I am a god in another world

The price of Stark shrubs is relatively limited, even if it is high. One gold coin can buy half a basket, because it is not particularly picky about the growing environment. It can be seen by rivers and lakes, especially around the Pterosaur Lake (also called Long Arm Lake, named after its shape like an adult arm) in the Kingdom of Cormyr. There are a lot of them produced as fish food in Pterosaur Lake, which makes this lake known as the mother lake of the Cormyrs. It is said that half of the Cormyrs grew up eating lake fish produced here, including some villages and towns in the north far away from the lake area.

"I plan to start a breeding business in the Thun Swamp, which will require a large number of Stek shrubs. Handiber, who lives here, has studied Stek shrubs for many years. The varieties he cultivated are not only of excellent quality, but also easier to store for a long time, and the attraction to fish is getting stronger and stronger. Mixing them in feed for processing, I believe it can be processed into better fish feed." Gavin said the truth, but he didn't tell the whole story. The other one couldn't be shared with the Crown Princess. After all, it involved the construction of a processing plant, which was a commercial secret and would be worthless once leaked.

"Haven't you never been here before? How do you know about Handiber?" The Crown Princess asked in confusion. Gavin had obviously never been deep into the Kingdom of Cormier, but how could he act like he knew more about some things than she, the crown prince?

"I just read the latest chapter of Mr. Varro's travel notes, which is about the Kingdom of Cormyr. It records this incident. He called Handiber the father of animal husbandry and fishing. It is said that many fish farms in the Dragon Coast Bay benefited from the new varieties of Styk shrubs he cultivated." Gavin sold Varro without hesitation. Anyway, his book will be published on a large scale sooner or later, and will definitely be blacklisted by the Kingdom of Cormyr.

"That bad wizard with a long nose? Is he really going to publish a travel note about Cormyr?" It was like the perfect smile carved on the beautiful face of the Crown Princess disappeared, and several black lines appeared on her white forehead. It was obvious that she not only knew Varro, but also had an extremely bad impression of him. The so-called long nose was definitely not to describe his appearance, but his bad habit of sniffing and sniffing.

The travel notes of Waterdeep and the North published earlier have made him notorious. Many people who don't like secrets to be leaked dislike and even hate him. Tainalasta is one of them.

"He is not going to publish it, but it has already been published. It is just still under further compilation. It will be printed in large quantities in Waterdeep next year at the latest." Gavin answered truthfully.

"Where did the general see it? Can you lend it to me to have a look?" The Crown Princess did not want to see it first, but was ready to check for omissions and make sure that there were not too many secrets that Cormier was unwilling to disclose.

"Sorry, I also borrowed it from a friend. I have returned it, but I have memorized the content. I will show it to Your Highness when I have time." Gavin used his procrastination skills. Although the Crown Princess may not see exactly the same things as himself after reading it, he had to be on guard and was ready to delay as much as possible to squeeze out all the benefits that could be obtained from the book. If the Crown Princess is powerful enough and gets the internal version from other channels, then there is nothing he can do. He can only hope that she is not as imaginative as himself.

"Let's talk about this matter later. Your guests are here." The Crown Princess's flawless smile appeared on her face again a second before the outsiders arrived. She always showed her best side to the Cormier people.

"Meet...meet...meet Her Royal Highness." A burly middle-aged man with a dark face knelt in front of Tenarista, stuttering for a long time and only uttering a respectful title.

This man was the father of fishermen and fishermen mentioned by Gavin, Handiber.

Although the town of Hilp was not the most remote town in the Kingdom of Cormyr, it was almost the same. It was only 80 kilometers away from the High Horn Castle and more than 200 kilometers away from the capital Susal.

Handiber became really famous after the great sale of Cormyr's Travels of Varro. Now he is at best a little famous among some fish farmers and merchants, and his druid professional level is still below the extraordinary.

Now he was suddenly summoned by the crown prince of the Kingdom of Cormyr, and naturally he was a little excited and speechless. After all, the identities of the two sides were too different.

"Stand up and talk." The Crown Princess said in an unusually soft voice, "Mr. Handiber, please don't be nervous. We just heard that you have unique attainments in cultivating Stark shrubs. General Gavin wants to cooperate with you in this regard. You can discuss the specific matters by yourselves. I won't get involved too much."

Tenalasta is very clear about her deterrent influence on ordinary Cormier people. If she is present, it will seriously affect the judgment of the druid in front of her.

"Thank you, Princess." Handiber obviously recovered a little. After all, he is a professional. Although he is not extraordinary, his self-control ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Your Highness, please stay. If you want, you can also participate in this deal in your personal name. We will jointly run a share processing plant." Gavin will certainly not miss the great opportunity to tie the Crown Princess to his chariot.

"Oh? Share processing plant? How do you say this?" The Crown Princess is obviously more interested in the new term Gavin said. As for money, she is not uninterested, but simply thinks that a Stark shrub that can be seen everywhere can do anything?

"That is, we provide people, technology, and capital. Then, based on their own contributions, each of us will occupy a part of the factory. When we make a profit, we will also distribute it according to this proportion." Wen briefly introduced the concept of joint-stock systems, "Those multi-person joint chambers of commerce basically have this composition model."

"When you say that, I understand." The Crown Princess solved the previous doubt and gave birth to a new doubt, "Since you want to purchase high-quality Stike shrubs, you can directly sign an order contract with Mr. Handib. If it’s okay, how could it involve me? Why set up a factory?”

No one is perfect, and even if Tainarasta wants to make herself perfect, she still can't cover everything. Business operations are obviously her shortcomings. In her mind, it's just the most direct supply and demand, but there's no such thing as See other possibilities.

"I have compared the stike shrubs planted by Mr. Handibo. It is indeed much better than the wild ones and those produced in other places. In terms of honesty, Mr. Varro is still very guaranteed, but Handibo No matter how hard Mr. Bo works, how much land can he cultivate by himself? Five acres or ten acres? Even if he hires a large number of farmers, it will only be a few more manors, and the number of stike shrubs produced will be just as much. Very limited, and I have an entire swamp of Thun, and a tribe of tens of thousands of black-scaled lizardmen eat this kind of fish food and bait."

Gavin began to gradually start throwing bait outwards, not only the Crown Princess was attracted, but also Handib, who was unusually reserved in front of the Crown Princess, because this not only involved his own interests, but also the What he is best at, he has done nothing else in his life, putting all his energy into the cultivation of stike shrubs, which he has done for decades.

As those who don’t understand scoff, “How much fun can you get from a plant that only fish likes to eat?”

The process of cultivating stike shrubs is naturally extremely boring, but achieving corresponding success is extremely touching, especially when it truly benefits people, the feeling is even more wonderful and touching.

With these, no matter how boring and boring the cultivation process is, it can still be enjoyable.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly unreliable fair-weather mage turned out to be more than just drunken nonsense. Not only did he actually publish a book, he also actually wrote about his own affairs. Now even the Crown Princess has been alarmed.

Without giving them a chance to ask, Gavin continued: "If we really want to carry forward the stike shrubs cultivated by Mr. Handibo, we must set up a special seed union to distribute the best quality seeds to the farmers for free. Tyke shrub seeds and provide them with various planting instructions, but before that, they need to sign a contract with us. If the price of the Tyke shrubs they grow is the same, they must give priority to selling to us.

In this way, the planting range of high-quality stike shrubs will be expanded dozens, hundreds or even thousands of times.

We can separate the purchased Stike bushes based on product quality and select the highest quality ones as high-grade fishing bait for sale to fishermen who fish and fish.

Those with lower quality are mixed with ordinary aquatic plants and processed into batches of fish feed that fish are willing to eat, either for sale or for fish farm breeding. Within two years, let alone belief In this city, even the High Angle Castle will have a sufficient supply of fish, and the pressure on your royal family’s food supply here will be greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that this can drive the development of all walks of life. Your Highness, please do the math. How many people have been driven by this process?

Farmers who cultivate stike bushes will have two additional incomes, one from growing stike bushes and the other from the additional aquatic plants harvested.

The deep processing of stike shrubs will inevitably require a group of workers, the sales process requires merchants and transporters, and fish farming requires fishermen. They can all make profits in this process, and the wages they receive are very small. It is possible to spend on the catch raised in the process.

This is a virtuous circle, and everyone benefits, including us, and even the kingdom’s taxes have increased to a certain extent. "

What Gavin throws out is no longer just a basic planting, but a complete industrial chain.

Crown Princess's eyes shone when she heard this, because she deeply realized that the value contained in this agricultural and sideline products industry chain can not only increase the income of people at all levels, but also provide a large amount of agricultural and sideline products to harvest more people. This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it all comes from this humble stike bush. A gold coin can buy half a basket of stike shrubs.

The other Handibo heard what he heard, somewhat confused. In the end, his brain couldn't keep up with Gavin's thoughts. He boldly asked stammeringly: "Sir, please...please help me." Explain...everyone is making money...where does this money come from? Stike shrubs are not gold, how can everyone benefit?"

"Catch!" Crown Princess patiently explained first, "In this process, the relatively low-valued stike shrubs transform the cheaper aquatic plants into high-priced catches, and this is a process of creating gold. , everyone will naturally benefit and earn their own share.”

"So that's how it is." Handibo nodded, not really understanding, "But I only know how to plant Stek shrubs, and I don't know how to mix Stek shrubs with aquatic plants, let alone other things..."

"This matter is not something that can be done by one person. Mr. Handibo, you just need to do your best job. Summarize your experience in cultivating Stek shrubs over the years. It would be best if you could compile it into a simple tutorial manual so that ordinary farmers can understand it at once.

For example, what kind of soil is most suitable for growing Stek shrubs, when is the best time to plant, whether it is necessary to loosen the soil and ridge before planting, how many days to water, whether it prefers drought or flooding, how to deal with pests, etc.

At the same time, use the Stek shrubs in your hands to carry out a large number of breeding, and send the best varieties to farmers who are willing to plant.

You only need to ensure that the Stek shrubs planted by those farmers can survive and produce a large number of products, which is a success. The rest of the things will naturally be solved by professionals here." Gavin's words have completely treated Handibo as a partner.

This is the benefit of using the tiger skin of the Crown Princess Tainalasta. If he came alone, it would be a troublesome thing just to gain the trust of Handiber and not be regarded as a liar by him. Varo's evaluation of him in the travel notes is rude, sharp and humorous.

In the Kingdom of Cormier, no one can refuse the kindness from the royal family of Obaiszier, especially for people like Handiber who are at the bottom of society. This is definitely a high-end thing.

"What you said is very simple, because the Stek shrub is a shrub, and its life is very tenacious and can adapt to any environment. However, the key to cultivating high-quality Stek shrubs is water. Frequent irrigation is required. As long as this is ensured, the Stek shrubs that grow are usually not too bad."

Handiber generously shared his Stek shrub planting experience and said, "But if you want to promote planting on a large scale, I'm afraid it's not as easy as you said. I have been in Hillp Town for nearly 20 years, and I have been teaching the residents here to plant Stek shrubs for free. But so far, except for my three pieces of Stek shrub farmland, no one is willing to plant."

" That's because you only taught them to grow Stek shrubs, but didn't help them open up sales channels. Next, you won't take the initiative to teach them the planting techniques of Stek shrubs, but they will come to you to ask for help, or even buy the planting techniques of Stek shrubs from you. "

Gavin turned around and ordered: "Grace, send a message back to the headquarters of the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce, and ask them to send a caravan to Cormier. Along various trade routes, buy up Stek shrubs at market prices, eat as many as you can, and transport them all back to the City of Faith. "

Gavin has a very accurate grasp of the thoughts of the lower-class people. It is not completely useless to present facts and reason with them, but at least the effect is very slow. The most effective method is real money.

As long as they see money, they will find ways to collect Stek shrubs for sale. When they find that the efficiency of collecting in the wild is far less efficient and profitable than large-scale farming, coupled with proper guidance, a large number of farmers will invest in this planting industry regardless of the consequences.

"Yes, sir." Grace responded respectfully. The former Avanso Death Viper has changed her appearance. Compared with ordinary people, she is still a little skinny, but the gloomy atmosphere is no longer so strong. The black wizard robe has been replaced with black leather armor and black leather pants, and a shadow cloak. She looks more like a thief than a necromancer. This is the standard outfit of the Black Wing Guild.

After going through many assessment tasks (taking a large sum of money to buy diamonds at the West Gate black market is part of the assessment task), Grace has gained Gavin's initial trust. Now he takes her by his side to undertake some darker tasks. After all, she has been subtly influenced by a devil for many years. Although she still retains a trace of conscience in her heart, it is definitely not much. She is proficient in the dirty tricks and tricks of various gangs and unions, and handles gray area affairs with ease.

Her shadow disappeared silently, obviously she went back to pass the message. Within an hour, the Conqueror Caravan would take action. Instant message transmission is the most powerful competitive means of this emerging caravan. They can take action when the enemy is still in the message transmission stage, always grab the majority of caravans, and naturally get the biggest share.

Even in normal business competition, the Conqueror Caravan can have an advantage, not to mention that they have the Conqueror Army behind them and have many business opportunities that ordinary caravans do not have. It is difficult for them not to develop - even the competing chambers of commerce have extraordinary spellcasters to help transmit information through teleportation, and the Conqueror Caravan has the advantage of no cost for long-distance message transmission.

Tenalasta obviously noticed Grace's abnormality and couldn't help but stare at her deeply, but didn't move.
