"Cheney greets His Majesty. On a formal occasion, Luo Heng bowed down to the dwarf king.

"Cheney, come, let me introduce you, this is the great master of the forging of our dwarven kingdom, Haradin. Grand Master Haradin, this is Cheney, the technology he invented for smelting white iron. The Dwarven King spoke.

Haradin is stronger, five feet tall, with a waist circumference of eight feet, and his arms are thicker than Luo Heng's big ~ legs, which looks like a big stump with a diameter of three meters and a height of about one meter and eight meters.

"Cheney, very good, very good, young people have a lot of ideas, your technique of heating the wind with a blower and blowing it upside down is the most innovative technology among our dwarves for thousands of years. Haradin looked at Luo Heng and said appreciatively.

Satin's mouth cracked open with laughter on one side, it was the praise of the Grand Master, and Cheney was his own student.

Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, "Thank you Grand Master for your appreciation. ”

"Cheney, how do you think you should deal with the human chamber of commerce this time, those guys are very treacherous. The Dwarven King asked directly.

When Luo Heng heard this, he didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Your Majesty, I think we can divide the area, and then we will give an agent for each area, and whoever gives the highest price will give it to whomever it wants." ”

"This is a bit bad, just like the Bright Empire, only the Exclusive Beast Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful, and every other empire, without a kingdom, has a big Chamber of Commerce. Satin explained.

When Luo Heng heard this, he realized that his idea would not work in this world, first of all, the country where the Holy See is located, and the chambers of commerce of the rest of the countries cannot occupy an absolute advantage.

When Luo Heng heard this, he thought for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, I want to ask, is this mirror to make money, or to improve the living standards of our dwarves?"

"Does this make any difference?" the Dwarven King asked.

Luo Heng opened his mouth and said: "If we want to make money, we will sell at a high price, let the mirror become a luxury for the nobles, and if we want to improve the living standard of our dwarves, we will sell it at a low price." ”

"Isn't the low price a small profit, why does it improve the life of our dwarves?" asked Satin as he spoke.

"Teacher, it's very simple, the output, just like a mirror with ten gold coins, then there must be very few people who buy it, unless it is a nobleman, but we have a mirror priced at fifty copper coins, then I think the women of the entire continent can get a mirror.

If it is a luxury, maybe we sell 10,000 mirrors a year, that's 100,000 gold coins, and these 10,000 mirrors require thirty dwarves to work and consume the same amount of raw materials.

And according to fifty copper coins, then maybe two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand mirrors a year, maybe more, then three hundred, or five hundred dwarves to work, this is one thing.

The other is the material, how many materials do you need for 300,000 mirrors, and how many dwarven miners can live with the materials you need for mirrors?" Luo Heng said.

After listening to this, Sardin felt that Luo Heng's brand-new thought was very novel, and the great master Haradin was also surprised.

Obviously, Luo Heng's theory was something that these people had not thought of.

"I think it should be sold at a fair price, the material of the mirror is just quartz stone, and quartz stone is basically waste in our place. Haradin spoke.

Satin also nodded: "The mirror can also be made into several grades, and the high and low have earned money." ”

"That's it, but we should still hand it over to the Human Chamber of Commerce on the human side, otherwise those treacherous lords will charge high taxes. The Dwarven King spoke.

Indeed, the idea of local protection in this world is too strong, and each lord can privately make laws on the taxes of his own territory, and for some competitors, he can't even pay the tolls, and he will directly make you disappear.

Luo Heng opened his mouth and said: "Then we will set a price, and then sell it here, whoever wants to buy it." ”

"There's only one way. The Dwarven King nodded, there was only one way to do it now.

The sale of mirrors, Luo Heng felt that he was not as optimistic as he thought, there are many poor people in this world, and dozens of copper coins are undoubtedly a huge amount of money for those who break a copper coin.

It is enough for the family to eat black bread for more than half a month, Luo Heng originally thought that black bread was the worst food, but he didn't expect that there was even worse, that is, it was cooked directly with wheat and wild vegetables, because wheat flour needs to be paid.

Similarly, Luo Heng would not think that the life of the dwarves at the bottom was very good, in fact, the price of ale wine was the lowest in the entire liquor.

It's similar to beer, but it tastes better than beer, and the wheat aroma is rich, don't the dwarves want to drink wine, don't you want to drink golden pine nut wine?

Definitely not.

That's why Luo Heng has this suggestion, for dwarves, mining is easier than growing crops, although mirrors are made into luxury goods, and a lot of gold coins can be obtained, but in whose hands are these gold coins, and the high-level of the dwarf kingdom will take out these gold coins to subsidize the poor?

Think beautifully!

Luo Heng already knows this world better, although this world has the means to balance the nobles, but for a single or a small number of civilians, it has no role at all, of course, the nobles generally do not bully the commoners, so they can only embarrass themselves.

Of course, it will not be said how good it is for the common people, and the taxes that should be paid will not be less at all, unless there is a large-scale natural and man-made disaster.

The same is true of the dwarf kingdom, Luo Heng has just entered the dwarf kingdom, and looking at the clothes of those dwarves, he knows that the gap between the rich and the poor is still very large.

When it was brought up in person, the Dwarven King could not refuse to sell mirrors as ordinary goods.

This will benefit a lot of low-level dwarves.

"Cheney, would you like to meet the humans who are interested in buying them?" asked the Dwarven King.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for this, I have recently been working on a new machine, which I also intend to give to the Forging Association for production. Luo Heng said.

Luo Heng didn't want to deal with those humans, and when the dwarf king heard Luo Heng say this, he immediately asked, "What kind of machine?"

"All-in-one flour grinder. Luo Heng said.

The principle of the grinding machine is very simple in Luo Heng's opinion, and it is much simpler than the Tan~Ke engine.

The idea of the internal combustion engine, Luo Heng does not plan to take it out, some people say that the internal combustion engine needs gasoline or something?

In fact, the earliest internal combustion engines could be burned with any fuel, not to mention that alcohol could always be brewed.

However, the technology tree has to come step by step, first using a steam engine, the biggest role of the steam engine is actually to build a factory, which means that the number of unemployed people increases.

Luo Heng didn't want to ignite this, as for building a railway in this world, it is estimated that it is also very troublesome, on the one hand, because of the territorial relationship here, even if there is a strong strength, others are not in the same camp, and you will just watch if you don't buy your face.

The grinding machine does not exist, and it is carried out by windmills and waterwheels.

In Luo Heng's opinion, the noodle grinding workshop was very simple and inefficient.

When Haradin heard this, his eyes lit up: "Cheney, you have to talk about this." ”

Luo Heng nodded and said, "Your Excellency Grand Master, I don't know if I have the honor to visit your laboratory?"

"No problem, let's go. "Whoever can achieve the level of a great master is definitely the one who loves this profession.

"I have carefully looked at the harvesters, seeders, and tools you made, and they are actually not complicated, but why didn't others think of them?"

Luo Heng saluted the dwarf king, and then followed closely by Haradin: "Your Excellency, I didn't have a way at that time, so much food, only a little manpower, I also thought about it for a long time." ”

"You're right, there is no demand, we blacksmiths, no one grows food at all, and we don't know the needs of the market, I think the forging association needs to change, what do you think, Cheney?" Haradin began.

Luo Heng admitted that Haradin said that the idea was on point, what was forged in the Dwarf Forging Association, what was sold, all weapons and equipment.

It's like farm tools, which ordinary peasants can't afford, so what about the aristocracy?

For the aristocracy, grain is actually hard currency, and the nobleman does not have a large amount of grain in his hands, and with food, the nobleman can deal with any risk.

"Yes, I used to be full of weapons or something, but it wasn't until I had a territory, saw a large ~ piece of wasteland, and watched the arrival of the planting season, I was anxious, so I designed tools for farming. Luo Heng said.

"Cheney, you know, it's the bearings in the farming tools that you designed, which account for 5% of our revenue this year, and next year's orders have doubled. Haradin spoke.

Luo Heng nodded, the most expensive thing in the harvester is the transmission shaft, which is the transmission shaft that converts animal power into power, and there are certain requirements for the hardness and toughness of the metal, and only dwarves can forge such metal.

In addition, a little fine iron is added to the front of the plough of the cultivated land, and the durability of the plough is several times higher than that of pig iron, but the cost cannot be doubled.

"Your Excellency, for plows, knives and the like, I have an idea, that is, on the edge of a big sword or a machete, we can make two kinds of metal, one has a lower wear resistance, and the other is higher, so when you use it, one side loses quickly, and the other side loses low. Luo Heng said.

When Haradin heard this, he stopped all of a sudden and looked at Luo Heng in surprise.

"Cheney, you're so smart, that way, weapon maintenance is much easier. Haradin didn't expect Luo Heng to actually think of such a method, is this method available?

Of course, every warrior will carry a whetstone, what is it for, of course, it is to maintain weapons, unless it is to use magic weapons, but as a forging grandmaster, how many times the number of ordinary weapons sold every year is that of magic weapons?

Countless times!

"Cheney, is your idea registered with the Wizards' Guild?" asked Haradin.
