Sean and the butler Henry took a carriage and drove towards the civilian area east of Jon City.

On the carriage, Sean looked at the nervous middle-aged butler in front of him: "Your name is Henry, right? Do you have any previous experience in managing territory?"

Henry looked at Sean and opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"Is there anything you can't say?" Sean noticed Henry's strange expression.

Henry thought for a while, then summoned up the courage to say: "Your Highness Sean, my father was the butler of the Viscount of Lakes. After my father passed away at the age of 26, I also became the butler of the Viscount. It has been 15 years now.

And the place where we live is Hetan Town.”

"Oh, so that's it." Sean suddenly realized.

It turns out that Hetan Town used to be the territory of Viscount Hu. Now that Viscount Hu and his heir died in the front line, the ownership of this territory has been transferred to his own hands.

"I have lived in the royal capital since I was a child and have no experience in managing territories. You are more familiar with Hetan Town. I will need more help from you in the future." Sean said to Henry seriously.

"It is my honor to serve His Highness Sean." Henry knelt down on one knee in the small carriage and expressed his allegiance to Sean.

"Take a seat." Sean pointed to the seat opposite the carriage and asked, "What is Riverbank Town like? Tell me."

Henry stood up, sat upright in the seat opposite Sean, and then said: "Hetan Town was a very prosperous town a hundred years ago, and it was the only way for commercial exchanges between the Principality and the Elf Kingdom in the southwest.

But more than a hundred years ago, the principality had conflicts with the Elf Kingdom in the south, and the trade routes were cut off and it declined. Now it mainly relies on agriculture to survive."

Henry's tone was full of regret for River Beach Town.

"Elven Kingdom?" Sean's eyes lit up. There are many Elf cards in the system's card pool. Maybe they can be used. For example, let the Elf followers bring human souvenirs to exchange for Elf souvenirs.

, the income will definitely not be small.

But that is all for the future. What I have to do now is to buy supplies and reach the territory first.

"By the way Henry, how much money can you make per month when you work as a housekeeper in Riverside Town?" Sean suddenly asked.

Henry didn't understand why Sean asked such a question. He hesitated and said, "On average, 30 gold coins a month."

"Be my housekeeper and your salary will be doubled! How about 60 gold coins a month?"

"Really? Thank you, Your Highness!" Henry was overjoyed and knelt down to Sean again regardless of the dirt on the carriage floor.

Initially, Henry thought that he was following a lord with little hope and his morale was a bit low. Unexpectedly, this lord was so generous and directly gave him a monthly salary of 60 gold coins!

You must know that your father worked as a housekeeper for Viscount Lake all his life, and his monthly income did not exceed 50 gold coins.

"Get up." Sean patted Henry on the shoulder, "Work hard! There will be rewards for good work in the future! I will arrange work for you now."

Sean raised Henry's salary not because he was rich and willful, but because he really had a lot of important work to do for Henry.

Money is undoubtedly the most reliable way to stimulate employees' enthusiasm.

...

"Okay, Your Highness." Henry stood up immediately and took out the small notebook he used to record daily from his pocket, preparing to record the work assigned to him by Sean.

"First, go to the Earl of River's castle this afternoon and help me receive the 10,000 gold coins for rebuilding the territory..." At this point, Sean suddenly felt something was wrong and added: "Forget it, let's accept the gold coins together.

Go and remember to remind me when the time comes."

"Okay, Your Highness." Henry wrote it down in his notebook carefully.

"Second, help me contact 'Lucky Matthew', the one the count mentioned. It's best to invite him to lunch." Sean said while thinking.

"I don't think it's appropriate, Your Highness." At this time, Henry stopped writing, "You are a noble nobleman, and you have lunch with a humble civilian adventurer. This is somewhat... somewhat inappropriate."

"Just do it." Sean glared at Henry.

"Yes." Henry had no choice but to record it in his notebook honestly.

"Third, we need to hire a large mercenary group to protect our safety when we return to the territory. Help me go to the mercenary guild to see which mercenary groups can do the job. By the way, the 'Wolf Settlement' and 'Wolf Settlement' that Earl River said

Silver Hourglass' focus on it."

"no problem."

"The last and most important thing is to help me draw up a list of supplies that need to be purchased when traveling to the territory, such as how many slaves, farm tools, livestock, how many craftsmen need to be recruited, etc."

"Okay... okay." Henry hesitated a little when he said this. This job seemed to be quite difficult.

Sean noticed Henry's hesitation and comforted him: "Don't be too burdensome. Just do your best to make the supply list. Once you're done, I'll reward you with some more gold coins. But remember, you have to be fast. If you're late, we won't be able to catch up."

It’s spring plowing.”

"Okay, Your Highness, I will try my best to do it!" Henry promised.

...

Just when Sean was arranging tasks for Henry, Earl River in the castle did not go to bed as he said, but chatted with Lucas beside him.

"Lucas, what do you think of Albert (Archduke Ryan)'s youngest son?" Earl River looked at Lucas, who was wearing golden armor.

Just now, Lucas didn't say a word except saluting Sean. He seemed completely transparent. Only now did Lucas speak: "His Royal Highness Sean has become much calmer. He didn't think much of him last time we met.

Your Majesty."

"It's normal. My reputation in the royal capital has not been very good. Many people say that I abuse civilians and am cruel and unethical. It's a shame that His Highness, who cares about civilians, can have a good impression of me."

Earl River smiled disdainfully, "He is really calmer this time, maybe because the blow he received was a bit big.

His Highness Daniel (Sean's second brother) originally had the determination to kill him, but if it hadn't been for that mysterious man who appeared out of nowhere to save him, he would have been finished long ago."

"Hey, the competition for the position of the Grand Duke is really terrible." Lucas sighed, "Now that Grand Duke Lane has just reached middle age, his children have already begun to kill each other for the position of the Grand Duke. I don't know that Grand Duke Lane knows this.

How will you feel after this incident?"

Earl River took a sip of the coffee in his hand happily and let out a sigh of relief:

"It's also my fault that old guy Albert is not clear-headed. The three heirs are all of the same level. It is inevitable that this kind of thing will happen. I will only train one heir...

Forget it, let’s not talk about them, we really made a lot of money this time!

Albert allocated 30,000 gold coins to Sean, and I took 20,000 by myself. In addition, His Highness Daniel promised to mine a small silver mine for three years in order to seal the deal. His Highness Sean is simply the incarnation of the God of Wealth.

ah!"

Earl River took another sip of coffee and felt happy thinking about his income this time.

He just took the guards out of the city for a tour in the past two days, and reaped such huge benefits without spending a single soldier. This His Highness Sean is simply an angel who delivers money.

"What if Archduke Lane and His Highness Sean find out about this matter?" Lucas hesitated. After all, Archduke Lane took away more than half of the cost of rebuilding Sean's territory. This is indeed a bit unkind.

"It's useless even if we know. Can Archduke Ryan still send troops to fight? The Angevin people in the east are ready to make a move."

Earl River waved his hand and said disdainfully: "As for Sean, now that he has no money and no army, and is in a remote place like Hetan Town, he has to swallow his anger even if he knows. Of course, he won't know unless we tell him.

However, his assassination this time has put a lot of pressure on us. We should pay more attention to him and don't let anything happen again. After all, he is the Grand Duke's biological son."
