85_85536 "So, one last question. William said, "Why did you abandon your old profession and come here to apply?"

"......" the young man Paul opened his mouth, but said nothing. It feels like it's "hard to say" or "can't tell".

I wanted to answer, "Can I not answer this question?" But the young man Paul still didn't have the courage to say this when he faced William.

"That, that ......," said the young man, Paul, as if giving up, as if he had given up, as if he had given up on himself, before William became impatient again, "Mr. Sears has never paid me a single salary. In fact, Mr. Sears took me for his slave. At this point, the young man Paul plucked up his courage, raised his head, looked at William, and then said with a little excitement:

"I don't want to give him a lifetime of work for nothing. Yes, my father borrowed his debt. But in the past few years, I have helped him multiply the value of his flock several times. I should have paid off his debts, but he still treated me like his slave!

He obviously doesn't know anything, he doesn't understand anything. Just because his father left him some land, and a flock of sheep. Add to that the fact that a poor man like me works for him, and he will be able to spend extravagantly every day, eating meat and drinking wine every day. And play with women!

And his two nephews, who are obviously just like him, are stupid. But just because he came from a better background, he was able to step on my head. All the servants flattered them, all the maids wanted to climb into their beds! This is not fair, it is not fair, it is not fair, Mr. William!

After saying this, young Paul was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red. Part of it was because I was too excited, and part of it was because I was scared.

Would he have made William's impression of him worse if he said such radical words, or would he simply make the other party angry. Let the other person think that he is a restless, dishonest person, and then reject himself?

When Paul thought of this, he felt terrible—he had skipped work and had come here to apply. At this moment, he should still be herding sheep. If his "master" knew what he was doing, then he would definitely lose even his current job. When the time comes, he will be homeless...... To make matters worse, there is a good chance that Sears will take revenge on him, just as he did against a few serfs who offended him.

In this case, William's words sounded to Paul no different from the gospel of the Lord.

"You're done, Mr. Paul. ”

The other could scarcely believe his ears - it was not until William repeated his words again that young Paul became excited again.

Yes, he was able to pass it, and after a brief investigation, William had decided that he wanted to give the young man a chance.

"But don't be in a hurry to rejoice. William looked at the young man who looked like he was about to faint with joy and said, "It's only temporary. It's just a stopgap measure. You can't read, and I haven't forgotten that. At the end of the day, I really wouldn't hire an illiterate person to be my bookkeeper or a clerical officer.

I'll give you a chance, but it's just a chance. During this period of time. You'll study with the other clerks I've hired, with the priests. During this time, you will not only have to complete all your studies, but you will also have to learn at least 300 basic, commonly used Gothic words. If I can do that, then I'll hire you officially. But if you can't, then please leave. ”

"Well, Eun. Got it, got it. Although William's tone was more stern. But young Paul nodded happily and hurriedly in response to William's words. Then, I left with a thousand thanks.

In this way, William's recruitment of clerks in the Chersk county was successfully completed. This is the end of the new recruitment.

Of course, that's not to say William didn't have anything to do. On the contrary, William, who is now on the rise in his career, has to be busy with many things every day. It's long gone.,In the winter.,Every day with Xia Lumi and nothing to do leisure.。

Of course, in fact, Charlumi has been very busy lately. As William's closest confidant, William was eager to teach Shalumi everything he knew. So that she can grow up quickly as an important help for herself. In addition to studying various homework assigned to her by William (mainly mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and nature in junior high school), Charlumie also had to be trained as a civil official, in management and agriculture, economics and finance.

That's it, that's it, Xia Lumi has even shortened the time to practice swordsmanship a lot lately. Busy and anxious. Naturally, I don't have the heart to kiss me like this and that with William.

In fact, in recent times, Charlumi has been a little scared to see William. This is mainly because after every meeting, William does not fall in love with her, and he does not chat or play games with her. Every time we meet, I will keep a strained face and ask her how she is doing her homework.

Of course, if she didn't do her homework well, William wouldn't have beaten her up or scolded her like a traditional teacher. But the look of hating iron but not steel, as well as the expression and extension of "why are you so stupid", still made Xia Lumi feel very uncomfortable.

After giving an account of what happened to young Paul. William looked at the time. Two o'clock in the afternoon. There were still two hours left before the time he had set for Charlumi to study on her own. Then, during this period of time, what you should do is naturally to meet your "old friends".

That is, John the Merchant.

In the past, when the outcasts army was at its worst, this guy didn't have anything to do. This is mainly due to the escort of his elite mercenary troops. It is precisely because of this war. This arms dealer can be said to have made a lot of money this time. In addition to the messy goods brought by his own caravans, he also received a large number of contracts from various nobles in various parts of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia.

This guy has gained such a big benefit, so he is naturally very happy. And the opposite. As soon as I think about the next time, I will be able to face a large number of weapons and equipment from this bastard.

Thinking of this, William's mood was naturally not very good.

"Looks like you're making a lot of money this time, John, my friend. William smiled and said to John, the merchant, who had been waiting in the parlor for about half an hour.

"Ah, small business, small business. It's just a hard-earned money. Merchant John felt awkward. He only felt that William looked at him as if he were slaughtering a lamb. The whole mind is to think about where to go under the knife.

"Hehehe. Yes. William smiled casually, not taking his words seriously. Still, he followed the words of the merchant John: "So Mr. John, are you interested in getting involved in some 'big business'?"

"Ah, you mean ......" After hearing William say this, John the merchant immediately felt a great deal of interest. William's words, the first thing he thought of was before, he thought, William guessed the war business system. Indeed, that is something that can make a fortune.

Of course, William didn't have that in mind.

Although it is said that the money does come quickly, it is indeed very cool. But that's not a good model that can be developed over a long period of time. Or in other alien territories, William can have a good time. But in Mazovia, in the whole human world, he did not want to set it on fire with war.

So John the merchant was destined to be disappointed if all his eyes were on making war money.

"Actually, that's not what I'm talking about. So, William shook his head and said.

“...... Isn't it? If not, then what are you talking about?" Hearing William say this, merchant John couldn't help but ask.

"It's this. William put his document in front of the merchant John: "I want to build a new commercial town in Chersk. ”

"Yes...... What is this......" Hearing William say this, the merchant John naturally felt a little disappointed. While subconsciously muttering: "The geographical location of Chersk is not too good." Developing a business may not be successful," he said, reaching out and taking the document handed over by William. And then I looked at it.

William didn't answer either, just sat in his chair and looked at the merchant John with a smile. Then, I saw that the face of the merchant John changed from the other. The eyes are also sparkling. It's like seeing a big sum of money shining with gold.

Raising his head again, he looked at William's businessman John, and his voice was raised: "Mr. William, are all the policies you said about reducing and reducing the tax burden true?"

"Of course it's true. William nodded.

"Really?!" and John, the merchant, raised his voice one more level...... It was so big that even William was surprised.

It seems that he still underestimated the businessmen of this era, and they have a ...... favorability for profits and tax reductions.
