Although the farm has fully returned to normal.
However, compared to the entire territory, this area is far too small.
Therefore, the environmental values did not improve much in terms of numerical value.
However, both the level of development and the level of happiness have improved significantly.
It is not comparable to the territories within most Imperium.
However, among the newly established territories in the Northlands, this figure is already considered quite good.
Chen Changhe glanced at his lord panel.
We've been at the farm for three days now.
Everything is back on track.
Everything on the farm was in perfect order, and a large wall had been built around it as a temporary defensive structure.
Behind the city wall was a row of newly built houses.
The farm currently has enough accommodations, but it certainly won't be able to meet the demand if the population increases.
The day after arriving, Ma Dexiang left with his caravan, taking with him a large quantity of fine wine produced in the Northlands.
Wines from the Northlands have always been a favorite luxury item among the Imperium nobility.
Especially those wines that have been aged in cellars for many years are known as "liquid gold," extremely precious and almost nowhere to be found on the market.
However, for many years, the Northlands has been shrouded in a fog of corruption.
Wine production in this land has nearly reached zero, becoming almost a distant legend.
Only on rare occasions will Dreadnought adventurers or ambitious lords be fortunate enough to discover small quantities of precious wine in hidden cellars while exploring this desolate land.
However, due to the effects of the Corruption Mists, the number of these wines that were able to be preserved intact was extremely limited.
Most of them were corrupted by the Corruption Divine Power and turned into a foul-smelling liquid that was inedible.
For the nobles of those Imperium, the existing wines of the Northlands were as precious as rare treasures. Each bottle was a testament to history, and every sip contained the former glory and honor of the Northlands.
Scarcity drives up prices, and with these wines touted as limited editions, their prices have skyrocketed, increasing dozens of times over.
Today, every drop of the finest wines from the Northlands is worth its weight in gold, or even more.
People flocked to this precious wine, willing to spend huge sums of money to taste it.
For those nobles, what they drank was not wine, but a symbol of status and position.
They would bring out these wines on important occasions to flaunt their wealth and taste.
Vasili had already collected a large quantity of wine from the Northlands.
They had previously discovered a cellar full of wine in the estate's cellar.
Due to the fog of Corruption Mists, most of the wine in the cellar had already rotted and spoiled.
Therefore, even though it was repeatedly looted by adventurers, it was not taken away by them.
After all, wine corrupted by the Corruption Mists is worthless.
However, after Chen Changhe occupied the territory, the Waaagh Power drove away the Divine Power of the Corruption Goddess in the territory.
The Corruption Divine Power within the already spoiled wine vanished without a trace, as if swept away by a gust of wind.
Instead, a fresh fragrance, like a flower just beginning to bloom in spring, exudes a captivating aroma.
The color of the wine becomes deeper and richer, as clear and translucent as a gemstone; the taste also becomes mellow and delicate, with a long finish that is intoxicating and irresistible.
Perhaps the wines in the cellar were of average quality in the past, but now they have become the finest wines from the Northlands.
Moreover, it contains a portion of the Waaagh Power.
Long-term consumption also brings many benefits to the body that are difficult to articulate.
Ma Dexiang took away more than a dozen barrels of this wine, along with a batch of "Corruption Perfume" that Vasili had just concocted.
By the way, this Corruption Perfume has now been renamed "Ork Miracle".
On the one hand, it was to expand the territory's revenue sources, and on the other hand, it was to increase the influence of the Ork God.
Ma Dexiang's destination for the transaction was certainly not Bull Fief.
Although Bull Fief is the closest territory to Blackwater Fief, Bull Fief commerce is a complete mess.
Such a good product wouldn't fetch a high price in the Bull Fief.
He chose "Miracle City," the capital of Tulip Count, which was five days' journey from Blackwater Fief.
This is the largest and most prosperous city on the Imperium's route to the Northlands border.
When discussing the Tulip Count, one cannot ignore his business acumen.
The Tulip Count's family had fallen into decline, and the once vast Earl had been reduced to just Miracle City and a small piece of land around it.
However, Tulip Count saw the opportunity presented by Her Majesty the Queen's expansion into the Northlands and worked hard to develop a business model, making Miracle City the most prosperous commercial city on the way to the Northlands.
Many pioneering lords come here to sell their spoils, and many merchants also come to buy these treasures.
Slaves, food, weapons, armor, and even the God's Chosen.
If you have money, there's almost nothing you can't buy here.
The original name of Miracle City was Tulip City.
However, because of Tulip Count's legendary experiences, it was renamed Miracle City by the people.
Once this batch of goods is sold, it will not only bring Blackwater Fief a huge amount of gold coins, but also enhance Blackwater Fief's reputation.
"It seems necessary to collect more wines..."
Wine corrupted by the Corruption Mists decay is waste to others.
But it was different for him.
Such wines only need to be stored in the territory for some time.
Once the Corruption Divine Power in the wine is completely removed, it will become a first-class wine.
In the Northlands, this type of spoiled wine is commonplace.
"However, scarcity drives up prices... so we still need to control the sales volume appropriately."
In addition, Chen Changhe plans to develop some vineyards near the farm for grape cultivation.
Since we've made a living selling wine, we can't do without vineyards.
At the very least, a superficial project must be undertaken.
Otherwise, how do you explain where his endless supply of wine comes from?
Chen Changhe was certain that the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Imperium would fight tooth and nail for the wines he provided.
