Chapter 46 Dongsen brand canned food In the last week of December, the whole human world is immersed in a joyful atmosphere, although many people have died because of the attack of the Soul Eater last year, but in this world where the flow of information is not developed, all civilians are immersed in their own small circles, as long as the man on the other side still beats his wife, as long as the old woman next door still catches herself and nags, then this world is peaceful, if the boss does not deduct wages, then this world is not only peaceful, it is even more beautiful.
Unlike the usual monthly market, which is seven days before the first day of January of the new year, every day is a day of carnival for the vendors, and the peasants from a hundred miles of Ivorda are now flocking to the city to buy food, clothing and gifts for the children for the upcoming New Year.
The Day of Grace is the most important festival of mankind, it is the day when the thirteen saints established the kingdom of mankind, and it is also the starting point of the calendar used by mankind today, even the poorest families will cook a large plate of meat on this day to change their children into new clothes, and every city, village and town will also hold a carnival of the Day of Grace, on this day, whether it is the lowliest poor or the noble nobles, they will wear their most beautiful clothes and brave the cold wind to join the ranks of the carnival.
This year, the most popular gift for the commoners of Ivorda is the canned fruit produced by the Northern Territory, which is said to be produced in the Elven Forest to make people live as long as elves, of course, scholars and nobles naturally scoff at this statement, but this statement is widely spread among the commoners, so the canned food produced in the Three Dukedoms in the North has long been sold out, and the canned food that should be ordinary food has become scarce in the Inner Domain.
When the Northern Domain's subordinate chambers of commerce looked at the empty shelves and the gold coins piled up in the vault that were about to overflow and were painful and happy, a piece of news knocked all the Northern Domain's subordinate chambers of commerce head-on.
Five chambers of commerce in Ivorda also have large quantities of canned food on their shelves, mainly canned meat, and a small amount canned sugar water made from shelf-stable fruits from East Son County.
Although these cans are not as delicate and delicious as those produced in the northern territory, these counterfeits were snapped up as soon as they appeared.
In the factory on the outskirts of the Summit Chamber of Commerce, President Summit was watching the roar of a huge steel machine with several people of different shapes but eyes with the same sparkle in their eyes.
"Brother Summit, you're in the limelight this time, and your canned food is now unique in the Inner Domain!"
A fat merchant, fatter than Bunier, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and complimented that although it was winter, the workshop of the cannery was extremely hot.
"Brother Thomas, you are too polite, the reason why I was able to build this canning factory is not because of your help, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even want to build this production line next year with the few alchemists under my hands."
Summit also had an uncontrollable smile on his lips at this time, looking at the continuous production of cans, President Summit had already seen the future of his domination of the business of Dongsen County.
Hearing President Summit's humility, all the chamber presidents smiled.
"Brother Summit, what are we going to do next?
If we continue with this momentum, I'm afraid that the fruits stored by all our chambers of commerce will not be able to support it next summer.
President Thomas tucked his handkerchief into his pocket and asked President Summit with some concern.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already thought about this problem, since we can build the first cannery, then we can build the second and third, although Dongsen County only produces fruits in summer and autumn, but there are places on the mainland that produce fruits and vegetables all year round, as long as we build the factory there, I'm afraid even the canneries in the northern territory can't compete with us, right?"
Summit said confidently.
"You mean to go to the south to build a factory?!"
The president of a chamber of commerce who runs a business in the southern territory said in surprise.
"That's right, whether it is Belaku, Baihuo, or Qianfan Island, they all have a lot of fruit output, Beilaku is the closest to the inner region and is also the most ideal place for us to build a factory, Baihuo and Qianfan Island need to be transported by ship to the port in the east of Belaku to reach the inner region, although this will increase the cost, but it can add more variety to our goods.
By that time, we will be a new generation of legendary businessmen in the mainland!
Summit said, waving his hands with some excitement.
"But how to solve the problem of those lords, the lords of the outer regions are not as easy to talk as the nobles of the inner regions, and the lords of the three southern territories are said to be very rude."
Thomas pondered for a moment and asked his question.
"We just need to tie their interests to us, so that those lords can earn money without hard work by investing in shares, and the fool will not agree, and we can also tie the nobles of the Inner Regions to our chariots in the same way, so that our caravan will be unhindered wherever it goes!"
If Zhao Yannian heard President Summit's words at the scene at this time, I am afraid that he would immediately applaud him, although in this era, President Summit's ideas are a bit arrogant, but there is enough possibility for people to fight.
The merchants began to debate the feasibility of Chairman Summit's proposal, and the steady stream of canned food stimulated the businessmen's already high-speed brains to burst into countless ideas.
The city lord's mansion of Ivorda, Count Belloc is now having a headache, these days for his personal legion Emerald Blood Earl is busy with a lot of anxiety, since the ancestors have followed the Belok family to fight in all directions, the most important component of which is three hundred great magician-level forest elves, the family to which these elves belong has an alliance with the ancestors of the Bellock family, and every fifty years will send three hundred adult forest elves to serve in Emerald Blood.
Today's elves were served by Count Belloc when he was a child, and they have been in Ivorda for thirty years, and the canned fruit that was popular this autumn was also bought by Count Belloc after learning the news, and the forest elves who had been away from their homeland for a long time burst into tears after eating the taste of their hometown.
This was a good thing, and the elven mages were happy with the earl who had grown up, but in the months that followed, things gradually turned sour.
In the past two months, although Count Belloc has been raising cans in many ways to meet the needs of these elven mages under his command, what Count Belloc can acquire has never been able to meet the needs of elven mages.
What's more, these elves are the existence of Uncle Bellock's generation, and they have been playing with him since he was a child, and when the transportation was inconvenient before, you couldn't bring fruit from the elf forest, and we can bear it, but now that you have canned fruits that can be stored for a long time, you can't buy it as an earl?
Although the elven mages did not directly blame Count Bellok, from the eyes of the elven mages, Count Belloc felt that if he could not guarantee the food supply of the elves, he might not be able to summon people in the future.
"What do the elves think of the new cans?"
Yesterday the Summit's Chamber of Commerce sent a batch of canned fruit, and the Count of Belloc was overjoyed and immediately sent the canned food to the residence of the Verdant Blood.
"Master, the fruits in the new cans are all produced locally in our Dongsen County, and the elves are tired of eating them, so the evaluation is not very good."
The housekeeper said with an embarrassed face.
"Hasn't the Duke of Reese of Northshire replied?"
The evaluation is not very good, which means that it is not good at all, and the Earl of Belloc can only hope that the Duke of Reese, who is in the northern county, will give him a batch of canned food.
"The Duke of the Northern County hasn't replied yet, but I spent money to buy the steward of the Chamber of Commerce, and according to the steward, all the canned food produced this year has basically been sold out, except for the part that is used as a supply for the army, I'm afraid there won't be much left from the three dukes of the Northern Domain."
The butler's face was even more ugly.
The Count of Belloc was silent for a moment.
"And what if we open a cannery in the South?"
"My lord, I'm afraid the merchant is not capable of completing this task in a short time."

The butler said with a smile.
Duke Fourier angrily appeared in Duke Reese's study.
With a bang, a bottle of can slammed into Jin Nanmu's table.
"Look at it, it's all good things that Anthony did!!"
Duke Fourier said angrily to Duke Reese.
"I know that the process of canning is not complicated, and even if it is kept secret, it will leak out, and it is only a matter of time."
Duke Reece reached out and took the can and looked at it for a moment, then looked up at Duke Fourier and said calmly.
"It's a matter of time, but this time is too fast, it wasn't stolen by others, but you sent it out."
For this product, which significantly increased the income of his territory, the Duke of Fourier was very concerned about the monopoly of the canning producers.
"My dear aunt, our cans are selling well because of the contents of the cans, not these shiny silver sheets."
The Duke of Reese put the can on top of his mouth and smiled calmly.
"But in terms of fruits, it's not just our northern territory, the fruits of the southern territory bear fruit all year round, and they have a much greater advantage than us."
The Duke of Fourier was not just angry at the appearance of canned food in the eastern county, but if the outflow of canning technology caused the south to start producing canned food as well, then the products of his own territory would completely lose their advantage.
"Please be at ease, my dear uncle, these matters have been discussed with the Earl of Black, and in a few months there will be a perfect answer to this matter."
Duke Reese looked into Duke Fourier's eyes and said sincerely.
"What are you hiding from me?!
Looks like I should ask your aunt to come and talk to you.
Duke Fourier replied angrily.
