The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes
v3 Chapter 623: Diverted Bandit
Charles found this thief cottage based on the information provided by his grandfather, Duke Redkin, but what he saw made him think that either his grandfather's intelligence department was crazy, or the bandits were crazy. Or you're crazy.
As it turns out, it's the world that's crazy.
Profits allow capitalists to sell their nooses to hang themselves, and bandits to switch to raising sheep.
Charles came to this camp under the name of his own under the pretext of being chased by a beast and lost his way. At first, he wanted to go into the cottage in a low-key manner and investigate, but he accidentally met Ah Fu in the camp.
It was dinner time at this time, and there was limited food in the mountains. Waron, the leader of the camp, went out to welcome Afu today and came back with a wild boar. Charles happened to catch up.
Wallon lives in a small log cabin by himself, which is small but well kept.
There was a steaming cauldron and dishes cut out of wood on the rough table, and Wallon and Charles and Alfred sat on the wooden stakes that served as chairs.
People here don't pay much attention to what they eat. Large pieces of wild boar are stewed with apples in a pot. When eating, they pick up the meat and slice it with a dagger.
Charles ate the wild boar quietly, listening to Alfred and Wallon explain.
Wallon looked ten years older than Ah Fu, a little thin, his hair was all white, his skin was dark because he lived in the mountains all the year round, but his blue eyes were very charming.
According to Ah Fu, Wa Long was the boss of Ah Fu when he was a mercenary when he was young. He saved Ah Fu's life several times. Later, he didn't want to be a mercenary, so he fell here and collected tolls all year round.
And the bandit leaders on several hilltops in this area were all of Ah Fu's former teammates. Back then, Wa Long and his brothers occupied this place strongly.
Over the years, Ah Fu has often taken care of the old brothers here.
At first, Charles asked Ah Fu to be in charge of wool matters, and then the price of wool rose a lot because the demand exceeded supply. Ah Fu came here to persuade the older brothers under the abacus of diversifying the source of wool and pulling the old brothers together. Forget raising sheep in the mountains.
Wallon and the others are well informed, and they will naturally know about the construction of wool textile mills in the Bischberg kingdom, so with the advice and help of Ah Fu, they bought a large number of mohair sheep suitable for raising in the mountains and began to raise them. up.
The matter of the McGarden family's banner was approved by Aunt Coriander, and Charles is now handing over the family's business to her, which is not a violation.
Mohair wool has a smooth surface, strong luster, high strength, good elasticity, less curl, and is easy to wash. It belongs to the wool of excellent quality.
However, Mohai sheep are goats and are wild. They can only be grazing in the mountains and are difficult to keep in captivity. The wool production is not high. In addition, there are many monsters in the mountains that are difficult to raise on a large scale, so the total output of mohair wool is not high and can only be used as a fine product. The addition of wool will not have an impact on the wool industry on the prairie.
The most important thing is that there were no Ma Hai sheep in the east of Lin Hai. The mohair sheep raised here appear to be from the Elf Tree Sea, but they were actually bought from the west by Aunt Coriander after contacting the family.
After listening to this, Charles acquiesced to Aunt Coriander and A Fu's practice, which was a good choice from a family business perspective.
Charles asked: "These sheep won't make those nobles jealous?"
Hearing that Charles had no objection, Alfred's uneasy heart relaxed at this time, and he replied: "We cooperate with Marquis Maran in Catania City, and he has 10% of the shares in the sheep farm. He sent someone to come. Look, the wool of these sheep is highly rated."
Charles pondered for a long time, and then asked: "How are the shares distributed here?"
Wallon replied somewhat cautiously: "Except for Marquis Malan's 10% share, sir, you own 30% of the shares."
Charles frowned, which shocked Wallon, thinking that Charles was too little.
It's just that Charles said to Alfred: "Take 1.5% of our 30% shares to the king. In the future, these shares will be the king's, and whoever becomes the king will give it to him."
"Take out another 10%, build a school here so that the children can have a place to go to school, donate four points in the remaining half of the city to the school of the Adventurer's Guild in my name to get a scholarship, and the rest At the next point, I will hire a pharmacist to treat everyone, and I will give you the specific details later."
Ah Fu should have given Charles' instructions, he would not question the various operations of his master.
Wallon was different. At first, Charles said that he didn't care too much when he gave half of his shares to the king, but only lamented that Charles's path was wild enough.
When Charles said that he would take ten more shares to build the school, Wallon was so surprised that he didn't recover for a long time.
There are many ways of educating children in this world. Nobles and rich people naturally hire private teachers. For commoners, free enlightenment education in the churches of various temples is one of the choices. Some scholars will There are schools at home to teach several children, and some scholars will partner to open a school.
When children grow up, there are some small professional schools similar to technical schools for them to choose from, but such schools are mostly in places with developed handicrafts such as the Principality of Milan.
One of Charles's enemy Allen's creations was to rely on the Adventurer's Guild to open a technical school for adventurers, and he also gained a lot of prestige among adventurers.
Now all Charles has to do is build scholarships in these schools and compete with Allen for prestige.
There used to be a Mao school in the bandit, where the old ones taught the younger ones, and the people who taught them would be able to count the money and not get caught.
Don't even think about pharmacists who are doctors. Unless they kidnap one back, those pharmacists who belong to the elite class don't even look at the bandits.
The thieves here are more like cottages that usually collect tolls. Some thieves even build paths by themselves to bypass the tax card of the nobleman, and then collect a little more than the tax card.
Such cottages are not so much a thief, but rather a scoundrel who fled to the mountains and did not pay taxes to the gentlemen.
Now Charles and the others are here. After building a sheep farm, they will replace the tax with shares. This allows these thieves to get rid of the identity of "thieves" and become civilians. In the future, they can swagger into the city without fear of being caught and beheaded. .
Then Charles built a school here and hired a pharmacist, which instantly upgraded their cottage into a village.
In the future, when the young man sees the girl from the nearby village, he doesn't need to tie it back, and he can go directly to the door to propose a marriage.
It took Wallon a while to digest the impact of Charles' decision.
He said to Charles: "Master, thank you so much. We will listen to you as long as you have a word in the future."
Charles smiled and ate the meat, and said at the same time, "I just let Ah Fu run errands, you don't mind that you earn less."
"No!" Wallon said ~lightnovelpub.net~ If it weren't for you, Master, we wouldn't be able to earn a cent. "
Charles thought for a moment, then said to Ah Fu: "Raising sheep is a technical job. See if you can help them find someone on the prairie to give pointers."
"Let's not talk about the problem of sick sheep, but only that they may not be able to shear well when shearing wool. If they don't, they will be sheared into inferior products."
Ah Fu nodded solemnly. It was a bit troublesome, but it was not impossible. After all, it was rare to see orcs outside the prairie.
Charles thought about it for a while, and then said to Alfred and Wallon: "The sheep farms of your other old brothers should be dealt with in the same way, and I suggest that you have the money to repair the road in and out, which will be more convenient."
Ah Fu and Wa Long laughed happily immediately, so that their old brothers could also be washed ashore.
Charles also laughed along, thinking in his heart that we should use this as a pilot first. If the effect is good, let those self-motivated thieves go to raise horses and sea sheep in the future, which is also a merit.
