Even if the price of Stark shrubs is high, it is relatively limited, a gold coin can buy half a basket, because it is not particularly picky about the growth environment, they can be seen by the river and lake, especially around the Pterodactyl Lake (also called the Long Arm Lake, named because it resembles an adult arm) of the Cormier Kingdom, there is a large amount of production used as fish food for the Pterodactyl Lake, which makes this lake the reputation of the mother lake of the Cormier people, it is said that half of the Cormier people grew up eating the lake fish produced here, This includes some villages and towns in the north that are far from the Lake District.

"I'm going to start farming on the other side of the Thun marsh, and I'm going to need a lot of Steck bushes, and Handiberg, who lives here, has studied the Steck shrubs for many years, and he has developed varieties that are not only of excellent quality, but also easier to store for long periods of time, and become more and more attractive to fish, and I believe that they can be processed in the feed and processed in the feed, and I believe that the fish feed will be processed better." Gavin told the truth, but he didn't tell it all, and the other one couldn't be shared with the crown princess, after all, it involved the construction of a processing plant, which was a trade secret, and it was worthless once it was leaked.

"Haven't you never been here before? How do you know about Handyberg? The crown princess asked suspiciously, Gai Wenming had not penetrated into the territory of the Cormier Kingdom, but how could she show that she knew more than the prince of the kingdom?

"I have just read the latest chapter of Mr. Varro's travels, about the kingdom of Cormier, which is written about the fact that he calls Handiber the father of herding and fishing, and that many of the fish farms in the bay of the Dragon's Coast have benefited from the new varieties of Steck bushes he has cultivated." Gavin unceremoniously sold Varro, anyway, if his book is going to be published on a large scale sooner or later, it will definitely be blacklisted by the Cormier Kingdom.

"That bad mage with a long nose? Is he really going to publish a travelogue about Cormier? It was as if the perfect smile carved into the beautiful face of the crown princess had disappeared, and several black lines appeared on her white forehead, and it was clear that she not only knew Varro, but also had an extremely bad impression of him, and the so-called long nose was certainly not a description of his appearance, but his habit of sniffing around and inquiring for news.

The first to publish the travelogues of Waterdeep and the Northlands has already made him notorious, and he is disliked and even hated by many people who don't like to leak secrets, and Tynarasta is one of them.

"He's not going to publish it, but it's already out, but it's still in the process of being further compiled, and it will be printed in large quantities in Waterdeep City next year at the latest." Gavin replied truthfully.

"Where did the general see it? Can you lend it to me? "The crown princess didn't want to get a sneak peek, but she was ready to fill in the gaps and make sure that there weren't too many secrets that Cormier didn't want to reveal.

"I'm sorry, I'm also a friend who borrowed the book, and I've already returned it, but I've memorized all the contents, and I'll show it to His Highness when I have time." Gavin used the procrastination technique, although the crown princess read it, and the things she saw from it were not necessarily exactly the same as herself, but she also had to guard against it, and was ready to delay as much as possible to squeeze out the benefits that could be obtained from that book, if the crown princess was strong enough to get the internal version from other channels, then there was no way, and she could only hope that she did not have her own brain.

"I'll talk about it later, your guests have arrived." Princess Crown's flawless smile reappeared on her face a second before outsiders arrived, and she would always show only the best of herself to the Cormiers.

"See...... See...... Met Her Royal Highness the Princess. A burly middle-aged man with a dark face knelt in front of Tenarasta, stammering for a long time, and only uttered an honorific salutation.

This man is what Gavin called Handiber, the father of herding and fishing.

Although the town of Hilp is not the most remote township in the Cormier Kingdom, it is almost the same, it is only eighty kilometers from the High Horn Fort, and more than 200 kilometers from the royal capital Susar.

Handiber is really famous after the sale of Cormier in Varro's Travels, and now he is at best a small fame among some fish farmers and merchants, and the druid's professional level is still below the extraordinary.

Now that he was suddenly summoned by the prince of the Cormier Kingdom, he was naturally a little excited and speechless, after all, the identities of the two sides were too different.

"Get up and speak." Princess Crown said in an unusually soft voice, "Mr. Handybourg, please don't be nervous, we just heard that you have a unique achievement in cultivating Stark bushes, and General Gavin wants to cooperate with you in this regard, you can negotiate the specific matters yourself, I won't get involved too much." ”

Tynarasta was well aware of his intimidating influence on ordinary Cormiers, and if he was present, it would seriously affect the judgment of the druid in front of him.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Handibo is obviously a little relieved, after all, he is a professional, although he is not extraordinary, but his self-control ability is far stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Your Highness, stay here, if you want to make this transaction, you can also participate in it in your own name, and we will jointly set up a joint-stock processing factory." Gavin certainly won't miss the perfect opportunity to tie the crown princess to his chariot.

"Oh? Joint-stock processing plant? How do you say this? "Princess Crown is obviously more interested in the new term in Gavin's mouth, and as for money, she is not uninterested, but she simply thinks that a ubiquitous Steck bush can make a name for herself.

"It is our people, technology, and capital, and then according to their own contributions, each of them accounts for a part of the shares of this factory, and when we make a profit, we also distribute it according to this proportion." Gavin briefly introduced the concept of the joint-stock system, "Those multi-person joint chambers of commerce are basically the same composition model. ”

"As soon as you say that, I understand." Princess Crown solved the previous doubt, and gave birth to a new doubt, "Since you want to buy high-quality Steck bushes, you can directly sign a subscription contract with Mr. Handyber, how can you involve me?" And why set up a factory? ”

No one is perfect, even if Tynarasta wants to make herself perfect, it is impossible to be exhaustive, business operations obviously belong to her shortcomings, in her thinking, only the most direct supply and demand, but do not see other possibilities.

"I have compared the Steck bushes planted by Mr. Handiburgh, and it is true that they are far better than those produced in the wild and elsewhere, and in terms of honesty, Mr. Varro is very sure, but how much land can Mr. Handiber cultivate alone, no matter how hard he works? Five acres or ten acres? Even with a large number of farmers, I only managed a few more estates, and the number of Stecks I produced was very limited, and I had an entire Thun swamp with a tribe of tens of thousands of black-scaled lizardmen eating this fish-eating bait. ”

Gavin began to gradually start throwing the bait outward, and not only the crown princess was attracted to attention, but even Handyburgh, who was unusually reserved in front of the crown princess, was also attracted, because it was not only about his own interests, but also about what he did best, he had never done anything else in his life, and devoted all his energy to the cultivation of the Steck bush, as it had been for decades.

As those who don't understand scoff, "How much pleasure can you get out of a plant that only fish like to eat?" ”

The process of cultivating the Steck bush is naturally tedious, but when it is successful, it is very moving, especially when it does benefit people, and the feeling is even more wonderful and moving.

With these, the cultivation process can be enjoyable even if it is boring and boring.

Unexpectedly, the wine and meat mage who looked very unreliable was not just drunken nonsense, he not only really published a book, but also really wrote his own affairs, and now even the crown princess was shocked.

Not giving them a chance to ask questions, Gavin continued, "If we really want to carry forward the Steck bushes that Mr. Handiber has cultivated, we must set up a special seed union to distribute the best Steck bush seeds to the farmers for free, and provide them with all kinds of planting instructions, but before that, they need to sign a contract with us, and the Steck bushes they grow must be sold to us first for the same price."

As a result, the planting range of high-quality Steck shrubs can be expanded by tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times at once.

We can separate the acquired Steck shrubs according to the quality of the products, and the best ones can be selected as high-grade bait for sale to fishermen who are fishing and fishing.

The inferior ones are mixed with ordinary aquatic plants and the like, and processed in batches into fish feed that the fish are willing to eat, or used for sale, or used for fish farm farming, and within two years, not to mention the City of Faith, even the High Horn Castle will have an abundant supply of fish, and the pressure on your royal family's food supply in this area will be greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that this can drive the development of all walks of life, Your Highness, you count, how many people have been driven in this process?

Farmers who cultivate the Steck Bush will have two additional incomes, one from planting the Steck Bush and the other from the additional harvested aquatic weeds.

The further processing of the Steck shrub inevitably requires a group of workers, merchants and transporters in the process of selling, and fishermen in the fish farm, all of whom can profit from the process, and the wages they receive are likely to be spent on the fish they have grown in the process.

It's a virtuous cycle, and everyone benefits, including us, and even the kingdom's taxes are raised to a certain extent. ”

What Gavin threw out is not simply a basic planting, but a complete industrial chain.

Princess Crown's eyes lit up when she listened, because she deeply realized that the value contained in this industrial chain of agricultural and sideline products can not only increase the income of people at all levels, but also provide a large number of agricultural and sideline product harvests to fill the stomachs of more people, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and all this is only derived from this inconspicuous, one gold coin can buy half a basket of Steck shrubs.

The other Handiber listened to it a little foggy, and finally his brain couldn't keep up with Gavin's train of thought, so he boldly stammered and asked, "This gentleman, trouble...... Could you please help me explain...... All are making money...... Where does this money come from? The Steck bush is not gold, so how can it make everyone profitable? ”

"Catch!" Princess Crown patiently explained, "In this process, the relatively inexpensive Steck bushes turn those cheaper aquatic plants into expensive catches, and this is a process of creating gold, and all people naturally benefit from it and earn their own share." ”

"I see." Handibo nodded as if he didn't understand, "But I can only grow Steck shrubs, and I don't know how to mix Stek shrubs with aquatic plants, let alone other ......."

"This is not something that can be done by one person, Mr. Handiburgh, you just need to do what you do best, and summarize your experience in cultivating Steck bushes over the years, and it is best to organize it into a simple tutorial manual, so that ordinary farmers can understand it at a glance.

For example, what soil is best for planting Steck shrubs, when is the best time to plant, does it need to loosen the soil before planting, does it need to ridge before planting, how many days does it need to be watered, and does it prefer drought or waterlogging? What to do if there is a pest infestation, etc.

At the same time, you can use your Steck bushes for extensive breeding to get the best quality varieties into the hands of farmers who are willing to plant them.

You just have to make sure that the Steck bushes planted by the farmers can survive and produce in large quantities, it is a success, and the rest will be taken care of by our professionals. Gavin's words have completely treated Handy Burr as a partner.

This is the advantage of pulling the tiger skin of the crown princess Tainarasta, and if he came alone, it would be a troublesome thing to try to win the trust of Handibur, and not to be regarded as a liar by him, and Varro commented on him in his travelogue as rude, scathing, and humorous.

In the Kingdom of Cormier, no one can refuse the kindness from the royal family of Obaiszir, especially someone like Handiber, who is at the bottom of the social ladder, which is definitely a high thing.

"What Mr. said is very simple, because the Steck shrub is a shrub, it is very tenacious and can adapt to any environment, but the key to cultivating a good Steck shrub is water, and it must be irrigated frequently, as long as this is ensured, the Steck shrub that grows is usually not too bad."

Handiber did not hesitate to share his experience of planting Steck shrubs, "But if you want to promote planting on a large scale, I'm afraid it's not as easy as Mr. said, I've been in Hilp Town for almost 20 years, and I've been teaching the residents here to plant Steck shrubs for free, but so far, except for my three Steck bush farmland, none of them are willing to plant." ”

"That's because you only taught them to plant Steck bushes, but you didn't help them open sales channels, and the next step will not be that you take the initiative to teach them the planting techniques of Steck bushes, but that they will come to you and even buy the Steck bush planting techniques in your hands."

Gavin turned his head and ordered, "Grace, send a message back to the headquarters of the Conqueror's Chamber of Commerce, and ask them to send a caravan to Cormier, along all trade routes, to buy Steck bushes at market prices, and to eat as much as they want, and transport them all back to the City of Faith." ”

Gavin grasped the minds of the people at the bottom very accurately, laid out the facts and reasoned with them, and did not dare to say that it was completely useless, at least the effect was very slow, and the most effective method was real money.

As long as they see the money, they will try their best to collect Steck shrubs for sale, and when they find that the efficiency of wild collection is far less efficient and profitable than large-scale cultivation, coupled with proper guidance, there will be a large number of farmers who will recklessly invest in this planting industry.

"Yes." Grace replied respectfully, this former Evanoso death pit viper has been transformed, compared to ordinary people, she is still a little skinny, but the gloomy atmosphere is not so strong, the black mage robe has been replaced by black leather armor, black leather pants, and a shadow cloak, like a thief and more like a necromancer, which is the standard attire of the Black Wing Guild.

After going through a lot of assessment tasks (going to the Simon Black Market to buy diamonds with a lot of money is part of the assessment task), Grace has gained Gavin's initial trust, and now he is taking him by his side to undertake some darker tasks, after all, she has been imperceptibly influenced by a devil for many years, although she still retains a spark of conscience in her heart, but there are definitely not many, she is proficient in various gangs, trade unions in the means and doorways, and she is handy in handling gray area affairs.

Her shadow disappeared silently, obviously going back to deliver the news, within an hour, the conqueror's caravan side will be in action, instant messaging is the most powerful means of competition for this emerging caravan, they can be in the enemy is still in the stage of transmitting the news, they have already launched the operation, forever grab most of the caravan, naturally they can get the biggest piece of the pie.

Even in normal business competition, the Conqueror Caravan can have an advantage, not to mention, there is still an army of Conquerors standing behind them, and there are many business opportunities that ordinary caravans do not have, and it is difficult for them to develop if they want to - even the Competing Chamber of Commerce has a transcendent spellcaster who assists in transmitting information through teleportation, and the Conqueror Caravan also has the advantage of long-distance message transmission without cost.

Apparently noticing Grace's strangeness, Tenarasta stared at her deeply, but remained silent.
