Sun Festival.

As the last day of summer, this day also means that the hottest day of the year has passed. The upcoming autumn is an extremely busy day for the town. Many crops are about to be harvested, and during the harvest season

Several groups of rallies will be ushered in. This is a day of money and achievements. Farmers will make their wallets full, and then spend the winter safely, and then usher in the beginning of another year.

But today there was a loud knock on the door. Brad pushed the door open and saw the round cheese mayor and farm owner Mai standing in front of the door.

"Happy Sun Festival! Will you be here forever?"

Brad was slightly startled when he saw the mayor, and immediately nodded to let the two of them in.

Arrow was going downstairs at this time, and he was a little surprised to see these two people appearing together. However, he was not surprised when he saw the smile on the face of Mayor Round Cheese.

"Hey! Boss, happy Sun Festival. Why are you willing to come to my place today?"

Round Cheese walked in carefree, sat down on the bar chair, and said with a smile: "Didn't you want me to help your guild make more recommendations before? Haha, no, I'm here to introduce business to you!"

Coco also came down from the second floor. When she saw the mayor, she immediately shrank her neck and wanted to go back. But Round Cheese saw her first with sharp eyes and immediately said hello: "Coco! Happy Sun Festival! Is your guild doing anything for the festival?"

Ai Luo greeted Coco to come down. He entered the bar, expressed his distinction between host and guest, and said with a smile: "Yes! There is a 10% discount on task commissions during the festival! Boss, how is the business recently?"

The Mayor of Round Cheese had a happy face. He glanced at Mai Yi who was admiring the reception hall over there, leaned into Airl's ear and whispered softly: "In the past few days, my business has been three times better than before! I

I don’t know why, but I think your method must have worked! I want to thank you so much!”

After passing the mayor level, Ai Luo knew that Coco could already establish a foothold in the town, and then he smiled and said: "No, I would like to thank you for introducing me to a job."

After Mai Yi admired the building, he walked to the bar and sat down, saying, "President Ai Luo, I have done your business before and it feels good! And this time the mayor strongly recommended it, so I will entrust you with it too!"

"It's easy to talk about."

Brad poured a glass of water for the mayor and Mai. Arrow continued: "Are we going to destroy the slimes again this time?"

Mai Yi waved his hand: "No, no, no, it's harvest season. My wheat harvest is very good this time! But it's a bit too tiring to harvest. That woman in my family is useless. In the past, I always invited the town next door to me."

My brother came to help, but this time my brother went to the capital, so there was no one to help."

Ai Luo nodded: "I understand, is it right to entrust the harvesting of wheat? Yes, we will take over. How long do you want us to help you finish harvesting?"

Mai Yi: "I hope there will be quite a lot of them within a week, is that okay?"

Ai Luo and Mai Yi estimated the size of the wheat field and the workload, nodded and said: "Okay. We can help you complete it faster and within three days. Let me check the price. This kind of task is not dangerous. It should be 5 copper coins.

.But today is the Sun Festival, so I’ll give you a 10% discount, just 4 copper and 5 iron coins.”

Mai Yi frowned obviously: "So expensive? Can it be cheaper?"

Ai Luo immediately shook his head, showing a very embarrassed look: "Sir, before you asked your brother for help, you must have to work in the fields by yourself, right? But this time you only need to watch with your family.

Yes, the price is very comfortable. You can use this time to do other things, isn’t it great?”

Round Cheese also helped: "Yes, yes, the Mermaid Song Guild's work efficiency is still very good. Didn't you say that you have entrusted it before, and the results were good? This time it must be very smooth! Trust me once, Mayor

When did I lie to you?"

With the mayor's help, Mai Yi finally nodded: "Okay! Deal!"

After the commission was established, Ai Luo immediately helped Mai Yi sign the commission contract. At the same time, he called Coco and Brad and said, "Look, the mission has appeared now. Let's go to work after breakfast."

Brad took the power of attorney and nodded confusedly.

But Coco seemed a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he said: "Brother, President, um...can I not accept this task?"

Brad put down the power of attorney and said: "President, if Keke doesn't want to go, then I can do it alone. I often helped with farm work when I was in my hometown, so there's no problem in three days!"

Ai Luo's face dropped: "Why, why don't you accept the mission? You let your undead soldiers cut the wheat, and you only need to watch from the side. This is very easy for you."

Coco rolled up her robe and said timidly: "Because...don't I want to...read and write? I have been decorating the classroom these days...I originally thought I could start learning today..."

It turned out that this was what happened. Ai Luo put away the coldness on his face and smiled again: "Don't worry, you go to work, and I will teach you when you come back in the evening. Reading and writing are easy to get bored if you do them all day long, every day

It’s almost two hours.”

Coco nodded doubtfully.

Mai Yi, who paid the commission fee on the side, was an attentive listener and said: "President, do you still teach reading and writing here?"

Ai Luo rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a way to make money, and immediately said with a smile: "Yes. Not only does he teach reading and writing, but he can also help take care of the children. Mr. Mai Yi, I remember you have two children, right? If you can learn

If you can read and write, you can better help you settle accounts in the future, there are many benefits!"

Mai Yi's expression seemed a little moved, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "Well... I do want my son to go to some school, but there is no school in Pelican Town. I don't know a few words myself... If I can let my son

If you learn some knowledge, you can work as a clerk in a big town in the future, which is better than working in a field like ours all day long. Hmm...can I really send it to you?"

Ai Luo smiled and nodded: "This can be regarded as a kind of commission. After breakfast at eight or nine in the morning, you can send your children to my place. You can pick them up at four or five in the evening. They can take classes at my place.

, for fun, I will provide them with a lunch. The fee of 3 iron coins per child per day can be paid once a day, and if you pay on a quarterly basis, you can get a 10% discount. How about it?"

Napa pushed Ai Luo from the side: "(softly) Do you have that much time to take care of those naughty children?"

Ai Luo: "(Quietly) Now is the time to lay the foundation. To teach our members not to collect money, why not teach other children to collect money in the same way?"

Napa rolled her eyes at him: "I'm really obsessed with money."

Mai Yi did the math for himself and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes. Let that kid come here to learn some knowledge, or don't bother me too much. It's better than causing trouble at home."

Arrow: "What about your daughter?"

Mai Yi chuckled: "Girl? What kind of book does a little girl study? The more things she learns, the harder it will be to get married. I heard from my brother that the more people learn, the smarter they are, but if a girl is so smart, she will be

It will become a disaster! Before you get married, you will cause a lot of trouble to your family, and after you get married, you will cause a lot of trouble to your husband's family."

Having said this, Mai Yi glanced at Coco over there, leaned her head and whispered in Ai Luo's ear: "Also, I also suggest that you don't let this girl learn too much knowledge. The more she learns, the more she learns.

The less I will listen to you, the more likely I will cause trouble for you in the future."

Ai Luo smiled and said: "That's right... but I've also heard that those noble children like to marry girls who are educated and knowledgeable. I heard that this way the woman's family will appear to be well-educated.

, to make the husband’s family feel proud. Mr. Maiyi, do you think those noble and knight families will allow the future heir of their family to marry a well-educated woman, or a country girl who knows nothing?"

This reason was beyond Mai Yi's expectation, and he nodded thoughtfully.

Ai Luo took the opportunity to continue: "So, it doesn't hurt for a girl to learn something. Don't you hope that your son will go to a big city in the future? Maybe your daughter can go to a big city in the future and marry a wealthy family. Isn't that right?

Isn’t it also very respectable to you?”

Mai Yi laughed, happily.

He patted the table and said with a smile: "President, I heard that you are from Hanhai City, the capital, right? You are a smart person, and you can start a guild at such a young age! Okay, I listen to you

!I want my son and daughter to come to your school! They will study for ten days first!"

Ai Luo also patted the table: "Since you are my first customer, I will only give you 5 iron coins per day for your two children! Don't tell anyone else!"

The farm owner looked happy. After signing the second commission contract, he took Brad, Buffy and Coco away to work.

The Mayor of Round Cheese on the side leaned on the bar and sighed with a half-smile: "Business is still done by people in your big cities. Why do you people in the city have so many twists and turns? In the blink of an eye, two people

The entrustment contract is signed."

Ai Luo reached out and rubbed Napa who was lying on the seat cushion beside him, and said with a smile: "Not two copies, but three copies. Boss, there is still an unsigned commission between you and me."

"I?"

Round Cheese quickly waved his hand——

"No, no, no, I have nothing to entrust you with. You can't squeeze an old friend's money like this!"

"What? I want you to help me go out and sell things."

Arrow poured a glass of water for Round Cheese again and continued——

"Aren't I running a school? At the same time, of course, the more students the better, the more money I can collect. Since there is no school in the town, I hope the mayor can help me publicize it more so that the children can

Children in the town can come to my place to take classes."

Round Cheese pinched his beard, his face still showed disinterest: "Then what contract do you sign with me?"

Ai Luo raised his cup and clinked it with the round cheese cup, and said with a smile: "Boss, have you forgotten? I just said that I want to provide lunch for those children. But I can't really provide lunch for so many children by myself.

Make it? No, you sell cheese pies here, right?"

The mayor's eyes finally widened! He pinched his beard and said with joy: "I see, that's it! How else can you city people know how to do business? Well, yes, yes, yes, yes!

"

Ai Luo: "Boss, look, I charge three iron coins for a child every day. Then I take out an iron coin and buy you a small piece of cheese pie. The child has a small appetite, and you have 2 copper coins for each."

Cheese pie is enough for an adult to eat three meals a day for four days, and one iron coin is enough for a child to have lunch. As long as there are more students coming to my place, your pie will be sold.

many."

"Take ten children as an example. It only takes you one hundred days to earn one gold coin. If there are twenty students here, you only need fifty days to earn one. If there are fifty children,

, you can earn 1 gold coin in twenty days! Look, will you sign this commission with me or not?"

In an instant, Round Cheese's expression suddenly changed from smiling to serious!

He looked at Ai Luo with an angry look on his face, smashed the cup in his hand on the bar, and said loudly: "What do you mean? President Ai Luo, what do you mean by this?!"

Now it was Arrow's turn to be stunned.

"Is this a matter of money? As the mayor of Pelican Town, do I seem to be a person who will do any evil thing for money?!"

He got off the bar chair, adjusted his clothes, wiped his mustache lightly, and said seriously: "This is all for education, for the education of Pelican Town! This is not about money at all.

question!"

"For the education and future of Pelican Town, and for those children, I have decided that I must let all children under the age of twelve in our town go to school! This is a major step to improve the knowledge level of our town and its future development prospects.

Favorable policies! Gold coins? How vulgar is it to talk about gold coins at this time?"

Ai Luo immediately put on a serious face: "Oh, why didn't I think of that before? It turns out that he is the mayor. He is thinking of the future of our town, our future! I believe that the children in the whole town will be grateful.

The mayor’s!”

Round Cheese still maintains that seriousness: "Well, all the children in the small town are my children. Naturally, I have to protect my children. For their health, I pay attention to their diet and supervise the production of the entire food.

The process and supply process are also things that should be taken for granted, right? Just do it!”

Arrow immediately took out a power of attorney and quickly wrote the contract on it. The Mayor of Round Cheese signed the large sum without even looking at it, turned around and left majestically.

The bustling mayor left, and the guild became deserted for a while.

Ai Luo exhaled and leaned on the table to relax a little.

"You made three businesses in one morning, and you still say that economics doesn't teach you how to make money?"

Napa turned her head away and looked at Airo with a look of disgust.

The president raised his head, took off his hat, and let his hair dissipate heat: "It takes me a few times to say this. We really don't teach economics to make money."

The cat snorted, flew to Airl's head, and stepped on the blond hair, which was soft and comfortable: "But you really didn't make much money. A child has three iron coins, and one of the iron coins is used for

Buying food, and on top of that, you have to take care of those children. It’s not a profitable business by any means.”

Ai Luo scratched his head: "I know, but there are short-term ways to make money, and there are long-term ways to make money. If a businessman wants to develop, he must be inseparable from local development. A small town that is ignorant and does not know how to adapt can you

Even if you give them the best product, they won’t buy it.”

Getting up, Aero put the power of attorney in the drawer, packed up the cups on the table, washed them, wiped them clean, and put them on the cup holder——

"Mai Yi has a saying that is right. Once people learn more knowledge, they will become more greedy. This greed lies in wanting to know more, wanting to get more, and wanting to create more.

.I teach the children in Pelican Town knowledge, and after a few years they will naturally use the knowledge to create more value. And workers who are smarter and better at work will also create more value for bosses like me.

Therefore, this can be regarded as an investment for me.”

Napa stretched out her hand and rubbed Ai Luo's hair, patting it here and there as if she had found something interesting: "How many years from now? Don't forget, you only have three years. Today is the Sun Festival, and the Holy Night Festival in three years' time."

That’s your deadline.”

Ai Luo shrugged and said with a smile: "Why, the short term is indeed a three-year goal. If I don't complete the goal, I will be in trouble. But what if I successfully earn 1,000 gold coins in three years? Doesn't it mean that I won't succeed in three years?

Let’s join the guild. Besides, the best way to control a family is to control the children in the family. If these children think I am great, then their parents will naturally think that our guild is also very good. If there is any entrustment, they will naturally do the same.

Come to us."

Picking up the broom, Ai Luo gently swept the floor of the hall.

Napa continued to lie on his head, looking at the girl with smooth blond hair, with a strange light shining in her eyes.

This girl is unlike anyone he's ever met before.

The guild she opened was completely different from the guilds she had known before.

Although her mind is full of money, this girl is able to think of a way to make money together, mutual benefit, symbiosis, and collaborative coexistence.

However, there is a three-year deadline on her.

What exactly does this deadline mean?

She kept saying that she was a girl from a poor family, but why was she able to graduate from Old Ivy College?

There are too many secrets hidden in her.

But now, Napa knew that while this girl was hiding so many secrets, she was actually a very competent guild leader.

"Oh, I almost forgot about the real thing."

The door opened and Mayor Round Cheese walked in cheerfully.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a figure slithering into the bar and grabbing the hats placed on the counter.

"President?"

"Hey! Boss, why are you back again?!"

Arrow put on his hat and stood up from behind the bar, panting heavily with a smile on his face.

Round Cheese was suspicious for a moment, turned his head and looked behind the bar to make sure he didn't see anything strange, so he didn't take it to heart: "Oh, I was so happy chatting with you that I forgot about it.

Didn’t I say I’d like to introduce you to a job?”

Ai Luo weighed his hat and said with a smile: "Isn't he Boss Mai Yi? Thank you for your introduction."

"No, no, no, it's not. I happened to meet Mai Yi at the gate. I came here because of other work."

Round Cheese sat down on the bar chair again and said cheerfully——

"This man came to our town last night. I heard he came from the capital to conduct geological surveys. I want to find a local tour guide to take him around, especially to the Changmian Mountains."

"I saw that he arrived very late yesterday. I thought you guys should be closed, so I asked him to go to the Unicorn Tavern to rest for a day. He should come to you this afternoon to introduce a job. By the way, this guy is

It’s quite a lot of money!”

Are you from the capital and want to investigate the Everlasting Mountains?

After hearing these two keywords, Ai Luo knew that his highlight was coming.

After exchanging pleasantries with Round Cheese and sending them off, Airl turned his head, looked at his guild, and nodded seriously.

"Are the people from the capital from the empire? It's the gold mine you mentioned."

Napa returned to the seat and raised her neck to look at Airl.

Ai Luo shook his head slightly, but then he laughed: "I don't know, but the target gold mine should be gone. From now on, we will officially start to visit that mine, and we must be fully prepared.
Chapter completed!
