"Terraced ......"

Victor nodded and explained: "The hills here are basically mounds, no more than 1,200 meters high, with a strong water storage capacity, and the soil is also fertile, as evidenced by the dense vegetation on the hills. I must have heard of the fact that I opened up terraces and planted prickly kidney beans. I plan to build a large cistern on the top of the hill with green bricks to collect rainwater so that I can grow all kinds of crops in the terraces, including wheat, rye, beans, vegetables, fruit trees, flax, herbs, sweet potatoes, alfalfa, and so on. ”

Viscount Fred asked, "How many terraces can be carved out of a hill?"

"Hundreds of acres, thousands of acres. We can develop at least 700,000 acres of terraced fields. Victor smiled and said, "Of course, terraces are different from ordinary arable land, it requires more farmers. ”

The lords gasped and couldn't help but talk. They were completely attracted by the prospect of terraces, ignoring the question of increasing manpower.

"700,000 acres?!"

"Randall's territory is less than 10,000 square kilometers, and my territory and Audair's territory are 20,000 square kilometers, so wouldn't I be able to get an extra million acres of arable land?"

"It's terraces, not arable land. The Earl of Turlandon first corrected Viscount Fred's statement, and then asked kindly: "Victor, after building a cistern, can you plant anything in the terraces?"

Victor nodded and said, "Of course, if you want to save some effort, you can plant some fruit trees, vegetables, pastures, purple cane, or sweet potatoes and other cash crops that are easy to take care of." I recommend that you grow oilwood, and you can burn green bricks without fuel. Although the dark forest is rich in charcoal, it is transported thousands of miles to the north, and the procurement cost is too high. ”

Viscount Fred asked tentatively, "Victor, how much oil wood do you think is more appropriate?" ”

"The more the merrier. Victor said indifferently: "Randall is going to plant 400,000 acres of oil wood." ”

"That's a lot!, it's not easy to sell...... Viscount Hanas muttered.

The Duke of York waved his hand and said, "That was before. In the future, oil wood will be in short supply!"

"Don't you realize? Times are different. The fat duke looked around and said in high spirits: "The development of new agriculture and animal husbandry can feed more people, but it also requires more manpower. In the past, a 7,000-square-kilometer viscount could accommodate more than 60,000 people, but now even if they don't have large-scale water conservancy projects, they can accommodate more than 200,000 people after adopting new farming and animal husbandry. If so many people still live in civil huts, how many trees in the territory are enough for them to cut down? ”

"It's a pity...... We invented giant brick kilns and didn't make any money. The Duke of York said with a look of regret: "In order to sustain the strategy of using bricks to raise canals, we have to sell the bricks at a low price, but even so, we will still lose money." I have roughly calculated that within 100 kilometers, the sale of green bricks can achieve a small profit, within 200 kilometers, no loss or profit, within 300 kilometers, can only be sold at a loss, more than 300 kilometers, green bricks will be unattended. Therefore, we had to hand over the construction technology of the giant brick kiln to the surrounding lords within 7 years in exchange for their support. They don't need to build large water projects, and giant brick kilns can bring them considerable profits and influence. ”

Count Turlandon smiled and said, "Embiter, you will never let go of any opportunity to make money, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

"Uncle knows my temper best. The Duke of York raised his head and drank the wine from the cup, and said contentedly: "There is no difference in the function of the giant brick kiln, but the skilled craftsmen and stewards are more important. Hanas was willing to pay for the craftsmen of the Randall family, and I think other lords would make the same choice. We can send people to help the lords run the giant brick kiln, and then collect their remuneration at 20% of the sales revenue of the giant brick kiln, for a total of three years. By the way, they also need fuel, and the oilwood we grow will sell for a good price. ”

"Lord Duke, did you just say 'we'?" Audair keenly grasped the point.

"That's right. Embiter put down his glass and said with a shy stomach, "I will allow you to participate in this big business, who wants to join?"

The lords' eyes flickered, no one spoke, and the living room fell silent, and after a moment, Trisley's brother, Viscount Gilda, asked softly, "My lord, what is the way to participate together?"

"Invest in the house. The Duke of York said, "Some freeman traders do not have enough capital, so they will join forces to do business, and then distribute the profits according to the proportion of capital contribution." Although they are all inferior people, I think the method of doing business in partnership is worth emulating. I'm going to set up a business house to take care of the giant brick kiln and infrastructure construction, and distribute the profits according to the proportion of capital contribution......"

Viscount Fred chuckled lightly and said, "Brother, isn't this what you often call unified purchasing?"

"You don't have to participate. Caterina handed the Duke of York a full glass and said, "Skilled brickmakers and stewards can produce at least 1,500,000 bricks a month." If you train your own craftsmen, it will take two years to reach the same level, and before that, the giant brick kilns produced an average of 700,000 bricks per month. The production capacity of giant brick kilns not only affects the sales profit of green bricks, but also the progress of infrastructure construction, including canals, houses, roads, bridges, and terraces. With that, she turned to Viscount Hanas and said, "I can lend you someone on the condition that it is 20% of the sales revenue of the giant brick kiln for three years." Do you agree?"

"It's a good deal, and I certainly agree. Hanas said with his hands outstretched.

"No lord would refuse this deal, would they?" Caterina raised an eyebrow, "Think about it, how much money can our Chamber of Commerce make and how much influence it will have when the lords of Sassan, Dodor, Neville, El, Seuss, and Borui build giant brick kilns?"

"Now, who wants to join in?"

Everyone was thrilled to hear this, and Viscount Gilis asked, "How can we guarantee that the lords will abide by the agreement, we can't send troops to protect the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, right?"

The Duke of York laughed and said, "It's very simple, hold a notarization before God." ”

Everyone's eyes were on Victor. Only Viscount Randall will hold a notarization before God again and again.

Victor said calmly: "That's right, the joint-stock chamber of commerce was jointly conceived by me and Lord Embiter. Whether you participate or not, I have a 20% stake. ”

"Joint-stock system?" asked Mrs. Audrey, puzzled.

"The shares of the Chamber of Commerce are delineated according to the proportion of the partners' capital contributions, and the higher the shares, the higher the profits distributed. The Chamber of Commerce holds a meeting of partners once a year to decide on major affairs of the Chamber of Commerce by a show of hands in accordance with the principle that the minority shares are subordinate to the majority of shares. Victor explained.

The Earl of Turlandon muttered, "It's just a brick business?"

"Not necessarily. The scope of business of the Chamber of Commerce is determined by the meeting of partners. Victor smiled and said seriously: "I want to make two points, first, the joint-stock chamber of commerce does not interfere in the internal affairs of the territory, but only does business. Second, this is my personal meaning and has nothing to do with Sylvia. ”

Hearing that Sylvia was neutral, the lords were visibly relieved. Embiter looked left and right, shook his head and said: "The Chamber of Commerce needs the capital of 100,000 gold soles, divided into 10,000 shares, 10 gold soles per share, Victor accounts for 2,000 shares, I account for 4,000 shares, and the remaining 4,000 shares are distributed by everyone." Alas, Victor was going to have 5,100 shares on his own, but I persuaded him to get everyone involved. If no one buys a stake, that's great, I'll take all your shares. ”

"How can this work?" Viscount Hanas hurriedly said, "If no one wants it, I'll take it all!"

"Hehe, don't even think about it!" Viscount Fred sneered, and said to Embiter: "Brother, 4,000 shares are enough for us to share, at least give us 5,100 hundred shares!"

"Don't beat my mind!" Victor waved his hand, "My 2,000 shares include 500 shares of Fenix, and her brother His Excellency Anthony not only designed the giant brick kiln, the Silver Moon Manor, but also helped me design the terraced aqueduct bridge, my craftsmen have mastered these construction techniques, and they will become the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"I provide funds, provide manpower, provide technology, and account for 2,000 shares, which is really not much!"

Embiter was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "What are you all looking at me for? I am a duke! As your lord, I want to occupy 4,000 shares, and I can't lose any less!"

Count Terrandon said nonchalantly: "Embiter, the shareholding system speaks according to shares, how can you use the identity of the sovereign to oppress people......"

Katerina spoke: "That's good, we keep 3,100 shares, Victor has 2,000 shares, and the remaining 4,900 shares will be distributed by everyone." ”

Audrey stroked the rim of the glass and said pointedly, "Caterina, these 100 shares are not trivial......

"What do you mean, Audrey?" said Caterina, looking coldly at Viscountess Fred.

"I think it's better to ask Lady Sylvia to come to arbitrate. ”

Audair stared into Caterina's eyes without flinching, and the two eyes collided as if sparks were splattering.

Victor smiled silently, secretly stealing fun. He wants to drag the York family onto the ship of the Golden Regiment, and Caterina and Embiter want to expand their influence through the joint-stock chamber of commerce, and the two sides hit it off, which is why today's verbal sword.

The birth of joint-stock chambers of commerce may seem simple, but when it comes to politics, it becomes very complicated. I don't care how you fight for shares, as long as you taste the sweetness and drive you off the boat with a whip, you will not leave. And the joint-stock construction company is only a part of the golden group, it will eventually embark on the road of cross-border trade... Victor thought triumphantly.

Just when everyone was fighting for shares, Sophia suddenly said: "I'm very interested in this joint-stock association, can you let me buy some shares?"

Audair was stunned for a moment, took Sophia's hand, and said with a coquettish smile: "Dear cousin, the Randall family already has 2,000 shares, there is no need for you to compete with us for the remaining shares." ”

Victor chuckled and said, "Honey, I can transfer 500 shares to you, 50 gold soles per share,......"

"Deal!" Sophia's eyes lit up and she said without hesitation.

"Can the shares still be transferred?" said Viscount Hanas dumbfounded. Sophia's arrogance stunned him.

Sophia looked forward to it and said, "Who else is willing to transfer the shares to me, I will pay 50 gold soles per share......"

"The golden kite wine made from purple cane is really good. ”

"Yes, although the vintage is a little worse, it has a mellow and soft taste, and it is a top wine. ”

The lords raised their glasses, and Sophia couldn't help but be angry. At this moment, Nicole, dressed in a white robe, walked up to Victor and said with a smile: "My dear, I helped you select twenty noble attendants, and Alice has already taken them to meet Randall first." She didn't even look at Sophia, but her powerful aura was undoubtedly demonstrating to Viscountess Randall.

Sophia lowered her head and smiled lightly, taking the wine glass from Victor's hand, the green water element brilliance flowed, and a white frost mist rose from the wine glass.

"Honey, when it's hot, it's more comfortable to drink a little ice wine. Sophia handed the glass to Victor and said tenderly.

"Hmph! what's the big deal. I'll be promoted to Silver Knight soon. Nicole pursed her lips and stared at Victor angrily.

Victor's scalp was numb, and he couldn't take Sophia's wine glass, and he didn't take it. Female knights have extraordinary strength, they are not attached to men, they are easily not jealous, and if they are jealous, no one can stop them.

Sophia put down her glass, turned her head and said, "Nicole, we should talk." ”

"You do need to talk, but not now. ”

Sylvia walked into the living room, shining like a ray of sunshine.

"The envoys of the kingdoms are coming soon, and the Paladin Constantine of the Inquisition has something important to tell us. ”

"About wizards, barbarians, and Ant-Man, and the Assyrian Empire that was destroyed by Ant-Man. ”
