"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are visiting the ironsmith workshop, which mainly processes pig iron from the blast furnaces, and it is from here that the most produced small ironware in Icefield City is produced. ”

Walking into one of the workshops of the ironsmith workshop, the sound of a dozen steam engines was so loud that one could barely hear what Bernice was saying, and the people who worked here wore earplugs and masks, and did not react much to the merchants who came in to visit.

The merchants directly ignored Bernice's explanation, and began to carefully examine the various strange machines around them, such as boring machines, milling machines, grinders, punching machines, die-casting machines, etc., driven by steam engines;

However, there are only a few lathes driven by steam engines, and the rest are small lathes with human pedal drive gears turning, although the efficiency of these lathes is not as good as that of steam engines, but fortunately it is easy to master, these machine tools are controlled by some young apprentices, mainly processing some less complex things, including wood and stone processing, but the merchants know at a glance that the defective rate of the things they produce is very high.

This is how Icefield City's endless supply of goods was produced, and even merchants who no longer know iron tools will see such a scene and sigh that this is simply a factory for producing gold coins.

The steady stream of output made all the merchants a little envious, and they couldn't help but think that if they could have such a workshop, they would only need to operate for half a year, and they would not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives.

There were also curious merchants who directly picked up some iron tools and played with them on the grinder and some other simple machinery, but Bernice didn't stop them, anyway, it was so noisy that she probably wouldn't hear them.

When they had enough, some of the merchants with tinnitus left the workshop, and when they stood at the door of the workshop, they found that there were five such factories with tin sheds, and it was no wonder when they came to pick up the goods, and the stock was always sufficient.

"Lord Deputy Chief, what is the price of those machines just now?"

"Except for the steam engine, we are not going to sell other lathes for the time being, but you can send workers to Icefield City, we can rent them to you, except for the fifty gold coins you have to pay us for each machine per month, the output of the product is divided into thirty-seven, we are three and you seven, we will not block what products to do, you can decide for yourself. ”

With that, Bernice led the group into a factory again, which was a quiet factory full of lathes and steam engines, as if everything was ready to be continued, and someone was waiting to control them.

"Oh my God, I want twenty seats!" someone couldn't help but call out, and the merchants secretly planned Bernice's conditions, and found that even if they paid such a high rent, the profits would still be large enough, so they all enthusiastically signed up.

"Don't panic, it's not too late to discuss these matters at the City Lord's Mansion later, let's go to the mine now. ”

Bernice felt that the merchants seemed to be mistaken for the wrong person, and Rafa had told her to draw the merchants to the steam engine, but now the merchants seemed to be less interested in the steam engine, but more enthusiastic about machine tools, and talked about how elaborate they were.

"God, don't these idiots know that it's the steam engine that makes the machine move?"

For today's visit, on the railway leading to the mine, a flat iron car was specially added behind the steam engine that pushed the empty iron car to the mine, and in order to prevent the merchants from standing unsteadily and falling down when they reached the slope, there was a fence around the small iron car.

Interested men and women helped each other and laughed and got on the flat iron car, and the young man who controlled the proposed steam locomotive saluted the merchants, and then pressed the linkage valve.

"Wow!"

The sudden movement of the small iron cart startled the people above, and they had to hold the fence firm.

The merchants felt a gentle breeze in the warm sun, and they couldn't help but think that if this thing could be connected to their hometown, it would be much easier to transport goods or travel in the future.

Arriving at a mine on the mountain, the merchants disconnected the steam engine from the mine cart in front of them, and then hinged it to another steam engine and sent the mine cart into the mine.

In a few moments, the cave was filled with the sound of bells, the steam engines filled with water from the tap water system roared, and the thick hinges were jumped straight, and the five minecarts loaded with coal mines were pulled out like giant beasts.

"Oh my God! This guy has a lot of strength!"

After this demonstration, the merchants understood the purpose of this thing, and immediately admired it, which relieved Bernice, who was also showing the steam engine, it seems that these merchants are not so stupid.

"I have to buy a few more, and in the future I will have a lot fewer porters on the dock, so that those workers will not always be careless. ”

"I have to buy this big guy in my mill, and this guy must be faster than a windmill or a watermill. ”

"I've heard that this big guy can pump water, and that's so useful. ”

"Lord Deputy Chief, then... How many gold coins do you need for such a steam engine?"

The merchants gathered Bernice in the middle, waiting for her to tell her the price.

Bernice glanced at the paper leaf in her hand, "No two prices, four hundred gold coins, if you want to increase the pumping pump, add another hundred gold coins, and the installation fee, thirty gold coins." ”

Some of the businessmen present are doing big business and some are doing small, and they are beginning to think about whether they can return to their original costs at this price.

Someone was bold and said directly, "I want ten steam engines, and five more water... Water pump. ”

"Oh?" Bernice knew that she had met a big customer, she was still a businesswoman, don't look at her just now, she had been silent, but there was a tall woman standing beside her, although she was wearing civilian clothes, but at a glance she knew that she was a knight, and a woman who could have a guardian knight was also a marquis.

"Your Excellency?"

"Adeline Hyperion. The middle-aged woman wore a shawl that an aristocrat liked to wear, but her slightly wrinkled face was not as proud as that of a nobleman.

"Hyperion!?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this surname, and even Bernice was slightly nervous.

"Hehehe, don't be afraid," Adeline said with a warm smile on her face, "I wasn't sent by Byron, although I am from the Hyperion family, but my ancestors left Byron when Hyperion was not yet prosperous, and now I am just a merchant who likes to wander around, except for my surname, I have nothing to do with Byron's group of guys." ”

"I see......," she explained, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, for if it was really someone sent by Yalvis, they would all have to grovel to their knees.

"Well, Deputy Chief, I have enough of what I need to buy, right?" said Adeline with a smile at Bernice.

"Of course, if you want, we can send someone to load the ship today. "Bernice is going to save this man

Telling Felihill that maybe the leader of the witches really knew this man.

With one person in place, the rest of the merchants began to order in enthusiasm, and Bernice had to take them back to the Lord's Mansion to discuss the rental of a lathe and the sale of a steam engine.

"You may be seated. In the hall, the maids were bringing hot tea to the merchants, and Rafa smiled in response to the merchants' salute.

"Listen to Bernice, your last name is Hyperion?" said Rafa, as soon as the merchant took his seat, could not help but ask the lady with the knight.

"Yes, I'm not just here to do business, I have another matter to discuss with your wife, Her Highness Filihill. Adeline looked at Rafa closely, and she felt that Rafa in front of her seemed to be a little different from what had been rumored.

"I see. ”

The process of signing the contract was very simple, Adeline, who was worth a lot of money, bought the most steam engines, rented the most lathes, and although the rest of the merchants also actively participated, none of them could compare to her, but in the end, the lathe in the empty factory was rented, and a total of twenty steam engines were sold, and a large amount of gold coins came in Icefield City.

Just as the merchants were preparing to leave, they had the privilege of witnessing the legendary pearl of Byron.

"Marquis Adeline. Felihill sat down beside Rafa and bowed slightly to Adeline.

"Fili......" Adeline stared at Felicille like the others, but her eyes were full of tenderness, "Hehehe, you were a little girl when I used to go to Byron, and now you have become a beautiful lady. ”

Knowing that it was time to talk about personal matters, Bernice coughed and told the merchants to hurry away.

"If I'm not mistaken, you and my mother are cousins. ”

"That's right, I used to play with Lena when I was a kid," Adeline looked at Rafa and then at Feilihill, as if thinking about something, "Fili, you...... How are you doing here?"

"I'm having a good time, thank you. ”

"That's good, that's good......"

"I heard you have something to tell me?"

"Ahh Yes, but ......" Adeline glanced at Rafa.

"You talk, let's go first. Rafa shrugged and walked away with Audrey and Bernice without eavesdropping next door.

"Fili, you... It's a witch, right?"

"Yalvis told you?"

"No, it was a witch who told me. ”

"Who?"

"I don't know who she is, but she told me to tell you...... The Capetian family is home to many witches in their cells. ”

"What else?" the look on Felihill's face didn't change in the slightest.

She said that Byron's army was preparing to storm the city of Cape, and that Count Capet was likely to kill the witches. ”

"Got it. ”

The conversation between the two ended quickly, and it seemed that she had just come to report the news.

"Mia, is what she said true?" asked Felihill as Adeline left, heading towards the empty hall.

Flo and Mia appeared out of thin air, "Except for the fact that the sentence 'I don't know who this witch is' is fake, everything else is basically true." ”

Felihill thought for a moment, "Looks like we're going to trouble him again." 2k reading network
