The rest of the day was simpler.
Alia Hamilton left the next day. On the day of her departure, Sean took Luke, Dante, and a group of guards with him and walked them far away from the town.
Although he did not give any special instructions to the townspeople, they still accompanied him to see the Countess off.
In fact, if you think about it in detail, the residents of the town really don’t have much to do in the winter. If it weren’t for the disaster that broke out in Xi Village, it is estimated that few people would be seen walking around the town throughout the winter. Their long-standing habits have made them develop a casual character.
So when Alia decided to bring in various businesses, Sean initially refused because it was too fast and the people in the town would easily become upset.
The disruption of long-term living habits can easily lead to xenophobia, so Sean tries to suppress the number of foreign businessmen as much as possible. At the same time, he also begins to select open-minded people from some local businessmen to drive the initiative of the entire town residents.
Things are pretty good these days, at least the residents of the entire town are in good condition... With the help of Koga City, Sean is confident that he can bring the less than 10,000 local people in the town to a higher standard of living.
But from now on they can only rely on themselves. Once they move from a simple life to a wealthy one, it will be difficult to get out of it. This is why Sean is worried that once the city of Koga gives up funding Thelmian, all the planned things may be scrapped in less than a year.
After all, the town is located in the mountains. It would be too difficult for such a place to develop on its own without the support of a powerful family like Earl Hamilton, especially the construction of roads. That kind of expense is not something a baron like himself can afford.
so……
You have to go out.
Going further, since you can see the properties of most things in this world, you should make good use of them. You can't always be confined to a small mountain village.
Due to the inconvenience of delivering goods to the small town, the reconstruction work in Xi Village took almost a month to be basically completed.
As for the market and mercenary guild in the town, they have basically taken shape, and the mercenary guild in Koga City has also specially dispatched two permanent personnel here. It is said that they moved here with their families. This shows the sincerity of the mercenary guild, so Sean asked Luke to arrange accommodation for the two families.
From now on... and for many years to come, they will be responsible for managing the daily work of the mercenary guild.
On the day the guild opened, Sean even went to see it...
Because it was a guild in a small place, it wasn't that luxurious and felt like the hall of one's own home. The head of the Mercenary Guild of Telemian was called Andermai, a middle-aged man in his forties. His health was fixed at 4,000 points, twice as much as Dan's. However, he spoke very modestly and didn't act like a strong man.
It's a bit like that...how should I put it.
He's a person who speaks without a hint of harshness, is polite, and is very warm to others. However, every time I talk to Sean, I can always see that he's in a state of "thinking!"
A person with decent abilities would not be this kind of good-natured person, so Sean considered it as a person who is wise but appears foolish.
In addition to being a warrior, Undermine is also a generalist, which means he has some knowledge of herbs, minerals, alchemy, mechanical engineering and archaeology, so one of his purposes here is to count the resources around Thelemian.
This was the first time Sean had encountered this method, at least in this world... In addition to the normal mercenary bounty, the mercenary guild also had a sales method.
Take the herbs of the Thermian Mountains, for example.
If you need it in a city in the north, you can buy it directly through the mercenary guild, because the medicinal materials are actually not expensive, but if you have to hire a group of people to get them, the cost will be too high, and no one is willing to go because the journey is long.
As for the tourist merchants, it depends on the market. Unless you happen to have them or buy them everywhere, it will be difficult to find them. Moreover, the prices are very high and it is not cost-effective for ordinary families unless they are in a hurry.
But it's different with the mercenary guild. The mercenary guild usually counts these local resources for sale. Rare herbs only cost a dozen gold coins, and the cheaper ones even only cost a few gold coins. If needed, the townspeople can go to the mountains to collect them and hand them over to the local guild. The guild will directly pay the other party about 30% of the price, and the rest will be regarded as transportation and delivery fees.
Using this method to replace the randomness of travel merchants is a good business practice.
But it requires a certain scale, and I guess only a mercenary guild can do it!
A month and a half after Alia left, the temperature in the town gradually rose, and the residents began to go out of their homes and prepare to go to the fields to work.
The impact of Xicun Village still exists. Even after rebuilding their homes, the townspeople still occasionally talk about it in their casual conversations... There is not much to talk about in the town. Apart from the newly established market, the daughter of Earl Hamilton and the Mercenary Guild, this incident is the most impressive and the most heartbreaking.
Sean couldn't completely eliminate Zhenmin's feelings, he could only wait for time to pass...
And I also have to prepare for the next plan.
"My lord, I heard some rumors from the Undermine warriors of the Mercenary Guild today. They said that Miss Alia has recently received public support from Viscount Isaac. What we are worried about has happened." Luke beside him reported the intelligence he had collected to him.
