Who is the lord of this place? He can actually bring together various races and make them live together peacefully, resolving their conflicts and differences?

Some clever-minded merchants, seeing the residents of the Ocean Crown looking at Ji Chen with respect and admiration, suddenly realized that he must be the lord here, and their eyes lit up.

They approached one by one, getting closer.

Are you the lord of Ocean Crown? I am the consul of the Shanlan Merchant Caravan

i am a merchant from the White Dew Princ.i.p.ality. Your Lords.h.i.+p, thank you for providing us with such a place to rest

Ji Chen looked at the enthusiastic approach of the merchants, with a gentle smile on his face.

Thank you for staying in the Ocean Crown. I hope you will have a wonderful time here.

Definitely, Your Lords.h.i.+p, your territory is very well developed. It is the best territory I have seen among many Lords of Glory.

Although the merchants felt that the fees here were slightly higher, they wisely did not mention it in front of the lord, so as not to provoke him. They all offered words of praise.

At this moment, a tall and thin merchant clasped his hands and said, Your Lords.h.i.+p, I wonder if your territory has any specialty products? I intend to make some purchases.

As soon as this was said, other merchants also said, Yes, your territory seems to have a large population, so the production must be very rich. If your specialty products arc good, then we dont need to detour to the Maple Princ.i.p.ality or Lienhardt and can purchase directly from you.

Ji Chen smiled faintly. Of course, we have weapons and equipment, ores, non-perishable food, precious wood, and more. It wont disappoint you.

If you want to make a purchase, you can go directly to the ports s.h.i.+pmasters Office.

When building the inn for hosting guests and dining, a specialized agency for s.h.i.+p docking, fees, and trade activities was also established. Dozens of trained residents were responsible for these affairs.

The merchants, seeing that there was business to be done, nodded in thanks.

Besides these, do you have any luxury items? a merchant who seemed to deal in luxury goods asked.

Of course, being located in the open sea, the Ocean Crown naturally produces various marine products, such as deep-sea pearls, blood jade corals, and more. Ji Chen paused. Recently, we have also brewed a specialty wine of the Ocean Crown. I wonder if you would be interested?

At these words, the merchants faces showed interest. As long as the wine is good, there is no need to worry about market demand, and the profit is also very high, making it one of their favorite commodities to buy and sell.

Please have someone take us to see it.

No need, I happen to have some free time. Ill take you there myself.

Ji Chen also became interested and personally led these merchants to the grape plantation located on the northeast slope.

Several months had pa.s.sed, and what used to be a barren hillside was now filled with grapevines. The grapevine plantation was well-planned, with clearly defined rows and all the necessary facilities. The grapevines wound their way up wooden frames, weaving a canopy of greenery on the top, adorned with cl.u.s.ters of crystal-dear, plump grapes.

Some young residents shuttled back and forth between the narrow pathways, taking care of the grapes that were soon to ripen.

In front of a house at the foot of the mountain, Leysha was talking to the elven druid Martino.

When Leysha saw Ji Chen approaching, her cute face with freckles instantly lit up with joy, and she greeted him happily.

My Lord, good day!

Ji Chen nodded with a smile.

Leyshas tone was somewhat excited as she continued,. I was discussing grape cultivation with Mr. Martino! Mr. Martino has profound insights into cultivation, hes a very capable person uh, elf!

Martino also approached and performed impeccable elven etiquette, smiling as he greeted, My Lord.

This legendary-tier druid seemed to always maintain a neat appearance and impeccable manners, no matter the circ.u.mstances.

Martino, what do you think of these grapes?

Martino replied, Grapes nurtured in different soils and climates vary, but obviously, the grapes here can be considered quite good. However, I can make some improvements in cultivation.

Curious, Ji Chen asked, How much can the quality and yield be increased after improvement?

Currently, the newly cultivated grape plantation could produce approximately ten thousand units of grapes per month, enough to brew three thousand barrels of wine.

Well, it can increase the quality by about 30% and triple the yield.

Leysha covered her mouth in astonishment, her eyes filled with surprise.

This was more than just a slight improvement; it was practically a change in grape variety!

Ji Chen smiled and said, Very well, whatever resources or manpower you need, just let me know.

Martino smiled and expressed his grat.i.tude, saying, Thankyou for your support, Lord.

The group of merchants following behind were staring at the scene in amazement, and they could see the astonishment in each others eyes. If they were not mistaken, this was an elven druid!

Elven druids were experts in planting and cultivating crops, renowned on the continent. Crops under their care invariably had exceptionally high quality, often reserved exclusively for the n.o.bility of various kingdoms and rarely making their way outside.

If such a druid were to cultivate these grapes, wouldnt it be

The merchants spirits lifted, and their eyes became filled with eagerness.

They had detected a business opportunity!
