"Do you really want to do it?"

"Really do it."

"The first time, it could be fatal."

"That's what sparks you?"

"I'm afraid your followers will be sad!"

Alverda raised an eyebrow.

Although she was very interested in the Io-O religion, she had just changed her faith on the spur of the moment.

But for female pirates, seeing Heavenly Father and worshiping Heavenly Father, seeing Io and worshiping Io, these are all routine operations.

Faith does not affect her behavior at all, at most a little.

In short, she will not help Feng Daofu deal with her godmother just because she changed her faith.

However, when Denmark is not involved, for the sake of faith, it can be biased towards him.

This kind of thing for show is done by many kings and nobles, but riding a bear across the river. It's so dangerous!

It's not just a pirate princess who is worried about this.

The Valkyries, who knew about the plan, were worried.

Ava, the secretary on duty today, asked solemnly, "Is the white bear safe?" ”

"This white bear is raised by a noble family from childhood to adulthood, and he is very familiar with people."

The beast taming expert wiped his sweat: "And I have eaten very much, and I have used calming herbs, I have practiced it many times, and we have separated ourselves from each other, so we will not let it be stressed, and the possibility of accidents is very, very low." ”

In order to prove what he said, the animal taming expert directly reached out and snatched the apple from the big white bear's mouth.

The big white bear glanced at it obliquely, and his eyes were a bit like Brother Tiger.

Vondolph fiddled with the big bear's paw.

This time, the big white bear was not perfunctory, and gently arched his head to him, like a large Samoyed, very docile.

It's cute. If only the paws weren't so stinky.

Feng Dolph wiped his hands without a trace.

Those who have raised golden retrievers must have tried to peel off their golden retriever feet and smell the toe gaps.

The smell goes straight to the heavenly spirit cover, and it is a refreshing sensation.

The taste of the golden retriever's toe gap is super doubled, which is the taste of the bear's paw toe seam.

The big white bear didn't care, and rubbed against him as if flattering, showing much more enthusiasm than the animal trainer.

The difference in performance before and after made Alvirda a little surprised: "Does this big guy recognize your identity?" ”

Vondolph was not surprised.

Bears have a high level of intelligence.

Many of the bears raised by the pet up will turn on the tap to drink water by themselves, and will also drag the trough to the feeding place.

Eyesight is not good, but the sense of smell is developed, and it can accurately distinguish between a shoveler and a stranger by smell.

He also watched a video in which Xiong could accurately tell who was the leader in this group.

A group of people came to inspect, and the black bear stood up and waved hello to the leader, and he didn't know if he could distinguish the psoas pheromone.

Also because of the high intelligence, many hunters shot and injured the bear, the bear fled, and after a while, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he turned around and came back to follow the hunter to retaliate.

Personality depends on the individual.

Some are timid, and cats and dogs can bully them.

Some are bold enough to enter the village and attack people.

The similarity is that they will become irritable during estrus, which is something that cannot be affected by physiology.

Well, this one.

Feng Daofu took a look, the bell was slammed, and there was no physiological basis for wanting to be irritable.

Even with his current strength of 19 points, he didn't dare to say that he could lay down a half-ton white bear without injury with his bare hands.

Therefore, it is necessary to use various means to reduce the risk.

In addition to the regular ones, there is also a medical specialty recently acquired - Veterinarian (+30% recovery rate for lame horses and sick beasts, +50% survival rate for post-war mounts)

It may be that he knows that Master Feng has a BUFF on his body, and many animals are very friendly to him, which is equivalent to the implicit animal affinity and passivity, and it can be said that the risk of showing off is minimized.

It is also because of this expertise that Feng Daofu chose the beast of fierce bear, and the propaganda effect was pulled to the best, effectively suppressing the ambitionists, stabilizing the internal development, and sprinting the final progress of several decisions.

"Let's go!"

Getting closer, Vondolph flipped over the bear.

So at the New Year's celebration, many people saw the sage riding a bear from afar.

With the efforts of the Propaganda Department of the Church and grassroots cadres, the large-character copper engraving of the saint riding a bear across the river has been pasted all over the streets and alleys of China, attracting the attention and heated discussions of countless people.

The Sage had a bare and strong upper body, a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and the face of the big white bear had a docile expression, as if he had been impressed by the Sage.

Just by looking at the picture, they could feel how powerful it was, and the speed of conversion skyrocketed.

At this time, drugs + slogans for the treatment of depression in the workforce were also rolled out.

"At the end of the day, the world is made for you. If you exist, the world lives. ”

"If you are happy, the world will light up."

"When you are depressed, the world is in disgrace."

"If you are merciful, the world will be tolerant of everything."

"If you hate, the world will be vicious."

"If you give up, the world will be destroyed."

"The most important person in the world is you."

"Please don't give up!"

"Love fills the heavens and the earth, you don't know it, but it surrounds you."

"If you commit suicide, you will be tortured by demons in hell, and the first level is to be flicked 10,000 times a day by the demon waves!"

There is only one way in the world to make someone listen to you willingly: give him what he wants.

Work hard, check in one more day, you can get eggs, and there is a more exciting Dengdua Lang than the game.

If you don't live well, you will commit suicide and go to hell.

Spirituality and matter go hand in hand, and the effect is remarkable.

In addition to big-character posters and missionary propaganda, there are also many new stage plays provided by Mr. Feng, an enthusiastic citizen.

"What is happiness for a Heavenly Father scholar?"

"Happiness is when someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night, and when the door is opened: Jack, you didn't avoid the name of the Heavenly Father in the book you wrote, come with us."

"The scholar says: You're mistaken, Jack is next door."

Another example.

"Two skeletons met, and one skeleton said to the other: 'What a coincidence, did you die in Ireland or Rome?'

"Another skeleton said: Thank God, I'm alive."

It's all joke drama that the masses love.

During this winter break, the vigorous propaganda war began, and the whole territory became lively, and the festive atmosphere was very strong.

After all, everyone has a lot of rest time and does not need to work overtime to make screws.

When there is time, there is a festive atmosphere.

I can turn on the TV without time, and the cloud feels the actor's hoarse roar! Dumplings! Smash!

- The Lantern Festival is an exception, because the Lantern Festival is not a statutory holiday, and you have to go to work.

In other words, if it weren't for Smecta, there might be a few fewer festivals.

It turned out to be stolen to give us a holiday, and I cried to death!

It's not right, where do the traditional festivals come from, they are all called holidays.

Festival, to experience with heart, to pay attention to the mind rather than the form, the heart of the atmosphere is strong, overtime festival can have more money to consume and promote a wave of O!

There are also not so many production tasks in Io, and it is more important to promote happiness.

Before the reports of the grassroots cadres in various localities came up, Feng Daofu had already received the harvest of this large-scale propaganda campaign.

"Complete the Decision: Spread the Reformation!"

"Gain the Sword of Reformation buff: For 25 years, +10% conversion speed, +10% faith fervor, +15% clerical loyalty"

As a result of this propaganda campaign, almost all of Norway converted to Io.

With this buff, the stability of the territory is improved, and the security risks of sending troops to Jutland to fight are greatly reduced.

This time to support the Archduke of Jutland, the No. 4 father-in-law, Vondolf plans to send a brigade, that is, 5,000 people.

Vondolf would not personally lead the troops and handed over the military operation to Brooke.

This former elite warrior of the Norse tribe, after more than a year of study, has shown his talent to lead soldiers, and can be further cultivated.

In addition to Brooke, there are other people who have also shown their military talents.

The Vikings may be a little less interesting to say that they are civil servants, and they are not interested in it.

Even if there is guidance, it will take at least a generation to change this atmosphere.

They are not interested in being civil servants, but they are interested in leading troops to fight, that is, everyone is very interested.

These talents must be cultivated for the platform.

In addition to Jutland to train people, Scotland's triangular trade will also allow them to carry it out.

By cultivating talents as soon as possible, Vondolph can allocate valuable energy to more important things.

In addition to this, the religious fanaticism of the whole people also increased the daily prestige of Vondolph.

It didn't take long to accumulate enough prestige to unlock buildings for the three cities.

"Spend 300 Prestige to unlock the Tier 2 Market (a small increase in taxes, a small increase in popularity)"

"Spend 300 Prestige to unlock the Tier 2 Market (a small increase in taxes, a small increase in popularity)"

"Spend 300 Prestige to unlock a Level 2 Trade Depot (a small increase in trade efficiency, a small amount of stability increase)"

"Spend 300 Prestige to unlock a Tier 2 Port (a small increase in taxes, a small increase in shipbuilding speed)"

"Decision Complete: North Sea Trade!"

"Gain the North Sea Trading Post BUFF: For 10 years, -5% local development cost, +5% administrative efficiency, +5% trade efficiency"

Each BUFF is stacked up, and with the efficiency bonus, many projects have completed the last section of progress one after another.

The most important of these is the sugar beet sugar extraction project.

Sugar beets are native to the western and southern coasts of Europe and are cultivated in Sweden.

More than half a year ago, Vondolph obtained many seeds, including pasture and sugar beets, through merchants, and now they have achieved their first harvest.

Due to the limitation of the number of seeds, only 10,000 acres of sugar beet fields were opened in the first batch.

On the basis of the use of soil fertilizers, the average yield of sugar beet per mu reached 1 ton.

It is far less than the modern average yield of 5 tons per mu, after all, there is a gap in hardware conditions such as breeding, but this is more than ten times the yield per mu in the past, so that the old farmers in the Middle Ages call the blessing of the sage.

"I've been planting for so many years, and it's the first time I've had such an amazing harvest!"

When the old peasant said this, the Propaganda Department thought it was a very good material, so it was compiled into the latest propaganda big-character poster: "Shock! One way to increase the yield per mu by ten times! 》

Nearly 10,000 tons of sugar beet are available, and the rest is to process the raw materials.

Bang~

It was rainy.

Ava held an umbrella and accompanied Feng Dolph to inspect the sugar mill.

The last thing Nordic lacks is rivers.

The workshop is built at the confluence of a river, and the water is fast, which makes good use of water resources, saving time and effort.

The layout of the entire workshop area includes sheet metal mills, mills, sugar mills, etc., and there are paper mills downstream.

In the past, there was no water power in Luleå, simply because it was too cold.

Now there is the North Atlantic Current, where the river does not freeze in winter like Luleå Bay, and the waterwheels creak and turn under the action of the current, and the power is transmitted to the workshop through a wooden shaft and other components.

The iron press wheel rotates to slag the beets in the trough, and then the workers transport the beet dregs in the stone trough to the juice room in wooden barrels along with the beet juice.

Pour all of this into a large square container, and when it is full, use a thick board of wood to insert it along the grooves reserved in the three borders, and then use a pestle hanging horizontally from the beams to beat the board into the container one by one, and squeeze the beet residue inside.

Wait until the juice in the beet residue has all flowed out along the void at the bottom, collect it into a new bucket, and pour it into the pot.

Cook over a fierce fire and mix together!

The sugar juice boiling in the pot on the side became thicker and thicker.

The worker in charge of the spoon scooped up a spoonful with a long iron scoop and looked at it.

The sugar turns yellow, the sweetness begins to thicken, and there are a lot of bubbles, all of which are floating impurities.

"Remove impurities!"

The worker next to him carefully filtered out the impurities with a spoon, continued to cook on high heat, and kept stirring the beet juice in the pot to accelerate the evaporation of the water in the juice.

Until the pot became thick, the foreman shouted: "Prepare to beat the sugar!" ”

The fire of boiling sugar turned into a slow fire.

After waiting for a moment, the foreman put two fingers into the cold water, and suddenly into the boiling cauldron.

Several times in a row, until the syrup hardens when it is cold and makes a continuous crunchy sound, a group of sugar workers quickly scoop the syrup into the sugar trough.

Stir back and forth with a spatula at the bottom of the pot, and the sugar juice will gradually shrink and condense into a pile.

When it was almost over, it was dispersed with a shovel, and wisps of hot air emanated from the sugar pile.

Repeat this many times, and the brown sugar will be processed.

"According to your orders, the remaining beet residues are also collected and used to ferment the fodder for winemaking, fertilizing the fields, and livestock, without a single waste."

The practice of stewardship enshrines the virtue of frugality.

Feng Dolph twisted a pinch of brown sugar with his fingers, and the improved process made the shape and purity very good.

I took it back and made it out of sugar by refining and refining, and fed it to my wives one by one, and everyone liked it very much.

The newly joined rabbit-haired girl Hilud touched her lower abdomen, and began to feel that this kind of life was really good, and she was no longer worried about having a child.

Vondolph liked it too.

Who can refuse the sweet Valkyrie berries.

Packaged, divided into two levels, another luxury-level fist product was born!

Internal benefits can also be upgraded, and the happiness index of Ai Ou is +1+1+1

Sugar water can also be used for beekeeping.

Honey was also the most popular hard currency in the Middle Ages, and every tribe had beekeepers, but there was no way to solve the seasonal problem of bees producing honey because of technical problems.

Feng Dolph doesn't know how to raise it either, but he's heard of sugar water feeding honey and has seen beehives in many videos.

I met with the beekeeper and solved the technical problem in a year and a half.

In today's honey industry, honey can be collected once a week, and the efficiency of honey collection is greatly improved with a hand-cranked centrifuge, and the damage to bees is not high.

Last year, because the scale of the sugar mill was not large enough, the production of honey was not even satisfied with the internal supply.

Now that the problem of sugar has been solved, the internal supply is sufficient, and the export trade can be done.

Feng Daofu seems to have seen the progress bar of the second year of the new calendar, relying on fist products to eat up a large share of North Sea trade and quickly promote North Sea trade decisions.

"It's the commercial competition between the Germans and the Danes that is a problem."

The only way to do this is to build more ships.

In Beihai, the test of commercial ability is to see if it can fight.

Big fists are the last word in business warfare!

Breakthrough in beet sugar extraction technology, maltose technology breakthrough, new Valkyrie launch, new rat experiment.

While the territory under Io's control was growing rapidly, the envoys of various countries finally returned to their homeland one after another, and informed their lords of what they had seen and heard.

Hearing Vondolph's attitude towards the old aristocracy, these nobles reacted greatly.

Because of empathy.

Why has food safety not been effectively improved? Because food can be specially served.

Why can the Blue Sky and White Cloud Project achieve such amazing achievements? Because there is no special supply of air.

If the gutter oil hadn't entered the canteen, it might not have made such a big fuss.

Because of empathy, all the nobles who had a tone expressed strong protests.

For a time, the Nordic world in winter was lively, which surprised a friendly country.

"Kind of come to hit me!"

Feng Daofu didn't care about it, and he only focused on development, and by the way, he improved the confidentiality of key technologies.

It was only when Margaret I sent a letter that she replied with Sage Sugar and Sage Honey.

Do you have a sweet tooth?

Want sugar freedom?

Mother-in-law, you don't want me to find other nobles to represent the Danish market, cultivate new nobles and then start a rebellion, right?

Margaret I pondered for a moment and decided to ignore the protests of the nobles.

According to the minister, von Dolph has mastered Norway.

When she heard the news from the minister, she had a rare and noticeable mood swing.

She didn't know how Vondolph did it, and neither the minister nor his goddaughter Alvirda provided any useful information, so she could only raise her evaluation and vigilance against Vondolph.

Regardless of the process, the results have already happened.

Since the traditional wrist is useless, it is only left to fight and continue to maintain the alliance.

It is impossible to fight, and the Swedish throne is more important for her to control the Baltics.

Moreover, it is farther and more difficult to fight across the sea to Norway than to Sweden.

The logistical pressure is even greater, and it may not be possible to beat this new legend of the ice sea that defeated the blonde king.

Besides, the gallows are all used up, and the dead nobles have no profit at all, but sugar is not the same as honey.

Acting as an agent for business, it is the private property of the royal family, and you can dispose of it as you want.

"The marriage continues, urge my sister to pick a wonderful daughter."

The Queen of Denmark, as always, made the most rational choice.

Without this leader, the Danish aristocracy could not make a fuss, and only the Swedish aristocracy remained.

They didn't have long to fight, and the big one came: Albert of Mecklenburg, officially launched a battle for the claim to the throne against the Swedish king!

This Germanic prince claims to have an army of 20,000 troops, and his army is approaching Jutland!

Grand Duke of Jutland: ?

Albert: Brother, my army is just passing through!

Grand Duke Jutland: I believe it!

Turning around, he sent an urgent letter for help to Bergen.

Grand Duke Jutland: Son-in-law, son-in-law, save me!

Vondolph: Father-in-law, don't be afraid! With my loyal and courageous son-in-law, I absolutely guarantee your safety!

Brooke led a brigade on a boat to Jutland.

A Swedish Smash Bros. triggered by the Swedish crown is about to begin!

Meanwhile, Willy arrives in Scotland with a mission.

There were two things he needed to do on this trip.

First, to aid the Scots, exchanging armaments and Hercules mushroom powder for Angsa prisoners of war.

Second, trade with England for sugar and honey for Scottish prisoners of war.

"Trading with the English requires not revealing their identities, and if they are exposed, they say that they are rescuing the Scots?"

"Easy!"

The corners of Willy's mouth are raised, showing the confidence of a pangolin.

First issue and then change
