Episode 85. Lien is having an affair
“under! you!”
Is it even worth mentioning His Majesty the Emperor?
But since he hit that player first, there is nothing I can say in response. Count Merelov continued to rip his beard and groan.
‘Anyway, if it touches your eyes, you’ll die? I think I’ve seen Gula even in the winter, but there’s no other crop like garbage. It grows in water and sand, but is like rat poison to the eyes.’
There was no such thing as a greenhouse in the Merelov Estate. Since they did not put any effort into farming in the first place, they are completely unprepared for winter farming. If what Ian said was true, we should have purchased Gula right away, grown it, and started greenhouse work at the same time.
“… “Thirty coins.”
“sorry.”
“Thirty-one coins!”
“Count.”
“You, look forward to the days ahead. How much time will you have to live as the head of the family? Let’s leave it at this. Burying each other’s mistakes is the attitude of a true noble. “Thirty-two coins.”
He even made threats that didn’t work out very gracefully. It was because of me that Ian set the rather high price of fifty coins. Because I knew that everything would be cut close to half.
When Romandro cleared his throat as if he had been waiting for this moment, his subordinate outside intervened with good timing.
smart.
“Ian, Romandro. “I have something to report to you.”
“okay? Is it urgent? “The guests are here.”
“sorry. “I think it will take a while.”
“Excuse me?”
It was a plan to calm the heated atmosphere a bit and give Madame Merelov an opportunity to persuade the Count. She continued to whisper something to the count, her expression hardening as if she was contemplating it.
Squeak.
When Ian and Romandro left the living room, the wife raised her voice a little and frowned.
“Fifty coins is a total of 5,000 gold coins.”
“It was crazy. “5,000 gold coins for something like weeds.”
“But this year, the situation is a bit special. We need to save Yeongji as soon as possible. “I heard that Bratz decided to increase next year’s tax rate after temporary rationing.”
If you die, you cannot be revived. I don’t know anything else, but one thing was certain. The lady asked, looking at the count subtly.
“How much do you think is the maximum per sack?”
“With my heart, it’s not even worth a single gold coin.”
“no. No, realistically.”
Realistically, the question is what level of compromise do you think Count Ianwar will make? The Count twisted his beard and made an expression that he was not satisfied with the situation.
“About thirty-five coins.”
“Hmm. “It’s thirty-five coins.”
The wife pretended to be concerned and followed his words. In that case, what the wife had to say here was decided.
“Would Sir Ian really do that? When I look at it, it looks like they are trying to hold on tight.”
“So, tsk tsk if a young person only gets rich. “If you live like that, you won’t live long.”
“I think it would be best to make a decision around 40. As they say, if it snows, the price may rise further. At that time, price will not be the problem, but supply and demand itself… … .”
The wife’s concerns were valid. Things kept going wrong and we ended up at this point. She thought there was nowhere to retreat, but there was always a bottom.
“Forty to thirty-five coins. “If there is a conversation between them, it would be better to put a stamp on it right away.”
“Hmm.”
“Instead, wouldn’t it be okay to ask them to classify about half of the gula eggs into small ones and half of them into thick ones?”
Half are for cultivation, so fill the bag with as small eggs as possible, and half are for eating, so larger ones are better. The Count sipped his half-cooled tea and let out a groan of distress.
“Hmm.”
The wife’s persuasion continued. The key point was to focus on concluding the transaction in an appropriate manner, rather than buying Gula as cheaply as possible.
Soon enough, Ian and Romandro entered the living room again.
“sorry. “I was a little late in getting things done.”
“Hmm. “The car is completely cold.”
“Oops, sorry. “Hannah!”
“yes. master.”
Count Merelov just cleared his throat as he tried to set the mood to take the initiative. Next to him, the wife touched her earlobe as if she was embarrassed.
Charak.
The colorful earrings and the sound of nails clicking caught Ian’s attention. A hand that spreads three fingers once and then touches all five. Ian took his cue and sat down on the sofa.
‘I called for fifty, but thirty-five is the maximum.’
I don’t know if I should say that it is truly formidable, or if it is the maximum that Merelov can produce. However, Ian decided to trust his wife’s cooperation.
‘It’s better than not selling it. And above all, I have things to deal with other than the Count, but also with the residents of the Merelov Territory.’
There are 100 bags, so if you do all of them, you get 3,500 gold coins. It was the equivalent of one-third of the taxes owed to the central government being collected. Ian exchanged glances with Romandro and said goodbye.
“How did you discuss the amount?”
“Sir Ian. I guess fifty coins is too much. “They are holding the market in their mansion, but it sounds like they are not willing to do business with us at this price.”
When the wife lightly lifted her chin and shot back sharply, the Count nodded with a solemn expression. Ian frowned, pretending to be worried.
“great. “Then let’s put one condition on it.”
“condition? what?”
“I will give you forty gold coins per sack. Instead, please write a pledge not to interfere with any economic activities that take place in this territory in the future.”
“… “Not interfering with economic activities?”
Count Merelov’s eyes widened mysteriously at the unexpected condition. The same goes for his wife. She ate a portion, but had no idea what these conditions meant.
“Are you okay?”
“No, it’s not that bad… … .”
Isn’t this a very significant condition?
As the Count watched Cheonryeo’s warriors walking up and down the hallway, he guessed that they were trying to play tricks with the border tribes. Are you trying to steal something there?
‘That’s a stupid condition. Even if we don’t interfere, if you report it to the center, they will block it. ‘Tsk, tsk.’
However, Ian was able to see through the Count’s thoughts. The strict count has a knack for hoarding money, but he doesn’t seem to have a knack for looking deeply.

‘I think they are suspicious of the Cheonryeo tribe. ‘You’re getting it wrong.’
A long silence, disguised as concern, followed. Roman Dro was just watching the two of them, and her wife broke the silence by raising her teacup.
“Isn’t Sir Ian the head of the family appointed by the emperor? “The economic rights of each territory are the same as the autonomy of the head of the family, so it is surprising that you are imposing obvious conditions.”
“is that so? “It’s natural, so there’s no need to adjust the amount.”
At those words, the count opened his eyes and glared at his wife. It was an unspoken warning to her to keep quiet and keep her mouth shut. The lady rolled her eyes, pretending to be inwardly embarrassed, but Ian figured that was her intention.
“Good. I don’t know how you view Merelov, but isn’t it natural that everyone’s rights are guaranteed? Instead, you promise not to object to Merelov’s economic activities, and we will settle the matter for thirty gold coins.”
“Count. “I said forty coins.”
“Okay, I understand. “Thirty-one coins.”
“Isn’t it too much to change the first digit twice? “Count?”
The midpoint between forty and thirty was set in the stages of negotiation that went down from above and went up from below. After several attempts, Count Merelov finally reached the limit first.
“Thirty-five! “I can never do this anymore.”
Thirty-five coins. This is the price that her wife secretly told her. Ian just crossed her arms and winked at Dro. You can think of it as a kind of show to make a mutually satisfactory transaction.
“ha. great.”
This is it. I sigh and say that I have no choice but to give in and go in. Ian laughed lightly as if he had heard her both hands and feet.
“100 bags, at thirty-five gold coins per bag. In total, I will trade for 3,500 gold coins.”
“good. Good idea. “Let’s write a contract.”
While Ian and the Count held hands, Romandro took out the basic contract that had been rolled up. It was ten pages long, but they were all basic terms commonly used among nobles, and only the first and last pages were important.
Charak.
The Count began to examine each word in detail, as if chewing it up. Judging by the fact that even his jacket was unbuttoned, he could guess that it would take quite some time.
“Here we modify the word ‘fresh’ to ‘one week after harvest.’ “Are you okay?”
“hmm. Instead, you can add that it may change depending on the harvest schedule.”
“I understand. “Please bring me new paper.”
“Here it is. “Count.”
Squeak!
Fix it again and again like this.
At his feet, the contracts hanging on the crystal wall were torn and strewn about. It was when Ian and Romandro took turns dealing with him. Her wife couldn’t bear it anymore and patted her on the waist.
“Are you tired? ma’am?”
“ah. sorry. “You’ve been rude.”
“no. “It’s probably going to take some more time, so how about resting comfortably in another room?”
Ian turned to the Count and asked, but he was only fixating his eyes on the contract.
“honey. Are you listening?”
“Just figure it out. “Don’t bother me.”
“… … .”
The wife didn’t seem particularly hurt, and instead smiled gratefully that she wasn’t interested. Ian stood up together, leaving the Count to Romandro.
“ma’am. Let me guide you. “I need to get some fresh air outside for a while.”
As he said those words, the Count’s eyes followed Ian. Did you do it yourself and have a servant? why? Just as the blood was gushing, the suspicion felt like it was going to burst out of my throat, but the Count was a nobleman. He could not show indecency in front of the imperial palace advisor.
“Count?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. “Can you say that again?”
“If Article 3, Paragraph 3 is amended, Article 5, Paragraph 1 must also be amended to ensure fairness. Shall we do that?”
“hmm. okay. “Sure.”
Squeak.
As soon as the wife came out into the hallway, she leaned against the wall and sighed.
“Thank you for your effort. ma’am.”
“… “What about Clark?”
“The seller is the best in the mansion. “I am only eating food in my room.”
Although he said they were not lovers, as soon as he was off the Count’s radar, he was looking for Clark. He nodded as if telling Ian to follow him.
“I’ll hold your arm if you want.”
“That’s Okay. “My back hurts a little because of the corset, but my legs are fine.”
She walked with the utmost confidence and grace, holding the hem of her dress. The day she came in late, she wondered if her bruises would have bloomed more, but her Ian didn’t ask. Just thinking about the wound in any way hurts.
Instead, he hinted at a different topic.
“Have you seen Count Merelov’s brother?”
