Chapter 510 Banquet for nobles (10)

In his mind, he really didn\'t know what to make of this.

After all, he never expected Count Zwein to suddenly say something like this.

After a long period of hesitation, Viscount Henry suddenly asked, "Can I ask why you\'re asking me this?"

When I heard this, I revealed a faint smile as if I had already expected this.

Though this wasn\'t really that surprising since most people would ask this question if someone suddenly wanted them to work for them.

I looked at Viscount Henry and said, "I like you and I think you\'re capable, so I want you to work for me. Nothing more, nothing less."

These words might have seemed very simple, but that was more than enough for someone like Viscount Henry.

After all, he wasn\'t someone that would be convinced with fancy words.

He was someone that was more easily convinced with words that were simple and straightforward.

Viscount Henry couldn\'t help revealing an embarrassed look when he heard this, but then he quickly revealed a serious look and turned to his wife. When she saw him look over at her, she revealed a smile and a look that seemed to be saying, "Do what you think is right."

It seemed that there was quite a bit of trust in their relationship.

Viscount Henry turned back to look at me and he said, "What kind of things are you looking to have me do?"

Even if there was a part of him that wanted to take this deal, he still had to think about the people in his territory. This was not a decision that could be made that rashly.

This time, I didn\'t say anything and instead I passed the reign to Rose.

This was what we had agreed on.

For convincing Viscount Henry, I would take the lead.

But when it came to explaining the details of the plan, it was Rose that would take the lead.

She pulled out a piece of paper that she placed on the table.

When it was spread out, the viscount couple found that it was a map of the surrounding area.

On this map, all of their territories had been marked, but there was a different marker that was on each of their territories. There were some that had the same marker and there were also some that didn\'t have a marker at all.

They couldn\'t see through what these markers meant at all, so they just waited for Rose to explain.

"As you can see, this is a map of the surrounding area and the surrounding noble territory." Rose slowly started by saying this.

The viscount couple nodded to show that they understood.

Then Rose continued by saying, "The different markers represent the different goods that are traded by these different territories."

This time, they looked more closely at these markers and they could understand a bit of what this was about. The marks that were on these markers seemed to represent the goods that each territory traded, or at least as far as they knew they traded.

But they still couldn\'t figure out why they would be shown this map.

Rose then pointed at different territories and said, "You can see that these territories vary in goods even though they had similar resources, but why is that? It\'s because these nobles are just trying to follow the trends of whatever will sell at the time and never specialize in one product, that is why they never truly become rich."

Viscount Henry was a bit confused by this, but his wife nodded in agreement to this before pointing at one of the territories and saying, "It really is a waste of resources that they would plant cotton instead of food products here. If they were smart, they would be able to sell the food that they harvest to the frontlines and earn double the profits, just as much as the cotton that\'s hard to sell right now."

Rose revealed a look of praise when she heard this.

She never thought that Viscount Henry\'s wife would be so well informed about all of this.

Viscount Henry just revealed an awkward look and moved back to let his wife take the lead.

When I saw this, I couldn\'t help revealing a smile like I was seeing an ally.

It seemed that even if he did help with managing the territory, he was still only a bit better than me. It seemed that both of us relied heavily on our wives to manage our territories for us.

The two of them went into a technical discussion about the specialty of the surrounding territories which became quite detailed.

Both Viscount Henry and I just sat there with smiles on our faces as we could only understand bits of what they were discussing.

After a long discussion, Rose finally said, "I knew that I wasn\'t wrong about you. You really are just as I thought you were and now I want you working for me even more."

Viscount Henry\'s wife revealed a modest smile, but it was clear by the look in her eyes that she was also impressed by Rose.

Since they were finished discussing this, I turned to Viscount Henry and said, "What I want to do is organize the surrounding nobles so that we can compliment each other with products produced on our territory. It\'s similar to the planning of your town with its different districts."

Viscount Henry knitted his brows when he heard this before saying, "But nobles aren\'t as easy to convince. It won\'t be easy to get them to listen to you."

I revealed a faint smile before saying, "Isn\'t that why I put on that play today? As long as I control the ores, it will be easy."

Viscount Henry slowly revealed a look of understanding on his face.
