On October 1, all the winter wheat was sown, and a bumper harvest of flax was obtained, doubling the yield.
Voltaire, Strong, Knight Black and their men enter Border Town No. 6. Voltaire has made a perfect sword and fish-scale armor for Strong. This time Voltaire asked the cobbler Little York to make large backpacks made of exotic pig skins for him and Strong. Black also made them after seeing it. My subordinates all made large backpacks made of ordinary pigskin. Voltaire asked the blacksmith Great York to make four short spears for himself and Strong. Blake followed suit and made four short spears. Voltaire and Black discussed taking the 10-kilometer route this time.
On the morning of the second day, everyone entered the Nightmare Forest. By evening, they successfully found a temporary camp at the 10-kilometer line. Voltaire led everyone to quickly repair and strengthen the camp. Blake and Strong followed suit while sighing at the omnipotence of genius. After the camp was set up, Voltaire and Strong took the time to hunt small animals and collect wild vegetables and fruits. Dinner was ham stir-fried with dried vegetables, wild vegetable soup, bread with jam, roasted snake meat, and squirrel meat. Blake and his men ate like it was Chinese New Year.
On the 6th, Blake found traces of the strange beast leopard. Black took the lead, Strong and Black's subordinates moved in, and Voltaire pressed forward. Suddenly, a black figure rushed towards Strong. Strong had no time to dodge, so he shrunk his neck to guard his throat and raised his sword to strike back. The alien leopard bit the helmet, but failed and tried to leave. A big knife slashed at the back with a click, and the alien leopard fell to the ground limply. Voltaire walked over, broke the leopard's neck, packed it in a cloth bag, and stuffed it into his large backpack. Blake came over and asked: "Stay, what state have you reached now?" Voltaire replied: "Intermediate peak." Black and Strong said "fuck", and the soldiers looked at Voltaire as if they were seeing a god.
Everyone walked to Border Town No. 6, and with good luck, they encountered a strange pig. Strong took the lead and fought hard for a while, but he had no choice but to attack. Black went up to attack from both sides, and finally the short spear pierced the ear, and the big sword smashed the short spear into the pig's brain to death. The soldiers carried carrying poles and picked up the strange beasts and pigs to drive back. On the way, Voltaire said to Strong: "The opponent is faster than you and stronger than you. He is devoted to defense. The opponent is faster than you and has average strength. Fight closely and use secret strength. The opponent is slower than you and stronger than you. To attack weak points, use bright energy." Strong responded, and Black listened carefully.
When we arrived at Border Town No. 6, we got 2,500 gold pounds for the meat (although the leopard was light, the meat was expensive), 100 gold pounds for the pigskin, and 300 gold pounds for the leopard skin. Voltaire thought about staying, and put it in the small room first. Here in York. The money was divided immediately. Black proposed 3:2:1, Voltstein took 3, Black and his men took 2, Strong took 1, and Voltstein said: "Okay."
On November 1st, Voltaire advanced to the rank of senior knight during morning training. When he opened his eyes, everyone looked at him affectionately, which shocked him.
Voltaire could have gone deeper into the Nightmare Forest, but this time it was mainly to allow Strong to adapt, and no risk could be taken. With the protection of senior knights, the team had almost no risk at the 10-kilometer line. Instead, they gained a lot. Throughout the winter, they harvested two exotic tigers, three exotic leopards, four exotic wolves, one exotic cow, and ten exotic animals. Beast pig. The total meat money is 30,000 gold pounds, with tiger skin worth 4,000 gold pounds, leopard skin worth 900 gold pounds, wolf skin worth 1,000 gold pounds, cowhide worth 500 gold pounds, and pig skin worth 1,000 gold pounds. In the end, Blake took a tiger skin, a wolf skin, an ox hide and 10,600 gold pounds, Strong took a leopard skin, a wolf skin and 6,200 gold pounds, and the rest went to Volster. Sty only sold three exotic pig skins to Little York and took the rest home.
On March 1, the fifth year, Voltaire and Strong returned to Stoneling Manor.
On March 2nd, Voltaire, Stone, Bud, Strong, and Betty, Jack the steward, old carpenter Wood, old cobbler Kubu, full-time groom, breeding factory director, garment factory director, press The director of the oil factory and the director of the printing factory held a meeting.
Stone said: "Last year, winter wheat production increased by 20%, broad bean production doubled, flax production doubled, and agricultural tax revenue reached 2,800 gold pounds. Now farmers have fully mastered the planting technology, and there is obvious room for growth in farmland capacity in the next two years, so within two years Production will also increase significantly.”
Kubuyan: "Last year, the fur garment factory was very popular due to its excellent quality and beautiful styles. However, due to the lack of workers, the output could not keep up with the orders. Later, someone imitated our style, and our orders were placed, which was exactly the same as the output. Last year Net profit 200 gold pounds."
The director of the breeding factory said: "Last year the cows gave birth to 12 calves. This year we still plan to mate after spring plowing." Voltay said: "Please ask Butler Jack to purchase 2 more bulls and 8 more cows. In the profit of the factory Out." Jack should be. The director of the breeding factory said: "There are now 5 rams and 100 ewes. All the lambs are sold to farmers for free-range raising. The ewes breeding factory buys back all the rams, 2 rams are bought back, and the remaining farmers slaughter them for their own consumption. Breeding The factory generates income from shearing sheep in the summer. The cattle and sheep suffer losses. Now there are 3 boars and 100 sows. Last year, all the piglets were sold to farmers for free-range raising. 80 sows and 1 boar were repurchased. . The income and expenditure of pig raising are basically flat. This year, in addition to meeting the farmers' needs for free-range farming, we also plan to raise our own pigs. However, due to insufficient workers, it is difficult to expand the scale." Volstey said: "Bud went to various cities to recruit people. Let’s see if anyone is willing to bring their families over. The scale of factory expansion must be stable.” Bud, the director of the breeding factory, said yes.
The director of the garment factory said: "Due to the high quality and low price of our ready-made garments, the supply has been in short supply last year. However, due to the shortage of workers, the turnover cannot be increased, and the net profit is only 500 gold pounds." Everyone was amazed, and they did not expect that the profit was actually higher than that of fur products. The garment factory is still high. Volstey said: "This is the power of the machine. When the cost of cloth is reduced, the profit will be high. Expanding the scale is still the first priority. Bard recruits all year round." Bard should be.
The director of the oil pressing factory (an old apprentice of the old carpenter) said: "Because our linseed oil is of high quality and low price, the supply has been in short supply last year. The net profit was 1,000 gold pounds." Everyone was "Wow".
The director of the printing factory (another old apprentice of the old carpenter) said: "Last year we printed commonly used books and best-sellers. Due to the high cost of purchasing books and the incomplete increase in printing volume, the net profit was only 100 gold pounds. This year the profit will increase significantly. If production is expanded, it will be higher.”
The full-time groom said: "We have found a gold ingot. Meyer's breed is so strong that there were 20 foals last year. These horses can be used as riding horses. The cubs of Lord Bud's female are simply kings of horses." Because I am reluctant to sell, I am now in the red." Volstey said: "Sell some appropriately, but don't sell the king-level horses. Use the funds to buy a few mares and ride them, and then a virtuous cycle will follow. You have to control the balance yourself. As for manpower, Is there any suitable for the children's school this winter?" Betty replied: "There is already a good one who is following it, and one of the graduates this year can still use it." Voltay said: "Those who can barely use it will be given priority to the horse farm. "Betty should be.
