Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Fall in love with youkanshu.com, Your Majesty, the spectacle is ruining the country!

It has been several days since Isabel returned to Conte.

Arnel and the others were too far away from their families, and for Isabel, the distance of a Strangle Valley was obviously not worth mentioning.

It's just that... half a year later, when Isabel returned to the Conte territory again, looking at the hereditary fiefdom belonging to the Conte family in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.

If Isabel had been living here, she might have become accustomed to everything here.

only……

What she saw and heard in the Idar Territory made Isabel frown slightly at the appearance of the Conte Territory.

Conte Territory is still the same, but Idar Territory is undergoing new changes every day. Isabel, who personally teaches at the Qidian Orphanage, knows this very well.

Isabel can see hope for the future in the civilians in the Idar Territory who are supposed to be faceless and working hard to make a living, and can see their expectations and gratitude for the constantly improving living conditions.

However……

On the other hand, in this hereditary fiefdom of the Conte family, the cold winters ravaged the scantily clad people over and over again. The hungry serfs gathered in the corners of the streets. They squeezed together tightly and relied on each other's body temperature to help each other. Keep warm.

These people at the lowest level can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, let alone send their children to learn spelling and reading aloud like the common people in Idar Territory...

Although there is only the Valley of Thorns between the Idar Territory and the Conte Territory, the scenes on both sides are completely different.

Although more and more people are attracted to the Idar Territory, but...

Most of the news in this era only relied on word of mouth among neighbors. In addition, the Idar Territory had no intention of harvesting wool from the Conte Territory. So to be honest, except for those villages near Thorn Valley, the Conte Territory The population loss is not particularly serious.

After all... for these people who have rarely traveled far away, they may not even know the name of the aristocrat next door, let alone move from home to family.

Therefore, even though the Idar Territory not far away is under construction in full swing, and the serfs are gradually getting rid of their shackles and relying on their own labor to gain freedom, the Conte Territory next door is still the same, with no Not affected in the slightest.

The people at the bottom are ignorant, but Viscount Conte naturally knows about the changes that are taking place in the Idar Territory.

But……

Not everyone has the courage to make changes at the risk of giving up their own interests...

The severe cold of winter has made the smell of feces that originally lingered in the air less strong, but compared with the environment of Idar City, Conte Territory seems a bit desolate...

Some time ago, the engineering team of Idarland dug a lot of drainage canals on both sides of the roads in Idar City according to Bruno's request.

The tops of those drainage channels are covered with neat cement slabs. Once there is a continuous heavy rain, rainwater can flow into the drainage channels through the gaps between the cement slabs, thus keeping the streets of Idarland clean and tidy.

However, in Conte...

The dirt roads all over the city are almost a mixture of feces and soil, and the small puddles that appear in front of Isabel from time to time make Isabel feel a little embarrassed.

The coachman responsible for driving Isabel was a native of Idar sent by Bruno, so... Isabel always felt that the appearance of the Conte leader in front of the Idar people made her face dim and dull. Let the Conte family lose face.

"Please...please, noble Lord..."

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a thinly dressed woman blocking his carriage and crying emotionally.

The woman looked skinny and pale, as if she was sick, which made Isabel's cheeks slightly moved...

Seeing this, Isabel nodded towards the maid beside her.

The servant knew it, and saw her stretch out her hand and hand over a few coins.

Not all nobles blindly exploit the common people, especially soft-hearted female nobles like Isabel. Whenever they see these poor people begging along the road, they will scatter some coins from time to time, which can be regarded as showing their kindness. , granting favors to civilians.

Looking at this familiar scene, Isabel fell into deep thought... If this was the Idar Territory, what would the young earl do?

but……

What’s surprising is…

The copper plate handed over by the coachman was not received by the woman. She cried: "Miss... I hope the lady will allow me to let the villain go to work in Moore Manor. I am a commoner, but I am willing to go to Moore Manor to work as a serf... …”

Hearing this, Isabel couldn't help but be stunned.

This woman stopped him not to ask for money, but to ask him to let her go to Moore Manor to become a serf?

Those are serfs!

In fact, not only Isabel, but also the servants following her could not help but froze there.

This was the first time they had seen someone voluntarily become a serf and voluntarily put their life in the hands of others.

"Moore Manor..." Isabel murmured.

As the overseer who promoted the cooperation between the Conte family and the Stuart family, Isabelle was one of the nominal managers of Moore Wines.

It's just... to be honest, because she has been busy studying advanced mathematics and teaching mathematics in Idarland, Isabel has never been to Moore Manor to find out in person.

"Take that civilian with you, let's go to Moore Manor and take a look..."

Isabel finally said.

…

Viscount Conte leaned lazily on the rocking chair in front of the fireplace, and the dancing flames in the fireplace heated the entire study.

The butler was explaining to Viscount Conte the income and expenditure in the territory this year, but...

After merging large areas of grape plantations and wine production workshops into the Moore Wine Industry, which was jointly established with the Stuart family, Conte's income on his books obviously suddenly lost a large part.

Because according to the agreement between Bruno and Viscount Conte, the profits of the Moore Wine Industry need to be settled on an annual basis and are not taxable, and around the "Day of the God of Light" every year, it is the time to distribute profits.

It's just that... perhaps because the sudden war has involved most of the energy of the Idar Territory, the profits made by the Moore Wine Industry have not yet been reported to the Idar people.

So much so that if one ignores the income from Moore Winery, Conte Ling would actually be unable to make ends meet this year.

"well……"

Viscount Conte let out a long sigh, and then said with great difficulty as if he had made up his mind:

"No one thought that things would develop to this point. If the threat of the Odin people really puts the Idarland's finances in a difficult situation...you have someone tell Bruno that the share of Conteland's share this year will be given first. If you don't have to, it can be regarded as helping the Stuart family..."

"It's just Master...according to the businessmen who come and go, the wine produced by Moore Winery is extremely popular in the Kingdom of Basel. This is a lot of money..."

"How much more can we get? After all, this is the first year of the establishment of Moore Winery. If it goes on for a long time, maybe we can really get a lot of profits, but everything has to have a process. I'm afraid this is going to require Idar The promise of a thousand gold coins can only be made up by receiving money from yourself. After all, that kid Bruno is the son of Old Adam..."

While talking,

Viscount Conte seemed to be caught up in the memories of the past, thinking about the time when he and Adam grew up together...

"Lord Viscount! Lord Viscount!"

While Viscount Conte was immersed in memories, a servant ran in unexpectedly.

"What are you doing? You're so reckless, don't you have any rules at all?"

The housekeeper frowned and scolded.

The servant finally realized his recklessness, trembled all over, knelt on the floor with a plop, and said cautiously:

"Master... Idar... the Idar people gave away all the dividends from the Moore Wine Industry!

Hearing this, Count Conte couldn't help showing a solemn expression and said:

"Sure enough... Although Bruno seems a little unsteady in his work, he is still a trustworthy person after all! The Stuart family must practice what they say, but I am not a guy who only cares about money. You go The people who came here said that the Idar Territory has had a particularly difficult time this year. Not only has it received a large number of refugees, but it has also tried every means to resist the threat of the Odin people. This year’s dividends to the Conte Territory will be waived for the time being!"

"But...but..."

"Just tell me what you have to say! Are you hesitating in front of the Viscount because you want to get slapped?" The butler rolled up his sleeves.

"But the Idar people sent a lot of money! It's like a big car!" The servant couldn't help but shrink his neck and gestured hurriedly.

"A big car?"

The housekeeper frowned and said, "Master, let me go and have a look!"

Viscount Conte nodded.

After a while, the housekeeper also barged in without warning.

"Lord Viscount! Lord Viscount!"

Seeing this familiar scene in front of him, Viscount Conte's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"If you have something to say, just say it..."

"Lord Viscount," the housekeeper calmed down his shocked mood before saying, "The share sent by the Idar people amounts to nearly three thousand gold coins!"

"But only three thousand...what? How many did you say?!"

Viscount Conte sat up from the rocking chair almost in a snap, without even noticing that the chair beneath him had been brought down.

"Nearly three thousand gold coins, to be precise, there are 2,724 gold coins..." the housekeeper said in a slightly trembling voice.

"How come there are so many?" Viscount Conte asked in shock.

"The villain doesn't know, but I heard from the Idar people that it seems that some promotional activities have stimulated the consumption of the nobles, but he doesn't know the specific measures..."

"More than two thousand seven hundred gold coins..." Viscount Conte murmured.

Such an answer sheet was more than three to five times more than what he had previously expected!

How can this be? !

Suddenly, Viscount Conte thought of his youngest daughter, Isabel, one of the managers of the Moore Wine Industry.

"Where is Isabel? Come to her, I have something to ask her."

Viscount Conte took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"It's just... Sir Viscount, do you want the dividend of nearly three thousand gold coins to be returned to Idar..." the housekeeper asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Viscount Conte suddenly felt his heart bleeding...

It's not that he doesn't want to give it, but the dividends from the Idar people are too much!

But I had clearly said no just now...

so tangled……

"You should ask Bruno yourself and just say...if Idar's finances are tight, these dividends can actually be paid later..."

Finally, Viscount Conte said.

…

The Conte Territory, located in the Moore Valley, is crossed by the Moore River and divided into two parts, one south and one north.

The lord's castle of the Conte family and the Moorish city are both located in the plain area south of the Moor River. Most of the people in the Conte territory are gathered here, and it is the most developed area in the Conte territory.

The Moore Manor, jointly built by the Stuart family and the Conte family, is located on the land north of the Moore River.

The King's Road, located on the north bank of the Moore River, connected the vast lands of the eastern and western parts of the empire.

Countless business travelers pass through this area every day, and pass through the Idar Territory, shuttling between the Norman Empire and the Kingdom of Basel. While bringing a large amount of trade goods to the two countries, they also bring a large amount of trade goods to the Idar Territory along the way. income.

Perhaps limited by the prevailing social concepts of this era, or perhaps in order to avoid the unstable factors brought by business travelers and mercenaries traveling from north to south to the rule of the Conte family, the conservative Conte family focused its business on on the land south of the Moore River.

It's just that... this is cheaper for Bruno and Idarling.

If you want to get rich, build roads first, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net This is the principle that Bruno has always adhered to, so... Bruno is full of questions about the Conte family's approach of building Moor City on the south bank of the Moor River away from the King's Avenue.

Black question mark.jpg

Through the establishment of the Moore Manor and the surrender of a small portion of profits, the Idar Territory obtained the right to garrison troops on the north bank of the Moore River, and the power of the Idar Territory finally stepped out of the Valley of Thorns and began to extend inland.

In fact, during the actual construction process, the area allocated to Moore Winery and Moore Manor far exceeded the original agreement, but Bruno believed that when Viscount Conte saw the high dividend, there would be no dissatisfaction!

Bruno is well aware of the nature of the imperial nobles, so...as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about.

The so-called Moore Manor is actually a grape farm covering an extremely large area, where the Idar people have built a series of supporting facilities.

It's just... When Isabel finally saw the endless houses before her eyes, she was a little lost.

Isabel is very clear about how barren the north bank of the Moore River used to be, but... under the management of the Idar people, after nearly a year of continuous development, a sizable town has been formed here!

The Idar people built towers and sentries here, and sent many well-disciplined soldiers to guard the safety of Moore Manor.

Therefore, even though there is no city wall here, Isabel still feels a particularly solid feeling.

do not know either……

How did Bruno do it...
