What's the most important thing about catching mice?
Cut off the roots!
Just like with pest cleaning, people would rather spend more money and hire a professional company than want pests to reappear.
Especially for wealthy gentry and nobles, they pay more attention to whether they can completely eliminate the damn rats in the manor.
after all...
Everyone knows that mice reproduce very quickly. It only takes 3-4 weeks for a female mouse to go from pregnancy to birth. She can give birth to 6-8 babies in a year, with the first baby being 5-6. After that, one will be added to each litter, until 15-16 rat pups are produced in each litter, and then one will be reduced from each litter....
Under normal circumstances, a female rat can add thousands of members to the rat family every year.
Therefore, even if the gentry and nobles hate these damn rats, they cannot completely eradicate them.
As long as Ma Wei can do this, even if his bid is higher, he can still get countless orders.
This is what Hernan calls efficiency.
"It seems that you know something about starting a company." Ma Wei smiled and took out his wallet: "How much do I need to pay?"
"Seven days, a total of 14 shillings...don't give me the money, I'm not in charge of the cashier."
As he spoke, Hernan wrote a payment slip and placed it in front of Ma Wei: "Go to the payment office at the door to pay. Tomorrow morning, you will be able to see the rat removal advertisement in the Ross Daily... If If you subscribe to our newspaper.”
"I am your annual fee user..."
With the payment slip in hand, Ma Wei did not leave directly, but changed the subject: "Mr. Hernan, I just heard that the new bill was enacted by Congress?"
"Yes, the new religious law was passed at noon yesterday. It will be the front page headline of Ross Daily tomorrow." Hernan nodded and looked at Mavey with his light brown eyes: "Father, you should know that it has not been published. News can’t be shown to outsiders, right?”
"I know, I know, but..."
Ma Wei shrugged and said calmly: "The new religious law is related to the future of each church. I am a little worried. It would be great to know the details earlier. But if this causes you trouble, I can understand it." .”
A gold coin with the image of King Rhodes IV was slowly pushed towards Hernan Mott.
Seeing the gold coins, Hernan Mott narrowed his eyes, touched his palm on the table, quietly accepted the gold coins, stood up and said: "I can understand your feelings very well, Father, people always do things when it doesn't concern them. They can speak righteously, but once they are involved, many people become irrational... As a writer, you must have a strong ability to empathize. Only in this way can you stand in the position of the person involved. Write a good article after another.”
"You are so considerate. May the goddess protect you." Ma Wei said with a smile.
"Please wait a moment. I'll come when I go."

"What? Just such a piece of tattered paper cost you a whole gold pound?!"
In the open-air cafe downstairs of Ross Daily, Levin looked at an unedited first draft of the news in his hand, his eyes widened with shock: "I said, Boss, that's not how money is spent. Tomorrow morning, we won't Just know it, no matter what happens..."
He looked around and lowered his voice and said, "If it doesn't work, let Fat Orange and the others sneak into the newspaper office and steal a copy! If they can't do it, I'll still be there!"
"Calm down, don't be so excited."
Ma Wei blew the hot air in the cup and said calmly: "Someone is watching us."
Just as Levin glanced at the other customers around him, he heard Ma Wei say: "It's not them. Ever since we left the church, there have been tails following us, more than one..."
Frowning slightly, Levin sat back down and stopped looking around: "Who are they?"
"An informant in other churches."
"How did you find them?"
"trace."
"Trace? What trace?"
"Traces left by cats."
Ma Wei crossed his hands, nestled in the chair, and looked deeply: "Wherever I go, there will be cats passing by. This is arranged by Fat Orange. Cats will bark to warn people. If someone is following them, they will Give me a little bark, and if I don't... they won't show up at all."
"These tails are following us to monitor the Church of Truth, but at the same time, the cats are also watching them."
"Do you know...why I paid 1 gold pound for the first draft of a news article about the new religious law?"
Levine shook his head blankly.
"It's simple, because after we leave the newspaper office, other people will ask about what I just did. Even from the moment I entered the newspaper office, someone has been secretly monitoring me."
Ma Wei said softly: "Who knows if there are believers from other churches in Ross Daily?"
"So you took advantage of this and deliberately spent money to buy the first draft of the news to confuse them?"
"As soon as I walked into the newspaper office, someone rushed in with the first draft of the new religious law. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?" Ma Wei sneered: "This is a trap, they just want to see it, I am listening The reaction after seeing the new religious law, as a priest of the Church of Truth, I will definitely have a strong interest in the new religious law... This is actually the case, and they think so too."
"Tonight, we are going to Baron Bill's house to attend a party. Because there will be other nobles attending, I can't wait for tomorrow morning's newspaper. The sooner I get the information, the sooner I can think about countermeasures. This is one of them."
"Secondly, if there are informants from other churches in the newspaper, then my spending money to buy the first draft of the news will just confuse them and make them confused about the details of the Truth Church."
"Thirdly, if I didn't buy the first draft of the news, but learned the detailed information about the new religious law, then other churches must suspect that we used other means... We must be cautious in doing things, and spend tens of millions of dollars on the right place. Don’t be stingy, be greedy for small gains, and suffer big losses.”
Levin stared at Ma Wei blankly, his mind unable to turn around for a moment.
"How do they know that you stole the first draft of the new religious law?"
"That's for the next show."
Taking out his pocket watch, Mavey looked at the time: "The next performance is tonight, Baron Bill's Mansion... Well, let's talk about the new religious law."
“The first draft of the news said that Congress will establish a Religious Affairs Bureau in each city to systematically manage and register religious activities. Churches that have registered with the Religious Affairs Bureau will not only receive legal recognition, but also receive monthly There is no threshold for the financial subsidy of 50 gold pounds. As long as you provide the list of believers to the Secretariat, you can obtain various benefits including but not limited to financial subsidies... Levin, what do you think?"
His eyelids twitched, Levin took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"His heart is to be killed!"
