Caravan management, Liszt did not intend to let the townspeople form themselves, he planned to form a caravan exclusive to the castle. There is no motivation and idea for reform and innovation, what kind of free trade system is formed, just according to the practice of most nobles, running their own territory.

Old Grandet was elected caravan leader.

Abagon and Sherlock assisted.

"The only thing you can do at the moment is seafood, and I hope that starting from Coral City, the seafood in Flower Town can gradually be sold in all cities. Liszt said.

"As you wish, my lord. ”

"Tell me how you're going to sell seafood, it's new, and most people haven't eaten it, so they're obviously afraid of it. ”

Old Grandet thought for a moment and replied, "My lord, we can spread the word along the street that the Earl is full of praise for seafood. I believe that there will be countless people who will flock to the food praised by the Earl. "It's a celebrity hype, uncreative but very useful.

Sherlock added a little to the old Grandet's method: "You can also contact the kitchens of most nobles' houses first, and send them a little seafood for free to taste." ”

"There are a lot of freedmen in Coral City, and they are also a potential force to buy seafood, and we can set up stalls on the streets and cook seafood for free for freedmen passing by. It won't be long before everyone in Coral City will know the deliciousness of seafood. Abagon suggested.

Liszt felt that both methods were good: "It seems that you already have a complete idea of doing business, and when the road to Thorn Ridge is opened, you can start doing business." ”

Old Grande hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, we don't have a carriage, how can we transport seafood to Coral City?"

"As soon as the road is opened, I will buy a few wagons. Liszt groaned and said that there were still sixteen gold coins in the castle, and that the carriage that usually hauled goods and carried the goods shed was one gold coin.

He could buy six, not more, there weren't enough horses to pull the carts.

Seeing off the three old Grande, Liszt sighed slightly.

He thought that the castle had enough gold coins, but now he found that there were not enough at all. Five hundred serfs cost him one hundred and twenty gold coins, and in order to make the town reach the scale of five thousand people, he had to prepare at least more than six hundred gold coins, and to make the town reach the scale of tens of thousands, it would take nearly two thousand gold coins.

"Otherwise, I sold the Red Blood Sword to Levi, or Captain Mickey, which is too expensive for them to afford, and the price of a thousand gold coins should be able to afford it, right?"

It's just that when he holds the red blood sword hanging from his waist, the warm touch of magic makes him unable to make such a decision.

This is a gem weapon.

Gemstones produced by dragons represent power.

And matching his fighting attributes, even if he becomes a sky knight in the future, this red-blooded sword is still worthy of his identity.

"It can only develop slowly, and I hope that this year, relying on compost farming, the flower town can have a bumper yield. Coupled with the elven worms I brought, as well as the elven worms that I bred on my own, the tax revenue for the next quarter should be able to exceed fifteen gold coins, right?"

After Isaiah's careful calculations, the various crops and handicraft crops harvested in the spring season were probably worth about seven gold coins.

In previous years, the tax in the spring was generally around three gold coins.

There are almost no taxes in the winter, about four in the summer, about seven in the fall, and less than fifteen in the whole year.

With the elven insects this year, and the reliance on compost to plough the fields, and the fishing of seafood, Liszt is confident that the summer tax revenue will reach the level of last year's whole of the year.

In the fall, taxes will definitely be higher, and it is not impossible to surpass Li Weiwei's Falcon Town.

"Master, your milk tea has been brewed. Carter, the housekeeper, walked into the study with a cup of milk tea brewed with fresh milk, and a cup of milk tea before going to bed every day was Liszt's habit.

"Thank you. ”

After taking the milk tea, Liszt, who was just a little thirsty, drank it directly, and drank half of the milk tea at just the right temperature in one go.

His tongue licked a little milk tea foam on his lips, and he hesitated slightly: "Mr. Carter, is today's milk tea still brewed by Mrs. Mawson?"

"Yes, sir, is there a problem with the milk tea brewing today?" Carter became a little nervous.

Liszt shook his head: "It's no problem to brew, but I always feel that Mrs. Mawson's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and the milk tea is getting better and better." ”

"I will convey your compliments to Mrs. Mawson, and I am sure she will be pleased. ”

......

On the first day of July, the afternoon sun is lazy, and the clouds occasionally obscure the sun, as if a mischievous child quietly blindfolds his partner.

It's not too hot, and the wind is blowing.

Liszt, who inspected the logging work, stood on the other side of the Thorn Ridge with a handsome smile on his face, and solemnly announced: "All the trees at a distance of 100 meters on both sides of the road have been cut down, and the logging team has done a good job of my explanation, as a lord, I pay tribute to you." ”

Respect is just a mouthful.

Next, the civilians still have to continue to work: "The opening of the road to Thorn Ridge means that Flower Town will be connected to the outside world, and no longer need to be closed in a corner of Coral Island, anyone can go out and see." However, in order to further strengthen road safety, it is necessary to insist on completing the fence. ”

After a pause, he said: "Therefore, the original logging team did not disband for the time being, and directly built a fence to completely isolate the woods on both sides of Thorn Ridge from the fence. ”

The timber needed for the fence is taken locally, and there is a large amount of felled wood here, which is still directly on the ground.

The best timber was transported to the castle for storage, the second timber was pulled to build the oyster houses, the second timber was used as a fence, and the last scraps were taken back by the civilians to cook in pots.

The road is open and it's a time to celebrate.

Liszt summoned Galtai, Marcus, Isaiah, and Blair to arrange the rest of the work.

First, of course, there was the problem of the caravans, which had to start selling seafood immediately after the purchase of the wagons, and secondly, the purchases, in which Liszt was ready to spend the last ten gold coins to purchase a shortage of food, including hops and beer, and then the caravans of the various cities of Coral Island, telling them that the town of Flowers could come and go freely.

The caravan of the castle is responsible for the bulk of the trade that Liszt explains, and under normal circumstances, it will not involve too much trade between civilians.

The entry of caravans from other places into the Flower Town will enliven the atmosphere of the town and bring the circulation of wealth and daily necessities.

"Finally, it is important to note that the town of flowers will welcome freedmen to settle in the form of lower taxes, and it is important to spread the news to the various cities. "Liszt is looking forward to the population now, he really doesn't care about that bit of tax, and the development of the territory is the first priority.

Several people were busy jotting down Liszt's explanation.

Marcus suddenly said, "My lord, I am going to take a day off and take my family to live in Flower Town. ”

When Isaiah heard this, he let out a long sigh: "My stupid son, I'm afraid, doesn't want to come to Flower Town, he is used to fooling around in Coral City. ”

Blair said happily: "Then I will also take my family by the way, life here is a bit monotonous, but the air is fragrant." ”

Galtai smiled awkwardly: "Liszt, I also want to take my family over, but ...... Freya was pregnant, and I couldn't handle it. ”

Liszt said solemnly: "Teacher Galtai, although keeping a mistress outside is a common problem of aristocrats who boast of their amorous affairs, it is immoral after all. I don't mean to persuade you to stop immediately, and since Freya is pregnant, you should take Freya as your wife in Flower Town. ”

After a moment of silence, he added, "Her child, if it were a boy, I would like to be my servant knight in the future." ”

"I am ashamed of your generosity, my lord, Galtai is willing to serve you!" Galtai stood up, walked up to Liszt, and saluted solemnly.

It's the same etiquette as Marcus before, a real follower.
