Brian couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Could it be that a lord who knows how to settle accounts is a lord who is greedy for money?

Although he does like money, it doesn't mean that Brian has no lower limit for money.

Those dead soldiers were also important forces in his territory, and it would cost more than 100 gold coins to recruit them.

Ignoring Mayor House's ridiculous remarks, Brian continued to ask.

"Did the lords invest in Phoenix Town in the past to help you expand your industry and raise taxes?

Upon hearing that the lord wanted to invest in Phoenix Town, Mayor House immediately came to introduce it energetically.

"The former Viscount Horton really had no intention of investing in Phoenix Town. He spent all the money on military training.

However, the first two Viscount Horton did expand two velvet factories, which became the main income of Phoenix Town.

But the velvet output is already saturated, so there is no need to expand now.”

Otherwise, if you think about it, rich people buy more luxury goods like velvet, and the output is higher in big cities. Why bother to buy it in a small place like this?

"Then what does our viscounty lack most?"

Mayor House blurted out without thinking.

"Of course the most lacking thing is iron and copper, but without ore, it is useless to build smelters and blacksmith shops.

However, the land here is fertile and very suitable for growing sugar beets. There is a sugar factory in Fenghuang Town that has been operating for many years. The sugar it produces is very popular among people who come and go, and it is an important specialty of Fenghuang Town.

Lord, you can spend 2,000 gold coins to build another sugar factory, and workers can be recruited directly from the townspeople.

After deducting salary, I can probably provide you with an income of 100 gold coins every month."

Mayor House's suggestion was very pertinent, and Brian was very moved.

Even in the magical world, the productivity of the Middle Ages made sugar still a luxury product, although the nobles were not addicted to sugar.

This is a must-have for every meal, and it never worries about sales. No matter how much is produced, people will buy it.

The only trouble is that Landsburg is located in the northeastern part of the mainland. It is too cold to grow sugar cane plants. If you want to extract sugar, you can only grow sugar beets.

Increasing the yield of sugar beets requires occupying a large amount of land. If all sugar beets are grown, although the sugar produced can be sold at a high price, people will go hungry without food.

Brian is not the kind of person who will do anything for money. The tragedy of sheep eating people will never happen here.

The only way is to produce more food on the same land, so that more land can be made available for sugar beet cultivation without reducing production.

After all, we turned to the issue of canals. The hilly areas in the north are just suitable for growing sugar beets. As long as the irrigation problem is solved, the sugar beets harvested every year will be enough to supply the production of the new sugar factory.

"Okay, I accept your suggestion. I will write a letter and ask Steward Carl of Lansburg to allocate 2,000 gold coins to you to build a sugar factory. I hope Mayor House will not disappoint me."

Mayor House said with excitement on his chubby face.

"I will never let you down. Fenghuang Town has mature sugar making technology. I will take you to visit the sugar factory now. Those old masters will introduce to you how sweet the sugar produced in Fenghuang Town is."

Brian nodded and followed Mayor Monkey through the alleys to the industrial area of ​​Ceramic Town, which is an area composed of small workshops.

To be precise, it should be called the workshop area. When Brian patrolled the workshop area, he always felt that someone was watching him, but when he stopped to look, he couldn't find anyone who could.

After getting Sean Black to whisper a few words in his ear, Sean Black immediately sneaked into the crowd, looking for the secret watcher.

Sean Black's strength is not very high. He barely entered the junior knights and was about the same as Brian. If he hadn't been somewhat related to his mother, it would have been impossible for him to be promoted to be the captain of the guard.

And he doesn’t know much about this place, so why must he be sent there? Horton Knight and Jack are obviously more suitable for this task.

But who made Horton Knight the person in charge of force here? Otherwise, he would not have planned to escape from the mountain. As long as he has the strongest force at his side, protecting his own safety is the first priority. If someone is watching, just watch, and don't

There will be less meat.

As for Jack, a smooth-tongued guy, although he is good at flattery, today was only the first time they met, so Brian did not fully trust him.

So it's better to let Sean Black adapt to his circumstances. It's best if he can catch the person following him. It doesn't matter if he can't.

Soon they came to the sugar factory, or sugar workshop.

As soon as I walked into the sugar factory, I was greeted by a thin old man. He was the director of the sugar factory and he was also a sugar artist.

I heard that the lord had arrived and was going to expand a sugar factory, so I respected him even more and introduced the situation of the sugar factory in detail.

Brian felt that he still underestimated ordinary people of this era.

Their sugar-making technology is no weaker than the traditional sugar-making methods in ancient China, and both the sugar yield and purity are very high.

What surprised Brian even more was that the sanitary conditions here were also very good, and the workers even wore uniforms and hats.

It would be better if Brian invented masks again and put them on them.

Brian suddenly realized that not only was the workshop very hygienic, it should be said that the sanitary conditions in the entire Phoenix Town were also very good.

There are no dirty streets in the Middle Ages in the book, with feces and urine everywhere, and the stinky smell.

Because he has always been accustomed to modern life, he also spent time in castles and manors after time travel. This allowed him to ignore the possible problems of this era.

Brian carefully searched his memory for the situation in the royal capital and the appearance of other cities.

As expected, only the areas where nobles lived were relatively tidy, while the urban areas and slums where civilians lived were still dirty and messy.

This prevents people from realizing that Mayor House may actually be a talented person. At least he is doing a good job in urban sanitation. He praised Mayor House.

"Mayor House, I found that the streets in Phoenix Town are clean and tidy, not at all dirty like other cities. You are the most responsible for this. Can you tell me about your advanced experience?"

It seemed like the mayor waved his hand modestly and said.

"There is no advanced experience. It is all led by the nobles. I only did the classification, and Jack deserves credit for this.

He grew up on the streets and slept on the streets during the most difficult times. He hated the dirty environment.
