Merlin Bay, Farland Islands.

The sea breeze in the early morning has a slightly salty smell. Although the sky is only getting brighter, the surrounding temperature is already a bit muggy.

The Farland Islands are surrounded by the ocean. Although they are not far from the mainland of Idar, perhaps due to the influence of ocean currents, the overall climate conditions are more inclined to the subtropical type on the earth.

When Peterson woke up, a large family was still asleep.

My son Allen was lying naked on the back of the crib, probably dreaming. There was still a smile on his face.

Peterson's wife worked the night shift yesterday and came back very late, so he couldn't bear to disturb his wife's sleep.

He yawned lightly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and tiptoed out the door.

The sea breeze felt comfortable on his face, and the smell of the ocean hidden in the air reminded him of the fish he ate a few days ago.

The fish meat is white, tender and very fresh, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it now.

He came to the Farland Islands half a year ago.

In order to develop the Farland Islands as quickly as possible and leave himself a way out overseas, Bruno at that time sent nearly a thousand refugees to the Farland Islands to open up wasteland and farm with the Idar soldiers.

And Peterson is one of them.

At that time, he suffered from the war and was driven away by countless nobles. Finally, he came to the Idar Territory located in the easternmost part of the empire.

Originally, he was already heartbroken, so when he heard that the Idar people were going to transport them to an overseas island by ship, the whole family panicked.

Although they were only the lowest level of civilians, they also knew the dangers beyond the land. Not to mention the pirates who walked on the tip of the knife, in his opinion at the time, the true purpose of the Idar people was even open to question!

If his wife and children weren't on the boat, Peterson even thought about jumping into the sea and escaping!

Now, he was very glad that he did not arbitrarily speculate on the purpose of the Idar people, because on this overseas archipelago, he felt the life of a free citizen for the first time!

There is a military port of the Idar Navy on the island. When he first saw the huge three-masted warship, he even took a breath! (Mainly because there is no air conditioning in the French Islands...)

This is equivalent to a country bumpkin who is used to seeing rafts drifting, and suddenly sees a giant ship of 10,000 tons. Although it has nothing to do with him, he still can't help but his legs tremble and his face is full of longing.

Of course,

Nor would he know that those burly men wearing the sailor uniforms of the Idar Whaling Company, who docked at the Farland Islands from time to time to unload and recuperate, were the pirates he had been worried about before...

Peterson lives in a dormitory provided by a noble lord in Idar. Each family has a single room, so it is not far from his workplace. It only takes ten minutes to walk.

He enjoyed walking to work.

Surrounded by mountains, forests and fields that were in urgent need of development, and smooth and winding cement roads at his feet, before he came to the French Islands, he had never thought that the most humble people at the bottom could actually experience things other than working for the nobles.

The neighing of war horses and the shouts of soldiers could be heard from time to time in the distant mountains and forests. The sounds came from Papa Smurf's breeding farm on the island. He was used to these shouts.

Because someone has long told the people living on this island that this is to scare those magical creatures that the soldiers of Idar call the Blue Glyph Golem.

Peterson doesn't know what a blue glyph golem is, but since it is a magical creature, in his opinion, they must be some very powerful guys...

Since the Farland Islands had always been viewed by Bruno as his retreat from the very beginning, the island had a very complete industrial system and even a large amount of grain reserves shipped from Idar.

If the Idar Territory falls,

Then the French Islands will become Bruno's counterattack on the mainland... Why does it feel weird...

(Cross it out!)

anyway,

Although the various industries in the French Islands are complete, they are all small and small.

At present, the most important industry in the French Islands is the cultivation of coffee beans and tobacco!

Peterson and his wife both found jobs at the Idar Cigarette Factory in the northeast of Île-de-France.

The climate of the French Isles is very suitable for growing coffee beans and tobacco. In addition, the French Isles is the largest island among the eight islands in the French Isles. Therefore, under the instruction of Siebel, the governor of the French Isles, the French Isles are located in the French Isles. The plain and hilly area in the northeast has developed into the largest tobacco plantation in the entire Principality of Idar.

Although it has been a long time since the cigarette factory was opened, it is actually only now that the first batch of flue-cured tobacco from the Idar Cigarette Factory has finally begun official mass production.

The reason why it took such a long time was mainly because the Idar people lacked control of the baking temperature and time.

Tobacco growing is the foundation and baking is the key.

The initial curing and threshing of tobacco leaves are undoubtedly the two most important steps in the production of cigarettes. They are also the only way to transform fresh tobacco into raw tobacco and reveal its ideal color and unique flavor.

"coming?"

In front of the cigarette factory, the usual workers said hello cheerfully.

"Yeah." Peterson nodded.

He knew very well in his heart that if it were in other places, how could ordinary people like them have such relaxed faces?

"We won! The Principality of Idar was established! Lord Sibel said he would give us half a month's more wages!" The workers' faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

"Really?!" After hearing this, Peterson's eyes suddenly brightened.

"The Principality of Idar is better!" Everyone agreed.

After the excitement, it’s repetitive work again.

There is no Stonehenge in the Farland Islands, so it is naturally impossible to use mechanized production on a large scale.

Therefore, among the seven traditional steps of initial curing of tobacco leaves, threshing and re-curing, tobacco leaf fermentation, cigarette formula, cigarette silk making, cigarette rolling, and cigarette packaging, only the first few steps are done in the French Isles. ongoing.

As for the remaining steps such as adding materials, silk making, and packaging, they are all completed locally in Idar.

This is also to save a certain amount of labor costs. After all, the land in the Farland Islands is limited, and every inch of land has detailed planning. Since it can be realized at a lower cost in the Idar Territory, there is no need to arrange it in the Farland Islands. .

Smoking is harmful to health. For the Principality of Idar, this is not an industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood. It was just an industry that Bruno created to make money.

Bruno in his previous life was an outstanding young man of the new era who did not smoke or drink, and refused pornography, gambling and drugs!

Work in a cigarette factory is quite boring.

Peterson and others are mainly responsible for baking and fermentation.

In fact, according to common sense, tobacco leaves that have not been stored and fermented for more than one year can only be regarded as new tobacco, and have varying degrees of quality defects.

so,

While making cigarettes, Idar Cigarette Factory also plans to launch a new business - pipes and pipe shreds.

Only merchants and mercenaries smoked cigarettes.

The arrogant aristocratic men always smoked pipes!

Presumably the noble (stupid) people (sons) of the Kingdom of Basel will be very willing to pay for the new products of the Norman Family.
