Chapter 488: Good Harvest (Part 2)

"Hehe, my lord, this year's situation. At first glance, it is another bumper harvest year, and all the women in my family are saying how good you are, my lord!" The driver in front said with a smile.

"Oh? What did you say?"

"Since our lord became an adult, in the past two years, the tax has been lighter than before, and there have been several bumper harvests. Together, we can not only eat enough, but also have some surplus food. My eldest son also married early. After a few years, the smaller one will also marry a woman, and the big family will be even more lively." The driver in front said with a smile.

Among the people who have always been close to the leader, there are many coachmen and personal servants, and this world is no exception. Romon's exclusive coachman is this person, and they meet every day. This person is not as restrained as ordinary leaders when they see Romon .

In addition, when he was young, he was also a warrior who had cultivated to the level of the three poles. He was physically strong, generous and enthusiastic, so he had something to say to Romon.

certainly. This is only the first generation. The next generation of grooms, that is, this man's son, must receive vocational education. Later, he will become a hereditary coachman, and the rules will be different.

"If the leaders didn't work hard, they wouldn't have such a good harvest." Romon said in a good mood.

Soon after turning the fields in Panshi Town, Romon ordered: "Go to the small mining town."

"yes."

The carriage turned around and headed towards the small mining town that had been upgraded from a village to a town.

The scale of the small mining town is even larger than in previous years. The city wall has been rebuilt, not only heightened and thickened a lot, but also expanded a lot outward, making the town larger and the construction inside even more Very brilliant, the current mayor of the small mining town is Romon's former subordinate, the Knight of Haiwawei.

As a knight and the captain of a well-known adventure team, this man in his thirties has management and combat abilities that ordinary people don't have. It is perfect for him to manage the small mining town.

When Romon arrived at the small mining town in a carriage, Haiwawei was personally directing the harvesting. His short jacket was covered with a lot of mud, but he didn't care, chatting and laughing with some elders. It fully demonstrated the heroic character unique to an adventurer.

In front of them, the farmland is being harvested, and a large amount of golden wheat has been harvested. It is already certain that this year will definitely be another bumper harvest!

"When the harvest is over, I'll invite everyone to drink! Let's have a good celebration!" Haiwawei looked at such a lively and busy scene, and his mood was extraordinarily comfortable. He said loudly, fulfilling the responsibility of a mayor who grew up from an adventurer !

"it is good!"

"Hurry up, everyone!"

"There will be wine to drink,

That's great! "

All the farmers cheered, and their work became more vigorous.

"Mayor Haiwawei, someone is looking for you." At this moment, an attendant rode over and said softly in front of Haiwawei.

Haiwawei recognized that this was the attendant of the Viscount's mansion in Panshi Town, and when he looked again, there was an ordinary-looking carriage parked a little farther away. There were several attendants in front of the carriage, so he knew who was coming.

"Well, I got it. This is the end." Haiwawei walked towards the carriage after explaining a few words to the agricultural chiefs, and when he came to the front, he saw the curtain of the carriage raised, and Romon sat inside and smiled: "Come in and talk."

"Yes, my lord." Hearing what Romon said, Haiwawei stepped forward and got into the carriage without any hesitation. From the outside, the carriage looked very ordinary, but inside it was luxurious and spacious. Haiwawei sat with him, drinking juice and talking about things, and it didn't look crowded at all.

Romon came here to inspect the harvest, and Haiwawei told Romon one by one about the autumn harvest in the small mining town.

Romon nodded again and again: "Knight Haiwawei, you did a good job. I just heard that you want to invite the peasants to drink. When these things are settled, I will also invite you chiefs to drink."

"Then thank you sir first!" Haiwawei's eyes lit up when he heard that he was drinking the good wine that Romon himself treasured.

He knew that Romon, who has special wine-making skills, has very good skills in wine-making, and his family has a lot of fine wines, which he rarely takes out, but this time he is willing to take them out, thinking that he can taste them good wine. Haiwawei, who was born as a heroic adventurer, couldn't be happier.

Of course, if you look deeper, drinking is a minor matter, and a good relationship with your lord is the most important thing.

After leaving the small mining town, Romon rode in a carriage and came to the forest home not very far from the small mining town.

The land between the small mining town and the forest house belongs to Romon and is part of Tetasio Territory. Such a large piece of land is full of golden wheat fields, and many farmers are harvesting in the fields. , those wheat fields that have not been harvested, under the breeze blowing, gently swaying, like the undulating golden ocean.

Looking at the busy but happy farmers, Romon sat in the carriage, and seemed to be connected with them, having the same sense of happiness and joy.

After that, he stopped for a while at the forest house, where a large number of olive trees have matured and the olives are in harvest season.

"Your Excellency, you are here." In the scene of collecting ripe olives. An official was commanding carefully, but when he turned his head, he saw his lord appearing, and he was a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just looking around casually, you should do your work first." Romon smiled and said to the official.

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing Romon's calm attitude, the official continued to direct the crowd to collect olives. Seeing the baskets of fruits being filled and carried away, everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces.

When the official retired to rest, Romon smiled and asked, "How is the olive harvest here? How much oil can be squeezed? Have you counted it?"

"My lord, there are statistics." The official replied respectfully. He's in charge of this olive grove, so it's all documented.

"Oh? Tell me." Romon sat down on a nearby rock, and the official also sat beside him under his invitation.

Seeing that Romon wanted to know the statistics on this aspect, he immediately stated the number he knew: "My lord, last year, the olive grove was bearing fruit, and this year officially started a bumper harvest. Each mu of olives can produce 800 kilograms of fruit. Every 100 kilograms of fruit can produce 25 kilograms of virgin oil, so 2,000 mu can produce 400,000 kilograms of oil."

"400,000 kilograms of olive oil!" Hearing such an astonishing figure, although Romon knew that the olive harvest would be good, he was still shocked, and asked again: "The olive oil workshop, can it be in time? "

"My lord, I have been rushing to work day and night, and I think it can still work."

"Well, build two olive oil workshops in the small mining village." Romon instructed.

"Yes, my lord!"

400,000 kilograms of virgin olive oil, equivalent to at least 300,000 kilograms of essential oil, is worth at least 500,000 silver coins. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and encouraged the official, and Romon was going to go to Treasure Island to have a look.

Treasure Island also has 2,000 acres of olive trees, but they have to wait five or six years before bearing fruit.

However, farmland and crystal fruit can be harvested. Thinking of this, Romon immediately returned to Panshi Town by car, handed over these matters on the territory to Nick, and rushed to Treasure Island by boat.

"Huh?" Only then did he discover the port area of ​​the island. It has become very prosperous, and a large number of shops have opened here.

Thinking of the business invitation notice posted some time ago, Romon sneered, knowing that the decree had taken effect, and a large number of businessmen flocked to the territory. Thinking back to what Nick told him a few days ago about the financial surplus, The pressure he had originally been thinking about this incident dissipated quite a bit.

Along the way, caravans and carriages went back and forth between the port and the field roads.

The influx of merchants not only brought a prosperous scene, but also prompted many freemen and merchants on the island and Yuanfan Town to come to buy houses, settle down and set up shops. The population of the territory suddenly increased, reaching an unprecedented prosperity.

Similarly, in the farmland, there are harvesters everywhere, and the people who work here are all refugees from the interior of the disaster. They have been living in dire straits in the past, and they didn't enjoy the days of peace until they came to the island.

Looking at the big harvest on the island, they knew that this year would be a year of abundance, and their love for the lord immediately rose to a new level.

"My lord!" Seeing Romon, they all saluted.

Romon also waved his hand.

Arrived at the crystal fruit harvest area.

According to experience, high-grade fruits are deeply welcomed by nobles and rich people, and they are an indispensable embellishment for noble social occasions.

The color of the crystal fruit is like crystal, and the taste is sweet and refreshing. As long as it is marketed, it may not be sold.

Of course, crystal fruit also has problems. The biggest problem is that the production period is limited and it is not easy to preserve. It must be stored under strict conditions to preserve it for a long time.

Seeing the crystal fruits being picked one by one, Romon instructed: "Pack them all up and send them to the lord's warehouse, where there is a special natural insurance formation."

"Yes, my lord!" the man replied.

This is actually a false appearance. There is indeed a small natural magic circle there, but it consumes too much power. It must be maintained by Druids from time to time. Romon will not leave it on for a long time. No spoilage there.

A few days later, all the olive oil on the island had been squeezed out, and the price of this batch of golden liquid could be as high as 500,000 silver coins even at the lowest price in the market.

Everything was as Romon expected, this batch of golden liquid was immediately sought after by merchants, and half of them were sold within a week.

What's more, thirty boxes of crystal fruit were sold out quickly. When merchants buy olive oil, they don't mind trying to save face and taste this fresh fresh fruit.

As a result, it was very popular as soon as it was tasted. For the nobles and rich, the taste is very fresh and luscious.

As a result, a batch of orders were placed, and three hundred boxes of crystal fruit were sold.

There are still 300 boxes left, and Romon doesn't mind, after all, it's the first sale, and it will be even better next year.

In fact, there are many fruits in Shennongjiao, but it is impossible for Romon to take them out. The reason is very simple. Although this crystal fruit has never appeared before, and the quality has been improved through Shennongjiao, it is undoubtedly a species in this world. Check it out Just find out.

And the fruit produced out of thin air is very troublesome.

After returning, I prepared to go to the capital.

"My lord, here are one hundred jars of olive oil. All of them are sealed in high-quality jars. Each jar is ten kilograms of oil." An official loaded a hundred jars of olive oil into the carriage and came to report to Romon. : "There are also ten boxes of crystal fruit."

"Thank you, let's go down." Romon said.

"yes."

After the other party went down, Romon stood on the steps and stared blankly at the white clouds floating in the sky for a while.

These one hundred jars of olive oil are a gift he prepared for the king, and he will take them to the capital in a few days, because they are gifts for the king, and the jars are beautiful and elegant.

Olive oil is very precious, and it doesn't look shabby to use as a gift. As for the ten boxes of crystal fruit, it comes with it.

Romon turned around, just in time to see Alini approaching, and gently embraced her: "Why did you come out?"

"You're going to go out again in a few days, and I want to stay with you for a while." Alini said softly, "I'm also very happy to see that the development of the territory is getting better and better. Don't worry about going out, I will help you Take care of your home."

Six months pregnant, she has added a bit of maternal color, she said with a smile.

If there is a wife like this, what can the husband ask for?

Luo Meng embraced her, thinking secretly, and fell silent for a while. (!)
