Chapter 228: What is a sword?
When the tax paid by the Wei's Sword Forge Shop in the first month was reported to Sword Rin Sakura, she was taken aback.
"3 billion? Profit?! How can it be?! ”
Jian Rin Yingxing's eyes widened, and she carefully read and looked at the report that Huo Jing handed over to her, but the numbers on it really couldn't be faked, it was clearly written that it was 3 billion, and the zero behind was a little much, and she spent a lot of time confirming that it was indeed so much.
If Wei Gong knew that she was reacting like this, it is estimated that she would not report it truthfully, because 35% of the amount would be paid to Mengjian Kingdom as a tax.
What's even more troublesome is that he has to pay He Qingyuan a monthly fee of 1 million per month for raising spiders.
Coupled with the construction of two branches, the recruitment of manpower, and the purchase of sword-forging materials, it was a large expense, although it seemed that the remaining funds were abundant, but in fact, it was not much.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister also thought it was a mistake, but then I checked it carefully, and found that there were 605 Yiqin swords sold by the Wei Palace this month, and the price of each one was 5 million, deducting the cost of casting the sword he reported, there are indeed so many."
"I see."
Kenrin Sakura nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and raised her head in horror.
"What?! 605?! How can he make so many Winged Qin Swords in a month? ”
This figure is almost the annual output of the Dream Sword Kingdom's imperial house, and at least 10 swordsmiths must be arranged, which may not be able to be completed with quality and quantity.
Is Emiya a monster?
Huo Jing nodded, "Yes, this number is indeed exaggerated, I have already checked with Master Liu Dun, he said that after the Imperial Workshop obtained the sword casting score provided by Master Weigong, it can indeed make a Wing Qin Sword, but a high-quality Wing Qin Sword will cost about 10 man-days." We have verified that the Wing Qin Sword produced by Emiya is indeed a superior work, and the pitch and craftsmanship are quite perfect. ”
According to the agreement, the Dream Sword Kingdom Imperial House was also sold at a price 5% higher than the price of the Imperial Palace, and the number of orders was not much, and many of them came because of the fame of Sword Rin Sakura, not to mention that the production efficiency could not keep up, and the national factory could not make much money at all.
Kenrin Sakura folded her hands to her abdomen, hiding under the table and shivering secretly.
She tried to calm down, turned her head and looked at the promotional video of Yiqin Sword shot with her as the protagonist playing in the Qiankun mirror next to her, and thought that it was really a big loss.
……
Emiya propped his chin with a sad face, his eyes staring motionlessly at the casting furnace.
He was stuck in a bottleneck in the creation of a new sword.
The main reason why the Wing Qin Sword can be mass-produced is that it is a combination sword with very complete standards, from one of the sound vibrating plates to the metal wings on the outside, which are very fixed.
However, for other swords, it is very difficult to perform the same operation, on the one hand, because the results of other swords are easy to change, and on the other hand, according to the proportion of materials in the sword casting spectrum, the sword created by the machine is always unsatisfactory.
……
"So the swordsmith has to forge a sword?" Cui Xiaoxiao looked disdainful, "Who made those pots and pans?" ”
She lifted the Sword Chariot and moved forward 3 squares.
Since the last time she came back from her dream, she asked Xin Lang to help make a chess deck out of boredom.
This incident surprised Xin Lang, and secretly praised in his heart that she was worthy of being the sister of the Great God Master, which was also unfathomable.
In order to pass the time, she also taught Xinlang the rules of chess, and now the two of them can win and lose each other.
"How can those ordinary blacksmiths compare to swordsmiths?" Before Wei Gong could speak, it was his only apprentice who spoke for him, and Xin Lang said proudly, "Swordsmith is the greatest profession of this era, because the sword is the foundation of the world, and those ordinary and ordinary life utensils are generally not built by swordsmiths. ”
Xin Lang thought for a while, and then used it to eat Cui Xiaoxiao's soldiers who were about to reach the bottom line.
He is very satisfied with the game invented by the little aunt, and is fascinated by it, this game is simply a microcosm of a real country, in which there are kings, queens, swords and chariots, brute beasts (elephants), prime ministers (elephants) and soldiers.
Everything is centered on the king, and if the king dies, it fails, how similar to reality, every country has its own king, who are the leaders and at the same time the core of a country.
For the first time, Xin Lang experienced the difficulty and excitement of being a commander of the whole army, playing chess with Xiao Shigu was like playing against two armies, on the surface it was just a chess piece, but in fact, in his mind, he had already depicted the real and cruel scene of the battlefield.
And what Xin Lang admires the most is not the king and queen, but the humble [soldier] at the bottom, in the rules of chess, the pawn can only advance, not retreat, what a fearless spirit of steel.
When a pawn reaches the opponent's baseline, it transforms into any character other than King.
This point was very shocking to Xin Lang, because all the concepts he had heard and received before were that if you were a low-level ant-people, you would always be an ant-people, and it was impossible for you to become a high-level nobleman, let alone a high-ranking eagle dragon in power.
However, the aunt told him that the soldier can become the queen, as long as you reach that line.
What a big rebellion, that's it, and many concepts that my aunt and my master usually talk to, are having a subtle impact on Xin Lang.
Cui Xiaoxiao held her chin in her hand, and then picked up one of the [soldiers] to continue to take a step forward.
"Cut, that's an exaggeration, it's just a special blacksmith." She pursed the corners of her lips, revealing an indifferent expression that was completely inconsistent with the age of 5 years old, "And there is no distinction between high and low professions." For us, isn't it good to just make enough money to be able to buy more materials for making starships? ”
"I can't say that, okay, I still have my own insistence." Emiya said helplessly.
But he did think about it, too-
Why a sword?
In the world of fairy sword, why has the sword become the driving core of the central industry?
And what exactly is the definition of a sword?
Is it a shape? Or something else?
Until now, Emiya has not figured this out, why can't he use a hat or a book to fly in the sky?
"Okay, I'm going to be the queen!"
Cui Xiaoxiao laughed, pushed the pawn to the bottom line, and then replaced it with [back].
Empress.
This is the dream of many girls.
At the beginning, Cui Xiaoxiao liked chess, not only because it was a high-IQ competitive game, but more importantly, it could make a small soldier become a queen.
