up and continued, "You can sign this document." ”

"What is it?" asked Charlumi.

"It's the text that entrusted me with full authority to handle this arms trade. William replied.

"Don't bother. Won't I just leave it to you to deal with?" asked Charlumi strangely.

"That said, though. But if there is no evidence, the other party will also find it strange. William replied.

"Hmm...... Otherwise, I'll go with you. Charlumi thought for a moment, then said.

"Don't you sleep?" asked William.

"It's okay to disrupt your schedule once in a while. Charlumi said, "Think of it as a pastime." ”

"Okay. William nodded: "But don't talk nonsense." Bargain and inspect the goods, so that's fine, right?"

"Well, no problem. Charlumi nodded, and agreed. But then, she felt a little strange: "You can talk about business?"

"Of course. William nodded.

"I've never seen you use it. Charlumi was curious: "Who did you learn it from?"

"I read it in a book. And then here. William nodded his head as he said this: "It's okay to think about it a little." ”

"Megalomaniacs. Charlumi muttered unpleasantly.

"Whether it's megalomania or not, you'll find out after a while. William was noncommittal about Charlumie's claim - he had the ability to read by the mind anyway. In the era of commodity economy in his previous life, there was naturally no shortage of knowledge about bargaining business. It is not impossible to cobble together two enlightenment textbooks on economics. And in this era, William feels that his level is enough.

"Next, just gain some more experience. Then even if I don't become a nobleman, I will definitely make a profit if I am hungry as a businessman. With such a confident thought, William and Charlumie went to the living room together.

The businessman they were going to meet was from the United Province of Porosque in the north. It was a country with a very strong commercial atmosphere. The marinas near the Porosque Sea are extremely busy day and night. A complete trade network of several kingdoms running by the Hanseatic Merchant League, which radiated across the coast of the Borosque Sea, as far as the Briton Islands and the Kingdom of Asturias, gave the small confederation of free cities infinite vitality.

Thanks to wealth, contacts and industrial productivity, the United Province of Porosk became independent. The City Guard, built with a lot of money, and a large number of standing mercenaries who paid for their lives, ensured the independence and autonomy of this special "country". At the same time, his attitude of absolute neutrality, as well as his attitude of making peace with the outside world, not expanding his territory, and pursuing only commercial interests, also allowed him to maintain a transcendent position in the disputes of the nations.

At a time when the vast majority of countries still maintained an agrarian economy, the Porosque people's existence was naturally extremely important. The merchant aristocracy, mayors and lords of the city, elected by the city councils, were equally superior to the ordinary nobles of other traditional kingdoms. At the same time, the nouveau riche merchants, who had no family traditions and no hereditary aristocratic status, also had a status comparable to that of ordinary nobles in Porosque, the status and privileges of city councillors.

Although the merchants in other traditional regions were generally dissatisfied with these nouveau riche who had bought their nobility with dirty money. But dissatisfaction alone does not change the problem that these merchants, the nouveau riche, are on par with the average aristocracy in terms of international status.

If this time the caravan of the Porosques was led by their big boss himself, then even if Shalumi saw him, he would have to be polite - of course, although the Chersk county was rich, it was not enough to let the ruler of the merchant group come in person. What came here was just the middle class of a merchant group.

Unlike the situation where the great merchants could be compared to the great nobles. The social status of the middle and lower class merchants is still no different from that of the classical era hundreds of years ago. Under normal circumstances, it is usually the stewards and stewards of the castle who are in charge of receiving him. And Charlumi herself was not interested in seeing him.

Now, of course, things are different. William and Charlumie have a place where their powers need to be leveraged. But this does not mean that William and Charlumie will treat him with equal etiquette.

In fact, just before, when Charlumie pulled William to play chess, the merchant had already arrived. By the time William and Charlumie were finally ready to meet him, the young merchant named John had been waiting in the parlor for nearly an hour
