…

After explaining the matter in the town square, Gervais did not stop here. The weather was too hot, and he was quite satisfied with the selection method of Laurie and Audry. Gervais got on the horse and took it with him.

His little maid Anna slowly returned to the castle.

Gervase was in a very happy mood at the moment. The supplies sent to him by Gandalf had arrived. Viscount Lanny's camp was temporarily destroyed by him. The ice-making business was about to start. The recruitment of soldiers was also a certainty. Next, he just had to wait for the territory to flourish. He felt that

Your dream of becoming a landlord and making money will be getting closer and closer to you.

"Young man, don't be complacent and keep working hard! Haha!" Gervais rode his horse to the vestibule of the castle and burst out laughing, which attracted the attention of the guards and servants in the castle. They didn't understand how his lord could behave so well.

He laughed. I didn't see the lord talking to anyone just now.

"Lord." When Gervais's horse came to the front yard, a servant was already ready. The moment Gervais stopped the horse, he came over and stabilized the horse and waited for Gervais to dismount.

"kindness!"

After Gervais dismounted, he nodded to the neat manservant and walked towards the inner castle.

"Sir, you are back. Dinner is ready. Do you want to start eating right away?"

When Gervais walked into the inner castle, Thomas immediately rushed over after hearing the news, bowed to Gervais and asked.

"Well, let's eat. I'm a little hungry too."

Because I got up relatively late this morning, and it was already afternoon when the celebration banquet started, it was already time for dinner in just a short while. During the celebration banquet, Gervais only focused on talking with Na Shen, and went out without eating anything.

After walking around for a while, I was really hungry now.

"Okay, my lord!"

Knowing that Gervais was going to dine immediately, Thomas did not dare to neglect, and immediately saluted Gervais and quickly ran into the kitchen to inform Jimmy that the chef was about to serve the food.

"Thomas, I have a few things to tell you here. You should go and do it tomorrow!"

The long table was now filled with delicious food. While eating, Gervais explained to Thomas who was waiting beside him.

"Sir, please give me your instructions."

When Thomas heard that Gervais was going to assign him a task, he immediately took out his notepad from his arms professionally, his ears perked up and he waited attentively for Gervais' next words.

"Tomorrow you go to the seaside mountain village and inform the village chief there that I am going to start purchasing oysters and let them prepare them. They will need them in about a week. The quantity is tentatively set at 1,000 kilograms. There are also lobsters and crabs, the quantity is 100 each.

, you can let them find it and keep it on the beach first, and I will send someone to pick it up after a week. As for the price..."

Gervais thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Golden oysters cost one silver coin, and two lobsters and crabs cost one copper coin. You tell the village chief that if the farming is busy recently, you can let the elderly and children pick it up.

I will buy these seafood such as golden oysters and lobsters for a long time. Everyone in their village can take turns to pick them up in the future. However, there is one thing to note. Only the big ones are caught and the small ones are released. If I know who catches the small ones,

Go and eat, and punish them with ten lashes."

In this world, if a serf works for others, the average salary is three copper coins, and some even only two copper coins. 1,000 kilograms of oysters sounds like a lot, but this thing is quite heavy, and the seaside has been flooded, so it takes no effort to pick it up. As long as

More than ten or twenty people could pick them up in one day. Big lobsters and crabs were a bit more difficult to catch. They had to be caught in the sea, so Gervais gave them half a copper each.

Although the price offered by Gervais is not very high, it is definitely not low. You must know that even if the serfs are willing to work as slaves for 2 coppers a day, there is no place for them to work. The Storm Territory is full of hardships, and there is nothing at all.

Industry needs workers.

"Remember? Thomas."

After saying that, Gervais had almost finished his dinner, so Gervais put down the knife and fork in his hand. Yura behind him immediately handed over the handkerchief obediently. Gervais wiped his hands with the handkerchief.

Then he continued to look at Thomas.

"Sir, remember this."

"Very good, the next step is to recruit three people who will learn how to cook golden oysters and seafood from Jimmy. These three people need to know good character and must have family members. After they learn well, I will send them to other nobles to sell golden oysters.

, and are paid to teach the noble chefs how to cook golden oysters and seafood. This candidate is very important, so you need to choose it yourself."

"In addition, there is also the purchase of garlic. You can take the garlic to the town and three villages tomorrow and show it to the villagers. Let them gather all the garlic in one place and plant it well. I will also use the money to collect it.

.”

"Okay, sir, don't worry, I promise I won't let you down!"

As Gervais spoke, Thomas recorded it. After the recording was completed, he bowed to Gervais again and made a guarantee.

"Well, very good, Anna, bring your little notebook and show it to me. Is there anything else that needs to be done immediately?"

As a lord, although the territory has a small population, everything has to start from scratch. With so many things to do, he may sometimes forget some things, so he asked the maid to bring a small notebook with him in the past two days, thinking of

The things that need to be done are classified one by one according to the priority, and Anna is asked to record them on it, so now he needs to see what projects he has on his behalf.

"Sir, here you go!"

The well-behaved Anna has been standing behind Gervais. After hearing Gervais's words, she quickly took out a small notebook and handed it to Gervais. If she wasn't wearing a maid uniform, she would be a complete little secretary.

Gervais took the small notebook from Anna's white little hand, which still had the faint scent of a girl. Gervais moved his nose, and then opened the notebook.

"Look at my memory, Thomas, please wait a moment while I go to the kitchen to take a look!"

When he opened the small notebook, Gervais slapped his head and almost forgot about his great wine business. Today, his mind was occupied by seafood and ice.

After saying that, Gervais hurriedly got up and ran into the kitchen. He had been making wine for a while, and the weather was so hot now, so it should be about the same. As long as the taste was good, he would buy a large amount of grapes and start making wine in batches.

Once the quantity is increased, we can make 233-year-old gold wine. After ten or twenty years, we may be able to sell a bottle for several gold coins.

Gervais hurriedly ran to the kitchen, came to the wine jar, and opened the soil and paper used to seal it.

"Oh, it tastes good!" The moment Gervais opened the jar, the sweet smell of wine hit his nostrils from the jar. This familiar smell made Gervais tremble instantly.

"Good thing, now it depends on how you taste it. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
