Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 57 Idar is in full swing

Bagasse can also be used to make paper!

This news almost made Bruno ecstatic. In the neighboring Kingdom of Basel to the south, sugar cane production is extremely common, and after sugar production, the remaining bagasse has no use.

Bruno can make paper by buying bagasse from the Kingdom of Basel at a low price!

What makes Bruno even more fortunate is that the place where large-scale sugar cane production is carried out is the Kingdom of Basel and not the Norman Empire, which can avoid a lot of trouble for Bruno.

After all, even if the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel one day realize that a large amount of bagasse has entered the Norman Empire through the Mann Fortress, they may not be able to find out.

Because Bruno was a noble of the Norman Empire, not the Kingdom of Basel.

If he is dumping goods or purchasing raw materials to the Norman Empire, Bruno will be very cautious and dare not make any announcement, because there are many great nobles in the Norman Empire. If someone covets Idar's goods, many people will be born for no reason. Trouble.

But Bruno doesn't have to be afraid at all when selling goods to the Kingdom of Basel and purchasing raw materials.

Because the Kingdom of Basel was at least nominally a vassal of the Norman Empire, it sent envoys to pay tribute to the imperial royal family every year.

And imperial nobles like Bruno are obviously a step above the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel.

What's more, there is also the Mann Fortress that lies between the Idar Territory and the Kingdom of Basel. The nobles of the Kingdom of Basel will never dare to engage in war without permission.

Therefore, in addition to regularly delivering goods to Kallio and stabilizing the original sales channels in Idarland, Bruno does not plan to sell a large amount of goods to the Norman Empire in the short term.

One is because the water in the Norman Empire is a bit deep, and the various relationships are intricately connected. If you are not careful, you will damage the interests of the great nobles; the other is because with the current production capacity of Idar, even the Kingdom of Basel If the market we own cannot be fully satisfied, there is no need to wade through troubled waters domestically.

As a noble family that has taken root in the Idar Territory for nearly a hundred years, the relationship between the Idar Territory and the successive imperial generals who guarded Mann Fortress is quite good.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Bruno to open a trade route to the Kingdom of Basel.

It’s just that Count Idar has never done this before...

In Bruno's view, this is very puzzling. After all, as a border count, Count Idar, although the land he rules is not considered rich, his degree of freedom is much higher than that of the nobles near the center of the empire.

Not robbing, not smuggling, not doing business, in Bruno's opinion, this is simply guarding a cornucopia but doing nothing.

In order to enrich the capital chain of Idarland as soon as possible, Bruno sent people to the Kingdom of Basel to purchase bagasse and ordered his servants to start making distiller's grains.

After all, neither papermaking nor distilled wine can be made immediately. Both require a series of preliminary preparations such as fermentation.

In this way, only after the official construction of the roads between Idar Territory and Mann Fortress is completed, these two commodities will be able to have enough inventory to directly open the market of the Kingdom of Basel.

…

In these days, the wounded soldiers recovered fairly well. Because Bruno paid special attention to the sanitary conditions, no wounded soldier died due to wound infection without alcohol disinfection.

If we follow past practice, it would be considered good if half of the dozens of injured soldiers survived.

This is undoubtedly an eye-opener for everyone, and many people think that...as long as the living environment of the wounded soldiers is cleaner, casualties can be avoided to a large extent.

In this case...if my residence was a little cleaner, wouldn't I be able to die if I got sick, and wouldn't I need to see a doctor?

Therefore, under Bruno's deliberate propaganda, the civilians in Idar City once again launched a cleaning craze.

For a time, the face of Idar City took on a completely new look.

Although the houses in the city are still dilapidated, they are not as dirty as they were at the beginning.

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and spring is coming back to the earth.

With the establishment of the ownership of the Glen Highlands and the end of the war between the Sauron Territory and the Idar Territory, everything in Idar is back on track.

The original eight production teams fully shouldered the burden of road construction. With the help of cement, a new product, the road construction process went very smoothly.

For the serfs who were extremely ignorant, cement was simply a creation of the gods and a miracle!

Since the cement production method needs to be kept strictly confidential, and the person who makes the cement must also be a close confidant, Bruno deliberately built the first cement workshop in Idarland near the Cape Saltworks. In this way, The original saltworks guards can also take care of the cement workshops.

Therefore, all these serfs had access to was cement that had already been made.

You only need to spread the cement evenly on the roadbed that has been smoothed by the serfs. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net After a few days, the cement can be completely solidified.

The solidified cement is as hard as rock, natural, and very solid to walk on, much easier to walk on than the original dusty country roads.

More importantly, you can still go on the road even if it rains, and you no longer have to be bothered by the wet mud on the dirt road.

In addition to the road to the south, the construction of the Namur Fortress in the north has finally begun.

Three hundred serfs plus more than three hundred prisoners, more than six hundred people were working enthusiastically under the supervision of Idar soldiers.

Bruno also promulgated a series of reward and punishment measures. Although good work can be pardoned as a civilian, the upper limit of various rewards is lower than that of the eight production teams in the south.

After all, these people were originally civilians from the Sauron Territory, and they still need to be observed for a while.

But even so, all kinds of treatment are much better than Sauron.

Next to the Namur Fortress, a new cement workshop is being built. Because the distance between the two construction sites in the south and north is too far, and transporting cement back and forth takes too long, it is better to build a new one directly.

However, this gave Anel a headache.

Because the heating array used in the blast furnace for firing cement is easily scrapped after a period of use, Anel had to rush back and forth between the two workshops, becoming a tool man.

So much so that the research on enchanting weapons and improving the magic circle had to wait until late at night, so he kept shouting to Bruno for a salary increase.

But what surprised Arnel was that Bruno readily agreed to his request and even doubled his monthly salary.

…

Thanks to "Ten Years of Dreams" for the reward!

Go, go, go!
