Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

"What do you want to do? If there is any need for us, just ask."

The three Harrys were ready to sacrifice their interests.

Because in their opinion, Gray would not come to them for trivial matters.

Gray just said that he wanted to do some small business, and he specially called them here. It seemed that he wanted them to help.

They naturally understood that they needed to give up some benefits.

Gray's next words stunned them.

"I need your help with something."

Gray spoke slowly: "First of all, I need to borrow some of your warehouses, and then I need your sales channels. I heard that you have many shops in Field Territory, and even in some surrounding territories."

"As you know, I just came to Field Leader and I'm not very familiar with this place. It would be too slow if I just follow the steps step by step."

Hearing Gray's request, Harry and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then asked with some uncertainty: "You only need a warehouse and sales channels?"

They suspected that their ears had heard it wrong, because they thought Gray would directly come to them to ask for something substantial, such as some shops, markets, etc.

Unexpectedly, Gray only wanted the warehouse and channels.

They have plenty of channels.

As big businessmen with a good reputation throughout the Field Territory, their shops are present in almost every town.

Daily necessities, taverns, tailor shops, etc.

Almost all products are involved. No matter what products Gray sells, they can basically find sales channels.

This is not difficult for them at all. They only need to reserve a place for Gray's products.

"of course not."

Gray glanced at Harry as if he was mentally retarded.

Harry secretly thought that it really wasn't that simple.

Gray continued: "At that time, I will need your help to promote it. If a good thing is not exposed, no one will know about it, and it will only be thrown in the corner."

"So I hope you guys can help me when the time comes."

After Gray finished speaking, he thought for a while and then added: "If you are willing, I can also give you the opportunity to become a shareholder, but only this time. After all, these factories use your warehouses, channels and manpower."

"Of course, you can't buy too many shares. If you are interested, it will be calculated as 1% of the shares of 10,000 gold coins, and the upper limit is 3%."

Gray looked at the three Harrys and said, "This is my return gift to you."

Listening to Gray's serious face, and even some expressions of pain, Harry and the three of them fell silent.

I have to say, Master Gray is really a talent.

Look at this language art.

He said asking for money in such a fresh and refined way, and looked like he was at a loss.

He was truly a man who left them all in awe.

With such shame, they feel ashamed.

They knew that when Gray asked them to come, they had to leave something behind.

Gray still didn't know that his kindness was regarded by the three Harrys as asking for money.

Harry and the three of them didn't dare to show that they had seen through it.

The three of them all looked surprised, as if they had gotten a big deal, and they agreed one after another.

The next day, 90,000 gold coins were carried into the castle.

Gray didn't expect that these three old guys were so optimistic about him and immediately bought up all their shares.

"These three old foxes have really good vision. It hurts my heart. They took 9% of my profits. How much money will they earn this year!"

Gray is devastated. Yesterday he should have said that the cap would be 1%.

There is no use saying anything now, Gray can only accept the reality.

Today he planned to go out, not only to see the construction status of the industrial zone, but also to check the progress of the refugee workers' maintenance of Thorn City.

It's been several days, and basically all the refugees around are here.

The number of refugee workers once reached 6,000.

The elderly, women, and children are not included.

A team of six thousand workers worked very quickly.

In just a few days, the main road in Thorn City and the old facilities around the main road have been renovated.

Now workers have gone deep into various trails to carry out deep cleaning in Thorn City.

It is estimated that in another four or five days, all corners of Thorn City will be renovated.

Gray is satisfied with the speed.

After briefly expressing condolences to the workers, he left the city and went straight to the industrial area.

There are already tens of thousands of people working there.

After all, fake refugees come every day to steal food and drink, so the number of people here is also increasing.

The advantage of having more people is that the work becomes very lively.

From time to time, soldiers would use long whips to add other sounds to the clanking construction site.

Looking at the ground that had been paved with gravel, Gray nodded with satisfaction.

The geology of this place is hard, there is not much soil underneath, but a whole layer of rock, which is very solid.

So you only need to add some gravel to pave some potholes to complete the foundation.

The only drawback is that there are some rocky mountains protruding from the center of this place.

These fake refugees have been here to flatten these protruding rocky mountains in the past few days, and now they have reached the completion stage.

Gray felt that he was almost done, so he immediately returned to the city, found a blacksmith shop, and customized some blast boxes.

Then, outside the city not far from the industrial area, he had people build several cement-burning kilns out of clay, stones, and iron plates according to his requirements.

A few days later, when the kiln was ready for use, Gray arrived with a blower and the raw materials for making cement: limestone, clay, iron ore and gypsum.

These raw materials were ordered by Gray and some businessmen before.

There are still a lot of this material in several warehouses in the city.

Gray plans to get some cement to pour the floor of the industrial area first.

He always felt uncomfortable looking at the flat ground paved with gravel. Even if it was eventually paved with some square stone slabs, he still didn't think it would work.

That’s why today’s cement firing happened.

Soon, Gray found dozens of strong people from the fake refugees to grind these raw materials into small particles, preferably into powder.

Then according to memory, mix the materials step by step and put them into the furnace for calcination. With the blast box, the temperature in the furnace rises very quickly.

Gray felt the excitement of the fire element in the furnace.

While communicating with the fire element, he waited for the right question.

Soon, the temperature reached the required level, and Gray immediately asked someone to stabilize the current fire.

After calcining for a sufficient period of time, people take out the calcined materials and mix them with gypsum powder in proportion.

…

Originally, Gray thought that baking cement was a relatively easy job.

Because there are many people he can use.

So he thought it would be done quickly.

In fact, this matter is not as easy as imagined.

Because people in this world have never seen cement and don’t know how to make it, Gray can only provide guidance in person, and sometimes even do it himself.

In addition, after Gray started using it himself, he found that it was still difficult to burn the cement he wanted.

It wasn't until evening that Gray got the cement that met his needs.

And all the people who worked with him were disgraced at the moment.

Including himself.
