　　 Aging is a long process, although Bruno hopes to shorten the time.

　　 But fundamentally speaking... he is a noble with a conscience!

　　 Therefore, Idar’s first batch of whiskey is expected to be officially taken out and bottled on the day the road connecting Idar City and Mann Fortress is completed.

　　 Even the name Bruno has already figured out, it's called "The Water of Life"!

　　Wait for some packaging and promotion when it is on sale. The price must be at least several times higher.

　　 What is the best money to cheat... Uh, no, it is the best to make money.

　　 The answer is of course noble!

　　 Nobles are the richest group of people in the world!

　　 Nowadays, the Norman Empire is no longer the unmatched empire when it was just established.

When the first meritorious nobles gradually left, their descendants enjoyed the wealth and authority acquired by their ancestors in exchange for blood and sweat, and gradually sank into the glory of the empire. Seen as the most important thing.

　　 Although he has earned face, he has already lost his lining.

　　...

　　 Nowadays, everything in Idar is running in an orderly manner.

　　 The Namur Fortress in the north was slowly built under the work of the serfs day and night, and the concrete road in the south was quickly laid under Bruno's urging.

　　 In the fields where the seeds were sown by serfs and civilians, the carts by the river were creaking and creaking, and the squiggly plow was slowly moving forward under the pull of the cattle.

　　 Cape Salt Farm, piles of snow-white salt piles shone dazzlingly in the sun, and then were loaded into ox carts in the salty sea breeze.

　　 Fishing Port Wharf, fishing boats go back and forth between the sea and the land, bringing fresh fish to the table of the Idars.

　　 Anel drew the magic circle over and over again in the study, and then reluctantly threw scraps of manuscripts to the ground.

The 　　 distillery workshop has started the whisky brewing, and the paper workshop is also meticulously carrying out the fermentation steps in accordance with Bruno's instructions.

　　 However, Bruno noticed a little...problem in this peaceful atmosphere.

　　 Although this problem does not seem to be particularly serious at the moment, as Idar's economic strength grows, it will become more prominent.

　　 To put it simply, Bruno feels that there are big drawbacks in the management system of Idarling.

　　 Many people's responsibilities are severely intertwined and entangled.

　　 And this is particularly serious in Idar's lowest-level officials.

　　 Idar’s officials do not have clear departmental boundaries. It is possible to help Old Ford calculate the income and expenditure today, and to help Sabi shoveling **** tomorrow.

　　 In short, their terms of reference are extremely vague, and there is even no definite job division.

　　Although there is no problem yet, who should Bruno go to when there is a problem?

　　 Streamline the organization and clarify the powers!

　　 As soon as this sentence came out of Bruno's head, it stayed firmly there.

　　 The next day.

　　 Bruno summoned all the important officials of Idar, including the old Ford, Shabi, Lobita and others, to the lord’s castle, and held the first official closed-door meeting of Idar.

　　Everyone was quite caught off guard for the sudden meeting of the Lord Earl.

　　 After all, for so many years, has his master taken the initiative to pay attention to the big and small things of Idar?

The spacious banquet hall of Lord Idar’s Castle has been refurbished. Except for Bruno, Old Ford, Shabi, Liszt, Lopida and Sam Layton, only White Barrell who is responsible for the construction of the wonder and the only one in the domain Arnell Brad, the apprentice of the mage, was allowed to attend the meeting.

　　 As for the servants in the lord’s castle, they were all put on a day off.

　　 "The closed-door meeting held today is mainly to summarize the major and minor events that happened in Idarling last year, and then to make work arrangements for all matters of Idarling this year." Bruno said with a rare face.

　　 "Last year, the total expenditure of Idarling was about 3,800 gold coins, of which 2,300 gold coins were used to build the sky garden."

"However, the total income of Idarling last year was only 3,300 gold coins, of which 2,000 gold coins came from taxes on the land and the output of crops. This means that Idarling had a total of 3,300 gold coins last year. There was a deficit of about 500 gold coins, and this part of the gold coins was filled by the gold coins left over from previous years."

　　 Hearing what Bruno said, everyone in the room was surprised except for the old Ford who was in charge of the money.

　　 After all, in their inherent impression, it is normal to have a large balance every year.

　　 Bruno continued: "...As for this year, due to the large-scale use of cement, the construction cost of the Namur Fortress is expected to be reduced to about 3,000 gold coins."

"But at the same time, the income of the Cape Salt Farm is expected to reach more than 3,000 gold coins for the first time this year, and since this year's Idarling does not have land fallowed, the income from land production and taxation will increase. After a while, it reached 4000 gold coins for an unprecedented time!" Bruno finally couldn't help the smile on his face.

　　 These are seven thousand gold coins!

　　 You must know that the average income of the ordinary earls of the Norman Empire is about 3000 gold coins. Even the rich earls in the western part of the empire have only five to six thousand gold coins a year!

　　 has developed!

　　 But... Maybe only Bruno thinks so.

　　 Old Ford’s mouth twitched, he just wanted to say now, but if those...chemical fertilizers are not effective, then the land output in the next year will be drastically reduced...

　　 But, after all, this is the first time Bruno has convened such a meeting. As the chief steward of Idar, he couldn't openly refute his master's face, so he nodded and agreed with his master's statement.
