Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

A cunning glint flashed in Soren's eyes. He knew this was the perfect opportunity to promote his fertilizer to Viscount Wester. So, he began with feigned mystery, "Viscount Wester, have you heard of the miraculous substance that's been the talk of the Imperial City lately?"

Viscount Wester's eyes widened, curiosity and eagerness intertwined on his face. He blurted out, "Oh? Your Highness, what are you referring to?"

Soren smiled slightly and slowly uttered two words: "Fertilizer."

"Fertilizer?" Viscount Wester's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked eagerly, "Your Highness, do you happen to have any of this commodity on hand?"

Soren nodded, secretly pleased with himself.

The fertilizer market in the Imperial City was now booming, with major nobles vying to purchase it. The miraculous effects of fertilizer, which allowed land to be cultivated continuously without fallow periods while significantly improving soil fertility, had already become legendary.

"That's right!" Soren replied. "The fertilizer market in the Imperial City is currently in short supply, with countless nobles competing to purchase it in order to make their land more fertile. I believe such a thing would certainly interest you, Viscount Wester, wouldn't it?"

Viscount Wester was so excited that he almost jumped up. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you are truly my benefactor! I'm currently worrying about how to increase agricultural output in my territory, and this fertilizer has come at just the right time!"

Soren was secretly delighted but still maintained a composed tone: "I specifically prepared to allocate a batch of fertilizer here, considering the agricultural development of the Northwest. I believe that with the help of fertilizer, the land in the Northwest will surely be revitalized."

Viscount Wester was moved to tears and grasped Soren's hand tightly: "Your Highness, my Wester family will remember your great kindness! With this batch of fertilizer, the agriculture in my territory will surely flourish!"

Soren nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself: This batch of fertilizer will not only help the agricultural development of the Northwest but also bring me considerable profits.

This deal was truly the right one.

Soren took a deep breath and said slowly, "The fertilizer has to travel across mountains and rivers from the Imperial City, enduring countless hardships to reach the Northwest. Such a long journey will undoubtedly cause the cost of fertilizer to rise sharply." He paused, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "But rest assured, I am already planning to build workshops in the hope that, in the near future, our Volga City will be self-sufficient and free from dependence on external supplies."

Soren smiled and turned to Viscount Wester beside him, asking, "Your Highness, would you like to know the price of this fertilizer?"

Viscount Wester nodded.

Soren continued, "In the Imperial City, a piece of fertilizer costs as much as 50 copper coins. And transporting it here, even if my merchant guild doesn't make any profit, the price would have to be doubled." His words revealed helplessness and determination.

These fertilizers, after a magical transformation through high-temperature fermentation, were compressed into blocks of dark mud bricks.

Each fertilizer brick weighed 20 kilograms and contained rich nutrients. When using it, you only need to gently crush it, add an appropriate amount of water to dissolve it, and then easily apply it to the field.

Only two blocks are needed per acre to significantly improve soil fertility.

A gleam of wit flashed in Viscount Wester's eyes, and he asked, "Your Highness, what if the old nobles in the Northwest also want to buy fertilizer bricks? They are financially strong. If they purchase in large quantities or even raise the price, wouldn't our new nobles be left with nothing to do but stare blankly?"

Soren frowned upon hearing this.

He knew that the new nobles were indeed inferior to the old nobles in terms of economic strength, but his determination to support the new nobles was unwavering. He hoped to use this method to contain the power of the old nobles in the Northwest.

"Don't worry about this!" Soren said solemnly, "Since I have decided to support the new nobles, I will never allow such a thing to happen. I will personally oversee the distribution of fertilizer to ensure that each new noble can purchase their due share. Moreover, I will set the price of fertilizer bricks for the old nobles at 200 copper coins. This price is enough to attract many merchants from the Imperial City to transport fertilizer here."

Viscount Wester felt a slight relief in his heart after hearing this.

With a two-pronged approach, the old nobles would not dare to go too far.

Regarding some new nobles reselling their share of fertilizer bricks to the old nobles, thereby affecting the development of their own territories, this was something they could not interfere with.

After all, buying and selling transactions are based on mutual consent.

Soren could not directly control this behavior either.

From the moment he conquered Volga City, Soren began the construction of the fertilizer workshop with swift and decisive action.

He carefully selected the site to ensure that the workshop was far away from the city, after all, the smell was a bit strong.

At the same time, he chose a location on the main road to facilitate transportation and management.

With the diligent efforts of the craftsmen, a magnificent workshop quickly rose from the ground. In order to ensure that the fertilizer workshop's technology was not leaked, Soren also specifically sent his Seventh Army Corps to be stationed there.

In order to obtain the raw materials for fertilizer, Soren naturally used the prisoners in the city, requiring them to clean up the excrement in the city and transport it to the fertilizer workshop.

This also saved a lot of money.

Under Soren's ingenious arrangement, the streets of the city were焕然一新, and the fertilizer workshop was constantly receiving a supply of raw materials.

Building a fertilizer workshop was not enough, a large number of magic apprentices and low-level mages were also needed to refine potions, so he decided to use the magical resources of the entire army. He sent mages to build magic test outposts outside the city.

In order to cultivate magic apprentices on a large scale, if there were really talented magic apprentices, they could be brought to the army for training.

If the talent is insufficient, it can be regarded as making a living for them if they can only become magic apprentices in this life, at least the income is more than working in other workshops.

There are special mages to teach these apprentices to refine fertilizer fermentation potions and urea potions, providing key materials for the fertilizer workshop.

Soren's strategic vision and military talent were fully reflected at this moment.

Through a series of measures such as building fertilizer workshops, using prisoners to clean up feces, and training magic apprentices, he not only strengthened Volga City's self-sufficiency in resources but also made full preparations for future wars.

Perfectly utilizing all available resources, and most importantly, these things were all used by Soren for public benefit, without spending a penny.
