"Then the method you came up with, is it to sell the account?" Duchamp winked his eyebrows.

"That's not called selling hukou, that's called introducing population, if a place wants to develop, how can it do without a certain base of population. It just so happened that Fried was looking for territory for his men, and the whole continent, only I was here unconditionally open to the Northumbrians, and we quickly reached an agreement, and he came with two or three thousand men. Other adventurers followed, and Pvennis soon became an adventurer's camp, with a population of over 10,000, and now 15,000. When my uncle saw that this method worked, he relied on the gourd to draw a scoop and also relaxed the household registration control in Floling. ”

Duchamp couldn't help but look at the baron with admiration, a small lord in the middle of nowhere, with such courage and foresight, is indeed a talent.

"I'm afraid that now, Pvennis has a new population growth point, and Julay is in a mess now, and many people have run over."

"Yes, I am considering a new measure, whether to introduce preferential measures for the Julay people, to halve the fee for household registration, and to attract more people. Andrew, I heard that you are a native of Julai, can you give me some advice? ”

Lu thought for a while and said: "The people over there, many of them can only grow wheat, attract them, what can they do, my mercenary group is now also restricted from joining people." In addition, will the large population make it difficult to supply food locally? ”

Baron Theresa frowned and said, "Indeed, I have heard very bad news that Julay is planning to control the price of food supplies on our side, which is all the work of the new governor. For hundreds of years, we had never heard of Julay cutting off our food supply, and it was for this reason that the Dominion of Gatapunia was able to exist in this bitter cold land in the far north. ”

Both Lu and Duchamp heard the news for the first time, and the two stood up in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Baron Theresa said angrily: "The main link of Gatapunia is from my uncle's domain, Flo Ridge, directly across the Azig Mountains, to the Eagle Pass in Julai. The 19th Division, which is now stationed at Eagle Pass, detains merchants' goods, not only grain, but also many supplies, in the name of inspecting smuggling. Fortunately, the road to Yumir and Ruray on my side is relatively smooth, but despite this, the price of grain has risen considerably. ”

Duchamp pursed his lips and said: "This method is simply clumsy, and now I think that with one level, I can get stuck in someone's throat, which is really ridiculous." ”

Baron Theresa asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Duchamp said: "I remember that we used to walk the mountain road from Julai to Pvinis, although the road was very difficult to walk, but the distance in a straight line was not far, it was better to build a transport airship and go directly by air." Besides, we also have a border with the Duke of Kane's territory, Marel, but there are no roads. It's the Empire's largest grain producer, and I don't think there's any reason why Duke Kane wouldn't sell us grain, just find a suitable route. ”

Baron Theresa clapped his hands and said happily: "Styry, you are such a genius, my uncle is worried about this matter all this time, and I will write to him later." Thinking of this, he hesitated and asked: "How much does it cost to build such a route?" ”

Duchamp was not at this problem either, and he reckoned: "The transport, and not the kind of regular ship that needs a large airport, can take off and land in a stable place." The price, when I inquire, it is estimated that it will cost 50 million meters, plus the construction of the airship floor, it will not exceed 100 million meters. To the south of Pvennes, a steady air route was detected, which could be transported all year round, and a shipping company could simply be set up, and when grain was not transported, other goods could be transported to other merchants, and even to transport guests. In a few years, you can earn back the money you bought the airship. ”

Baron Teresa clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Styry, you are really a genius, otherwise, we will jointly participate in the shipping company." ”

Duchamp said with interest: "I have a lot of things to do now, even if my shares are at the head of the road, let him act as my agent, and we will also pay the money we should pay, what do you think?" ”

Baron Teresa nodded, and calculated: "The territory of the airship flat, it's on the west gate of the city, and there is still a large empty area, pilot, you have to let the eldest uncle find a way to find it from the imperial capital, airship, by the way, who to buy the airship?" ”

"Of course, the airship is the best in the Chase Central Workshop, I am very familiar with it, and I will order the airship, anyway, it is a civilian product, just import it according to the normal procedures."

The more Baron Theresa thought about it, the more proud he became, and he said with a dance: "I can't imagine that in just fifteen years, my territory has even developed shipping, hahahaha!" ”

Having solved a great problem, Baron Teresa said in high spirits: "I will take you to see my fur art. ”

In addition to the main building, there are several houses around the Lord's Mansion, one of which was requisitioned by the Lord as a fur design room, which can be regarded as a new use for the leather of the local Warcraft.

Duchamp and Lu didn't know much about the so-called fur art, so they could only compliment it as much as they could, and the lord was so happy that one of them gave them one. Duchamp critically asked for a half-length white coat, and Lu Shun took a black coat in his hand.

Duchamp looked at the castle lord's works and suggested that "coats can only be worn for a few months a year, so it is better to make more ladies' daily bags, which can be used all year round." ”

Baron Teresa's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect it, the south is not so cold, and the sales of coats are not large, but there is a big market for handbags and other things." Styry, you're a genius. ”

Duchamp had already heard the baron say this several times, and he was basically immune, and said lazily: "What about the brand? Are you going to call it Louis Vuitton, or are you going to call it Gucci? ”

Baron Theresa said, "Of course I have to name it after myself, I have already designed a fancy rune. With that, I took the trademark pattern.

Duchamp looked at the overlapping CT pattern and thought to himself, I don't know if these two letters can catch fire.

After the visit, the courteous baroness came over and invited him to the table, the meal had been arranged, and the road was slightly deprecated, but Duchamp sat down unceremoniously.

At the dinner table, Duchamp saw the baron's children, two lovely little girls, and a baby boy lying in a cradle. Duchamp apologized to the two little Loli for not being able to bring the gifts.

The baron proudly introduced that the baby boy was born in the summer and would be his heir in the future.

"I've got his name in mind, Oscar, what do you think of it?"

"Good name, glittering, promising future." Duchamp said sincerely.

Seizing the opportunity, Duchamp took out the "Duchamp Cookbook" he had sorted out and said: "This is only the first part, and there are many essences in the future, and I will only write it out slowly later." ”

The baron took the book in his hand and opened it, and the first line read: "The people live on food." ”
