Celestial Mage

Chapter 238 Super Photobook from the East (33)

The temporary mayor's tent in Crescent Town.

Lilith's words were so appetizing that the two girls who were about to read the spell book in the corner were attracted and listened with pricked ears.

Lilith naturally knew the mistress of Serrandis.

As soon as he saw her there, he was honest and honest, not daring to show any intimacy with Rosen, and kept a distance of three meters from Rosen.

She said in a business-like tone: "Master, this painter's full name is Hejali St. Deutarod."

As soon as the name came out, the three people in the tent were shocked.

The two women couldn't sit still anymore, they put down the spell books in their hands one after another, and turned their heads to look over.

Gendeloni even interjected: "First of all, this is the Son of God, and secondly, this name is very familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere."

Serrandis has already remembered: "She is the third daughter of the current Duke of Storms, Saint Terences, and she is also the daughter with the highest achievement in magic."

Gendeloni immediately recalled.

"Ah, I remembered that too. The instructor of the college mentioned her back then. He said that she is the youngest high-level ocean mage in history, and she broke through the high-level maze at the age of 15."

Hearing this, Rosen was also shocked: "That's really amazing."

Why is it a little powerful?
Because this guy has a duke father who is the great lord of the richest land in the Golden Land.

The Duke also controls the most prosperous maritime trade route in the Golden Land, and his annual financial income is calculated in tens of millions of crowns.

Therefore, Heya Jiali's family background is two orders of magnitude higher than that of the original Master Fentian.

As long as she has some talent in magic arts, her father can use massive resources to push her to the realm of a master.

Of course, being able to break through to a high level at the age of 15 is indeed an extraordinary talent.

Rosen asked: "Then she should be an Archmage now?"

Serrandis shook his head: "That's not clear, but considering that she has been promoted to a higher level for almost ten years, it is very likely that she has already broken through the cliff of master."

Not thinking about it, Lilith said cautiously: "According to Candela, not yet. He is currently a 17-star high-level mage."

Serrandis was taken aback: "Not yet? That means you've been stuck at a high level for ten years?"

Gendroni sighed: "Master Cliff is so easy to break through. Earl only breaks through at 35, and Archmage Fen Tian is promoted at 30."

Rosen was a little envious: "The 17-star spellcasting ability is really high."

He is still stuck at eight and a half stars.

Of course, it's almost time for gossip, and it's time to get down to business.

Rosen continued to ask: "Then what is the customization request of Her Royal Highness?"

This is a veritable princess of the Eastern Realm, a big shot who can decide the fate of countless people with a wave of his hand, and he dare not neglect in the slightest.

Lilith took out a large stack of documents from the document bag.

"Master, these are the new information from Silvermoon Castle in recent days, and these are the pictures of the princess' spells."

"And then this, this is the specific customization requirements."

Rosen took the documents and looked over them one by one. Silvermoon Castle has been very quiet recently, and nothing major has happened.

The only thing worthy of attention is that Phelan appeared in the guild again.

Compared with before, he became bald and full of energy, as if he was ten years younger.

"Oh, poor Phelan."

Then he continued to look at the so-called magic pictures.

At this glance, I found that this thing is similar to the photo.

To be precise, it is a black and white photo.

Serrandis also came over to take a look: "I have long heard that the people of the Eastern Region are good at light and shadow illusions, and now it seems that it is true."

"Let me see, let me see~"

Gendeloni tiptoed to probe, but she couldn't see clearly because she was too short.

Rosen lowered his arm to let her take a closer look.

The first photo Gendeloni saw was of the princess riding a horse in the garden.

In the photo, the princess is wearing snow-white breeches, a snow-white lace-collared shirt, a dark blue vest and a coat of the same color, her dark blonde hair is tied into a ponytail, and she is wearing a neat and delicate elephant-skin-framed cap .

The horse under the crotch is the famous horse 'Bibo Xinyue' unique to the East.

The horse is strong and slender, its muscles are elegant yet explosive, and its shiny silver hair is like condensing moonlight.

But the four hooves and lower legs are covered with long blue soft hair. When running, the thick blue hair flutters up and down like rippling blue waves.

Gendroni took a look and praised loudly: "What a beautiful person, what a beautiful horse!"

She was right.

Heya Jiali not only has a great appearance, but also a great figure, plump and vigorous, yet feminine and graceful, her face is full of confidence, her eyes look forward, full of the demeanor of the world's most powerful person.

One look and it's unforgettable.

After watching it, Rosen was secretly moved.

"What a rich and noble peony."

There are ten photos and paintings, all of which are superb.

There are horse riding, flower viewing, dining, and even a dressing photo with half bare shoulders.

Finally, there are custom painting requirements.

"Master Rosen, I have seen many of your paintings. Most of them are vulgar, but there are also some elegant masterpieces."

"The pictures in the east are very good, but they have lost their color, so I ask you to turn the black and white pictures into colorful oil paintings, and try to restore the pictures in the past as much as possible. If you can improve, that would be great. but."

"Rage City and Silvermoon Castle are far away. Even if you take the nearest waterway, it will take nearly a month to go back and forth. So I hope you can finish it as soon as possible, so as to catch up with my birthday party in December."

"I heard that you have become the mayor of a remote town again, and you are responsible for building the town. I hope that my painting funds can support your town building business a little bit."

After looking around without mentioning how much money was given, Rosen turned to look at Lilith: "How much is the total amount?"

Lilith took out another leather bag and handed it to Rosen: "100 gold coins."

"How many?!"

Rosen suspected that his ears had misheard.

"100. Austrian gold coins." Lilith repeated earnestly.

Now the three of them heard it clearly, and then they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Rosen took the leather bag for inspection, and then took out a dark gold, big thumb-covered, heavy strange gold coin.

Austrian gold coin, a rare gold coin, is only used by Winter City in the northern border. It is mainly used for the settlement of funds for bulk trade. One Austrian gold coin can be exchanged for 1000 to 1200 kroner.

100 pieces are [-] crowns, and you can buy ten custom paintings.

What a 'slightly supported' wow!

Rosen couldn't help sighing: "Is this the work of the top rich man in the Golden Land?"

Now, he has about 3000 crowns in cash in his hand, and wages have already been paid today.

There are more than 2 citizens, leaving out the elderly, children, pregnant women, etc. who are not suitable for work, there are still about 2000 people left, and the daily wages paid are almost 1400 kroner.

And because the civilian mages played a huge role, Rosen collectively raised their wages once, adding up to 280 people, the wages were more than 200 crowns a day.

Added together is an expenditure of 1600 crowns a day.

According to this situation, Rosen's cash on hand can only support two settlement cycles at most, that is, two weeks.

Originally, he had already planned to go out to find money.

It's all right now, suddenly there is more than [-] crowns in cash, and the pressure on wages is gone.

Because of this, the coins circulating in the town reached more than 12 crowns.

Of course, if the salary is paid honestly and the money is sent directly to the citizens, even 12 kroner is not enough.

Because the market in Crescent Town hasn't opened yet, everyone doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and there is nowhere to spend money.

After everyone gets their wages, they just put them at home to keep mold.

This is obviously a huge waste, and it can't last long.

then what should we do?

Rosen tossed the gold coin lightly, and had already made up his mind.

"It's time to open a bank."

Open a bank with the lord's reputation and let the people deposit money in it.

Of course, everyone is definitely not willing at the beginning, so you can give some discounts, such as saving money and being able to exempt part of the tax.

When everyone gets used to saving money, when it comes time to pay wages, there will be no need to discover cash.

Just send a paper voucher to the citizens and fill in a number on it.

In this way, it seemed that a lot of money was distributed, but in fact only some papers were distributed, and most of the cash remained in the lord's pocket honestly.

Then the 12 crowns became the bank's deposit.

According to Earth's experience, a [-]% margin is a fairly safe level.

Then, 12 crowns can be used as 24.

24 crowns can support the payment of five months' wages.

Five months later, the Crescent Town market must have been running for a long time.

With a market and money circulating, there is no need to worry about insufficient wages.

Rosen carefully considered the specific plan in his mind.

"It is said that the banks in the eastern region are very mature, but they have not yet gained popularity in the northern region. I will follow the method of the eastern region, and then do a little localization."

The idea of ​​Qianzhuang quickly flashed through Rosen's mind, and a decision was made.

He carefully put away the gold coins and asked Lilith, "Does Your Royal Highness have any other orders?"

Lilith shook her head: "No more."

Rosen said: "Okay, then I'll take you to rest. On the way, you can tell me the details of Candela's business."

"Yes, Master."

The two of them left the camp and walked more than a hundred meters away before Lilith breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Master, the pressure of the mistress is really terrifying."

If it wasn't for work, she wouldn't dare to appear in front of Serendis even if she was killed.

Rosen smiled: "As long as you don't mess with her, she is very nice."

After a pause, Wen Yan asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"not yet."

"Then I'll take you to lunch."

"Yes, Master."

On the way, Lilith began to report on the trade situation in the east.

After she finished speaking, her face was slightly worried: "Master, the people of Fubosi are looking for news about trade routes, and the pressure is getting heavier."

This is indeed a big problem.

Rosen comforted: "Don't worry, I will find a way to settle it."

Harrick was soon found.

"Harrick, arrange a good lunch for Miss Lilith, and find another quiet place for her to rest."

"Finally, arrange for her to change her clothes so that no one will recognize her, and no one will know her whereabouts."

The last sentence was whispered.

Of course Harrick knew the danger of the messenger mission and immediately nodded in agreement.

Rosen handed Lilith three more lucky rune stones: "When you leave, go quietly so that no one will notice you. Be careful on the road."

Lilith giggled, not worried: "Don't worry, Master, God has taken care of me."

Rosen was startled, then thought of something, and immediately let go of most of his mind: "That's good."

Of course, Alfroya would not take care of a little spider girl, but in the Golden Land, her status as a golden apostle is enough to prevent her from many disasters.

After arranging Lilith, he discussed with Harrick about opening a bank.

Harrick slapped his head and said with a smile: "Lawson, that's a good idea, I'll open the bank right away!"

After finishing speaking, he added: "Dianmin Guan Griman's father has been in charge of the Yuanyue Bank for more than 20 years. We hired him with a high salary to help. The bank must be fine."

With these words as a basis, Rosen felt relieved.

He returned to the tent, took out the best oil painting tools, spread out the drawing board, and said seriously: "Alice~Jenny, don't let people disturb me, I'm going to start painting."

"Understand~"

The reply was a Homeland Protection Spell from Serrandis.

This oil painting has undertaken a big business of [-] crowns, and the buyer is still a princess, so it can't be careless.

When painting, Rosen gathered four-star abilities on one painting, and the remaining four-star ability was thinking about the next plan.

"I have to meet Vivian sometime, and tell her to open the clay potion workshop quickly."

Without the help of clay potions, building towns by consuming mage mana would not be fast enough.

Because the body of any mage can't bear the limit of casting spells every day, after a long time, he must slow down and rest.

In his plan, about three or four thousand people will use clay potions to help the mages quickly build the town and surrounding facilities, while other people will start farming and producing food.

In this way, construction and farming will not be delayed, and the leaders will still have money in their hands for consumption, and Xinyue Town will soon be on the right track.

After drawing for a while, another thought flashed through Rosen's mind.

"Silvermoon Castle's idle resources have almost been sold out, and it won't be able to recover for half a year. Therefore, the trade route with the east border must always be kept open."

If you have money but no goods, the money will depreciate immediately, which is inflation.

Therefore, maintaining the smooth flow of trade routes in the east is the top priority at present.

Coincidentally, this route also passes through Lord Morrow's Fanggu Town.

So the two things were combined, and when the painting was finished, he would go south to solve the problem of trade routes.

It can also be expected that Fubosi will definitely be fiercely obstructed, and if it can be successfully resolved, then Fubosi's general situation will go away.
