The political officer, no, Wilson who had been promoted to the chief political officer, got up early.

After quickly washing up, he took only two pieces of bread and hurriedly left the swamp castle with his assistant, ready to start a new busy day.

The air was humid and even had a faint fishy smell of earth, but Wilson found it very fresh.

He took a deep breath, letting the air of Swamp Town enter his chest, which was truly intoxicating.

"Good morning, sir!"

Serin, who was waiting outside the castle gate, came forward and greeted Wilson respectfully.

A few days ago, Ronin dismissed the political officer of Serin Swamp Town and prepared to make him an ordinary citizen.

However, during the subsequent territory inspection and understanding of the government affairs of Swamp Town, Serin's professionalism once again won Roning's favor.

In addition, he had been wholeheartedly assisting Wilson in taking over the government affairs here in the past few days and won Wilson's praise, so Roning allowed him to continue handling government affairs.

However, Sailin did not return to his original position, but temporarily took on the role of "government clerk", which was one level higher than assistant, and his specific work was arranged by Wilson.

"Mr. Selin, Lord Wilson is no longer a political officer."

The assistant beside him whispered, "Yesterday evening, the Lord has appointed Mr. Wilson as the head of government affairs for Wubei Territory."

Government affairs chief?

Sailin was a little surprised. He had never heard of this official title. But based on what his assistant said, he knew that this position should be an upgraded version of a political officer.

"Congratulations, sir!" He quickly straightened his face and congratulated.

Wilson smiled shyly, "This is all due to the great love of the Lord. It is your kindness and trust that have made me who I am today!"

He turned and bowed towards the castle, "Praise your Lord!"

The eldest took the lead in saluting, and the others followed suit.

Wilson actually enjoyed this feeling. He never thought that one day he would have younger brothers around him. It was the wisest decision he had ever made in his life to muster up the courage to apply for the position of political officer at Hillwood Castle.

Coming to his senses, Wilson led his men slowly out of the Swamp Castle, saying as they walked:

"Salin, you have good abilities and are very familiar with the government affairs of Swamp Town. Although you are a minor official now, as long as you serve the adults sincerely, it is not impossible for you to become the government official of Swamp Town again."

Serin shook his head bitterly, "The Lord will not let me be a political officer. After all, I once served Baron Leisen."

"Your Excellency is merciful!"

Wilson emphasized, "Cellin, don't look at Lord Ronin with worldly eyes. You know the Knight Tom who went to the Horse City, right?"

Serin thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "I remember that he was one of the first knights to come to Swamp Town with the Lord."

"right!"

Wilson said: "Tom once worked for Rayson and even drew his sword against the Lord, but the Lord not only did not kill him, but gave him a chance to follow him."

"Now Tom not only has the trust of adults, but is even valued by them."

At this point, he looked at Sailin and said earnestly: "So, work hard, the opportunity is in front of you, it depends on whether you can seize it."

Serin's eyes flickered. He had never expected Tom's experience to be so interesting. Besides, wasn't this similar to his experience?

If Tom can be reused, why can't he?

"I will!"

He believed Wilson.

“Haha, OK!”

Wilson laughed and said, "Then let's assign the craftsmen in Swamp Town according to the list today!"

On the other side, Luo Ning, who had gotten up and washed up, was enjoying his breakfast.

Bread, milk, boiled prawns from Swamp Town and fresh vegetables. Although the taste is average, it is nutritionally balanced and easy to get used to.

"Master, do you need me to have someone notify Gallon and Bella in Hillwood Town to come over?"

Chahar asked softly while respectfully handing over the towel for wiping the mouth.

Although the Swamp Castle had recruited new servants, it had not recruited any personal servants or maids, so Chahar had been serving them for the past two days.

But Chahar was busy during the day and was often away, and he was worried that no one would take good care of the lord.

"No need, I will go back to Shanlin Town in a few days."

Luo Ning took the towel and wiped his mouth. "I heard that Kalus' iron smelting technology and Jim's kiln have made some progress. I haven't had the chance to see them yet."

"He has arrived a long time ago. I have asked him to wait in the living room for a long time." Chahar replied.

Pearson, a thin, tall middle-aged man, was waiting anxiously in the living room.

Although the servant of the Swamp Castle poured him a glass of water, he did not dare to drink it easily because he did not know why the new lord asked him to come over.

Should he be held accountable for his service to Rayson? Or should he be allowed to continue serving Swampburg like Serin did? Pearson hoped it would be the latter.

Over the years, he has been accustomed to traveling around and selling goods with the caravan of Swamp Castle. To be honest, he would find it difficult to adapt if he were asked to give up this career and pick up a hoe to till the land instead.

As footsteps sounded, Pearson stood up like a spring. He turned his head and looked at the young man walking towards him with both nervousness and anticipation.

Silver hair and black eyes, the symbol of the Wushan family.

He bowed deeply: "Greetings, Lord Viscount!"

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Pearson."

Luo Ning raised his hand and said, "Please sit down."

Pearson sat down nervously, his back straight, and asked carefully: "I wonder what instructions the master has for me to come here?"

"You don't have to be nervous."

Roning's tone was very gentle. He knew that many people in the town felt pressured in front of him. After all, he did not replace Lei Sen by peaceful means.

"I heard that you have been leading the caravan in Swamp Town. I would like to hear about your experience."

Pearson secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like the lord was not here to cause trouble for him, and he seemed to be able to smell the opportunity here.

Next, Pearson talked about his work over the years.

There are basically only two types of things that Swamp Town sells to the outside world: black buffalo and aquatic products.

The sales of black buffalo are usually led by Lei Sen. After all, only the nobles can afford them and purchase them in bulk.

Pearson is mainly responsible for transportation and care, ensuring that the goods can be delivered to the customers smoothly.

It is different for aquatic product sales.

High-end fish and shrimp are monopolized by the Green family in Lake Town, and the smuggled fish and shrimp in Swamp Town are generally sold to ordinary people living in the town.

Roning couldn't help but wonder if Lei Sen had business considerations when he attacked the Green family before?

Pilson is mainly responsible for the sales of aquatic products. According to him, he has established cooperation with many businessmen from other places over the years.

Both fresh and dried seafood can be sold in Swamp Town.

"Sir, according to past statistics, Swamp Town earns three to four hundred gold coins every year from fish, shrimp and other smuggled goods."

After introducing his job, Pearson decided to recommend himself, "Swamp Town needs a caravan, and I'm willing to serve you!"

Luo Ning nodded with great satisfaction.

Even though he has a lot of money now, it is not much that he actually earned from business.

Swamp Town earns three to four hundred gold coins every year just from the sale of aquatic products, which is a considerable amount for a barony.

Luo Ning naturally would not give up this income.

"I do need a caravan."

Roning looked at Pearson and said, "I also recognize your ability, so next I think we can talk about the compensation for you and your caravan members."

The other party has ready-made sales channels, so there is no need for Roning to give up Pearson and rebuild the caravan.

As for whether the other party will embezzle the sales proceeds, you don’t need to think too much about this issue.

Records are kept before each shipment. Even if the other party can make some extra money, that is their ability.

Business and sales are not so clean.

For Roning, as long as there is enough money deposited into his account, that is enough.

However, there is one thing that needs to be considered.

Pearson is just an ordinary man, and his men are ordinary people too.

If you are transporting valuable items, such as selling black buffalo in bulk, or selling silk, porcelain and the like in the later stage, it will not work without knights in the team to escort you.

"When the time is right, we will need to find a professional knight to serve as a transport officer." (End of this chapter)
