Transcendent Noble

The night when the competition is over is destined to be a carnival night.

Hundreds of bonfires have risen on the banks of the Silver Moon, and the skinned cattle and sheep are slowly turning on the barbecue spit. The man next to him is busy applying spices and salt water until the meat is roasted with fat and aroma. Tangy. The long table set up outside the tent was piled with vegetables, sea buckthorn berries, strawberries and bread.

More than two thousand contestants and their followers were sitting around the bonfire, enjoying the free food and wine provided by the host, while chatting. The crew of the touring troupe shuttled through the crowd, quietly inviting well-dressed guests to the troupe tent to watch the wonderful performance, and patted their breasts to ensure how young and beautiful the troupe actors are.

Everyone knows that the night performances of the touring troupe are not only musical, juggling, and animal training. Guests can also accept individual performances by the troupe’s actors as long as they spend a fortune. These actors are all Handsome Men and Beautiful Women selected in a hundred. Because of the limited number of people, night performances are only open to the wealthy. If the guest is handsome enough to take out the bloodline document issued by the church, and is good at sweet talk, the girls of the theater troupe won't mind spending a wonderful time with him. Many desolate bards are wandering around with the touring troupe.

Of course, for most people, itinerant theater troupe is a place for vassals to have fun and choose personal maids. Ordinary civilians are more willing to have fun in hotels or taverns, but by no means tonight.

This morning, the priest of the church started distributing pork to the people of Golden Water City. Everyone can receive more than a pound of fresh pork. Tens of thousands of believers ended their thanksgiving prayers, including the waitresses in the tavern rushing home to share dinner with their families. In such hot weather, pork won't last for long.

So, the whole Golden Water City was filled with the smell of pork soup.

In the brightly lit lobby of the Black Fort, 11 Knights, 69 trainee Knights and 576 potential noble children gathered together to participate in the feast hosted by the host. From then on, they will take root in Centaur Hills and play for the York family. The chefs of Golden Water City took out 12 points of ability, stewed, fried, steamed, boiled, fried, grilled, braised, all kinds of crafts, and delicacies were served on the table like water. The new members of the York family ate their mouths full of praise, and they even thought that this grand feast was enough to go down in the annals of history.

The fact is the same. For this banquet, the chefs started preparing for this banquet as early as 7 days ago. They were divided into 20 groups and mobilized a total of thousands of people. This was amazing. Food feast. And the chief painter of the York family kept more than 700 people eating at the same time with paintbrushes, which turned out to be a well-known painting.

Unfortunately, the senior members of the York family did not attend the Black Fort night banquet. They were all in the Rose Manor waiting for the visit of distinguished guests.

Hundreds of water lizard oil candles illuminate the elegant hall of the manor. Sophia wears a sleeveless and collarless fine linen robe, revealing a white and flawless right shoulder and a pair of well-proportioned arms. She does not wear a belt or jewelry. Her purple hair is casually draped over her shoulders, and Yu Linglong's slender feet are stepped on. A pair of sandals woven with rushes are comfortable and lazy.

Everyone wears the same attire. Regardless of status, position, background, and decision-making at the after-bath reception, they pursue a relaxed and free meeting environment and a relaxed atmosphere for freehand conversation.

This is very much in line with the needs of VIPs.

The envoys to observe the competition are mainly the heirs of the Great Family. There are also hostile forces. Everyone came to Centaur Hills with the purpose of temptation. It is impossible to reach any effective agreement, so there is no need Too solemn.

At this moment, Sophia is a little uncomfortable.

The Great Knight of the York family and the lords surrounded Victor and talked affectionately. As the Viscountess of Randal, Sophia was also surrounded by eight Great Knights.

Anyone will feel uncomfortable when surrounded by a strange Great Knight. The most embarrassing thing is that Sophia doesn't even understand the content of their conversation. She is like an outsider. And Victor's freely speaking, chatting and humorous appearance reminded her of the Marquis of Bastern, the minister of the Kite Castle.

Sophia looked at Victor’s familiar face, and wondered that Old Guy might not be as good as my little husband. At least when he held a court meeting, I would not stand here like a vase and giggle. .

"Hannas, your luck is so enviable."

"Yes, we only built a few streams and reservoirs, but you started digging water channels. Look. Come, my territory is the last to build a canal." Telland Count said sighfully.

Viscount Hanas smiled and said: "Thanks to Victor for helping us open the blue brick market in the Dodo Kingdom."

The water conservancy project in Centaur Hills is very costly, thanks to York. The family's financial resources are not enough to support the construction of the main canal. For this reason, Victor developed a strategy of raising the canal with bricks, but this strategy could not meet the needs of all lords. Viscount Hanas is one of them.

The territory of Viscount Hanas is located in the north of Centaur Hills, bordering with Viscount Solon. He is the northernmost lord in the lord sequence of the York family and the last lord to build the main canal.

According to the agreement, whoever repairs the main channel has the dominant power in the external sales of blue bricks. However, due to factors such as geographic location, transportation costs and market capacity, when Hanas began to build the main canal, the green brick market was already saturated, and the green bricks he produced could only be digested internally and could not be exported to generate income. This means that the cost of Viscount Hanas to build a canal is several times that of other lords.

Victor and Viscount Negus of the Kingdom of Dodo reached a blue brick sales agreement, and the situation suddenly changed.

Previously, there were three major consumer markets for the blue bricks of Centaur Hills. The first was the internal market of Centaur Hills; the second was Wild Willow City as a transit station, radiating the copper city and the Solim family in the southern part of Gambis. The Vestok city of the Wellington family in the south central region is collectively called the Southern Market; the third is the eastern neighbor of Golden Water City, the western lord led by the Nimes family, called the Eastern Market. Now, we have to add Viscount Solon and Viscount Negus, and even sell blue bricks to territories further north through Viscount Negus.

The distance of the blue brick market determines the order of eating meat and soup. Victor's Flatlake Town and Duke York's Golden Water City not only eat meat first, but also control the distribution of the blue brick market. Viscount Hanas could not even drink the soup of the blue brick trade. Victor has now opened the northern market. He has transformed into a leader among the northern lords.

Terrandon count and Viscount Giris, both the northern lord, are envious of Hanas' luck, and Hanas is naturally grateful to Victor. You know, the blue brick trade can stimulate the circulation of commodities, which represents wealth and prosperity.

"Victor, if there is anything in Raven Town that needs help, just speak up." Hanas said, clapping his firm chest.

"Hanas, where can Viscount Randal need your help?" Mrs. Audèle gave Victor a beautiful glance, and said with a smile: "You may need Victor's help. It's true."

"What Mrs. Audell said." Viscount Hanas laughed and said eagerly: "Victor, I didn't expect that my territory will take the lead in building aqueducts, you Can you spare the time to help me look at the location of the canal, so as to avoid mistakes and omissions when the canal is opened in the future."

Victor shook the glass in his hand, said with a smile: "Don’t worry about the main canal selection."

Regarding the site, although there is no diversion canal yet, Master Edwin and I have completed the topographical mapping work. Each medium-sized stream reservoir is a node. You adults only need to build the reservoir according to the sand table and connect the reservoirs. There will be no mistakes or omissions."

"Then I will rest assured." Hanas smiled on his jaw and said, "Victor, I have one more thing I want to ask you for help."

"hope to hear the details." Victor took a sip of the golden iris wine brewed from purple cane, lightly said.

Hannas paused and explained: "That’s it. There is only one giant brick kiln in my territory, which was originally enough. But now, I want to sell green to Viscount Solon and Viscount Negus. Bricks, one giant brick kiln obviously cannot meet the amount of blue bricks for the three territories. So I ordered two more giant brick kilns to be built. The problem is that I don’t have so many builders and brick makers. Your Excellency, can you lend me some manpower for me When my brick kiln is on the right track, I will return these people to you. I am willing to bear their wages and pay a fee to the Randal Family."

Victor groaned and frowned. "I’m afraid that the two brick kilns want to get on the right track more than about a year? It’s not easy for me to train skilled stewards and craftsmen, and most of these people are free citizens. I’m impossible to break the rules of the canonized citizens and distribute them right away. Give them the land. If these people voluntarily stay in your territory, I wonder if you can return them to me?" Paused, he said with a faint smile: "Your Excellency Hanas, you don't want to dig my corner, right? "

"This..." Hanas took a sip of wine, concealed his embarrassment, and said sincerely: "Victor, please help. I really need these people. I can In order to pay you the persuasion, each ordinary craftsman is 100 gold sol, and the steward 350 gold sol, what do you think?"

Victor shook the head, said: "This is impossible. Lord Duke also proposed I made the same request, but I refused. Before the end of the water season this year, the main canal of Randal will be able to pass through. I will transfer the leading power of blue brick sales to Golden Water City, but Randal will have to build Circular canals, auxiliary canals, small stream reservoirs, and terraces still have a great demand for green bricks. It is necessary to retain sufficient skilled craftsmen and stewards. However, I will follow the agreement and turn over the sales profits of green bricks to Master Enbis. As the funds for the construction of the main canal in other territories. From now on, if you have any questions, you should consult with the Lord Duke."

Duke York patted with a chubby belly, smiled and said: "My lord, although I am yours Lord, but will not interfere in your internal affairs. Moreover, the territory under my direct jurisdiction is more than 50,000 square kilometers. The main canal is longer than you and the reservoir is more than you. The town assumes that a lot of blue bricks will be used. You?"

"Enbis, you can't say that." Terlandon count relied on being the elder of Duke York, and said bluntly: "Victor is not our lord, he leads the blue brick industry. At the time, it not only opened up the Wild Willow City market, but also helped us open up the blue bricks in the north market. As our lord, you can't do nothing, right? "

The Viscount Giris also took the opportunity to say: "The southern, central and northern parts of Centaur Hills should be dug to collect soil at the same time, making bricks for sale. Only in this way can the water conservancy project be completed ahead of schedule, and everyone will benefit. Lord Duke, you can't ignore us northern lords! "

Enbis smacked his lips: "Or, would you send someone to learn?" I promise that my steward and craftsman will teach each other..."

"My lord, we are not short of skills, so we can train stewards and craftsmen by ourselves. What we lack is skilled craftsmen and stewards, we need it now! Want a lot! "

"Didn't Victor just say it? I also lack manpower, it's useless for you to force me! "Enbis rolled his eyes and played a rascal.

After the bath, the reception did not ask respect and humiliation, and the participants spoke freely. The family in the northern territory immediately quarreled with the central lord. Mrs. Katerina turned to Bruce. With a wink, Bruce understood, and interjected: "Don't worry, everyone, I have a question to ask Victor. "

"Bruce, ask. "Victor said generously.

Bruce smiled and said, "Victor, what I want to ask is about terraces." "
