Throne Of Another World

Chapter 6: Ideas for Making Money



The Bauhinia Manor is very large, with gardens, guest rooms, inner and outer rooms, a martial arts training ground, and a study. Basically, the size of a duke's mansion is as large as the land here, or even larger. The garden is already overgrown with weeds, and the walls are already dilapidated, but it seems to have been cleaned, which should be arranged by Watson.

"Your Highness, after receiving the notice from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the old servant has arranged for people to clean the mansion, but I don't have much money, so I didn't dare to repair it." Watson was a little embarrassed when he saw this scene.

Cage is probably the shabbiest of all the princes. Except for House and Watson, he doesn't even have a maid around him. Such a large mansion cannot be repaired without a few people.

"How much does it cost to repair it?"

"It will cost about 6,000 gold coins." Watson answered honestly.

"Forget it, how much money do we have now?" Since Cage plans to start a dandy life, how can he do without money?

"All together, there are still 11,300 gold coins."

"Okay, I got it. Go and recruit a few people. This mansion is too deserted." Cage saw that there were not even beggars in this place. It was probably because Bauhinia was too famous, or because they were afraid of death.

"Your Highness, no one wants to come to Bauhinia Manor. I suggest buying a few slaves. It's cheap and we don't worry about them leaving." Watson suggested carefully.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want. Just be strong and healthy. It doesn't matter whether you are male or female." Cage said casually. "How much is a slave like this?"

"About 5 gold coins. It shouldn't be expensive to just buy some slaves to work."

"Okay, three or five people will be enough. Someone will clean and weed every day. We need to buy a cook who can cook." Cage thought about it. In addition to cleaning, eating is also a big problem. Otherwise, who will cook? Now we can ask Aunt Dena to come and help. What will we do in the future?

Watson's efficiency was quite good. It only took him half a day to buy 6 slaves, two women and four men, one of whom was a cook. Watson assigned two women, one to serve Watson and the other to take care of his and House's lives. For the remaining men, one was arranged to be a doorman, and the others cleaned the entire mansion and patrolled occasionally.

In fact, Cage was also very surprised that there were still slaves here. This world has been developing for tens of thousands of years, but there is still no escape from slavery. There is no need to worry about slaves escaping. Each slave has the mark of their owner. After running away, it is easy to be caught and sent back to the owner. The owner usually pays the corresponding fees.

The first night outside was okay. Cage lived in the master bedroom of the Bauhinia Manor. He didn't feel anything weird. It was good to have a place to live. Who cares about whether it is good or not. In addition to exercise, Cage spent time thinking about what business he could do to make money. After thinking about it, the most profitable business was the casino. The gambling in this world was very simple, not as rich as in China. They just gambled on bloody things such as counting stones and fighting between strong slaves. There was nothing special about it, and there were few entertainment programs. The threshold for doing this business was low, and it was easy to make a fortune. Through his understanding of various creatures in this world, Cage felt that the lowest starting point was fighting insects. Although there were seasonal restrictions, short-term operations were very suitable. When there was enough money, he could open a casino and apply various gambling techniques in his previous life to this world.

Cage's mansion was really deserted. After the mansion was built, no one came to congratulate him.

Cage summoned Watson and House.

"How much does it cost to build a house like this next to our manor?" Cage handed the drawings he had drawn last night to Watson. Watson looked at the things on it and couldn't understand them at all.

"If you build a house this big, it will cost about 3,000 gold coins. According to the interior decoration of your highness, it is estimated that the price will double." Watson said cautiously.

"You should immediately ask the construction team to conduct an assessment and renovate the useless house on our side. If you don't know how to ask their leader to discuss with me, quality and quantity, the price cannot exceed 8,000 gold coins, and the facilities inside must be in accordance with the design."

"Yes, Your Highness." Watson is good at this point. He doesn't ask what Cage wants to do at all, and does everything according to His Highness's wishes. Cage appreciates this point of him and trusts him. The manor is too big, and it is a waste to keep it. What is lacking now is money, and other things don't matter.

No one dared to renovate the Bauhinia Manor before, but Cage dared. Because he was a prince, the construction team didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of him. After all, he was a nobleman, even if he was poor, he was still a nobleman. This is the class gap between civilians and nobles. This gap made them dare not say anything. Although no one dared to live here, some people dared to build new houses. No matter how scared they were, no one could go against money.

Cage still had more things to do, which was to write "Insect Identification Records" to want everyone to play this thing, at least they had to know what they were playing, how to identify, how to play, or how to start gambling. Cage asked Watson to register a small business organization in the empire, which was equivalent to the business license issued in the previous life. The identity of the prince was very useful. He did not have to pay taxes within ten years, and he could also use the current house.

Cage asked Watson to recruit a few people who could do accounting to facilitate the business. Cage bought a seal stone and used his micro-engraving technology to engrave a seal. At the same time, in order to achieve the effect of anti-counterfeiting, he also reported the seal to the relevant departments. Cage believed that no one could imitate this seal, because in addition to his seal, it also engraved a small identification magic circle. No imitator could imitate this small magic circle, because this is the most complicated knowledge in the world, and counterfeiters would not spend a lot of money to make such a seal. The principle of the magic circle is very simple, that is, there is a faint coolness when holding it in your hand. If you don't pay attention carefully, you can't feel it at all, unless the magic ability exceeds the level of the magician, you can tell it apart.

Although no one wants to live in Bauhinia Manor, they are still willing to come here to work every day. Cage asked Watson to buy a few more slaves to be responsible for reception. At the same time, he designed a kind of clothing as a standard reception dress. After all the preliminary preparations were done, they were waiting for completion.

The construction team was obviously afraid that the Bauhinia Manor would affect them. It took less than two months to complete the project according to Cage's requirements.

At this time, the streets and alleys of the imperial capital were posted with such a notice "Looking for a number of Kes insects, the insect shape is as follows: the price is as follows: one gold coin for the best quality, 10 silver coins for the middle quality, and 10 copper coins for the lowest quality. A number of insect cages made of green bamboo are needed, each with 10 copper coins. Please send them to the Bauhinia Manor."

Such a simple way to make money made the lower-class civilians in the imperial capital move. They didn't expect that insects could be sold at such a high price. Who wouldn't do such a simple way to make money? Especially some children, they like it very much. They run in the grass all day long, and of course they know where these insects and grass are. No one understands what the seventh prince wants to do. Since it's just playing with insects, it's no big deal.

Cage is very busy now, busy with vocational training for several slaves. He found a clever boy to be responsible for raising insects, a shrewd middle-aged man to be responsible for collecting insects, and a special accountant to pay. At the same time, he collected a large number of stones to make chips and stamp them. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The chips are divided into various levels, the smallest is 10 silver coins, and the largest is 100,000 gold coins. They are classified according to two different levels. Level 1 refers to gambling with insects of the highest level, the lowest is a bet of 1 gold coin, level 2 is medium-level insects, and level 3 is the lowest level of insects. Each level of chips is divided into two colors, which are used to buy and bet on fighting insects. In order to prevent cheating, Cage thought of many ways and thought of all kinds of cheating methods in his influence. In order to prevent insufficient chips, a full 1 billion gold coins were prepared. Fortunately, there is a magic card similar to a credit card in this world, which can be used for direct transfers. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to carry thousands of gold coins on your body. The number is really too large.

Professional training is more troublesome. It requires these insect fighters who tease insects to have a considerable professional level. Even if they are outside receptionists, they also need a considerable level. How to show a professional smile, etc., how to receive customers of different levels, all require strict training. You must at least know the relevant matters. Cage had to personally educate and train these slaves.

It took Cage a full three months to complete these tasks. From preparation to the actual completion of preparation, it took Cage almost half a year. For this reason, Cage had less than 200 gold coins in his hands. If there is no more income, it is estimated that Cage will become a pauper in three months, and it is estimated that his fate will be worse than that of the Bauhinia family. After completing all preparations, Cage is ready to open.
