Shen Yan experienced an incident when he was in elementary school, "his ex-girlfriend moved and didn't want to break up, and he wanted to take his ex-boyfriend away with a knife".

At that time, Shen Yan looked confused when he was put on his neck with a pencil knife, he didn't understand why everyone was obviously good friends, why did a good farewell turn into a robbery?

That incident taught him a truth, that is-even if you don't let her like you, don't let her hate you, women's hatred is terrible. Because when carried away by hatred, men are called "irrational" and women are called "irrational...... The subtleties in between are self-conscious.

Under this guiding principle, since the goal has been achieved, the next step is naturally to "eliminate the hatred of the Duchess towards me", and it seems that the results are very high!

It's cheap to buy flowers and hire people, and the styling is copied from the Internet...... It's really a model of "doing more with less".

In fact, the money spent is far less than imagined - because as long as Shen Yan says the incantation "This is all to please Her Majesty Lady Anna Henrietta" - many things will go surprisingly smoothly!

It's like contracting the square in front of the palace, so that the flower shop is closed the next day, etc., all at the cost of one crown! Because when you say "no", you are not rejecting me standing in front of you, but the baroness of this principality.

As for the band that invited the bards, Shen Yan said at the time, "I have a way for you to perform in front of the nobility of the whole principality, and if you smash the performance, you will not be expelled", so the band paid him fifty crowns to get this opportunity.

In the end, the proposal was sold to a flower shop, and the naming rights were sold to another water shop (which is why they were so aggressive in changing the water)...... After all the planning was completed, Shen Yan's small wallet not only did not shrink, but miraculously swelled again.

Eat with your face, I am a warlock.

"Two choices, Rook and Dover...... When you choose White Raven Vineyard, you need to commit to renovating the main building and bringing this beautiful vineyard back to life; If Dover is chosen, then an additional 2,000 crowns will be compensated to the state treasury. And to ensure that production resumes as soon as possible, many farmers rely on working in that vineyard to make a living. ”

After Lady Anna was in a happy mood, two "suitable" choices were placed in front of Shen Yan in one day.

And they are accompanied by quite detailed descriptions – of course, only about the merits of these two vineyards, and a little "vague" about why these estates went bankrupt, simply blaming it on the economic crisis.

Both vineyards had problems that needed to be solved: the Crow Vineyard was located near the main road close to the capital, and the dilapidated main houses affected the image of the principality; The Dover vineyards went bankrupt, leaving a large number of farmers unemployed and running out of food.

Shen Yan compared it before and after......

The Raven's Vineyard, which is the place where the centenarian Geralt retires.

The advantage of this estate is its proximity to the city of Bowland and its dense population. The vineyard is located at the end of the Sansredo Valley, which is known for producing high-quality grapes suitable for winemaking, such as the famous East no Higashi, Pomino and Fiorano roses.

The disadvantage is that the area where grapes can be grown is limited, and there is no possibility of expanding into the surroundings. And after the bankruptcy of the estate, most of the peasants went to Bowland City to make a living, and there were less than thirty peasants left here, and it took a long time to resume production.

The Dover vineyard is located on the north bank of the Yaluga River, across the lake from the city of Boukland, near the port of Floviv.

The Dover vineyard has the advantage of being several times the size of the crow and the large wasteland nearby, which has the potential to become a large vineyard. And there are nearly 200 skilled farmers waiting to start work, and the manpower is sufficient!

The disadvantage is that it is not in the traditional wine-making area, the brand of the wine is not recognized, and there are many wild monsters around......

"The most important thing is that I don't know if you, or the former owner of the manor, are hiding the most important piece of information!"

Shen Yan knocked on the table and said dissatisfiedly, "There is a monster lair hidden under this manor, why don't you talk about it?" There are at least 20 Qi Qi Demons hidden in there, and maybe a female demon! That's the real reason why the manor went bankrupt - because her cellar is connected to the lair of the Qiqi Demon! I don't know what you're going to do, clean it up yourself or ask the demon hunters to come? If you want me to do this, I can agree and buy the vineyard outright, but I won't pay any extra money for it. ”

Don't ask me how I know, will I tell you about this side quest in the game?

Besides, it is also for the good of that nobleman, if he buys this vineyard, in the future his wife will give him a forgiveness hat.

*****

After some comparison, Shen Yan decided to buy the Dover vineyard instead of the white crow.

Although he has more affection for the white crow, it is still too cruel to rob other people's empty nesters of the only retirement housing...... Besides, the Crow Vineyard is nothing but location.

The Dover vineyard is large enough, with quarries and forests nearby, and plenty of building materials – the Shen Yan made it easy to rebuild a house for the dimensionalization.

There are also many monster lairs nearby, which are living alchemy materials...... As long as the roots continue to be produced, it can be produced all the time, and it is better to live in a long stream. There is also the underground Qiqi Demon Lair, after buying it...... That's my family's Qi Qi Demon!

The mother demon must be protected, and no one is allowed to touch the eggs of Qi Qi Demon! In the future, this will be the assembly line of my alchemy factory, specializing in the production of the "Qi Qi Demon" series of potions...... Why can I find a girlfriend? Just because I believe that "one point and two points, save up and get married", family men must know how to be careful with their budgets.

The tax officials of the principality looked at each other, and one of them held out his hand to Shen Yan, "Let's make a deal." ”

Obviously, they know exactly what Dover is doing.

……

The process of taking over a vineyard is very complex, with only a third of the value of the land and the estate.

The second third was the documents that the officials forwarded to Shen Yan.

It is a detailed record of the rainfall of each vintage, changes in soil quality, several mature wine recipes developed by Dover Estate, and the sweetness of the various varieties of grapes grown in the soil. One of the most important things is to invite the evaluation of local wines left by those master tasters and winemakers! These are the essence of a vineyard.

100 years of winemaking, all the value here...... Without these documents, the Dover estate would have been a piece of land.

That's why Nilfgaard couldn't occupy Towcente - he couldn't get the wine recipe, and by occupying it, the empire was just an ordinary agricultural province.

And Emperor Ensir Enrith will go down in history as the "demon who destroyed 200 of the best wines"! The nobility of the empire also became increasingly dissatisfied with the emperor because they did not enjoy the best wines...... In Rome, a leader who cannot satisfy the supply of luxury goods is not a good leader, and who cares about an extra agricultural province in Rome?

The last third of the value is two full cases of wine – samples from the Dover vineyards that used to be stored by the state, which are truly original. Only by tasting this comparison can we truly restore the recipe - the last thing that comes to the mouth is the taste of wine, which cannot be described by the recipe.

Shen Yan admired this system so much that he threw himself to the ground, which was really amazing......

When the crisis comes, whether you smash the Principality's cellar or burn the recipe, you can make the value of the Principality plummet! Even if we want to rebuild in the future, who better to do it than this group of wine experts? The person who designed this set in the first place made a small principality so delicate and complex, I'm afraid it's really not an ordinary person.

In the end, there were more than 70 households, a total of 200 peasant lists, which was a gift.

Shen Yan's document was signed softly, and the handover procedures of the vineyard were officially completed.

*****

"By the way, I remember making a small request to Your Majesty at the end, I don't know ......" Shen Yan asked casually.

The tax collectors looked at each other again with a look of helplessness, but finally one of them replied, "You go and take over the Dover vineyard first, and in three days, Mr. Barnabas Basso Futi will officially become the steward of you and the Dover vineyard after handing over the work of the Rook Vineyard." ”

They really don't understand, why is this one eyeing the crow vineyard? Places want it, and people want it...... If I can let him buy two, I'm afraid he will buy the crow vineyard together.

Shen Yan finally couldn't hold back and dug into Geralt's corner.

The house of the widowed and elderly can be left behind, but the housekeeper should not think about it......
