Chapter 142: Blast Furnace

"We can also pull our second in the world here to do this thing, as long as we adjust the prices well, and only make very small profits, or even no profits, this business will completely fall on us. And we, too, can form a monopoly. Moreover, we can also buy a large number of things made by those sub-classes, and determine the price according to the specifications, and we only charge a fee, which is not only convenient for those who concentrate on leveling, but also for those players who want weapons. In order to build our popularity, we also have to go to those skilled blacksmiths who practice their skills in Iron Valley, or players of any other profession, and let their works be set up by our second in the world. In this way, our second in the world will go deep into the hearts of every player. As long as we have the second place in the world, others will choose us to be the second in the world when they buy things in the future. I said wistfully.

"It's also a way to advertise, and it's a very clever one. Moreover, after we form a monopoly, we can also use this monopoly to set up different supply levels, so that those players who want to develop here can get the most discounts. In fact, we can do more incentives, don't we have the authority to decide taxes? We have adjusted the tax to the minimum, what we have done is to attract those players to invest here, anyway, we can't get a penny of those taxes, we just need to develop Iron Valley. Hey, dragon, that's what you call using the power of the masses! "The more he talks, the more open-minded he becomes.

"Yes, let's not focus on these small things, it's funny, we just worried about whether or not to collect the royalties for the use of the blacksmith, we should have a big mind, don't be afraid of others making money, as long as there is money to be made in this place, they will come. We have to keep things simple, we will no longer charge the royalties for the use of those blackworks, and we will also privatize the blackworks that will be built in the future, whether they are wholly-owned or joint ventures, as long as they build the ironworks, the ironworks will be theirs. "My train of thought was also opened up by the Blue War.

"However, we can't let them build indiscriminately, and we only allow a certain number of blackworks to be built every month. And those lands that can be used to build blacksmiths will be auctioned to the whole people, and the highest price will be awarded. And in order for some people to speculate on the land here, we have to limit the construction time of the blacksmith that is auctioned off, and we must also stipulate the maximum royalty for the blacksmith. Lan Zhan added.

"It's not enough for us to just think about the construction in the Iron Valley, we have to develop the surrounding mines, and when the weapons market in our Iron Valley has a certain scale, we will develop those forest farms. For the convenience of those sub-players, we might as well rough process this raw material and do it together, and those players, as long as they pay a small amount of money, can buy our raw materials and do what they like to do.

"Then let's first design the plan for our future construction of Tiegu." Lan Zhan said.

"The planning of this Iron Valley is related to the future development of the Iron Valley, and these plans must be designed scientifically, so that our Iron Valley will not be duplicated or too many useless buildings will be built. Therefore, these design things should be handed over to professionals. However, I don't know anyone who has these skills. Lan Zhan, do you know such a design talent? I asked.

"I know some, I'll be responsible for the overall design of this Iron Valley." Lan Zhan said.

"Well, I'll leave the overall design of this Iron Valley to you. In addition to this one thing, we also have to find some more helpers to help us, if we rely on us alone, even if we have three heads and six arms, there is no way to completely cover the affairs of this Iron Valley. This emperor is really good, let us have full authority to manage Iron Valley, and he didn't even give us an NPC, completely let us do it ourselves. I said with some grumbling.

"Dragon, our Iron Valley has not yet been upgraded to a village, and we certainly haven't received any help from the NPCs sent by the system. But when it comes to manpower, we have the best team in the world, aren't there still several people who can use it? Lan Zhan said.

"Also, we are the first in the world, there are so many people, we don't need them, who else do we go to! I'm going to call them all over. I said.

It didn't take long for Liu Zi, Sister Hua, Cairo, Blue Blood and Blue Sky, Phantom and other members of our team to be the first in the world to come.

"Boss, the doglegs of the Jiangshan League are really miserable, they are hunted down and killed everywhere, even if they withdraw from the alliance, as long as they are recognized by others, they will be dismembered by random knives. Hey! Just now, our brother was entertaining a dog leg of the Jiangshan Alliance, and that's what is interesting. While we were having fun, we heard your call, Boss, did something happen? "After sweeping thousands of troops, I have been talking strange things.

"Brothers, I summoned you this time because I have something to entrust you." I said.

The swept army didn't make a sound, and everyone didn't say anything, and everyone waited quietly for my next words. I glanced at them and continued, "Everyone should know that the system allows us to manage this Iron Valley, but the situation in this Iron Valley is very complicated, various forces are entangled with each other, and there are only two of us, so I want everyone to help us through this most difficult period. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, their faces showed a look of longing, and this opportunity to touch power is not very common. I took all of their looks in my eyes, and then I said, "Guys, let me tell you first, this is a job that is not paid, and you are not paid any salary, no matter how high the position you get. Moreover, this work of managing Iron Valley will waste a lot of your time, and it will also directly affect your leveling speed. ”

"I can follow the boss, even if it's upside down, I'm willing to do it!" Sweeping thousands of troops said without looking back. The others nodded in agreement.

"Good! Since everyone supports me like this, we will definitely be able to build a good Iron Valley. Now I'm going to assign a job. Sister Hua, some time ago, you helped Sister Liu manage Tiegu very well, so this time, the head of Tiegu is none other than you. I said to Sister Hua with a smile.

"Phantom, the security of this Iron Valley is left to you, you take your dragon team and clear us of the players who have destroyed our Iron Valley. When the time comes, we will make you a uniform equipment. I said to the Phantom again.

"Old pig!" I shouted to the old pig who had been wandering.

"Yes! Leader of the Alliance. The old pig hurriedly replied.

"Old pig, this Tianmeng has been disbanded, I am the second leader of our world, you still call me second brother like them!" I shook my head and said.

"Second brother, what's the matter with looking for the old pig?" The old pig tilted his head and asked.

"Old pig, listen to Wulei, you've been soaking in the mine before, haven't you?" I asked him with a smile.

"Second brother, do you want me to mine?" The old pig said.

"It's not mining, it's mining!" I said.

"Open a mine?" The old pig was stunned, and then said: "My old pig will only mine in the mine, not mine. ”

"I've heard that if you successfully develop a new vein, you can get 500% mining rate in this mine, and in other places, the mining rate will increase to 200%. In addition, those who succeed in developing the mine will also get a good skill - prospecting, after having this skill, you can know the number of various ores in the place you choose to dig, and if the prospecting technique is relatively advanced, you can also dig out some mysterious ores. I said to the old pig.

"Everyone knows this, and many of the veins in this game have been announced by the system. But so far, I haven't heard of that person being able to develop a new vein. This development of ore veins, knowing that ore veins are only the first step, and to successfully develop ore veins, you need to open a mine hole that the player opens, just in the ore vein, and also need to dig a 10-kilometer-long ore hole, and in this new ore hole, dig out more than 100,000 tons of ore of the same kind. Only such a mine can be recognized by the system, and the person who develops it can be rewarded by the system. "The old pig is very clear about these aspects.

"Old pig, don't worry about these for now, I'm just asking you, do you want to develop a mine hole." I looked into the eyes of the old pig and said.

"Developing a mine has always been a miner's dream, so why wouldn't I want to? It's just that it's too difficult to develop new mines. If no one helps, digging out 100,000 tons of ore will be a task that will never be completed by one person. Before the newly developed mine is recognized by the system, it can only get one-tenth of the mining rate, and who will come in to help you develop such a low output rate? The old pig almost shouted.

"Very good, as long as you are willing, I can naturally find a group of people to help you develop together." I said with a smile.

"If that's the case, of course I do." The old pig said.

"Boss, why haven't you given me a task? I'm going to help you with something too. Wu Lei looked depressed on the side, jumped out and said.

"No thunder, there will be a task for you. You just help the old pig and escort those ores back! Lan Zhan interjected.

"No, I have to do some challenging work." Wulei hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Then what do you think is challenging?" Cairo quipped.

"I,...... There is no thunder, but it is fragmented, and it is not said that he is ugly.

"Wulei, if you haven't decided what you want to do, then let's talk about it later, we won't refuse your help." I relieved the thunderstorm. Then I said to the others, "The work of Tiegu has not started yet, and after a while, it will be impossible for everyone to help without helping. ”

After saying this, the system reminded us that it was time to eat, so we went offline together.

At the dinner table, while gobbling up the rice, I said to Liu Zi: "Sister Liu, I will be responsible for the second in the world for you later, hello, your task is to handle the second business in the world." ”

Liu Zi had been eating very lightly, and when she heard my words, she didn't nod or shake her head, and her hands didn't even stagnate in the slightest.

"Sister Liu, I want to build our second in the world into the largest game equipment market in the entire game, and in our second in the world, you can buy the best things with the least amount of money. Moreover, we are the second in the world, and we will also have the most efficient logistics, as long as our customers need, we are the second in the world, and we can also get the goods to the place specified by the customer in the shortest possible time. "I felt like I saw the second in the world, spread across every city in the game.

"What I said are my dreams, but Sister Liu, you are the wings of my dreams, and without you, there is no way for me to fly." I continued.

Liu Zi suddenly laughed, she sandwiched me the fattest piece of meat, and then said to me, "You are so afraid of eating fat, but why is your mouth so slippery?" What else do you say I am your wings, and you want to coax me to help you, don't do this! ”

"Sister Liu, you know, I'm most afraid of those trivial things, but the second in the world and the first in the world, they will be my main source of income in the future, I don't have the energy to manage them myself, and I don't worry about others helping me manage them. Sister Liu, you are the person I trust the most, and I can only hand over these properties to you to help me take care of them. I quietly ate the fat and said.

"Dragon, I'm your employee! What do you tell me to do, and how can I not do it? Liu Zi looked at me with a smile and said.

"Sister Liu, you agreed! After you take over our second place in the world, you will immediately buy all the ore in the hands of the player. After a while, we'll go into the game and use Iron Valley's to smelt those original mines. We are not very clear about the purchase price, we have to calculate how much smelting cost is needed for a furnace of raw ore. This way we can decide how much we should buy the ore and how high we should sell the metal we have smelted. We can only make a small profit, but we must dominate the supply market of this metal. I then said to Liu Zi.

"Back when you said you were going to build the Iron Valley, I was already helping you find a lot of craftsmen. I've talked to them and I've left their contact information. As long as we really want to build Iron Valley that day, we can ask them for help. Liu Zi said quietly, she is really an understanding girl.

"Sister Liu, thank you, you will be the second president in the world in the future, and all these things will be handed over to you to manage, and you can handle whatever kind of person you need to help. If they need what kind of conditions, you can also look at it, and you don't have to go through me. Wait a minute, I'll give you a large number of NPC blacksmiths, and you can use them as you please. Also, I have bought Jiangshan City and changed its name to Paradise, and I have also made you the owner of Paradise, where you can exercise all your permissions, and when you have time in the future, you can also go there to see, it is our city! I said to Liu Zi.

"Good! Dragon, you are more Zhou Peel than Zhou Peel! If you want me to do so many things, you capitalists are really vampires! Liu Zi said jokingly.

"Sister Liu, how can you say that? I have already given you 30% of the shares of the second in the world, if you are a capitalist, you are also one! I looked at Liu Zi and smiled evilly.

I thought that Liu Zi would be very happy to hear the news, but when I saw her, I said in a low voice: "Dragon, you have now made so much money from the game, why are you still so immersed in the game!" It's been so long since school started, and you only went to report on the first day of school, and you never went at other times. Also, you promised me that you would take time out to review every day, but you never fulfilled it. Dragon, you can get a lot of money from the game, but that can't replace your studies! ”

As soon as I heard this, my head immediately grew. I was trying to slip away, but I saw Liu Zi looking at me with those extremely resentful eyes, that pitiful look, I had no choice but to surrender. Stubbornly said: "Sister Liu, after I finish the matter of Tiegu, I will definitely review my homework seriously." ”

After we got everything done, we entered the game again, and as soon as we got into the game, I immediately pulled Liu Zi and ran towards it. Compared with the lively scene everywhere in Iron Valley, this is really deserted, and all the people who come here come here to visit.

We approached these and found that these were very huge, each one was about ten meters high, and it was estimated that these could smelt hundreds of tons of original ore at a time. The fire has been extinguished, and the whole thing is ruined.

"Sister Liu, call those craftsmen of yours to come, we will smelt the ore of this first furnace." These are the starting point of my dreams! Looking at this, I rubbed my hands together excitedly and said.

Smelting is not an easy task, we continuously moved a day's ore and a large amount of coal for smelting into the iron valley, and then we gathered a large number of blacksmiths, and finally in a hurry, it took a whole day to get a furnace, and the metal yield of this furnace is very low, only less than 12% of the metal content in the ore. After inquiring again, it turned out that this smelting, although it also belongs to the skills of blacksmiths, is a first-class system, and the smelting skills of the people present are very low.

Upon hearing of this, I immediately sent them to my paradise, gathered together my blacksmiths, and then selected all those with advanced smelting skills, and counted them, and there were thousands. I'm going to pull them all to the edge of the Iron Valley, and then find an excuse to dismiss all the craftsmen of those players, I want to dominate the smelting market, and I won't let any player have access to this smelting work.

The second furnace began to feed again, this time with a high-level smelting technique, the time required was shortened, and the transformation of the metal reached 15%. Although all aspects have improved, the final result is still not satisfactory. Moreover, I always feel that the cooperation of these pure NPCs and blacksmiths is very blunt, there are many things, we must command, if we don't command, they don't know what to do, NPCs are NPCs, give them orders to let them do things, they will be meticulous in execution, but they don't know how to be flexible.

"Dragon, it seems that we can't drive all the craftsmen away, this smelting work must be presided over by the player." Liu Zi frowned and said to me.

"In order to achieve the goal of dominance, no other players will ever touch this. However, with these NPCs alone, there is no way to carry out this smelting work, so what should I do? "I thought about it there for a long time, and finally, I thought about it again.

"Sister Liu, we can invite an NPC housekeeper to come, although they are NPCs, they have quite high skills, and using them to manage the smelting work will definitely improve a lot of efficiency." I said happily.

"Those NPC butlers, they must be very expensive!" Liu Zi asked me.

"It's more expensive than any other NPC, but it's worth it! In our paradise, there is one such steward who does the day-to-day management work. Moreover, after they are bought, the level of management and intelligence can still be continuously improved. Kindness! I've decided that I'm going to buy more low-level butlers and let them take care of all these things for me, so that you don't have so much pressure, and I can also train them, and when they go up the level, they will be able to help us do more things. "The more I talked, the more excited I became.

As soon as I said it, I immediately went to the capital city of our district, and then bought three third-order butlers, and five first-order butlers. After buying these NPC stewards, I suddenly remembered that I wanted the old pig to develop the ore vein, so I immediately bought another 1,000 lowest-level blacksmiths. These blacksmiths, and the more than 5,000 low-level blacksmiths that I put back in the paradise after my auction, can be combined into a legion, and I want to train them to become my mining brigade, with them, our ore will not be scarce.

First go back to the park, leave the 1,000 low-level blacksmiths in the park, and then replace the original first-order steward with the third-order butler that he bought, and take full charge of the work in the park. One is dedicated to the management of the craftsmen. The other one I want to bring back to Iron Valley, and those first-order stewards, I divide them into three equal parts, so that each third-order steward carries two, so that the efficiency of those stewards can also be improved.

Take the butler to the side of the Iron Valley, and immediately let it manage the blacksmiths. Under the auspices of the steward, a new furnace of ore was thrown in. This time, we completely ignored them, and we wanted to know if this steward could smelt these ores.
