The two letters of appointment for the lords were issued by the Graystone Government Affairs Office. One was sent to Morrowind Province, and the other was sent to Rift Valley City. Because it was a formal document, a clockwork owl messenger was not used. Instead, Agent Nightshade was sent in person.

Delivery. Therefore, the Dark Night Veil Hall also functions as an official messenger.

"Master, the Valerius brothers and sisters request an audience." The housekeeper came to inform in person.

"Then we must meet." The lord smiled happily.

"Good day, my lord." The grocery store of brother and sister Lucan Valleris and Kemila Valleris is one of the oldest family businesses in Ximu Town. As the lord expanded Ximu City, the brother and sister also became

The respected Ximu squires were among the earliest batch.

"Good day, Lucan, Kemilla." The Lord greeted with a smile: "Please sit down."

"As you command, my lord." The "Ximu Town Love Triangle" between Swann, Farndal and Kemilla has no ending yet.

The problem lies in the expansion of Brookwood City. Farndal has become the chief campfire hunter, and Swann is the senior tavern spy of the Lord. Not only do they receive high salaries from vassals, but they are also surrounded by women who want to embrace him. The old man

The words are very good: "After three years in the army, a sow competes with Diao Chan." In the past, Ximu was just a self-sufficient valley town, plus Delphine, the proprietress of the Sleeping Giant Hotel, and Sigli, the wife of the blacksmith Arvo

, the female miller Gerdo, no matter how beautiful Kemila is, she can also be ranked in the top five.

Now... think about the 3,000 families of Azarudeng who are one in a million.

"Is there something wrong with the grocery store?" the lord asked, full of old-fashioned atmosphere, which relaxed the tense atmosphere in the hall.

"It is indeed about the grocery store." Lucan Valleris immediately started chatting: "Thanks to you, sir, the business of our brother and sister's grocery store is getting better and better. Although it has been expanded and renovated many times, it is still

It cannot accommodate the increasing number of guests. Many travelers from the skyline come here to buy even just some 'gadgets' to entertain children."

"So?" The lord has already guessed it.

"So, we want to follow the example of the Khajiit merchants in the city and change the grocery store into the 'Golden Dragon Claw Chamber of merce'." Lucan Valerius asked nervously: "Is it okay, sir?"

.”

"Why not?" The lord nodded happily: "Just give the trading license of the Golden Dragon Claw Chamber of Commerce to Alicia. As long as it is my territory and possessions, you can establish shops and engage in legitimate business."

"Thank you, my lord." The brother and sister expressed their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, you two." The Lord Lord was also very happy: "By the way, Gerdot's purchase of Half Moon Mill is not just to expand his business, right?"

"Gerdur & Hod want to open a mill association (Gerdur & Hod Mills Association)." Kemilla Valleris replied: "In addition to the Half Moon Mill, she and Hod are also planning to buy a hydration mill. I heard that the Great Lakes District

And all the mills in the land where the White River flows are their acquisition targets."

"Is the proprietress of the Hydraulic Mill called Gilfre?" The Hydraulic Mill was built at the confluence of two rivers, and Wu Chen frequently visited it during his old adventures.

"Yes, sir. The proprietress Giuffre used to employ five mill workers. After the civil war began, all the workers ran away. Then almost every able-bodied person was fighting, and she couldn't harvest the nearby timber alone. So.

Jifulei often said something: Without a well-functioning mill, who will make arrows for our soldiers? If the legion's order cannot be completed, it will have to pay high liquidated damages, so the mill can only be sold reluctantly.

." Kemilla Valleris spoke of the difficulties faced by female millers.

"So that's it." The Lord Lord already had an idea: "Tell Jifulei that if there is no other place to go, please come to my territory."

"Okay, sir." The two brothers and sister left with satisfaction.

The lords were happy to see the wealthy squires in Ximu City acquire competitors' industries or expand their own business scale. This was also the beginning of Ximu's commercial expansion.

In the past, almost all the taverns, mines, lumberyards, and mills in Skyrim were monopolized by the Cyrodi people from the empire. From a purely commercial perspective, the province of Cyrodiil, where the imperial capital is located, is undoubtedly the most

A place where wealthy capital gathers. Especially the Serodi people who are good at business. The business license they hold allows them to travel throughout the empire. Even if they encounter barriers, they only need to pay a small tax rate.

With the outbreak of great wars and civil wars in Skyrim, the imperial merchants in Skyrim Province fell into operating difficulties. Many of their previous high-quality assets were increasingly unable to make ends meet due to various reasons. Just because they saw the opportunity, Goldo led the

Ximu squires began spontaneous business mergers and acquisitions one after another.

In addition to Half Moon Mill and Hydration Mill, Goldot also wants to acquire Anga's Mill and Heartwood Mill.

The reason why the lord knows these inside stories is because not long after the Valerius brothers and sisters left, the female miller and her husband Hood came to seek help from the lord.

"Sir, we need a loan." The female miller generously explained her predicament: "Because almost all millers require full payment and do not accept installment payment. Except for your gray rock gold mountain, no one can pay it in one go.

Sex took out so many gold coins."

"No problem." The lord understood the female miller's concerns: "Rolting Gold Bank will provide you with enough low-interest loans and provide transaction guarantees for your mill association."

"So interest?" This is what the female miller is most concerned about.

You must know that the two directors of the "Metal Gold Bank", the dragon-slaying demon sword Irelles and the nightingale Kallia, used to run the blood money business that the dark elves are best at. Just the word "blood money"

, you know how high the interest rate of the loan is. So much so that since the day the "Rongjin Bank" opened, it has been deserted and few people have visited it. Even the most senior Ximu squire like the female miller was daunted and did not dare to

Easy loan. It shows how daunting the "blood money" of the dark elves is. The lord just took this opportunity to dispel the concerns of the people.

"How about one thousandth per year?" The Lord offered an extremely low interest rate.

"My lord, is there a limit to the amount of this 'angel loan'?" The female miller was surprised.

"Of course." The lord needs to consider everything: "Let's take 70% of your existing assets as the upper limit." The lord's smile is harmless to humans and animals.

"Wait a minute." The female miller keenly grasped a loophole that was not a loophole: "If I buy Half Moon Mill, then..."

"The value of the Half-Moon Mill will also increase your quota limit, which is the joint quota of the two mills." This is what the lord expected: "But I have a suggestion. You can buy half of the share and let the original mill owner

Join your association instead of kicking them away. This will be very beneficial to your future business. After all, many mills are family businesses like yours."

"Okay, my lord." The female miller's eyes showed caution for the first time: "To be honest, there is a difference between you and the adventurer I remember who idled around all day long and spent three days fishing and two days drying nets.

There are many differences.”

"...Humans will grow up one day." The lord was also full of emotion.

"Have you grown up again?" The female miller's unexpected words made the Lord's face full of embarrassment: "I remember you were very big before."

"I'm very happy to see you, Gerdo." The lord looked helplessly at Hood, the husband of the female miller who was pretending to be naive. This kind of teasing between men and women, which seemed to be flirting and repeated dirty words,

It is also the daily operation method of the mill. Especially in the icy and snowy Skyrim Province, many times you can only talk about it (otherwise it will really freeze into an ice sculpture?). And everyone knows that the lord has not made peace with the good family.

Women's habit of having affairs.

"Sir, I am the same way." The female miller smiled and winked.
