"Sir, if this is the case, we will lose a lot!" After hearing the contents of the transaction between Meng Han and Francis, Alice couldn't help shouting. Whenever money is involved, especially when it involves her own interests, Alice will
I can't help but behave like this.
"It sounds like we are suffering a lot, but for us, it is just less profit, not a loss." Meng Han smiled: "We have no manpower, no connections, and no sales, so we can only do this."
"But, sir, we could have earned more gold coins by doing this." After Alice heard Meng Han's answer, she realized that the lord was not just a hothead to please the inspector, but had carefully considered it.
. But I always feel as if I have lost something, which is very uncomfortable.
"The question is, do we have enough gold coins to survive now?" Meng Han directly laid out the problems faced by the territory: "If there is no money from Francis, next month, we will have to collectively starve."
"But, but..." But after a few moments, Alice didn't know what to say, but if she didn't say it, it wouldn't be enough to express her sadness, which was like a piece of her heart being poached. It was very uncomfortable.
"No but." Meng Han smiled: "Do you think we still have the manpower to do these things? If we do it, will we only accept one commission from a noble at a time? Dozens of people do a project, and then one
How many pieces can you make per year? How can you make a lot of money this way?"
"We can squeeze the money, and we can always find available manpower." Alice immediately figured out a way. The days when Huangsha Town could earn three silver coins a day without food or water were over. There was no reason to do business now.
It's so good, the town is so prosperous, but there's no reason why it can't survive.
"Okay, even if we can find available manpower, even if we can race against time to train them, then I can still try to get an order from the Earl for the time being." Meng Han smiled and continued to ask Alice: "But
, have you ever thought about what kind of project we are going to do?" We had not communicated with the two women in advance. It is very normal for them to have such emotions. Meng Han was also very hard-working when explaining.
"Isn't it the water supply and drainage you mentioned, sir? It looks very simple!" Alice watched Meng Han direct those people to build a water tower, then dig a place to lay pipelines, and finally concentrate the drainage into a tank.
Just put it in the cesspit, it's not complicated, that's why she said this.
"You mean, build a bathroom for those nobles outside their homes?" Meng Han laughed. This is the difference between those who have seen real modern architecture and those who have not: "Let our respected nobles
, I used to go to the toilet in the room, but now I have to go out?"
Alice had never thought about such a complicated matter. She was reminded by Meng Han's words and froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.
"The reason why I pushed it to Francis is because these things will be built in the original rooms of the nobles, which will involve the transformation of the entire noble rooms." Meng Han still smiled and looked at Alice and asked softly.
: "What should we do if our people slightly damage the noble gentleman's original room during construction, or accidentally break some valuable artwork? Compensate? Can we afford the compensation?"
Alice had never considered this issue, so she simply thought that modern bathrooms were easy to install. However, she never expected how difficult it would be to add such facilities in a building without prior planning for water supply and drainage.
.I have not considered how to solve the problem once something goes wrong.
"Moreover, if one or two of the people we are looking for are killers who have other ideas for those noble gentlemen, and they hurt or kill someone, what should we do?" Meng Han said nervously.
Then, another more serious question was raised: "To pay for your life? Use my life to compensate, or yours? Or Grace's?"
When Meng Han said these words, his tone was slightly tough. Some sweat was already pouring on Alice's head. She had indeed never considered these issues, but simply felt that the lord had done all the work of making money.
His Excellency, Viscount Francis, only left himself the smallest part of the profit, which was a bit unbalanced. Now I realize that making money is really not that easy, especially making money from nobles.
"Grace, Alice, although we have made some money recently, you must remember that no matter how much money you make, you need to take risks." Meng Han warned his two housekeepers very seriously:
"Within the risk range we can bear, we can do such a business. However, once the risk exceeds the risk we can bear, then we should resolutely not do it. That would be courting death."
"For example, we can build taverns and hotels in our territory. Because I am the lord, and the risk we have to bear is, at most, someone getting drunk and going crazy and fighting, or even being robbed. We can afford these.
"Meng Han is still educating the two housekeepers tirelessly. He does not want them to cause trouble because of lack of greed or unwillingness to suffer losses in some aspects.
"But, sir, isn't it easy for you to make money from the elves?" Alice accepted Meng Han's warning, but she still seemed a little dissatisfied and couldn't help but muttered.
Meng Han had good ears and the lord's mansion was small. Meng Han heard Alice's words clearly. To the elves, Meng Han didn't want to say anything more. He just smiled faintly and said to Alice: "If you go and ask
Gavin, you know how easy it is for me to make money from the elves."
"If it's hard to make money from the elves, adults don't have to make it!" Alice immediately became curious and asked quickly. Grace remained silent, but her eyes showed the same meaning, as if she wanted to know.
Why does Meng Han still do business with the elves?
"Because if you don't do it, you will die immediately." Meng Han smiled bitterly: "I am not ready to die yet, nor do I have the courage to die now."
Listening to the lord's explanation with a wry smile, Alice playfully stuck out her tongue and said nothing more. She just directed people to take away this batch of gold coins and store them in a safe place. With these one thousand gold coins, it can definitely be done.
Let the territory be sustained for a long time, and even the White House will hopefully start construction.
After persuading the two reluctant housekeepers, Meng Han finally got through the current difficulties. He also made a seemingly good ally, although the current relationship was only based on business cooperation. However, Meng Han
I believe that as time goes by and everyone's interest chain becomes more and more entangled, this relationship will become more and more stable. To put it bluntly, even if Meng Han loses some and makes less, it is still equivalent to using
Use these gold coins to invest in the future.
If you are weak, you must have an ally who can rely on or help each other. The inspector is a very good candidate. After the business was negotiated, Meng Han was very relaxed. Under the personal massage of the two little maids, he was leisurely.
They are enjoying the life of a noble. But in the luxurious camp built by the inspector's own guards, it is a different story.
"You mean, his magic shield blocked half of your sword?" His Excellency, Viscount Francis, now looked serious and was talking to his guard captain, the guy who tried to kidnap Meng Han outside the model room.
"Yes, sir!" the guard captain replied in an equally serious tone: "There are three magic shields in total, which should be different magic shields from three series. I didn't put in much effort on the first two, but the third one directly blocked me.
The sword blocked it. I used 80% of my strength at that time, but I couldn't break through the magic shield."
"A magic shield that 80% of your power cannot break through? What kind of magician should be able to release it?" Sir Francis was very surprised, even more surprised than when he heard that Meng Han could also release magic.
"At least it should be the magic shield released by the junior great magician, so this is possible." The guard captain was very confident in his own power, and he was also very sure when he made his judgment. After thinking about it, he seemed to think that something should be
After speaking, the guard captain hesitated: "In addition, sir, the two magic shields in front seem to be instantaneous."
"An instant magic shield?" Mr. Francis stood up on the spot: "That's impossible. He's just a magic outcast, and there's no way it can be instantaneous." He had just come to this conclusion, but he thought of Mr. Austin from the Magic Academy.
There is no reason for a magician or a great magician to care so much about an abandoned magician. Is it because of this?
"My subordinates think so too." The guard captain completely agreed with the Viscount's judgment: "Even if the magic shield is to be cast instantly, it must at least have the cultivation level of a magister. The lord of Huangsha Town is so young.
, absolutely impossible. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Viscount Francis was extremely anxious now. As soon as he heard that there were other possibilities, he asked anxiously. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want Meng Han to have such strength, otherwise, his cooperation with him would take up so much
Being big and cheap is never a good thing.
"Perhaps this lord's magic wand is very advanced." The guard captain seemed to have some understanding of magic, so he directly expressed his doubts: "Maybe there are two magic shields sealed on the magic wand. As long as he activates it,
Magic power can be used instantly."
"No, this is absolutely impossible." A soft voice directly answered the guard captain. Following the voice, a beautiful maid who had just taken a shower, with wet hair and half-dressed clothes appeared next to the viscount and leaned against her gently.
Lord Francis stretched out his hand and held a fragrant body in his arms. He greedily smelled the fragrance of her body, while his hands were groping around the beauty's body wantonly.
The guard captain turned a blind eye to this scene, and there was no strange expression in his eyes. He was just used to it. Because he liked the feeling of that bathroom, when the Viscount asked these people to camp, he directly had people camped around the model room.
, after resting at night, you can use the facilities inside more fully. The beauty just came out of the bathroom to take a shower.
