It is said that it is to discuss Liszt's new identity, but in fact, the Grand Duke has already prepared a plan - Iron Hoof City and Coral Island will be unified into a new territory, as Liszt's marquis fief, and spend this period of preparation for the establishment of the country.

Liszt accepted the Grand Duke's kindness.

The Grand Duke and the Grand Prince and the others were secretly relieved, they were now afraid that Liszt's appetite was too big to satisfy. Therefore, the Grand Duke said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency Liszt, please give this territory a new name, and I will immediately arrange for the palace to prepare for the canonization of your title." ”

Even if it was an excessive territory, Liszt still thought seriously for a moment before replying: "Let's call it the Flame Realm." ”

He is the Fire Dragon Knight, and the Fire Dragon is the embodiment of the flame, and the territory is symbolized by the Fire Dragon, called the Fire Lord, and reminds others all the time that this is the territory of the Fire Dragon Knight.

"Okay, I will canonize you as the Marquis of Flame and enjoy the absolute jurisdiction of the territory. With a wave of his hand, the Grand Duke made a decision.

The Marquis of Flame was nominally a feudal nobleman of Sapphire, but in fact Liszt would sign a contract with the Grand Duke to attack and defend the alliance, and the two were on an equal footing.

The title was set, and the big nobles stepped forward to congratulate them.

"Tulip family has two marquises, congratulations!"

"Marquis of Flame, Marquis of Oxtail, congratulations!"

"The knights are glorious, and the tulip family is destined to prosper forever. ”

Liszt smiled and thanked them one by one, not too arrogant, he had always been a peaceful person. Maybe the nobles are divided into three, five, nine and so on because of their status, but the nobles and commoners in his eyes are all equal - they are just ants, so how can they be different.

There are ants under the dragon knight, and Liszt is also very inflated these days.

Powerful forces tend to get carried away, for example, Levi's promotion to Sky Knight is very inflated and proud, if it weren't for Liszt's identity as a dragon knight accidentally poured cold water on him, I don't know how arrogant he would be now. But Liszt has no one to pour cold water on, he needs to take his time to calm down.

Fortunately, the soul of adults has enough self-control to overcome the inflated mentality.

There was no time to continue arguing with the nobles, and after returning to the Nameless Castle, Liszt said directly to the Marquis of Oxtail: "Father, the promotion of the title of the Flame Lord, as well as the material assistance to negotiate with the Grand Duke, need you to deal with it a lot. ”

William Li said lightly: "Don't worry, everything here has me." ”

"Then please father. ”

"You are the pride of the Tulip family, concentrate on the cultivation of the dragon knight and improve your strength, and leave other miscellaneous matters to me to deal with, and you will definitely strive for the greatest interests for you. ”

"Hmm. ”

I have to say that having the help of his family makes Liszt a lot easier. Even if he has become a dragon knight, he still needs someone he can trust to help him build his family business - now he has two dragons to raise, especially the light emerald dragon to recuperate, and I am afraid that the resources required will be astronomical.

The light emerald mine has not yet developed well, and it will have to wait two years for mining until the impact of this dragon slaying battle has passed.

So I had to think of another way.

He asked his brother Levi to call his uncle Messiro over for a brief meeting with the family.

"Father, uncle, I need to raise dragons, there is a huge gap in resources, I can't raise dragons with the strength of the country, and dragons can't give back a lot of resources, so at this stage, I must accumulate resources by doing business. ”

For this.

William Lee and Messiro are well aware that Leo is an elemental dragon, not a gem dragon or a metal dragon.

Messiro said on the spot: "Liszt, if you need it, the Long Taro family will be your solid backing, and I can give some resources to support you." ”

"Thank you Uncle for your kindness, but not for the time being, I have a few ways to make money. White paper and glass, both of which are huge profiteering industries, I plan to expand the scale of production, and then use the channels of the tulip family and the taro family to sell to the mainland. ”

"That's no problem, the benefits of white paper and glass, I believe that the nobles of the mainland can't resist at all. ”

"In addition to white paper and glass, I am still exploring other profiteering industries, and I have basically figured out perfume, porcelain and sea salt. ”

"Sea salt?" asked Messiro, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, seawater contains salt and requires special technology to refine, and I have basically mastered that I can produce high-quality sea salt in large quantities, which is of higher quality than well salt and pool salt. Liszt said proudly, even in an archipelago country, sapphire is still relatively short of salt.

Because most of the salt at present is mineral salt, pond salt, well salt, and other salt from land land, people do not know how to ask for it from the sea.

There is a salt mine on Coral Island, but there is no shortage of salt, so Liszt did not pay attention to this aspect before, and only when the territory was starting, did he start to study the salting of seawater - in fact, the technique is very simple, with the cooperation of magicians to study, and soon the sea salt can be eaten.

The seashores of Black Horse Island are not very suitable for salt drying, so they cannot be promoted.

However, the oxtail collar of the Marquis of Oxtail has many flat, sunny seasides that are suitable for opening up into salt pans, and Red Crab Island will naturally have suitable salt pans.

Once high-quality sea salt is produced, it will quickly impact the mainland's salt market and bring huge profits to Liszt - you must know that the salt merchants in ancient China were all prominent and wealthy merchants, and even the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River by these big salt merchants to be warmly entertained.

It can be seen that the salt industry is profitable.

Robbery is far from making money by doing business.

According to Liszt's estimates, if the salt is dried and sold on a large scale, I am afraid that just monopolizing the salt market in the coastal area of the Iron Ridge Kingdom will generate profits comparable to the financial income of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire for a year - of course, the Iron Ridge Kingdom may not open the salt market to Liszt.

It is more likely to cooperate with the great nobles of the kingdom.

In any case, white paper, glass, porcelain, perfume, and sea salt are all at once, and the money is endless. Even if the technology is exposed after a few years, Liszt estimates that he should develop it, and at that time, who dares to block his way to make money, and directly ride three or five dragons to the door!

He was very confident: "With the pit dragon method of the smoke mission, after a few years, it shouldn't be difficult for me to ride three or five dragons." ”

After all, he had already ridden a two-headed dragon and had three dragon soul fruits in reserve.

The production of sea salt made William Li and Messiro see the golden money, so they were enthusiastic, and even Levi asked with a shy face: "Liszt, if I and Loria can borrow the channel of the Golden Wheat Ear family, can we also join your trade plan?"

"If the channel is definitely in the hands of your husband and wife, instead of the Golden Wheat Ears family secretly controlling it, I don't mind if you make money together, brother. ”

The mainland market is huge, and there is no need to worry about too many people sharing the cake.

Anyway, no matter who participates in the trade plan, the positioning is only an agent, and in essence, it is all about making money for Liszt, and the ownership of all the technology is in his hands.

Even if the Grand Duke wanted to make peace in the future, Liszt would welcome it.

Of course, the road has to be taken step by step, and at this stage, Liszt still tends to control the channel by the family first, and then make the next judgment according to the profit situation fed back by the market.
