Chapter 52: Business Ideas

At this time, more than a month has passed since the day of controlling Gorburg and summoning Sergeant Moreland, which means that winter has come for more than three full months, the cold is about to pass, and the sun that is getting bigger and bigger in the sky is also coming. foreshadows this.

In more than a month, two junior blacksmiths in Gorburg weaved a total of five sets of chain armor. At this time, Leiner's finances were almost exhausted, and there was no point after the salary was paid this month and next month. money.

For a lord, being unable to pay soldiers and officials is a huge blow to his majesty, prestige, and prestige.

Reiner didn't want this kind of thing to happen, so he immediately sent people to take the five sets of chain armor to the interior of the empire to sell them.

If nothing else, based on the price of military supplies within the empire, these five sets of chain armor can be sold for twenty-five silver coins.

In addition, Reiner also hopes to find some other sources of income to ease his financial pressure. The salary of 72 gold coins per year, plus other expenses, is the income of Fort Moreland for seven years.

Lumbarre and his father Codd were ordered in the face of danger, and they were demolished by Reiner with these five sets of full-body chain armor, as well as the animal skins that had survived from the past, and the spoils from fighting the Klads and Baron Robbean. bring.

He hoped that this time the sale would bring him huge profits so that he could afford to support these troops.

But he also knows that it is not the right way to always produce equipment in the territory and sell it.

He had to find a way to make the business in his territory prosperous. For example, there were some commodities with such high profits that could attract businessmen from all over the empire to Fort Moreland.

At that time, Lena can build taverns or hotels, and the locals will also trade with these foreign businessmen because they see business opportunities, so that the economic development of Fort Moreland can be stimulated. He doesn't run any business by himself, so the taxes he draws from the territory alone can support the army of the system.

But it's too early to say. He has to get through the difficult situation before he can think about how to develop his business.

Lumbare and Sir Codd brought fifteen Moreland sergeants and five Scarlet Gryphon Knights, and they were the first to wear the armor designed by Reiner.

Although they themselves wear a full body of chain armor as protection is already very heavy, but after all, their physical fitness is one of the high-level arms evaluated by the system as extremely high, and wearing a set of 18 kg iron armor is not enough. on something.

As a knight, although he can't be said to be calm because of his age, Lumbare is definitely quite reliable. In addition, his steady father, even if he is not safe, the chance of accidents is not high, let alone Lena He also sent five Scarlet Griffin Knights to accompany him. He didn't know what kind of danger would cause the team to have an accident.

This is not a fuss over a molehill by Leiner, he really has to be cautious, if something unexpected happens, maybe the system will sell something of his own, maybe even sell the castle to it.

The Ridka Empire has a huge territory, spanning 1,100 kilometers from north to south, and a full distance of 800 kilometers from east to west. If calculated at a speed of 25 kilometers per day, the team will have to travel for about a month. Able to reach the imperial capital Lymand.

At this time, Reiner is also looking for things in the system that can help him make money, but those things that can make money quickly require extremely high prices, and the remaining 100 merit points of Reiner are simply not enough.

He looked helplessly at the exchange mall in the system, looking for things that he could exchange and make money at the moment.

"Silk weaving workshop, price: 15,000 merit points"

Lena continued to look down without even thinking about it,

Just kidding, for 15,000 merit points, you have to kill 15,000 people to get it, not to mention that he doesn't know anything else, but he still knows that silk needs to be spit out by silkworms, and he has no silkworms now. , Second, without technology, even if there are silkworms, they will be blown to death by the cold wind in the north, which is not suitable for me now.

Reiner looked through more than a hundred items, technologies and workshops, but none of them could help him. He even wanted to give up this idea, and waited for some merit points to be exchanged.

And at this moment, Reiner, who was about to give up, suddenly had a bright light in his eyes.

"Ice sugarcane is a hunger-satisfying plant in the frozen land. The frozen land that is in severe winter all year round is not suitable for most plants and animals to survive, but the residents on the continent have discovered ice sugarcane, an edible plant full of sugar and starch. This allowed the residents of the frozen continent to see a glimmer of light in the darkness, relying on iced sugarcane soup powder and starch, they raised animals to supplement protein, and used iced sugarcane to supplement sugar and starch to survive.”

"Ice sugarcane seeds 500 (unit: mu) are sown in summer and harvested in the spring of the next year. Exchange price: 80 merit points"

Looking at the introduction of this iced sugarcane, Reiner seemed very excited. Although he grew up in the city, he is not lacking in trying. He reads those historical YY novels on weekdays, making soup, brewing wine, drying salt, etc. Of course, the money-gathering weapon of the three traversers is known.

Even if it is as developed as the 21st century, the sugar needed for people's life is extracted from sugar cane and sugar beet, and sugar cane must be grown in tropical or subtropical regions because of its high environmental requirements. Beets are also warm-loving but cold-tolerant, but in the final analysis, the sugar content of sugarcane is still much higher than that of beets.

Now the ice beet, an incredible plant from another world, appeared in front of Reiner's eyes. It was a bright future, not to mention that it not only provided sugar, but also contained starch, which meant that vermicelli could be made?

Reiner's mind began to wander to nowhere, and he immediately exchanged the 500-acre unit of ice sugarcane seeds, planning to sow them as soon as summer came.

And there are ten bags in Leiner's warehouse, that is, 2,000 mu of cold zone wheat seeds. The yield of this kind of seeds is much higher than that of the grain grown in Fort Moreland now. It is estimated that the yield per mu can reach hundreds of kilograms. With the addition of manure, it may be even higher.

After solving the economic problems in the territory, Reiner felt much better. Humming a song, he hugged two little maids, and each of them took a sip of incense on their faces, enjoying this decadent and extravagant feudal aristocratic life.

At this time, Sir Codd, Lumbare, and Sir Valas have left the range of Fort Morland, and are rushing to the inland of the empire where the spring is already blooming in the snow. Return to the territory and bring the money back to solve the financial crisis.
