Now Stone is very satisfied with the farm and is happy all day long. This year the agricultural tax amounted to 6,500 gold pounds. There are 45 farm cattle, farm tools are constantly improved, efficiency is continuously improved, farmers' planting technology continues to develop, more wasteland is reclaimed, and each family still insists on three plots of land, one of which is rested, and insists on green top dressing, so the land becomes more and more fertile. Grain and flax production have quadrupled before.
Factories increased production in an orderly manner, costs continued to fall, and profits were high (of course, when Voltaire's strategy was implemented nationwide, profits would drop significantly). The profits of fur garment factories, clothing factories, and breeding factories are all over 1,000 gold pounds. The profit of the oil press exceeds 3,000 gold pounds, the profit of the printing factory exceeds 2,000 gold pounds, and the profit of the horse farm exceeds 2,000 gold pounds, and it will get higher and higher. There are more and more horse kings, and Meyer deserves a lot of credit.
The territory is getting better and better, but after Voltaire told everyone that he started planning a trip to the Western Continent, everyone felt extremely depressed. Bard asked: "Stay, what will I do after you leave?" Voltaire replied: "There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. You should hurry up and become a knight!" Bard said: "I should be able to enter next spring. First-class knight." Volstey said: "Okay. Next year you can participate in the national competition, and you will get the best results. If not, I will ask the king and Earl Heyman to help arrange your territories, Lisheng Territory and Strong Territory. Get closer so you can take care of each other. Strong will get a barony under the Hayman Territory this time, and he will go to Hayman City to formally receive the order after the New Year."
Stone and Elsa looked at Voltaire sadly. Elsa said: "Stay, can't we not go to the Western Continent? Is there anything more important than being together as a family?" It was difficult for Voltaire to answer this. question. Stone sighed: "Elsa, Stone is not an ordinary child, we can't hold him back." Elsa cried. Volta said: "I am confident that I will make it to the Western Continent alive. After I become a wizard, I will come back to see you. Father, you want to advance to become a knight. Before I leave, you must master the breathing method." Stone responded well. Aishayan: "Let's forget it. But what should Betty and the others do?"
Voltaire, Betty, and the maid Carol sat around the big bed and sighed. Carol said: "Sir, please take us with you, okay?" Volstey said: "It is absolutely impossible to cross the British Channel. I can't save myself, let alone take you?" Betty said: "Stay, then You are about to travel across the continent, will you take us with you?" Voltaire sighed: "Okay. I will also take you to the beach to see the ferocity of the strange sea beasts."
On January 5 of the eighth year, Voltaire, the six Bettys, and the Strong family set out for Hayman City, and everyone in the manor cried. Voltaire smiled and said: "I haven't gone to the Western Continent yet, I just traveled to the British Continent. Wait until I officially go to the Western Continent, you can cry again!" Little Jack shouted: "Brother Voltaire, come back and bring me a gift." Erstehan, who always forgets to bring gifts home, replied loudly: "Okay, brother Jack, I won't forget this time."
On the 15th, everyone arrived at Haiman City. After staying at an inn, Strong went to the relevant departments to go through all the procedures for accepting the Baron City, and Voltaire went to the study at the Earl's Mansion. Count Hyman made all information available to Voltaire, and Voltaire swam in the ocean of knowledge.
On the 20th, Voltaire went out for lunch and saw the female knight Susan and her five children in the restaurant. Voltaire looked at the children with mixed emotions. Children who are not from the original family do not have the emotional integration of living together, only the instinctive admiration and fatherly love of a child. Voltaire had lunch with his "family".
Voltaire read the information and communicated with the outstanding craftsmen of the Earl's Palace. Voltaire's main focus was on various castings and medicine. The level of craftsmen in the Earl's Palace was obviously much higher, and Voltaire gained greatly in all aspects.
On February 1, the Voltaire family went to Naus. Went to Jamestown on March 10th. Returned to White Manor on April 20th. The six Bettys saw White and Streisand crying non-stop, blaming themselves for not leaving their flesh and blood for Voltaire. White was speechless, Streisand cried with them, the three sisters and babies also cried, and Varrel scratched his head. In the study, Voltaire said to White: "I don't want to get married, just because I'm afraid of this situation. What should I do now?" White said: "Just take it one step at a time. After you officially go to the Western Continent, I'll ask them if I'm willing to go back to my parents' family." Volstey said: "Okay. Let them find someone else after I leave for a while. There is no need to stick to it." White said: "Let's talk about it then."
On May 1st, the Voltaire family went to Khanty. On June 1st, the Voltaire family went to the Western Kingdom with documents from the King of the Northern Kingdom. Voltaire exchanged government work regulations, assessment systems, and seven-subject textbooks for the opportunity to read literature. The king and earls of the Western Kingdom were all happy to exchange, which was also a sign of respect for the great knight of mankind. After that, the southern and eastern kingdoms all allowed it. Voltaire eagerly learned all the information while traveling across the British continent, learning casting and pharmacy skills in various countries.
Voltaire found information about wind-powered hang gliding in the East. Every March, strong westerly winds would blow across the British Channel for a month. It is also confirmed again from the data that there are no successful cases of knights crossing the British Channel, but a large number of failure cases. However, Voltaire also got inspiration from the failure cases: it is best to have different ships as cover; there are small islands in the strait that can be repaired, There is an accurate sea chart; sea animals are afraid of fire.
On March 1, the ninth year, the Voltaire family came to the British Channel in the East. At this time, the west wind had risen, the waves on the strait were rough, and the dark water looked so heavy. The Voltaire family looked at the sea with heavy faces. Suddenly, a huge creature in the distance sprayed out a huge water column. Its two big eyes were like two big searchlights, scanning all life. It was a hundred times greedier than the whales on the earth. It suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed countless lives. The Alien Whale was satisfied and wanted to dive. Suddenly, countless big ropes soared into the sky and wrapped around the Alien Whale. The Alien Whale opened its mouth and bit it. Blood spewed out from the broken mouths of several big ropes like fountains. Countless big ropes wrapped around the mouth of the Alien Whale. The alien whale could not open its mouth, so it had to swim away at full speed. The big rope was straightened immediately, and a mountain-like head emerged, which should be an alien octopus. Why is it so huge? Betty and the others were stunned. The remaining battlefield suddenly erupted into riots, with countless strange beasts and sea fish fighting for the bitten octopus arms and legs in an extremely crazy manner. This is Ocean Jungle! The battlefield of time!
Voltaire stayed at the seaside for a whole month and judged that the westerly wind was strongest in mid-March.
