These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

Breeding and improvement is not the intellectual privilege of traversers, and the kingdom of elves has already started researching it.

It's just that Knox has always paid little attention to this area. No, it should be said that few people in the Knox Empire understand internal affairs.

A big reason for this has to do with Knox's folk customs, and there is a joke circulating in the world.

"The Knox Empire is very good at fighting, they are very good at fighting, but they can only fight."

The invincible empire gained a fairly wide territory, so each noble in the empire can be allocated a territory much larger than that of the nobles of other countries.

This has caused the imperial nobles to receive a large amount of tax wealth almost as long as they lie down. Apart from other things, this is the case with his family alone.

A large part of Farvin's annual income comes from the sale of gemstone minerals and territorial taxes.

In the empire, there are many nobles like Howard who are busy fighting everywhere after taking over the family. They don't understand the operation of agriculture or even business at all.

And they don't have the interest to study it. For the imperial people who advocate force, only the battlefield is their stage.

A family like Loka that only cares about making money is regarded as a kind of alien in the entire empire.

But also because of the armistice of the empire, many nobles couldn't find new goals in life for a while. Even if the emperor personally called for more attention to the development of internal affairs, he could still hear famines happening from time to time. Judging by the effect It wasn't much better.

So when he, the duke's son, unexpectedly made a name for himself, it shocked many people who were worried about the status quo of the empire.

They probably didn't realize that the reason why Du Wei promoted breeding and improvement at the beginning was just to make the rabbit people earn more money, at least to be self-sufficient, otherwise, if Du Wei kept raising them, Mei Ye would have a problem.

Although he had never raised livestock in his previous life, breeding is not an esoteric knowledge. The easiest way is to keep individuals with good physique and fast growth for breeding, so that the individuals born from the combination of excellent genes may be super excellent.

And Rose Manor can shorten the long-feather chickens by more than a month in just a few years. I think the most important factor is that the environment in the manor is very clean, and the feed is also imported from the kingdom of elves through Karina's relationship. first class.

Now that the matter has attracted the attention of all the bosses, his Rose Manor has gradually developed in the direction of research and development, and it is clear that the identities of these rabbitmen have even been ordered by the empire to conduct personal data control.

Of course, not all problems encountered by the manor were troublesome. For example, the director of agriculture opened the door to Du Wei. For example, any livestock breed or plant seeds he wanted, as long as he was willing to submit a copy of the research results to him, Then he will try his best to get it for him.

I have no objection to handing over the research results, not to mention the financial department has guaranteed that he will not suffer from sales.

"Let's take a look at the total annual income of last year... oh oh, last year's income has soared nearly five times!"

Even he, the son of the duke, was surprised by the numbers on the document. Could it be Dabai's miscalculation?

In the past, although Rose Manor also made stable money, its income has always been very ordinary. After all, the rabbit people he took in were not many, and the cost was high. It is impossible to expand the production under the condition of lack of manpower and quality. What's more, he doesn't have the energy to expand it now.

Du Wei will be enrolled in the Royal Academy next year, and the current primary goal of Rose Manor is to find an agent to help manage the manor when he leaves.

And Dabai is one of the agents he cultivated with all his heart. Now when Du Wei is not in the manor, he is responsible for helping to manage the operation of the manor.

Du Wei pointed to one of the columns in the file in confusion.

"Huh? Last year's medicinal materials didn't burst into production, so why did the income soar?"

Great explanation.

"Last year's medicinal materials were snapped up by elves, and the price more than doubled when the price was the highest."

"Ah? Why?"

Dabai tilted his head and said.

"According to rumors, the elves think that we have produced too much, and all of them are of good quality. They bought them back for research. It is said that they also bought a lot of animal bones at the same time."

"......what?"

True or false, the shares have been exposed?It's only been a few years, and it has attracted the attention of the elves.

Sigh, forget it, no matter how much they experiment, it’s useless. Only the bone meal that has been put into his inventory can have this effect. It is impossible for the elves to reproduce it. Tsukuru didn't hear it, just keep making a fortune in silence!

"By the way, since the manor earned so much last year, let's pack a bigger red envelope bonus this year to make everyone happy."

The biggest contributors to the manor are the rabbit farmers who are outside in the wind and rain day and night. Since Du Wei has followed him, Du Wei will never treat them badly.

087 From today onwards, I will be transferred to the boar rider

As the saying goes, Lu Bu is among the people, and the red rabbit is among the horses.

As the son of a duke, Du Wei's worth has reached Lu Bu's status, and his car must naturally meet his status, so today he is sitting in the carriage driving to the trading market in the imperial capital, planning to get himself a handsome ride .

The reason why he suddenly wanted to get a mount was that Howard happened to see him wandering around on a pony a few days ago.

Would it be listenable if word got out that the future heir of the Falvin family actually rode a dirt pony for plowing the fields?

So Huo Weide asked him to go to the trading market in the imperial capital to see if there was any suitable mount for him. Huo Weide had only one requirement, and that was to be attractive enough.

Leaving aside whether it is flirtatious or not, Du Wei actually thinks this is quite good. Horses are very good at recognizing people, and if you don't spend time cultivating feelings with them, it will be particularly troublesome to control.

Especially when Du Wei borrowed military horses from the camp before, those military horses reacted very arrogantly to him, a stranger.

This can't help but make Du Wei miss Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei is a small miniature horse specially bought by his family to cultivate his equestrian skills when he was a child. At the beginning, it often threw him on the ground. Du Wei spent nearly a month It's time to get on good terms with it.

Now Xiao Hei has been adopted by him to Xiao Bai as a playmate, but as long as Du Wei returns to the manor, Xiao Hei will run over and rub his thighs intimately, which is really cute!

"However, what I want to choose this trip is not a pet but a mount. Do you have any recommended mounts?"

Du Wei asked Tiehua, the dog leg who was in charge of guarding today.

Tiehua thought for a while and said.

"How about the Wenger horses produced in Man'er Territory? Wenger horses are famous for their fast feet, and their beautiful coat color is as bright as red, so that Wenger horses enjoy the reputation of running fire."

"The horse produced on Emily's family territory, I have seen her ride it a few times, and it looks good, but since we are almost at the market, tell me about other kinds of mounts, for example, besides A mount other than a horse, I saw someone riding a big black panther some time ago."

Tiehua shook her head.

"Boss, I advise you to choose a horse. It takes a long time to domesticate that kind of monster mount, and it is difficult to eradicate wildness. The most important thing is that the feed will be very troublesome."

"Feed? It's not that I don't have money."

How could he, the son of a majestic duke and the owner of Rose Manor, couldn't afford to buy feed.

Tiehua hurriedly explained.

"Boss, of course you are rich, but what I'm talking about is the trouble in field supplies. Horses can be thrown away and let them eat grass to recover their strength, but carnivores like black panthers have to eat fresh meat. You can't always Bring a lot of fresh meat with you every time you go out."

"I have a space bag, that's not a problem."

"Uh..... The main thing is that the beast is hard to pick. You can't store the monster mount in the stable when you are staying in the hotel, otherwise the horse corpse will definitely appear the next day."

Poverty restricts Tiehua's thinking. She avoids food and focuses on the problem of being difficult to domesticate.

But what she said was true. To be honest, he was not sure how to tame a beast in a short time. He didn't expect to pay so much attention to choosing a mount.

"Hey, why don't you just grab a druid and use it as a mount, you can ride whatever you want."

"..."

Madam Che's voice came from the front.

"Master, the trading market is here."

"Oh! Stop it."

It was not the first time for him to come to the big trading market in Midtown, but Du Wei used to visit local product areas or food streets, and this was the first time he had experienced a place selling mounts.

After getting off the carriage, someone came to receive them soon.

A middle-aged man with a slightly plump physique rubbed his hands and said flatteringly.

"Master Du Wei is very welcome. I will be your guide today."

Du Wei waved his hand casually.

"Don't be so cautious, anyway, take me in and have a look."

Afterwards, they walked and chatted to Du Wei's goal here, the mount sales area in the trading market.

In the content of the chat with the shopping guide, Du Wei understood that buying a mount is not such a simple matter...for ordinary people.

Mounts are not something that you can buy as you like in games, because it is a kind of strategic material. Basically, healthy horses are only supplied to the military, and the grades open to ordinary civilians are mostly lower.

And the purchase process is also very cumbersome, such as purchase certificates, blood certificates, and so on.

The matter is not as simple as paying the money and taking the mount away as in the game. After all, horses also need to pay customs duties when they enter the city. If they can show the proof of purchase before leaving the customs, according to the law, the merchants in this country can reduce part of the import duties. .

But if you can’t show the certificate, you will be in trouble. First of all, the customs duty will be heavy, and you will be searched by the guards. After all, the horse may be stolen. If someone happens to call the police when the horse is stolen when you enter the customs, the second One of the suspects is naturally you.

But these things will not happen to the nobles, this is the privilege of the powerful, especially the big nobles with amazing background like Du Wei, they can go everywhere smoothly, and only the palace needs to be searched.

This made the members of the Iron Man Group who had just been picked up by him at that time particularly impressed. As mountain people, it was almost commonplace for them to be made things difficult by the city gate guards in the past.

After all, everyone knows that Du Wei is extremely protective, not to mention the mountain people like Tiehua, even the orcs like Xiaobai are all protected by him as his own family.

There was an incident in the past, Du Wei took Xiaobai to the upper city of the imperial capital for shopping, and wanted to buy some beautiful clothes for his cute rabbit sister, but when he ran to the toilet, Xiaobai was caught A short-sighted noble young master was entangled.

As an older brother, Du Wei naturally couldn't tolerate his younger sister being bullied, but he didn't want to be said that he was bullying her by taking advantage of his family's power, so at first he actually wanted to sit down and communicate with her.

As a result, the other party not only failed to recognize him, but also thought that Du Wei must have a bad background because he was a lowly orc, so he started booing, and even threw away his white gloves and said that he had the kind to single out.

Who is Du Wei!

How could he, who has been walking sideways since he was a child, endure this kind of provocation!

So he immediately agreed to the opponent's one-on-one challenge, and as soon as he walked out of the shop, Du Wei waved his hand, and the Iron Man gang rushed up to beat up the noble young master.

In fact, Du Wei was full of admiration for the opponent's courage at the time, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to challenge them all alone.

Afterwards, the young master with a bruised nose and swollen face ran away in despair after uttering harsh words. The next morning, the young master's father brought him with an even more swollen face to apologize to Du Wei.

The magnanimous Du Wei forgave them after asking for some spiritual compensation. From that time on, rumors gradually spread that he was extremely defensive and narrow-minded.

"boss."

Alas, he is obviously a good person.

"Boss, hello, boss—"

But there are always people in this world who want to force him, and he is also forced to...

Snapped!

"It hurts! Tiehua, why did you hit me? Didn't you see that I was meditating? After all, I am also your employer!"

This guy actually slapped him on the back of the head. He has no professionalism at all. It seems that he needs to deal with it.

Tie Hua rolled her eyes at him.

"You lost your mind and daydreamed for a while halfway through the road. I thought you were hallucinating."

Du Wei rubbed the top of his head and threatened.

"Then you can't hit me on the head, so where will I save my face, I will deduct your salary for this month."

When it comes to salary, Tiehua immediately rebounded and threatened.

"Oh, then I will report to Madam that last time you ordered my brother to lead a group of people to attack other noble young masters with cloth bags."

"Hey, actually, I was just talking about it just now. How can we deduct your salary if we have such a good relationship? Let's have some snacks together later."

"Ha ha."

Tsk, it's better to take the iron man with the guard next time, what kind of cute girl guard will only cause trouble for himself.

The shopping guide seemed to have heard some big secret inadvertently, and was very frightened.

"...Master, can we get down to business?"

Oh oh oh, digressing, I'm still choosing my car now.

"We are now in a district where well-known horses come from all over Knox."

The shopping guide enthusiastically introduced to him the characteristics and advantages of these horse breeds, such as the Hayward horse that is good at long-distance running and has amazing endurance, or the tall and burly Quayles horse that is often used in cavalry combat. The Wenger horse of the family also appeared on the market.

Of course, these are higher-end war horses, and the agricultural horses and commercial horses for civilians are in another large area.

"Hmm... which one looks the trendiest?"

After looking at all the horse breeds for a round, Du Wei still couldn't make a decision.

The merits of those horses don't matter to him. Du Wei has only one goal, which is to look handsome and fashionable!

The shopping guide asked with a puzzled expression.

"Tide? A horse that looks smoother? For a female horse, go to the slave market next door..."

Du Wei hastily interrupted the shopping guide who was full of obscene thoughts.

"Tide means that it looks very handsome. If you ride it, you will definitely become the focus of the audience. By the way! Are there any bloody BMWs? It's the kind that can travel thousands of miles a day while running and spurting blood."

The shopping guide grabbed his collar nervously. How could there be such an idiot question? Could it be that he wanted to find an excuse to kill him?
