Chapter 125 Groceries
Russell left young William to enjoy a lunch in the manor’s courtyard and discuss the construction of the brick kiln in detail.
“Sir, I suggest building a brick kiln next to the pottery kiln.” Little William has obviously done enough homework. “Firstly, it will facilitate the transportation of clay residue, and secondly, it will also facilitate the supply of coal. Most importantly, You can hire craftsmen from the pottery factory.”
“You want to dig into the corner of the pottery kiln?”
“Ahem, it’s not poaching, sir, it’s just asking the workers in the pottery kiln factory to come to the brick kiln factory to help after they get off work.”
“Well, that’s a good idea.” Russell nodded.
If he was asked to poach the pottery factory, he would definitely not be willing to do so. After all, that would be tantamount to poaching his parents.
But if the workers in the pottery kiln factory are allowed to work part-time after get off work, there will be no problem at all.
“Sir, everything about the factory is easy. I have learned all the firing techniques and management techniques, and I can completely build a brick kiln for you. But for coal supply, I need you to communicate with the Fluorescent Castle in person.”
Coal is a strategic resource produced by Wyvern. It is difficult for private individuals to buy it, and even if it is purchased, it cannot be transported back.
Russell said: “Don’t worry, I have already communicated with Fluorescence Castle. When the caravan transports coal every month, an extra batch of coal will be transported to the brick kiln factory… However, the purchase and transportation fees need to be paid by the brick kiln factory.”
“The cost of the brick kiln may be very high.” Xiao William replied.
“I will first take out ten gold coins, will it be enough to build the brick kiln?” Russell said, “I will then invest another twenty gold coins to buy the first batch of coal. I should be able to buy enough coal for half a year. “
Now is the warm season, the power of the Snow Demon is declining, the trade routes are smooth, and the fleets are constantly coming and going.
Especially as the warm season gets hotter and the hot summer begins, the power of the snow demon will be compressed to distant places, and the snow ghost will also hide.
At this time, Shangdao can run the super large thunder beast pulling cart.
Using thunder beasts instead of horses to pull carts, one thunder beast can pull more than ten tons of cargo, which is stronger than trucks on earth.
However, Thunder Beasts are very rare, and the Fluorescent Castle only breeds twenty Thunder Beasts.
Even every time the Thunder Beast is sent out to pull goods, Lord Marcus has to lead the team. There is no other reason. One of the two phantom beasts contracted by Marcus is the Steel Thunder Beast evolved from the Thunder Beast. Hundreds of tons of cargo.
It can be said that except for the fact that it is not fast enough, the Thunder Beast-drawn cart is completely superior to the horse-drawn cart in all aspects.
“That’s enough, that’s enough, sir!” Little William said happily. He originally thought that Russell would be reluctant to spend money and would invest a few gold coins at most. But he didn’t expect Russell to be so generous and directly invest thirty gold coins.
To be honest, just relying on brick kilns to bake clay bricks may not be able to earn back the capital in a few years.
However, he had heard before that the second son of the fluorescent mushroom family got the attention of the giant dragon and cultivated a mushroom bird.
This means Russell will have endless gold coins to spend.
That’s why little William would not refuse such a large investment from Russell: “Don’t worry, sir, I will prepare the brick kiln as soon as possible.”
“Well, I hope to build the brick kiln within half a month, and then spend another half month firing the first batch of clay bricks, and then transport them all to my territory. I will digest these batches of clay bricks myself.” Russell ordered.
He wanted to build a house, and the small market also had to build dormitories, offices, courts, etc., which required a large amount of clay bricks.
Little William silently made an estimate, and then nodded heavily: “No problem, sir.”
Wait until it’s time to say goodbye.
Little William suddenly thought of a question: “Sir, the brick kiln has been built. Do you need to give the brick kiln a name?”
Russell thought for a while and said, “Then let’s call it Wuyao Snake Brick Kiln Factory.”
Compared with the monopoly porcelain kiln factory and pottery kiln factory, the brick kiln factory has almost no technical threshold. It is inevitable that Fluorescent Castle will start a new business in the future and build several more brick kiln factories, so he had better name it in advance.
“Likeable, adult.”
With the initial start-up capital of three gold coins, Little William left the manor.
Russell will send someone to deliver the next seven gold coins after the brick kiln starts construction, and will also send an overseer to the brick kiln.
Little William was sent away with the front foot.
Then another carriage drove into the Black-rumped Snake Manor, but instead of coming to the manor’s courtyard, it went straight to the small market.
In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, Charles took the owner of the carriage to the manor courtyard.
“Sir, let me introduce to you. This is Bucktooth Miller, a freeman in the town. He wants to open a grocery store in the small market.” Charles sniffed the air with his nose as he spoke. , to tell what delicious food has been cooked in the kitchen.
Hulk-toothed Miller took off the hat on his head and bowed to Russell: “Had-toothed Miller says hello to you, Master Russell.”
“Hello, Bucktooth Miller.” Russell nodded and took a look at the other person. He was wearing a bright satin top, and it was obvious that he came from a relatively well-off family.
But Russell was a little curious: “Haw-toothed Miller, why do you want to open a grocery store here? Compared to the town, this place is much deserted.”
“Actually, I have had the idea to open a store outside the town for a long time, but there is no suitable place to open the store.” Huya Miller said, “But Master Russell, you came to the Black-rumped Snake Manor, I think the suitable place is Here it is.”
“Oh, why?”
“To tell you the truth, I only thought this place was suitable for opening a store after I heard that you had a mushroom bird. Under your management, the Black-rumped Snake Manor will definitely develop rapidly, and there happens to be a lack of a grocery store here… …”
Russell nodded and understood what Huya Miller was thinking.
One mushroom bird means fifteen hundred acres of magic potion fields, which in turn means that a large number of serfs will become rich as a result.
It will even attract more serfs to settle in the Black-waisted Snake Manor.
Some people are rich, so naturally, the future Black-waisted Snake Manor will have a basis for doing business, attracting Huya Miller.
“No problem, Huya Miller, I allow you to open a grocery store in the small market, but there will be no tax concessions.” Russell said calmly. Before, he wanted to attract people to do business, so he might have to pay some tax. Blood.
But now that there is Rosie the Mushroom Bird, small businessmen will naturally take notice, and there is no need to give any more discounts.
The gap-toothed Miller smiled awkwardly: “Master Russell, after all, I am running a small business, and I will definitely not be popular in the early stage. If you can give me a little discount, I think I can run more steadily…”
Russell waved his hand.
He directly ordered: “I’ll let you have a dinner and taste the food here. As for opening a store, you can discuss it with Charles later.”
Russell didn’t want to personally participate in such a fussy matter. He had lost his worth just for those few copper coins.
Charles immediately answered: “Your Excellency has promised you to open a shop here. It’s time to have a drink to celebrate. We will discuss other matters in detail tomorrow. Please, Huge-toothed Miller, Mrs. Moore is an extremely creative cook. Will you Enjoy delicious food like no other! ”
