The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (222)

Development (2)

“Here.”

“This is Mount Tuang. If you go over this mountain, you will find Baron Pierce’s house.”

“Is that so?”

Bonin couldn’t hide his embarrassment. The popularity of the hair loss product presented at the Roche Festival was beyond imagination. It was the only solution to the problem of hair loss that no alchemist or apothecary had been able to overcome.

For the nobles, appearance is related to their reputation. That is why many nobles, regardless of gender or age, were inevitably interested in the amount of hair they had.

Meanwhile, a thousand years ago, Benio discovered the secret recipe for the forgotten hero Yakseong’s secret history, and this led to the creation of Balmosu.

A herbal medicine that contains the secrets of a hero named Yakseong from a thousand years ago.

And the fact that it had neatly solved the problem of hair loss that no one had been able to conquer through the undeniably visible results of Count Reguilon and Marchioness Meyer was bound to generate explosive interest.

“too….”

“Do you think security is lax, Uncle?”

Bonin nodded. I thought that since it was a manufacturing facility for hair growth, it would be in a secret place with tight security and a system in place to keep it secret.

But Benio took Bonin to the mountains where the scent of the bushes was fragrant.

“Seeing isn’t everything.”

“I believe His Highness the Grand Duke has also thought deeply about it.”

Benio smiled faintly. He said that to please himself, but Bonin’s expression was not good. At that moment, the person who came out to greet Benio bowed.

“Hello, Your Highness.”

“Is it Auksil?”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Benio glanced at Diato. He knew that Diato took care of the bandit named Auksil like a younger brother. That was why he brought Diato in as his escort knight and entrusted this mountain vegetable to Auksil.

Diato trusted Auksil and entrusted him with the task of guarding the manufacturing facility of Balmosu.

Auksil guarded this place thoroughly without letting down his guard as Benio had expected, so as not to smear Diato’s face.

Moreover, since Mount Tuan was like the home of Auksil, who was from the Red King’s mountain village, he was able to know the geography of Mount Tuan with his eyes closed.

“This place.”

“Originally it was a wild vegetable.”

“Wild vegetables?”

“yes.”

Bonin’s eyes widened in surprise. Originally it was a mountain village, but now it has become a manufacturing facility for hair growth. It was originally a mountain village built to be a guard’s quarters or to protect against external attacks, so it was slightly remodeled into a manufacturing facility.

“Come this way, uncle.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Bonin followed closely behind Benio. However, it was a shabby mountain hut no different from any other place. If Benio hadn’t brought him here, Bonin wouldn’t have believed it even if he saw it with his own eyes, since hair growth water was being produced in a place like this.

“The hair growth water needs to be matured. That’s why we mature the finished hair growth water here.”

“It requires a fairly delicate process.”

Bam.

Benio opened the door of a recently built teahouse, and a sweet, grassy smell wafted in. Inside, there were five oak barrels the size of a man’s torso.

“We plan to commercialize what is made here over there.”

The warehouse was connected to another warehouse. Inside the warehouse, which was smaller than this warehouse, there were already small bottles of hair growth water lined up in a row.

“That’s quite a lot.”

There were about ten bottles of the original solution of hair growth before dilution. The size of the bottle is the same as the bottle containing the potion. If you pour that original solution, even those without hair roots will have a thick head of hair in a day or even a week.

This has already been confirmed through Count Reguilon and Lady Kendall.

“We will unload the supplies that were brought in through the upper part of Mount Tuang. But how are you going to secure the manpower? Security seems to be quite important.”

Benio had a thoroughgoing strategy of upgrading the balm water and selling it to the nobility as a premium product at a high price.

In any case, the nobles would come with a thousand gold coins if they had hair, but even so, a pretty cake tastes good too. Of course, that was the advice given to Benio by Master Bollito.

“If you say manpower.”

“Don’t you need human hands for both manufacturing and packaging?”

“ah.”

Benio smiled brightly.

“We decided to get help from Baron Pierce for the manpower needed to commercialize it. I have some acquaintance with the lady there.”

“What about manufacturing?”

Bonin was interested in the recipe for balmosu. No, not only that. Most nobles would probably be curious about the recipe.

But manufacturing doesn’t require any human intervention.

“I can manufacture it all by myself.”

“Your Majesty, the Grand Duke?”

“yes.”

Benio smiled brightly.

“The vision of the medicine is focused on producing large quantities of medicine by one person. Think back to the situation a thousand years ago and you’ll understand.”

The fact that it has a history of a thousand years is a very good excuse. However, the original way to make balmosu was to boil two herbs that were considered weeds here in large quantities and mix them.

It is so simple that it doesn’t require many processes in the first place. Benio alone can easily produce one oak barrel of wine a day as long as he has enough ingredients.

I plan to dilute it, grade it, and sell it, so if you think about it, there is no better business item than this, where the most important recipe can be kept a complete secret, and the material cost is almost nothing.

“I have prepared all the materials, so you will be able to secure the quantity at the time you want, Uncle.”

Krinis and Donar.

All you need to make a balmosu is these two herbs. Of course, the exchange rate isn’t that good. However, since they are treated as weeds, there is no difficulty in obtaining them or growing them.

In fact, on the way up Mount Tuan, Krinis and Donar were already visible everywhere. This was because they had brought seeds and scattered them everywhere.

“I look forward to it.”

“Yes, Uncle.”

Bonin left Pinguis Village three days later, and Benio, as promised, gave Bonin exactly the amount he needed.

However, when it became known that Bonin, the head of Kepler’s upper house, had come to Pinguis Village, paradoxically, more noble attendants gathered. They stayed in Pinguis Village in order to somehow meet Benio at least once.

Meanwhile, Ginger opened an inn where the attendants of such noble families could stay. He procured materials through Bello, a merchant of the small merchant group who was his close friend, and Obi-Wan, and procured a large number of laborers from Baron Pierce’s territory.

The inn was crowded with people.

In the first place, there was no way that a small village with only 500 people would have proper lodging facilities. That’s why the inn that Ginger opened had many shortcomings, but people flocked to it because it was the only inn there.

And through that inn, Ginger collected the information he needed.

Since they were all driven out by the noblemen who treated them like their masters, even if only two people gathered together, information would flow out like water.

They may be trivial details of one’s private life, but when they come together and form pieces, unexpected information can emerge.

Meanwhile, upon Benio’s return, the project he was pushing forward began to gain momentum. In particular, Benio was constantly recruiting laborers. In order to quickly complete the project to expand Pinguis Village, he brought in a large number of laborers through the Baron Pierce Estate.

As the village of Pinguis grew rapidly and created jobs, the number of laborers coming from the neighboring fiefdom, Barony of Pierce, increased by the day.

Benio adjusted the wages of the laborers to one and a half to two times the normal level, and set up a branch of the upper Kepler in the village of Pinguis when Bonin came a few days ago.

The merchants also try to catch the eye of Bonin, the head of Kepler’s family, and Benio, the grand duke of the Kepler family. It is legendary among merchants all over the world that the Kepler family was founded on commerce.

That’s why, of all the noble families, the Kepler family favored merchants the most. And since there was nothing better than making friends with Benio, who had the highest chance of becoming the next Duke, merchants began to set up stalls or rent buildings to open shops around the upper part of Kepler.

Then the laborers started spending money there.

Neither the residents of One Pinguis Village nor the laborers from the distant Baron Pierce Territory could pass by the shop. It was probably because it was a remote place far from the center, so they could not take their eyes off the stalls of the merchants who brought only high-quality goods to catch Benio’s eye.

The prices there weren’t expensive either. Since the village chief of Pinguis Village was Benio, the merchants calculated that Benio would be happy if they sold the goods cheaply to the villagers without adding a margin.

The townspeople and laborers spent money on merchants.

But the merchants also needed a place to stay and eat, so the money naturally returned to the residents.

“The leather is of good quality. Sell it to me.”

“Do you have any ingredients left?”

“Oh, it’s delicious. How about opening a store?”

The merchants continued to stimulate the residents who had been farming their entire lives by making new suggestions. It is not the case that the residents of Pinguis Village only like farming.

Because that was the only thing they could do in Pinguis Village.

But things changed when Benio came, and then people in other places also slowly began to open their eyes.

“What kind of guy is this!”

“How dare you make a fuss in Pinguis Village!”

“Take him to the village chief!”

Even if someone from outside caused trouble, there was no need to worry. The Omega Unit, which had undergone rigorous training under Amblan, was seething with venom and spite.

At the same time, the two knights and the village chief who handle Aura are the center of attention, even rumored to be high-level experts.

As long as such a strong man stood firm, the soldiers had nothing to fear. That’s why, before the conflict escalated, the soldiers would always be dispatched and quietly arrest the people, and public security improved noticeably.

It didn’t end there.

“It’s the Sun Church!”

“A temple in the Sun Church?”

It was known that the Sun Cult was building a temple in the village of Pinguis. And when it became known that Armada, Benio’s teacher and one of the Ten Holy Guardians, was in charge of the temple, people from all over the area began to gather.

People, both noble and commoner, began to flock to see the Armada at least once thanks to the fame of the Sun Cult.

As more people came to Pinguis Village, and some nobles who saw the Kepler Upper Branch and Kepler Battlefield Branch there and the rapid development began to invest in Pinguis Village, seeing its future value, the name Pinguis Village quickly spread throughout the northern part of the empire.

Around that time, when the upper part of Kepler began to produce water, the name of Benio and the village of Pinguis became even more famous.

Then people started to flock in.

As word spread of the investments made by a few high-ranking nobles and wealthy merchants with a keen eye for the future, people of humble origins but with the ability to find a new life there began to flock there.

They were diverse.

Architects, artists, administrators, knights, mercenaries, etc.

Also, as the number of refugees or free people who were living in hiding increased and wanted to move to Benio’s village, applications for immigration began to pour in.

4 months.

A year after the Roche Festival ended, in the spring when new life was born after the harsh winter, Pinguis took down the sign for the village.

As the population grew to 15,000, the Kepler family granted it the status of a city rather than a village.

The city of Pinguis.

“Our Pinguis will not end in the city but will continue to develop.”

And at his first inauguration as mayor, Benio revealed his ambitions. The 18-year-old Benio told those in attendance:

“For the infinite development of the city of Pingis, we would like to present new products discovered from the visionary recipe of Yakseong here.”

The balmosu was selling out as soon as it was made. Benio decided to present the new medicine at the inauguration ceremony. The Empire was paying attention, so he couldn’t miss this great opportunity for publicity.

“Introducing the Nobles of the Night and the Ladies of Flowers!”
