"Morning, big brother!" Mei Li jumped in from the Viscount's mansion with her schoolbag on her back.
Only then did Claire look away from the magic book in front of her in a trance and look at Meili. Since the school started, Meili has been living in the school, and Claire has not seen her for a long time.
With a smile: "School is over?"
Mellie ran to Claire's side and nodded vigorously, "Yeah! Today is the weekend, school is over!"
Claire also sat up from the reclining chair, rubbed Mellie's little head, and messed up her hair.
"Then what did you learn in school?"
Melly broke free from Claire's claws, shook her head like a kitten with wet hair, and used both hands to get her hair back.
"I've learned a lot. Now I've learned addition and subtraction." Mei Li said proudly.
"Then let me test you a question!"
"Even if you say it, Meili will definitely answer!" Meili's eyes flashed with confidence.
"If you have three apples, but there are four children in front of you, how can you divide them so that they will not resent you?"
"Hey!" Mei Li bit her fingers, her confusion was beyond his knowledge.
"This is multiplication and division, right? The teacher said that it will be taught next week! Mei Li can't, please tell me the answer, eldest brother."
Claire closed the magic book, "If it were me, I would eat two apples, then take out the only remaining apple, and say to them: Whoever wins, this apple is who!"
Mei Li tilted her head, her head full of question marks: ? ? ? ? ? ?
He hesitated: "Is this multiplication and division?"
Claire took the opportunity to grab her little head and ravaged her, "I'm just kidding, don't learn blindly, just go play."
Mei Li was still confused, but she still put her schoolbag on the desk beside Claire, "Leave the schoolbag here first, I'm going to mop the floor!"
Claire stopped her, "I finally took a vacation, won't you go home? You don't need to clean the house."
"No, Grandpa Regan said that I am a little maid. When I grow up, I will apply for a job at the Viscount's Mansion. I can't slack off in my work. And my brother will come to pick me up soon!"
Claire didn't stop her either. She shouldn't be tired from cleaning the floor, so she picked up the magic book and read it again.
After a while, the sound of hooves came from outside the door, and Claire's attention was attracted again.
"Lord Viscount!" The other party greeted him first.
It was only later that Claire realized that it was Mellie's older brother, Crane, who was still the same sunny big boy as before, and nodded, "Are you coming to pick up your sister home?"
Crane scratched his head embarrassedly, dismounted quickly, and trotted over.
"Yes, today is the day to go home to visit relatives, and the military camp is closed." Crane explained again: "The captain let us go home to ride the horses."
Claire understood what the other party meant and waved her hand, "It's alright, ride back faster, this is..." Claire said, looking at the thing that Crane was holding in his hand.
Crane quickly picked it up and showed it, "This is the meat and some food I bought at the market with my salary. This is my first time returning home after being a knight, so I want to buy something delicious to go back. "Cran felt a little embarrassed, it felt like a beggar showing off to the rich how good he is now.
"Very good, isn't this your wish!" Claire encouraged.
"Hmm!" Crane nodded vigorously. He never thought that the man he met that day would actually change his fate.
"Go and call Meili out."
"Okay! Goodbye, Lord Viscount!"
After Melly wiped the floor clean, she came back and picked up her schoolbag and sat on the horse. Crane hugged her from behind and wouldn't fall off.
"Goodbye, big brother!" Mellie waved her hands at Claire.
Claire also smiled and waved goodbye.
After Melly left, Claire hadn't read a few pages of the book when another figure walked out of the Viscount's mansion and attracted his attention.
"Where is Yuna going?" Claire simply put the magic book on the stone table beside her.
"Today is the end of the month and it's my turn to rest. I've already prepared my lunch, Master, I'll go home and I'll be back in the evening for dinner!" Yuna's face was also filled with a bright smile.
In her hands, she tightly held the twenty-five silver coins that Reagan gave them today. That was the money she wanted to take back to her mother. The four silver coins that were recruited from the beginning had skyrocketed in less than a month. twenty-five silver coins.
She earns more than her father. When I go back this time, I can tell my father that I don't need him to do such dangerous work as sea fishing! In this way, I can spend more time with my mother at home. Every time I think of this, Yuna is excited for a while, and she can finally do something for her family.
"Go." Claire also smiled and waved.
…
After Yuna left, Claire didn't want to continue reading, she put the magic book in the space ring, stood up from the reclining chair and stretched.
"It's all gone, I'll go out for a walk too."
Claire called for the wolf king. After these days of training, he became a lot more obedient. As soon as Claire called, he ran over.
Leaning on the wolf king's back, Claire was stopped by a voice as soon as she walked out of the gate of the Viscount Mansion.
"Lord Viscount, wait a moment!"
Claire got up immediately and looked over. The one who shouted was a very familiar woman.
Although the man was somewhat afraid of the huge wolf king, he overcame his fear and trotted all the way to approach Claire.
When I got close to Claire, I remembered, "You were the one at the market yesterday..."
"Yes!" The woman nodded vigorously. She didn't expect Claire to remember herself.
"Do you have anything to do with me?"
"These three gold coins are back to you!" The other party said and put the three golden coins back into Claire's hands.
Claire was a little stunned, "These three gold coins are nothing to me, just hold them."
Unexpectedly, the woman shook her head vigorously, "Yesterday, when I got these three gold coins, my heart was pounding, and after thinking about it, I can't take this money, although these money are very good to me. Help, I'm a little embarrassed to talk about it in my heart, but I'm afraid that I won't have the intention to continue to work hard after I bring it."
The woman said with a smile on her face, "Besides, after Lord Viscount came to my place to buy things yesterday, many people also came to buy things from me, and they sold them all quickly. Today, I am from outside. The things we picked have also been sold out, so I have been waiting here for you early in the morning, the purpose is to return these three gold coins to you."
Claire looked at the other party's sincere eyes and didn't seem to be lying, so she took back the three gold coins.
"Is the sales in the market okay?"
"Very good! Thank you, Lord Viscount!" When she talked about the woman, she became excited and took out three silver coins from her arms. "This is what I got from selling things in two days. , it was impossible to have that many before."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Just saying thank you, the woman shed tears, took out a piece of brown sugar and choked up: "I can finally buy brown sugar for my children that everyone else can eat. Now, they are very sensible and would never tell me that they like to eat this kind of thing, but how can children not like candy, they can only swallow while others eat..."
Claire took a deep breath, "If you have time, you can ask Reagan and ask how the shops in the East District are rented out."
Claire didn't know if she could understand it either. Anyway, she had already pointed this out. It depends on whether the other party could understand it.
Next, Claire plans to vigorously develop the trade area in the East District. Most of the shops in his hands are turned into wholesalers who specialize in buying goods from outside to sell to local merchants at low prices, and then rent out the shops there for the first three months of the price. Free, strongly encourage the private sector.
This is almost the same as a policy of reform and opening up in the 1990s in the previous life. As long as you follow the general trend, you will definitely make money, so that sentence also gave the woman a chance to make a fortune. But this is also an opportunity for everyone in Nafu City to make a fortune, it depends on whether some of them will grasp it.
Almost all of Nafu City are now poor, and they can't play a role in promoting the development of Nafu City. First, a group of middle classes must be created, such as businessmen and specialized technical personnel, and the trade area of Claire's East District is one of them. a strategy.
I don't know if the other party understood, but after thanking him again and again, he left the Viscount Mansion.
Looking at the opponent's back, Claire couldn't help sighing: "Although there are some achievements, there is still a long way to go."
