Chapter 619: industry

Obviously, Lawrence and Bach had done a lot of preparations before they moved here. At least the goblin phantoms released by Lawrence carefully inspected the entire room and found that the various daily necessities in the room were all ready.

Even the kitchen has fresh food that can be eaten by two people for three days. Soon, the phantoms of the goblins got busy quickly and began to tidy up the entire villa.

But Lawrence and Syfiel stayed in the study upstairs and looked at the materials in the boxes that Bach gave them.

Different from the group of managers on the bright side, as the son of the housekeeper Rena, the core staff and a small team of Bach as the earl were secretly dispatched here in order to obtain this industry more objectively. Overall situation.

"It seems that our farms are developing well." After reading that part of the report on agriculture, Syfel whispered to Lawrence.

"This time, the total number of farms for us is more than 80,000 hectares, and many of them are high-quality farms that can be irrigated along rivers or irrigation canals.

"But these farms have a long fallow period. After all, there are not so many mountains in the surrounding areas to block the wind, so the ground temperature throughout the year is not high, not to mention that there will be a short period of ending in winter. ."

After taking out a record of the surrounding environment from a pile of documents, Lawrence shook his head and said. "This is far inferior to our New Sauer Island. At least the farmland on New Sauer Island can be harvested three times a year if it is well taken care of."

"And those farms are not only far away from the Great Lakes, but also separated by several mountains. Therefore, the average temperature in winter is even three or four degrees lower than here, and in summer it is five or six degrees higher.

In addition, although those farms can be irrigated, because the rivers are small rivers with insufficient flow, the irrigation effect is not very good. "

"Well, the information on my side also shows these." Saifeier flipped through the pile of documents in front of him and then took out a few copies and said to him.

"According to these documents, only 13 of these farms have been used for the development of plantation in history, and the crops are mainly barley, rye and potatoes. Only winter wheat is the only place with a small amount of sufficient water."

"But I think that since I took over more than a month ago, the planted varieties have been revised in the new year, and the land previously used for growing barley, rye and potatoes is used to grow corn and a small amount of hops."

"Yes, this is the new development direction for these farms after I discussed with the priests of some agricultural churches. After all, it is different from the original situation where these farms belonged to multiple warlords. Now all these squares belong to us. So it is natural to have an overall plan." Lawrence nodded and said.

"For example, I have previously provided some information about Qingchu to the agricultural church. Compared with the south, the cold north actually needs this information. Unfortunately, the speed of the spread of various knowledge is too slow. As a result, I don’t even know this kind of very meaningful technology in the breeding industry."

"Naturally, it is impossible for me to give up this kind of technology, so I chose the most suitable corn for green storage as the plant to grow. Besides, there is such a big market in this area, and it is too wasteful to use that land to grow potatoes. So in addition to maintaining the original animal husbandry, I plan to develop beer brewing here."

"Beer brewing industry, is there a market for this thing?" After hearing this, Safir raised his head on the pile of documents and asked.

"If I remember correctly, beer can only be stored for about a month without using Extraordinary Power. Do you think we can find enough markets around it?"

"Ha, the Great Lakes region is one of the largest industrial areas in the Federation, and consumes hundreds of tons of beer. How could there be no market." Lawrence said with a smile after listening to Syfiel's question.

"And I did a special survey before, and it turned out that there are only two very ordinary breweries in the area occupying less than 15 of the market, and the remaining 45 are basically brewed in private by each bar."

"Among these private brews, some can be said to be very top-notch. For example, the moonlight beer brewed by the elves in the Crescent Bar in the city center is definitely the top-grade of the top-grade.

But this kind of very good quality private wine is only a small part, and most of it is some rancid water that is not much different from horse urine. "

"So the brewery I am building is aimed at the local ordinary people. Although the quality is definitely not as good as the special beer made by the elves or dwarves, compared to some inferior private brews, I think our wine It just happens to be able to occupy the entire mid-range beer market in the Great Lakes region."

"For this matter, I specifically discussed with Eugene and hired three professional dwarf brewers from their volcano family as technical consultants for my brewery."

Lawrence said as he took out a bottle of beer in a green glass bottle from the cabinet next to it, filled it with two or two glasses, and then took out a glass to Syfiel.

"Taste it, this should be the first batch of trial-produced products. I only heard from a few people who sent over that this wine is not bad, but I haven't drunk this."

"I think—this wine is okay." After taking a look at the clear glass filled with amber liquid, Safir first took a sip and tasted it, then took another sip and made it. Commented.

"Although I haven't drunk beer much, I think that beer like this one that has some herbal aroma should be a good beer."

In this world, beer and spirits are a kind of beverages that can be said to be exclusive to men on the human side, and women basically do not drink them.

For women, the alcoholic beverages they drink are often various sweet rice wines or fruit wines. Therefore, Safir had only secretly drank some of his father's beer out of curiosity when he was a child. .

However, as an extraordinary person, it is not difficult to simply identify certain alcoholic beverages. Even if Syfiel's transcendent level is not high, and she hasn't drank beer several times before~lightnovelpub.net~, but she finally gave this beer the same evaluation as Lawrence found a few dwarves before.

Of course, when the group of dwarves commented, they also claimed that the beer that Lawrence brewed this time was too weak.

However, considering the heavy taste of the dwarves, the beer that is just right for them may be the kind of high-alcohol craft beer for ordinary people. Although it is not ruled out that some people will like the heavier beer, but then the audience will be much smaller than the previous Lawrence plan.

"Those people here are contacting several bars for experimental sales these days, but there is not much statistical information coming." Lawrence also said with a sip of the beer in his glass.

"However, the results of our previous experiments with workers in several food processing plants are very good. At least after drinking these drinks, 70 adults are willing to pay for two or three times a week to have a mouthful addiction when they know the price."

"That said, your new industry is really good." Saifeier put the glass of beer on the table and said. "But what about those old industries? I read the previous table showing that we had spent a lot of money here to upgrade the factory, saying that it was to update the product."

"To be precise, it is not to update the product, but to launch some new products." Lawrence also put the wine glass on the table and said, "It's like a beef cannery that doesn't need new products because the original products are already very good. , Just think of a way to find cheap tropical spices for them."

"After all, canned food itself is a new product, and it is now in a state of short supply. So we don't need to change this industry in a short time."
