September is a good time to plant tulips.

In fact, tulips can be planted all year round, and the tulips planted in September will bloom in April and May after the low temperature in winter, and then the flowering period will last three to five months.

In order to plant these thousands of acres of tulips, the Idar Chamber of Commerce purchased a large number of tulip bulbs throughout the empire, especially in the north of the empire!

Due to the impact of this sudden war, the prices of flowers such as tulips and roses have plummeted.

Because when the war came, only food and gold coins could be regarded as heavy hard currency, and this also provided great convenience for Idar to take the opportunity to sweep the goods.

After all... Flowers like tulips can neither be used as food nor gold coins to maintain their value. Their only function is to be enjoyed by the nobles and lords on weekdays.

Enemies from the north will not let you off because the flowers you plant are beautiful!

Therefore, with the advent of war and the shortage of supplies, the price of bulbs will naturally plummet. I am afraid that the current market price is only about one-fifth of the usual price.

Probably the same is true for Shengshi Antiques and Chaotic Times.

In fact, Bruno has a slightly different idea about the cultivation of tulips, and this inspiration comes from those source stones.

After the directional improvement of the residual divine power on the Falang Islands, the internal structure of the magic spar has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has become a special spar that can spontaneously absorb the magic elements free in the air-the source stone.

At the same time, many plants growing on the Français are more or less different from those living in other places.

Originally, Bruno took it for granted that they were just some trees and flowers that were not common in daily life.

However, after returning to Idar, Bruno thought about it, the more things were wrong...

If Bruno's guess is correct, the trees, flowers and plants on the Français should have undergone a certain degree of change under the influence of divine power.

If this is the case, can the tulip be improved under the influence of divine power?

after all……

If you want to make the price of tulips smoothly hot, you must have some special cherished varieties to make it easier to operate.

If it is possible to cultivate tulips of rare colors such as black and purple, then Bruno's plan will be a little more secure.

The deep purple tulips are not so easy to cultivate. Therefore, the Français, with its residual supernatural power, has naturally become an ideal base for Bruno to improve plant varieties.

Not only tulips, but also wheat, rice and even roses, a handful of them will be sent to the French Islands!

Speaking of roses... In addition to patches of tulips, roses are also considered to be planted in Harlem.

Similar to tulips, the extraction of rose essential oil requires more than one or two acres of flowers, and it is also the season for planting roses. Therefore, a large number of grain seeds are being sown on the land south of Idar City. In the soil.

On the north side of Idar City, the planting of roses and tulips is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Varie Haring, who was covered in mud, quickly saw Bruno who was walking around. He trot over quickly and said in an inviting way: "Lord Earl, you see, these tulips are all planted by me personally. of!"

"Don't worry, as long as you cultivate the tulips, I will definitely help you get the title!" Bruno said sternly.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl! I can definitely cultivate the most precious and rarest tulips!" Harlem said confidently.

Because of Bruno’s promise, in the days when he came to Idalling, he went into the gardener’s house almost every day. He didn’t care at all about his status as a son of a nobleman, and he was not ashamed to ask what he knew about tulips. , I’m afraid it’s a lot more than Bruno.

"Master Earl, just... don't know my token..." Harlem hesitated.

When Bruno conducted a detailed understanding and investigation of Harlem, he obtained a token that belonged to the Harlem family in Harlem's hands on the grounds of helping Harlem obtain the title.

"This matter has a very close relationship with helping you get the title, don't ask more..." Bruno pretended to say deeply.

"Oh..." Harlem nodded.

Speaking of the token belonging to the Harlem family, Bruno suddenly recalled what he had previously confessed to Cario. It has been such a long time, presumably... he should also have a firm foothold in the Kingdom of Basel. ?

...

The Kingdom of Basel is located in the southeast of the Norman Empire. The shape of the territory is roughly an inverted horn shape. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. It borders the Duchy of Sidon on the west and the Norman Empire on the north. Border.

At this moment, the Norman Empire and the Odin Empire are in the quagmire of war, and the Duchy of Sidon is too far apart. Therefore, it is located in the southeast and adjacent to the Kingdom of Basel in Idar, which naturally became a commodity in Bruno’s eyes. Excellent location for dumping.

after all……

Although the Kingdom of Basel is only a kingdom, it is difficult to compare with the Norman Empire in terms of the number of nobles and the area of ​​land.

However, with a big brother like the Norman Empire as its natural barrier, the Kingdom of Basel has never participated in any war for decades, enjoying the long-lasting peace, and accumulating a lot of wealth!

As an outstanding young man with a sense of morality and justice in the new era, how can Bruno watch the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel bury their precious wealth in the cellar and become moldy?

So Bruno decided to help them spend their money!

Spend it where it is most beneficial to the people, and where it can promote social progress and the growth of science and technology trees!

To put it more bluntly, it is to let these nobles of the Kingdom of Basel, willingly and scrambling to hand over their money to the hands of Idalling!

Bruno, who possesses a lot of outstanding characters, certainly does not take it forcibly (mainly because he can't beat it). Therefore, for the welfare of the people and the progress of society, he can only increase the price of Idar's goods by a little bit. Little bit.

But he still believes that the nobles of Basel are very willing to lead Idar... Well, no, the nobles of Basel are very willing to contribute to the progress of mankind!

Located on the Goethe Plain and adjacent to the Wagorava River, Basel City is the political, economic and cultural center of the entire Kingdom of Basel.

In these years, the nobles of the Basel Kingdom, who have no worries and no enemies outside, have focused most of their energies on play and enjoyment. Compared with the Norman Empire’s capital, St. Lawrence, Basel’s The extravagance is even worse than it is.

As the royal capital of the Kingdom of Basel, it is also the most populous city in the entire Kingdom of Basel, and it is about ten days away from Idar.

Perhaps it was to show surrender to the Norman Empire. Basel did not have the towering walls and vast palaces of the Norman Empire.

But at the same time, His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Basel does not have the control of the Regent Council. He has the most complete and extensive power of the Kingdom of Basel, and is the largest noble in the Kingdom of Basel!

Speaking of which,

In fact, when the Regency Council was established in the Norman Empire, the Kingdom of Basel, as a vassal state of the Norman Empire, originally wanted to take pictures of the gourd, and then set up a Regency Council.

However, the Norman royal family at the time believed that this approach of the Kingdom of Basel was a shameless plagiarism of the political wisdom and philosophy of the Norman Empire, and it also severely condemned the Kingdom of Basel.

Therefore, the establishment of the Regent's Council will eventually cease...

Today,

Whenever I saw the gradual formation of the opposition between the royal family of the Norman Empire and the Regent Council, the successive kings of the Kingdom of Basel were extremely grateful for the condemnation of the Norman Empire.

What is this... This is the spirit of the big brother who sacrificed his life to prove the Tao!

At this moment,

On the Nerva Avenue that runs through the north-south direction of Basel City, a gorgeous carriage is slowly driving on this straight stone road.

The wooden wheels ran over the undulating gaps between the stone slabs, making Cario feel exceptionally bumpy.

Cario lifted the curtains of the driving bed, stretched out his head, and looked at the early morning scenes of the city, wanting to take a breath of fresh air by the way and sort out his messy thoughts.

only……

He has forgotten that this is not the city of Idar, and it is not the leader of Idar.

The gentle morning breeze blew across the densely packed houses, carrying a smell of fermented feces, and it suddenly stuck to Cario's face.

This disgusting smell!

Cariofei also pulled down the curtain by the car window, and retracted his head.

In fact, the environment of Basel City, even in the Norman Empire, is considered one of the best.

But Cario was used to the fresh air in the city of Idar, so the smell almost made him faint... it was almost the same as the smell of the pit in the city of Idar.

The carriage moved slowly along the road, and when it passed the crowded civilian area and entered the inner city near the palace, the surrounding air finally became much better.

Although there was still a faint smell of urine, it was enough to make Cario feel relieved.

call……

Cario has been in Basel City for two weeks.

As the president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce and Bruno’s right-hand man, Cario will personally preside over the operation of the Idar Chamber of Commerce in Basel City.

but……

In this city full of nobles, a merchant without any backing is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by countless lights, and has no status at all.

Therefore, the token that Bruno gave him before leaving, undoubtedly became a key for the Idar Chamber of Commerce to open the situation!

That was Bruno coming from Valli Haring, symbolizing the keepsake of the Haring family.

Viscount Haring is indeed just a small viscount,

but……

Can't stand someone who has a beautiful girl!

As the eldest daughter of the Viscount Harlem, Alana Harlem is the second queen of the current King Ivan III of Basel!

If you say that your backer is just a viscount, then you will undoubtedly have to give up a lot of benefits so that you won't be squeezed too much.

But if you tell others that your patron is the queen today... it would be very different!

It is precisely because the Harlem family has a queen that the fight for the heir to the title has developed into a situation of brotherhood. Several possible heirs have been wooed by various forces, so that the weak Vali· Harlem had to temporarily live in the Idar collar.

Using the Harlem family's identity to help the Idar Chamber of Commerce gain a foothold was the attention that Bruno had agreed with Cario long ago.

so……

The news that Vali Haring currently lives in Idar has been tightly sealed by Bruno, and in the subconscious of members of the Haring family, Vali Haring is still on his way to the Odin Empire.

And Cario’s identity at this time was the businessman Vali Haring relied on most, and the spokesperson of Vali Haring in the Kingdom of Basel!

The carriage moved forward slowly, gradually approaching the palace.

This was actually the second time Cario came to visit the queen from the Harlem family.

As the eldest sister of Vali Haring, Alana has always been particularly sympathetic to the younger brother of Vali Haring, which also brought great convenience to Cario's many actions in the Kingdom of Basel.

The Idar Chamber of Commerce was able to take down the shop on the golden section of Nerva Avenue thanks to the help of the queen.

So this time in the palace, Cario actually came to offer gifts.

Of course, as an unprofitable businessman, Cario also has his own considerations besides offering gifts...

The palace of the Kingdom of Basel is not too big, and since it has already been there once, Cario is naturally familiar with it.

Under the leadership of the imperial guard holding a short sword and round shield, after extensive inspections, he finally saw the noble queen again in the garden behind the palace.

The garden is not big, and it doesn't have the air garden style of Idar, Cario thought to himself.

Since becoming Bruno's subordinate, Cario has always regarded himself as a native Idar, and from time to time took out Idar to compare with other places, and then reaped a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Of course, as a qualified businessman, such emotions will certainly not show on his face.

"Dear Queen... This is really a very beautiful garden, I am afraid that it is not much better than the garden of the Norman Palace!" The moment he met Queen Alana, Cario quickly complimented.

Alana Haring is twenty-eight years old ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ is the most brilliant and dignified time.

Her tan hair hangs down like undulating waves, and her snow-like skin looks beautiful in the morning sun.

A girl who seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old was standing carefully behind her, pinching her somewhat sore shoulder blades.

"Cario... why are you here?"

With lips and teeth lightly opened, Queen Alana nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Your Majesty Queen, this is a gift that Master Valli specially ordered the villain to bring to you..."

While talking, Cario waved his hand, and a front guard walked over. On the tray in his hand, there was a crystal clear crystal bottle wrapped in fine silk.

"This is..." Alanna hesitated.

"This is rose essential oil, my honorable queen..." Cario replied respectfully.
