ELECTUS 113 Farmers In January

Considering that she informed King Zar of the successful deal, she was free to roam. She is a businesswoman so her existence isn't dependent on a job either. She is rather wealthy and King Zar paid a handsome reward for her success as well which only increased her wealth. She has reached much under such a short period of time. She is only 27 years old after all.

"Miss Alama! What a pleasant surprise."

King Michael's mood instantly changed once he saw Alama. A smart individual like her can prove very useful if Gaster Kingdom is to be economically stable.

"I told you that i will come here after I settled the deal."

Said Alama with a light tone as a blush on her face appeared. Her blush appeared because King Michael gave her a light hug which made her feel like her heart dropped down to her shoe.

"I expected you to return after at least a week from now. You did come here without a horse if I recall right."

Said King Michael showing that he cared about details regarding her.

"Well i don't have anywhere I need to be. My businesses are being ran by my employees and my income is sent to a secure place in my family. I'm free to help get Gaster Kingdom back to her former glory."

Alama having a considerably big family with a well known last name(WolfHeart), she has countless people who can secure that her Gold isn't being stolen or her income doesn't start getting corrupted.

She can come to her earned Gold Coins any time without worrying about losing even a single Gold Coin due to any possible reason. She was a free woman with incomes she barely even used until now.

She wasn't of course born rich and her family name wasn't well known before she reached riches.

Her father worked as a building constructor and her mother was jobless.

She got her first bit of wealth after she opened her own store. To open that store she had to work 14 hours a day, earning every Gold Coin she could as a Black Smith apprentice.

She started with 100 Gold Coins a month but earned 175 Gold Coins because she put in 14 hours of work everyday for 4 years straight.

She started such an intense schedule when she was 16.

The pure silver armor she wears was made by her as well.

By 20 Years old she finally managed to open her own business. A medium sized shop who had a steady 600-1000 Gold Coins a month income.

In just a couple of years she bought the Forge she used to work at. After that sort of income, she bought 3 more businesses in 1 year and her wealth along with her businesses just kept increasing and they still are.

Considering the expenses and maintenance of those businesses, she still earns a steady income of 15,000 Gold Coins per month and has businesses not in 1 but in 4 Kingdoms in Ignis. But such an inspiring story all started in the Capital. Crutal Kingdom.

You would ask about how Xakro allowed for her to own a business in the first place. You would ask why he didn't force her out of business with increased fairly double standard taxes.

Well she kept his pocket filled. First offering him 20% of her earnings in her first Business on that Specific Kingdom, then she bought her way out of that deal once Zar became depended on the Forge she bought, getting economical upper advantages.

But with Kaleem and Saleem gone, the demands surely arose on Alama's Forge because there are only 2 Forges in the whole Kingdom. That's how rare Blacksmiths were and it is why the craft is paid handsomely compared to others.

"King Michael. I appreciate the heartwarming welcome. And i would like to inform that i come here to offer business once more."

She said while still trying to fight off the blush on her face.

"Oh does King Zar have another offer for me?"

Said King Michael in a curious tone but yet very happily.

"No, not exactly. I don't recall telling you but i own several businesses, meaning I have a lot of money to spare.

I know we settled a deal to talk about a payment once i help you get Gaster Kingdom back to her former glory but i have an offer that can help us reach that goal sooner."

She could see her breath floating on air like a small white fog while she spoke. It is already November, temperatures dropped so low that people had to wear two sets of thick clothes.

"Your word is greatly respected in this Kingdom. I will do my best to cooperate with any offer you bring upon us."

Said King Michael to further increase his status on her eyes due to economical reasons.

"As far as I observed, Gaster Kingdom lacks natural resources. Your only natural resource used to be the mines before they depleted. Fish is considerably a natural resource but you have a Kingdom to feed so you have no fish to spare."

"Yes yes. Getting a profit out of this land seems and sounds impossible. What do you recommend though?"

"I recommend to start a farming project!"

"With all due respect miss Alama, that isn't a good idea. The outer lands near our Kingdom are almost impossible to start farms on. There are way to many hills and drops, not to mention the ground being to rocky."

"I'm aware of that. I saw for myself. But I own 3 Farms and can provide you with 30 farmers, they aren't all under my employment but i still can get them for you.

They are considerably able to turn that piece of land into a farmable profitable place but you will need to cover their salaries under the Kingdom's expenses."

"If those farmers can turn the outer lands in to actual farms they can even seek permanent employment here. But our overall income is flat. How can I possibly pay them?"

"This is the best part. I'm willing to offer you 200,000 Gold Coins for 10% of the Kingdom's income starting right after December ends.

This will be more than enough to keep the farmers paid for 44 months as they won't work unless you pay them 150 Gold Coins a month."

"Can those Farmers guarantee enough farmable land by the planting season? 44 months pa.s.s by rather quick. If they can't secure profit, it would end up with wasted land."

"They are 30 farmers, they will need to start converting the fields in January, possibly working through snow as well. But they can secure 3 miles wide and long of farmable land by the end of Mars. Which would for sure prove profitable in such a scarcely populated place."

"In that case we have a deal miss Alama. I will prepare some proper doc.u.mentations for us to sign. We are in Business."
