Chapter 194 Alice's Advice (Month

But no matter how strange it is, Gevis is not a stingy person. He was ready to send some for Alice, but he arrived in the morning and had not had time to pick it up before he could get it out of the convoy, so he was delayed.

"Yes, how about it, it tastes pretty good!"

Gerves is full of confidence and pride for wine. After all, he made this different version of wine based on his childhood memory. He is now a pioneer of this world, contributing to the aristocratic life in this world.

Alice did not answer Gevis immediately, but looked up and down carefully, her husband who had only met twice. To be honest, Alice was really curious about Gevis now.

Originally, he was just the second son of a little baron, but he never did things according to the routine, killing monsters, and making ice. Now he has even invented this wine that can almost create a money empire.

This made it difficult for Alice to associate these great things with the Gervis who was somewhat worthy of beating in front of her.

Do you want to say he is excellent? He used to be a waste of cultivation. Although he has improved now, he is a bit uncontrollable in any way, such as fake unicorns and personal maids.

If you say it is not excellent, wine alone can spread his reputation throughout the continent. I heard that he invented some golden oysters. Although he has never eaten it, Anna is so proud of it. And he can use this technology to exchange for gold coins. It is a rare delicacy, which can completely prove a person's excellence.

"I heard you are going to sell these wines for 10 silver coins per pot?"

Alice did not deny Gervis's question, and it was considered to be accustomed to the deliciousness of the wine.

Of course, if Gervis hadn't angered her today, Alice wouldn't have been stingy with compliments, after all, this wine really made her a little intoxicated.

Lina brings Anna at noon.

Through inquiry, Alice learned a lot from Anna about what Gevers did in Storm Corps.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Anna, because in Anna's perception, Alice is the wife of her adult, her mistress, and her wife asks about her husband. As a servant, she should of course answer. There is no need to hide it, and everyone in the entire castle knows these things.

Anna admires Gervis very much. When facing Alice's questions, she basically chose Gervis's most outstanding and most worthy of praise.

For example, making ice cream, inventing grilled oysters, and wine, etc.

At first, Alice didn't believe that Gevis had invented wine, but after Anna insisted that Alice took Anna to find the residence of Gevis' subordinates skeptical, and took a pot of wine from the carriage. After tasting it, she had to believe that Gevis had really invented a new wine.

This wine is many times better than beer. The wine is purple and red, and it looks noble, with a strong taste of sweet wine. When I taste the wine for the first time, Alice knew that it was a product that was about to be popular on the whole continent.

"Yes, in order to make more people drink wine as much as possible and afford wine, I priced at 10 silver coins, so that I can make small profits and make quick turnovers. Moreover, the cost of gold wine is not high. As long as the energy source is constantly sold, I can develop my territory by relying on wine."

When Gevis saw Alice ask these questions, he couldn't help but be more serious.

Gevis guessed that since Alice specifically mentioned the price to herself, she must have any suggestions or opinions.

Alice was born as a great nobleman, and her vision is not comparable to that of Geweis. After all, Geweis was an ordinary person in his previous life, let alone this life.

"Your idea is right, but you underestimate the wealth of the nobles and even underestimate the value of wine!"

Alice indeed had objections to Gervis' pricing and pointed out Gervis' cognitive errors directly.

"In this world, except for the church, the nobles control all the land and all resources. I know that your father has put your Gael family in trouble because of his purchase of the royal blue elves, but there are only a few examples like your father."

"The reason why the Gael family is in trouble can be said to be because of your father's kindness."

"Your father's territory is a fertile piece in the Earl of Jones. It is very suitable for cultivation in both weather and land and water. The crop yield is also high, but your father did not increase taxes. This is the main reason why the Gael family fell into gold coins."

"Did you know that there are three lords around your father, who are as fertile as the Gaelic Collar, but they live a better life because they charge another layer of taxes than your father!"

As he said that, Alice glanced at Gevis, and saw that Gevis looked at him in amazement, so she continued: "Of course, I admire your father's qualities. I tell you this. It is not to ask you to go back and ask your father to increase taxes, but to tell you that aristocrats like your father are only a few, and most of them are very rich. They will never be wronged. Even if the serfs are about to starve to death, they can still live a luxurious life."

"That's a big deal. It turns out that I ate salted fish ham for a month and my own cheap daddy."

After listening to Alice's words, Gevis's three views were destroyed. Gandalf turned out to be a lord who loved the people as much as his son, which was somewhat unexpected.

In fact, the big reason why Gevis deviated from the cognition of aristocrats was the month when he traveled through time and lived in Gandalf Castle.

Gervis traveled through time and did not have a good life for a month, and then he ran to the remote Storm Corps, which made Gervis think that five of the ten nobles in this world were not as rich as Gandalf, and they would have to save up for several years to buy something more expensive.

There is a regulation on taxation in this world, that is, a minimum limit is set, which is also established to prevent some noble lords from maliciously robbing serfs. After all, for lords, population is a crucial resource. If there is no minimum limit, low taxes can be used to attract serfs to surrender.

Gandalf uses this minimum tax. Although it is the minimum tax, the tax is actually not small. It just means that with the land status of Gandalf's territory, with an additional layer of tax, the serfs will not starve to death. It is much better than the serfs in the Gerves territory, because they can cultivate double-season crops and add second-tier taxes in time, which can barely achieve the living standards of serfs in the Storm.

Who would have thought that Gandalf, who looks like a big and strong man, is a kind lord.

"The wealth of nobles, you can take a walk in Winterfell when you have time, but I tell you that although the nobles in Winterfell are rich, they are still not as good as the capital. The capital is the real place of wealth."

"Do you know the taste of beer?"

After popularizing science, Alice changed the topic and asked Gevis directly, which led to Gevis, who admired her cheap father from her thoughts...

"Of course I know, but you need to mention Alice. I invented the golden wine. I am very confident about how it tastes. Just tell me just how much is the right amount of this golden wine!"

Alice said so clearly, and Gevis also understood that she had underestimated these noble masters.

In fact, Geweis saw a clue from the auction at the Snowy Manor during the day. The nobles were able to take out a gold coin for an uncertain note, and even bid for dozens or hundreds of gold coins by the elves auctioned. If Geweis continued to sell these 2,300 pots of wine at the original price, the total value would be only 230, and it would be estimated that the rich man would be able to make a fortune.
