Chapter 488: Harvest (Part 2)
"Haha, sir, this year's situation is obvious. It's another harvest year. My women are talking about your goodness, sir!" The coachman in front said with a smile.
"Oh? What did you say."
"Since our lord became an adult, the taxes have been lighter than before in the past and several bumper harvests have been raised. In this way, we can not only eat enough, but also have some surplus food. My eldest son also married a woman early. After a few years, the younger one also married a woman, and the whole family will be even more lively." The coachman in front said with a smile.
Among the people who have always been close to leaders, there are many coachmen, personal servants, etc. This world is no exception. Romon's exclusive coachmen are this person. When they meet every day, this person is not as restricted as ordinary leaders when they see Romon.
In addition, when he was young, he was also a warrior who had reached the third level of cultivation. He had a good body and was generous and enthusiastic. He still had something to say to Romon.
Of course, this is just the first generation, the next generation of grooms, that is, the son of this person, must receive vocational education and become hereditary coachmen in the future, and the rules will be different.
"If the people who lead themselves don't work hard, they won't have such a good harvest." Romon said in a good mood.
Soon the fields in Panshi Town were transformed, and Romon ordered: "Go to the small mine town."
"yes."
The carriage turned and headed towards the small mining town that had been upgraded from a village to a town.
The size of the small mine town is larger than in previous years. The city wall has been rebuilt. Not only has it been raised and thickened a lot, but it has also expanded outward, making the area of this town larger and the construction inside is even more outstanding. The current mayor of the small mine town is Romon's former subordinate, Knight Haiwave.
As a knight and a captain of a well-known adventure team, this man in his thirties has management and combat capabilities that ordinary people do not have. It is perfect for him to manage the small mining town.
When Romon arrived at the small mine town in a carriage, Haiwawei was personally directing the harvesting matter. He was wearing short clothes and was covered with a lot of soil, but he didn't care. He talked and laughed with some elders, fully demonstrating the heroic character of an adventurer.
In front of them, the farmland is being harvested, and a large amount of golden wheat is being harvested. It is now confirmed that this year will definitely be another great harvest!
"When the harvest is finished, I will invite everyone to drink! Celebrate it well!" Haiwawei looked at such a warm and busy scene and felt particularly comfortable. He said loudly, fulfilling the responsibilities of a mayor who grew up from an adventurer!
"good!"
"Everyone, do it!"
"It's great to have some wine to drink!"
All the farmers cheered and were more motivated to work.
"Master Haiwave, someone is looking for you." At this time, a servant came over on a horse and whispered in front of Haiwave.
Haiwawei recognized that this was the attendant of the Viscount Mansion in Panshi Town. When he looked again, there was a carriage that looked very ordinary, and there were several attendants following him in front of the carriage and he knew who was coming.
"Well, I understand, let's go." After explaining a few words to the farmer, Hevavi walked towards the carriage. When he walked up to him, he saw the curtain lifting. Romon sat inside and smiled: "Come in and say."
"Yes, sir." After hearing Romon's words, Hevavi was not embarrassed, and stepped directly and got on the carriage. The carriage looked very ordinary from the outside, but it was very luxurious inside. Hevavi sat with him, drinking juice and talking about things, and it was not crowded at all.
Romon came here to inspect the harvesting matters, and Haiwawei told Romon one by one about the autumn harvest in the small mine town.
Romon nodded repeatedly: "Knight Haiwave, you did a good job. I just heard that you want to invite the farmers to drink. When these things are done, I will also invite you officials to drink."
"Then thank you sir!" Hevavi's eyes lit up when he heard that he was drinking the good wines that Romon had treasured.
He knew that Romon, who had special winemaking skills, had good skills in winemaking, and his family even had a lot of fine wines. He rarely took them out, but this time he was willing to take them out. He thought that he could taste good wine, and was so happy for Havavibetti, who was a heroic adventurer.
Of course, if you look deeper, drinking is a little bit difficult, and it is the most important thing to have a good relationship with your lord.
After leaving the small mine town, Romon took a carriage and came to the Forest House, which is not very far away from the small mine town.
The land between the small mine town and the Forest House belongs to Romon and is part of Tetasha. Such a large area of land is full of golden wheat fields. Many farmers are harvesting in the fields. The wheat fields that have not yet been harvested are gently swaying under the breeze, like a fluctuating golden ocean.
Looking at the busy but happy farmers, Romon sat in the carriage, and seemed to be in harmony with their hearts and had the same sense of happiness and joy.
Afterwards, he stayed in the Forest House for a while, where a large number of olive trees had matured and the olives had reached a harvest season.
"Sir, you are here." In the scene of collecting ripe olives, an official was carefully directing him. When he turned around, he saw that his lord had appeared and was suddenly nervous.
"Don't be nervous, I just take a look. You can do your best first." Romon said to the official with a smile.
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that Romon was calm, the official continued to direct everyone to collect olives. Seeing the baskets of fruits filled and carried away, everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces.
When the official stepped down to rest, Romon asked with a smile: "How is the olive harvest here? How much oil can I squeeze? Have you counted it?"
"Sir, there have been statistics." The official replied respectfully. He was the person in charge of this olive grove, so there were records.
"Oh? Tell me." Romon sat down on a stone next to him, and the official also sat next to him.
Seeing that Romon wanted to know the statistics about this, he immediately said the number he knew: "Sir, last year, the olive forest had fruits, and this year it officially started a bumper harvest. Each acre of olives can produce 800 kilograms of fruit, and every 100 kilograms of fruit liters can produce 25 kilograms of virgin oil. Therefore, two thousand acres can produce 400,000 kilograms of oil."
"400,000 kilograms of olive oil!" Hearing such amazing numbers, Romon was still shocked, and asked again: "Can the olive oil workshop be too late?"
"Sir, I've been working day and night, and I guess I can still run."
"Well, build two olive oil workshops in the small mine village." Romon said instructed.
"Yes, sir!"
The 400,000 kilograms of virgin olive oil can be converted into at least 300,000 kilograms of essential oil, which can be worth at least 500,000 silver coins. I couldn't help but feel happy. After encouraging the official, Romon was about to rush to Treasure Island to watch.
There are also two thousand acres of olive trees on Treasure Island, but you have to wait five or six years before you can produce fruit.
However, the farmland and crystal fruits can be harvested. Thinking of this, Romon immediately took a car back to Panshi Town, handed these things on the territory to Nick, and took a boat to Treasure Island.
"Huh?" Only then did he realize that the port area of the island had become very prosperous, and a large number of shops were opened here.
Thinking of the investment notice posted some time ago, Romon sneered, knowing that the law had played a role, a large number of merchants flocked to the territory. Looking back on the fact that Nick had told him a few days ago, the pressure caused by this incident disappeared a lot.
Along the way, caravans and carriages traveled back and forth on the harbor and field roads.
The influx of merchants not only brought about a prosperous scene, but also prompted many free people and merchants to buy houses and settle down in the islands and Yuanfan Town to buy houses and set up shops. The population in the territory suddenly increased, achieving an unprecedented prosperity.
Similarly, in the farmland, there are harvesters everywhere, and those working here are refugees from the inland disaster. They have lived in dire straits in the past, and they have not enjoyed peace until they came to the island.
Looking at the great harvest on the island, they knew that this year would be a year of prosperity, and they immediately fell in love with the lord and went to a higher level.
"Lord!" Seeing Romon, they saluted one after another.
Romon also waved his hand to express.
Arrive at the harvest area of crystal fruit.
According to experience, high-end fruits are deeply harvested from the welcome of nobles and rich people, and are an indispensable embellishment for aristocratic social occasions.
The color of the crystal fruit is like crystal, and the taste is sweet and cool. As long as you sell it, you will not be afraid of no sales.
Of course, there are also problems with crystal fruits. The biggest problem is that their delivery period is limited and they are difficult to store. They must be stored under strict conditions before they can be stored for a long time.
Seeing the crystal fruits being picked off, Romon instructed him: "Case them all and send them to the lord's warehouse where there is a special natural insurance array."
"Yes, sir!" the man replied.
This is actually a false appearance. There is indeed a small natural magic array there, but the power consumed is too great. It requires druids to be maintained at all times. Romon will not be open for a long time. When he gets there, he will receive it in the Shennongjiao space, which will not deteriorate there.
A few days later, all the olive oil on the island was squeezed out. Even if this batch of gold liquid is calculated at the lowest price in the market, the price can be as high as 500,000 silver coins.
Everything was as expected by Romon. This batch of gold liquid was immediately sought after by merchants and sold in half in a week.
Moreover, thirty boxes of crystal fruits were sold out quickly. When merchants bought olive oil, they didn't mind selling face and tasted this fresh fruit.
As a result, it became very popular as soon as you taste it. For the nobles and rich, the taste was very fresh and sweet.
As a result, after a batch of orders, three hundred boxes of crystal fruit were sold.
There are three hundred boxes left, and Romon doesn't mind, after all, it will be better next year after the first sale.
In fact, there are many fruits in Shennongjiao, but Romon cannot be taken out. The reason is very simple. Although this crystal fruit has not appeared before and has been improved by Shennongjiao, it is undoubtedly a species in this world. It can be found out once you check it.
And the fruit produced out of thin air is very troublesome.
After returning, I was preparing to go to Wangdu.
"Sir, these are 100 jars of olive oil, all of which are sealed with good jars, each jar of ten kilograms of oil." An official loaded 100 jars of olive oil onto the carriage and came to report to Romon: "There are also ten boxes of crystal fruits."
"Thank you for your hard work, go ahead." Romon said.
"yes."
After the other party went down, Romon stood on the steps and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky for a while.
These hundred jars of olive oil were gifts he prepared for the king. He would take them to the capital in a few days because they were gifts to the king, and the jar was beautiful and generous.
Olive oil is very precious and does not seem shabby to be used as a gift. As for ten boxes of crystal fruits, it comes with it.
Romon turned around and happened to see Elini coming over and gently embraced her: "Why are you coming out?"
"You are going to go out again in a few days. I want to stay with you for a while." Alini whispered: "I am also very happy to see the development of the territory getting better and better. Don't worry, I will help you take care of your home."
She was six months pregnant and had added a bit of denominator color, she said with a smile.
If a wife is like this, what else can the husband ask for?
