After struggling for a while over the strange topic, Aarons finally negotiated the details with the new employee.

Xia Ye, a beautiful and intellectual beauty from the sheep tribe, officially became a servant of the Marquis's family with a monthly salary of forty silver coins.

Because she had financial experience, Aarons asked her to prioritize account-related work, while she was responsible for other household chores.

"Housework is not a high priority. But in addition to financial work, you also have to give the children an hour of general education class every day. It would be best if you could teach them some magic-related knowledge."

"My little girl's magic level is only around level 2. Because of her race's special talent, she can release magic at this level, and it can only be used to assist the tailor's work."

"Just let the gifted children get started, and then I will consider finding them full-time teachers."

After all, Xia Ye is the only person in this house who knows some magic, so Aarons plans to make the best use of her talents and let her do more important things.

After all the conditions were settled, Aarons took Xia Ye to greet the people in the house. The person in charge of the orphans had no opinion on the newcomers, but the old gardener once again said something familiar.

"Master, please exercise moderation. Exercise moderation! I have no objection to you liking this strange servant, but you must take care of your health!"

"Again! I have no intention of bringing her into my room!"

When Aarons temporarily arranged Xia Ye into a separate bedroom and returned to the study with Karin, he finally expressed his true thoughts -

"This person came at a perfect time, and she also happened to have the ability I urgently need... I guess she is from a prominent background."

"You mean, she might be a spy sent by other forces?"

"Other forces are unlikely. After all, it is highly likely that I will be deprived of my territory by the emperor. There is no need for them to create trouble at this time and send people to monitor me."

But just because other local forces won't do this doesn't mean no one is interested in Aarons's movements. With just a little thought, you'll know who wants to know the situation here the most.

"Could it be that...she was sent by the Emperor?"

"I can't confirm this speculation. She could just be a poor person who happened to wander here."

If it is the former, then Aarons must keep a sufficient distance from Xia Ye.

The royal spies would certainly not wholeheartedly assist him in controlling the territory, but might instead set some traps.

"Anyway, you don't have to deliberately monitor her, just communicate with her normally. I'll find a way to test her myself."

……

After briefly explaining everything to Karin, Aarons came to Xia Ye's bedroom alone. After he knocked gently on the door, it quickly opened from the inside.

"Master... Young Master, what do you want from me?"

The sheep beauty who walked out slowly was still wearing the pair of intellectual glasses, and her expression when she spoke was as calm as before.

"There is something I want to ask you. Once the room is ready, come to the study and we'll talk."

"I don't deserve it. If you have any questions, just ask me directly."

Trying his best to keep his eyes above the other person's neck, Aarons took Xia Ye back to the study.

Although being alone with such a beautiful woman with a proud figure, cool and pretty face would always make people feel a little bit of evil fire in their hearts, Aarons still forced himself to suppress the wavering desire in his body and talked about serious topics.

"I just told you that I have no regular source of income right now. Although my current savings are barely enough to last for two or three months, after that time I will really be bankrupt."

Because the Marquis was dead, the taxes and dividends that should have been paid to the Marquis's family were now withheld by each family. After all, as long as Aarons officially got out of this place, the money would no longer have to be paid.

"So I want you to give me some advice - what method should I use to obtain another sum of money as soon as possible so that I can at least have a chance to turn things around."

This was of course also a test from Aarons.

If Xia Ye made some suggestions that had no possibility of being realized or made no suggestions at all, then she would most likely be a spy sent by the royal family to monitor the Marquisate.

"You want to make some money quickly and legally? Why not use the title of Marquis?"

"The title of Marquis? No... Do you remember what I said just now, that the Marquis is dead?"

"It is precisely because the Marquis is dead that you can use his name to make money."

Aarons didn't fully understand Xia Ye's suggestion at first, but when he saw the old books on the table, he suddenly realized the key point that he had overlooked.

"Now you are the only one alive in the Marquis's family, so if you sell anything you want, outsiders will just think it is the legacy left by the Marquis."

“I actually overlooked this point…”

Xia Ye’s suggestion is actually very simple.

Now that the Marquis and his wife were dead, Aarons was the only person in the family who had a direct relationship with the Marquis. So no matter what he took out to sell, outsiders would only think it was the Marquis's inventory.

Even if those things themselves are not valuable, as long as Aarons claims that they are all the inheritance of the Marquis's family, there will definitely be people willing to buy them for collection.

"You are the only one who can prove the legitimacy of the Marquis's family, so what you say must have value."

After saying that, the expressionless white-haired beauty reached out and gently pushed her glasses, then bowed respectfully to Aarons.

In addition to feeling ashamed of his habitual thinking, Aarons also became more admiring and wary of Xia Ye.

Such intelligence and sharpness, coupled with such stunning appearance... is definitely not something an ordinary woman can achieve.

"Phew...then we won't waste any time."

Aarons picked up the telephony microphone in the study and immediately dialed the number of Karin's room.

"Kalin, come to the study now. I have an important task for you and Xia Ye to do."

When the heroic-looking wolf beauty hurried into the study, Aarons immediately told her the new plan he had just made.

"Take her with you and go immediately to the armor shop I took you to yesterday and bring the owner, Monget, to me."

After saying this, Aarons took out two metal cards from his desk drawer that looked like the employee nameplates in his previous life and personally handed them to the two men.

"This is the coat of arms of the Marquisate. If anyone outside dares to cause trouble for you, show them this."

Although the nameplate used to be an identity certificate that only the Marquis's confidants could possess, Aarons did not mind allowing the two strangers who had just arrived to obtain such an identity.

"If all goes well, we'll be able to start making money soon."
