"In terms of treatment, as long as you're willing to follow, your monthly salary will rise to 12 silver deer."
Originally, the monthly salary for lumberjacks was 10 silver deer. Now, as long as they were willing to follow him to build a port in the wasteland of Lake Saylor, Jason Liu was willing to offer 2 more silver deer. Naturally, there would always be people willing to go.
"As for these newly recruited workers, since they don't want to go to Lake Saylor, they'll temporarily stay at the logging camp and take over the logging work. In short, monthly log production must remain stable."
Once he finished making arrangements, no one present objected. They simply followed Lord Jason's orders.
Even though Jason Liu spoke as if Lake Saylor was already in his pocket, deep down, he still felt a bit uncertain.
He was worried about discussing it with Lady Catelyn and Robb tomorrow—he wasn't sure if they would agree.
Looks like I need to come up with a few more reasonable excuses, Jason Liu thought to himself.
After finalizing the recruitment plans, Jason Liu stayed at the logging camp and had dinner with his key subordinates in the barracks.
Before it got completely dark, they took a carriage back to the castle in Winter Market Town ten miles away.
Entering the store, Jason Liu rubbed little Michal's head and scooped up Lillian, who had just learned to walk.
After thinking it over, Jason Liu decided he should also inform the four main managers of the Easter Stores—Lena, Martha, Susan, and Vanessa. "I plan to rent the wasteland by the lake beside Saylor from the Stark family in Winterfell. I'll build a trading port by the lake, and the Easter Store will move to the new port on the far side. You'll be moving there as well."
"How about it? Think it over—do you want to leave Winter Market Town and move to the new port with me?" Jason Liu held Martha's plump little daughter, Lilian, in his arms, teasing the chubby and adorable child.
"I'll go with you! No matter where you go, I'll follow you, my lord—" Lena ran over at once, reaching out to hug Jason Liu's arm.
The girl, already well-developed, pressed Jason Liu's arm tightly against her chest, causing him to roll his eyes at her.
Fortunately, Jason Liu and Goddess Lin had already become intimate, so he still had some self-control.
Still, he couldn't help comparing Lena with Lin Xiaohan. Sure enough, Lena—who wasn't even 17 yet—was actually more developed than Lin Xiaohan, who was already 23.
Noticing that Martha and the others were looking at the arm Lena clung to, Jason Liu coughed, his face flushed, and gently pulled his arm away.
Lena pouted unhappily.
This little girl was becoming increasingly bold in front of him, daring to openly molest Lord in front of her sister and others. Did she really think he wouldn't discipline her on the spot?
With that thought, Jason Liu subconsciously glanced at Lena's already shapely figure beside him.
Susan and Vanessa looked on with knowing smiles. They all understood what Lena was thinking—she hoped to become Lord Jason's personal maid.
Regarding Lord Jason's earlier question, they all expressed their willingness to move to Lake Saylor with him. After all, they already considered themselves part of the East family.
A gracious and generous noble like Lord Jason wasn't easy to find anywhere in Westeros. Of course they wanted to stay close to him.
That evening, with Lena and Bella's assistance, Jason Liu took a shower and brushed his teeth. He firmly rejected Lena's offer to warm his bed and returned alone to his room.
To be honest, Lena was already quite beautiful. While not as stunning as Sansa, she was certainly one of the rare beauties of Winter Market Town.
However, because they were so familiar with each other, he still felt a bit embarrassed about making a move on such a young girl.
And as for having a girlfriend already...
Emmm...
If he were still just a low-level employee in a small company back in the modern world, Jason Liu would never have dared entertain such thoughts. He would've stayed loyal to his girlfriend and lived quietly.
But now, with his career booming and having savored the sweet taste of power in the Game of Thrones world, Jason Liu's mindset had begun to shift.
Anyway, if I can travel between two worlds, then it's like having two lives.
In modern times, I can stay with Lin Xiaohan. In this world, I can live like a noble of Westeros!
Multiple lovers? How many nobles don't have them?
Right?
Cough cough... This is just doing as the locals do, to avoid seeming out of place.
It's definitely not an excuse to keep more beauties around. Definitely not—
Believe it or not, Jason Liu believed it himself.
He told himself it was all to better integrate into Westerosi high society. His sacrifice, wasn't it noble?
After this mental justification, Jason Liu felt much better.
At last, he had found the perfect excuse to run wild in the Game of Thrones world!
If Lin Xiaohan knew what her boyfriend was really thinking, she'd definitely beat him to death!
But clearly, no one would ever know that he had become a noble earl in another world, enjoying the indulgent life of noblemen and servants.
Jason Liu even dreamed of punching the Night King and kicking a dragon. He was too powerful. He directly made Daenerys kneel, while the rose maidens of House Tyrell all worshiped his... status, calling him "Lord Jason!"
Absolutely ridiculous!
In the morning, still dreaming about hugging beauties on all sides, Jason Liu was woken by the two little maids, Lena and Bella. A smirk lingered at the corner of his mouth, and drool was still running down.
While wiping the saliva from Lord Jason's mouth with a towel, Lena blinked her big eyes mischievously and smiled. "My lord, what were you dreaming about? You were smiling in your sleep just now—your mouth was wide open!"
Hearing this, Jason Liu blushed. That silly grin had definitely ruined his image.
Embarrassed, he closed his eyes and buried his head under the quilt, pretending to be dead.
Lena and Bella couldn't help giggling when they saw Lord Jason curled up in bed with his face buried.
"Hee hee! My lord, get up! Didn't you say yesterday you wanted to wake up early and head to Winterfell to discuss leasing the land by Lake Saylor with the Stark family? Come on, Bella and I will help you wash up and get breakfast ready!"
With that, Lena and Bella each took one of his arms and cheerfully pulled him out of bed.
Remembering the business he had today, Jason Liu sat up and let Lena and Bella wash his face and brush his teeth.
Yes, indeed—Lord Liu was now fully enjoying the thoughtful service of his maids.
