Chapter 398 Establishing a paper mill

Felicia walked out of the door of Viscount Cliff's study and saw Thomas waiting for her at the door.

"Go back." Felissa said to him.

Thomas followed immediately and asked in a calm voice: "Miss Felicia, what are your plans for us, the Viscount?"

"Your Majesty the Viscount is still considering it." Felicia could only say this, because Viscount Cliff just asked her what she thought, but did not give a decision.

A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Thomas's face.

The salary Thomas is currently receiving is from the City Lord's Mansion, which is a fixed dead salary. This salary is enough for the research madmen at the manor. After all, they have room and board in the manor, as long as the materials related to the experiment are managed

Enough of the rest that they don't really care.

But not everyone studies madmen. Most people still have requirements for quality of life, and Thomas is no exception.

Thomas originally thought that he would get some awards for developing a method of making paper, but in the end he got nothing?

This is really shocking.

Felissa noticed Thomas's face, and after thinking about it, she understood.

Seeing how excited he looked, Felissa couldn't help but remind him: "This is just my personal opinion. I don't know how the Viscount will decide."

The income from the papermaking workshop is transferred to the public account, which means that after excluding the portion of the papermaking workshop's income that is allocated to His Excellency the Viscount's private account, the rest belongs to Cliff City.

Taking the salary from the city lord's palace and the dividends from the paper mill, how can it be such a good thing? How could Viscount Cliff allow such a thing.

Thomas said "Oh" without interest.

"Does it have to be like this?" Thomas said in embarrassment, "Can't you let me have my name in the city lord's mansion? Even if I don't pay wages."

Ordinary civilians don't know the meaning of this sentence, but people like Thomas, who have worked for Viscount Cliff for generations, can hear it right away.

What Felissa means is that when setting up a paper-making workshop, Thomas and the other two researchers will bring technology as shares. Thomas will get 2% of the shares, the other two will each get 1%, and the rest will be owned by Kerry.

From husband city.

He said brightly: "You are right, even if I quit my job at the City Lord's Mansion, I will still serve His Excellency the Viscount."

"Let's not talk about it for now," Felissa changed the subject, "His Excellency the Viscount hasn't made a decision yet, so let's not make any more guesses. If you don't adopt my opinion, you will be disappointed."

The paper produced is purchased by Richard or other businessmen. How much it can be sold depends on their own abilities. However, the paper mill has two stable acquirers: school and hospital. Although Felicia asked the school and hospital

It must be the cost price, but this is already a stable income.

Felissa realized that she now looked like the kind of boss who offered promotions and salary increases to her employees in her previous life.

Of course he knew that the paper he was developing was very different from the paper he usually used, and the price would be much different for the same price. But when he touched the paper he usually used, maybe it was the reason why he made so much paper. He had a certain understanding.

Intuitively, he thought that the raw materials of these papers should be similar to the raw materials of the paper they made. Then the rest was a matter of ratio and process. He was confident that he would be able to figure it out.

Not to mention other things, if one more kind of paper is produced, the money he can get as a shareholder will be more. This is a matter of direct interest to him, and of course he is willing to spend time studying it.

"I believe that His Excellency the Viscount will definitely adopt your opinion," Thomas said without hesitation, "because His Excellency the Viscount loves you the most."

The more Richard listened, the heavier his breathing became.

Thomas solemnly said: "Don't worry, I understand."

Thomas follows Viscount Cliff. No matter how she treats her heir, Viscount Cliff must be an excellent lord. As an excellent lord, she must want to develop her own territory. Of course Thomas is

He supported her, so when he heard that the papermaking workshop was taking advantage of the public accounts, he immediately became energetic.

Having shares means that even if he does nothing, he can make money while lying at home, which is indeed exciting.

Working in the City Lord's Mansion was an honor, and he didn't want to lose it easily.

"Don't worry," Felicia comforted him, "His Excellency the Viscount will not forget everything you have done."

"Why bother," Felicia sighed, "Are you interested in this? Besides, giving up the position in the City Lord's Palace does not mean that you are not working for His Excellency the Viscount. The profits from the papermaking workshop go to the public account."

Although there was some unexplainable reason for Viscount Cliff's love for her, it certainly existed, and she couldn't deny it.

Although she and Thomas both believed that Viscount Cliff would adopt her opinion, they could not draw a conclusion before the results came out.

Their family are all retainers of Viscount Cliff. They have been taught since childhood that they must serve Viscount Cliff. It would be better to become the dependents of any Viscount. He has never thought of resigning from the city lord's palace.

Viscount Cliff is the lord who divides public and private accounts.

Felicia reminded: "But you must resign from your job at the City Lord's Mansion."

If there are no substantial benefits, how can the other party believe it?

Felissa ordered: "Although the paper has been produced, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Don't slack off and seize the time to find ways to improve it."

When faced with someone mentioning Viscount Cliff's love for her again, Felissa was able to face it calmly.

So she coughed lightly: "Although His Excellency the Viscount has not made a decision yet, she has asked for my opinion."

He first told the other two researchers the news. When they heard the news, the other two's first reaction was the same as him, and they fell into ecstasy.

In the eyes of many nobles, everything on the territory is personal to them and can be used as they wish. This is why they do not treat civilians as human beings, because in the eyes of those nobles, they are not human beings, but property at their disposal.

, still the lowest kind. But some nobles have realized that they need to separate the public accounts of the territory from the private accounts of individuals. A part of the income from the territory every year is transferred to the lord's private account, and the remaining part in the public account is used for

Building territory.

When Thomas heard this, his excitement cooled down a little.

Money is the primary productive force, and all three of them felt that their day and night research was worth it.

However, Thomas still remembered Felissa's instructions and repeatedly emphasized that this was just a personal guess and he should try to stay as normal as possible.

Immediately, Thomas relayed what Felissa meant, saying that there were still problems with the current paper, and that they should continue to maintain this research enthusiasm, overcome more research problems, and live up to the expectations of Viscount Cliff and Felissa.

If you wait.

Well...the first half of the sentence was said by Felissa, and the second half was all Thomas's own expression. If Felissa were here, she would probably lament that Thomas was born to be a leader. Listen to this, how meaningful it is.

Official accent.
