"Master, someone from the Manbach Town Port Administration just came over and issued a notice asking us to move the Castle to the east."
The housekeeper Goda knocked on the door of the experimental secret room, walked in and said respectfully.
Li Yinguang put down the reagent bottle in his hand, frowned and asked, "Why do you want to move to the east of the port?"
Butler Godar shook his head: "It seems that we need to make room for the important 'Iron Armored City'. The people in the administration did not tell us the details. Not only us, but all the armored cities parked at the port must be moved!"
Make room?
Li Yinguang nodded: "If others move, we will move too."
A weak iron-clad city like the Castle has no right to challenge the management of Manbach Town. The best option is to be honest and obedient and not to thorn in the side.
Although there is only one 'Z3 type' smelting furnace that is about to be scrapped, it is not a problem for the 'Castle' to move slowly!
In fact, the truth about the 'Castle' is not without its flaws. Old man Zhou from the Black Heart Grocery Store bought three scrapped 'Z3' smelting furnaces from the Iron Armor City. He was a businessman, and he hung the 'Black Heart' on it.
It's on the signboard. I guess as long as someone pays a high enough price, they can still buy the inside information of the Castle.
Li Yinguang's views on Zhou Shanren were never positive or negative. Whether he was giving charity in the slums or opening a black-hearted shop, it was probably his business strategy. There is no distinction between enemies and friends in the business world.
In accordance with the requirements of the port authority, the "Castle" slowly moved to the designated location.
It was approaching evening. Standing in the command room of the Iron Armor City and looking towards the port, one could see that almost all of the Iron Armor City had been moved to the east, leaving nearly two-thirds of the west and central positions reserved.
While looking outside, he asked the housekeeper Goda: "There were no mistakes in the delivery of the second issue of the newspaper today, right?"
Butler Goda shook his head: "Master, please rest assured that there was no mistake. The distribution was completed by noon. Three thousand newspapers were distributed on the streets, and the other seven thousand were all delivered to shops, residential buildings, and returned to the Manbach Town management department.
And a lot of them were sent to the lord’s mansion.”
Li Yinguang nodded: "Has the sample report of the third issue been released?"
"Because we are communicating with the 'Goblin Artisan Shop' about the supplement, it has not been completely decided yet, but don't worry, the sample newspaper should be delivered soon. Printing tonight will not delay delivery tomorrow morning!" explained the housekeeper Goda.
"good!"
Li Yinguang looked away from the outside. He couldn't tell what the Port Authority wanted to do now: "How is Alma?"
The housekeeper Goda smiled honestly: "The mechanical prosthesis has been installed. After two days of treatment and training, except that the person is still a little sluggish, there is nothing serious about the rest!"
Li Yinguang looked at him and asked: "Being responsible for the printing of the 'Manbach Town Tabloid' or managing the brewing affairs in Ironclad City, which of these two tasks do you think is suitable for Alma?"
That's right, I was just asking for his opinion. After getting along with him for a few days, I felt that Goldar was not the kind of careless owner. As a person around him, he could almost come into contact with everything big and small on the Castle.
It doesn't matter how much Li Yinguang trusts the housekeeper Goda. Isn't there nothing he can do about it? He only has so many people under his command, so what can he do if he doesn't trust him?
In this case, try not to have any doubts. As the saying goes, don't doubt the people you employ and don't use them. Moreover, there is nothing to be picky about the performance of the butler Godar.
"Master, you make the decision!" Steward Geda said respectfully, without making any objections to Li Yinguang and acting cautiously.
Li Yinguang said with a smile: "I told you, we will be a family from now on." After a slight pause, he continued: "How about letting Alma supervise and manage the brewing in the Castle Iron Armor City!"
Compared to the housekeeper Golda, Li Yinguang actually wanted to drive Alma away because Alma was a bit too insidious and cunning. In layman's terms, she was vicious, and people were told to be wary of her all the time. But
You can't do that. If you really drive Alma away, the hearts of the people in the castle will be dispersed.
In the evening, in addition to the sample newspaper to be published in the third issue, I also brought back thousands of kilograms of 'sweet grass vines', which were collected in the wild by a girl named Xiaoman from the slum.
Li Yinguang first took a look at the "Manbach Town Tabloid" and found that both the layout and the text and pictures were well done.
Out of curiosity, I asked: "Is the third issue of the sample newspaper also produced by Zhibai Pavilion?"
Steward Goda said: "Yes, master, but he requires two silver ox coins as compensation for each issue of sample newspaper."
Li Yinguang said with a smile: "Tell him, if he stays, I will give him ten silver coins for each issue of the newspaper. Well, at least he must stay at the 'Manbach Town Tabloid' for one year!"
"Master, isn't ten silver bull coins a bit too much? He is very happy to quote two silver bulls in every issue." Butler Goda hesitated and said.
Li Yinguang thought for a moment and knew that giving too much at once can easily lead to ambitions. He nodded: "Then let's compromise. As long as he agrees to stay in the newspaper and plan the newspaper for us as editor-in-chief, we will give him five dollars per issue."
Silver Bull!”
"yes!"
Butler Goda nodded and said nothing.
Let alone five silver cows for each issue of the newspaper, even with an income of five silver cows per month, you can live very well in the town of Manbach.
Cut the 'Sweet Grass Vine' into powder with a machine, put it together with the juice into a large sealed container, add the prepared distiller's yeast and flavor-enhancing yeast for fermentation.
At the bottom of the castle, Li Yinguang met Alma.
"……Owner!"
Alma's eyes were cold. After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her face and shouted to Li Yinguang.
Li Yinguang shook his head: "You are no longer a slave. From now on, you will be responsible for managing the brewing. You all have your own basic new water every day. If you make money from brewing, you will be rewarded accordingly."
In response to Li Yinguang's words, Alma just nodded and did not show much excitement or happiness. However, she also knew that the Castle was no longer the Castle before, and she was no longer the hostess of the Castle.
Whether she wants to accept it or not, this is the fact!
As for encouraging Golda to seize the Castle, it is a bit unrealistic. It doesn't mean that she doesn't have the ability, but what will be the use of seizing the Castle?
Sell?
There was only one smelting furnace left that was about to be scrapped, the deck was as thin as paper, and there were still so many people to feed in the armored city.
She also thought about leaving, but where could she go?
Go to the town of Manbach and start a new life?
Abandon Godard and go back to finding a better man?
Alma really thought that the housekeeper Golda had feelings for her, but she didn't necessarily like this cautious man with no courage.
But she is pregnant...the baby belongs to the housekeeper Golda. This chapter has been completed!
