Chapter VI Exchange
The dwarf king and the dwarf king looked at Luo Heng, and Luo Heng said, "I need five thousand dwarf craftsmen, and the sea needs five thousand dwarf craftsmen, of course I will pay the corresponding remuneration." ”
"What are you going to do?" asked Quison when he heard this.
"I'm on the side of the orc kingdom, and I've found a huge mine, and there's a lot of sea, and I need to build a port, and I need to build a mine. Luo Heng said.
"How big is the mine?" the Dwarven King asked.
Quison is not interested, on the one hand, the mine itself is a hard-earned money, and on the other hand, it is still in the Orc Empire, which is not what he wants.
"It's big, it's big, if it's two reasons, every year I'll sell these seeds at the lowest price. Luo Heng said.
"Every year?" Quison keenly grasped the two words.
"Yes, my seed is crossbred, there are more than 60 varieties on my side, this is a cross between two varieties, according to my calculations, I can only keep the seed for one year, that is, I can continue to plant in the second year, then the yield will be reduced in the third year, and it may be lower in the fourth year. Luo Heng said.
"It's ....... Not only was Quayson stunned, but even the dwarf king and the dwarf king were stunned.
"Is this good?" asked the dwarf king.
"It doesn't matter, if someone buys it, if someone buys it, if someone buys it, it doesn't sell, anyway, what I pay you is gold coins. Luo Heng shrugged and said.
Quison opened his mouth and said, "Then Cheney, you didn't think of ...... like this. ”
"No, this is my exclusive secret, in fact, it is also very simple, that is, after the two kinds of wheat are crossed, the next generation of seeds produced has the advantages of two kinds of wheat, and of course it can also be the disadvantages. Luo Heng said.
"What's wrong with wheat?" asked Quison again.
"That's more, yield, disease resistance, drought resistance, lodging resistance, waterlogging, early ripening, late ripening, and so on. Luo Heng said.
Quison was embarrassed to speak, so many characteristics are really not something that ordinary people can make.
"And how much is a pound of grain seeds?" asked the Dwarf King.
"The price of seeds is about ten times that of finished grain, and we are responsible for the technology, if the yield per mu does not reach 300 catties, the seeds will be given away for free. Luo Heng said.
"Okay, I'll go back and organize the manpower, how long will Duke Cheney need it?" asked the dwarf king.
"Next year, there's not enough time this year. Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, I did one thing this year, after the spring festival, I was here to guide the planting of food, and the other was to kill a circle of fishmen, Luo Heng decided not to lead the team in person in the future, the orc empire is too big.
The dwarf king nodded, and then said, "Then let's sign the contract first." ”
"Absolutely. Luo Heng replied with a smile.
Luo Heng signed an employment contract with the dwarves and dwarves, of which the dwarf king finally decided on 4,000 people and the dwarf king's side of 5,000 people.
The wages are determined according to the rank of the craftsman, which is an approximate figure.
Kuisen came excitedly, very depressed, thinking of such a huge market for seeds, Kuisen is not a fool, naturally knows how many people want good seeds, what is this, this is influence.
"Cheney, you really don't think about the friendship of our Wizards' Guild?" asked Quison.
"Not considered. Luo Heng shook his head and said.
You can't put everything in one basket, and the name of the Wizards' Guild is big, but there are still disadvantages.
It can be seen from the Pump Association that the nobles in some places are not allowed to cultivate the pump, and the Pump Association can only watch dryly, of course, the Magician Guild can sanction it, but those small nobles will never deal with the Magician Guild for the rest of their lives, you sanction an egg.
Kuisen shook his head, there is no way, Luo Heng has only grown up in a few years, and he has grown to the point where he can say no to himself, the elder of the Magician Guild and the president of the Alchemy Association.
The dwarf king and the dwarf king left, thousands of craftsmen, and the annual income was very high.
The average of a dwarven craftsman is about five gold coins, so five thousand craftsmen are twenty-five thousand, and a year is hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
The dwarf king still values the seeds provided by Luo Heng, although the food is not enough for the entire dwarf to stop buying food, but it is enough to be able to buy less.
And the dwarf king heard that Luo Heng would send someone to guide, so he would be so generous, because last year the human race bought too much refined iron, and the entire dwarf clan became rich all of a sudden, but the dwarf king saw a hidden danger in this, that is, the needs of human beings will definitely be satisfied, Once the needs of human beings are met, then what will the dwarf kingdom become?
Will it fall again?
Dwarves can't plant, but they can't learn.
"In addition, I also found a drought-tolerant plant, which can be used to make wine, and the large ~ mountainous area on the dwarf side is very suitable for planting. Luo Heng spoke again.
Speaking of plants, the dwarf king is also helpless, the mountains on the other side of the dwarf kingdom are bare, and there are cracks on the mountains or something, that is the consequence of mining.
And the water is also muddy, because mining, mineral processing, including smelting, all need water, and iron also needs water to cool.
Luo Heng will do the same here, but this is a must in the development, the river in Britain poisoned people, the river in the United States did not have any life, and Asian carp had to be introduced, and a smog in London took thousands of lives.
Moreover, Luo Heng is close to the sea, and with the top-level smelting technology, Luo Heng will not spread out.
When the price of refined iron is not much more expensive than grain, then it is time for Luo Heng to monopolize it.
Now a pound of refined iron can be exchanged for a lot of grain.
Signing a magic contract, the dwarf king and the dwarf king and Quisen, Luo Heng held a small drinking party.
"Cheney, what do you think of the development of our dwarven kingdom?" the dwarven king asked.
The dwarven king is actually very jealous, Luo Heng's development is very potential, and his income is more than that of the dwarf kingdom.
"There is nothing wrong with the development, but there are some problems with the direction, in fact, we dwarves have no need to dig our own mines at all. Luo Heng said.
"What do you mean?" asked the Dwarven King.
Luo Heng opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you, once the mine over there is mined, then the price of a catty of refined iron is about three or five times that of a catty of grain, this is black iron, and white iron is only seven or eight times, so the mine will not be able to operate in the future, that's for sure." ”
"Impossible, how can it be so cheap?" said the Dwarven King, shaking his head.
"We dwarves don't actually need to strike iron, now this development is quite good, the Pump Association, the Steam Association, the Textile Association, how many blacksmiths are needed, it is completely possible to trade with magicians, as well as other nobles from all over the world, build new workshops, and specialize in making all kinds of tools. Luo Heng said.
"Aren't you afraid that humans will learn our secret recipe?" the Dwarven King began.
Luo Heng felt a headache, striking iron is not just about knowing the process.
Why dwarves can be proficient in iron-making, on the one hand, they have talent, on the other hand, dwarves will be hungry if they don't make iron, and even if human blacksmiths know the process, they only have very few that can be made, and this cost is not necessarily as low as that of dwarves.
"Cooperate with the local nobles, then give the nobles money, and the nobles will allow other blacksmiths in their territory to snatch their gold coins?" Luo Heng could only say to the Dwarf King from another aspect.
When the dwarf king heard this, he nodded, the dwarven forging association only exists in big cities, and it is because the nobles are in the way, and of course the human blacksmith guild relies on the nobles to survive.
"I'll go back and think about it. When the dwarf king saw the dwarf king watching from the side, he stood up and spoke.
The dwarf king chatted with Xue Li, but his mind was on Luo Heng's side, and after seeing the dwarf king leave, he immediately left Xue Li and stepped forward.
Luo Heng also greeted him, and the dwarf king opened his mouth and asked, "Cheney, how about our dwarf over there in the mine?"
"Huh?" Luo Heng was very surprised, this dwarf king had a keen mind.
"It's okay to buy shares, use 10,000 dwarf craftsmen to buy shares, and they will belong to the mine in the future, and I will also choose 50,000 orcs, a giant tribe, and a sea tribe of fishmen, as well as a part of the priests, all belong to this mine. Luo Heng thought about it for a while, and did not refuse, dwarfs still have strengths in precision machinery.
When the dwarf king heard Luo Heng's configuration, he said, "Do you want to bring your family?"
"So, I'll take you to see it first, and then you decide whether to bring it or not. Luo Heng said.
"Okay!" The dwarf king had an element of gambling just now, Luo Heng calculated something, and almost never failed, and Luo Heng said the configuration this time, and the dwarf king knew that it was safe.
After the dwarf king left, Kuisen touched it again, looked at Luo Heng and said, "I heard it!"
"If you hear it, you hear it. Luo Heng shrugged indifferently.
"Is the price of white iron really that low?" asked Quison in disbelief.
"A large vein of three hundred and twenty kilometers long, more than one hundred and seventy kilometers wide, and more than four thousand meters high, you said, and there are probably thousands of tons of gold, and 20,000 tons of silver. Luo Heng said lightly.
Burst!
Kuisen just took a sip of water and squirted out, the others at the drinking party were stunned, and Luo Heng was sprayed with saliva all over his body.
"In the future, if the mine is sold, within five years, the entire human race will never have a mine again, and they will buy metal tools from my side. Luo Heng stood up and spoke.
"What about weapons?" asked Quison quickly.
"Hehe, the price is one-tenth of what it is now. Luo Heng replied without looking back.
When Quison heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to buy a stake too?"
"It's impossible, but on the human side, I'll set aside an agency point, for example, in a certain country, I'm just cooperating with a merchant, and all the goods are given to this merchant. Luo Heng said with a smile.
"You're ruthless!" Quison certainly knows the benefits of this, that is, those who come forward are local, and who is making money?
This dwarf in front of you, this treacherous dwarf.
