Chapter 488: Harvest (Part II)
"Hehe, sir. This year, everyone enjoys the scenery, "Look, it's another harvest year, and the women are saying how good you are, my lord," said the coachman in front of him with a smile.
"Oh? ”
"Since our lord and concubine became an adult, in the past two years, the tax has been lighter than before and there have been several bumper harvests, which add up, not only can I have enough food, but also some surplus food, my eldest son also married a woman early, and after a few years, the younger one also married a woman, and the whole family will be more lively. The driver in front of him said with a smile.
Among the people who have always been close to the leader, there is no shortage of coachmen, personal attendants and the like, and this world is no exception, Romon's exclusive chauffeur is this person, who meets every day, and this person is not as restrained as the ordinary people who see Romon.
In addition, this person was also a warrior who had cultivated to the third-level level when he was young, and his body and bones were good. is generous and enthusiastic, and has something to say to Romong.
Of course, this is only the first generation, the next generation of grooms. That is, the sons of this man must undergo vocational education and later become hereditary coachmen. The rules are different again.
"If the people themselves had not worked hard, there would have been no such good harvest. Romon said in a good mood.
Soon the fields in Rock Town were transformed. Romon commanded: "Go to the small mining town." ”
"Yes"
The carriage turned around and headed towards the small mining town, which had been upgraded from a village to a town.
The scale of the small mining town is larger than in previous years, and the city wall has been rebuilt, not only taller and thicker, but also expanded a lot. This makes the area of this town larger, and the construction inside is even more outstanding, and the current mayor of the small mining town is a former subordinate of Romon, the Knight of Haivawi.
As a knight and the captain of a well-known adventuring team, this man in his thirties has management skills and combat skills that ordinary people do not have. It was only fitting that he would be in charge of the small mining town.
When Romon arrived in a horse-drawn carriage to the small mining town. Haivawi was personally directing the harvest, and his short clothes were covered with a lot of dirt. But he didn't care, and talked and laughed with some elders, which fully showed the heroic character of an adventurer.
In front of them, the second farmland is being harvested. A large amount of golden wheat has been harvested, and it is now certain that this year will be another great harvest!
"When the harvest is over, I'll invite everyone to drink! Celebrate!" Havawi was in a particularly happy mood as he watched the busy scene, and he exclaimed, fulfilling the responsibilities of a mayor who had grown up as an adventurer!
"Good!"
"Hurry up, everyone!"
"It's nice to have a drink to drink!"
All the peasants cheered, and their work became more energetic.
"Mayor Haivawi, you're being looked for. Then one of the attendants came on horseback, and whispered in front of Haivawi.
Haivawi recognized that it was the attendant of the Viscount's Mansion in Rock Town, and when he looked a little farther away, there was an ordinary-looking carriage parked, and a few attendants followed in front of the car, so he knew who was coming.
"Yes, I see, it's over. After explaining a few words to the agricultural principals, Haivawi walked towards the carriage, and when he came to it, he saw the curtain of the carriage lifted, and Romon sat in it and smiled: "Come in and say." ”
"Yes, sir. Listening to Rommon's words, Haivawi did not twist, and walked directly and got into the carriage. From the outside, the carriage looks very ordinary. Inside, it was very luxurious and spacey, and Haivawi sat with him, drinking juice and talking about things, not crowded at all.
Romon came to inspect the harvest, and Haivawi told Romon about the autumn harvest in the small mining town.
Hearing this, Luo Meng nodded repeatedly: "Knight Haivawi." You're doing a good job, and I just heard that you're going to invite the peasants to drink, and you're going to get these things done. I also invite you principals to drink. ”
"Then thank you, sir!" Hatavi's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he was drinking the good wines that Romon had treasured himself.
He knows that Luo Meng, who has a special winemaking technique, has a very good skill in winemaking, and his family treasures a lot of fine wine, which is rarely taken out in normal times, but this time he is willing to take it out. The thought of being able to taste a good wine made Haivavi, who had been a heroic adventurer, very happy.
Of course, if you dig deeper, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with your lord when you drink.
After leaving the small mining town, Romon rode in a horse-drawn carriage. I came to the forest house, which is not very far from the small mining town.
Dirt between the small mining town and the forest house. All belong to Romon and are part of the Tertashaw Territory, such a large area of land, all golden wheat fields, many farmers are harvesting in the field, those wheat fields that have not yet been harvested, under the blowing of the breeze, gently swaying, like a fluctuating golden ocean.
Looking at the busy but happy peasants, Romon sat in the carriage and seemed to have the same sense of happiness and joy as they sat in the carriage.
After that, he stayed at the Forest House for a while. There, a large number of olive trees are ripe and the olives are in good season.
"Your Excellency, you are here. "In the midst of the collection of ripe olives, an official was cautiously directing and turned around. Seeing that his lord actually appeared, he was suddenly a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, I'll just take a casual look, you get busy with you first. Romon smiled at the officer.
"Yes, sir. ”
Seeing that Romon was calm, the officer continued to direct the crowd to collect olives. Watching the baskets of fruits being filled and carried away, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.
When the official retired to rest, Romon smiled and asked, "How is the olive harvest here? How much oil can be squeezed?"
"My lord, there are statistics. The official replied respectfully that he was in charge of the olive grove and therefore had a record.
"Oh? "Romon is on the side
Toubu sat down. The officer was also greeted by him. I sat down next to Ren ※
Seeing that Luo Meng wanted to know the statistics on this aspect, he immediately said the number he knew: "My lord, last year, the olive grove was fruitful, and this year the harvest officially began, each mu of olives can produce 84 kilograms of fruit, and every 100 kilograms of fruit can produce 10,000 kilograms of virgin oil, therefore, two dry acres can produce 10,000 kilograms of oil." ”
"Burn 10,000 kilograms of olive oil!" Hearing such an astonishing figure, although Romon had long known that the olive harvest would be good, he was still shocked, and asked: "Can the olive oil workshop be in time?"
"My lord, I've been working day and night, and I guess it can still work. ”
"Well, in a small mining village, build two olive oil workshops. Romon said instructively.
"Yes, sir!"
Ten thousand kilograms of virgin olive oil, converted into essential oils, is also a secret horse has a blade of ten thousand kilograms, which is at least worth ten thousand silver coins, and I can't help but be overjoyed, and encourage this, the official said a few words, and Luo Meng is ready to rush to Treasure Island to watch.
There are also 2,000 acres of olive trees on Treasure Island, but they have to wait five or six years before they can bear fruit.
It's just that farmland and crystal fruit can be harvested. Thinking of this, Romon immediately took the car back to Rock Town, handed over these things on the territory to Nick, and rushed to Treasure Island in a boat.
"Huh?" At this time, he realized that the port area of the island had become very prosperous, and a large number of shops had opened here.
Thinking of the investment notice posted some time ago, Luo Meng sneered, knowing that this was the decree that had taken effect, a large number of businessmen poured into the territory, thinking back to the few days ago, Nick told him about the financial relaxation, he still remembered the pressure caused by this matter, and suddenly dissipated a lot.
Along the way, caravans, wagons and wagons traveled to and from the port and the fields.
The influx of merchants not only brought prosperity to the scene, but also prompted many freemen and merchants to come to the island and the town of Yuanfan to buy houses and settle down and set up shops. The population of the territory suddenly increased, and it reached an unprecedented prosperity.
In the same way, the farmland is full of harvesters. The people who work here are all refugees from the Devil's Plague, who used to live in dire straits, until they came to the island, and then enjoyed a peaceful life.
Looking at the bountiful harvest on the island, they know. This year will be a year of abundance, and suddenly the love for the lord has risen to a new level.
"Your Lord!" they saluted when they saw Romon in turn.
Romon also waved his hand.
Rushed to the harvest area of the crystal fruit.
According to experience, high-grade fruits are popular with nobles and wealthy people, and are an indispensable decoration for aristocratic social occasions.
The color of the crystal fruit is like crystal, the taste is sweet and cool, as long as it is sold, there is no fear of none
Road.
Of course, there are also problems with crystal fruit, the biggest problem is that the production period is limited and it is not easy to preserve. It must be stored under strict conditions to last longer.
Seeing that the crystal fruits were plucked, Luo Meng instructed and said, "Pack them all." Send it to the lord's warehouse, where there is a special natural insurance array. ”
"Yes, sir!" replied the man.
This is actually a false appearance, there is indeed a small natural magic circle there, but the power consumed is too great, and it must be maintained by the druid from time to time, Luo Meng will not be open for a long time, and when he gets there, he will receive the space of Shennongjiao, where it will not deteriorate.
A few days later, all the olive oil on the island had been squeezed, and the price of the golden liquid was about 10,000 silver coins, even at the lowest price in the market.
Everything was as Romon expected, this batch of gold liquid. It was immediately sought after by merchants, and within a week, half of it was sold.
Moreover, 30 boxes of crystal fruit sold out quickly, and merchants did not mind selling face and tasting this new fresh fruit when they bought olive oil.
As a result, as soon as you taste it, it is a big hit. For the aristocracy and the wealthy, the taste was fresh and luscious.
As a result, a batch of orders came down, and 300 boxes of crystal fruits were sold.
There are still three hundred boxes left, and Romon doesn't mind, after all, the first sale, next year will be better.
In fact, there are many fruits in Shennongjiao, but it is impossible for Luo Meng to take them out, the reason is very simple. Although this crystal fruit has not appeared before, and the quality has been improved through Shennongjiao, there is no doubt that it is a species in this world, and it can be found out as soon as you check it.
And fruits that are produced out of thin air are very troublesome.
After going back, I prepared to go to the royal capital.
"My lord, these are 100 jars of olive oil, all of them sealed in fine jars, and 10 kilograms of oil per jar. An official loaded a hundred jars of olive oil into a wagon and reported it to Romon that he said, "And ten boxes of crystal fruits." ”
"Good work, go down. Romon said.
"Yes"
After the other party went down, Romon stood on the top of the steps, staring at the white clouds floating in the sky for a moment.
This hundred jars of olive oil was a gift he prepared for the king, and he would take it to the royal capital in a few days. Because it was a gift to the king, the jar was chosen beautifully and generously.
Olive oil is precious, and it doesn't look shabby as a gift, and ten boxes of crystal fruit come with it.
Romon turned around just in time to see Eleni approaching. Gently hugged her: "Why did you come out?" ”
"You're going to be away in a few days, and I want to stay with you a little longer. Alieni whispered: "I am also very happy to see the development of the territory getting better and better, you can go out with confidence, I will help you take care of your home." ”
Six months pregnant, she has added a bit of maternal color, she said with a smile.
There are wives like that. What more could you ask for?
Romon hugged her, thinking secretly, for a while. Silence.
