Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 15 Sea salt is better than snow, and the price is better than platinum

When the fully loaded fishing boat gradually approached the shore, old Ford, who was standing on the rocks on the seaside and looking forward to it, burst into tears...

My master...why is he so uneasy?

When he heard the news that the Earl was sailing away, he almost fainted again, what a sin...

But fortunately, Old Ford had already suffered through Bruno's countless ridiculous actions, and if there wasn't a big impact, he wouldn't faint again.

As soon as the boat was level with the shore, Bruno jumped from the boat and landed firmly on the shore.

"Old housekeeper... I was in a hurry and forgot to inform you." Bruno was quite embarrassed when facing this old man who was over fifty years old.

"As long as the master comes back safely, it will be fine, but... Luobida has been fooling the master all day long, and he must have been bewitched by him this time when he went fishing. This man is really hateful. Please punish him severely... ..." Old Ford glared hard at the valet who was following Bruno with his head lowered.

Luobida was originally a little dizzy due to the bumps and waves on the sea, but when he heard the old housekeeper call his name, he immediately sobered up a little and said quickly: "Master housekeeper, you really don't care about the villain's business..."

"That's right!" Bruno immediately answered, "Lópida did do something wrong, and I will definitely criticize him in the future, but... seeing that we really caught a lot of fish and shrimp in the sea, I will forgive him for now. Let’s beat him this time…”

"Caught a fish?" Old Ford was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, isn't it full of piles on the deck?" Bruno gestured towards the fishing boats behind him with his fingers.

Previously, Old Ford was busy talking to Bruno and didn't pay much attention to the fishing boat. However, after Bruno mentioned it, he finally noticed the fish piled on the deck of the fishing boat.

Old Ford's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"This...how is this possible..."

"Thanks to Luobida's idea..." Bruno patted Luobida on the shoulder with a half-smile.

Luobida's body shook violently, "This is all thanks to the master..."

Old Ford had no time to pay attention to the master and servant who were complimenting each other. At this time, his eyes had already been attracted by the abundant harvest on the fishing boat. On a trip to the sea... could he catch so many fish?

He remembered hearing someone say that fishing... depends entirely on the blessing of the Poseidon!

Therefore, in old Ford’s impression, fishing should not be such an easy thing...

"What are you still doing? Hurry... help move all these fish down..." Old Ford's voice trembled, and he ordered the serfs to carry the piles of fish and shrimp to the land.

The serfs crowded on the shore had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. As soon as Old Ford finished speaking, they all rushed forward. When had they ever seen so much food...

"Is this fishing...is there any skill?" Old Ford asked quickly after coming back to his senses.

"Of course there is. This time, I plan to let Luobida stay and specifically manage the fishing." Bruno replied.

"This is a good thing! If you can catch so many fish every time you go fishing, then the food... won't be so tight." Old Ford agreed. ,

On the side, Luobida was in pain and happiness at this time.

He must have been extremely excited when his master entrusted him with such an important task, but... when he thought of the wind, waves and bumps in the sea, Luobida felt a little frightened.

"Since the master has given me this opportunity, I must do my best!" Luobida said bravely.

Now that we have landed, there is basically no need for Bruno to worry about the next thing. Serfs will carry the fish off the boat and then sort them into categories, either salted or dried, no matter what method is used. To process it, the fish caught at sea will definitely become one of the important sources of food for Idar City in the future.

"Let's go to the salt farm and have a look." Bruno suddenly suggested while walking.

After dealing with the problem of food, the next step is naturally the problem of funds. Salt production from seawater is the most important financial source of Idar City. Bruno naturally has to go and see it in person before he can rest assured.

"Old slave will lead you." Old Ford volunteered.

As the chief steward of the Idar Territory, Old Ford had always personally handled all the funds in the territory, so he was naturally very familiar with the salt fields on the seaside.

The salt farm is actually not far from the pier, and you don't need to ride a horse. It can be reached in just a few steps.

The operation of the salt farm required a large number of serfs, and the noisy voices of people could be heard from a long distance away.

The world's seawater salt production method is still very backward. It is not much different from the salt production method in ancient China a long time ago, which is to boil salt with seawater.

Although boiled salt and sun salt may sound similar, they are quite different in actual operation.

Boiling salt requires a lot of manpower. First, someone has to be responsible for carrying seawater, and then someone has to go to the mountains to chop trees and firewood, and steam the seawater in a pot. After cooking over and over again, a little bit of salt can be made. Salt.

It is precisely because of the huge investment required to make salt that, in many places, high-quality salt is regarded as "platinum" by many people. A small bucket of salt can be used to buy a house, and it is a well-known hard currency. .

As for sun salt, it seems...it hasn't appeared in this world yet...

However, Bruno knows about the sea salt, after all... This is high school knowledge in the compulsory education stage, UU Reading www.uukanshu. NET exam is required.

"Old Ford, within the jurisdiction of Idar Territory, is there any place with stronger sunlight than this one?"

The old housekeeper thought for a while and then said: "Yes, walking a few dozen miles south from here, there is a coastal tidal flat. It is not blocked by reefs and cliffs. On weekdays, there is plenty of sunlight and there is no human habitation."

Bruno couldn't help but laugh. He really wanted to take a nap and someone gave him a pillow: "Really? That's a good place to bask in the salt!"

"Salt...salt?" Old Ford was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't know what kind of whimsical idea this was.

In the past few days, his master had brought too many shocks to him, which made Old Ford feel at a loss for a while.

Before that, my master's nonsense was really just nonsense. Apart from a waste of money, it would not bring any good changes to Idar's tie.

But from the past few days, every Bruno's nonsense will bring some changes to Idar's tie.

Just before Bruno returned, he had just received a letter from Idar City. It was said that under the management of that guy Shabi, although the appearance of Idar City was still not completely new, it was much stronger than before, at least... ...You no longer have to worry about stepping on something that causes the reincarnation of grains when you go out.

In addition, when Bruno went out of the city this time, he not only picked a large amount of seaweed, but also went to sea with Luobida to catch a large amount of fish and shrimp, which greatly expanded the food reserves of Idar Territory.

Although the reason why all this happened seems to be because my master wanted to plan a more grand and prodigal plan - to build a hanging garden.

But Old Ford was still happy from the bottom of his heart. After all, the Idar Territory was gradually becoming more vibrant...
