Chapter 3 Awakening Golden Finger
Twenty or thirty gold coins, this number may not sound like a lot, but it is actually a very generous income.
One gold coin is enough to support an ordinary family for one year.
Of course, Amu is not an ordinary person.
He is a noble, so his daily expenses are much higher.
But the income of twenty or thirty gold coins in January is enough to survive.
Besides, he doesn't just have income from this place.
As a time traveler, it is naturally impossible for him to just make this little noise in the past ten years.
In addition to this market, he also has a chamber of commerce and several breweries that belong entirely to him.
The blacksmith shop in the market also belongs to him.
Compared with the market where the profits must be shared with other people, the other pieces are the big ones.
The market is used to distribute profits and seize the name of Count Reagan to gain the protection of the most violent organization in this land. At the same time, it attracts a group of people through employment relationships and cultivates a group of people who are clean and have mastered basic skills.
The elite in numeracy and literacy.
The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for inquiring about intelligence and information. While conducting business, it collects nearby intelligence and observes every move around it.
As for industries such as wineries and blacksmith shops, in addition to being responsible for making profits, they can also be used as channels to get to know some upper-class people and establish relationships with them through benefit sharing.
The relationship with his dead father made top local figures including Earl Reagan and Thorson always have goodwill towards him.
His small relationship with the earl's future heir, Dar, made him a duck to water in this place.
It can be said to be a great condition.
By the way, a few years ago, Yamu also founded a nursing home and allocated part of his income to house the relatives of some veterans in the Black Forest Territory.
Disabled veterans on the battlefield can be resettled here and placed in various industries under Yamu's command, thereby avoiding their original bleak ending.
If they die in battle, Amu will also support their families to participate in the work, and provide appropriate free literacy education and basic subsidies for children under a certain age.
There is no doubt that this changed the fate of some people and gave these people who originally had a miserable ending a good outcome.
Because of this move, he won the trust of many people.
Many of the guards in the castle were under his care.
Through various measures, Yamu has a good reputation in the Black Forest Territory.
Based on his conditions and his relationship with Earl Reagan and his son, in a normal world, Yamu even felt that he had a high probability of seizing control of the Black Forest Territory.
There are various methods of operation, as long as you have enough patience and endure it slowly.
Even giving a direct order, with his current reputation in the castle and appropriate means, he can at least ensure that most of the guards in the castle remain neutral.
And with his financial resources, it is easy to arm an army of a thousand people.
He doesn't have much force in the Black Forest Territory, but he does have a lot in the Chamber of Commerce outside.
Although the caravan guards are nominally mercenaries, there are quite a few of them.
Weapons? This is not difficult either.
He opened the blacksmith shop in the market himself, and those farm tools could become murderous weapons with just a few modifications.
If this was a normal world and Yamu was allowed to operate well for a few more years, he might be able to achieve this small goal.
But unfortunately, this is a world with extraordinary power.
Apart from anything else, as long as the three official knights, including Thorson, are still there, Amu has absolutely no chance of winning.
Thousands of troops?
I'm afraid it's not enough for three official knights to charge.
As a knight's apprentice, Yamu knows how terrifying a formal knight is.
Of course, from beginning to end, he never thought about trying to seize the Black Forest Territory.
After all, both Reagan and Dahl were actually very good to Amu.
After walking out of the conference room, Yamu went outside for a casual stroll.
Although the profit is not too much for Yamu, he is still paying attention to the changes here.
He built this place bit by bit, every place has his hard work, and he spent a lot of effort to finally build it.
So for Yamu, even just looking at the surroundings and watching the changes happening little by little is a feeling of satisfaction.
Of course, he didn't come here specifically just for that feeling, but also for another thing.
"Where did you get this?"
In front of a complete stall, Yamu looked at the man in front of him and asked.
There are levels of stalls in the market.
The outermost places are messy, and they are often places where farmers come to sell their agricultural products. The price is cheap, just one copper.
The shops in the innermost part are much more expensive. There are rows of complete shops inside, with not only shelves but even benches for customers to sit on. They usually sell high-profit products such as drinks, weapons, and the like.
As for the stalls like this one, they are not as good as the core ones inside, but they are not too bad and the prices are relatively cheaper.
Those who do business here are usually small businessmen, some are local and some are from other places.
The man in front of me is a local businessman who usually sells leather clothes and rough jewelry made of animal skins.
But today, Amu discovered something very interesting here.
They were a few pieces of pale green stone, which looked a bit like jade, but were a bit different.
These things were mixed into a bunch of specially selected low-quality gems, and it seemed that they were going to be sold as low-quality gems.
But among the many gems, Yamu discovered this thing at once.
There is no other reason, it's just the body's instinct.
The moment he came into contact with this pale green stone, something inside Yamu moved and had some reaction.
This made Yamu couldn't help but get excited.
It’s been sixteen years.
For the past sixteen years, this thing in his body has been as if it didn't exist, sitting there motionless without any movement.
Until now, there is finally some movement in this thing.
At this moment, he seemed to have regained hope, and looked impatiently at the local businessman in front of him.
"Lord Amu."
Being stared at by Yamu, the middle-aged businessman in front of him looked very nervous and stuttered when he spoke: "This was purchased next to Ximu Village."
"Ximu Village?"
Yamu was a little surprised and continued to ask.
Through questioning, he learned the cause and effect of this matter.
The existence of greenstone was discovered by accident.
The businessman in front of him is a native citizen of the Black Forest Territory. He is also a local businessman. He is usually responsible for traveling on the border, purchasing various valuable specialties from hunters and mountain people, and then bringing them here to sell them.
That kind of green stone was something he discovered some time ago. Because its appearance was very different from ordinary stones, like a gemstone, he specially purchased it and prepared it to be sold here as a low-grade gemstone.
He had been here for several days and had yet to find a suitable buyer. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly approached by Yamu.
This made him feel a little scared and nervous.
Of course, while he was nervous, he was also a little excited.
Because he was keenly aware that this was an opportunity.
"These are some worthless things. If you like them, I will give them to you."
The middle-aged businessman lowered his head and spoke nervously and respectfully: "If you allow me, I can purchase these things for you regularly and deliver them directly to your residence."
He said nervously, and then looked at Yamu expectantly.
The purpose of what he did was naturally to get on the line with Yamu.
In this territory, Yamu's current status may not be as good as those of the top people, but for ordinary people, he is definitely a big shot that cannot be reached.
For such a person, as long as he can get on the line, there will definitely be various opportunities in the future, and the benefits are needless to say.
Yamu glanced at the person in front of him and couldn't help but smile: "What's your name?"
"Kali, my name is Kali!"
The businessman suddenly became excited.
