Chapter XXVII
"Lord Duke, the arms business is also for the nobility. Angus reminded.
"Magic weapons, as well as crossbows or other prohibited weapons. Luo Heng thought about it for a while, carefully considered it and said.
Angus shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Even if the magic weapon user is not a nobleman, he has some involvement with the noble. ”
"Then I can give the weapon first, and then sign a magic contract, and the user will give a certain amount of gold coins every year, and settle it in three or five years, what do you say?" Luo Heng asked.
“......。 Angus's eyes widened, and this method, Angus wanted to say that in case it was used as loot by others, but if there was a magic contract, even if the user died, the guy who got the loot would not dare to hide it.
"Well, it's working with the Wizards' Guild. "Luo Heng is thinking about hugging big ~ legs, fortunately in this world, big ~ thick legs, although the magician union has a lot of involvement with nobles, but magicians are not all nobles, after all, magicians are still a profession that needs to look at talent.
"This grown-up can ask Lord Jon. Angus also felt that something was wrong.
When Jon heard Luo Heng's decision, he shook his head and said: "Selling contraband, the Magicians' Guild will definitely not participate, and even the Thieves' Guild and the Black Market still have close ties with the nobles, and of course, the Magicians' Guild, because the biggest sponsors of the Magic Academy are those nobles, and ordinary people don't have much gold." Jon spoke.
When Luo Heng heard this, he felt that the trouble was bigger than he thought, and Jon and Angus couldn't think of what Luo Heng's territory was doing, at most it was just a ranch and a farm, and the rest wanted to do business, and the gold coins were in the hands of the nobles.
"Or weapons. Luo Heng thought about it carefully, his specialty is still in weapons, although he also knows some in chemistry, but he can't compare to weapons.
"And what kind of weapon are you going to take?" Jon asked, hearing this.
"Magic weapons, as well as some bows and crossbows, as large as war crossbows, the size of a small palm*, and all kinds of weapons can be customized. Luo Heng said.
Luo Heng decided to take the niche route, and when Jon heard this, he asked curiously, "Can you forge a war crossbow?"
"No problem. Luo Heng nodded and said.
Arms, no matter in that world, are huge profits, and some things are not expected to be made in large quantities, so that on the one hand, they remain profitable, and on the other hand, they are kept secret.
There is a small magic furnace, Luo Heng feels that there is nothing that cannot be done, and as for smokeless cotton such as nitrocellulose*, it is not very difficult.
"This kind of weapon is profitable, but if you do this, other countries may target you. Jon spoke.
"I'm already being targeted. Luo Heng said silently.
When Jon heard this, he felt a delusion that trouble was coming for the noble presbyterian council.
However, Jon didn't plan to say anything, because this was a matter of Luo Heng's own territory, and Jon also knew about the trouble in Luo Heng's territory.
Angus opened his mouth and said: "My lord, if I can really have a crossbow the size of a palm, I want to buy a lot of people, at least many big people will buy one." ”
"Hmm. Luo Heng nodded.
Crossbows are not like archers who require long-term training, the training time is short, and the power is great, and crossbows are prohibited weapons in this world, that is, except for the country, no one else is allowed to possess them.
"But Lord Duke, I think we should build a farm and reclaim the land on a sunny day. "Angus is now thinking about Luo Heng.
Luo Heng nodded, there were hundreds of people anyway.
The farm was chosen on both sides of the river, Luo Heng decided to dig a canal from the upstream and establish a farm downstream, although it is not a good time to establish a farm now, but there is no other way.
However, seeing the cultivated land in this world, Luo Heng shook his head and designed a zigzag plow.
The biggest advantage of the curved plough is that it saves storage power, a cow can pull it, and it can be deep ploughing and shallow ploughing.
The farm was two kilometers long and five kilometers wide, and the carpenter took the giants and some orcs and slaves to make a wall, which was three meters high, all made of logs, so he began to cut wood again, but this time the wood did not need to be so big.
The ten-square-kilometer farm is divided into two by a road, and there is also a five-meter-wide road in the farm, and the road is also paved with stones, anyway, the stones in the wasteland are turned out, on the one hand, it is to rely on the road to make drainage ditches, and the other is to facilitate the livestock to come, and the third is to prevent fires, once the large ~ wheat field is on fire, the world will not be able to rescue at all.
In addition, there are many buildings in this farm, and there are also many cisterns, drainage ditches, irrigation ditches, and hundreds of people's labor scenes.
When the Quyuan plough made its debut, even Angus couldn't help but follow behind, turning the handle deeper and standing a little, turning the shallower, pressing the handle down, and shaking the handle back and forth, turning out a large piece of a large piece, two people, a cow, a day is close to ten acres of land, of course, this is in the case of unskill.
In addition, there are many grassroots in the wasteland, but fortunately, the metal plough is used, and even a few carpenters are full of surprise, and finally the human maid can turn the ground.
The grass in the wilderness was cut one by one, and then a fire was lit, and the entire area was burned, and then a few cows began to turn over the ground, and Luo Heng was also busy.
After seven or eight days of turning up the wasteland, the soil that has been turned up has been dried and loosened, and then turned again, this time after turning over, the rake plow is used to plow the rake plow, the rake plow is a four rectangle, there are thick iron nails on the four sides, people stand on the rake plow, and then the livestock pull, like a comb to turn over and over in the ground, the grass roots are brought out by the rake plow, and then turn over again, rake the plow again, the grass roots are dried and burned directly in the ground.
"The Duke is not simple. "Look at the big ~The land was cut in front and the plot was burned, and the slaves in the back cleared the stones, and the stones were piled together, and then the first time the ground was turned over, and the stones in the ground were cleared out for the first time, and after the first time they were turned over, they didn't care, but the giants and the stonemasons began to enter the field, and with large rollers, like road rollers, they pressed down the stones piled up into a ridge, and the stonemasons assisted beside them, and then the drainage canals, and the irrigation canals, and then the second wave of ploughing, and then the rake and plough, and then the rake and plough.
At first, I couldn't see how much efficiency there was, but after half a month, when the number of flattened areas increased day by day, the effect was shown.
Eventually, when the first big spring rain came, it was already a month and a half later, and the final plot was six kilometers long and five kilometers wide, which was of course an approximate area. 、
Among them, the low-lying area is homeopathic to build a place to store water, and the high hills are built up a warehouse, and then connected with each other's roads, five kilometers wide is divided into more than a dozen roads, some are large and some are small, are divided into pieces of pieces, and it is not so regular, according to local conditions, this is the result of more than 500 people for more than a month.
"Alas!" Jon looked at Luo Heng, where is there a bit of a nobleman's appearance, but as far as the invention of the Quyuan plow, Jon knows that it can bring Luo Heng at least a huge amount of wealth every year, and the cost of a copper coin for ten acres of land is definitely not high, but how much land is there in the entire continent, and Jon hesitated to tell Luo Heng that he can not allow some people to use the Quyuan plow?
