Chapter 40 Itinerary Formulation

"I'm sorry, sir, but politeness has nothing to do with me, I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a Jew. ”

"You're really not afraid of death, there are not only our people here, but also the servants of the Ruger family, if you are heard, you will be finished. "There's really nothing Jonas can do about Doron, this guy is simply brazenly flaunting his Jewishness.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Master, this is your travel route the day after tomorrow, can you take a look at what's wrong?" A piece of papyrus was handed to Jonas by Doron, which is a touch different from Chinese rice paper, thicker, like cardboard, but his roughness is more obvious, this kind of paper because the crack is relatively large, so the ink used on it is much thicker than the Chinese paper, Jonas held it in his hand, and felt a smell of plants mixed with ink.

"Shall we go to the Alpine suburbs first?" Jonas looked at the entire map, which clearly marked all the destinations of his trip, including the centers of the three administrative divisions, as well as the borders of the villages and territories around the line map with other people's territories, and the first of these major stops was the Alpine suburbs.

This made Jonas a little puzzled, because as far as she knew, there was nothing particularly important in this area, just a place to raise cattle and sheep, which could be said to be a completely uninhabited area, so she didn't understand that Doron regarded this area as his primary goal.

"Yes, our first stop is the Alpine mountains, where your most precious treasures, mountain goats and snow-capped pines are located. Doron was not puzzled by Jonas's doubts, in his opinion, a child like Jonas may have some knowledge of the survival rules of the aristocracy, but he must not know anything about agricultural production, so he did not let Jonas continue to ask, but continued to talk.

"The meat of the goat is firmer than that of other goats, and because it grows in colder places than the goats in the plains, the clothes made of his fur are much warmer than those made of other wool, and the price is naturally very high. Therefore, the batch of sheep left by Viscount Stark is very valuable.

The snow pine is a very good charcoal raw material, after they have been added, whenever they are burned at home, there will be a fragrance different from other charcoal, which is deeply loved by the surrounding nobles, so in winter, a large number of merchants from Genaya will come here to buy these snow pine from us, which is also very valuable.

And these two things that I have told you are also the reason why the Alps are able to become a borough independent of the town of Cangsong and the Eagle Castle, and its income is sometimes even higher than that of the Eagle Castle.

So I chose to arrange your first destination at Eagle Castle, sir, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Duolong said a lot of words in one breath, so that Jonas instantly had a certain degree of understanding of the vast mountain forest, no wonder he wanted to list that mountain area as his private property, it turned out that it was not a barren forest, but a treasure mountain, as the so-called people in the treasure mountain without knowing it, they are talking about themselves.

"Doron, thank you for telling me so much, but I still want to go to Eagle Castle first and see how the local people live?"

"As you said, the Alps are not an exaggeration to say that they are the breadbasket of our family, but after all, they are only wealth, and I don't know what other people would think about why I chose the suburbs between the Eagle Castle and the Alpine suburbs, but I think the people who live in the Eagle Castle must be uncomfortable in their hearts. “

"Doron, do you understand what I mean?"

After Jonas finished speaking, he put the papyrus in his hand on the table next to him, looked at Doron standing in front of him, and asked softly.

What Jonas said was indeed his own heart, but there was one point he actually deliberately concealed, the opinions of the people are important, but for him, repaying debts is even more important.

As Steward Doron said, the Alps are indeed a rich land, and almost no one can cultivate it for Jonas to have food and clothing, and even live a slightly wealthy life, but this money is a drop in the bucket for Jonas, who still has 3 million Reichsmarks to repay.

And he himself really didn't know anything about agriculture, he didn't even know how to plant the most basic rice, let alone what special grain could be grown, so even if he went to the Alpine administrative region, that is, to look around, to do ideological work for the local managers, there was no other way.

The Eagle Castle is different, the iron ore there is vital to Jonas, although it is sparsely populated and scarce, but it has a strategic weapon of iron, and if one or two ways to use it can be found, then there is a good chance that it can alleviate the burden of debt.

That's why Jonas wants to go to Eagle Castle first, of course, he doesn't tell Diron directly, people always have to have some little secrets, don't they?

Doron was visibly stunned by Jonas's words, he didn't expect a seven-year-old child to say such chivalrous words as the importance of the people more than his own wealth. At this moment, he really admired this child who was dozens of years younger than himself.

This guy's achievements will definitely surpass Sdarke, no, maybe surpass King Solomon.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Doron was now more and more curious about how many wake-up words could come out of the little guy's mouth.

"Well, I hope that during the whole journey, I can let the Knight Vig be my bodyguard, and then I will visit all the knights' estates one by one, is there a problem?" Jonas thought about it, and still eliminated the idea of gathering all the knights around, and chose to contact them one by one, which is the least dangerous for himself.

"Of course, sir. Doron replied respectfully, expressing his abilities. He is becoming more and more interested in Jonas as a new owner.

This is simply a natural aristocracy.

"In addition to that, last but not least, I want to know the most detailed information about the entire iron ore mine, including production, labor, and even the possibility of associated mines, before I reach Fort Eagle. You'll take care of the rest, Doron. Jonas solemnly said to Doron, and after getting Dolon's promise, he let the old butler leave, his body was really overwhelmed, and he wanted to sleep.

Jonas also got up and left the room, walked to his bedroom, looked at Leo's room first, and found that he was still sleeping, and there was an empty bowl on the table, Jonas knew that the little guy had already eaten, and his heart was relieved, and he closed the door gently, and Jonas returned to his room, ready to sleep.

Lying on the bed, blowing out the candle at the head of the bed, only a ray of moonlight spilled in a little bit through a hollow window, Jonas covered the quilt, looked at the ceiling above his head, and slowly fell asleep.

Night, quietly.
