Then Damien asked:' did we get a reply from the Santini and bright about the opening of the paper factory 🏠int heir land?'.
Jean:' yes my lord their response was positive we are just discussing the details about the management,choosing a plot of land and also waiting for the churches to provide us with a contract so that no-one do something stupid like after knowing the formula open another one and close this one or create problems out of tin air '.
Damien :' you full authority over this matter but I hope to hear a good news soon and also don't forget those plans about refugees resettlement and acquiring some slaves as we discussed '.
Jean :' it's all under way my lord our first shipment of slaves will arrive in one week number aroun two hundred households as for refugees our caravans are passing the word around it may take a while but we can expect some to arrive in weeks time'.
Damien :' that's good to hear if their is nothing else you can go back to rest and do your duties '.
Jean excused himself as for Damien he had about an two hours for his next meeting so he chose to meditate for the first hour to adjust his mental power and refine it a little as for refining his blood he will do it by night.
As for the second he opted to describe the production methods and materials needed to make his new products after all of he want to industrials he need to introduce few more products in order to get those merchant and nobles to invest in factory and start their own thus allowing him to focus on military production and more like a guiding hand.
So after hour or so he felt an knock on the door then a voice asking for a permission to enter Damien adjusted himself and sat then he said:' you can come in'.
The door opened Mathias,hector and gimil these three were responsible for pioneer any new invention and industrial product.
Then they each took a sit 🪑 and first talk is Mathias:'your lordship I would like to tell that production our new product soap has reached new highs and demande for it is even higher specially from ladies thus we made one with the sent of flower 🌹 to be sold as high quality for nobles we expect to make profit nearing that of paper'.
Damien feeling satisfied with what he heard he said:' iwas right to put my trust in you by making you in charge of the industrial zone '.
Mathias :' it's really an honour to be of service to you my lord and the barony'.
Damien the said' so let's get right to it today I called for three things first is the making of a new product we will call alcohol this will be our new product that we will try to sell it's a beverage like Beers and wine but with more powerful kick to it I think the dwarves will love it at same time can be used in making anothe item which will lead us to the seconde products which is perfume I know that is already there but we will use a distillation technique which will make it cheaper and faster to make as all our products we will high quality and low quality what do you think and finally is glass which can be used for drinking , experiment,windows but the most important thing about is they we are gonna use them to package those high quality perfumes'.
The first to speak was hector:' from the blueprints you gave us my lord making alcohol and perfume will be easier since we already know how to make a distillery so all that left is to adjust the doses for the perfume and mixing them which can be done by apprentice alchemist so challenge will come from producing glass as we will need sand or like you want to call it silica so in order to make in we need to melt silica with ash and lime in a furnace, then shaping it using glassblowing for vessels or the "crown" or "muff" methods for window panes, relying on skilled artisans and intense heat from wood fires, though quality will varied due to inconsistencies'.
He stopped for a moment to let his remark sink in :' this for making this glass we will need high qualified craftsman who will specialise in this so in my opinion at the beginning we should just start with alcohol, a medium size workshop for perfume and a small workshop just for making the packaging for the high end product for to things first to train the craftsman and second as to not waist a lot of material since this a new way to make glass and most importantly we will have to import sand from far away that's I think it will be better to buil the glass factory in Manheim when you get back my lord'.
After hearing this Damien taught for sometimes he said' we will do as you say hector for now but I want this factories operational a soon as possible with plan to build a factory glass in Manheim not only for perfume but also for daily uses like cup 🍵, bottle and finally high end product to be be used in parties and so on it that understood '.
This time it was Mathias turn to speak:' me too I find what master hector proposed is reasonable and I can promise by th time you get back Manheim my lord you will everything ready is just my lord the manpower an issue even with slaves and refugees for the time being they are just like painkillers not a remedy my lord'.
Gearin this Damien chuckled and said:' don't worry about I have my own plan on how to remedy this as you succeeding is essential for my future plans '.
Both mathi, hector and the usually quiet gimil said:' don't worry my lord we will get the job done I hope you can excuse us so we can start '.
Damien nodded and gestured to them that they can leave .
Afte Damien had about a half hour of test in which he drunk a glass of blood as it becomes me now more of habit than an need.
Sometimes later a knock was heard Damien told them to come four people come in two man and two women.
One of them a middle aged he look to be around forty with a good build his face screamed with I am a veteryof war with no hint of charms a typical experienced knight who has more blood than he can count and he has kille more than he can remember this must be Victor who Damien inter to make hime into his enforcer.
The second to come is dark skinned women beautiful by any standards and some may say the her beauty is unmatched it has gothic look about to her this must be Ayerendyle who Damien intend on making her responsable over all that is considered underhanded or that has some questionable ethics to it but most importantly she will responsible with monitoring those around him who could pose i direct threat to him that is why he asked Crowley to make this meeting like just presenting some talent to him than they already hired and working for him.
As for they other two they are obviously Crowley and kikyou.
