Chapter 150 Looking for Business

Chapter 150 Looking for Business
"Calm down!" Pollock was dumbfounded, and Bai Tongtong's words were a little scary.

"Calm down, if you waste my time again, I'll bury you alive and stop placing an order for you."

"Actually, there is nothing else important. I know that there are thieves coming to your manor, so I want to try my luck again to see if I can rent it. I will exchange information with you. He is also in the vegetable business, so I heard recently that he has united his friends to get a larger arable land than your Salter Village to grow vegetables together, and then rely on his connections to grab your current business site." Pollock was not in the middle. He finished the long speech with panting.

"Oh, Earl Kinloch wants to steal my business. You know this information, so you want to exchange my manor?" Bai Tongtong actually heard everything clearly.

"Exchange, I can also help you clean up those underworld families and ensure that they will not hinder your future construction work."

"To be honest, I really don't plan to make money from agriculture. Even if they take away all my existing business sites, I won't frown."

"Of course, the news about you asking the factory owner to cooperate in the production of pen refills has spread to the capital, but many people are talking about the condition of passing the exam first."

Bai Tongtong shrugged, "It's none of my business, I don't force it."

"Ordinary factory owners don't study much, so it's hard to meet your requirements, but the students who dropped out of the Magic Academy, if they don't have wasted knowledge, maybe they can come and have a try. I think your purpose is here, right?"

"This is called making full use of talents." Bai Tongtong admitted bluntly.

"Well, agriculture still needs to be done. It's too wasteful to leave such good arable land without planting things. The Earl of Kinloch wants to rob your business and let him rob it. You can change to planting grain. How many people will be harvested and sold for as long as you have?" If you go to a country that is at war, the profit will be many times higher if you change hands.”

"Oh, the high-profit business let you do it, so I can earn some hard money?"

"Didn't you just say that you don't rely on agriculture to make money?" Pollock stared at Bai Tongtong who spoke inconsistently with an innocent smile.

Bai Tongtong gave him two middle fingers and supercilious eyes.

"Hey, since you are waiting for the money, you must know how to lower your stance at the right time, and rent your manor to me. If I get some good things outside, I will show you them first, and then give them to other merchants after you have selected them. Why? Like? Is it generous enough for you?"

"You know how to do raw material business?"

"Well, although I don't make raw materials, it doesn't take much effort to bring a few samples back, right?"

"I'm curious why you are so generous to me?"

"I'm flattering the nobles. I'm definitely optimistic about your future. When you become a master in the future, I can get more benefits." Pollock's smiling face didn't know how much truth he was telling.

"Okay, I will trust you again and lend you the manor, but there is one condition."

"One hundred will also promise you."

"It doesn't need to be so much, you just need to tell me the latest developments in the capital once a week. I know you are busy, so you don't need to come in person, just writing a letter is enough."

"Oh, this one."

"I will confiscate your rent for the manor, which is lent to you for use. I have a different status now. If people report that I have close contacts with smugglers, um, you can figure it out."

"But you obviously have a better news channel, don't you? It's not a secret that your senior is now the chief clerk. I heard how many letters you exchanged with each other a while ago?"

"Ah, yes, there are really no secrets in the capital, but I don't need you to worry about my relationship with that senior."

"Uh, that senior of yours is the most well-informed man in the capital. You leave him alone and let me collect information. Tsk tsk, can I boldly question it?" Pollock put a stick on his face without guilt. gold.

"No." Bai Tongtong refused without thinking. She leaned forward, grabbed Pollock's coat collar with both hands, and pulled him closer. It has nothing to do with you. If you want to borrow my manor, you have to send me the weekly news of the capital, otherwise I will take back the manor anytime and anywhere. I think there must be few people you put there that can beat my cat .”

"I promise to give you the latest news from the capital every week, but I don't guarantee the authenticity. Even if you are not happy, I still have to say that the chief clerk is the most well-informed man in the capital. I still want to borrow yours. Bridge has a relationship with that Your Excellency."

Bai Tongtong raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, let go of Pollock's collar with both hands, and clasped his neck tightly instead, rubbing his thumbs gently along his chin, "Don't always bring that gentleman in, it's up to you I don’t think you are any worse than anyone else in terms of intelligence gathering, if you want to make money with me, you have to listen to me.”

"I have no objection at all, everything is up to you, respectable Countess Wismar." Pollock raised his hand to break Bai Tongtong's clamped hands, kissed her fingers politely, and twisted his neck left and right.

Bai Tongtong withdrew his hand and took a few steps back to escape.

After a while, Harding, with curly hair all over his body, trotted back to his master. Farrell used his finger as a comb and combed it a few times, bringing out a lot of dirt and leaves from his hair.

【Have a good time?Ok? 】

【Aren't you having a good chat? 】Harding lowered his gaze, saw Farrell's crumpled collar, and it licked his mouth, 【She is the Countess now, even if she speaks rudely to you, you are so angry that the top of your head is smoking, but you have to make a move on her A hair can catch you and go to jail. She was stupid for not caring about you not saluting just now. 】

With a hurt expression on his face, Farrell stood up and grabbed Harding's collar, and launched the wind travel spell to go home.

After changing and washing, and sitting comfortably in the living room waiting for dinner, Harding cleaned himself up and ran into the room to huddle with Farrell on the couch.

[How are things going?Have you got the estate? 】

[I got it, the condition is that I will give her Wangdu news every week. 】

【Let 'Pollock' collect information for her?Obviously, this kind of thing should go to 'Farrell'. 】 Harding joked.

[I tried it, but she was not happy, it felt like she had more respect for 'Farrell' and refused to be dragged into it by 'Pollock'. 】

[Look, the development of things is slowly out of your control. Sooner or later, she will find out that these two names are the same person. She is smart, and you just wait to be cleaned up by her. A woman's hysteria is terrible. , especially since she also knows magic. 】Harding raised his head and looked around, and then at the ceiling, 【This house has been around for many years, it's really hard to say goodbye. 】

Farrell clasped Harding's neck with both hands, gritted his teeth with a vicious look, 【I didn't mean to lie to her, I didn't know that things would turn out like this at the beginning, if you don't help me think of a way and throw cold water on me, you're so mad me. 】

[I can't help it, I went to fight with the cat, and when I came back, I saw you being pinned to the ground by her, and you took the alias as your real name on your own initiative, and took the initiative to get close to her again and again, and now the situation is like this , or you should take advantage of this opportunity to get the manor and send people there, and let those people be in charge of contacting and contacting her, and 'Pollock' should not show up again. 】

Farrell let go, 【Pollock disappeared?Don't forget, she already knew that I was in the palace that day, but she didn't mention it just now, I don't know if she forgot or didn't mention it on purpose. 】

[She didn't mention it?How crafty.Perhaps it was for this reason that she agreed to lend the manor as a token of loyalty. 】Harding jumped to the ground, shaking the messy hair just now, 【I guess her idea may be that a smuggler who can enter and leave the palace must have an unusual real identity, and she got into trouble in the palace again, since she wanted her Just borrow the manor, and treat it as a flattery to His Majesty? 】

[Then why didn't she suggest that to 'Farrell'? 】

[Because she doesn't know how extensive the scope of 'Farrell''s work is, the only thing she can be sure of is 'Pollock' drinking tea in the palace. 】

Farrell rolled his eyes and rubbed his chin with his hands, 【Your statement actually makes sense. 】

Harding wagged his tail triumphantly, 【I'm so smart, I can tell what the big shots in the elders' house are planning when they poke their buttocks. For political novices who just came to power, flattering His Majesty is the smartest and correct way way of doing. 】

【Well, then I can call people with confidence. 】

[Go, go, do your work. 】Harding jumped onto the single sofa next to him, yawned and lay down in circles.

Farrell rubbed Harding's head vigorously, walked out of the living room and went to the study.

Bai Tongtong, who had already returned to the guild, first sent the plate back to the kitchen, then went back upstairs to rest, waiting for dinner, Ah Huang came in through the wall and jumped onto the bed, looking at Bai Tongtong who was sitting in front of the desk.

【Did you ask why he appeared in the palace? 】

[No question, nothing to ask. 】

【why?You don't want to know anymore? 】

[He wants to hide it, so there is a reason to hide it, and he can enter and exit the palace. Obviously, his identity has a lot to do with His Majesty. It is certain that the smuggler is his cover identity. God knows what he is doing abroad under the identity of a smuggler. It's like being an undercover agent. Only the immediate superior knows his real identity, and he can't even tell his wife and children about his every move outside.I just happened to make the upper echelon unhappy, and that Earl of Kinloch is about to steal my business.Since Pollock wants the manor, why don't you just lend it to him and treat it as a flattery to His Majesty and let him know that I am a sensible person. 】

【whatever. 】Ah Huang lowered his head and licked his fur.

A few hours later, after dinner, she reads in the study and makes a to-do list, writing down all the tasks and experiments she needs to complete at the moment.

The factory is under construction.

Co-producers currently have no new applicants.

The well-drawn trademark needs to be printed by an expert.

Pollock wants to use the manor as a smuggling transit point, and he wants to keep an eye on his subordinates so that he doesn't get himself into trouble.

The Earl of Kinloch is planning to grab his own farming business.

The construction of the two territories is waiting for the rice to come to fruition.

Viscount Camerina's ore hasn't arrived yet.

The bathroom is in dire need of a hot water boiler.

The screen cloth brought back from Marzio needs magnets to make invisible screens.

I need a full set of useful office stationery, sticky notes, typewriters, printers, fountain pens, folders, and file racks.

Storage bracelet and Ah Wong's storage collar.

Throwing down the pen, Bai Tongtong scratched her head, there were so many things to do, and she wished she had another computer.

After resting on the back of the chair for a while, Bai Tongtong put the list in a stack of books in the upper left corner of the office to ensure that he could see it all the time.

Open the book, prepare paper, pens and teleportation runestones, and was about to review what I had read yesterday, when I suddenly remembered something, and found another teleportation runestone from the ring, it was through oppressing Mardo from behind him a few years ago. I got it from my boss, a generous local tyrant, and after only using it a few times, I never contacted him again.

Bai Tongtong activates two runestones, studies the unfolded teleportation array, sees what can inspire him in common, and copies it down in his notebook.One night's study time passed quietly.

In the morning of the next day, Bai Tongtong, who was thinking about her manor, crossed the river with Ah Huang to Wismar in casual clothes. As soon as she appeared at the edge of the forest connected to the manor, she saw Harding running towards them, and Ah Huang shook his beard Growled in displeasure.

Bai Tongtong walked over and touched Harding's ear, "You guys are so fast, you don't waste any time."

Harding purred a few times, turned around and led Bai Tongtong into the manor compound, and entered the room through the back door of the kitchen.

There are already a dozen or so men dressed as ordinary people walking around in the room, constantly carrying down the clothes and other personal belongings left by the previous owner from the upstairs bedroom, and piled them all up in the living room, making the living room neat and tidy. Only the area around the sofa can get down.

A man in his forties, of medium height, with a small beard on his chin, walked into the living room, saluted Bai Tongtong, introduced himself as Bahn, and was the leader of this group of smugglers.

"Mr. Pollock has made it clear that we are here to show Miss Bai the house, and we will collect some specimens of animals and plants in the territory. We will definitely not cause trouble for you."

"It's best if you are sensible. Since I am the Earl of Wismar, sometimes I have to consider the opinions of more people when doing things. Don't make it hard for me to be a human being. I won't ask you what you are doing."

"Don't worry, Miss Bai, we all understand these things. Smugglers are also people who are very sensitive to political trends. Protecting your reputation is protecting our own safety. Even if you risk your life, you will not be harmed in the slightest." .”

"Very good, I'm very happy for you to say that. Keep busy, just help me clean up the house. You can dispose of those clothes, shoes, socks and the like. Keep the study room for me. As the Sopranos, the books they read It’s quite tasteful, and the material of the bookcase is good, so I can continue to use it.”

"Okay, Miss Bai, everything is as you ordered." Bahn bowed respectfully and saluted, Bai Tongtong nodded in return, touched Harding, and then left.

Standing in the sunshine outside the mansion, Bai Tongtong squinted her eyes and set up a pergola with her hands, and decided to go for a walk in the nearby villages. It was time for her people to recognize her face, and to see what local specialties they had.

Didn't Earl Kinloch unite with his friends to grab his own vegetable business? Whatever, isn't she afraid of being robbed of all business opportunities by a noble landowner?
