Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 326 In June, the church is completed! (Two in one! Please subscribe!)

The room was filled with smoke.

Julian Heaton leaned on his seat, gently holding a lit cigarette between his fingers.

He raised his hand and took another tentative puff.

Swallow it,

One spit.

Then……

"Cough cough cough!"

"Ahem..."

Julian Heaton couldn't stand the smell of smoke lingering in his nose and throat, and coughed violently.

For him, this batch of new cigarettes produced by Idar Cigarette Factory is really difficult to understand at a glance.

Not only does it make you choke when you inhale it, but it also causes coughing, nausea, and dizziness...

This made him very confused. Could this thing... really be sold?

"One more, do you have any more?"

Another voice in the room interrupted Julian Heaton's thoughts.

As he handed over a whole box of cigarettes, he asked doubtfully: "Don't you feel uncomfortable when you smoke it?"

"It's okay. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but... once you get used to it, it's just like that." Harley Santa Cruz sat in the corner of the room, puffing away smoke.

Ever since Ernie Mfira was dragged away from him by the hands of nobles from the southern part of Basel, Harley Santa Cruz felt chilled.

To know,

It’s not just Ernie Mfela who controls wine sales, there’s one other person, and that’s himself!

Harley Santa Cruz is a man who understands.

He knew clearly that the reason why he was so famous among businessmen was simply because he could create high profits for the nobles, bring a large amount of gold coin income, and satisfy the greedy desires of the nobles. desire.

But now,

The wine market originally controlled by the southern nobles has completely collapsed. Under their own management, the southern nobles have lost an extremely important financial source.

There is no doubt that what awaits you will be the terrifying anger from the noble lord!

And obviously,

Harley Santa Cruz cannot bear the noble lord's anger!

After all, the example of Ernie Mphela is right in front of you, so if you just sit back and wait for death, you will definitely not be able to escape.

Unlike Ernie Mfela, Harley Santa Cruz's mother died of illness six months ago, leaving him alone with no worries and completely able to find another way out.

so……

He chose his former rivals and fell into the arms of the Moore Wine Industry and the Idar Chamber of Commerce.

Although it sounds a bit shameful, for him, this is indeed the only choice.

Because except for these Idars from the Norman Empire, no force in the Kingdom of Basel will ever accept their existence!

"fine?"

Julian Heaton asked in surprise after hearing Harley Santa Cruz's comment.

In his opinion, how could this kind of cigarette, which only makes people cough violently and make them feel dizzy, get an "ok" rating?

"Maybe it's a psychological effect. I always feel that this thing can relieve my inner anxiety..." Harley Santa Cruz said with some self-deprecation.

Julian Heaton shook his head.

Although he himself doesn't know whether this thing can be sold, he also knows that his own preferences do not mean everyone else's preferences. Sales volume in the market is the best litmus test!

And as the Duke mentioned in his letter, no matter whether you sell more or less, the sale of cigarettes can be said to be a profitable business.

Even if the sales in the Kingdom of Basel are not satisfactory, you can still try to put it on the market of the Odin Empire!

"According to the assessment given by the Idar Chamber of Commerce, the primary sales groups of this cigarette should be craftsmen, adventurers, and mercenaries... and the social attributes of this product may help us open up the situation faster... cough Cough!" Before he finished speaking, Julian Heaton coughed again.

Seeing this, Harley Santa Cruz calmly put out the cigarette butt.

"If there is a way to get a villain, Sir Julian Heaton can just give you orders!" Harley Santa Cruz said quickly.

This is his self-recommendation.

Because Harley Santa Cruz clearly knew that although the Idar people had accepted his surrender, their investigation of him had never ended.

During this period of time, Julian Heaton never assigned himself any tasks.

This also made Harley Santa Cruz quite flustered.

Having nothing to do is not a good thing, it means that the Idar people have not yet trusted themselves, and their acceptance of themselves only remains superficial.

"Don't worry..."

Julian Heaton naturally heard the meaning of Harley Santa Cruz's words, but even so, he had no intention of leaving this job to Harley.

but……

Julian Heaton suddenly changed the topic and said in a deep voice:

"Speaking of which, although you don't need to interfere with the cigarettes for the time being, there is another thing I plan to leave to you."

Hearing this, Harley's heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly said: "No matter what you tell me, I will try my best to complete the tasks assigned by the Chamber of Commerce!"

I finally let myself wait for it!

From Harley Santa Cruz's perspective, the task Julian Heaton is about to give him is the certificate of nomination he needs to pay to join the Idar Chamber of Commerce!

"The plantations south of Basel are very unstable these days. I plan to let you go there and keep an eye on them." After pondering for a moment, Julian Heaton said calmly.

"where?"

Harley felt as if he had heard wrongly.

"The plantations south of Basel," Julian Heaton repeated.

"Plantation in the South?"

For a moment, Harley Santa Cruz felt completely stupid.

Although he had just joined the Idar Chamber of Commerce, Harley also knew that the Idar Chamber of Commerce had purchased a lot of land in the south of the kingdom and had established many rubber plantations and palm plantations around the southern coast of the Kingdom of Basel.

Harley Santa Cruz didn't know what rubber and palm were used for, but he knew the South was very unstable.

During this period, due to the tense relationship between the nobles in the south of Basel and the Idar people, the plantations of the Idar Chamber of Commerce in the south were the first to be suppressed.

It is true that when purchasing these plantations, the Idar Chamber of Commerce did not use its own name.

But after all, it is the territory of the southern nobles. It is almost impossible to hide it from the eyes of the southern nobles, not to mention that the southern nobles are simmering with anger!

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

The Idar people forcefully grabbed the wine market here from the southern nobles. This was enough for those greedy nobles to regard the Idar people as their lifelong enemies!

Therefore, setting off a few small fires and sending some "bandits" to harass them when they have nothing to do can only be regarded as routine operations.

Although they did not dare to cause damage in a big way, small actions from time to time also made the plantation that the Idar people had worked hard to build uneasy.

Of course, Harley also wants to contribute to the Idar Chamber of Commerce and the Moore Wine Industry. After all, this is a good opportunity for him to gain the trust of the Idar people.

But the problem is...

I came to defect to the Idar people because I was afraid of retaliation from the southern nobles!

If you let yourself go back and "stare", doesn't it mean that you will fall into the tiger's mouth again?

When he thought that the southern nobles might use various means to cause his accidental death, Harley seemed to have a premonition of his upcoming fate.

"Don't worry, I will send you a group of accompanying guards. If those southern bumpkins want to attack you, they won't succeed so easily!" Julian Heaton comforted.

only……

Harley keenly captured a certain key word in this.

It's not that easy... This means that although it is a bit difficult, I may still be hacked to death by the angry southern nobles...

"If the plantations in the south can run smoothly under your coordination, then I will recommend you to the Duke and transfer you to the Principality of Idar, away from the Kingdom of Basel, a place of right and wrong." Julian Heaton said made his own promise.

If you want a horse to run, you must not only let it eat grass, but also let it see hope!

For Harley, who has been frightened all day long, the conditions offered by Julian Heaton are extremely attractive!

Even though he is in the Kingdom of Basel, the glorious achievements and powerful strength of the Idar Principality have already reached Harley's ears. Once he can get the protection of the Duke of Idar, then he will no longer have to worry about coming from the Duke of Idar. The nobles of Basel are angry!

so,

After a very tangled weighing process, Harley finally gave a definite answer:

"Okay! I'm going to the south!"

Hearing this, Julian Heaton couldn't help but nodded: "Don't worry, those who will protect you will definitely be the good hands of the Idar Chamber of Commerce. Even if you get out of trouble, they will definitely avenge you!"

Harley:…

That’s right!

After Harley left, Julian Heaton's deputy pushed open the door and entered.

"Go back in person and tell the Duke that I need the military support of the Idar Navy or the Idar CIA." Julian Heaton's face looked a little unnatural.

Harley was well aware of the dangers he might face heading south.

But Julian Heaton is all about putting Harley in danger!

And it's not just danger, it's best to encounter murder, or even poisoning!

The petty southern nobles of Basel will definitely no longer be able to live in harmony with the Idar people, but sooner or later the Principality of Idar will need the rubber, palm and other tropical cash crops produced in the south of Basel.

This is related to the development and transformation of the Principality of Idar, and there is no room for sloppiness.

so,

Since those southern nobles do not intend to let the Idar people obtain the required industrial raw materials through trade, then Julian Heaton must find a way to get rid of those who obstruct the Principality of Idar!

And once Harley is murdered, it will undoubtedly provide a good entry point for the Idar people!

"Harley Santa Cruz, I hope you are a lucky man..." Julian Heaton murmured.

…

Time has entered June in a flash, and the temperature in the Principality of Idar has obviously become a little hotter, and the sunlight shining down from the sky has become even hotter.

but,

Perhaps because it is adjacent to the mountains, the sky garden is quite refreshing.

From time to time, he could tease the little maid and the little griffon, and provide extracurricular tutoring to Isabel when he had nothing to do. Bruno's life was quite pleasant.

The spring plowing season has long passed, and the earliest batch of planted grains is even ready to be harvested.

As the situation in the interior of the empire became increasingly anxious, the Principality of Idar showed a rare tranquility and peace.

During this period of time, Old Ford, Lobida and others traveled throughout the Principality of Idar and established several local administrative institutions that could operate smoothly on the newly collected land.

These local administrative agencies are equivalent to prefecture-level cities in the previous life, and there are many migrant worker communities below them, which basically play the role of uploading and distributing information.

Thanks to the efforts of countless Idar officials, order in the eastern part of the empire has basically stabilized, and most of the refugees who were originally traveling around have a stable place to live.

Although the lives of these refugees cannot be considered very good, at least they live peacefully and can support themselves with their own strength.

While the new people of Idar gradually stabilized, the progress of the construction of wonders in the Principality of Idar also made significant progress.

As early as more than a month ago, the towering Stonehenge had crossed the fast-flowing Solon River, and the fastest-moving engineering team had even built the magic transmission line to the southwest corner of the Dale Hills.

According to Bruno's estimation, it only takes half a year for the magic transmission line built from the magic crystal wires of Stonehenge to cover every corner of the Idar Principality.

At the same time, the Idar University located on the south bank of the Idar River has also completed its design and entered the preliminary construction stage.

You must know that Idar Public University is, after all, a custom-made wonder that Bruno has high hopes for to impact the [SSSSS] rating. It cannot be built solely by relying on the ready-made drawings provided by the system.

therefore,

Under the industry infighting of countless great engineers from the Kingdom of Basel, a brand new university drawing that incorporates many wonders such as Oxford University and the Library of Alexandria was placed in Bruno's possession after repeated revisions. On the table.

This drawing can be said to be the crystallization of all the wisdom of many great engineers of this era. Even the budget required to build the university far exceeded Bruno's original imagination.

This is no longer just a matter of winning. UU Reading www. uukaｎshu． net The budget required to build Idar Public University has even more than tripled!

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Bruno has only created [SSS]-level wonders so far. He wants to create a 5S-level squeezed peanut...

wrong!

It's a bit unreasonable to create a 5S-level wonder.

Therefore, Bruno can only rely on increasing the budget to push up the spectacle rating as much as possible...

Anyway, after Bruno's "flying geese plucking" tolls, the Norman nobles still had plenty of tolls to pay to the Principality of Idar. At most, half of them could be spent in one fell swoop.

But having said that, although the budget for the construction of Idar Public University has increased, the construction of Hagia Sophia has basically been completed.

According to Bruno's estimation, in a few days, Mundell should rush into the root with Mike to announce the good news himself.

I have been reading charts and books these past two days to recharge myself, but I stopped doing that today.
