Black Iron Crown

Yes, this is a condiment. For Reiner, he has never tasted such a taste since he came to this world.

That's right, this condiment is the legendary - vinegar!

Reiner didn't eat vinegar very often, so he didn't miss it that much when he came to this world.

He didn't even think about bean paste, a specialty in his hometown. How could such a dispensable thing like vinegar attract his attention?

He was really forced to do nothing. Food was piled up like a mountain in the warehouse, and even if he sold it, he couldn't get much money.

In the past, Reiner sold food to wine merchants. Now that the northern border has started to make wine, wine merchants from other places cannot enter the northern border at all. Instead, they are squeezed by the cheap and good wine from the northern border. .

Not to mention that there is no shortage of food in the current empire, even if there is a shortage of food, there is no way to make money!

The lower-level serfs may have never seen what copper looks like in their entire lives. What can they produce to buy food?

What's more, food in the northern border is indeed not expensive, but after some transportation, it will inevitably increase the cost. If it is sold cheaply, it will be a loss-making business. As long as it is not a fool, no one will do this kind of thing.

Those who are short of food can't afford it, and those who can afford it are not short of food. This is the status quo of the empire. Although a certain number of serfs will starve to death or be tortured to death by disease every year, the food cannot be sold no matter what.

And Rainer is not willing to be that kind of Holy Mother. Even if he is so brain-dead that he distributes food to serfs in remote areas free of charge, the food will still fall into the hands of the local lord in the end.

There is no difference between serfs and livestock, so why should they be given so much food to feed themselves? This is what most lords think.

There is more and more grain in the Reiner warehouse. This is due to the agricultural tax paid by the residents. There is no shortage of grain in their own homes. There is almost no hunger in the entire northern border.

The civilians are fine, they can use the extra grain to feed livestock to provide them with good meat, but Leiner can't do this, the huge pasture is where the livestock live, no matter how much he wastes, he won't be able to feed the grain.

As a result, Reiner was forced to find another way. There was more and more alcohol in the territory, and he began to think about whether low-alcohol alcohol would gradually deteriorate. When he thought of deterioration, he thought of vinegar.

As an otaku who loves to read novels and read all kinds of popular science books on the street, his knowledge acquisition is quite heterogeneous, which means that the weather has some understanding of many things, but only a half-knowledge.

He had a little impression of the formation of vinegar, as if the wine turned into vinegar after it went bad, so he began to think in this direction.

He thinks vinegar is a very good condiment, and besides fruit and fruit acid, so far the only sour taste that humans can taste, sulfuric acid or something... Forget it.

Reiner felt that if vinegar was hyped up, it might be sold as a food spice like sugar.

In this way, its worth has definitely skyrocketed by a hundred times. In this era, no matter what it is, as long as it has a little relationship with spices, it will immediately become expensive.

Just like the spices that Reiner bought when holding a banquet before, in its eyes, it was obviously a pile of rotten tree leaves, and the fragrance emitted was still pitiful, and such things were actually top-notch spices that had to be bought at a high price.

He also said that something was passed down from a distant pagan country. Reiner felt that this was purely an IQ tax.

Maybe this thing is a rotten tree leaf in that so-called heathen country, and that heathen country, like the Central Asian country in his previous life, monopolized the exchanges and trade between the East and the West or the North and the South to make a fortune.

But unfortunately, Reiner has already conveyed the general method of making vinegar, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and vinegar, the "spice" that Reiner has placed high hopes on, still has not appeared.

Reiner came to inspect it routinely today, but obviously today is still a day of no progress.

In the Kingdom of Bazaran, King Emalu distributed the land he got, and finally achieved a fair distribution, and the land everyone got was in line with their contribution.

As for the trophies obtained, King Emalu is not responsible for the division. Everyone has attacked different territories, and the trophies they get are not the same. of.

It was the same with Elmaru in the past, and the spoils he plundered would not be shared with anyone.

After this war, nearly two-thirds of the Western Territory fell into the hands of the Kingdom of Bazaland. They obtained more than 300,000 square kilometers of land, which was larger than the entire island of England. This made their territory The area has more than quadrupled.

He became fat in one bite, which can perfectly describe the current Bazalan Kingdom.

As the one who sent the most troops in the past, and also the one who initiated this war, Elmaru deserved to get the most territory.

A total of 80,000 square kilometers became the land of King Emalu, which quadrupled the area of ​​King Emalu's territory, and at the same time his strength also increased a lot.

The current Bazalan Kingdom is dormant and laughing at the territory they have acquired. After they digest all of this, they will completely become one of the most powerful countries in the mainland.

The first thing King Emalu did after returning to his palace with many booty was to re-expand the army. Although his own army did not pay too much in the war, for him, the expansion is First things first.

Back in the palace, he finally saw the beauty he had been longing for, Mekasa.

After the ups and downs, Mekasa snuggled into King Emalu's arms, acting like a baby.

Elmaru gently stroked Mekasha's smooth shoulders, and suddenly said: "By the way, the northern border has become independent from the empire, and your fellow countryman, the Grand Duke of the northern border, Lena, has brought a group of Molan The members of the German family established a peaceful and independent grand duchy, and no longer accept the rule of the empire..."

Speaking of which, the more King Emalu thought about it, the more angry he was. He only received the news when the war was over and he was about to reach the territory. If it could be three or four days earlier, the benefits he would get would definitely be more than that!

But it is a pity that he has already issued an order to retreat in front of everyone, and the soldiers under his command are unwilling to go so far to fight with the enemy when they are about to return to their hometown after taking so many spoils. I have fought, so I have to choose to swallow this bad breath.

After hearing the news of the independence of Grand Duke Rainer of the Northern Territory, Mekasha was slightly absent-minded, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Mekasha? Mekasha?" King Emalu shook Mekasha's shoulders a few times before waking her up.
