Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

"Okay, okay! Master Gray's words are enough!"

Several businessmen were overjoyed, and their frowns relaxed.

They never expected that Gray would actually be willing to help them like this just after meeting them once and having a glass of wine.

This young noble seems to be really talking to them?

Although merchants have always been rich, their status is not aristocratic after all, and nobles do not respect merchants too much.

Even if those businessmen brought them huge benefits.

In the eyes of the nobles, it is also because of their permission and support that these businessmen have their current wealth.

Therefore, the friendship between businessmen and nobles is usually accompanied by huge benefits, and is destined to be a relationship dominated by intern nobles.

And it is really rare to find a noble person as friendly as Gray.

Gray gave them the feeling that there was no aristocratic arrogance and alienation at all.

It's like treating them as true friends.

Of course, the three Harrys are all old foxes who have lived for decades.

No matter how close Gray was to them, this was the first time they met.

After a brief exchange, Harry and the three of them knew that Gray seemed approachable, but if he thought about it carefully, he knew that this nobleman was not simple.

Being able to put down the aristocratic airs without any psychological burden, and be able to chat with old guys like them in a good-natured manner, and it makes people feel very comfortable.

The ability to grow light is not something that ordinary people have.

All three of them secretly lamented that the Countess had found a good helper.

Thinking of the countess's always tough attitude, and then thinking of Gray's approachability.

All three of them felt that there was still hope for Thorn City.

It wasn't until the lunch was almost over that Gray finally spoke: "I just heard you say that many of your shops have been smashed, and even many factories outside the city have been burned down. I was very heartbroken after hearing this."

"After all, it is easy to destroy, but it is too difficult to create. After all, you are big businessmen in our territory and have contributed a lot to the territory. You are worried that Anna will not let your losses be in vain, and the Field family will not treat everyone who contributes to the territory badly. People who give.”

"The refugee problem will be solved soon. As a friend, I don't want you to keep losing money because of the factory problems. Well, it happens that an industrial zone will be built near Thorns City specifically to support you in building factories."

"This incident has made us understand that buildings with great economic value like factories still need to pay attention to their safety. Although this refugee incident was not caused by the Field family, the lord is responsible after all, and I can make the decision. , we will rebuild the factory for you at a very low price. You only need to be responsible for the workers’ food and five copper coins a day. What do you think?”

As soon as Gray finished speaking, the three businessmen and Tina on the side frowned.

Harry and the three looked at each other.

They couldn't believe their ears.

Originally they were worrying about their own factory problems.

Businessmen did not become rich overnight, but had a slow development process.

This means that most of their bases are not in big cities like Thorn City.

On the contrary, it is in some small towns that the merchants have their roots.

Because businessmen are civilians after all.

Most civilians slowly develop and grow in small places, and then gradually encroach on the market in big cities.

The same is true for the three Harrys. Most of their factories were built in the early days, so most of them are near small towns.

So this time they were severely damaged.

They are also considering whether to buy land in Thorn City to set up a factory.

It's just that Thorn City has many requirements, and the factory requires a large area, and the price is probably more than ten times higher than outside.

So during this period, several businessmen were anxious about finding a suitable place to rebuild their factory and could not sleep all night.

Now when they heard the word industrial zone, the three people's eyes lit up.

"Master Gray, what does industrial area mean?"

The three of them surrounded Gray with shining eyes.

Gray waved his hand to signal them to calm down, and then he spoke, smelling of alcohol.

"That's you, and I won't tell anyone else. Isn't the plain next to the City of Thorns near the Lena River unable to be turned into farmland due to soil quality problems? Anna had wanted to expand the City of Thorns before, but she never had the chance."

"Now the monsters are restless, and Field Territory has suffered some losses. Many merchants and nobles in the territory are panicked. You don't need to hide it. I understand you, so I tell you that Thorn City is planning to expand the city area. The main reason is to Add an industrial area.”

"It is specially used to build factories for you, and the land price will not be very high. Of course, it is not high now. When the industrial zone is repaired and the city walls are occupied, not only you, but other businessmen will definitely take notice!"

"The land price will not necessarily be high by then. After all, the industrial zone is protected by a city wall, and in order to make up for your losses, the commodity tax on each item will be reduced a little. The most important thing is that the industrial zone is part of Thorn City. Every day There will be guards patrolling to ensure safety.”

"It can be said that building a factory in the industrial zone is definitely the safest place in the entire Field. Moreover, this is the most prosperous place in Field. A considerable part of your products are sold in the city. By then, you won't have to do what you did before. Hiring escorts to escort merchandise… oh, there are so many benefits.”

Gray pretended to be too drunk and didn't want to say more.

He finally said: "Someone has already reserved a large piece of land. If you want it, you must do it as soon as possible. You know how attractive the news I said is. You go back and think about it carefully."

After Gray finished speaking, he motioned to the maids to see off the guests.

Harry, the three of them, and Naken just left like that.

The three of them stood firmly in place as if they had roots on their feet.

"This is a great thing. Mr. Gray, if what you say is true, of course we are willing to buy land to build a factory. But you also know that we have suffered too many losses recently. If we want to buy land, It will definitely cost a lot of money, there is only one chance, and we want to make sure, will the industrial zone really be established?"

Harry was a little unsure, and his expression was a little tangled. He heard clearly what Gray just said.

If the factory has the patronage of the Field family, of course he is willing, and the other party also promises to lower the commodity tax

Commodity tax is the bulk of commercial tax revenue.

Not to mention too much, even if each item is reduced by one copper plate, if a small amount adds up to a big sum, it will be an astronomical sum in a year.

This is a real benefit!

No one will be unmoved when it comes to commodity tax.

The only thing that made him hesitate was that the news came from Gray. If it came from the Countess, then he would have to spend all his money to buy a piece of land in an industrial area.

So worth it.

Gray had already anticipated the other party's reaction.

He casually threw a planning document on the table.

Above is the development map of the industrial area and some data. Most importantly, it has the countess's signature and the seal of the Field family.

Upon seeing this, Harry and the three of them suddenly took a breath.

This is real!

In an instant, the three of them felt excited.

Unexpectedly, I was waiting for someone to come for a meal and bump into this incredible wealth!

The three of them got excited on the spot and signed a contract directly on the spot.

They determined their attitude of building a factory locally.

That afternoon, boxes of gold and silver jewelry were carried from the manor to Rose Castle by three people.

Tina on one side was numb.

She had been following Gray just now and witnessed with her own eyes that this guy made a full three hundred thousand gold coins in just one lunch just by talking about it.

This almost cost the three of them most of their net worth.

But instead of feeling uncomfortable, the three of them looked happy.

Those who were happy with their contracts went home.

Of course, they spent three hundred thousand gold coins not only to buy land, but also included a factory building package. They were even prepared to build some employee dormitories, bathhouses, toilets, and even sewers and other facilities under Gray's instigation.

Mainly because what Gray said was so good, this guy was even able to draw the effects and show them to them.

The most important thing is that no capitalist can resist the temptation to make employees 996.

With the dormitory, employees can save time to go home, control the time employees go to and from work, and even work in alternating black and white shifts.

After hearing Gray's words, the three of them felt like they were enlightened.

Wonderful.

Why didn't they think of using the evening time?

If the factory could be kept running all day long, wouldn't production efficiency take off?

They were trembling with excitement just thinking about it.

In this case, building employee dormitories, employee bathhouses, canteens, toilets, etc. are of little importance.

The three Harrys even felt that they had bought too little land, and were planning to borrow more money to buy more land.

Build more staff dormitories so that workers can work with peace of mind.
