Chapter 267: The Tide Will Rise (I)

In the afternoon of the next day, Silvermoon Manor.

The sky was blue, the white clouds were wandering, the pale yellow cattails were dancing in the wind, Judy was strolling on the lawn with Victor's arm, and it was a gust of wind that blew the long golden hair, but it could not dissipate the happiness and intoxication on the bright face, and the sweet spring love that could not be dissolved between the corners of the eyes and eyebrows.

The pale blue tight-fitting hunting suit outlines the mature and moving curves, and the black high-heeled leather boots make the radiant viscountess even more charming, and the fluttering hair brushes the tip of Victor's nose, the fragrance is the same, itching into his heart, he can't help but rub Judy's thin waist and plump buttocks.

The warmth of her lover's palm made Judy soften, and she enjoyed and rejoiced at Victor's intimacy, but she was content now.

"Is it pretty?"

Judy bit her red lip lightly, and poked out a slender and straight leg, and the slender calf under the high-heeled boots immediately stretched out a beautiful line, and Victor praised it sincerely: "Very beautiful! How can you have such boots?"

"These are the high-heeled boots invented by the eldest lady of the Chebman family. Now, ladies and ladies are vying to emulate the Gillian Knight. ”

"Really?"

Victor touched his nose. At the beginning, he saw the temperament of a modern professional woman in Gillian's body, and out of nostalgia, he prankfully prepared a pair of high-heeled boots for Gillian, but he didn't expect that high-heeled boots would be popular in the entire noble girl circle.

"Don't you think it's hard to have such a high heel?" Victor couldn't help but ask, seeing Judy stepping on the uneven lawn.

Judy shook her head lightly and said, "These high-heeled boots are truly a remarkable invention, they correct the proportions of the noble lady's body, make our body more erect, and walk with elegance and nobility." ”

"As for the hard work...... The high-heeled boots are specially designed for our knightly nobles, and those ordinary nobles will of course feel hard. ”

"Miss Chebman can go down in the history of the White Tower with this invention. ”

Judy sighed gratefully. Victor was dumbfounded when he heard this, he only knew that it was the European aristocrat who invented the high heels, but he didn't expect that this could also be linked to status.

Thinking about it, high-heeled shoes are not conducive to hurrying, ordinary women are busy and hardworking, it is impossible to work in high-heeled shoes, and aristocratic women have horse-drawn carriages to go in and out, thinking about how to show their nobility and charm all day long, they wear high heels, walk, naturally look sexy, confident and elegant.

The backgrounds of the two worlds are different, but the nature of the nobility is not different. Don't look at Judy's always delicate and weak appearance around Victor, she is actually a naturally awakened female trainee knight, and she can even kill brown bears.

Walking in high-heeled boots will not have much effect on female knights, but it can bring out the difference between female knights and ordinary noblewomen. Judy certainly raises about the design. It may not be long before all styles of heels will emerge, and Victor only hopes that this trend will not affect the judgment of female knights, and if they apply this high-heeled design to their combat boots and die in battle, it is really not his intention.

"Honey, don't fight in your heeled boots!" Victor admonished seriously.

Judy was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips and smiled, "How can I fight?" As she spoke, she offered a fragrant kiss to her lover as a sign of gratitude.

"Victor, I want to ask you for something. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Hmm. Judy left Victor's embrace, stroked her messy hair, and said, "Our Yeliu City is expanding, and we need a lot of green bricks. I hope you can keep the price of green bricks unchanged. ”

Judy was as beautiful as a flower, bright and moving, and her white jade neck still had Victor's kiss marks. At this time, in the face of his lover's soft words, Victor's heart was unfazed, and he said noncommittally: "Oh." ”

Just now they were close lovers, but when it came to green bricks, they became lords representing their respective families. Judy understood this, and she explained: "Recently, there has been an endless stream of caravans coming to Yehliu City, and many freedmen have followed the caravans into our Buryat territory to make a living. According to Father Jon, more than 29,000 freedmen gathered outside Yehliu City, and the guards at the border guard also reported that more than 500 people entered the family territory every day, and less than 200 left. ”

"Right now, it's not just the shops in Yehliu City that are in short supply, but also the shacks for the freedmen to live in. In addition, the large number of displaced people has brought many security problems. My staff believed that too many people should not be allowed to sit idle, and that they must be involved in the work, otherwise the interests of the family would be seriously damaged. ”

"Therefore, I am going to follow the plan of the royal capital of Blinor City, expand the outer city of Yeliu City, and build more shops and houses. However, I don't plan to adopt traditional civil engineering buildings, and all the shops and shacks are built of green bricks...... By the way, I'm also going to build a blue brick faΓ§ade in the outer city. ”

"This project requires a lot of green bricks. So ....."

Judy shook Victor's arm slightly, and pleaded in a coquettish voice: "Honey, I want all your green bricks! However, the price of green bricks can't go up, okay?"

Victor pondered for a moment and asked, "Green bricks are brittle, are you sure you want to use green bricks to build the city wall?"

"I also want to build walls out of limestone, but we don't have that much money. If a fence is built with iron oak, it will have to be replaced in a maximum of 15 years, and iron oak is more expensive than green bricks. As for the defensive power of the city walls......"

Judy smiled and said, "My dear, don't forget that the Buryat Territory has also been baptized by ant tides, and there are basically no monsters in the wild, and even if there are monsters, they will never dare to invade Wild Willow City." ”

Victor nodded and asked, "It also costs a lot of money to build the outer city with green bricks, can the Buryat family take it?"

"I can't take it out. ”

Judy shook her head and sighed again: "Actually, the main purpose of building the blue brick city wall is to manage the displaced people and prevent them from making trouble. I will build the outer city according to the taxes of Yeliu City. ”

Victor gave Judy a deep look, and this beautiful lover surprised and delighted him.

Surprisingly, Victor didn't expect that the viscountess, who has a weak temperament and doesn't care about political affairs, actually has such vision and courage.

The fertile farmland irrigated by the Yeliu River is the best asset of Bria Territory. Farming and animal husbandry have long been the mainstay of the Buryat family. The Buryat families were no different from most lord families in that they valued agriculture and pastoralism, hated the homeless, and entrusted trade to caravans. However, within a few months of his accession to power, Judi reversed the traditional ideas of the Buryat family and began to transform from an agricultural to a commercial one.

Taxes, rents for shops and warehouses, transit fees for displaced people, and profits from the services are the main revenues of the commercial collars. Obviously, the Buryatia family has already tasted the sweetness, and if they want to increase these incomes, they must ensure two things: a good business environment and good security.

The expansion of the outer city with green bricks can achieve these two purposes. The bricks are not strong enough, and that is relative to military defense. As a building material, shops made of green bricks are magnificent, beautiful, durable, and not easy to burn. Although the construction cost of a brick shop is higher than that of a civil hut, the rent is also higher. Moreover, not all homeless people do not have money, and the blue brick houses are for those who have money. As for the poor who have no money, they have gone to build the outer city, how can they get into trouble? The wages they earn will eventually go into the pockets of the Buryatia family.

If, just like that, Victor wouldn't be surprised, Judy had been trained by him for a while after all, and how to use the free people to make money was exactly what Victor told Judy. The crux of the matter is the blue brick wall.

It is not practical to build a wall with blue bricks, and the cost is considerable. Although the reason given by Judy is reasonable, the outer city does not need walls at all, and the Buryatia family cannot afford so much money, so they can only build it little by little.

With stable prices, huge usage, and slow construction progress, the intention of the Buryatia family is already obvious, and they want to get a piece of the green brick trade.

Assuming that Victor supports Judy's plan, the green bricks led by Randall will be supplied to Wild Willow City first, and other families can only find a way to buy green bricks from Wild Willow City, and the Buryat family can increase the price and thus obtain profits. Therefore, the construction of the blue brick city wall is just a pretense, and it is their purpose to sit on the ground and distribute fertilizer.

The Buryatia territory does not have many mineral and forest resources, which means that they do not have special products to sell, and the geographical environment that is well connected is not enough to ensure the sustainable development of the commercial territory. Judy urgently needs a special product to attract the caravans of various families to visit Wild Willow City for a long time, Victor is her man, and he is also the backer of the Buryat family, and the blue bricks led by Randall have become her only choice as a specialty of Wild Willow City.

As an emerging industry, green bricks have not been widely accepted, and Judy is optimistic about the market prospects of green bricks, and has taken out funds to help Victor promote green bricks and profit from them, which is understandable.

Whether or not Judy came up with this strategy, her ability to adopt it and subdue opposition is a testament to her skill and courage.

This little woman is more than just a vase! Well, I'm a good trainee.

Victor felt a little complacent, but also a little complacent.
