It won't go on like this.Noah sighed and said, "In a few days, it will snow."
When moisture enters the warehouse, the grain will soon become moldy, and the rice is fine, but the wheat can't stand the storage.If it can't be sold, what to do with the grain that is about to spoil, Noah actually had the answer in his heart for a long time.Noah said: "Feed Diro some fresh horse grass tonight."
Aldrich did so, and he had a vague premonition that they were going to run away again.The next day, Noah was at the gate of the yard, putting a scale, and bags of grain were piled up behind him.Men can get 5 ounces of food in the morning, and women and children can get 6 ounces of food in the afternoon.You can't get it more than once, and you have to get it early Noah dragged out his voice, and said silently in his heart, when he can be late at the latest, it depends on how fast the city lord's reaction is.At noon, a group of able-bodied guards came to make trouble, and after Aldrich drove them away, the next day came the city lord's guard.The guards wanted to arrest Noah on the grounds that they were disturbing order in the city.Before Noah could react, the group of people who had come to receive food suddenly rushed up and stopped the guards.We can't let Mr.
Noah fall into their hands!
You demons!
Come on!
Are you in cahoots with the gentry, robbing us of our grain, taking the lost property into slavery, and now even killing His Excellency Noah?!
Mr.
Noah, run!
We will always remember you!
Noah stood up, pulled Aldrich and jumped on Dero's back, and left the city as fast as he could.From a business point of view, it was a complete failure, Noah didn't make any money, and the only gain was to become a wanted criminal in the Duchy of Green.Chapter 29 Aldrich is now running away with Noah, and he is actually familiar with the road.He loaded a bag of food on Diro in advance, so there was no shortage of food along the way.But they had nothing but this food.It's all my fault.They walked in the small town of the Kingdom of Suha, which was very different from the Duchy of Grimm, bustling and lively, with all kinds of goods on the market.Noah stared directly at the roast chicken on the stall and muttered: This incident tells me a truth, the plums that no one picks on the side of the road are really sour.No wonder no other merchants ran to the Duchy of Grimm, the only stupid person was me, he was so pious to the roast chicken that he prayed to the god of light.Aldrich couldn't stand it, he walked over, pulled out a silver dollar, and bought a roast chicken.Everyone is not good at something!
Aldrich handed him the hot roast chicken and said, "Let's try again after we go back to pay off our debts."
The smell of roast chicken came to his nose, Noah looked down and sniffed, stared at Aldrich and asked, "Where did you get the money?"
Aldrich: Well, when Noah first traded the stored salt and money for food, Aldrich had a bad feeling.He saved a little money early on to prepare for possible accidents.This is not a lot of money, just enough for them to rush back to the kingdom of Suha from the Duchy of Grimm.Noah didn't ask any more, he broke off the roast chicken, and said: Go back and have a look, the most important thing now is to pay back the money.I'm still not a good businessman.By the time Noah returned to Coldwind City, winter was over.The cold has not subsided.It took him more than a year to go from the Kingdom of Suha to the Duchy of Grimm, and he did one thing in a nutshell.Spent all the assets to buy a large amount of food, and then after a lot of hardship, transported to the Duchy of Grimm, and gave it to the civilians for free.And those grains can only make them live a few more days.It would be nice if they could survive the war just because of these few days.Noah and Aldrich stood at the gate of the banker Degar's compound, and after the guards passed the news, they let Noah and them in.Degar, a banker, is in his fifties and looks like a kind middle-aged man.He sat in his chair and was in front of a stack of reports from all over the country.As a banker, Degar's wealth is as rich as the sediment beneath the Sutaral River, and it permeates all walks of life.The merchants of the Suha Kingdom had a higher status, and Degar bought a knighthood from the king with gold, and everyone called him Count Degar.Count Degar should have his own territory, but it is rumored that Coldwind City is his hometown, so in his later years, Degar only wants to stay in Coldwind City to recuperate, and only the most important things will be put on his bookcase and decided by him.Count Degar, Gui'an.Noah and Aldrich greeted each other.Next to Count Degar stood two men, a handsome young man in a brown waistcoat, who was pouring tea for Count Degar.The other, cloaked, tall, thin, pale and serious, looked very taciturn.The young man leaned over and whispered beside the Count de Garre: These are Mr.
Noah, who had been introduced by the sage to borrow a hundred rare Canadian dollars from the bank, and Mr.
Aldrich, it is a pleasure to meet you.Count Degar interrupted his introduction, stood up and said: I heard that the two of them went to the Duchy of Grimm and finally returned, is there any good news?
The Count de Gard was very gentle and friendly, and spoke calmly and forcefully.Noah bowed to him, and then told him everything that had happened in the Duchy of Grimm.As you can see, we failed in business.Noah said.After hearing this, the Count de Gar said with a smile: "Mr.
Noah really seems unfit for business."
Therefore, the loan of 100 rare Canadian dollars cannot be repaid for the time being.Noah honestly said that one hundred rare Canadian dollars, equivalent to one hundred thousand ordinary Canadian dollars, is an unimaginable astronomical amount for civilians.After the agreed one-year period, interest will be added.The Count de Gard said, "I thought that Mr.
Noah would run away."
If you leave here, you don't have to pay off a high loan.Then he was wanted again, and Noah put away his look and said: I think that the foothold of a businessman should be integrity, although I am not a successful businessman, but for a person like Count Degar, I must treat him with integrity.And there is a sage who vouches for me, and I cannot under any circumstances trap Mr.
Sage in injustice.Count Degar listened to him continue with a smile.Before going to the Principality of Green, I used to buy a yard that sits near Green Ridge Square.Noah said solemnly: I hope to use that courtyard as a guarantee and borrow another hundred gold dollars from your bank.The handsome man next to Count Degar gasped slightly, and looked at Noah in surprise, as if to say that you also made such a request?
Noah looked at Count Degar calmly.Count Degar pondered for a moment, and asked, "I remember that Mr.
Noah had a very good horse, and if he could sell it to me, I would give him a hundred gold dollars."
Noah sighed in his heart, if he rejected Count Degar, then Count Degar would be able to reject himself as a matter of course.I'm sorry, but Diro is a family member to me.Count Degar said with some regret: In this case, I am not good at winning people's love, the one hundred gold Canadian dollars you said before Noah knew that eighty percent was going to be yellow, and he listened to Count Degar continue with discouragement: According to the regulations, you can't make a second loan to a guest who has overdue loans before, and I can't break the rules.However, I am willing to lend you a hundred gold dollars in my personal name, and we will be friends.Earl?
Although Noah was shocked in his heart, it was actually the handsome man next to Count Degar who shouted out.Count Degar glanced at him lightly, and then said, "Allen, you guys go out first, I want to talk to Mr.
Noah alone."
The handsome man named Alan left with the black-robed man, and Noah let Aldrich out.It's been a long time since I've seen such an honest and courageous young man as you.Count Degar raised the teapot and poured Noah a cup of tea: If you don't mind, can I just call you Noah?
It is a pleasure, Monsieur de Piaget.Noah said.The Count de Gar sat down and took a sip of his tea, his thick white hair and beard making him look in good spirits.He took ten rare Canadian coins directly from the drawer, and did not write an IOU or leave any proof.said that it was borrowed, but in fact the Count de Gar gave him a sum of money.Noah accepted the money and said sincerely: Thank you very much for your support.When he returned, he set up a tablet for the Count of Degar, wishing him a long life.Not everyone can make this trip smoothly.Count Degar has always liked to make friends, and Noah is now in trouble, and a little money can sell him a favor, and Count Degar is happy to do so.After all, for him, the most in his hands is money.If money is just piled up there, it's just waste.Letting money create value and obtain benefits is what Count Degar does best.He smiled and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Use the money to continue the business.Noah said: The Principality of Grimm is too far away, and although the estimated benefits are huge, there are too many variables.Next, I want to do business in some nearby places.The Count of Degar pondered for a moment and said, "Although it is theoretically possible, I don't think you are fit for business.Noah blinked: I want to hear it.It's not a matter of experience or wisdom.Count Degar said vaguely: It's still a little bit worse, what is the difference, and Count Degar is not willing to say more.The two of them chatted casually for a while, and the relationship became much closer, and then Noah asked, "What would the Earl do if he were in such a situation as me?"
Count Degar said: "I don't think that will happen to you.If I were going to do business in the Duchy of Grimm, I would choose to sell armor and weapons, and I would have already decided on a buyer before I went.Speaking of which, I do have a few friends in the Principality of Grimm, and I don't know how they are now.In the midst of the war, no one is an outsider Ah After chattering and sighing for a while, he looked at Noah's eyes and said with a smile: However, if I really have transported a large amount of grain over and can't sell it, Noah looked at him with a blank eye, slightly curly black hair on his white forehead, light brown pupils looked at him attentively and seriously, and he looked very well-behaved.Count Degar was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "I will hire a large number of people with grain.Guarding the grain?
Or let them help sell?
At that time, the grain was at risk of being burned by the local gentry.Count Degar shook his head: If you can't sell it, there's no need to force it.There is no garbage in this world, only people who don't use it.By employment, I mean employing more than 100 people.You have enough food, and Aldrich and you have enough to control them, so you can easily form a team.Count Degar smiled meaningfully: there is a gap in the current rights of the Duchy of Grimm, and as long as there is a gap, someone will fill it.With those people, you can go straight to the bandits, and even have free weapons and armor.An earl can only take twenty knights in battle, or more than a hundred, and you have enough strength to run rampant in that small city.Noah thought about it seriously and had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense.With those people and weapons, and food, what do you want to do next?
Count Degar said: A war-torn country is both a crisis and an opportunity, and a businessman is the one who is best at seizing opportunities!
Count Degar's voice was abruptly interrupted, and Noah turned his head to look out of the room, while Count Degar smiled a somewhat helplessly.It's my daughter, Evalia, who is here.The corners of Count Degar's mouth rose uncontrollably, and then the door was pushed open with great force, and a young girl in a long satin dress appeared before them.The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with long platinum-blond hair and blue pupils, a beautiful slender neck adorned with a pearl necklace, a long pink-gold dress with chains, buttons made of precious stones, and a round neckline, embellished with lace and emerald.The level of luxury of this body is difficult to match, even in the entire Suha Kingdom.Count Degar was actually dressed very modestly, but every inch of skin on his daughter, Efria, was decorated with the most luxurious ornaments.Noah narrowed his eyes, and the gold dust on his skirt was so bright that he was blind.Efriya, how did you get here?
The Count de Gar stood up, and said to his daughter gently: Aren't you holding a tea party with your friends?
It was so boring that I left.Efria casually coped: Father, are you busy?
Efria lifted her dress, and Count Degar stepped aside, and the handsome man named Alan sat down with Count Degar, his eyes fixed on Evria all the time, and his eyes were full of affection.But Efria didn't notice him at all, just as she didn't notice Noah.Everia, who was raised in the palm of Count Degar's hand, had a hard time paying attention to anyone other than herself.I'm fine.Count Degar said: What is the matter, Ivory?
Efria said with sparkling eyes: "Father, just now I was at the tea party, and I heard them discussing that there is a gem in the Twilight Lake, called the Twilight Lake.Father, I want this gem!
Okay, I'll call someone to find it for you.Count Degar agreed without hesitation.Efria jumped up with a shout of joy, her skirt fluttering, gems and diamonds clanging in it.She kissed the Count de Gar on the cheek and left cheerfully.The whole time, she didn't look at the others.Noah stood up and said, "Since the Earl still has something to do, I will take my leave."
After Efria left, Count Degar reverted to his calm appearance, nodded his head, and said to Noah: "It is a pleasure to talk to you, Noah.Noah saluted, turned away, and when he closed the door, he heard the Count of Degar talking to the handsome man named Allen.Alan, the Twilight Gem is up to you.Of course, it is my honor to make the young lady happy, but Alan said hesitantly: I heard that there is a very powerful monster living there in the twilight lake, and ordinary people are not its opponents, so issue a bounty order and find adventurers to do this.Count Degar said lightly: "What my precious daughter wants, even if it is a star in the sky and a crown on the earth, I will take it off and send it to her, understand?"
Chapter 30 When Noah came out, he sighed at Aldrich, who was waiting outside the door, and said, "It's good to be rich."
If you don't care about money, you will be much freer.Aldrich asks: What's wrong?
Noah took out a rare Canadian dollar and said, "The Earl has given me ten rare Canadian coins so that we can make a comeback."
He didn't write an IOU for this money, but I have to pay it back, otherwise when the time comes, it will be a great favor.
