Big Capitalist

Merlin looked at Gene who was crying and snotting. This guy held his hand tightly so that he couldn't pull it away.

No, you think too highly of me. I just want to save the gold coins to hire you beasts of burden.

The market purchase price of fresh, high-quality tea is 8 silver coins per pound, and the money he has to give to Gene must be at least 6 silver coins. Taking into account a series of factors such as reputation, transportation, and organizing tea picking, he estimates that he has to give 7 silver coins per pound.

And he only raised the price to one gold coin, but he was able to make these hardworking students willingly do the speculation.

Tea frying is a delicate job. The processes of withering, rolling, fermentation, drying and refining all require a lot of manpower. The skills involved are not simple and the cost of all of this is not low.

Merlin also calculated and considered carefully. One gold coin solved all the processes, and Merlin definitely made money in the end by getting the finished product directly.

The most important task now is to build a tea-roasting workshop. The sooner it is completed, the more money we can earn.

"Where's Garant? Where's Garant? Where the hell is he? Stop what you're doing and build a temporary tea-frying workshop for me!"

Garant came over immediately. He was just paving the way. He recruited two fourth-level intermediate earth magicians yesterday. Both of them were senior students. When they heard that there was a job here, they rushed here in a hurry. The key point was that they could actually stamp the internship certificate!

Students in the fourth year of the Arcane Academy have to start internship. Except for exceptionally outstanding students who can be assigned by the academy, ordinary students can only find places for internship by themselves. The content of the internship is arbitrary, as long as it is a formal place with a stamp of approval.

The internship places are generally noble territories, mercenary groups, chambers of commerce, or imperial royal families, the military, etc.

The seal must be issued by one who has been certified by one of the six empires, the Arcane Academy, or a race.

Merlin definitely has the authority to stamp an internship certificate. The last time he went back to the tavern, he brought his father's Leo family seal. Now working for Merlin means working for the Leo family. Wouldn't it be easy to stamp an internship certificate?

In fact, it is basically difficult for fourth-year students to get an internship opportunity if they do not have connections or a special background.

After all, the magic power level of most students in the Arcane Academy is not high. Without resources and background, how much can the time of missing someone improve? Just look at these two seniors in the fourth grade. They are still fourth-level intermediate magicians during their internship in the fourth grade.

Merlin is now a third-level junior magician.

In fact, most of the new students in the Arcane Academy are first-level apprentices. Those with good talents can reach the second-level trainee magicians. Only the children of nobles who are rich, powerful, have backgrounds and resources can reach the third level like Merlin.

By the way, before traveling through time, Merlin was the type who studied and practiced hard. There weren't many third-level junior magicians among first-year students, or even very few. Merlin could be said to be a genius, not untalented as he thought.

"Boss Merlin, I want to report something to you." Garant, who was building the tea workshop, suddenly ran over.

At this moment, Merlin was lying leisurely on the recliner, drinking the newly prepared blueberry juice. "What's the matter?"

"It's like this, there's a problem with the teahouse you planned."

"Oh? I remember I put the tea factory on the other side of the river, not far from your tea mountain. What happened?"

"Boss, this matter is related to elves. You should go and have a look yourself."

Elves? Merlin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Stacy behind him. There was no change on the latter's face.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

A fourth-year water magician who worked for Merlin in order to obtain an internship certificate took Merlin, Garant and Stacy to the other side of the river with a flattering face.

This fourth-year student from the Beast Taming Academy controlled the water flow to form a sphere that wrapped Merlin and the others, and walked on the turbulent river to the other side.

"I said you can't move here, so you can't move!"

"This is our elves' territory!"

Merlin heard the sound of quarreling from a long distance away. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw his construction team confronting a group of elves.

"What happened here?" Merlin walked forward and frowned. He saw Stacy's brother, Kairos, who made him feel disgusted.

"Hey, hey, isn't this Kairos? I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you are so tired?" Merlin looked at Kairos, who was in the lead, and walked up to him with his arms folded.

Kairos got furious when he saw Merlin's face, which was more handsome than his own. He pointed at Merlin angrily and shouted, "It's you! It's actually you!"

"It's me, it's me, how come this is your territory?" Merlin looked at the open space in front of him. The green vegetation vines covered the entire place. The dark green and thick vines crisscrossed, giving him a strange sense of familiarity.

Kairos naturally saw Stacy behind Merlin. What surprised him was that Stacy, who was always timid and afraid of him, now showed no fear at all, and even smiled when she looked at him.

What happened to Stacy? Kairos felt something was wrong, but Merlin's voice made him unable to think too much.

"Kaylos, why are you stopping our construction team?"

Kairos heard what Merlin said and looked at the students beside him. "Stop your construction team? Ha, Merlin, I haven't asked you why you broke into our elf territory."

"The elves' territory? Hasn't the mountain behind the academy always been a public area? How did it become your elves' territory?"

"Noble elves disdain to live with you humans. We are afraid that your dirty souls will pollute us."

Merlin didn't want to listen to Kairos' nonsense, so he waved his hand and said, "Speak human language!"

"You insult me?" Kairos' eyes turned red. Merlin always felt that this guy had a temper tantrum.

Merlin was a little puzzled. "How did I insult you? I just asked you to speak human language."

"We are noble elves, speaking the common language of the Federation. Don't confuse us with you dirty humans."

Merlin really wanted to punch and kick Kairos in the face a few more times. Why was it so difficult to talk to an elf? It was as if Kairos didn't understand what people were saying. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't insult humans. Who has the time to talk to you about this?

"Shut up, Kairos. We are going to start construction here to build a tea-making workshop. If you have nothing else to do, please get out of here and don't delay me from making money."

Merlin really didn't want to say too much nonsense, as he still had a lot of things waiting for him to do.
