Chapter 171 Mysterious Library Management
In the carriage, Mrs. Meryl called Russell in and inevitably warned him not to indulge in the next month.
“Your eldest aunt is the Grand Duke’s aunt. You must not be rude in front of her. This will affect your relationship with the Grand Duke in the future… Your eldest brother has made a mistake, and I don’t want to hear the news that you have made a mistake too. return.”
“Don’t worry, mother, you have some confidence in me.” Russell smiled.
“Your elder brother also reassures me, but who knows what he does behind the scenes. In short, you must always remember not to embarrass the family.”
“OK.”
After his mother finished her instructions, Russell said, “Father, mother, I also have something to discuss with you.”
“Say it.” Baron Roman said.
“The orders for the Yulong cigars named after my grandfather are very popular, so I plan to produce a batch of Yulong cigars as soon as possible and sell them to the outside world. Firstly, it will make up for the industry that the territory cannot make ends meet, and secondly, it will also maintain the name of Yulong cigars. “
With the help of Earl Merlin’s prestige, Yulong Cigar’s reputation has now spread, and it will definitely cause a period of enthusiasm.
But if Yulong cigars are delayed in entering the market, this popularity will soon cool down.
even.
If someone with a keen sense of smell gets there first, then Russell’s efforts will simply be to make wedding clothes for others.
Baron Roman became interested: “How do you plan to give birth?”
He also likes Yulong cigars, not because of how flavorful Yulong cigars are, but because Russell’s saying “A knight burns the beauty of his life” makes him feel very powerful. It’s time to differentiate from ordinary people when it comes to smoking.
“I don’t produce, Father.” Russell smiled, “I only transport… I plan to leave the production to Fluorescent Castle, and I will be responsible for promoting the Yulong cigar brand and selling Yulong cigars.”
There is not much to say about the production and sales of cigars.
It’s not something with technical content.
Baron Roman said: “You are really good at business. All the hard work is left to the Fluorescent Castle to do. Are you only responsible for collecting money?”
“Father, you are wrong to think this way. Although I didn’t put in much hard work, Yulong cigars are my idea, and I spread the reputation. For now, the nobles of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy will definitely only buy Yulong cigars. cigar.”
“What you said makes sense, but Fluorescent Castle can’t help you in vain.” Baron Roman said, “You have to share half of the profits to subsidize Fluorescent Castle’s channel expenses.”
“That’s too much, Father!”
“Channels are more important than anything else. Son, you should see the contribution of the family. Every year, many knights die in the snowy fields.”
“I can ask Cousin Mel to give birth to me.”
“Why, are you going to join your grandfather and come to Sanchahekou to become a vassal?” Baron Roman stared at Russell’s eyes.
Faced with his father’s rogue behavior, Russell could only compromise: “Okay, I can subsidize the channel fees, but I can only take out a quarter of the profits.”
“one third.”
“make a deal.”
The father and son reached an agreement, and then Baron Roman stretched out his hand and shook Russell’s hand with Russell’s slightly surprised eyes.
Then he said calmly: “You are an adult, Russell. Adults are destined to be filled with the smell of copper. As a Lord Lord, a manor knight, the family will protect you, but at the same time, it will also collect taxes from you. “
Russell raised his brows and exclaimed: “Father, you’re not telling me that if I sell Yulong cigars, I have to pay business tax to you, right?”
“Ulon cigars are commodities, so they should be taxed.”
“I have compensated the family channel fees.”
“Channel fees are channel fees, and commercial taxes are commercial taxes, unless you organize a caravan yourself, in which case I can waive your channel fees.”
“I should go negotiate with my eldest brother, father.”
Mrs. Meryl, who had been watching the bargaining between father and son with a smile, smiled and said something to Russell: “Okay, dear, Russell has just grown up, don’t dampen his momentum… exempt him from the business tax for the first year. ”
“This is your motherly love.” Baron Roman smiled.
“Father, mother, please make Yulong cigars when you return to the territory.” Russell was about to get off the carriage.
“Don’t worry, I will arrange for all the tobacco farmers in the territory to switch to making Yulong cigars.”
“For the craftsmanship, please ask Hans, the court elder in my territory, who was the former foreman of the manor. He knows how to make cigars.”
“Okay, let’s get down.” Baron Roman waved his hand, got out of the carriage, and rode on the fantasy beast and nightmare horse, “Mel, Russell, just see us off here. The road ahead is long, and we have to see you off across the river mouth plain.” ”
“Well, uncle and aunt, have a nice journey.” Merle halted his horse.
Russell stopped his horse and stood at the intersection with Mel, watching his parents’ motorcade slowly disappear from sight.
After a long time.
Merle turned his horse’s head and said to Russell: “Next, you and I will be the only ones in the entire Sancha River Estuary.”
“Cousin, what are your plans next?” Russell asked with a smile.
“Take a quiet day today. Tomorrow, I will take you around the entire Sancha River Estuary to appreciate the geographical features that are different from the Youguang River Valley.” After Mel finished speaking, he said mysteriously, “Of course, there are other The same customs.”
“Before she left, my mother repeatedly told me not to make the same mistake as Roland. Cousin, please don’t frame me.”
“Don’t worry, Sanchahekou is my territory. I am most familiar with the customs and customs here. Can I harm you? Or do you think you can’t trust me?”
“Then I’m looking forward to appreciating the different customs and customs.”
“Haha, that’s right, let’s go!”
The two of them were galloping one behind the other, and the members of the Knight Guard behind them rode their horses to keep up with them to protect their safety.
Russell’s horse was followed by the red-eyed rat king who had been eating and drinking for several days and was about to eat it into a ball. These days, Rat Rat had really lived a fairy life. The food at Bluebird Castle was better than the food at Black-waisted Snake Manor. A few notches higher.
“Red Eyes, don’t wait, catch up quickly!”
“Jiji!”
The red-eyed rat king used his old nose strength to barely keep up with the galloping horse. If he were a little fatter, he would have to use his magic – Bloodthirsty Flash to catch up.
Return to Bluebird Castle.
Because Cousin Mel didn’t have any plans today, Russell hid in the castle’s library and browsed the information to his heart’s content.
It has to be said that Blue Bird Castle has a deeper heritage than Fluorescent Castle. The library can basically be regarded as a library. The bookshelves are stacked in rows and rows. The books on the top floor require a long ladder to reach them.
“Master Russell, you can tell the old man what kind of books you need and let me help you find them.”
The administrator of the library is a gray-haired old man.
But he was not dressed as a servant. He was wearing work clothes with several pockets and a pipe in his mouth.
Usually servants don’t dare to smoke in the castle. If they want to smoke, they can only smoke in the servants’ lounge.
And Russell also noticed that the old administrator had a badge that looked like a scepter on his chest.
“Scholar’s Medal?” Russell recognized this badge. This is the Scholar’s Medal awarded to learned men by the Red Fort, which is equivalent to identification.
