"Struggle in the Age of Steam(

After discussing with Viscount Doropia about the results of his previous inspection and having dinner, Lawrence declined the invitation of the Viscount's family to stay with him, and then returned to the hotel where he lived in a carriage. As soon as he walked out of the door of the hunting manor, Nora's complaining sounded in Lawrence's mind.

"If you know that this time it's related to the gods, we won't be in the muddy waters this time." Nora's tone is not very good, because he is a divine creature, so his understanding of gods can be said to be very good. In-depth, so naturally a little dissatisfied with Lawrence now agreeing to this matter. "Especially the remuneration that your aunt gave you on behalf of their family is too little compared to the trouble you may encounter now."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Lawrence reached out and patted the doll's hand lightly, then comforted. "Don't forget that my aunt is a standard traditional nobleman. In other words, the remunerations she has previously offered are just the basis of a minimum standard. As the difficulty of completing the task further increases, she will also increase her remuneration. of."

"Seriously, I was actually quite happy after I heard that the current situation is related to the gods, because if we just follow the original standards and simply solve the problem of pests and diseases, then the rewards he gave me should only be what she said before. Those. Although there are a lot of them, they do not meet my needs."

"But now, as the problem becomes more complicated, they will definitely increase their compensation to me. After all, with my identity and the complexity of the current problem, they have to pay a premium when they pay. Therefore, I think I am now I can get a satisfying harvest through this matter."

"The problem is that your father said that this family is a standard warrior family. Although it is not bad in terms of extraordinary power, it is definitely not good." Nora offered a reason that she felt inappropriate. "In this case, even if they really want to pay you enough, they might not be able to find something suitable."

"No, I don't think so." Lawrence held a different view. "Although they don't have much power in terms of extraordinary power, as a noble, a noble with a long history and long heritage. The network of relationships they have is what is very important to us."

"Network, what's the use?" It was obvious that Nora was not very cold about the network of relationships between these nobles. "Don't forget, the cornerstone of this world is extraordinary power. If it is just the kind of interpersonal network between the nobles, although it cannot be said that it is useless, it is not as useful as another world."

"You are right, but I need them not because of myself, but because I need these relationships to develop my territory." Lawrence said, "Like our tea plan, we want to make those tea luxury If it’s good, then we must make these teas approved by the nobles."

"You are right." Nora didn't object to this view. "At least in the two worlds you have experienced, nobles are often regarded as people with top tastes. Even if the extraordinary in this world have great power, they can easily be regarded as outbreaks just like the rich in the previous life. Household."

This is the reason why both the rich and the extraordinary in this world choose to imitate those nobles when they want to show their taste. The Elysian Empire is located in the New World, but because of their ancient history in the Old World, they have always been considered the noblest and most orthodox empire in the Western world.

At least in terms of aristocratic history, only the aristocrats of Eastern Aurora can be compared with them in human society. The title of the Holy Visby Empire acquired by Lawrence has a slightly lower gold content than the title of the Erythion Empire.

According to Lawrence's adoptive father, Mr. Lambert, when Aunt Mia married here, the whole family felt very honored. Although marrying a viscount family as a daughter of an earl family seems to be married, the identity of the traditional nobleman of the Erythian Empire can smooth out this difference.

"So we want to promote tea. It must be the best choice to find this kind of ancient noble family to help promote it. Unfortunately, these nobles also know the importance of their family's reputation and don't easily help in this regard." Lawrence Explained, "And now, this is an opportunity."

"Because the pests in the cotton fields may be related to the gods, in this case, if we help them, we will naturally get a lot of favor from them, and relying on this favor plus the relationship between the two parties before. I can Let them help us in this matter."

"Didn't we find the church before? And the church also agreed to help us promote black tea." Nora asked another question. "If this is the case, then why should we go to these nobles and help us propagate? After all, after hearing what you said, I think it's a bit of a loss to spend favors in this place."

"No, it's not a loss." Lawrence explained. "First of all, if you hold this kind of favor for too long, it will turn the original kindness into resentment, so if you can use it as soon as possible, it is more appropriate to use it. Secondly, if we sell luxury goods, it is naturally excellent to have the help of the church, but it cannot be done alone. It's just the church's help, otherwise the effect will definitely be counterproductive."

Lawrence's worries are not unfounded. For example, there is coffee in this world, which was discovered by a group of adventurers in the western part of Yanzhou three or four hundred years ago. When they arrived, they found that the local herders were drinking a drink made by grinding plant seeds, so they brought the drink back.

Unfortunately, because the refreshing effect of this drink is too obvious. So at the beginning, in addition to adventurers in the wild, the people who drank this beverage were clergy and researchers of various religions. Especially for clergy and researchers, this beverage can make them pray and study. Stay awake at time ~lightnovelpub.net~ As a result, for a long time, coffee has been regarded as an exciting drink for scholars and religious people in the western part of the Old World. This has led to the fact that in this world, coffee is considered a functional beverage similar to Red Bull, and cannot be regarded as a high-end beverage.

The chain result of this is that coffee is generally sold as a kind of beverage in teahouses everywhere. Coffee-based cafes can only be found around churches or schools, and they are not mainstream. As for Lawrence, he does not want his newly developed black tea to become a functional beverage, because that would greatly reduce the market for this beverage and at the same time make Lawrence’s luxury plan completely abolished.

"According to my original plan, I originally planned to use the harvest festival in the future to promote black tea through our neighbors. Although everyone's knighthood is not high, and the nobles who can be assigned to the island are more marginalized. Kind of. But I think if we can pile up enough people, the publicity effect should not be too bad. Next, I will accumulate a little bit of word of mouth and slowly start our black tea reputation." Lawrence said of his previous plan.

"But now we have a better opportunity to put it in front of us. Although there may be a certain risk for us to solve those troubles, if we can successfully solve this trouble, the entire black tea promotion process can be greatly improved. Shorten, so that we can get more benefits as soon as possible."

"That is to say, wealth and wealth are in danger." The little doll accurately summarized Lawrence's current thinking. "If it is for the long-term benefit, I personally think it is worthwhile. Not to mention that this action is far from dangerous."
