The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

The situation in Tanhausen city came to an end. All the people in the crusade team in the caravan recovered after a few days of rest. Everyone got the reward paid by Barnett I. After celebrating happily, he embarked on the eastbound journey.

The caravan starting from Tanhausen, will go east through the land of the Kingdom of Villingen, enter the southern part of Charles’ neighbor Biberach, and then go south to enter Charles’ grandfather Randtjin’s Territory, and then continue eastward to the sea, take a boat to the City of Knowledge and then take a boat south along the coastline from there, and finally arrive at the land of the spirits before the new year.

There were two more passengers in the caravan along the way, the 12-year-old Alfred Hufen, the son of a food merchant, and his mother Hufen The wife was sitting on the bus in the caravan, and their destination was the City of Knowledge at the mouth of the river.

Alfred will start studying at the Zhongguancun Applied Arts Academy in Zhongguancun there from next year. He will go there in advance to get familiar with the environment.

His ancestor was Knight at the northern border of the Kingdom of Bischberg. It was only since his grandfather generation that he did not have the innate talent, martial skill and magic level of Knight. The title of Knight. By the time Alfred this generation is the last generation to inherit the title of Knight, if he doesn't get much better, then his child can only be a commoner.

Like many similar people, Alfred’s father chose to do business. Fortunately, he has an innate talent for business, and he has made a lot of money for himself and the lord. His lord hinted to him that if he can still make money for himself, then continuing to canonize Knight is not impossible.

In order to find a reliable assistant and to inherit the title, Old Hu Fen decided to send Alfred to the City of Knowledge to learn business knowledge.

In order to have a good relationship with this Legendary caravan and at the same time let Alfred gain insights, Old Hu Fen did not let his wife and children go south like everyone else and arrive at the City of Knowledge by boat, but Let them follow the caravan all the way.

Because Old Hu Fen and the caravan Second Boss Aubrey met, Alfred was quite free in the caravan, and could sometimes ride around the caravan on his own horse. After running before.

And his favorite thing to do is to chat with Charles who is similar to his own age.

This day was approaching noon. After Charles and Halkara finished learning the Elvish language for today, Alfred came to him again.

Alfred rode his horse to the side of the kitchen wagon and said to Charles on the roof: "Charles, how about the two stories between you and me?"

Charles laughed, "Let's talk about it."

Alfred cleared his throat and said, "A long time ago, a rich man said to a down-and-out businessman, I have a basket of fish and a I want to give you a fishing rod, which one would you choose?"

"Charles, how would you choose if it were you?"

Charles laughed, he didn’t answer directly, but Ask Elizabeth, who is also sitting on the roof of the car: "elder sister, which one would you choose?" Elizabeth smiled and stroked Charles' head, and said, "I am the rich man."

She was right. The origin of this story was that she asked Aubrey this question when she met Aubrey, who had failed in business. Later, Aubrey's answer made her very satisfied, she only supported Aubrey, and then there was the caravan now.

Charles asked again: "How did Aubrey answer that year?"

Elizabeth recalled for a moment and said: "Back then, he said, if you only choose fishing rods, he said Maybe he starved to death before he catches the fish. If he chooses only fish, it will only delay the starvation time, so he chooses both."

Then Charles turned his head and sat in the driver's seat of the carriage. Tonio asked: "Tonio, how would you choose?"

Tonio immediately replied: "Are you stupid? I'm a chef. Of course I want fish to cook. Sell ​​it as a grilled fish."

Charles asked Halkara again, and Halkara took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and shook it. "I just pour it into the water and the fish will eat it. Now."

Alfred couldn't help but shiver after hearing this.

Charles was speechless at Halkara, and then he asked Alfred, "Is there a river in the place where the story you tell happened? Is there a lot of fish in the river, is there a city or town nearby? "

Alfred was taken aback by Charles' question, subconsciously replied: "There is a river, and there are many fish in the river, right next to the city."

So Charles said : "I chose to fish."

"I first sold the fish and bought fishing rods and hired some children to dig bait. Then I took the fishing rod and bait to the river and rented mine. The person with the fishing rod rents the first fish he catches, or he can use the first fish caught in exchange for a corresponding amount of bait."

"In this way, I can catch the fish every day. All the fishermen took the fish in front and sold them to the city for a good price."

Alfred rode on the horse to meditate after listening. He originally just wanted to show off what he knew to Charles. This story and the trivial truth in the story, the answers I got all exceeded my expectations.

The elven princess, who is still rubbing Charles' head, can let others help her catch the fish. Chef Tonio can turn the fish into grilled fish that can sell for higher prices. That Potion Master The elves can use their own knowledge to obtain fish in the river more conveniently through other methods, and Charles's method...Alfred always felt that there was something in it, but he hadn't figured it out yet.

At this time, Alfred decided in the heart that he must study hard at the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Zhongguancun and try to understand the mysteries.

Charles looked at Alfred who looked thoughtful laughed, and then said to him: "Alfred, how about I also tell you a story?"

" Good!" Alfred nodded agreed.

Charles said: "A little child asked a big businessman, how did you get the hundredth Ole in your life?"

" The big businessman said, When I was ten years old, I found a dinar next to an apple orchard."

"The little child asked, so you went to the apple orchard to buy apples and then sold them. ?"

"Guess how the big businessman answered?"

Alfred thought for a while, and then replied: "The businessman should say he is How do you make a little bit of money by selling apples?"

Charles shook the head," the big businessman said, he took 19 dinars of the pocket money he saved and added him The dinar he picked up was exchanged with father for an Ole, and then all his pocket money was just enough to save a hundred Ole."

"Ah?!" Yar Fred was there looking at Charles dumbfounded, without turning his mind.

After a while, Alfred, who felt his brain was dead, went to the bus and asked his mother for help.

Elizabeth knocked Charles on the head, "All my brain is wrong."

Charles holding head yelled unjustly: "You can't blame me, this is from my father. Something, who made me great-grandfather give him so much pocket money before."

Then Charles laughed helplessly, this can be considered the characteristics of his family, and his father’s grandfather throws money at his father. Cultivated as a businessman, his own grandfather trained him in the direction of scholar, and the tradition of one generation of businessman and generation of scholar in their family has been maintained.

In the bus, Alfred told his mother what had just happened.

Madam Hu Fen said to her son: "Alfred, do you know which noble is the richest in the north of the river?"

Alfred shook the head.

Ms. Hu Fen said: "There is a saying among businessmen that the two richest humans on the continent are nobles. Sugar-based Megadon Family."

"Oh!" Alfred Mouth opened wide.

Mrs. Hu Fen continued: "Seven years ago, the Kingdom of Bischberg had a'Fool's Gold Disturbance'. At that time, the price of Fool's Gold was continuously skyrocketing. At that time, the former Count Megadon who passed by Royal Capital said This will lead to a disaster. He hurriedly left the royal capital in the second day. At that time, countless businessmen participated in this hype, and only a few people including your father heard the judgment of Count Megadon. Then I chose to quit in time. Then, as count said, disaster came and countless merchants lost their money. Only those who quit in time, including your father, made a fortune."

Mrs. Hu Fen touched her son’s head, “Count Megadon is a rare businessman full of wisdom. If you can learn something from Charles, even if you can’t understand it now, you have to remember it in the future. Slowly understand, it will benefit you endlessly."

Alfred was nodded on the side.

Next, Charles regretted that he was okay to pretend to be nothing, but a tag-a-long that always told him to tell stories was stuck behind him.

Also, Alfred’s father and Aubrey are old, and he is a guest of the caravan, which makes it difficult for Charles to forcibly drive him away.

What if he gives a bad review to the service of the caravan because of this, it would be strange if Aubrey didn't stew Charles.
