Chapter 510 Banquet for nobles (10)
Viscount Henry couldn't help revealing a surprised look when he heard this.
He turned to look at his wife and saw that she had the same surprised look before turning back to look at Count Zwein.
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. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
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?"
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.
