Chapter Seventy-Two: Only Blacker, Not Blackest (The First Subscription Request)
"Wait, wait, the cost still needs to be calculated, everyone wait for two days, I will calculate a price." When Luo Heng heard this, he spoke.
"Can you give us a try?" asked one of the nobles.
"Yes, but this kind of thing, I think we should all work together to make a contract, that is, we are not allowed to use such weapons internally, after all, a farmer can be proficient in using it after training for a month, what do you think?" Luo Heng said.
"Duke Cheney said it well. ”
"That's a good offer. ”
"Well, it needs to be added that whoever uses it first can besiege him. ”
Luo Heng saw that the first person to respond was those old nobles, and he and Kuisen looked at each other, and Kuisen said, "It should be like this." ”
Just kidding, a clay leg can be used skillfully, and these nobles are going to die?
Under the witness of the Temple of the Pact, the Non-Proliferation Weapons Treaty signed the Wizards' Guild, many temples, and the Council of Nobles, Luo Heng.
The Contract Temple charged a large fee, and his mouth cracked open with laughter.
"Look, that's the quote. Luo Heng took out a list, which listed several types of armed merchant ships, as well as warships.
"So cheap, fivefold. Quison looked at the price and spoke.
"It's cheap, a small two-deck, with a load of two hundred tons, a total of twelve 12-pounder guns in the front and back, and a price of fifteen hundred gold coins.
Medium-sized armed transports were 4,500 gold coins, battleships were 9,000 gold coins, and armed merchant ships carried 500 tons.
The large armed merchant ship had a load of 1,200 tons, three decks, six 24-pounder guns, two 36-pounder guns, and 60 12-pounder guns for 15,000 gold coins.
Large battleships had six 36-pounder guns, twelve 24-pounder guns, and forty 12-pounder guns for 30,000 gold coins. Luo Heng said.
"You, what are you doing with the big ones, first get the small ones, the medium ones, the large ones they didn't see the real thing, and they won't buy them, and there are too many cannons, reduce them by half, this is fine iron, how many gold coins are a fine iron weapon, the price has increased fivefold, and this wooden board is so thick. Quison spoke.
"Okay, you can quote, this shipbuilding will set up a shipbuilding association, which will be authorized to other shipyards in the future, but it must be certified by our shipbuilding association, and those who are not certified will be arrested. Of course, Luo Heng will not dislike having a lot of money, and it is more about material exchange when he is behind, he said.
"Black!" Kuisen was very eye-opening to Luo Heng's various routines, in fact, Kuisen didn't know, this is a fart, that is what you can buy on the road, and there are so many expenses.
"Let's do it or not, anyway, the territorial waters are mine, if I'm not happy, I'll check you once a year and collect your money. Luo Heng said angrily.
"Phew. Hearing this, Quison spat on the ground.
"The Shipping Industry Association needs dwarves, dwarves, we can't handle it. Quison spoke.
"Then join it, what's so strange, it's definitely inseparable, but the one that ignites the fire in the back, I specialize, others can't study or buy and sell, okay, I want 25% of the shipping industry association." Luo Heng said.
"Okay, in the future, the ** used by Chuanshan will be your franchise. "What can Quison say?
Luo Heng opened his mouth and said: "Okay, the rest of the things are left to you, I want to go back, the mining city will step up production, and strive to send you a batch of refined iron in a short time." ”
"Well, and wood, the wood from the Orc Empire is good. Kuisen nodded, the mining city really needs to step up, otherwise the price of refined iron will skyrocket.
The price of fine iron itself has risen, but the major nobles have been miserable this time, especially those who are doing grain hoarding, the price is constantly falling, and the grain harvest is abundant.
The futures market is wailing, and in a month, the price of grain is still 20% lower than last year, wool, jerky, salt.
All fell, and many chambers of commerce went bankrupt directly, and then went to the financial association for loans.
There is no way, the major empires actually don't want the price of materials to be so high, and after visiting the artillery this time, these empires have confidence.
"Do you want to purchase 36-pounder cannons separately, fifteen hundred?" Luo Heng asked in surprise when he saw the representative of the Bright Sect.
"Yes, we've heard of the biggest one?" said the messenger.
"Of course, the fortress cannon, but this one, you have so much money, and 100,000 matching projectiles?" Luo Heng asked.
"Your Excellency can't deliver it together, and according to our information, other empires will also purchase it. The messenger replied.
"Of course, this requires a process, are you going to put it on the city wall?" Luo Heng asked.
"Hmm. The messenger spoke.
"Actually, it's okay to put wheels on a 12-pounder gun and follow behind the infantry, I have a physical object here. Luo Heng said.
A special 36-pounder gun, how much fine iron is needed, and 12 pounder is king.
A war horse dragged a cannon and galloped on the road, and the envoy of the Bright Empire directly purchased this sample, and then brought it back, and went directly to the magic airship with deep pockets.
"The Dark Empire is a good person!" Luo Heng sighed, under this threat, these nobles were only afraid to arm themselves with all their money.
"Why don't you build a villa area over there of the Orc Empire?" Luo Heng muttered in his heart, how did the Dark Empire fail, that is, it was defeated by the orcs.
The worst time, this continent was occupied by 60%, all of them were cities, and humans were forced ~ into the mountains, and the Dark Empire attacked the northern fortress, after all, it was one of the largest armed forces of mankind at that time.
How do you know that you met with the orcs under the northern fortress, the dark empire is not dead, the orcs are even more so, the orcs are 30,000 minotaurs, 10,000 bear men, 1,000 rhinoceros people are the main force, 50,000 wolf cavalry auxiliary, 200,000 dark empire troops are beaten, the armor is abandoned, the orcs directly chase and kill more than 300 kilometers, the most bullish dark mage group of the dark empire at that time was directly wiped out, and the fallen angel knights of the dark empire were wiped out, of course, all the minotaurs on the side of the orc empire were killed, all the bears were killed, rhinos, hippopotamus people were killed, and there were 20,000 wolf cavalry left, It raged throughout the continent until winter, and then returned to the orc empire.
So since then, the major human empires have not taken the initiative to attack the orc empire, and it is because of this that they have opened trade routes, but in the end, the peace has been too long, and the human merchants are too greedy, so the relationship between the two has become tense again.
"There's a head, just on the hill opposite the Ice and Snow City, build a villa area, well, build a road first. Luo Heng felt that there was something wrong, and secretly planned it.
Luo Heng summoned Nicole and Alicia, but both Alicia and Nicole objected, and Alicia said: "The nobles are greedy, and the orc empire is not welcome." ”
"Cheney, why go over there, we go to the sea, there are so many mountains, we still have the giant legion here, and the orc legion, we can do it over there. Nicole suggested.
"It makes sense, let's make a wave first. Luo Heng decided to do this.
