Chapter 20 There is fine wine in Maple Creek Town

If he could save 1,000 achievement points, Brian would directly summon an engineering team from a foreign land to start building canals and first establish the entire viscounty's irrigation system.

After all, that is what Brian has promised publicly, and it must be realized in a short period of time to have the effect of standing upright.

Ever since he traveled through time, a maid has been there to help Brian get up every morning, but today no one came.

Brian walked out of the door and saw Horton Knight guarding the door with Luna and Sean Black.

And not only them, but even Jack and Mayor House looked worriedly from a distance, but did not dare to come over.

Horton Knight asked after seeing Brian come out.

"Sir Brian, how is your practice? We didn't disturb you, did we?"

Brian nodded and said.

"It's going well. I'm already an intermediate knight. Are you always guarding the door?"

Sean Black replied.

"That's not true. The three of us took turns guarding in front of your room last night, and no one disturbed your practice.

Mayor House and Jack wanted to see you after dawn, but we stopped them."

At this time, Mayor House and Jack heard their conversation and ran over to congratulate Brian on his advancement.

Brian nodded to them and asked them to wait in the front hall. They would go there after he finished washing up. He also asked the three people who had been guarding him all night to take a rest.

From Luna's perspective, they just did what the guards should do, but Brian who came through time did not have the bad habits of the great nobles, and expressed his gratitude to them for their loyalty to their duties.

Then the maid brought hot water to help Brian wash up. To be honest, the maids arranged by Mayor House were indeed not as considerate as those brought from the Duke's Palace.

And they were trembling in front of Brian, so Brian asked them to leave, he simply washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and then came to the front hall.

Mayor House and Jack immediately stood up and saluted Brian, and Brian waved his hand for them to sit down and said.

He also sat down and had breakfast served. While eating, he listened to their report.

It was Mayor House who was the first to stand up and report to Brian.

"Your Excellency, the sugar factory you arranged to invest in, 2,000 gold coins have been transported from Lansburgh to Phoenix Town. I have arranged for people to go to nearby cities to purchase sugar manufacturing equipment. The equipment should be shipped back within two months.

At the same time, contact the caravan to purchase a large amount of sugar beets. The nearby villages know that you are going to build a canal to irrigate the fields and agree to convert part of the land to sugar beets. There is no need to worry about the raw materials for the sugar factory for the time being.

Many caravans know that we are going to expand the sugar factory and have already started placing orders even before it is built. Don’t worry about sales, we will be able to provide you with a stable income in three months.”

Brian expressed his approval of Mayor House's efficiency and did not ask for a reward. Anyway, he took the benefits he deserved.

"I have been here for two days and I have seen your performance and I am very satisfied.

I am about to leave for Fengxi Town. After I leave, I hope you can continue your efforts and make preparations for the construction of the canal.

There will soon be a special engineering team to help you build the irrigation system, and you must communicate well with each village to ensure that spring plowing is not affected."

Mayor House and Jack naturally promised to complete the mission. After Brian had breakfast, the 20 knights accompanying him were also ready.

Mayor House and Jack also came to see him off with the guard soldiers.

Brian said casually while riding on the horse.

"You all should go back. The weather is nice today, just suitable for a long trip."

Jack answered immediately.

"Yes, the weather has been very good in the past month. I wish you a safe journey."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. It has been sunny since Brian traveled over, and it has not even rained since spring in his memory. This is not a good thing.

With worries in mind, Brian led the team towards Maple Creek Town, and asked Luna when she could arrive.

Luna said that they were leaving now and could arrive at Maple Creek Town for lunch. Mrs. Flitwick must have prepared a sumptuous banquet for everyone.

Sure enough, when they arrived at Fengqi Town, Luna's mother and housekeeper were already waiting at the door.

Brian showed enough respect for this woman who lost her husband and son. After all, they died fighting for human civilization.

When he arrived at the city gate, Brian dismounted and bowed slightly to Mrs. Flitwick.

"It's true that Mrs. Lovely came to the city gate to greet us. Luna often mentioned you to us, saying that you are a kind and elegant noble lady."

Mrs. Flitwick also gave Brian a lady's bow and said.

"Thank you, Lord, for your visit. Thank you for your compliments. We will treat you wholeheartedly. If you have any instructions, just tell us. We will ensure that you are satisfied."

After everyone exchanged a few polite words, they were led by Mrs. Flitwick to the Baron's mansion, where a sumptuous reception banquet had already been prepared.

Brian knew their intentions, but he really couldn't do anything. If his father, Duke Horsman, had spoken, he might have been able to influence the ownership of the barony.

Therefore, Brian turned a blind eye to Mrs. Flitwick's several temptations and turned to talk about business matters.

Brian wanted to copy the process he used in Phoenix Town. After all, the effect was good and it also increased prestige by 10 points.

When the industry invested by Brian is completed, the strength of the territory will be greatly improved.

You can ask about the specific situation of Fengxi Town, what industries are worth investing in, or if there are any problems that need to be solved.

It was not Mrs. Flitwick who answered Brian, but their butler Charles.

Maple Creek Town, as the fiefdom of Baron Flitwick, does not have a real mayor.

Butler Charles of the Flitwick family performs the duties of the town mayor, assisting the baron in managing Maple Creek Town and several surrounding villages.

Fengxi Town is not as large as Fenghuang Town, with a population of only about 13,000, which is a full 5,000 fewer people than Fenghuang Town.

Moreover, Maple Creek Town is far away from the Lime River and has no water transportation, so caravans rarely come here.

Except for the production of velvet and linen, there was little profit.

Just when Brian was a little disappointed, Charles said again.

"Dear Lord, although we don't have any decent industry in Maple Creek Town, the Flitwick family has always mastered the wine-making process, and the wineries outside the town produce high-quality wine every year.

What you are drinking now is the wine produced by the Flowe family. Based on your status and experience, you should be able to taste that the quality of this wine surpasses most wines on the market.
