Seeing that winter is approaching, the servants of the Wamborn family seem to have a lot of things to do. Compared with previous years, this year is much busier.
Many well-informed people got an interesting gossip from their respective channels. Ever since the restless Miss Isabel made a huge fortune in the brandy business, she rarely interferes with the territory on weekdays. The Baron, who was responsible for the income issue, summoned a group of territorial managers headed by the old butler Victor for the first time and held a long meeting. I heard that after the tax officer and the clerk gave the baron a rigorous calculation of the eldest lady¡¯s income, the baron made a decision on the spot that Saranvania would be in the country in the coming year. Follow closely the pace of your daughter's development.
It is true that for a truly aristocratic family with a long history that values ??honor above all else, money does not mean everything. However, if there are gold coins in front of you but you deliberately refuse to take them for the so-called vanity, it is too pretentious and will only make people laugh.
The citizens are called on to call on the newly planted high-quality grape trees to grow for at least three years in order to harvest fruits. Although the grape harvest next year is unlikely to increase significantly, one must still take a long-term view, let alone It is said that I didn¡¯t pay much attention to the cold protection measures in the vineyards now, but now I have to pay attention to them. If a tree is frozen and unable to bear fruit next year, the loss will be real gold coins! You know, the food that is now called "liquid gold" is not just olive oil.
Close to the dense oak forest, lumber mills were quickly established. Wine barrels of different specifications are the main product. In the coming year, most of the wine will be packaged and sold in wooden barrels, so there is no reason to be sloppy in terms of quality. The production process standards of glass factories are relatively high, and it will not be possible to meet the requirements in a short time. It is expected that in the next few years, the Guo Chamber of Commerce will still have to place orders from the main producers of glass.
In addition to the key brandy business, the estate development plan that Isabel spent a lot of time and energy planning was finally released not long ago, and has been widely implemented throughout the entire barony. In other words, although the girl has not actually inherited her father's title. But the actual operation management has been one step ahead. You can tell. Baron Wamborn has silently recognized his young daughter's abilities.
Each village has added two new auxiliary positions, one of whom is responsible for managing farming, and the other is solely responsible for caring for livestock. In order to replace the original chaotic farming method in which farmers managed their own homes, the new plan requires that the entire estate be regarded as a yiti and rational planning for the coming year be made. All tenants must sow seeds in a unified manner under the command of the village chief and village head. and farming. As for the few free people in the village. Also be sure to try your best to get them to understand and accept this arrangement.
Not only that, Isabel also adopted Mr. Malone¡¯s suggestion, completely abandoning the traditional dividing farming system and replacing it with the advanced three-field rotating farming system. All fields have been re-planned and divided into three equal parts, and farmers will rotate farming back and forth between these three fields. One field is planted with crops such as soybeans, and the other is planted with winter wheat and the like. The final piece is left fallow to restore nutrients to the land. Although it took a lot of extra effort, in this way, the crop yield in the next harvest season will be significantly improved, and it will also ensure that at least one piece of land is fully rested every year.
In addition, during the activities of the Tongguo Chamber of Commerce, the young female lord used her future income as a pledge to purchase a large number of horses and various livestock. There is still a lot of unused wasteland around Fort Fubo, compared with the more common ox-drawn plows. Although using a horse plow requires a little more care and attention. But it can indeed speed up the efficiency of land reclamation. You know, in this situation, time is money. And after the land reclamation is over. Those cattle and horses can still be leased to farmers for daily farming without losing money. Moreover, although they cannot be compared with the war horses that have been trained since childhood, those horses that are barely suitable for riding can still be handed over to the guards for patrolling.
The population of migration and migration through land replacement, any one who has a skill is recorded in detail in the case. After studying and discussing, it is placed on the appropriate w¨¨izhi. This job was not that easy, but after Baron Wamborn generously assigned Isabel a small team of talented and experienced officials, everything became much smoother, and this also made the girl feel the importance of talents again. .
The area within the radius of Fort Fubo's influence should probably be called "Toft" by the name of the new town that is about to be built. In the minds of most people, the original meaning of the name Fort Fubo may no longer be able to bring out the meaning. The majesty of the powerful lord here is gone. The pronunciation of the word "Toft" in dragon language is close to that of cornerstone. For Isabel, isn't this newly built town the perfect place for her future???The first step to a more ambitious career? In short, due to the girl's arbitrary behavior and Sebastian's dispensable attitude, the name Toft Town was finally decided.
When the last group of people were settled, the total population of Toft Town had reached 20,000. This number is no less than that of the generally weaker baronies. Compared with the Grabo family at Sunset West Mountain, which is right next door, it is even more ironic. Once upon a time, the military fortress built by the old Baron Grabeau with a lot of manpower and material resources has now become the castle where his nemesis' baby daughter lives every day. I wonder what this old guy will think at this moment.
The specific planning of the town was at the request of Isabel, who divided the entire town of Toft into more than a dozen large and small parts, including the town hall, temple area, upper, middle and lower city areas, alien area, park and stadium, guild area, The market area, warehouse area, caravan area and many more areas with different functions can be said to be complete despite their small size. Among them, the Lord's Castle overlooks the entire town. At the same time, at Sebastian's request, the engineering team built an additional spire of the highest possible standard within the budget as a mage tower in the castle.
Now, this mage tower, which is tens of meters high, is just an empty frame. It cannot play any practical role except for admiring the extraordinary scenery from high places. We must wait until the young magician himself comes back to personally give it magical magic. At that time, although it is impossible to compare with the military tower in Saurens City, it can at least play a basic warning and deterrent role for Toft Town.
Of course, the gold coins that need to be spent will definitely not be cheap. If the official standards of the Master Mage Tower of the Kingdom of Dravel are completely followed, the resources required to build a standard private Mage Tower, if converted into gold coins, will not even be much lower than building a new town.
Giving in to this overly realistic reason, coupled with the fact that magician towers in metropolitan cities are quite convenient, generally speaking, magicians rarely go out of their way to build their own magician towers, even those from noble families. After all, although there are rumors that "magicians are as rich as the enemy", that cannot be true after all. Even if a magician's wealth can really match that of a country, ninety-nine times it will only be matched by those small countries in the Southern Islands with a total population of only tens of thousands.
Therefore, except for those masters who no longer put money in their eyes, there are only those who have to live in remote areas for various reasons for a long time, and it is difficult to frequently go to the nearest master tower due to poor transportation. This idea comes to mind only when there are enough gold coins in the bag to squander. In more cases, it is just like Sebastian's plan to build a military tower with a reduced function.
Not every magician is a generalist. Since Dravel is divided into eight arcane schools, other distant countries also have their own unique division methods, such as the four series of elemental magic. A considerable number of magicians choose to specialize in a certain school. After the two schools of arcane formation conflict, they can go further in the chosen specialization school.
Therefore, for a private mage tower, places such as a divination room, an oath-binding room, or a blasting room are not necessarily needed. In fact, for some magicians, if they leave the four elemental pools that can regularly harvest elemental gems, the mage tower is just an ordinary mansion.
Standing quietly outside the corridor, Arati looked solemn, thinking about something.
"Lord Arati, please follow me." The young attendant bowed respectfully and extended his hand to indicate, and then took the lead to lead the way, "The young lady is already waiting for you."
After walking through the long corridor and opening the spacious double-carved wooden door, Isabel, wearing a floor-length skirt, was standing next to the seat with a smile and looking over.
"Welcome home, my most trustworthy martial arts master." The girl's soft voice came back a thousand times, and inadvertently it had an indescribable temptation. "I have heard about your wonderful achievements in Los Village. It seems. , it seems that your journey is not an easy one."
With the armor on his body, Alati put his right hand on his chest, bent down and made a half salute, with a respectful attitude.
"As I promised you, your enemy is my enemy. I will not be merciful to my enemies." Alati straightened up and said seriously, "The living mouth I left behind has been taken care of by you." The prison officer takes over. I believe it won't take long for you to receive a detailed report. However, if you can't wait, I think maybe I can just give you a name that you may be quite familiar with."
"Oh?" Isabel raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Cook." The martial arts commander gently tapped the scabbard on his waist with his index finger, "Captain Cook." (To be continued.)
