"No, Thomas, keep your eyes open for a longer time, there is a second time after the first time."
"Now those caravans are willing to come to Storm Territory for profit. I believe that for the first time, they will realize that Storm Territory is not actually dangerous!"
"Over time, as long as our Storm Territory is attractive enough, they will be willing to stay, rest and consume!"
"Do you know why Baron Quinte next door deliberately delayed delivering the salt to the caravan after it arrived?"
"That's because as long as he keeps those caravans for one more day, his White Salt Town can earn several more silver coins from those caravans. There are at least forty or fifty people in a caravan. Everyone needs to eat and drink, so they have to spend money to buy it!"
"Look at the shabby appearance of Wheat Leaf Village now. Even if Storm Territory is really safe, they won't stay overnight. Why? Because living in those thatched huts is actually no different from sleeping in the wilderness."
"So, it is necessary to build a stone house, and it must be built beautifully!"
"In addition, after these stone houses are built, I plan to take over Quick's family members, so that Quick and their family can serve with more peace of mind!"
"As for gold coins, the production of White Sugar is now on the schedule. When Baron Boris's fleet arrives in a few days, we will receive hundreds of gold coins!"
Nalant did not blame Thomas for questioning the construction of the stone house. This castle steward can be said to be conscientious and has been making plans to repair the castle these days.
It was even mentioned once last night, but Nalant is planning to wait for another month until the next wave of White Sugar money is received before starting.
Because castle repairs are a bottomless pit, not to mention the walls and the various rooms in the vestibule, just the five or six halls on the first floor of the inner castle will cost a lot of gold coins to repair and decorate.
For example, gold and silver utensils, crystal chandeliers, copper candlesticks, and luxurious street stalls and exquisite tablecloths are all luxuries.
Although these things are needed, after all, he cannot wrong himself once he is reborn, but he has to take his time with these things. Anyway, he is not in a hurry now, and will have plenty of time to enjoy them in the future.
"Yes, sir!" Thomas saw that his master had made up his mind, so he could only respond respectfully.
"Well, then you can discuss it with Pete Leather Boots and the craftsmen and carpenters later. The construction of the stone house must be carried out while ensuring that other production in the territory is normal!"
Nalant's territory has too few people and even fewer strong laborers. It might be okay to do some small projects, but building dozens of large stone houses is a bit of a stretch.
"Yes, sir!" Thomas responded again, but this time he paused and continued, "Sir, there is another thing I should mention, I don't know whether I should mention it or not!"
"You said it!"
"Sir, the number of servants in the castle has increased now, and after several days of training and teaching, I found that there are two male servants who are smarter. Do you want to choose one of them as a personal servant?"
After saying that, Thomas looked at his lord carefully. When Baron Boris came to visit two days ago, a valet was always with him, so it was convenient to have him give orders.
However, my master can only control himself, and I often need to arrange things in the castle, so I cannot always follow him and serve him.
Especially the dressing and washing in the morning and evening, my adults have been doing it myself for more than a month.
If this matter spreads, it must be due to his incompetence as a steward.
"Well... just wait a minute!" Nalant is still not used to finding a grown man to serve him.
"But sir! If you have not had a personal servant to serve you, then it is the housekeeper's dereliction of duty!" This time, Thomas couldn't let his master 'suffer' any more.
"Alas!" Nalant sighed.
This Thomas was educated by the elite servants of Tulip Castle, and is very capable, but he also follows the rules of noble etiquette, even to the point of being paranoid.
"Forget it, let's ask Lilia to be my personal servant!" Nalant finally compromised. However, he chose a compromise and found a personal maid. At least this would not offend him.
"Sir... this is not in line with the standards of aristocracy... and, Lilia will follow the convoy to Tulip Castle tomorrow..." Thomas was a little dumbfounded.
"What's wrong? I'm not married yet. I'm not afraid of gossiping if I use a maid as a personal servant. Thomas, you can choose for yourself. Either you don't need a personal servant for the time being, or you can choose Lilia!" Nalant said in a strong tone, "Also, after the team comes back, just let Lilia start serving me!"
"Yes... Sir!" Thomas finally gave in!
"Okay, then it's settled, you go make arrangements for the team!"
Finally, Thomas was driven out of the room by his lord with a grimace.
As for the caravan, this is the caravan that Nalant is preparing to send to Tulip City for the second time.
Among the items sold by the convoy this time were perfume, salt and dried fish, and their main purpose was not to sell goods, but to purchase pig iron or iron ore.
With the start of projects such as logging and building stone houses, Storm Territory's demand for iron tools will gradually increase, so Nalant is preparing to purchase a batch of iron ore or pig iron to make up for Storm Territory's shortage of iron tools.
In addition, didn't he get more than two hundred kilograms of Warcraft meat, so taking this opportunity, he planned to give dozens of kilograms of Warcraft meat to his cheap father.
Although this father belongs to the original owner, he is connected by blood after all, and there is also the matter of chasing and killing Aldin last time. No matter what, Nalant must respect him.
By the way, the sister also sent him the Flame Crystal that she was reluctant to use. Now she has dozens of Nalant, and she must return them.
Well... there is also Flower of Tulip. This time Nalant is also ready to thank you. Although she is just a little help, Nalant doesn't like to owe favors.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, when Nalant was practicing in the back garden, a system prompt suddenly came in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission of rescuing two seriously injured guards. The mission rewards have been distributed!"
"Yes! It's completed? But what does the distribution of the mission reward mean? Will the territory crisis prompt happen next, or will it happen in the future?"
Nalant stopped waving the long sword in his hand. Completing this task made him a little uneasy.
Thinking of this, Nalant simply stopped practicing and went to the vestibule.
Sorry to all my beauties, I just got home now because I had something to do in the morning, so the update is late!
