Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 35 Winter Trivia

For Bruno, the long winter days are boring and boring.

Bruno does not need to worry about the training of new recruits, and someone is fully responsible for the construction of the hanging garden. The sugar workshop is operating normally, and the salt output of the Cape Saltworks is also constantly increasing.

Everything is developing steadily and for the better.

Therefore, Bruno's life these days is extremely dull.

Every morning I have to sleep until I wake up naturally, then I eat something casually and start scribbling on the parchment.

The memories of the previous life must always be written down, otherwise Bruno is worried that as time goes by, some advanced craftsmanship and techniques may be forgotten by him.

Bruno felt that he had done more serious things recently, which was not consistent with his original "prodigal son" personality, so he made the chef of the Lord's Castle an honorary knight.

But it must be mentioned that this newly promoted knight does have a high talent for cooking. He quickly figured out the secrets of stir-fry, and within a few times he was much better than Bruno's stir-fry.

Bruno originally wanted to do more things in the winter, such as trying to set up a paper-making workshop, or building more fishing boats to go fishing, or repairing the roads in Idar.

However, these plans that should have flowed smoothly were hampered by money.

The investment in the Hanging Garden and the standing army has been somewhat overrun. The construction of the Hanging Garden alone requires nearly a thousand gold coins every month. If it were not for the strong income from sea salt and sugar, the average earl would have been forced to declare bankruptcy and stop work. .

The original budget for building the Hanging Garden was about five hundred gold coins per month, but in order to complete it as quickly as possible, Bruno recruited more serfs from Idar and expanded the number of production teams to fourteen.

The cost of a standing army is naturally huge. Money, food, grass, and manpower all need to be carefully calculated and considered.

Compared with these huge expenses, the money required for Shabi to collect feces suddenly seemed much less.

The various new expenditures left Bruno without enough gold coins to spend on other gadgets for a while, so he rarely settled down.

Since the people sent out to buy sugar beets have returned with full loads and have found a stable supply of sugar beets, the output of the sugar factory has gradually stabilized. The monthly sugar output can be about 400 kilograms.

In fact, for a workshop, this kind of output is a bit low, but Bruno has no plans to expand production in the short term.

Because at this stage, there is only one type of person who can afford to consume sugar, and that is the nobles.

The reason why sugar maintains a priceless trend is entirely due to the serious imbalance between supply and demand.

If a large amount of white sugar floods into the market, it will not only cause the price of white sugar to drop, but also make people doubt the source of the white sugar.

The principle of beet sugar production is not complicated, at least the production of brown sugar should not be difficult to discover.

Once this huge role of beets is discovered, the cost of purchasing beets will increase significantly, which Bruno does not want to see.

After all, at least so far, sugar beets are not very widely distributed in Idar, and it will take a lot of time to plant them in large quantities.

He doesn't want to see his supply of raw materials strangled by others.

All the salt ponds in the Cape Salt Farm have been put into use, and the area of ​​the salt ponds is gradually expanding.

Seawater sun salt is greatly affected by climate change, and the salt production in winter is generally lower than in summer.

But even so, Idar's sea salt production has tripled this winter.

However, Bruno's normal day was broken by sudden news.

A large magic crystal mine was discovered in the Armis Mountains!

When Old Ford told Bruno the news, Bruno was basking in the sun in the castle with nothing to do.

After hearing what Old Ford said, Bruno almost jumped up from his chair.

That's a magic crystal mine!

No matter which world he is in, anyone who dares to say that he has a mine at home is not a simple person.

It often means wealth, power, connections and deep development potential.

Bruno has been in this world for a long time, and his understanding of the world in front of him has become deeper and deeper, so he has heard about the magic crystal mine for a long time.

In this world, anything related to magic is extremely precious.

The magic crystal mine naturally falls into this category.

Magic crystal is a special ore that is an indispensable boost for most mages.

It has many functions, and the most direct and common one is that it can be used as a small blue bottle to restore mana to the mage.

Of course, the so-called small blue bottle does not mean that it can directly provide magic power for the mage to cast spells, but that the magic crystal can act as a container for storing magic power.

It is really just equivalent to a bottle, but this bottle can contain pure magic power, which will greatly reduce the consumption of the mage's mental power when casting spells.

With full expectations, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Bruno immediately asked Old Ford to lead the way and ran towards the Almis Mountains himself.

The magic crystal mine is located on the mountainside of Almis, deep in a dense forest. It was accidentally discovered by a serf of the production team while chopping trees and wood.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Bruno announced that the serf who discovered the magic crystal vein would be released as a civilian, and gave this lucky serf a house in Idar City.

This house was originally the property of a gangster, but the gangster who had changed his mind and turned a new leaf donated his house without hesitation in order to wash away his heavy sins as soon as possible.

When he heard Bruno's reward, the serf felt his whole body trembled, and his heart started beating wildly.

So... he was released as a civilian?

The serf's face was full of disbelief. Even though he knew that the earl was a kind man, he originally thought that he would only be rewarded with a piece of white bread or a few copper coins, but he did not expect...

You...are you free now?

"Although you have become a civilian, you are still a member of the production team. You have to work on the construction site before the sky garden is completed..."

"You understand!" the serf said repeatedly.

"However, since you have become a civilian, you will naturally be paid for your work on the construction site, so just like other civilians, you can receive fifteen copper coins per month."

"Thank you... thank you, sir..." The serf stammered excitedly and kept thanking the earl for his grace.

…

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Reunion and joy for the whole family!
