Chapter 0418: The Earl Is Stimulated (First Update)
Liszt did not argue with the Count's attribution of his and Melissa's noble blood for his success.
Always give the other party a face.
He changed the subject and said, "Father, what do you think about the sale of rubber?"
"I experimented with the rubber you provided yesterday and it is truly an extraordinary item, more impressive and versatile than glutinous rice juice. The Earl groaned slightly, and then said, "Tulip Fort has obtained a lot of supplies in the Battle of Iron Hoof Island, and its dependence on gold coins is not high, so I can buy a batch of rubber to relieve your pressure." β
"Rubber is a specialty of Black Horse Island, the yield is not high, and cutting rubber is very damaging to rubber trees, so the price will not be cheap. β
"Is it more expensive than glutinous rice?"
Glutinous rice is a type of grain that can be eaten, but the juice of glutinous rice is more useful for watering the castle, and RamΓrez White Glutinous Rice, Marquis of Leather Island, is a family built on glutinous rice.
"I think it's definitely more expensive than glutinous rice, because rubber can also build cities, and the quality of building cities is no worse than glutinous rice juice, and it is slightly better than glutinous rice juice in terms of speed, hardness, and adhesion. But rubber is not only used to build cities, it can be used to bond anything, build ships, repair armor, everything!"
If it weren't for the lack of money, Liszt would not have been willing to take them out.
The earl looked at Liszt and asked very puzzledly, "How many good things are still hidden on your Black Horse Island?"
"Well, this one does have some specialty. Liszt replied lightly, "The most important thing is that the development work is done well, like the rubber of the rubber tree, maybe the average person will only treat it as the sap that flows from the tree, and will not explore its use." β
In fact, he was very proud in his heart, because there were too many specialties in the territory.
In terms of crops β the binder rubber is endless, the ironwood quality thorn wood, the fruit fragrant coconut fruit that can be drunk directly, the green tea tree that has not yet been planted on a large scale, and the smoky grass that attracts the invisible dragon, and the corn grass that could become the cob.
In terms of potions, the black tulip, the symbol of the territory flag, the flame mushroom and the ice flame mushroom grown from mushrooms, the potion thorn that can be grown quickly among the thorns, and the auxiliary medicine species nightshade that has just begun to be cultivated on a large scale.
In terms of breeding industry, green caterpillars and mallards will become a major specialty, black pearl clams are also good specialties, black-blooded BMWs are not to mention more precious specialties, dragon cows are also precious specialties, if you can solve the fertility problem, Blizzard beasts should be regarded as specialty.
In terms of industry, the products of the dragon brick factory are all specialty, such as slates, culverts, bricks, and other fired products under development, such as ceramics, glass, cement, lime, etc., distilled liquor, flower brewing, toiletries, flower soap, and white paper in the future.
In terms of food β needless to say, Flower Town has always been known as the culinary source of Coral Island, and countless delicacies have begun to circulate here.
Others can't ask for a special product, but Liszt is troubled by too many specialties and can't be developed, so many specialties are simply left alone.
So at present, there are so many specialties in Flower Town and Black Horse Island, and he is still so poor that he can't afford to buy books.
"If you want to discover good things, you first need good things to actually exist......" The Count took a deep breath and suppressed his jealousy for his son, "How many elves do you have now?"
"Well, that's it. Liszt groaned, how to answer.
The Count was dissatisfied: "Do you still need to hide it from me?"
"I have 24 elven bugs...... There are also 2 pokemon. β
"2 elves?"
"One is Zyra, you've seen, and one is a useless mangrove elf. He said modestly, the current Nami is not useless, and raising mallards is inseparable from Nami's ability.
The Count paused.
Then he sighed: "I remember that when I divided the seal, I only gave you four elf worms, and later because you found a black tulip, I rewarded you with one elf worm, that is, you found nineteen elf worms yourself, and two elves?"
"The origin of the elven worm is more complicated, two elven worms were born in the potted plant given to me by my grandmother, I contracted a barley worm outside the nameless castle of Mane City, father, you still remember the six-headed king sea snake, I used its blood to water four snake blood fruit worms according to the record of a magic book. β
Liszt calculated: "Aside from these, there are not many elven insects born in the territory, only 13...... And Zyra is also a thorn worm evolution that you gifted. β
Other words.
The number of elves bred by Flower Town and Dark Horse Island itself is 13 elven insects and 1 elf.
"Thirteen don't you think it's too little, Coral Island has only been born of a total of twenty years of cultivation since I took over, but there are only more than two hundred, and more than ten elven insects are bred a year!" the count tried to keep his emotions calm, "The point is, I have never found a wild elf. β
Liszt wanted to say something, to lighten the mood.
But he was directly interrupted by the earl: "I used to think that 'knightly glory is favored' just an inspirational slogan, but now I believe that knightly glory does exist, and it clearly favors you...... Go back, don't live up to the glory of the knight, I look forward to your future!"
He quickly sent Liszt away, and he didn't even intend to discuss the pricing of the rubber.
When the door is closed.
The study fell silent.
The Earl leaned his body completely into the back of his chair, his gaze gradually fell to an unknown place in time and space, and said softly, "Melissa, your most uneasy son, has grown to full wings and will fly high in the sky at any time...... It's just that this kid has too many eyes, and the Marquis of Merlin wrote to tell me that he was clearly promoted to the elite Earth Knight last year......"
The sound fell into an ethereal mishap.
After a while, he raised his voice a little: "From an ordinary earth knight to an elite earth knight, it only takes half a year...... There are several potions in his domain, and he also takes in a magician who specializes in making potions...... Our son, I'm afraid, is better than I did when I was younger!"
......
"Actually, I should keep a low profile, and I shouldn't provoke the Count. β
Riding on the back of Loki, a chocobo, recalling the scene when the count was almost on the verge of an emergency, Liszt shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, let Galtai come tomorrow and negotiate with Levi and Frank to negotiate a suitable price to ease the finances of the territory." β
The powerful properties of rubber are obvious to all, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell at a price.
When he returned to the territory, he was not ready to inspect the corngrass field when he received a report from the administration office - the serf old Pol found that there was a strange piece of corngrass in his corngrass field, and huge flower spikes bloomed on the top of his head.
Isaiah further explained: "My lord, we have no way of telling if this piece of corn grass is breeding corn grass insects, they look a little unusual, but there are so many of them that there are more than two dozen corn grasses, all of which produce huge flower spikes...... It is unlikely that more than two dozen elven worms will be bred at the same time. β
"Spikes of flowers bloom on the top of his head?" said Liszt frowned, it didn't seem to be the same corn cob he was expecting.
