Chapter 138

    Arthur didn''t ask much about the serfs. Looking at Gustav, he said instead: "the resettlement work should be completed quickly. Bank and they have returned to the territory, and the population of several farms will gradually come."


    In addition to the more than 1000 serfs led by zuogeya, the people in Burley, bank and the two rebel farms in the South will move to Shanghe town.


    After seeing the strength of Lingfeng castle, seeing the changes of Shanghe town and having a good talk with Arthur, bank and bury finally accepted his suggestion.


    It was not easy for them to make such a decision, but they all knew Arthur''s determination to reform, and Arthur also gave them enough generous commitments.


    "Don''t worry, my friend!" Gustav said. "It''s busy farming now. Men are busy growing food. Before long, torio''s men will have enough hands."


    Hearing the speech, Arthur nodded.


    The defeat of the coalition forces of the Green family not only temporarily extinguished the nobles'' covet of iron mines in the East, but also brought new opportunities for the reform of Shanghe collar.


    At least, Arthur didn''t have to worry about the labor force for a long time.


    Looking at Gustav, he said, "there are two things you need to do."


    Hearing this, Gustav immediately stroked his chest, sat down in a chair and pretended to say, "I''m sure you''re satisfied, your excellency count."


    Looking at the funny Gustav, Arthur smiled and said, "you guy, you really should be an actor in a stage play. Why don''t I send someone to take you to Wangdu? In my opinion, it''s no problem to play an aristocratic lady!"


    "God!" Gustav exaggerated, "I don''t want those nobles to fight for the chance to spend the night with me!"


    Thorne glanced coldly at Gustav.


    Spend the night together? I guess it''s a chance to kill you! He thought.


    Arthur also smiled and said, "I regret letting VALISH Davidson go. I should give it to you as a gift. I heard that guy likes men too."


    After joking, Arthur said to Gustav, "first of all, I want the foreign trade bureau to import all kinds of grain from businessmen, whether wheat, barley or oats. And it needs a lot of imports!"


    "Food?" Gustav was sure that he had heard it correctly, and Arthur specially emphasized it. "Didn''t the wheat in Lingfeng castle just get a good harvest, and it''s completely enough? Why do you need to import a lot of grain?"


    "There are many reasons, not simply to fill the stomach," Arthur said. "I plan to build a new wine factory to produce wine for nobles and mercenaries."


    "Wine?"


    Gustav looked at Arthur with a little surprise. He didn''t understand why the other party suddenly had the idea of making wine.


    "Arthur," said Gustav, "although my admiration for you can no longer be expressed in words, as your friend - you know, I used to be a businessman. Therefore, I must remind you that wine making is not a good business. Most nobles only drink eries."


    The wine in this world and the wine on earth are not the same kind of goods at all, but a thick drink made by mashing grains or fruits, adding various spices and simple fermentation.


    Its taste is probably equivalent to adding vinegar, sugar, a little cooking wine, and sour porridge sprinkled with a little coriander. If you drink it in your mouth, you can not only chew, but even satisfy your hunger.


    Gustav reminded Arthur that wine making is not a good business because the nobles basically only drink wine from two places - Ellis and their own farm.


    Every noble Lord''s farm will have a winemaker specially responsible for brewing wine, which is a very important profession, just like Baker and blacksmith.


    The reason why the wine brewed by Ellis can be favored or even sought after by the nobles is that compared with the wine brewed in the nobles'' farm, the wine produced by Ellis has two important characteristics.


    First, they will filter out the broken residue in the wine to make the wine look more thorough and bright.


    Ordinary wine looks like paste, while Elis''s wine looks like modern drinks with different colors. In the eyes of aristocrats, this difference is a symbol of nobility.


    Second, Elise''s wine is a kind of wine that can really make people drunk.


    In this world, there is no distilled wine, and because of the brewing process and the lack of understanding of the use of koji, the alcohol content of the wine in this world is very low.


    If you drink ordinary ale, you will only get slightly drunk even if your stomach is full.


    The wine produced by Ellis has an obvious wine taste.


    Arthur once asked Boye and ilu about this, but they didn''t know the reason.


    According to Arthur''s guess, the elites should have mastered the correct brewing technology.


    Although there is no such thing as Jiuqu in this world, as long as we master the correct brewing methods, such as cooking and germination, so that the wine will not be corrupt and sour during long-term fermentation. It should be possible to brew wine with a temperature of about 10 degrees.


    When Arthur came to this world, the first thing he ate was the wine made by Ellis.


    Although it is also very difficult to drink, it is like a mixture of vinegar and cooking wine.


    Facing Gustav''s reminder, Arthur didn''t hurry to explain, but asked LIA, who was waiting on the side, to go to the kitchen with a crystal cup and get a glass of cooking wine.


    As a person who can''t find anything to eat when watching "China on the tip of the tongue" on a big night and has to make cold granules to relieve his cravings, Arthur has worked hard to comfort his internal organs!


    Cooking wine is the fermented wine brewed from wheat. Because it has not been distilled, the degree should only be more than ten degrees.


    Looking at the crystal cup in front of him, with Arthur''s sign, Gustav came forward and sniffed it. After smelling the aroma of wine from the glass, he looked at Arthur with surprise.


    "Is this wine?!"


    Although Arthur said the word "wine" when he told Leah, he really thought it was a glass of water when he saw such a clear glass.


    Arthur was very satisfied with Gustav''s reaction, and then smiled and said, "don''t you like hot fat intestines? It''s due to it. Try it."


    He raised his hand and motioned Gustav to taste it.


    "I just want to do that!" Gustav picked up the glass with a little excitement, put it under his nose and sniffed again. "God, this thing is really fragrant!"


    With that, he took a big gulp directly.


    When the wine went into his throat, Gustav widened his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened his mouth and breathed out. His eyes kept blinking on his fat face.


    "God! It''s like having sex with a woman!"
