Chapter 105 Anderson's Steward and Building the Bank (two chapters in one)

After Ryan returned to the castle from the training ground, he immediately called the butler Anderson.

Butler Anderson, like White, is an old man in the territory. He was the butler of the castle when Ryan's father was still there.

Although his relationship with Ryan is not as close as White's, he has watched Ryan grow up, and Ryan still trusts him.

Anderson's butler's duty is to command all the servants of the castle and take care of Ryan's daily life. At the same time, because he has learned financial knowledge, he is also the financial officer of the territory, responsible for managing the financial affairs of the castle and Yinghuo Town.

Ryan called him here this time because he wanted to discuss currency exchange and the establishment of a bank with him.

After Anderson came to the study, he first saluted Ryan respectfully, then bowed and asked:
"Master Ryan, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"No need to be too polite, you sit down first, I have come to you this time because I have something to discuss with you."

Lane replied.

"No, as your servant, I just need to stand and listen to your instructions, and you don't need to discuss with me, I will faithfully carry out all your orders."

Anderson remained bowed.

Seeing this, Ryan shook his head helplessly, which is why he and Anderson are not close.

Butler Anderson's concept of superiority and inferiority has been engraved in his bones, and he has always been like this since Ryan's father.

Ryan's father has a carefree personality. He has never cared about the difference between superiors and inferiors. He never bosses subordinates and servants around, but treats them as brothers and friends.

That's why Ryan called White and the Cavaliers uncle. Of course White and others declined, but they couldn't resist Ryan's father and had to accept the title.

Only Anderson was determined not to let Ryan call him uncle. For this matter, he persuaded Ryan's father more than once and angrily scolded White and others for not even having the most basic concept of respect and inferiority, which made them very embarrassed.

All in all, Anderson is a relatively traditional and rigid person. There is no need to question his loyalty to Ryan, but it is just a little difficult to communicate.

However, Ryan was not helpless. He said to Anderson with a serious expression:

"I tell you to sit and you sit. Why, don't you even listen to my orders now?"

"As your most humble servant, I will never disobey your orders!"

Anderson said fearfully.

"Then sit down quickly."

"As ordered!"

After seeing Anderson sit down, Ryan felt that his method was quite useful. When dealing with people like Anderson who have a strong sense of inferiority and inferiority, it is best to speak to him in a commanding tone.

So he continued to say to Anderson with a straight face:
"When I discuss things with you, I don't want you to help me make a decision, but I want to improve my order based on the financial knowledge you have learned, so don't have any worries, just say what I ask you."

"Yes! I will definitely tell you everything!"

Sure enough, after changing his statement, Anderson immediately changed his attitude.

In the following time, Lane explained to Anderson that he wanted to open currency exchange channels and establish a bank. He was afraid that Anderson would not understand, so he also gave a brief introduction to the functions of the bank.

Butler Anderson is indeed a talent who has studied financial knowledge. Although Ryan did not speak in detail, he quickly understood what Ryan wanted to express.

The more he listened, the more shocked he became, with confusion and respect in his eyes. He couldn't understand why Ryan had the genius idea of ​​establishing a bank without having learned any financial knowledge.

Ryan naturally saw the surprise in Anderson's eyes, but he couldn't explain it much. He couldn't tell Anderson that this was an idea he got from another world.

Fortunately, Anderson's character meant that he wouldn't ask any more questions. He just praised Ryan's idea and then started to put forward a series of professional opinions.

Kelian couldn't understand some of the technical terms that came out of Anderson's mouth at all, so he interrupted quickly:

"Since you are the financial officer of our territory, the bank will be entrusted to you to manage it. For things like setting the exchange limit amount, you can make your own decisions. This is an order!"

Seeing that Anderson was refusing, Ryan immediately emphasized that this was an order.

Anderson had no choice but to accept the position, telling Lane:
"I will definitely manage the bank well and live up to your trust in me, but I don't know where the bank should be established? Where should the staff be found?"

Ryan thought for a while and replied:

"I remember there is an empty house next to the mission. Let's use that house for the time being. As for the staff."

Set up a bank next to the mission office. Players and aborigines can go to the mission office to spend money after exchanging currency, but this staff member is indeed a bit difficult to find.

If you want to work in a bank, you must at least be able to read and write and be able to do some arithmetic. However, the education penetration rate in this era is extremely low. Most of the aborigines are illiterate, and very few can read, let alone do arithmetic.

Apart from Ryan and White, the only people in Firefly Town who knew how to read were the knights' retinue and some servants in the castle.

Knights' retinues will have the opportunity to become knights in the future, and knights are more or less nobles. This requires knights' retinues to learn writing and aristocratic etiquette from an early age.

At the beginning, Captain Raymond was not selected because he was too illiterate and did not meet the requirements for knight selection.

The servants in the castle can read because Anderson is teaching them. Anderson believes that only servants who have mastered a certain culture can better serve the lord.

Thanks to him teaching these servants how to read, Ryan was able to find a head maid who was more literate to be the manager of the mission.

Thinking of this, Ryan said to Anderson:

"If it doesn't work, you can find a few maids who are more literate. You can teach them some simple arithmetic in the past two days. Anyway, the bank will limit the amount of exchange, and the amount of calculation will not be very large."

"Arithmetic requires talent. It is difficult to master them in a short period of time. Moreover, there are not many servants in the castle. If you transfer a few more maids, there will be fewer people to serve you, and your quality of life will also be affected. Not guaranteed.”

Anderson looked a little embarrassed.

"Why do I need so many servants? Three or four are enough. Besides, why should I continue to recruit people in the future?"

Ryan actually thinks it doesn't matter if there are fewer servants. He lived well by himself in his previous life.

However, there are still a few servants left, otherwise he is really not used to it.

Since traveling to this world, Ryan has been gradually corrupted by the aristocratic life. He has to admit that it is really fun to have clothes to eat and food to eat.

Now he doesn't even have to put on his own clothes, and even when he takes a bath, a maid will come to ask if he wants to wash him.

If Tian Zhuzhu hadn't refused for him, he might not have been able to resist the temptation.

It can only be said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but there is still no problem in reducing a few servants.

"But."

"No but, I have already decided. You don't need to persuade me anymore. As for your arithmetic talent, I can teach you a few tricks."

Lane taught Anderson Arabic numerals and multiplication.

Needless to say, the importance of Arabic numerals for arithmetic, and the ninety-nine multiplication formula is the crystallization of the ancient mathematical wisdom of the flower planters.

With these two "weapons", it must be possible to reduce the difficulty of learning arithmetic for some servants.

When Anderson first heard about Lane's arithmetic skills, he was a little skeptical.

After all, he had watched Ryan grow up. He knew that Ryan had never been exposed to arithmetic since he was a child, so how could he possibly summarize the skills of arithmetic.

As a result, after listening to Ryan's explanation of Arabic numerals and the multiplication formula, Anderson's mouth almost opened as wide as a sonic boomer.

Is it possible that there are really people who are born with knowledge in this world?
He really couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he broke his rule of not asking too many questions and asked Ryan:

"Master Ryan, how do you know this knowledge?"

Ryan wanted to use the universal reason that he read books when he was a child, but he suddenly thought that Anderson seemed to have read all the books in the castle, and he was the one who taught him how to read when he was a child. He knew exactly what books he would read. .

Since the reason of reading the book can't be used, let's just repeat what I said to fool White, just to tell Anderson the difference between the players.

After all, if he wants to manage the bank in the future, he will definitely have to contact the players. Explaining to him the identity of the players' visitors to the God Realm can also help him prepare mentally in advance.

"It's a long story. Didn't I slip and fall into the water a few days ago, when I was unconscious."

Ryan told Anderson about the settings of the creation god revelation and the guests from the gods.

Anderson certainly didn't believe it at first. Like White, he was an atheist and thought Lane was bewitched by a cult.

But after Ryan pulled out several bags of Pokémon food out of thin air, Anderson had no choice but to believe it.

"This this."

Anderson didn't know what to say for a moment. After learning that Ryan had received the help of the Creator God, he immediately figured out the few things that had puzzled him before.

No wonder Ryan suddenly became less afraid of Warcraft, and his temperament also changed a lot. No wonder Ryan was able to come up with so many magical props. He originally thought these treasures were the old lord's private collection.

And those refugees turned out to be visitors from the God Realm. No wonder they all behaved so strangely, and Ryan allowed them to live in the castle.

There is an answer to all of this, but the answer is indeed a bit beyond his expectation.

Just when Anderson was still trying to convince himself that there really was a god in this world, he heard Ryan say to him:

"I only told Uncle White and you about this. I hope you don't spread this matter. You also know that there are people from the Sea God Temple in Yinghuo Town. They reject all beliefs except Sea God. If you let them know If we find out about this, I'm afraid it will cause a conflict between us and Poseidon Temple."

When Anderson heard this, he immediately got up and made an oath:

"Please rest assured, I swear on my honor and my life that I will never reveal anything about the God of Creation!"

"Of course I believe in your loyalty, otherwise I wouldn't tell you about this."

Ryan patted Anderson on the shoulder, motioned him not to be so excited, and then continued:

"When I received divine revelation, I not only gained a lot of knowledge about World of Warcraft, but also gained arithmetic skills from the divine world. Arabic numerals and multiplication formulas allowed servants to learn arithmetic faster, and bank staff also had a career. .”

"Yes, with these two skills, I am confident that they will be able to master the most basic arithmetic in two days."

Anderson assured Ryan.

"I am relieved to hear your words. In addition, you must pay attention to those visitors from the God Realm. They have no worse economic knowledge than you, and they have always acted recklessly. Don't let them take advantage of loopholes." Ryan reminded .

Even though he has a title package, he doesn't want to cause too much embarrassment. It is of course best to prevent problems before they happen.

"Understood, I will treat them more carefully."

After Anderson learned that those refugees were visitors from the God Realm, he had already put away his contempt and prepared to deal with them with all his energy.

"Okay, then you go ahead and choose a suitable servant. You have been working hard these two days. You can ask Clerk White for anything the bank needs. I will greet him and ask him to fully cooperate with your work. "

"Yes! Then I'll take my leave first."

After Anderson turned and left, Ryan fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about how to solve the education problem in Yinghuo Town, which he had ignored before.

It wasn't until the mission and the bank needed literate staff that he suddenly discovered that the education penetration rate in the territory was extremely low, or even non-existent.

Most of the residents are illiterate, and they will not let their children learn to read. Unless they are lucky enough to be selected as a knight's retinue, they will have the opportunity to learn to read.

Even if the opportunity to study is so scarce, there will still be knights who don't study hard. An example of this is the captain of the militia who did not want to be named.

Since they were young, their families have instilled the theory that literacy is useless. They believe that learning is of no use and they might as well learn how to farm from their elders.

To be honest, their ideas cannot be wrong. After all, the previous Yinghuo Town did not need so many people who knew how to read.

But today is different from the past. Whether it is a bank that is about to be established or a Pokémon Center that has been included in the establishment plan, a large number of literate talents are needed.

What's more, with the Arad Kingdom in such a chaotic situation, Yinghuo Town will definitely be involved in territorial wars in the future. If it occupies other territories, it will still need talents to manage it.

In terms of combat power, it depends on the players, and management talents still have to be selected from the aborigines.

We can't let players manage the town. With their trouble-making temperament, they might transform the town into an amusement park!
Therefore, the issue of education is still very important, related to the future development of the territory.

"Should we build a school? Put aside other knowledge first, at least let them know how to read."

"If a school is built, it will be a huge financial expenditure, and the residents will definitely not be willing to pay for their children to go to school. The only way is to waive the tuition fees."

"Hey, take your time. If you can't eat a Kirby in one bite, let's get the bank out first."

Ryan couldn't help sighing. It's the bank, the school, and the Pokémon center and breeding farm that he wanted to build a long time ago. All these plans are waiting for him to complete.

"The foundation of the territory is too weak. If Yinghuo Town can be as rich as Guanhai City, I don't have to worry about it here."

"Forget it, what am I dreaming of here in broad daylight? It's better to take advantage of this time to finish making the update announcement and promotional video, and attract more players than anything else."

Ryan shook his head and dispelled his unrealistic fantasy. Players were his foundation, so he should just make promotional videos honestly.

After the joint efforts of him and Xiao Luo in the past few days, the promotional video was almost completed. After Ryan completed some finishing work, he uploaded the promotional video to the official website through the panel.

And this promotional video was just as he expected, like a boulder falling into a small pond, causing huge waves among the player community!
