Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

September in golden autumn is a good time to plant tulips.

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

In order to plant thousands of acres of tulips, the Idar Chamber of Commerce purchased a large number of tulip bulbs from all over 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 can be said to have plummeted.

Because when the war comes, only food and gold coins can be regarded as heavy hard currency, and this provides great convenience for Idar to take the opportunity to sweep goods.

After all... flowers like tulips can neither be used as food nor have gold coins to store their value. Their only role is to be enjoyed by noble gentlemen on weekdays.

The enemies from the north will not let you go just because the flowers you plant are beautiful!

Therefore, with the advent of war and the shortage of baggage, the price of seed bulbs has naturally plummeted. I am afraid that the current market price is only about one-fifth of the usual price.

Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times are probably the same reason.

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 remaining divine power on the French Islands, the internal structure of the magic crystal has undergone earth-shaking changes, thus becoming a special crystal that can spontaneously absorb the magic elements free in the air - the source stone.

At the same time, many plants growing on the French Islands are more or less different from animals and plants living in other places.

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

However, after returning to Idar territory, the more Bruno thought about it, the more something was wrong...

If Bruno's guess is correct, the trees, flowers and plants on the French Islands should have changed to a certain extent under the influence of divine power.

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

after all……

If you want to successfully increase the price of tulips, you must have some particularly cherished varieties to make it easier to operate.

If tulips in rare colors such as black and purple could be cultivated, Bruno's plan would be a little more secure.

Deep purple tulips are not so easy to cultivate, so the French Islands, which possess residual divine power, have naturally become an ideal base for Bruno to improve plant varieties.

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

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

Similar to tulips, the extraction of rose essential oil requires more than just one or two acres of flowers. In addition, it is also the season for planting roses. Therefore, a large number of food seeds are continuously 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 being carried out in an orderly manner.

Wally Haring, who was covered in mud, soon saw Bruno who was walking around. He trotted over quickly and said as if he was taking credit: "Your Majesty, look, I personally planted all these tulips. of!"

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

"Don't worry, Lord Count! I will definitely be able to cultivate the most precious and rare tulips!" Harlin said with confidence.

Due to the promise given by Bruno, he went to the gardener's house almost every day during the days when he came to Idar. He didn't care at all about his status as a noble child, and he was not ashamed to ask questions about tulips. , I am afraid they are much more than Bruno.

"My lord, you just... don't know about my token..." Harlin hesitated.

After Bruno conducted a detailed understanding and investigation of Harlem, he got a token from Harlem's hand that belonged to the Harlem family on the pretext of helping Harlem obtain the title.

"This matter is extremely closely related to helping you get the title. Don't ask any more questions..." Bruno said pretending to be profound.

"Oh..." Harlin could only nodded.

Speaking of the token that belonged to the Harlem family, Bruno suddenly recalled what he had previously told Carlio. It had been such a long time, and he must have established a foothold in the Kingdom of Basel. ?

…

The Kingdom of Basel is located in the southeast of the Norman Empire. The shape of the country roughly presents an inverted horn shape. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. It borders the Principality of Sidon to the west and the Norman Empire to the north. It has an extremely long border line.

At this moment, the Norman Empire and the Odin Empire are deep in war, and the Principality of Sidon is too far away. Therefore, the Kingdom of Basel, which is located in the southeast and adjacent to the Idar Territory, has naturally become a commodity in Bruno's eyes. Perfect 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 land area.

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

As an outstanding and progressive young man of the new era with a sense of morality and justice, how could Bruno watch helplessly as the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel buried their precious wealth in the cellar to mold?

So, Bruno decided to help them spend their money!

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

To put it more bluntly, it is to make these nobles of the Kingdom of Basel willingly and eagerly hand over their money to the hands of Idar!

Bruno, who has many excellent qualities, will certainly not take anything by force (mainly because he cannot be defeated), so for the sake of the well-being of the people and the progress of society, he can only slightly increase the selling price of Idar's products. A little bit.

But he still believes that the nobles of Basel are very willing to win for Idar... Uh, no, the nobles of Basel are very willing to contribute to the cause of human progress!

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

In these years, the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel, who had no worries at home and no strong enemies outside, focused most of their energy on fun and enjoyment. Compared with St. Lawrence, the capital of the Norman Empire, the city of Basel was The extravagance is even worse.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Basel, it is also the most populous city in the entire Kingdom of Basel. It is about ten days' journey from Idar.

Perhaps to show its submission to the Norman Empire, the city of Basel does 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 is not restricted by the Regency Council. He possesses the most complete and extensive power of the Kingdom of Basel and is the largest noble in the entire Kingdom of Basel!

Speaking of which,

In fact, when the Norman Empire established a Regency Council, the Kingdom of Basel, as a vassal state of the Norman Empire, originally wanted to follow suit and 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 governance concepts of the Norman Empire, and also issued a severe condemnation of the Kingdom of Basel.

Therefore, the establishment of the Regency Council finally came to nothing...

To this day,

Whenever they saw the gradual rivalry between the royal family and the Regency Council of the Norman Empire, the subsequent kings of the Kingdom of Basel were extremely grateful for the condemnation of the Norman Empire.

What is this... This is the spirit of Big Brother who sacrifices his life to prove the truth!

At this moment,

On the Nerva Avenue that runs from north to south in the city of Basel, a gorgeous carriage is driving slowly on this straight stone road.

The wooden wheels rolled over the undulating gaps between the stone slabs, making Kallio feel particularly bumpy.

Kallio opened the curtain of the lathe, stretched out his head, and looked at the morning scene of the city, wanting to take a breath of fresh air and sort out his messy thoughts.

only……

He forgot that this was not Idar City, let alone Idar Territory.

The slow morning breeze blew through the densely packed buildings, carrying the smell of fermented excrement, which immediately stuck to Kallio's face.

This disgusting smell!

Cario pulled down the curtains beside the car window like a fly and retracted his head.

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

But Kallio was already accustomed to the fresh air in Idar City, so this smell almost made him faint... It was almost the same as the smell of the latrines in Idar City.

The carriage moved slowly along the road. After passing through the crowded civilian area and entering the inner city near the palace, the surrounding air finally became much better.

Although it was still filled with a faint smell of urine, it was enough to calm Kallio down.

call……

Kallio has been in Basel City for two weeks.

As the president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce and Bruno's right-hand man, Kallio will personally preside over the operations of the Idar Chamber of Commerce in Basel City.

but……

In this city full of nobles, a businessman without any backing is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered with countless eyes on him. He 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 up the situation!

That's what Bruno wanted from Wally Harlin, a token that symbolizes the Harlin family.

Viscount Harlem is indeed just a little Viscount,

but……

I can't help but have a beautiful daughter!

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

If his backer is only the viscount, then he will undoubtedly have to give up a lot of benefits to avoid being manipulated too hard.

But if you tell others that your supporter is the current queen... that will be a big difference!

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

Using the identity of the Harlem family to help the Idar Chamber of Commerce gain a foothold was an idea that Bruno had agreed upon with Kallio a long time ago.

so……

The news that Vali Harlin is currently living in the Idar Territory has long been tightly blocked by Bruno, and in the subconscious of the Harin family members, Vali Harin is still on his way to the Odin Empire.

Kallio's identity at this time is Vali Haring's most trusted businessman, and Vali Haring's spokesperson in the Kingdom of Basel!

The carriage moved forward slowly, gradually approaching the palace.

This is actually the second time Kallio has come to visit the queen from the Harlem family.

As the eldest sister of Vali Harin, Alanna has always been particularly fond of her younger brother Vali Harin, which has also brought great convenience to Kallio's many actions in the Kingdom of Basel.

The reason why the Idar Chamber of Commerce was able to acquire the store located on the prime section of Nerva Avenue was also thanks to the help of the queen.

So this time when he entered the palace, Kallio actually came to present gifts.

Of course, as a businessman who can't afford to be early without profit, Kallio also has his own considerations besides giving gifts...

The palace in the Kingdom of Basel is not too big, and having been here once before, Kallio is naturally familiar with it.

Under the leadership of the royal guards holding daggers and bucklers, and after numerous inspections, he finally saw the noble queen again in the garden behind the palace.

The garden is not big, and it is not as grand as the hanging gardens in Idar Territory, Kallio thought to himself.

Since becoming Bruno's subordinate, Kallio has always regarded himself as a native of Idar, and from time to time he compares the Idar Territory with other places, and then he will gain a full sense of accomplishment and pride.

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

"Dear Queen... This is really an extremely beautiful garden. I'm afraid it's no less impressive than the garden in the Norman Palace!" The moment he saw Queen Alanna, Kallio quickly complimented.

Alanna Harling is twenty-eight years old, UU reading www.uukａｽｈhu. net is the most bright and dignified time.

Her brown hair hung down like undulating waves, and her snow-like skin looked lovely under the early morning sun.

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

"Kario...why are you here?"

With her lips and teeth slightly parted, Queen Alanna nodded slightly and said calmly.

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

As he spoke, Kallio waved his hand, and a royal guard came over. On the tray in his hand was a crystal clear crystal bottle wrapped in fine silk.

"This is..." Alanna hesitated.

"This is rose essential oil, Your Majesty the Queen..." Kallio replied respectfully.
