===========================

Hanxi City, the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at the financial form that was also riddled with holes in his hand, Eus couldn't help but sigh softly.

He wasn't lamenting how many people spent money in it, but just judging from this table, Hanxi City didn't have much money to be greedy at all.

The main source of income for the entire Cold Lion Collar is limited to grain and ore. The snow wheat that can thrive in the Cold Lion Collar is resistant to storage and is very suitable for food reserves.

In terms of ores, iron ore is the main one. At present, even gold mines and other higher-value mineral veins cannot be found, let alone more precious special mineral veins that can be used to forge rune equipment.

With these two things alone, it is barely enough to maintain the financial operation of the Hanshiling, but it is obviously far from enough to make the people of the Hanshiling live a better life.

Eus once thought about brewing wine, but it was very food-intensive, and Hanshiling didn't have the conditions to make wine. Now Hanshiling only has one kind of local wine, which is snow ale wine.

This kind of wine is brewed from "leftovers" such as snow wheat roots and leaves. In addition to giving people a little taste of wine and quenching their thirst by the way, the bitter taste is not delicious at all.

After trying a small sip, Eus didn't intend to drink Xuemaijiu anymore, it was almost like taking medicine.

But there is no way around it. The production of Hanshiling snow wheat is limited. After harvesting each year, except what Hanshiling needs, only a small part is left to sell.

If there is bad weather or other accidents, the harvest will be reduced, and even this small part will not be available.

How can you be willing to use part of the snow wheat to make wine when you are struggling even to have enough food and clothing?

The use of stems and leaves to make wine was still invented by alcoholics who were too greedy. After it spread, it quickly became popular, but it could only be enjoyed by the cold lion leaders themselves, or in other words, to have fun in bitterness.

If the raw materials are not good, even if there is no problem with the brewing technique, the brewed wine will be delicious.

"Hey... Is the road to brewing wine not going to work..." Eus was talking to himself when someone knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in."

It was Daros who walked in. After saluting, he said, "My lord, just received a message from Lord Morgan, saying that there are traces of Siberians in the Snowy Mountains. When can I go back?"

"How is the cleaning of the city wall going?"

"The cleanup went smoothly, even better than expected." Daros couldn't help but smile.

After cleaning the battlefield and ensuring that there was no threat of pollution from the ruins of the city wall, Daros posted a notice to recruit people to clean up the ruins according to Eus's order.

Seeing that money can be earned or paid daily, many young and strong people in Hanxi City enthusiastically signed up. Besides these people, there are also many people who came to help spontaneously, and most of them were women and children.

For these people, Eus didn't plan to prostitute their labor force for nothing. Although they didn't get paid, they could get food like bread.

Even if a child removes a few broken bricks, he can get one or two pieces of candy in exchange. For children, this is already the best reward.

In a relaxed atmosphere, the efficiency of those who started to clean up the ruins was greatly improved. It is conservatively estimated that in two or three days, the ruins of the city wall will be completely cleaned up, and the stage of building a new city wall will begin.

"Okay. You hand over the work, and then return to Cold Moon City! I suspect that the Siberians who came this time are Zhe Lian's people, and there must be no sloppy."

"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke!"

After a solemn reply, Daros was ready to lead the wolf archers back. When he turned around, Eus happened to see the wine jug hanging on Daros' waist.

"Daros, do you drink?" Eus asked suddenly.

Hearing Eus' question, Daros slammed on the brakes and quickly turned around and replied: "My lord, I drink a couple of cups in my spare time now. When I was hunting the Siberians before, when it was really too cold, I would drink Warm up with a drink."

"Um... what kind of wine are you drinking? Snow ale?"

"Yes. Although the tavern sells alcohol from other places, they are too expensive, and I am used to the taste of snow ale."

"Then you haven't tried to improve it?" Eus suddenly remembered that in the game, players can buy things from Daros.

However, because they are all consumables with a small amount of recovery, many players don't pay much attention to them. Eus just bought one of Daros's and put it in the warehouse to collect dust just because of his collection habit.

Eus couldn't remember the names, origins, and effects of many things in it, but he remembered that there seemed to be an improved version of snow ale.

"Improvement? I haven't thought about it..."

Speaking of this, Daros was taken aback for a moment, he frowned slightly, touched his chin with his right hand, and said after a while: "My lord duke, when I am in an ambush in the Gale Mountain Range, there happened to be a small white flower by my side.

After I tasted it and found that it was not poisonous and had a faint sweet smell, I picked a handful and stuffed it into the flagon. After that, I had no time to drink because I had sex with a few Siberians.

After I killed them all, it was already a few days later. When I opened the wine jug and wanted to drink some wine to celebrate, I found that the taste of the wine had changed. bitterness.

Since then, as long as I find that kind of flower, I will pick some to make wine. Is this considered an improvement? "

Eus's eyes lit up and he said, "Forget it! After you go back, take a look at this small white flower, and pick a batch to see if it can be artificially planted.

If its effect is really as good as you said, then you can try to improve the snow ale to the extent that it can be sold, so that Hanshi can get more money, and more people can live better. "

"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke."

Although it's just a small matter like picking flowers, Daros also knows that he can't tolerate any sloppy after it is linked to the financial aspect. He not only needs to find the small white flowers, but also find the ones with excellent quality!

After watching Daros leave, Eus picked up another file of Cold Twilight City and looked at it.

As the only port city in Hanshiling, there are still many fishermen in Hanxi City, which is close to the sea, but they don't catch many fish every time they go out to sea. Even if they sell all of them, they can barely support themselves and their families.

"Fishery is also a way to make money, but why do fishermen catch so little? And there are not many types of fish..."

After reading the information in his hand several times, Eus could not find the answer. He got up, picked up the white suit jacket, put it on, and called two cold lion cavalrymen to go with him to the fish market in Cold Xi City.

The noble costumes of the Olixi Empire look gorgeous, but it is very troublesome to wear, one layer after another, not to mention fighting, even daily life is a bit uncomfortable.

Of course, this kind of discomfort is based on the premise that everything is self-reliant. Many nobles have a large number of servants, and they live a life of eating and clothing.

Therefore, even wearing such clothes, they can live very delicately.

But Eus couldn't do it. Although he had many servants as a duke, he needed to do many things by himself, and he wasn't used to having someone to serve him even when eating and drinking tea.

Therefore, after arriving at the cold lion collar, Eus wore relatively simple clothes, or tended to be more commoner.

If he was in the Imperial City of Otes, his clothes would definitely be laughed at by other nobles, and even blamed by the emperor, but in the cold lion collar, he was the biggest nobleman, and no one would dare to criticize his clothes.

However, simple clothes also have a disadvantage, that is, because of the materials used, they are not very comfortable to wear, and Eus did not plan to use good materials to make these simple clothes, which is somewhat overkill.

Later, Eus summoned Jing Ying. After seeing Jing Ying's suit, he had an idea and had several suits made, most of which were white.

These suits are easy to wear, and after being tailored with high-quality fabrics, there is no sense of restraint in action. Apart from having little defense, they will not be hindered in the slightest during battle.

Hanxi City is close to the sea, and is often attacked by sea breeze, heavy fog, and even hurricanes. Therefore, most of the buildings in the city are made of stone, which are solid and stable, and are not easy to be corroded and blown away.

The main road paved with gravel, even if it is filled with snow, is still a bit ups and downs when walking. The children chasing and fighting each other on the side of the road are precisely because of this, and they fall from time to time.

"Lord Duke!"

"Master Duke! Hello!"

"My lord duke! Is there anything I can do for you?"

If it was in the original world of Eus, wearing a suit on the road would definitely not attract attention, and people might even be regarded as a salesman or a real estate agent.

But in Hanxi City, and even the entire Hanshi collar, only Eus and Jing Ying were wearing suits.

The clothes are different from others, and with Eus's iconic blond hair and golden eyes, it is still a bit difficult not to recognize Eus.

People along the way greeted Eus with enthusiasm and respect, but no one approached Eus rashly.

Although Eus always had a smile on his face and waved to others to express his friendliness from time to time, the two cold lion cavalry behind Eus didn't look so friendly.

They held the hilt of the long rune sword tightly at their waists, and their eyes were as sharp as hawks. As long as someone got a little closer to Eus, their eyes would immediately fall on that person.

These two cold lion cavalry have experienced several battles, and they have a murderous look on them. Under their gaze, ordinary people are like mice facing owls, and they can only tremble.

"Don't be too nervous, there's nothing wrong with it." Eus comforted the two cold lion cavalrymen.

After entering Hanxi City, Jing Ying took Mo Yiwei to sort out Hanxi City, and most of the residents and soldiers in the city regarded Eus as a lifesaver, so no one should attack Eus on the street. attack.

What's more, Eus's current realm has broken through to a high level, and his strength can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds. It is not just any cat or dog that can threaten his life.

The fish market is located close to the wharf, which is convenient for fishermen to put the freshly caught fish on the fishing boats on the stalls for sale after returning.

The structure of the fish market is also very simple, with stalls made of wood randomly scattered on the flat land with an area of ​​hundreds of square meters.

Some fishermen who are more particular will use a few sticks and linen to set up a simple rain shelter on the stall.

As soon as I walked near the fish market, there was a unique smell of the sea and the fishy smell from the fish.

Due to a nightmare-like scare just now, many fishermen did not go to sea, so the fish market that should have been bustling now looks sparse, otherwise the smell would be even stronger.

Eus walked to the nearest stall and looked at the fish on the wooden rack with great interest.

The vendor stood upright, and asked with a trembling voice, "My lord, what kind of fish do you want to eat?"

"I don't have any fish that I particularly want to eat, so I just look at it." Eus was talking, when a plump fish caught his attention.
