Chapter 134 Tulips are Equivalent to Gold Coins (Please subscribe!)

In the seventeen years since he was born, Wally Harlin has seen countless far-fetched reasons for declaring war, heard of many filthy aristocratic scandals, and witnessed many sensational demands and clauses, but even so... Bruno's request still stunned him.

He had never heard anything more ridiculous than this!

When ten thousand acres of tulips are planted, it will help me obtain the title of Viscount...

Wally Harlin looked seriously at the Earl in front of him, trying hard to find some joking expression on Bruno's face.

Before Bruno made his request, Wally Harlin had thought of many possibilities, such as... asking for a large sum of money after helping him become a viscount, allowing Idar's warships and merchant ships to dock at the port...

Or maybe you make yourself do something shameful so that you can leave a handle behind...

However, when the condition of "planting 10,000 acres of tulips" came out of the earl's mouth, Wally Harlin suddenly felt a little confused...

Who am I? Where am I?

What am I doing? Wally Harlin's mind was working rapidly, and he tried every possible way to connect the two things of planting tulips with helping him get the title, but... nothing was found.

Because there is no connection between the two events at all, these are two completely independent events! Wally Harlin had heard of tulips, a type of flower that grew in the Norman Empire.

Although tulips are grown in small areas and in small quantities, they have always been an ornamental plant that is popular among the nobility.

The flowers are vigorous and upright, the leaves are simple and beautiful, dignified and moving, and the fragrance is elegant.

Almost every noble lord in the Norman Empire has a few tulips decorating his garden.

However...although the consumers of tulips are mostly aristocrats, this does not mean that the price of tulips is very high.

This is because tulips are different from sugar and coral bracelets. They can neither satisfy the nobles' appetites nor bring out the elegant and luxurious temperament of noble ladies. Most nobles just don't want to see their gardens empty, so they just casually stuff a few tulips in there.

Besides, there are many flowers that are more gorgeous and precious than tulips, so... although tulips are scarce, few people grow them specifically.

But, the earl in front of him actually asked to plant 10,000 acres of tulips himself? Since when... did growing flowers become synonymous with the title of nobility?

Before Wally Haring could say anything, Bruno put his arm around Haring's shoulders and enthusiastically helped him arrange the arrangement: "Tulips are a great thing! Think about it, why do I plant tulips instead of other flowers?"

"Yes! Why?" asked Wally Harlin.

Bruno pointed to the flowerbed by the window, where several tulips were in full bloom, and said, "Come, come, let me tell you... Tulips actually come in more than just the few colors we see today. Look... Aren't most of the tulips you can see on the market the common colors of red and yellow?"

"yes!"

"But do you know the language of tulips?"

"Flower language?" Wally Harlin was stunned.

Although the nobles of this era had begun to think about decorating gardens and planting exotic flowers and plants, things like the language of flowers had not yet been worked out.

"Look! This is the difference of tulips! No matter how beautiful and colorful other flowers are, those gorgeous flowers are essentially empty and soulless! A flower without flower language is like a body without a soul, empty and boring!"

"But... tulips are different. For example, the red tulips we planted here, their flower language is a confession of love!"

"A confession of love?"

Although I still don't understand what this Earl is doing, but...

Confession of love...

This so-called flower language sounds very cool!

"These are just red tulips. If one day you can grow black tulips, it will be very different!"

"Do tulips come in black?"

"Of course. This black tulip is also called the 'Queen of the Night'. Its petals are purple with a hint of red. Once night falls, the petals will even sparkle! But the most important thing is... do you know what the language of the black tulip is?" Bruno gradually lowered his voice.

"What is it?" Wally Harlin's curiosity was also aroused at this moment.

"Mystery, nobility and... supreme power!" Bruno whispered.

Harlin's eyes widened when he heard Bruno's words.

"So... think about it. Once you are able to cultivate black tulips, you can wait until the birthday of the King of Basel and present them to His Majesty the King of Basel... You know, black tulips are unique!"

Suddenly, Wally Harlin seemed to realize something. The Earl in front of him... was teaching him how to please the King and gain his trust...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Other people give money, corals, gems...but these can be summed up in one word: vulgar!

Moreover, it is so vulgar! If I were to give her a unique black tulip, one of a kind in the world...

For a moment, tears sparkled in Wally Harlin's eyes, and he looked at the Earl of Idar with gratitude...

This is simply... a grace of rebirth!

Meanwhile, Wally Harlin said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your advice, Lord Earl! I am willing to plant flowers for Idar! Ten thousand acres is not enough, I want to plant twenty thousand acres!"

Bruno seemed stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said, "I have already informed Shabi, you can go to him to ask for help..."

"Thank you, Count!" Wally Harlin bowed excitedly to Bruno, then trotted out.

Bruno sat in his chair, thought for a moment, and muttered to himself: "I haven't finished what I said yet, and besides... when did I give him any advice?"

Therefore, Bruno had to reorganize what he wanted to say: "Present the black tulip to His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Basel, and then... the nobles attending the banquet will see their king laughing heartily because of a tulip. By then, the tulips in Idal will be in short supply, the price will soar, and you will make a lot of money. Money makes the world go round, with a lot of gold coins, Idal people will be interested in helping you get the title..."
