Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 96

Not only Bruno, Carlio also attaches great importance to this plan to sell sea salt.

After all, this was the first mission he accepted after joining the Idar Territory, so Kallio regarded it as an important opportunity to prove his worth and vision!

And seeing that the count not only readily agreed, but also praised himself very much, Kallio's mind gradually became more alive.

"My Lord Earl, after I came to Idar Territory, I drank two kinds of spirits in a tavern in the south of the city, named vodka and whiskey. I think these two high-strength spirits may have a very broad market. , can you try to hand it over to the Idar Chamber of Commerce for sale?" Kallio tried to seek Bruno's opinion.

"I just handed over the Chamber of Commerce to you and you learned how to do things for yourself?"

Bruno glanced at him with a half-smile, which made Kallio look embarrassed.

"It all depends on the count's orders..." Kallio explained quickly.

"There is no need to worry about the sale of spirits. Since even you think that selling spirits will make you huge profits, don't others think of it? There is indeed spirits in Idarland, but the problem is... …Can Idarland always have such strong liquor?”

Bruno's words indeed make sense, but Kallio still feels very pity: "But if it is only sold in the tavern in Idar, the sales volume is really limited..."

"So, while you are running the Chamber of Commerce, you should also send someone to the Kingdom of Basel to explore the way."

"The Kingdom of Basel?" Kallio said in surprise.

"Could it be that...my lord, you want to sell these spirits to the Kingdom of Basel?"

Bruno smiled and said nothing.

You only think about the second floor, but actually I am on the fifth floor!

Selling spirits to the Kingdom of Basel was actually Bruno's original idea.

After all, the distance between the Idar Territory and the Kingdom of Basel is much closer than the distance between the Idar Territory and the imperial capital, Saint Lawrence.

Similarly, selling spirits to the Kingdom of Basel will inevitably let other nobles in the Norman Empire know the news that Idar is selling spirits, but from the time the news came out to the confirmation of the news, how could it be necessary? Less than half a year.

And this little half a year is enough for the Idar collar to develop for a long time.

Furthermore, after the Odins launched an attack on the Norman Empire, how could those nobles have the thought to cause trouble for the Idar Territory.

As Bruno's understanding of the world became more detailed, he gradually discovered other benefits of opening up trade routes in the Kingdom of Basel.

But if he told it in a eloquent manner, it would inevitably lead to suspicions of too many words. Therefore, Bruno asked Kallio to go down first and went to discuss the preparations for the Chamber of Commerce with Lópida.

Although Kallio has left, Kallio's words about the war in the northern border of the empire still linger in Bruno's ears.

This is not because of how good his analysis is. After all, if Bruno had this information, he should be able to analyze it.

What made Bruno frown the most was that a mere ordinary businessman was so much better informed than himself!

Although the merchant has traveled a lot and is well-informed, you must know that he is a genuine noble! There were so many spies under his command, but no one reported and sorted out the information.

This also made Bruno deeply aware of the Idar Territory, or the garbage-to-explosion intelligence gathering capabilities of this era.

Before Idar took the lead, there were always spies. Before the Battle of the Glen Highlands broke out, most of the spies from the Idar Territory were concentrated within the Sauron Territory, providing Bruno with information about Sauron Territory's army movements.

Now, the spies of Idar Territory have been sent out to promote the good life of Idar Territory to the civilians of other noble territories (see Chapter 63 for details), thereby deceiving more common people to come to Idar Territory. settle down.

However, most of these spies were just small-time workers. They put a few silver shillings and copper coins on their bodies and started wandering around the tavern.

And he doesn’t know how to hide himself at all, and he doesn’t even understand what insinuations mean, so he just shouts that he is a spy...

It's not that Bruno didn't know how backward the Idar Territory's intelligence system was, it was because those spies were enough to deal with a mere Sauron Territory.

Moreover, Bruno is also afraid that he will grow too fast and get involved. If he invests in developing the intelligence system, it may cause the Idar Territory's funds to be tight and affect the construction of the wonders.

Therefore, Bruno had always turned a blind eye to the extremely backward intelligence network of the Idar Territory, and it was considered okay if it could barely be used.

However, Kallio's arrival sounded the alarm for Bruno. Idar's intelligence system really needed to be rectified...

Perhaps it is not possible to develop the Idarling intelligence system in one step at the beginning, but the necessary training and the most basic structure can be implemented and established as soon as possible.

The road must be walked step by step, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Food must be eaten bite by bite, and building an intelligence system does not happen overnight. Bruno is still very clear about this.

Moreover, as the situation changes, although the dynamics of the Odin Empire and the Norman Empire will not directly affect the Idar Territory, they will also indirectly affect various parts of the empire.

If the war situation continues to deteriorate, the Idar Territory, which is also a vassal of the Norman Empire, may also be dragged into the quagmire of the war.

The pirate threat faced by the Idar Territory has reproduced the severe situation in the northern part of the empire today, and Bruno feels like his head is getting big.

If you have nothing to do but fight, can't you just let yourself knock on the wonders in peace?

"Liszt," Bruno called.

"Follow your orders..."

"Prepare a letter and write it to the Regent Council, saying that after the Idar Territory suffered a long-planned attack by the Sauron Territory, it was also attacked by pirates from the Kingdom of Basel. The people of Idar suffered heavy casualties, and the new The planted rice was also set on fire, and most of the serfs responsible for boiling salt with seawater were kidnapped by pirates. The people under Idar were miserable... In short, it was as miserable as you can write, and then finally asked the Regency Council for help, and the serfs Money comes to everyone,” Bruno said.

Since you have suffered a disaster, you must repay it as serious as it is. If you report it more seriously, you may get more benefits, and you won't suffer any loss anyway.

Furthermore, if the war in the north becomes tense and it is necessary to summon local lords to bring private troops to support the battle, the Idar Territory will have a reason to shirk...

I'm so miserable, and you want to drag me to fight?
