Chapter 480: There Is Only One Chance

"Do you think that guy really has proof, or did he guess something to trick me?"

As soon as Jenn left, Vossos entered the chamber with his lieutenant, and then asked with a solemn expression. Hearing Vossos's inquiry, his deputy also hesitated for a moment before answering.

"I think it's fine, sir. We got in touch with them through a special channel, and they didn't know who we were, and they didn't care. Otherwise, Wild Fang wouldn't have been able to do this until now, and we've been very careful when we contacted each other, revealing little information. If you were to say that the lord had conclusive evidence of our collusion with the Wild Fangs, I don't think there were. It is likely that the young master's previous performance made him suspicious, so he came over to take a look at the situation. ”

"That is, he lied to us?"

"Quite possibly, sir."

"Well, I think so, he doesn't have evidence, I don't believe he can do anything to our lion minions! If he dares to do it, hum......... What about hands-on?! ”

Hearing this, Vosos's face also turned cold.

"Pass the order, let people be on guard, I will go to someone to talk about this, although that guy is a lord, but he can't deceive people too much, isn't the Sword Saint amazing? I don't believe he dares to kill innocents! Hmph, looking for trouble finding our lion's tooth head! I'd like to see what that bastard is capable of!! ”

"Then the Star Chamber of Commerce ......... over there"

Hearing the deputy's inquiry, Vossos hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Don't act rashly just yet. The people who ordered us to stay away from the Star Chamber of Commerce, and I don't know what that guy is going to do. Before things are figured out. Let someone else be the scapegoat! ”

How the lion's minions tossed, Jenn didn't care. Anyway, his words have already been thrown there, a week at most, and they will not wait for the expiration date. If the lion's minions don't admit it, then Jenn won't give him a second chance.

And for Yunique, she doesn't have a second chance either.

As the next president of the Star Chamber of Commerce, Yunecle is still very clever, and she knows quite well that whether she can make the Star Chamber of Commerce strong again depends on whether she can catch up with Jenn's line. If it goes well, then the rebirth of the Star Chamber of Commerce is just around the corner. It may even be better than before. Such an opportunity, Yunique naturally does not want to miss it. So after that, she took a few of her subordinates to Passus, and then went up and down to investigate.

And after the investigation, Yunique had to admit that the lord was really not exaggerating at all, there was almost nothing in the place of Passus, all luxury goods were transported from outside, and only some food and meat were produced locally, and this kind of featureless thing was not competitive at all, not to mention, it was not enough to supply it to the local area. There simply are not enough quantities to trade. As for the mineral deposits, poor Unicole and a few men climbed up and down the Passus for several days, but found nothing but a pile of broken stones, which were of the most common kind, and had no value even as building materials.

As Jenn said. The whole of Passus has almost only input but no output, and since Passus is mostly mountainous, the fields that can be cultivated are also limited......... All right. Anyway, after turning around, Yunique finally deeply realized what a barren land is.

But that's exactly what it is. Unicole also has a deep understanding of Jenn's affluence, knowing that in such a place where everything needs to be invested. Ordinary lords don't spend too much of their money at all. But Yunecle learned from the commoners who lived in Passus that almost all of the houses in their cities, villages and towns were built for them at the lord's expense. If they don't have materials, they go out to spend money to buy them, and some of them take materials on the spot, and at most, they need to build their homes by themselves. Of course, those refugees don't pay attention to this trouble, compared to the precarious days, what is it to build their own houses? What's more, even if you want to build your own house in other places, you don't have the money to buy materials. But this lord is generous, give as much as you want, as long as you don't cross the line, you like to build as high as you want -- but fortunately the Crane Continent does not have the kind of skill of building skyscrapers, so generally speaking, every household is almost one or two floors.

Because of this, the lords of Passus are quite fond of their lord, although he does not appear much on weekdays, and rarely performs any tricks such as interacting with the people. But almost every policy he promulgated was spent on his own money, and others used it. In other territories, many lords are eager to collect every copper plate into their own hands, where is the money spent so much like Jenn?

In this regard, the people of Passus were much more loyal to Jenn than they were elsewhere. They weren't stupid either, knowing that Passus was originally a small place and didn't produce much at all. At the moment, the lord's money is his own, and even if Jenn now taxes the entire Passus territory, the money collected will not be more than half of these expenses.

However, as the daughter of a businessman, Yunique is also keenly aware of the hidden problems. So immediately after finishing her expedition to Passus, she went to Jenn's estate to report her findings.

"I didn't expect you to move so fast, Miss Dana."

Sitting behind the desk, looking at the girl in front of him, Jenn smiled slightly, and then spoke. Hearing his words, Yunique was also shocked, and then hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully.

"That's what I'm supposed to do......... Lord Lord........."

It's no wonder that Yuniku is so nervous, if she was still in awe of Jenn's domineering power before, after coming to Jenn's "manor", Yuniku was directly shocked. Among other things, the two tall sculptures at the entrance of the manor alone are enough to make people feel awe. Not to mention the stalagmite building with a height of tens of meters inside. At this moment, the "study" where she is located is more than 100 square meters in size, and behind the spacious space is a fully transparent standing glass window. Through the window, you can see the entire territory of Passus below, as well as the blue sky and white clouds, and the view feels as if the house is floating on top of the clouds. Let's not forget about the furniture in this room. The luxury of the manor itself alone has exceeded Eucole's expectations, not to mention the entire Eagle Plateau. Even if it is a little farther away, the royal families of several countries may not have such gorgeous and atmospheric palaces.

And here, it's just a manor?

Yunecle now feels like someone has hit her in the back of the head with a gold brick, and she is dazed and doesn't know what to do. It wasn't until she heard Jenn speak that she reacted and hurriedly shuddered. At the same time, she secretly decided in her heart that she must win the support of this lord no matter what, otherwise she will be sorry for herself!

"Tell me about it, then, Miss Dana."

Looking at Eucole's expression, Jenn certainly knew what she was thinking. But he didn't care, since this woman was sure to come to the door. Then he must have made a plan, but he wants to see what the other party thinks of his poor and white place.

"Yes..............."

Hearing Jenn's words, Yuniku took a deep breath, calmed down, and then spoke.

"Your Lord, your territory is truly extraordinary, to be honest, before you came here. I never expected a territory to be managed like this -- but with all due respect, the idea of buying materials and having the local inhabitants hire refugees to work for them is good. But there is a big hidden danger in this. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Jenn changed his position in his chair.

"Tell me?"

"Yes. My lord, according to my observations, these refugees are currently being held in Passus. With the exception of a few who were hired to farm, most of the others were just helping with the construction. But architecture is limited. I did the calculations. After the construction of the new city in Passus, it is likely that only one-fifth of these people will remain to take care of the repairs. Others have nothing to do. Not only that, but since your realm doesn't produce anything, your lord, there are a lot of skilled craftsmen here, but there aren't enough raw materials. If you buy it from outside, it will cost a lot, so there is no profit at all. In addition, the skills of these craftsmen themselves are not very good, and they are not particularly unique, so even if they want to support their families here, I am afraid that it will be very difficult. ”

"So?"

"So my idea is that the Star Chamber of Commerce can gather these people and set up a group dedicated to building and repairing buildings, so that when other places need to build new buildings and repairs, they will come to us and send us commissions, so that we can earn money and get profits."

Speaking of this, Yunique was also excited.

"Your lord, you are building a new city, and my idea is that it is best to gather all the people who are building the new city now, and then train and examine them professionally, and make sure that these people are trained to be first-class craftsmen, and build a magnificent and gorgeous new city, as long as the city is built, then it can make a reputation. As long as this new city is built unique and enviable enough, then the surrounding lords and those wealthy merchants will definitely not let go of this opportunity. As long as we release the message that we are willing to serve them, then we can use this to open the market. Of course, we don't have to have money, we can also cooperate with them for a long time, and if we don't have money, we can offset it with local ores, metals, food, etc., so that the whole of Passus can have the ability to produce and earn profits on its own, without the need for your lord to throw money into it. ”

At this point, Yunique paused, then continued.

"Of course, perhaps in your lordship, this money is nothing. But if this continues, the refugees who have nothing to do will only become a problem for the territory, so I think the best thing to do is for them to have a job, and if this is left to our Star Chamber of Commerce, then I promise you will be satisfied. ”

Is this to be a contractor?

Hearing Eucole's answer, Jenn also looked at the girl in front of him with great interest. To be honest, Jenn really never paid attention to the development of his territory, he basically asked Enoya to toss before, and what kind of toss it is, anyway, he has money and is not afraid of wasting it. It's just that Jenn didn't expect that Yunacle would actually give herself such an interesting suggestion. And Jenn has to admit that this suggestion is really interesting.

This world is not without master builders, dwarves and gray dwarves are among the best hands. And even among human beings, there are some famous architectural talents, but most of these talents live in the capital of a country or in a prosperous city. It is rare to run outside on weekdays, so if the lords and merchants in remote areas want to build some construction fortresses or castles, they usually find famous craftsmen from the local area, then design the drawings, and then gather people to start the work.

Of course, there are a few craftsmen in each region, but their strength is obviously not very high, so most of the houses built by the lords in those remote areas are of the same standard as the houses of the settlement. Therefore, they can only reflect their luxury from the interior decoration and furniture. It's not that they don't have the money, it's not that they don't want to build a "manor" like Jenn. It's really that they don't have such strong craftsmen, and if they build it like this, I'm afraid that half of the construction will collapse.

Since the other party said so, Jenn did not hesitate any longer, but nodded quickly.

"Well, since you said that, then I think you should understand what you're going to do. Enoa is in charge of building the new city, you go to her to talk to her, and as for the rest of the matter, then I'll leave it to you........."

"Yes, Lord Lord!!"

Hearing Jenn's relief, Yunacle was also excited, and she had prepared a lot of speeches. But I didn't expect the other party to only listen to the beginning, so he nodded and agreed. It was so easy that Yunacle didn't expect, but the girl also knew very well that this was not that Jenn was completely letting go, but that he was using the construction of the new city as an exam question to see his performance. If this construction can be completed perfectly, then the relationship between the Star Chamber of Commerce and Passus will be determined.

Faced with such an opportunity, Unicole naturally will not miss it.

"I assure you that I will fulfill this commission perfectly." (To be continued......)
