Chapter 57 The Hot Idar

   Bagasse can also make paper!

   This news almost made Bruno ecstatic. In the Kingdom of Basel to the south, sugar cane sugar is extremely common. After sugar is made, the bagasse left over is useless.

   Bruno can make paper by buying bagasse from the Kingdom of Basel at a low price!

   What makes Bruno even more grateful is that the place where large-scale sugar cane sugar is made is the Kingdom of Basel rather than the Norman Empire, which can avoid a lot of trouble for Bruno.

   After all, even if the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel realized one day that a large amount of bagasse had entered the territory of the Norman Empire through the Mann Fortress, they might not be able to find out.

  Because Bruno is a noble of the Norman Empire, not a noble of the Kingdom of Basel.

If he was dumping goods or purchasing raw materials towards the Norman Empire, Bruno would not dare say anything, because there were so many great nobles in the Norman Empire. If someone had a covetous heart for Idar’s products, they would give birth to a lot of them for no reason. Trouble.

   But when he sells goods and purchases raw materials to the Kingdom of Basel, Bruno doesn't have the slightest fear.

  Because the Kingdom of Basel is at least nominally a vassal of the Norman Empire, it sends envoys to offer tribute to the imperial royal family every year.

   And imperial nobles like Bruno are obviously higher than the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel.

   What's more, there is the Mann fortress lying between Idalling and the Kingdom of Basel. The nobles of the Kingdom of Basel are absolutely afraid to mobilize troops.

   Therefore, in addition to regularly delivering goods to Cario and stabilizing the original sales channels of Idalling, Bruno does not intend to sell large quantities of goods to the Norman Empire in a short time.

One is because the water in the Norman Empire is a bit deep, and various networks of relationships are intertwined, which will damage the interests of the great nobles if you are not careful; Even the market we own can't be fully satisfied, and there is no need to wade through the muddy waters in the country.

  As a family of nobles who have rooted in Idar for nearly a hundred years, the relationship between Idar and the empire generals who have guarded the Mann Fortress is fairly good.

   Therefore, it is not difficult for Bruno to open a trade route to the Kingdom of Basel.

   It’s just that the previous Earl of Idal had never done this before...

  In Bruno's view, this is very puzzling. After all, Earl Idar, as a frontier earl, although the land he ruled is not rich, his degree of freedom is much higher than that of the nobles near the center of the empire.

   neither robbed, nor smuggled, nor engaged in business. In Bruno's eyes, it was just guarding the cornucopia but doing nothing.

   In order to make Idar's capital chain full as soon as possible, Bruno sent people to the Kingdom of Basel to buy bagasse, while instructing his servants to start making distiller's grains.

   After all, neither papermaking nor distilled spirits mean that they can be made immediately. Both require a series of preliminary preparations such as fermentation.

   In this way, after the roads of Idalling and Mann Fortress are officially completed, the two commodities can have enough stock to directly open the market of the Kingdom of Basel.

  ...

   In these days, the wounded soldiers have recovered fairly well. Because Bruno took special care of the sanitary conditions, without alcohol disinfection, not a single wounded soldier died due to wound infection.

   It would be great if the dozen or so soldiers who were injured could survive half of the time according to past practice.

   This is undoubtedly an eye-opener for everyone, making many people think that... as long as the living environment of the wounded soldiers is cleaned up, casualties can be avoided to a large extent.

   In that case... Then if your house is a little cleaner, will you not die if you get sick, and you don’t need to see a doctor?

   Therefore, under Bruno's intentional propaganda, the civilians in Idar City have once again set off a wave of cleaning.

   For a time, the face of Idar City was completely renewed.

   Although the houses in the city are still dilapidated, they are not as dirty as they were at the beginning.

  The warm spring flowers bloom, and the earth rejuvenates.

   With the establishment of the ownership of the Grand Heights and the end of the war between Sauron and Idar, everything in Idar is back on track.

   The original eight production teams fully shouldered the burden of road construction. With the help of the new thing, cement, the road construction process went smoothly.

   For serfs who are extremely poor in cognition, cement is simply a creation of gods, a miracle!

Since the method of cement production needs to be kept strictly confidential, and the person who makes the cement must also be a cronies among the confidants, Bruno deliberately established the first cement workshop in Idalling near the Haijiao Saltworks. In this way, The original salt field guards can also take care of the cement workshop by the way.

   Therefore, all these serfs can touch are already made cement.

   Just spread the cement evenly on the roadbed leveled by the serfs. After a few days, the cement can be completely solidified.

  The solidified cement is as hard as a rock, and it is natural. It is very reliable to step on it, and it is much easier to walk than the original dusty country road.

   More importantly, even if it rains, you can hurry, and you don’t have to be bothered by the damp mud on the dirt road.

   In addition to the road to the south, the Namur Fortress to the north has finally begun to be built.

   Three hundred serfs plus more than three hundred captives, more than six hundred people are working in full swing under the supervision of Idar soldiers.

   Bruno also promulgated a series of rewards and punishments. Although good work can be pardoned as civilians, the upper limit of various rewards is lower than that of the eight production teams in the south.

   After all, these people were originally civilians led by Sauron, and they need to be observed for some time.

   But even so, the various treatments are much better than Sauron collar.

   Next to the Namur Fortress, a new cement workshop is being built, because the two construction sites, one north and the south, are too far apart, and it takes too long to transport cement back and forth. It would be better to just build a new one.

   However, this gave Anel a headache.

  Because the heating array used in the blast furnace for burning cement is easily scrapped after a period of use, Anel had to travel back and forth between the two workshops and became a tool man.

  So that the research on enchanting weapons and improving the magic circle can only wait until late at night, so they shouted to Bruno again and again for processing resources.

   But to Anel's surprise, Bruno readily agreed to his request and even doubled his monthly salary.

  ...

   Thanks for the reward of "Ten Years of Dreams"!
