Chapter 194: Alice's Suggestion (Monthly Pass Update)

But strange as strange, Gervais is not a stingy person, he was ready to send some to Alice, but he only arrived in the morning, and he didn't have time to go to the convoy to pick them up, so he was delayed.

"yes, how's that, it tastes good!"

For wine, Gervais is full of confidence and pride, after all, he made this otherworldly version of wine with his childhood memories, and he is now a pioneer in this world, contributing to the aristocratic life of this world.

Alice didn't answer Gervais right away, but looked her husband up and down carefully, who had only met twice, and to be honest, Alice was really a little curious about Gervais now.

Originally, he was just the second son of a little baron, but he never played according to the routine, killing monsters, making ice, and now inventing wine that could almost create a money empire.

This made it difficult for Alice to associate these great things with the somewhat underwhelming Gervais in front of her.

You're going to say he's good, right? In the past, it was a waste of cultivation, although it has improved now, but what kind of fake unicorn, using a personal maid is a little out of tune.

If you want to say that it is not excellent, wine alone can make his reputation spread throughout the continent, and I heard that he also invented some gold oysters, although he has never eaten it, but Anna admires it so much, and can exchange this technology for gold coins, which is also a rare delicacy, which can completely prove a person's excellence.

"I heard you're going to sell these wines for 10 silver in a jug?"

Alice did not deny Gervais's question, and acquiesced in the deliciousness of the wine.

Of course, if it weren't for Gervais who angered her today, Alice wouldn't have been stingy with compliments, after all, the wine really made her a little intoxicated.

At noon, Lina brought Anna after.

Through questioning, Alice learns a lot about Gervais's actions in Stormlord from Anna.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Anna, because in Anna's cognition, Alice is the wife of her own adult, her own mistress, and when the wife asks about her husband, she should of course answer as a subordinate, there is no need to hide it, and these things are known to the whole castle.

Anna admires Gervais very much, and in the face of Alice's questions, she basically chooses the most brilliant and praiseworthy things for Gervais.

For example, making ice cream, inventing roasted oysters, and wine.

At first, Alice didn't believe that Gervais had invented wine, but at Anna's very certain insistence, Alice took Anna to the residence of Gervais's subordinates, took a pot of wine from the carriage, and after tasting it, she had to believe that Gervais had really invented a new wine.

This wine tastes many times better than beer, and the color of the wine is purple and noble, and the taste is sweet and rich, and when she tastes the wine for the first time, Alice knows that this is a product that is about to take the whole continent by storm.

"Yes, in order to make wine as accessible to as many people as possible and afford wine, I have priced it at 10 silver coins, so that I can make small profits and sell it quickly, and the cost of gold wine is not high, 10 silver coins, as long as the energy source continues to sell, I can rely on wine to develop the territory."

Gervais couldn't help but be a little serious when he saw Alice asking these questions.

Gervais guessed that since Alice specifically mentioned the price to herself, she must have some suggestion or opinion.

Alice was born into a great nobleman, and her vision is not comparable to the current Gervais, after all, Gervais was an ordinary person in his previous life, let alone in this life.

"You're right, but you're underestimating the wealth of the aristocracy and underestimating the value of wine!"

Alice really disagreed with Gervais's pricing, and bluntly pointed out Gervais's cognitive error.

"In this world, except for the church, the nobles control all the land and all the resources, I know that your father made your Gale family in trouble because of the purchase of the royal blue elf worm, but there are only a few examples like your father."

"The Gale family's hardship can actually be said to be due to your father's kindness."

"Your father's domain is a fertile part of the Earl of Jones, both the weather and the land and water are very suitable for farming, and the yield of crops is also very high, but your father did not raise taxes, which is the main reason why the Gale family is in a gold shortage."

"Did you know that there are three lords' domains around your father, who are as fertile as the Gaelic realms, but they live a better quality of life because they collect an extra layer of taxes than your father!"

As she spoke, Alice glanced at Gervais, and saw that Gervais looked at her with some surprise, so she continued: "Of course, I also admire your father's qualities, and I tell you this, not to ask you to go back and ask your father to raise taxes, but to tell you that nobles like your father are only a minority, and most of the nobles are very rich, they will never wronged themselves, even if the serfs are about to starve to death, they can still live a luxurious life." ”

"That's special, it turns out that I have eaten salted fish and ham for a month and the reason why I have my cheap dad."

After listening to Alice's words, it really ruined Gervais's three views, Gandalf turned out to be a lord who loved his people like a son, which was a little unexpected.

In fact, a big reason for Gervais's misunderstanding of nobility is because of the month he lived in Gandalf Castle.

Gervais didn't have a good time for a month, and then ran away to the remote Stormwind Territory, which made Gervais think that five out of ten of the little nobles in this world were not as rich as Gandalf, and that they would have to save up for years to buy something more expensive.

There is a provision for taxation in this world, that is, a minimum limit is set, which is also set up to prevent some noble lords from maliciously robbing serfs, after all, for lords, population is a vital resource, if there is no minimum, it is completely possible to use low taxes to attract serfs to come to seek refuge.

And Gandalf is using this minimum amount of taxes, although it is the minimum limit, but the tax is actually not small, just to say that with the land status of Gandalf's territory, an extra layer of taxes will be added, and the serfs will not starve to death, and it is much better than the serfs in Gervais's territory, because they can cultivate double crops, and even if they add two layers of taxes, it can also reach the living standard of the serfs in the storm territory.

Who would have thought that Gandalf, who seemed to be one of the five big and three rough and fierce people, was a benevolent lord.

"The nobles are rich, you can take a walk around Winterfell when you have time, but let me tell you, although the nobles of Winterfell are rich, they are not as good as the royal capital, which is the real rich place."

"Do you know what beer tastes like?"

After popularizing science, how proud the aristocracy was, Alice changed the topic and asked Gervais directly, which pulled Gervais, who was admiring his cheap dad, out of his thoughts.

"Of course I know, but Alice, you don't need to say it, I invented the golden wine, and I am very confident in how it tastes, so you can just say how much this golden wine sells for!"

Alice's words were so clear, and Gervais had already understood that he had underestimated these noble lords.

In fact, from the auction in the snowy manor during the day, Gervais saw a clue, the nobles can take out a gold coin for an uncertain note, but also for the auction of the elven worms dozens of hundreds of gold coins, if Gervais's 2300 pots of wine continue to be sold at the original price, the total value is only 230, it is estimated that the local tyrant alone can be rounded.

"A pot of gold coins!"
