The Defeated Dragon

It's about discussing Lister's new identity. In fact, the Grand Duke is already ready for the program - Iron Hoop City and Coral Island - to be unified into a new territory, to serve as the Marquis's enclosure for Lister, through this period of nation-building preparation.

Lister accepted the Grand Duke's kindness.

Grand Duke and Grand Prince are secretly relieved, they are now afraid that Lester's appetite is too big to satisfy. So the Grand Duke smiled, “Lord Lister, please give this territory a new name, and I will immediately arrange for the court to prepare your title book for sealing. ”

Even in an excessive territory, Lester thought seriously for a moment before answering: “Call it a flame collar. ”

He is a Fire Dragon Knight. Fire Dragon is the incarnation of fire. The territory is symbolized by Fire Dragon, called Fire Collar. Always remind others that this is the land of Fire Dragon Knight.

“Well, I hereby declare you the Marquis of Fire, enjoying the absolute jurisdiction of the Territory.” The Grand Duke waved and decided to do so.

The Marquis of Fire is nominally a subordinate nobility of sapphires, but in fact Lister will sign a pact with the Grand Duke to defend the Alliance, and the two will have equal relations.

Congratulations to the great noblemen on their ascendancy.

“Congratulations, Marquis Tulip! ”

Congratulations, Marquis Flame and Marquis Bulltail! ”

“The Knight is glorious and the Tulip family is destined to flourish. ”

Lester smiled and thanked, not being overly arrogant, and he was always a peaceful man. Perhaps the aristocracy is divided on the basis of identity, but in his eyes the aristocracy and the people are all equal - only the generations of the ants, but not the difference.

The Dragon Knight is full of ants, and Lester has been very swollen these past few days.

Powerful forces tend to blow his mind. For example, Levi's promotion to the Sky Knight is inflated and proud. If Lester's Dragon Knight status hadn't accidentally poured cold water on him, he wouldn't know how to freak out now. But Lester, no one can pour cold water, and he needs to spend his time calming down.

Good for the adult soul, there is enough self-restraint to overcome the expansion mentality.

There was no time to continue peeling with the nobles, and Lister went straight to Marquis Bulltail when he returned to the Unknown Castle: "Father, the promotion of the title of Flame Leader and the material assistance negotiated with the Grand Duke require more control. ”

Li William Yun said softly, “Don't worry, I'm here for everything. ”

“Then ask Father. ”

“You are the pride of the Tulip family, focus on the Dragon Knight to cultivate and improve strength, and let me handle the other miscellaneous things, surely for your best interests. ”

“Mmm.”

I have to say, having the help of a family makes Lester a lot easier. Even if he has become a dragon knight, he still needs someone he can trust to help him build his own family business - now he has two dragons to feed, especially shallow green gemstone dragons, and I'm afraid the resources will be astronomical.

Light emerald gemstone mines are temporarily underdeveloped, and mining will have to wait two years, until the impact of this dragon slaughter battle is over.

So we have to do something else.

He asked his brother Reeves to call his uncle Messiro, and the family had a brief meeting.

“Father, uncle, I need to raise dragons. The resource gap is huge. I can't raise dragons and dragons with the help of my country. I can't give back a lot of resources. So at this stage, I must accumulate resources by doing business. ”

For this.

Lee William and Messillo knew very well that Leo was an elemental dragon, not a gemstone dragon or a metal dragon.

"Lester, if you need it, the Yam family will be your strong backup, and I can put some resources to support you," Messiro said on the spot. ”

“Thanks to your uncle, but not yet. I have a few ways to make money. White paper and glass, both of which are huge lucrative industries, I intend to scale up production and sell them to the mainland through Tulip and Yam channels. ”

“It's no problem, the benefits of blank paper and glass, believing that nobles on the continent can't resist at all. ”

“In addition to blank paper and glass, I am also exploring other lucrative industries, essentially with perfumes, porcelain and sea salt. ”

“Sea salt?” Messillo frowned and asked.

“Yes, salt in seawater requires special technical refinement, and I have basically mastered that high quality sea salt can be produced in large quantities, higher quality than well salt and pool salt.” Lester was proud to say that sapphires were still relatively salty, even in archipelagic countries.

Because most of today's salt is mineral salt, pool salt, well salt and other terrestrial salt, people are not yet aware of the demand from the sea.

There is a salt mine on Coral Island, but there is no shortage of salt, so Lester didn't pay attention to it until the beginning of the territory, when he began to study salt from the sea water - the technique was simple, with magicians working with it, and quickly came out with edible salt from the sea.

The shores of Black Horse Island are not very salty and therefore cannot be promoted.

But the Marquis Bulltail collar, with its many flat, sunny beaches, is suitable for opening salt fields, and Red Crab Island naturally has a suitable salt field.

Once high quality sea salt is produced, it will rapidly hit the continent's salt market, causing a huge profit to Lester - you know the ancient Chinese salt merchants, one luxurious merchant giant, even the emperor Jiangnan is enthusiastically entertained by these big salt merchants.

Salt profits are visible.

Robbery is far from doing business to earn money.

According to Lester's estimation, if the salt market along the Iron Ridge kingdom's coast were monopolized by large-scale salt from the sea and trafficked, the profits would be comparable to the Grand Duchy of Sapphire's annual fiscal revenues - of course, the Iron Ridge kingdom would not necessarily open the salt market to Lester.

Cooperation with the kingdom's great nobles is more likely.

In any case, blank paper, glass, porcelain, perfume and sea salt go hand in hand, and money is inexhaustible. Even after a few years of technology exposure, Lester thought he should develop. By then, who dares to block his way to make money and ride three or five dragons directly to the door!

He had a deep breath in his heart: “A few years later, it shouldn't be difficult for me to ride a three-and-a-half dragon with a smoke mission. ”

After all, he has ridden two dragons, and three dragon soul fruits are reserved.

The production of sea salt allowed Lee William and Messiro to see the golden money, so the enthusiasm grew, and even Lee Weiss looked up and asked, “Lester, if I and Loria could borrow the Golden Wheat family channel, would I be able to join your trade plan? ”

“If the channel is determined to be in the hands of your husband and wife, not the Golden Wheat Clan, I don't mind you making money together, brother. ”

The continental market is huge and there is no need to worry about too many people splitting the cake.

Regardless of who is involved in the trade program, positioning is just an agent, essentially making money for Lester, and ownership of all the technology is in his hands.

Even if the Grand Duke wants to join forces in the future, Lester is welcome.

Of course, the journey needs to be taken one step at a time. At this stage, Lester still prefers the family to take the channel first and then make the next judgment depending on the profitability of the market feedback.
