My name is Ren

Chapter 26 I'm a good person, I believe it anyway
There are seven kinds of special products, and the buyout price for one year ranges from [-] gold coins to [-] gold coins, which raised [-] gold coins for Ren, not counting the odds.The money will be used for the construction of Ortrenburg, which needs to be repaired, and it is not comfortable to live in a garbage dump all day.

At the end, Salcomo's smile restrained, showing a trace of dignity, Ren waved his hand, "Take the lady to choose a room, and get familiar with the environment by the way." The head maid was very knowledgeable, she waved and took all the maids away Give Ryan and Salcomo a relatively private space.

Sarkomo pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Master City Lord, we are ready, but are you ready?" He looked around worriedly, "If the city defense army doesn't cooperate, it will be very difficult. It is difficult to be an exclusive monopoly. Whether it is your plan or our plan, it will eventually come to nothing. As long as there is a slight omission in the solid river, it means that it may not be able to prevent the flood. To be honest, I don't really trust those people now, they have long been in cahoots with locals, most of them are even locals!"

In the Orlando Empire, the Byron Empire, and the Jess Dynasty farther away, the soldiers stationed in one place must not be locals.A person's social relationship is extremely complicated. Once a local is hired, it is easy to appear hilltopism and deceive the superior and the subordinate.The empire has been guarding against such a situation, and serving in different places is also a clearly existing item in the imperial code.

Of course, any laws, regulations, and policies will eventually become absurd with the passage of time and the slackness of personnel.Some disputed and frictional borders are better. In places like Ortrenburg, where there has been no war for more than ten years, the armaments have long been eroded.In order to reap benefits, officers of the city defense army like Kent have long replaced more than half of the city defense army with locals from Ortrenburg.These locals don't need much military pay to support them, they are not picky about food, and they are willing to do any dirty work. For Kent, there is no more suitable person than choosing locals to serve.

These people have intricate relationships in the local society, and often one person can involve a group of people, and there are even some eyes and ears arranged by some forces.Kent naturally knew it too, but he didn't care, he became an official to make money, as long as he didn't destroy his great cause of making money, he could turn a blind eye to it.What's more, the locals are more familiar with the geographical environment here, and they know exactly where there are trails and where to climb.They can always find someone who needs to be arrested the fastest.

Salcomo is most worried about this group of people. Once they see the benefits brought by the monopoly, they will soon be like mad dogs. They dare to bite anyone who dares to stop them from making a fortune.

This is not alarmist talk, a standard Long Island smoke brick weighs fifty grams, which is one tael.It costs about three gold coins to buy from the Byron Empire.It was shipped back to Ortrenburg and sold on the spot, and the price immediately more than doubled, and sometimes it could be sold for seven or eight gold coins.If it is sold in the capital of Bell, the price of one tael will be copied to eleven or twelve gold coins.This is still under the condition that everyone is buying the goods. Once the Longdao Smoke Bricks in Bell Province is monopolized, the price may increase even more.

Such a lucrative industry will inevitably arouse the envy of many people, and these city defense troops guard the checkpoint every day, seeing these things every day, how could they not have other thoughts?
In the past, there were no conditions. Once the profit reached such a level of admiration, they would take risks.

Ren nodded, "I'm already thinking about solving this matter, and I may have to borrow your escort at that time."

"It's natural, as long as you open your mouth!" On this issue, there is no disagreement between the two parties.While Salcomo was excited, he also felt a little uneasy, because this young man was a kind of person he had never seen before. No matter what happened, he was decisive and never hesitated.Whether he personally removed the disharmonious voices at that meeting, or pointed out that the city defense army needs to be replaced by his own people, this young man seems to have the wisdom in his hands and has a plan in his chest.

He believed that even if he didn't mention this matter, Rennes would attack the city defense army soon.Although there is no warning saying in this world that "you can't let others snore on the side of the couch", there are also famous sayings like "even if it is a beggar's job, don't easily put it in the hands of others".

The words were about the same, Salcomo suddenly sighed quietly, and an extremely emotional look flowed in his cloudy eyes. He hesitated to speak, and finally turned into a sigh, "As a grandfather, I request You, take good care of my granddaughter."

Ren nodded and patted the back of his wrinkled hand, "Don't worry."

Watching Salkomo leave without delay, without even looking at the girl for the last time, Ren felt admiration for the old man.He was a real man who never hesitated when he deserved it, and who was not polite when he deserved it.He has made the profession of a businessman to the extreme, whether it is a serious business, a relationship, or anything else, in his eyes it is a business.He could buy or sell anything as long as it was profitable.

If possible, it is best for this kind of person to be brought under his command and become his helper.But from the current point of view, his bargaining chip is still too small to pry this legendary businessman worth billions.

The city lord's mansion has become a bit more lively due to the addition of a little mistress. The servants are also human, and they all have curiosity. Master Ren's approval.Ren did not stop these playful actions.He deeply knows that the equal importance of grace and power must first be grace, and there is no grace but power, which will eventually push these people to the opposite side of him.

After tidying up his mood, he used Chinese characters to record some things in a small notebook. This is a measure he started to implement recently.As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Sometimes some things are forgotten as soon as they are said, and if he delays a very important thing, he really can't cry.

Back in the house, Celeste had already changed her clothes. The light blue satin dress was slightly dragged on the ground. The Santo Lord's Mansion was cleaned almost every once in a while so that the skirt would not get dirty.Guolu's shoulders are like fruit after rain, delicate and fresh.The two horizontal clavicles are as full as jade, white and tender.The long wheat-colored hair was tied in a knot at the back of the head, and it fell down gracefully, refreshing and pleasant.

Seeing Ren come in, Celeste immediately got up from the sofa, saluted with the corner of her skirt, bowed her head and remained silent.It was the first time for the little girl to come to this environment full of strangers everywhere, and at this moment her life was firmly locked on an even stranger person, the fear and anxiety in her heart did not show on her face , it can already be said that her adaptability and independence
Very strong.

Ren walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, raised his hand and pressed it falsely, and Celeste also sat down, "Is there a teacher at home to teach you anything?"

Celeste hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Grandpa hired a bachelor to teach me mathematics and Orlando, as well as a piano teacher and a dance teacher. My mother taught me etiquette, and my father taught me a little swordsmanship.", The girl's voice was exceptionally nice, crisp and transparent, full of youthful vigor, and she couldn't help but blushed at the end. It was a bit too "wild" for a girl to learn swordsmanship.

Ryan got to know Salcomo a little bit. He has three sons and two daughters, and Celeste is the son of Salcomo's youngest son.This world is so cruel to say the least, the eldest son inherits everything, and the second son is no different from the illegitimate son except that his status is slightly higher than that of the illegitimate son.They also have to be kicked out of the house as adults, and then support themselves.Celeste's father was a swordsman, and he took on some simple jobs in the form of employment. To put it bluntly, he was a escort, helping people deliver goods.

It is not surprising that he taught his daughter a little swordsmanship.I have traveled a lot and seen a lot, so I naturally know that this world is not peaceful.

The disputes between the city lords of various places, the disputes between nobles and nobles, are often determined by blood and death.Being able to have a skill in self-defense shows how much Celeste's father cares for her.But no matter how much he cares about this daughter, Salcomo is the master of the big family. He can do whatever he says, and no one can object to it.

Ren smiled and said: "I think it's very good. A person should learn a little more. Money can be lost, but knowledge and skills can't be lost." He turned his head and looked at the head maid, "Go invite a highly respected bachelor Come, there are also musicians and dancers, and another swordsman with a good reputation, good character, and a title will be hired."

Celeste's pink lips were slightly parted, and the tip of her pink tongue was faintly visible inside. She looked at Ren in a daze, forgetting her embarrassment.It took a long time before I blushed under Ren's gaze, lowered my head, and didn't know what to say.

"I am different from other nobles. In the future, when you get to know me better, you will naturally understand what kind of person I am. Maybe others will attack me in some aspects, but I dare say, at least I am a good person." Ren smiled Said.

Celeste nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you are a good person."

Ren couldn't help laughing, yes, I am a good person!
A little girl made Ren feel that he was much younger, and his expressionless face was melted away by a hearty laugh. The head maid pursed her lips, glanced at Celeste, and moved away. opened his eyes.

This is like a day without any accidents, plain, but also full of novelty and unknown.
