This time after returning to Uxhall, De Lassel finally got a chance to recuperate, which is truly precious.
Today, the kingdom is in an advantageous position in the war. The super-large-scale army of King Harlaus X has already advanced to Dakeburg and Shiko Village of the enemy Khergit Khanate.
The enemy must be busy with this war and exhausted, and definitely won't have the time to care about De Lassel.
As for whether the negotiation with the Valkyrie Tianyan was carried out and whether it went smoothly, De La Serre would not consider this issue now. After all, it was none of my business. The most urgent task for me was to develop Uxhall!
The trip took a total of 5-6 days until we returned safely. Everyone was exhausted when they returned home that night and went to bed early, leaving all matters for the next day.
So when De La Salle woke up again and the morning sun shone into his penis and roasted his butt, a whole week had passed.
We have ushered in another happy and joyful collection time!
While everyone was still asleep, De Lassel quietly communicated with the system. When they woke up, he had to use magic to explain everything...
System, let us collect it!
At this time, the system complained: [You are well rested, but I am still fucking sleepy. ]
But despite the complaints, it still operates and works as usual, rain or shine.
[Uxhall and its three subordinate villages have collected a total of 5,300 dinars this week. Congratulations, the grape business is going very smoothly. With the remaining money, you now have a total of 8,000 dinars. ]
Very good, very good. I will praise the businessman Manide, this little bastard, for he really didn't disappoint me.
De Lassel thought to himself: For the remaining two villages, build watchtowers and training grounds, and then recruit level 2 soldiers in all three villages.
[Construction is successful, and the remaining 2 villages gain the skills of "Scout 1" and "Coach 1". ]
[Recruitment successful, you get a total of 9 level 2 Swadian soldiers, deduct the recruitment fee and construction fee, as well as the recent food expenses and hiring fees, you still have 3,000 dinars left. ]
De La Serre was quite satisfied with this. He took another look at the overall situation of the troops:
[You have 9 level 2 Swadian soldiers, no one is in charge, and they are on standby. ]
[You have three level 5 Swadian Iron Knights, with Xiao Ming as the captain.]
[You have 10 tier 4 tavern hired knights, with Xiaonan as the captain.]
[You have 4 Tier 2 tavern hired veterans, without a commander, in the town of Uxhall, acting as gatekeepers.]
[You have 3 special characters, Dragon Mother Safiya (Friendliness 42), Merchant Manide (Friendliness 55), and the captive Nayan Tulu. ]
Well, seeing his troops growing stronger, De Lassel was in a very happy mood.
[System prompt: You are happy, but I am still very sleepy. If you have anything else to ask, please hurry up or I will be offline.]
Damn, can you stop being so lazy? Show me the character's overall status again and again, and then you can clock out, okay~

[Comment: I don’t work so hard for you, I work for the readers who have data obsession. As long as they are satisfied, that’s all.]
Okay, just go to bed after get off work. Hearing about firebirds and turkeys again, De Lassel was furious.
Anyone would be angry. It's not easy to get a title that sounds awesome, but it's been played around with until now...
After a quick wash, De Lassel came out of the bedroom and had breakfast with everyone.
During breakfast, he said, "After you fell asleep last night, I used magic, that is, Magic~ to build the watchtowers and training grounds of the remaining two villages. Now our defense system is more complete."
"Really? That's great! The villagers will surely live safer and happier lives than before. Baron, you're so nice~" Safiya responded happily.
"But the cost of using magic is that it will cost a lot of money..." After saying this, De Lassel glanced at the merchant Manid who was drinking mushroom soup.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked at the merchant Manid.
He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable all over and almost choked. After swallowing the soup in his mouth, he slowly said:
"Well, my dear master, I think the grape business is going well, and you should have collected a lot of dinars..."
"Hey, my God of Wealth, I've already said that the cost of using magic is going to be a lot of money."
"You are too kind, Baron. I am not the God of Wealth. I am just an ordinary businessman."
"I think you are the God of Wealth. You are the God of Wealth! Let me put it this way. I am a reasonable person. Manide, I will give you three days to come up with a way to make money."
De Lassel used the Valkyrie's catchphrase, and suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense and was really damn useful.
"Well... do you think we should expand the grape business?"
"No, Manide, you have to know that grapes are not a luxury after all."
After swallowing a mouthful of bread, De La Serre continued:
"The reason why we sell at a high price now is because there are not many of these fruits in the kingdoms. If our supply volume becomes large, but there are only so many people in the kingdom, the demand will be so high, so our price will gradually drop in order to sell them! Besides, sooner or later, others will be able to grow them, so continuing to expand is not a good business model."
Safiya agreed with the Baron's words and echoed:
"Besides, if the scale is expanded, the villagers in our three villages will be overwhelmed. The current situation is almost the limit."
[Reward: Wisdom +1. Your business accomplishments are much better than your war accomplishments.]
Without waiting for the merchant Manid to object, De La Serre continued:
"Manide, there's no need to persuade me. I won't expand the grape business, and I don't want the villagers to work so hard. You are also a person who cares about the villagers. I hope you can think about it again and find another way to make money."
"I understand, my honorable master. I will get to work now." After hearing these words, the merchant Manide agreed in his heart, so he got up and left, locked himself in the room, and began to think hard.
