Sea water with nothing
Liszt would never agree with this.
In his hometown, the sea scramble is not much smaller than the land scramble, and the blue water navy is the ambition of every country.
The resources in the ocean are difficult to develop, but they are definitely not much less than those on land. In this world, he dare not judge whether there are mineral deposits hidden under the ocean. After all, according to the information he has now, only dragons can produce gems and metals.
But the fishery resources in seawater are absolutely immeasurably huge.
In the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, there is a lot of wasteland, and there is a serious shortage of manpower. They can't even farm the land, let alone develop the fishery. But here comes a very critical problem. The elves are all in the hands of the nobles and cannot affect so much cultivated land, resulting in very little cultivated land output.
Just like Huahua Town, the arable land area is definitely not small, and the population that can be supported is very small.
The fewer people there are, the more they are tied to the land by the nobility and the aristocratic system, helping the nobility to cultivate the land, collecting a lot of taxes, and supporting the luxury life of the nobility.
"The development direction of Huahua Town is this azure blue sea!" Liszt's heart was burning.
As long as there is a fishing ground nearby, there will be a continuous supply of food. Only when the common people are full can they work hard to make villains, and when the population is large, they can collect more taxes.
The higher the tax, the better your life will be!
Of course, these are not the top priorities. The development of fishery is inseparable from boats. Huahua Town is still a long way from shipbuilding. With his little savings, he can't buy a few boats.
"Let's go, we'll go back after inspecting the last section of the border." Lightly flicking the whip, the fire dragon horse galloped along the sandy coast of the blue sea.
The sandstone is light yellow, clean, and occasionally there are big trees like coconut trees growing. The afternoon sun is blocked by them, casting shade after shade.
With a little development, it's the perfect summer getaway.
After the beach tour was over, Liszt returned to the starting point on the edge of Thorn Ridge. Liszt officially completed his tour of the territory of Huahua Town. A group of people ran to the castle. After Marcus and the four knights saluted, he retired and went home. They are in a small town and have their own house.
The castle is just the place where Liszt and his servants and maids live.
"Master, I feel relieved to see you returning safely." The old butler, Carter, led the servants and lined up to welcome Liszt's return.
"In my territory, even monsters need to restrain their behavior." Liszt joked, "Mr. Carter, is everything okay in the castle?"
"certainly."
"That's good. Mrs. Mawson will arrange the bath water for me. I need a bath."
"Good sir." Mrs. Mawson is almost forty years old, never married, has been working in Tulip Castle, and is now in charge of all the maids in Lister Castle.
It says all the maids, but there are actually only three maids.
And there are only ten servants in the castle.
The butler Carter Clay Pot is in charge of all affairs in the castle and is considered Liszt’s confidant; the housekeeper Mawson Rice Field is in charge of all the maids and assists Carter in managing the daily life of the castle; the cook Abby Tangspoon is in charge of everything in the kitchen .
The valets include Thomas Scissors, the personal valet, Tom Pigsty, the ordinary valet, and Jesse Taomishui, the assistant valet.
The maids are all ordinary maids, Maisie Lintou, Debbie Window and Michonne Oxtail.
There is another one who is the cook's assistant and also a maid, but belongs to Abby's cook, named Irene Four Fingers.
Four fingers, very strange surname. Probably her ancestors only had four fingers, so when registering their surnames, they were called four fingers—don’t expect common people who can’t read big characters, spend their whole lives in the countryside, and hardly ever travel far to come up with any nice surnames. .
The nobles did not allow them to have nice surnames.
After Liszt took off his leather armor under Thomas's service, he put it on and went upstairs. The old butler Carter immediately shouted: "Jessie took the master's fire dragon away, remember to add more beans to the feed, it has been tired all day. Mrs. Abbie went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and should add an extra barbecue for the master tonight. Mrs. Mawson remembers leading the maids to prepare bath water for the master, and Tom has to go to the town to fetch water, Thomas, you have to clean the master's leather armor."
"Yes, Mr. Carter!" answered the servants.
Carter nodded in satisfaction.
Although the castle is small, there are few servants, and life is not easy, but he is the housekeeper here, managing all the daily affairs of the castle, and is the master's right-hand man.
He loves the comfort and the power.
…
The temperature of the bath water is just right. Although they are not the skilled maids in Tulip Castle, under the command of Mrs. Mosen, these maids who have recently been sold as servants have already adapted to their jobs well.
Liszt lay in the bathtub, enjoying the feeling of soaking in warm water.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the idea of making everyone equal, so that people in this world can feel the light of democracy in a civilized society. But he is very clear, these servants rely on their survival, that is to serve as servants to the nobles, and they can survive under the wings of the nobles.
Without the job and identity of servants, their lives would probably be even more miserable when they returned to the fields.
Not a few serfs and free people starved to death every year.
In the castle, as long as you don't meet perverted lords, you can at least have enough food and clothing. Once you reach the level of housekeeper, that is the top status that ordinary people can expect.
"Unexpectedly, one day, I, Liszt, will have so many people counting on me to live."
Thoughts wander.
He began to lose consciousness, and soon, a serpentine pattern composed of smoke appeared in front of his eyes.
The snake text has changed, it is no longer the previous text, but a new text: "Complete the task, and reward the sublimation of fighting spirit."
Liszt was excited and was about to receive his reward, but he suddenly found that he didn't know how to receive the reward. Just when he was about to study where to receive the award, the snake script in front of him dissipated into a cloud of smoke, and quickly formed a new snake script content.
"Mission: A serious crisis has occurred in the peanut village of the territory. Unknown mutations have occurred in a large area of peanut fields. The growers are helpless about this. They are about to reduce production. As the lord, they should solve it. Reward: an elf worm."
"Well, the new mission rewards elf worms, this is a good thing!" Liszt was overjoyed at first, and then depressed, "But, what about the rewards of the previous mission, where is the sublimation of fighting spirit, who can tell me, How can I claim this reward?"
At this moment, Liszt was quite irritable.
He felt his fighting spirit himself, and it didn't change in any way. He kept tossing until the water temperature became cold, and he didn't receive the task reward.
So much so that he seriously suspected that he was really hallucinating.
The smoke doesn't exist at all.
After getting dressed and walking out of the bathroom, Liszt had a gloomy face, making Thomas, who was waiting outside the door, think wildly again.
"My lord, you look very bad, don't you..."
"I'm fine, you go and do your work, I'm going to the study to read a book." After entering the study, Liszt wanted to calm down and read a book.
But I was so upset that I couldn't calm down.
He simply changed into a set of training clothes and practiced in the small garden of the castle. What he studied was "Basic Fighting Qi", which is the most widely circulated primary fighting qi cheat book. This cheat is the best basic cheat.
Primary battle qi is just a burst of qi, just for strengthening the body.
After completing a set of movements, he vented his anger that had nowhere to vent. He finally felt better and gradually calmed down. At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and Liszt's eyes suddenly sparkled, as if an inspiration flashed through his mind, allowing him to catch it.
Immediately afterwards, he performed all the training actions of "Basic Fighting Qi" again.
When this display was over, all the primary grudges in his body seemed to reach a critical value and began to transform. It gushes out from invisible meridian channels and pours into every cell of the limbs and bones.
"The sublimation of fighting spirit!"
"It turned out to be waiting for me here!"
