In half a month, Jaime came up with a practical filter distillation device, which was extremely inexpensive, and it cost less than twenty gold coins in total, which could purify a total of 300 liters of maple sugar. The original maple syrup, about one liter per bottle, sells for five gold coins, and the cost is three gold coins, and the profit margin is actually not high.

Now, the maple syrup, purified by the new method, has been placed in front of Luo Lin, the color is transparent and yellowish, as pure as jade, scooped up with a spoon, poured into a bowl, it is as smooth as silk, and it is very beautiful.

You don't need to eat, just look at the appearance, just look at the specialty of this Maple Leaf Town, this thing is worth a lot of money!

Then under Jaime's nervous gaze, Rollin tasted a spoonful, and tasted it carefully, only to feel that the taste was mellow and delicate, and the flavor of maple sugar was a little lighter than before, no, it should be said that it was purer, and it became very soft.

Rollin nodded: "Very good, very good." ”

This time, he sat at the long table in the castle's dining room with Jaime next to him, dressed in a clean and tidy new dress for the sake of decency.

There were three other people next to him, one of whom was a jewelry designer specially invited by Rollin from the city, named Orda, a very famous person in the northern aristocratic circle.

Another person is a gourmand specially invited from the Lion City, named Lucinda, a beautiful woman, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, is at the peak of a woman's age, from her, you can find all the beautiful characteristics of women, beautiful, feminine, delicate, elegant, all in one, very charming.

The only thing missing is chastity. There is no way to do this, Lucinda was born in a commoner family, relying on her beauty to circulate in the aristocratic circle, although she is a gourmet, in fact, she is a courtesan.

The last one was Angela, who heard about Maple Sugar and came purely to see the fun.

Jaime was greatly relieved to hear Rollin's comment, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

The attendant scooped the maple candy to Angela and Orda respectively, and let the three of them taste it separately.

Angela didn't care, she squinted a little, and nodded again and again: "It's delicious, much better than the maple sugar I used to eat, the taste is very soft, and it's not greasy at all." ”

Orda is a jewelry designer, but this is the earl's reward, so naturally he has to taste it carefully, and after tasting it, it is indeed delicious, and he can't say what is good, but he just nodded again and again: "Yes, very good." ”

Finally, there was Lucinda, the woman with an elegant posture, tasted it with the tip of her tongue, and then closed her mouth to taste it, and after a long while, she opened her eyes and sighed: "This is simply a work of art." After tasting this, the other maple syrups are no longer in the mouth. You have made my tongue even more critical, Lord Earl. ”

This woman is worthy of being in the aristocratic circle of the mixed capital, her eyes are so slanted, she sighs, and she is elegant and charming to the bones, which provokes Orda and Jaime to look sideways, but Angela quietly purses her lips, and then carefully adjusts her more and more casual sitting posture recently.

Rollin laughed, ignoring Lucinda's vague teasing, knowing in his heart that if he nodded, the woman would climb into his bed at night. Being able to spend the night with a legendary figure who was knighted by force would greatly benefit her reputation, and she wished for it.

However, Rollin was not interested in courtesans, and he turned to Alda and said, "Master, as Lady Lucinda said, this is a work of art. The artwork should be equipped with a container worthy of its value, reflecting the jade-like luster of the maple sugar in the greatest way. As I said in my letter, you don't have to worry about the cost when you design this container, just strive for perfection. ”

Orda was prepared and nodded, "That's no problem. Actually, I have been working on the design since you asked for it half a month ago, and now I have three different finished products. I've brought it all today, so please take a look. ”

As he spoke, Alda took out three bottles, the bottles are very small, and it is estimated that they can only hold fifty milliliters of maple sugar, but they are really very beautiful, and this Orda really designs this crystal bottle as jewelry.

When Mrs. Lucinda saw the bottles, she could not help but admire: "How beautiful! Like the stars in the night. ”

Of course, Luo Lin didn't understand this, he just looked good-looking, and he didn't want to eliminate any of them, so he asked, "Master, what is the origin of these three bottles?" I mean, what inspires you? ”

Orda nodded, he had already prepared, knowing that the nobles liked this tone, and the more mysterious it was, the better.

He began to introduce them one by one, the first was the dream starry sky, the second was the heart of a girl, and the third was the moon of purity, and then this Orda began to talk nonsense, and each bottle was pulled for more than ten minutes.

During this time, Rollin seemed to listen attentively, and the expression on Lady Lucinda's face was very interested, but Angela kept yawning and lacking interest.

Jaime looked at the Earl, then at the elegant Lady Lucinda, and finally at the mouthful jewel designer Orda, and was momentarily bewildered, and he sensed the great gap between himself and the nobles, and he listened attentively, ready to learn.

After speaking for more than half an hour, Rollin nodded his head and said, "Very good." All three designs are perfect, but I can only choose one. Which one do you think is better, Lady Lucinda? ”

"Oh, it's my pleasure to give my opinion, Lord Earl. All three bottles are perfect, if I had to choose one, I would choose Girl's Heart, it reminds me of the years when I was younger. ”

"Well, when you say that, I feel a little nostalgic. Then a girl's heart. Luo Lin nodded, he intended to make this purified maple sugar a luxury item in the aristocratic circle, the main consumer of luxury goods has always been those boring aristocratic women, and those aristocratic young people who love them will definitely spend a lot of money to please their sweethearts.

Why? Because love is priceless, hehehe~

Eventually, Rollin bought the Maiden's Heart for a whopping 5,000 gold coins, and then gave the first batch of the most memorable Maiden's Heart, a total of fifty bottles, ten of which were given as gifts to Lady Lucinda from the Lion City, and the other forty bottles were asked to be given to Archduke Lehman.

Lady Lucinda was naturally extremely grateful, and said that she must let the girls of Fire Lion City know about the existence of this treasure.

The Earl was so pleased that he generously gave Lady Lucinda an expensive carriage with a gift of three thousand gold coins, and personally put her in the carriage.

Gracefully, Lady Lucinda left a grateful kiss on the face of the noble Earl, and returned to the Lion City with fifty bottles of Maiden's Heart.

Rollin's series of money-throwing actions, Angela looked at it with disdain, Jaime smacked his tongue, and Johnny sighed secretly, extremely worried in his heart, although the lord is an earl and has a lot of money, he can't be so extravagant.

This soon spread among the high society of Maple Leaf County, and the nobles and celebrities secretly smacked the wealth of the Earl of Lorraine, and at the same time smacked the price of the so-called girl's heart, a small bottle, fifty milliliters, no two prices, fifty gold coins!

Yes, fifty gold coins! A price that makes the aristocracy a little fleshy. However, when he heard that Grand Duke Lehman of Fire Lion City had received it, he was very happy and gave it to his wife and daughter as gifts. The Grand Duchess was so happy that many ministers would be able to see the smile of the noble lady for days to come.

Marquis so-and-so also bought ten bottles and gave them to his lover to win favor. Someone takes a girl's heart as a gift, and is invincible in the love field, and the girls like this thing, and they like this tune.

In the first month, the girl's heart created by Luo Lin sold a thousand bottles and received 50,000 gold coins, as for the cost...... No one knows the true cost of a bottle of a girl's heart, as the processes are separated, but Jaime, as the head of production, knows that a liter of pure maple sugar costs fifty gold coins, but it can fill twenty bottles of a girl's heart. And the Count gave him a profit of 900 gold coins, which was two percent of the net profit.

Jaime knew that Lord Earl was making a lot of money, but he would not say, to others, he would only say, that the preparation of pure maple sugar was very complicated and very expensive.

There is another person who probably knows the trick in this, and that is Angela.

"Rollin, you're robbing money!" That's what she said to Rollin.

"So what? Angela, I'm not forcing anyone to buy it. Rollin smiled.

In the second month, the sales of the girl's heart entered a plateau, selling 800 bottles, but Rollin launched a new product, called 'Tears of Flowers', and incidentally asked a famous bard to make up a tear-jerking story, which caused the aristocratic girls to shed tears, and then gave generously.

In the end, Tears of Flowers sold two thousand bottles.......

In the third and fourth months, there were new products, and the people of the principality began to get used to the storage of purified maple sugar, and used it as a weapon to put on a fan, but the popularity also decreased, and Luo Lin's income from purified maple sugar began to stabilize, and the profit remained around 50,000 gold coins per month.

This was enough, and by the beginning of the fourth month, the total profit from Rollin's pocket had reached 300,000 gold coins, plus the 200,000 he had brought out from the Primo family, which was 500,000 gold coins.

It's a great asset.

What's more, in the past few months, everyone knows that Count Rollin has made a lot of money, and his prestige in the territory has been completely established. It can be seen in the change of the butler Jonny.

Now, he never doubted Rollin's words, and when he spoke to others, he would say: My lord, and he must say it with his head held high, with a look of honor.

With money and prestige, Luo Lin had confidence in his heart and began to take the second step.

Because the territory was affected by the disaster last year, the grain production was greatly reduced, so Luo Lin began to issue a decree to buy grain in other provinces in the name of the earl, and then sell it at a low price, and at the same time directly exempt from tax for three years.

This step is very simple, just put pen to paper, write a decree and it's done.

As a result, the people were grateful to Dade and sincerely supported it.

At this time, another two months had passed, a total of half a year, Luo Lin took two steps, subdued the hearts of the people in the territory, and truly sat firmly in the position of earl.

During this period, Vianna came a total of three times, each time for a secret tryst, and left the next morning, as before, she always kept the last step, and could only say that she slightly relieved the pain of Rollin's lovesickness.

During this time, the secret connection between his county and the island of Fix had been established and perfected, and whatever news the two sides had, with the help of a small thing called 'Little Spirit Dragon' provided by Vianna, it would only take three hours for the other party to know.

At this time, we can take the third step and reorganize the army.

Although the earl can only have a quota of 1,000 warriors and 200 knights, it is not okay to be as lax as in the past, Rollin wants to ensure that every one of his warriors is an absolute elite!

His army is a large group of waste who eat military salaries, but it cannot be cut out of thin air, because everyone in the army has a relationship behind them, and it will be cut suddenly, which will make people panic and is not conducive to the stability of the territory.

So Rollin needed a reason that no one could refute.

Rollin was very lucky, and after another month, there was an urgent report from the north of Maple County, a small team of frost giants crossed the Godlin Mountains and infested the village, and three villages have been destroyed so far, but fortunately they were warned, and the damage was not large.

When Rollin heard this, he immediately ordered the army to be reorganized, and three days later, he personally led the army, a total of 1,100 people, to the north to defeat the frost giants.

At this time, Angela has practiced the fifth move, the initial first move, she has been able to exert the power of dripping water twenty percent, and now she has encountered a bottleneck, she wants to experience the real battle, and asks to follow, Rollin thinks she can keep her safe, so she agrees.

So, the army marched north. R1152
