The days of sailing on the sea are actually not comfortable.

Therefore, when Bruno finally set foot on land again, he only felt particularly comfortable.

Goodbye, shriveled bread!

Goodbye, shaking cabin!

Goodbye, lovely blue carved golem!

Although the two ships went together when they went to the Français, when they returned, only the "Pioneer" was left.

Mar Cullen led the naval soldiers on the three-masted warship "Explorer" temporarily staying on the Français, and was responsible for collecting source rocks and exploring the islands as much as possible.

After all, since the Français, a piece of land outside the empire's territory, has been occupied by the Idars, the stationing of troops has naturally become a matter of course.

Although according to the laws and regulations of the Norman Empire, all newly opened land by the nobles should be owned by the imperial royal family, but in Bruno's view...

The paper I haven't signed is the **** in the toilet!

In the feudal era of the last life, people often said that the imperial power did not go to the countryside.

And in this world, the royal decree may only be unimpeded in St. Lawrence and a few nearby provinces.

If it weren't for the imperial emperor's constant grip on the military power, I am afraid that the Norman family Alexander family would have long since become the fish on the chopping board!

Therefore, the selective implementation of a part of the imperial laws in Idar is already a great honor to the royal family.

Moreover, these noble lords of the Norman Empire today, I am afraid that no one will enforce the laws of the empire in their own territory intact.

And for such treasures as the Français, Bruno would not let him go out anyway.

The reason why the Français has never been discovered, in fact, there is also a certain element of luck.

As the navigation technology of this era is generally backward, most of the ships on the sea are sailing on the coastline near the sea, and few ships will risk their lives in the deep sea.

I am afraid that only the Idars with the three-masted warship can travel freely in the deep sea.

Therefore, the Falange Islands, which are located in the deep sea, have never been discovered, making this extremely important maritime hub a piece of unmanned pure land, and leaving the abandoned ruins on the islands to retain their original appearance. !

Bruno retained the living habits from his last life, and when he came back from a long trip, he had to treat himself no matter what, and eat a delicious meal.

The sky garden was a little far away, so Bruno settled down in the lord's castle in Idar city.

While enjoying the food cooked by the fat cook, while listening to Liszt, Old Ford and others telling the many things that have happened in Idalling these days, it can be considered a pleasure.

Looking at the Lord Earl who was eating upright, Old Ford only felt a lot of emotion.

Even though everything in Idar has undergone earth-shaking changes under Bruno's leadership, but...

The Earl still has to take risks, personally go out to sea with the navy soldiers, and this...isn't this the selfless dedication of chivalry praised by countless nobles?

Although they have not yet been popularized on a large scale, potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes have been served on the tables of many officials led by Idar. From the daily diet to everything around them, in this short year, Bruno has brought too many changes to Idarling!

"Master Earl... I hope everything is careful..." Old Ford said pointedly.

This time, almost all the Idar officials present agreed with Old Ford's words from the bottom of their hearts.

Because everyone in the room knew that if Bruno had an accident, then Idal would really be in chaos.

"Okay, okay..." Bruno waved his hand before saying, "Isn't I back safely? But then again... What's new in Idalling during the time I left. Are you? Besides, is there any new progress in the war in the northern frontier of the empire?"

"Returning to Lord Earl..." The boss of the Idar Intelligence Bureau, Krell, bowed slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "According to the information received a few days ago, the battle situation in Northern Xinjiang is extremely anxious. After the nobles led, the offensive slowed down significantly, and the imperial soldiers who were loyal to the royal family also began to march north."

"Hmph, I really have a good calculation, and I'm not afraid to take it off accidentally..." Bruno's words revealed a lot of grievances.

Krell and many officials had to stand on the sidelines and did not dare to take the conversation at all. After all...

No matter how ridiculous what they did, it was the royal family. Although aristocratic lords like Bruno were qualified to complain, if they were also complaining about the royal family's actions, it would be a bit arrogant.

"The food made by the cook is getting better!"

The French fries that have been fried into golden yellow are quite gratifying. They are stacked one after another and placed in a basket made of wicker.

It looked a bit crispy from a distance, so Bruno couldn't resist the temptation of French fries after all, reached out his hand and grabbed a few of them and threw them into his mouth. Then he wiped his greasy fingers with a handkerchief.

Huang Chengcheng's French fries are particularly comfortable to chew. When you bite into it, a layer of oily shines on the crispy outer skin, exposing the particularly soft and waxy potatoes inside. Not only does it smell delicious, but it also has the unique sweetness of potatoes. .

Don't let the officials of Idar, including Liszt, be greedy.

"Cough cough..." Liszt coughed slightly and swallowed his saliva. Then Krell continued, "The war in northern Xinjiang provided Idar with a large number of displaced adults. The total population of Idarling is close to 40,000, which has quadrupled compared to a year ago!"

"I know, if I know, isn't there anything new? You can guess things like this with your eyes closed. After all, the wisdom and vision of this master is unmatched..."

"Besides... Viscount Conte came to Idarling a few days ago and is now living in the hanging garden at the foot of the Armis." Liszt added hastily.

"Viscount Conte?" Bruno looked suspicious, recalled for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered the old Viscount who lived west of Idalling.

And... in the memory of the original body, it seems that he has a special respect for this elderly Viscount Lord.

"Why did Viscount Conte come suddenly?" Bruno asked puzzled.

"It seems...it has something to do with the population that has flowed into Idarn these days..." Liszt said with some embarrassment.

After all... Liszt, as the head of the Idar Immigration Administration, is responsible for managing those immigrants.

"Population? Didn't the spies who were sent out in Conte?"

"It’s not what Idar’s spies said. Those who go to Idar from the west have to pass through the Moor Valley of Viscount Conte, so that the civilians of Conte also heard about Idar’s policy... …" Liszt said helplessly.

"How many have you come?"

"According to the statistics of the Idaran Immigration Administration, more than one-third of the civilians in Conteling have moved into Idarling in the past six months. When the autumn wheat is harvested, it is estimated that this number will rise sharply. Add a lot!" Liszt said truthfully.

After hearing this, Bruno only felt a little speechless.

It's no wonder that Viscount Conte came to find himself, but that is one-third of the civilian population, and nearly one-third of the tax income!

Thinking of this, Bruno only felt a pity. After all, Viscount Conte had been friends with the Stuart family for generations and was a firm political ally of Idalling.

Moreover, in many things, it also provides great convenience for Idarling, and it can't just be perfunctory.

Otherwise, if Conte is beaten to Fatty like a Sauron collar, there will be no such problems.

Looking at it now, more than half of the civilian population of Sauron has already poured into Idar, didn't Earl Sauron dare not even put a P?

"Liszt, go and invite Viscount Conte to see me..." Bruno pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said.

"Yes, Lord Earl."

...

After bathing and changing clothes, and then spraying a whole body of toilet water, Viscount Conte, who had washed himself well in advance, finally received the news from the lord’s castle and got on the carriage to the city of Idar.

Along the way, Viscount Conte only felt exceptionally refreshed, and the unique fragrance of mint made him exceptionally energetic.

This toilet water...what a good thing!

I don't know if such a good thing is sold for only one gold coin, whether the Idars can recover their capital.

Seeing the city of Idar in the distance, Viscount Conte became more and more excited.

He fantasizes about flying through the filthy streets with a fragrant fragrance, and the plain-clothed civilians around him widened his eyes, admiring his aristocratic spirit enviously...

I must be the brightest boy in the city of Idar today!

While Viscount Conte was dreaming about it happily, the carriage finally entered Idar City unhurriedly.

Viscount Conte, who was immersed in his own world, shrugged his nose, as if... he didn't smell the familiar smell of feces...

Is it possible that... the effect of this toilet water is so powerful?

I smell!

I will smell it again!

like……

I really can't smell the smell at all!

Viscount Conte finally opened his eyes that had been closed, and then... he saw a wide and spotless street.

Where's the feces?

Where are the dirty serfs?

There were people coming and going on the spacious streets, there were simple-clothed serfs, hurried civilians, and caravans driving horse-drawn carts full of goods. Although these people were tall and short, there were farmers and merchants...

But without exception, although they don’t look very wealthy, they are exceptionally clean. Even in the air, there is no unpleasant and familiar smell...

"Where is this?" Viscount Conte asked suddenly and endlessly.

"Master Viscount, this is Idar City." Liszt replied with a smile.

Viscount Conte looked at everything in the city blankly. The houses on the roadside had just been built. Although they were basically the same, they had a neat and uniform beauty.

As the forefront of the city of Idar, if you look at the newly renovated southern part of the city, I am afraid that the scale is definitely not below those large cities with huge populations in the western part of the empire.

Most of the newly opened shops are booming, and Viscount Conte even saw the shops selling mosquito coils mentioned by the servant a few days ago.

How did Idar change his appearance after such a short period of time?

Viscount Conte just felt puzzled at this time.

It’s as if everyone originally lived in a house with a leaky roof, but when I woke up, the neighbor next door had replaced it with a large villa of 1,000 square meters, but my own house was about to be ruined...

...

"Master Earl..."

In the lord's castle, Viscount Conte, dressed in a noble robe, performed a standard noble etiquette toward Bruno.

Viscount Conte can be regarded as an extremely traditional imperial nobleman. His every move is extremely in line with the aristocratic standards of life. His gray curly hair is neatly combed on the top of his head, and his chest is also wearing elegant ornaments that are very popular among nobles. The dignity of the nobility is fully displayed.

Although Viscount Conte is an old man over half a hundred years old, Bruno's earl title is placed here after all, so such etiquette cannot be exempted.

"Viscount Conte, how are you!" Bruno said with a smile, smelling the scent of toilet water on Viscount Conte.

"Sit down, sit down!"

Bruno motioned to Viscount Conte to sit down while bringing a bottle of whiskey.

This is because, according to some agreements, you may have to get Viscount Conte drunk before you can speak it out.

Although everyone is good buddy, it is absolutely impossible for Bruno to send him back.

after all……

How can the guy who has been in his pocket take it out at will?

"My Lord Earl..." After considering it for a moment, Viscount Conte said bluntly: "In these days, a large number of civilians who originally lived in Conte have been led by Idar..."

"Come and come, first try the whiskey of Idalling, this is a specialty of Idalling!" Bruno answered the question.

"This is... wine?"

Although Viscount Conte has come to Idalling for such a day, he has never seen spirits like whiskey.

After all, Viscount Conte can't ask him for accommodation fees when he lives here. Naturally, he can do whatever is cheap and convenient.

"Yes! This is a precious wine from Idalling! It is an excellent high spirit!" Bruno said.

So, in Bruno's shocked eyes, Viscount Conte actually gave him a mouthful!

After a while,

Viscount Conte licked his lips, and said with some aftertaste: "This wine... is really strong!"

Damn it!

I really didn't expect that Viscount Conte, who was always strong, would be so strong!

If this is a change of other people, I am afraid that after a glass of wine, it will be a little dizzy!

Soon, a whole bottle of whiskey entered Viscount Conte's stomach, but... the old Viscount still looked sober.

Therefore, Bruno had to give up the criminal idea of ​​getting Viscount Conte drunk first~lightnovelpub.net~This...Speaking of population..." Bruno paused, and then explained: "...You too I know that Idar has a vast territory and rich resources. The gap between the rich and the poor has led to the polarization of the population. The uneven distribution of jobs has caused the uneven distribution of the population. The influx of refugees has a certain impact on the social order and the income of civilians. The increase in the number of people makes them tend to have better material living conditions..."

Bruno Barabara said a big deal, but Viscount Conte didn't understand much, so he looked at Bruno with a smile on his face.

Lord Earl, you really can talk...

"So..." Bruno concluded: "It is estimated that there is no way to repatriate the people who have poured into the Idaran to Conte..."

"what?"

Hearing that, Viscount Conte almost didn't jump up from the seat.

"But... the money lost due to the large number of civilians leaving can be recovered by other methods, and even... it is possible that Conte will receive a large amount of tax!" Bruno said. .
