After returning to Uxhall this time, Russell finally got a chance to recuperate, which is really rare.
Nowadays, the kingdom's war is at an advantage. King Haraus X's super-large-scale troops have already reached the enemy's Dak Fort and Shiko Village of the Kugit Khanate.
The enemy army is busy with this battle and must be very exhausted, and they will definitely not have time to take care of Russell.
As for whether the negotiations for Valkyrie Tianyan are going on and whether they are going smoothly, Russell will not consider this issue now. After all, who cares? The top priority of labor and management is to develop Uxhauer!
It took a total of 5-6 days from this trip to returning safely. Everyone was exhausted that night when they returned home, so they went to bed early and put everything to the next day.
So when Russell woke up again and the early morning sunlight shone on his bed and grilled his butt, a whole week had passed.
We have ushered in a happy collection time again!
Drassel silently communicated with the system before everyone got up, and when they woke up, he had to use magic to explain everything...
System, let us collect it!
At this time, the system complained: [You have had enough sleep, but I am still fucking sleepy.]
But complaints are complaints, it still operates and works as usual, rain or shine.
[Uxhall and its three subordinate villages collected a total of 5,300 dinars in gold coins this week. Congratulations, the grape operation is going very smoothly. With your remaining money, you now have a total of 8,000 dinars.]
Very good, very good. I want to praise this little brat, the businessman Manid, for sure he did not disappoint me~
Drasel thought to himself: For the remaining 2 villages, build watchtowers and training grounds, and then recruit level 2 soldiers to all 3 villages.
[The construction is successful, and the remaining 2 villages have obtained the "Detection 1" and "Coach 1" skills.]
[Successful recruitment, you have obtained a total of 9 level 2 Swadian soldiers. After deducting the recruitment and construction costs, as well as recent food expenses and employment fees, you still have 3,000 dinars left.]
Russell was quite satisfied with these. He took another look at the general situation of the troops:
[You have 9 level 2 Swadian soldiers, no one is commanding them, and they are on standby.]
[You have three level 5 Svadia Iron Knights, with Xiao Ming as the captain.]
[You have 10 level 4 tavern mercenary knights, with Xiao Nan as the captain. 】
[You have 4 level 2 taverns hiring veterans, with no one to command them, as gatekeepers in the town of Uxhall.]
[You have 3 special characters, Dragon Mother Safiya (friendliness 42), businessman Manid (friendship 55), and Nayantulu among the captives. 】
Uh-huh, seeing his army grow stronger, Drasel was in a very happy mood.
[System prompt: You are happy, but I am still very sleepy. If you have anything else to ask, hurry up, or I will be offline.]
Damn it, can you stop being so lazy? Show me the general status of the character again, and then you can clock out, okay~
[Reputation value 180, honor value 12, title "Firebird Knight", bah bah bah, title "Turkey Knight", bah bah bah...title "Flame Knight". 】
[Current equipment column:]
[Ordinary linen headscarf]
[Ordinary linen clothing]
[Ordinary leather boots]
[Ordinary leather gloves]
【Strong traveling horse】
[Special Weapon, Sword of the Wolf King]
[Evaluation: I don’t work so hard for you, I do it for readers with data obsessive-compulsive disorder, as long as they are satisfied.]
Okay, you go to bed after get off work. Hearing firebirds and turkeys again made Russell very angry.
Everyone would be angry. It took a lot of effort to get a title that sounds very cool, but only to be teased until now...
After briefly washing up, Russell went out of the bedroom to have breakfast with everyone.
During breakfast, he said: "After you fell asleep last night, I used magic to build the watchtowers and training grounds of the remaining two villages. Now our defense system is more complete."
"Really, that's really great! The villagers will definitely be able to live a safer and happier life than before. Baron, you are so kind~" Safiya responded happily.
"But the price of using magic is that it will consume a lot of money..." After saying this, Russell looked at the businessman Manid who was drinking mushroom soup.
Everyone also followed his gaze and looked at the businessman Manid.
He couldn't help feeling uncomfortable all over and almost choked. After swallowing the soup in his mouth, he said slowly:
"Well, my distinguished master, I think the grape business is running smoothly. You should have collected a lot of dinars..."
"Hey, my God of Wealth, as I said just now, the price of using magic is that it will consume a lot of money."
"You've done me a favor, Baron. I'm not the God of Wealth, I'm just an ordinary businessman."
"I think you are the God of Wealth, you are the God of Wealth! Let's do this, I am a very reasonable person. Manid, I will give you 3 days, and you can think of a way to make money."
Russell used the mantra of Valkyrie Tianyan, and suddenly felt that this sentence made sense, and it was actually very useful.
"Hmm... Do you think we should expand the grape business?"
"No, Manid, you have to know that grapes are not a luxury product after all."
After swallowing a mouthful of bread, Russell continued:
"Now we sell at a high price just because there are not many of this kind of fruit in each kingdom. If our supply volume becomes large, but there are so many people in the kingdom, the demand will be so much, which will cause our prices to gradually increase.
Only when it goes down can it be sold! Besides, others will be able to plant it sooner or later, so continuing to expand is not a good business model.”
Safiya was in agreement with the Baron's words and echoed:
"Besides, if it expands, the villagers in our three villages will be too busy. The current situation is almost the limit."
[Reward: Wisdom 1, your achievements in business are really much better than fighting.]
Before businessman Manid could object, Russell continued:
"Manid, there is no need to persuade you any more. I will not expand the grape business, and I don't want the villagers to have to work so hard. You are also a caring person for the villagers. I hope you will think about it again and think of a way to make money.
"
"I understand, my noble master, then I will go and get busy." After hearing these words, the businessman Manid also agreed in his heart, so he got up and left, closed himself in the door, and began to think hard.
