The news of the discovery of the magic crystal vein was immediately ordered by Bruno to be tightly blocked.
If the profits from sea salt and sugar make people jealous, then the existence of magic crystal veins is enough for other nobles to covet them.
When the profit reaches 10%, they will be ready to take action; when the profit reaches 50%, they will take desperate risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample all laws in the world; when the profit reaches 100%, they will dare to trample on all laws in the world; when the profit reaches 50%, they will
At three hundred, they dared to risk hanging.
Marx’s words can not only be used to describe capitalists, but can also be used to explain the aristocrats of the Norman Empire.
The main reason why the dispute between the Idar Territory and the Sauron Territory over the Glen Highlands has existed for many years is because of the existence of iron ore in the Glen Highlands.
The value of magic crystal ore is obviously much higher than that of iron ore, which prompts Bruno to be cautious when making any relevant decisions.
Therefore, after Bruno marked the location of the magic crystal vein, he restored the surrounding area to its original state and then left with the people.
Now is definitely not the time to mine magic crystal veins!
Guarding a cornucopia but only looking at it but not using it made Bruno quite regretful.
But of course magic crystals need to be used by mages, but now there is only one mage in the entire Idar Territory, Anel, and he is still a mage apprentice.
Therefore, if mined at this time, the mined magic crystals can only be exported, which is not what Bruno wants to see.
The winter days are passing quickly, the snow on the top of Almis is gradually melting, and new life is gradually emerging on the vast land.
When a touch of new green appears on the branches and treetops, the New Year has arrived.
This is the most important festival in the Norman Empire. It is said that this is the day when the God of Light comes to earth and will bring new life and peace to the earth.
This year's Idar Territory has a completely new look. There is no longer dirty feces on the streets. The homeless in the city have also disappeared without a trace. They have all been incorporated into the new production team and have also received
Free housing (from fifty gangsters).
Bruno contributed funds to help the extremely poor families in Idarland renovate their houses and sent firewood and a small amount of black bread.
It is rare that Ford Lao did not raise objections to this expenditure.
The serfs who built the Hanging Garden finally got a valuable holiday on this day. No matter how much or how little their work points were, everyone could enjoy a fish soup and unlimited supply of black bread today.
The construction of the Hanging Garden resulted in huge expenditures, and the gold coins spent flowed out of the treasury of the Idar territory and entered the pockets of the common people of Idar.
For most Idar people, this is a rare good year.
With enough copper in my pocket, I naturally have spare money to buy some food. The fishing port in Idar has already prepared the fresh fish caught for today, loading ox carts at the port, and on New Year's Day
Arrive at Idar City on time.
On this day, many Idar people had their only full meal in years.
The aroma of delicious fish soup floats in the air of Idar City, echoing in the laughter of civilians and serfs.
With the circulation of currency, these copper coins used to buy fresh sea fish will once again return to the treasury of Idar City and Bruno's pocket, and then become the wages of civilians for the next month.
In this way, copper plates began to flow between the common people and the aristocratic class in Idar Territory...
This is a good start.
This is the first New Year that Bruno has spent in this world. It is impossible to say that he does not miss the past world, but now Bruno has calmly accepted his current identity.
Once it comes, make peace with it.
Today, he is not only the lord of Idar, but also the support of all Idar people.
On New Year's Day, Bruno held a grand banquet in the Lord's Castle, and almost all the officials of Idar were invited by Bruno.
Old Ford, the great butler of Idar, Shabi, the shoveler of Idar, Lobida, who is responsible for managing the fishing port and the Cape Saltworks, Sam Leighton, the captain of the Guards and the instructor of the standing army, Lister, the valet of Idar, and the valet of Idar.
All the officials, big and small, attended Bruno's banquet.
Even the captains of the fourteen production teams were allowed to participate, and serfs were allowed to attend the lord's banquet, which had never happened before.
The long oak table in the center is filled with a dazzling array of food, including golden fried chicken and a variety of stir-fried dishes. For most people here, the dishes on the long table are very unfamiliar.
However, only Liszt, Old Ford and a few other people know the secret of cooking.
As the captain of the third production team, Krell was also one of the fourteen invited production team captains.
He sat in the corner of the long oak table with some anxiety, and sitting opposite him was a real knight!
He actually dines at the same table with noble gentlemen. This is simply beyond Krel's imagination!
Bruno decided on the list of people to attend the banquet after deleting and editing it countless times. If too many serfs and commoners were invited to attend, Bruno was worried that it would cause dissatisfaction with other nobles in the territory.
Therefore, the best choice is to make subtle changes and boil the frog in warm water.
Fourteen serfs and civilians were just enough, barely within the acceptable range for everyone.
Although the participants of the banquet were different, the process of the banquet still followed the previous process.
First, Bruno, the Lord of Idar, made a brief speech, then Old Ford, Sam Layton and several other officials or nobles with important positions praised Bruno's achievements, and then everyone started to move.
However... Bruno's speech at the beginning shocked everyone present.
Bruno first expressed satisfaction with the progress of the Sky Garden and praised the eager cooperation and cooperation of everyone present. Then he said that the Sky Garden is just a small goal on Idar's path forward, and more and more wonders will appear in the future.
Within the scope of Idar Territory...
When he said this, Old Ford's body almost shook violently. He felt like the world was spinning and his limbs were cold...
A hanging garden will put the Idar territory's finances extremely tight. If there are several major projects in the future, Idar's treasury may not be able to bear it...
Andy, the master sculptor, and White Barrell, the person in charge of building the hanging garden, who were also invited to the banquet, were overjoyed. Sure enough, this is what the great earl should look like...
Andy suddenly had the urge to write a letter and call some old friends living in the Kingdom of Basel... There are a lot of people and money here, so come quickly!

Now I have a more Buddhist mentality, trying to see if I can save a wave next week. For new authors and seedlings, every vote and follow-up reading is important, that's it.
The possibility of being an eunuch is very unlikely. This book has been carefully prepared. I will continue writing it if I cannot be rescued.
