As early as when he said goodbye to the dwarven mage Malkem, Jian Chen had already written a letter for Malkam to pass on to the dwarven king Hesfa at the appropriate time.

In the letter, Chen Jian explained in detail his thoughts and plans to cooperate with the Hill Dwarves.

The hill dwarves are world-famous for their crafting techniques, and the weapons and armor they make have always been sought-after on the continent of Erathia, and even many powers and nations are loyal customers of equipment made by the dwarves.

Because of this, the dwarven king Hesfa was able to bring his people to the wind and water in Baildus.

As a lord, of course, Jian Chen also wanted to get all kinds of equipment made by the dwarves to arm his army.

But from Earth, he thinks a little further.

Not content with just buying weapons and equipment from his neighbors, his plan was for the dwarves to open an arsenal in their domain.

In his letter, he warmly invited the hill dwarves to set up a foundry in Hammondal, and talked about the geographical advantages of their territory and their business ideas.

This kind of beautiful prospect and planning made the dwarf king's heart flutter.

In the past, the arms business of the hill dwarves tended to be made in stone castles with various weapons and equipment, and then sold around through the dwarves' own caravans.

In order to achieve the best sales results, these pre-built weapons and equipment are of course more common and universal styles, although the price is more expensive than other ordinary goods, but it is not too outrageous, otherwise it will definitely not sell.

This kind of sales method is not only backward and inefficient, but also costs a lot of manpower, material resources and time.

However, due to the superb craftsmanship of the dwarves, the weapons and equipment made by the dwarves are still in short supply, so this sales method still brings huge profits to the dwarves.

But now Jian Chen pointed out a different path for the Dwarf King.

According to Jian Chen's plan, the Dwarf King would change his sales methods in the future, and he suggested that the Dwarf King open a large foundry in Hammondale and set up a display shop in the local market to take orders.

Then, in addition to preparing some inventory of commonly used goods, the foundry factory only produces according to the orders received by the shops in the market, transforming from the previous planned economy to a market economy.

From now on, the dwarves are only responsible for production, everyone wants weapons, they go to Hammondale to buy it, what kind of style is needed, how much quantity is needed, what kind of special requirements are there, the dwarves can be tailored for buyers, and the price will be discounted, but delivery is not included.

Jian Chen believed that with the craftsmanship of the dwarves, it was not impossible to achieve such a situation, and their craftsmanship was simply outstanding.

It is not uncommon on the continent of Erathia that no one or no race can outperform the Hill Dwarves in their casting process, but if it is to be produced in large quantities without sacrificing quality, only the Hill Dwarves can do it.

This is due to the fact that the dwarves were born with an unparalleled talent for the craft of casting.

The Dwarven King found that if things really went well, the dwarves would be able to save a lot of manpower and material resources, and sit in Hammondal, not far from the door, to make a fortune.

At the same time, with the help of Hammondal's incomparably developed commerce in the future, he could also buy enough food and other supplies in Hammondal, and the role of the caravan also changed from business to transportation, they only needed to send the steel extracted from the iron ore to the foundry in Hammondal, and then transport the food and supplies needed from Hammondale back to the stone castle.

Moreover, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, Chen Jian also generously said to the dwarf king that this dwarf foundry in his territory can be exempted from taxes for two years, and the taxes will be halved for the next three years, and the only condition is that the weapons orders placed by Chen Jian must be produced first.

In this way, even if the Dwarf King's investment fails, there will not be much loss, which is also one of the important reasons why the Dwarf King decided to cooperate with Chen Jian.

The Dwarf King sent a messenger this time, and in addition to conveying to Jian Chen that he was very interested in cooperating, he also specially sent a magic letter teleportation array to Jian Chen, so as to facilitate future contact between the two sides.

With this handy tool, Jian Chen and the Dwarven King quickly reached an agreement, and the first batch of fifty dwarven craftsmen came to Hammondale under the leadership of the dwarven mage Malkem, along with a dwarven caravan full of supplies and a dwarven engineering team of nearly a hundred.

The dwarven king Hesfa was not discouraged by Jian Chen's plans, and out of caution, he decided to set up a small foundry in Hammondale to try the results.

Of course, Chen Jian doesn't have any opinions on this approach, and it is normal for him to have certain concerns about new things.

However, Malkem's arrival surprised Jian Chen, who was quite surprised that the Dwarven King would send this earth magic master to manage a foundry.

"What's so strange about that!" Facing the lord's surprise, Malkaem smiled heartily and said: "I am not only a magician, but also a good blacksmith, my king sent me after knowing that I have a good relationship with your lord, hoping to make the two sides better cooperate, I am also very happy about this, it is my honor to stay with you." ”

As a master of magic, Malkem's mentality is undoubtedly quite good, but the dwarf king's practice of letting the pearl dust still makes Chen Jian shake his head, deeply unworthy of Malkem, and at the same time, he is also very depressed that his ears are about to be destroyed by verbose dwarves again.

Under the personal leadership of Jian Chen, Malkem inspected the plot prepared by Jian Chen for the dwarves with great interest.

It was a hill in the new city of Hammondal, and after discussing it with Kosai, Jian Chen was going to have the dwarves build their foundry in the middle of the mountain.

This is done to cater to the dwarves' habit of living underground, and secondly, they can also use the mountain wall to isolate the loud noise that the foundry will produce, killing two birds with one stone, anyway, the dwarves naturally have a way to solve other problems such as ventilation, just look at the stone castle.

Malkem was quite satisfied with Jian Chen's arrangement, so under his command, the new dwarven engineering team began to work.

The pace of construction of the Dwarven engineering team was remarkable, but within a few days, a small dwarven foundry with supporting quarters, canteens, etc., was completed, fifty dwarven blacksmiths and support staff were stationed in it, and the dwarven shops in the Hammondale Trading Market were opened.

At this time, the Hammondale trading market has begun to be lively, although there are no local specialties in Hammondal, and merchants rarely do anything in Hammondale except for the autumn market in the past, but the strange trading behavior of Morgo in the market during this period of time has attracted great attention from other merchants, and many people have tasted the sweetness from it - the price card of Morgo is very accurate, and while making money on his own, it also allows the caravans who trade with him to enjoy the benefits of shortening the road and speeding up the capital turnover.

Many caravans were now willing to trade with this merchant, who was said to have the backing of a local lord.

Some discerning merchants began to follow the trend and began to buy and sell in Hammondale, following the example of Morgo, but they had to pay a commercial tax to the local lord on the amount of the transaction.

Soon, these merchants began to profit from it, and this safe and profitable way of trading immediately began to spread among the caravanserais, and the fair market, which was still a decent area, was now crowded with merchants every day.

And Mogo's business has also been affected a little because of this, but since it is the lord's own business, he does not have to pay taxes, and he still has a huge advantage over other peers, especially in terms of price, so business is still booming, but it is only slightly lower than before.

The lord was just in time for Robert to release the theory of a prime commercial location and begin to prepare for the real estate business in Hammondal, which would become a center of logistics and trading in the future.

The opening of the dwarven shop caused an uproar among the merchants again, and the preferential price played by the dwarves under the planning of Chen Jian and Mogo made the merchants see a huge business opportunity, and the flow of people who came to the shop to order all kinds of weapons and equipment was endless, and the dwarf foundry, which was underestimated, ran out of raw materials a few days later, and even the many old weapons provided by Chen Jian and the more than sixty full-body steel armors were still not enough after being re-tempered, and Malkem hurriedly reported the situation to the dwarf king Hesfa through magic teleportation, Immediate dispatch of additional manpower and materials for shipment were required.

After the dwarf king calculated the data passed by Malkem for a while, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

This small foundry had generated more profit in a few days than any medium-sized caravan it had ever sent out, and it was almost catching up with a large caravan.

It would take at least two months for a large caravan to generate such a profit.

What does this mean? It's only been a few days, huh? The Dwarven King blew his beard and glared at himself, regretting that he had been too careful in making his decision.

The next day, another group of five hundred dwarven craftsmen set off from the stone castle towards Hammondale with a large number of raw materials and various supplies, escorted by a dwarven army.

And in Hammondale, Malkaem also began to expand the foundry at the request of the Dwarven King.

The good start made the cooperation quite pleasant, and after a while, the Dwarven King found that he was getting more out of Hammondale than he could have imagined, and that there were fewer and fewer Dwarven caravans out to trade.

And with the increasing prosperity of the Hammondale trading market, this profit has a tendency to further expand, and a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment with the symbol of the hill dwarves are transported to every corner of the continent of Erathia by caravans, and the dwarves' arms business is booming.

Chen Jian was also recognized by the hill dwarves, and now, the dwarf king has affectionately called Chen Jian "my friend" in his letters, and said that he would like to go to Hammondale in person to thank Chen Jian for his great help to the hill dwarves, and inspect the situation of the foundry by the way.

In this regard, Chen Jian expressed a warm welcome, and at the same time, he proposed another cooperation plan to the dwarf king.
