Chapitre 189: Opening the marketplace (part 2)

27th June 1574

In the end, my estimates about the time that it would take my workers to finish all the wrap-up work in the trading office was grossly oversized. Rather than taking the rest of the day and the entire night, they managed to finish everything even before the sun managed to set behind the horizon!

"Good job guys. Just like promised, everyone will receive a bonus in the form of a single red golden per head, or the equivalent in the merit papers! You can go and claim them now, as, after a short break, we will be opening up the entire market!"

Gesticulating with my hands to add my own emotions to the already joyous atmosphere in the room, I smiled at the small crowd of the people that worked tirelessly in order to finish this project in advance when compared to the set deadline.
