The high-ring magicians knew in their hearts that such a condition was to send the children of the family who were too idle to rub their skin or did not seek to improve to investigate the situation, and they had heard that Yi Si had released similar news many times in Clear Water City, and there had never been a bad incident. At this time, it was mentioned in person, and the chat atmosphere was good, and I had to sell face somewhat. Soon, or two or three people, or five or six people, and finally there were more than a hundred, and if we take into account the factors such as the high number of rings and the young age, the benefits brought by this group of people must be no less than the magician laborers brought by the previous two ships.

Jiao Ming was overjoyed, and even forgot the unhappiness at the end of the simulated war game, and praised Yisi for having ideas on the way back, but he never expected to be able to turn here. Yi Si raised his proud head slightly, and his ordinary face exuded a charm, "The motto of our royal merchant fleet: man himself is the most valuable commodity. ”

Jiao Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, summing up such a ban in this world where slavery still exists, and considering the royal status of the Hongshan Kingdom, even if he values his subordinates, he will not let go of the slave business. But if the scope of application is slightly modified, the essence of this sentence is applied to the earth, and it is similar to Uncle Ge's famous saying.

Thinking of this, Jiao Ming took up another topic and asked a few doubts left in his heart. The first is the issue of loyalty and subordination to the Nine Rings or even above the Nine Rings.

"There are differences in the details of each country, but they can be broadly divided into three categories. The first is the direct blood relative, needless to say, the most loyal part, and because of the high starting point of pure blood, there can be such a level of strong people from generation to generation. The second is the strong person who occasionally appears among the collateral relatives. Either he is talented, or he is diligent and hardworking, and he is lucky to live to be promoted to the ninth ring. ”

"Like you?"

"Almost. And this kind of situation is divided into two situations. Those who have always been close to the main family are likely to return to the main family in the form of children or even themselves. In addition, the relationship with the main family is weak and even there is a discord, for various considerations, they will throw themselves into the Magician Association during the sixth and seventh rings, not only to gain more knowledge but also to find a backer. I'm closer to the former, but after this turmoil of the reformist aristocracy, I also have to consider liaising with the Magician Association. ”

Jiao Ming nodded in understanding. The upper and lower limits of the relationship between relatives are very high, some are entrusted with life and death, some turn against each other, close relatives are still like this, and distant relatives are even more difficult to grasp. In a certain four famous novels, a certain female hero can straighten out the relationship between many seven aunts and eight aunts and maintain a good face, and she is really a talent.

"The third group is a craftsman or even a commoner, who awakened his magical talent in the mage tower when he was a child and joined the mage guild, although he may have married some noble families when he was young, but he is closer to the mage guild after all. ”

"It's still that question, if there is a conflict between the Red Mountain Kingdom and the Wizards Association, what is the position of these powerhouses?"

"Are you trying to ask about war?" asked Iss. The solution to the minor contradiction has already been explained: it depends on the benefits given by both sides.

"It can be understood this way. ”

"I'm sorry, but I can't imagine the possibility of war between the Red Mountain Kingdom and the Wizards' Guild. Yisi looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and still shook his head: "The only possibility is that the other two theocracies suddenly disappeared, plus a king or the president of the Wizards' Guild who is too stupid for anyone to understand.

"What if there is a war with a neighboring country?"

"The direct line must be on, and the side line depends on the situation, and craftsmen and people from civilian backgrounds will not sell unless they have a large price. For the sake of the overall situation, in order to prevent the expansion of the scale of the battle array, the latter two types of people will be inhibited from going to the battlefield, and from a personal point of view, in order to protect the interests of its members, it will provide a certain amount of protection to prevent them from being forced by them. ”

"I kind of get it. Next topic. Where did you get those textbooks that Tro led?" After Jiao Ming finished speaking, he made a guess: "It can't be hidden privately, right?"

"It was divided between the royal family and several duke families, and I don't know where it went after that, but I haven't heard about it in Qingshui City, and it's not wrong to say that it's a 'private collection'. Yi Si smiled bitterly, obviously disapproving of this. The things that people Tro led to teach publicly, but they were tightly sealed here, whether they were treasures or tumors, it was just a kind of self-deception.

Jiao Ming was speechless for a while, and confirmed: "That industrial plan is also about the same fate?"

Yi Si smiled and said with relief: "Of course it will be better." Initially, it was passed down from house to family, and then money was allocated to build a house for you to recruit maids. Then the king let out a rumor and ate the ashes for a while. Not long ago, the border was defeated, and part of it should have been turned out again. ”

"Hehe, congratulations. Jiao Ming's words were sarcastic, and then he hesitated for a moment before saying the last question: "It's okay to say that the armor can expand production and sell it ourselves." What are you going to do with rifled guns? It's easy to coax a madman to steal a few for you and give them away, and if you do this business for a long time, it's hard to say what kind of attitude Tro Ling will have. ”

"Can't produce it yourself?" said Is, of course, who was clear about business matters.

If the lion opens his mouth, even if he makes a profit after a simple price increase, he is uncomfortable. Of course, with the experience of the earth, this psychological barrier is only the beginning, and when you taste the sweetness, you will not care.

"You've been to the factories of the crocodile and troop collars, and you should understand the difference between artisans making by hand and mass production. ”

Yi Si nodded, but Chunyu, who had been listening, asked for a detailed explanation, Jiao Ming thought about it, and tilted his head towards the two masked ghosts, "Those two rifled guns, each part can be used interchangeably, and each bullet can be just stuffed into it, you can think about the meaning." ”

"How easy is it to replace when it's damaged?"

"That's one thing, of course, but it's more important about the cost of supplies. Seeing Chunyu's still confused eyes, Jiao Ming had to find an example to illustrate, "Think about the confrontation between the two armies, one side is full of barrels and bullets produced by the handicraft workshop, and the other side is exactly the same standard, and under the same weapon accuracy, the first batch of bullets will be fired at each other." On the one hand, each soldier needs to be properly restocked with the right amount of ammunition, and there may still be a situation where the gun cannot be stuffed into the chamber, while the other side can be taken casually. And since the bullets are also made of two separate methods, the pressure on the rear is also very different. ”

"When you think about it this way, you really have a winner. Chunyu nodded, and Yisi pulled the topic back: "Talk about the difficulties of our own factory production." ”

"There are so many that I can't count. ”

"You just don't know?"

"It can be understood this way. Jiao Ming was not embarrassed to be exposed, and was very frank, explaining: "The machinery and equipment for the processing of large-scale firearm parts are not like the cement factory and steel plant, and some deviations are also used, and the requirements for accuracy are very high for the current technical level. I can give a general idea of the production principle, but the specific process needs to be explored by the professionals themselves. At the beginning, with its own advantages, Tro Ling took a lot of effort to investigate, and focused on the search for talents in this area within the Kingdom Union, so that he could make today's progress. It is difficult for the Red Mountain Kingdom to overtake in corners, let alone our little barony. ”

"Really?" Eath didn't seem to care at all about the difficulties.

"It's the same thing if you ask a madman. Jiao Ming's tone was slightly dissatisfied. "This kind of precision is no longer to the extent that earth magicians can adjust condensates by relying on the naked eye and feeling. ”

"Of course, you'll have to give it a try. Yi Si turned his head and smiled slightly, but he didn't know whether this was for the first half of the sentence or the second half of the sentence, or both.

Jiao Ming just wanted to persuade a few more words, and a voice sounded in his heart.

... Don't try in vain, you can't fool this woman...

... What do you mean?...

Hearing the words of the silent person's personality, the normal personality Jiao Ming felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart.

... You don't want to give the Red Mountain Kingdom gunsmithing technology. As for the reason, it was either expected or influenced by this war simulation...

The production of weapons has made the normal personality Jiao Ming fall into complete confusion, and helping it to produce will inevitably cause a new round of foreign wars in the Red Mountain Kingdom. If it is not helped to produce, then the weapons will be backward and passively beaten, and it will also be a war. Between beating and beating, how many lives that have passed should be counted on one's head. The only way out seems to be to maintain a fragile stalemate balance and maintain the current status quo of border friction, but how easy is it to talk about? How can He De grasp such a scale and control the progress of weapon research in the Red Mountain Kingdom to be on par with the speed of the Tro Leader's generation.

After a moment of silence, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, admitted dejectedly.

... I can't hide it from you, in the end, I'm just using 'don't interfere' to escape. But you came out of nowhere, didn't you persuade me to tell the truth to Ith?...

... Your evasion strategy is as good as ever, and it doesn't surprise me. And I want to persuade you to set up the arsenal with Yisi...

... What do you mean?...

... Literally. On the night when the reformist aristocracy celebrated the opening of the newspaper, I said that I wanted to cooperate with you, that is, the Arsenal. I thought that the problem of money was enough to force them to give in, but I didn't expect that they could resist it, so they had to choose the temptation of new weapons. Waiting for a defeat, and expecting you or Yisi to think of this path, but I didn't expect you two fools to drag on so far...

For a kingdom, money can tighten its belt, or even tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, there is always a way to cope with the past. It is indeed difficult to weigh the opening of factories for them and cause unpredictable changes in the country, and the conservative strategy can only acquiesce to the trial of some nobles. However, weapons must keep up with the trend of the times. It's as if the number of powerhouses at the level of the Nine Rings and above, one more or less will make the kingdom implement different foreign policies.

... As I said, I don't want to get involved in this. If you have to run an arsenal, you will snatch control of your body and do things yourself...

... Teach you how to close your mind?...

... Well?...

... The conditions under which you are hired to run the Arsenal. You know the nature of a madman, and it affects you, and it affects me. Haven't you thought about how I managed to do it after the madman's personality disappeared for so long?

For example, at the beginning of his sobriety, why didn't the madman personality come out to make trouble. Another example is the first winter when you died in the northern castle of the Ice Lotus Family, the mess of epidemics and mental damage, how did I let the madman personality replace you at the cost of sleep, stimulate the power of water magic, and let us survive. Another example is how you were trapped in that two-bedroom mental environment last year...

The normal personality Jiao Ming's heart trembled, recalling the past, the facts were irrefutable, and then he remembered the two things that the madman personality deliberately avoided when he claimed to be a certain system, qi magic and small poems.

... What is the solution? It has something to do with qi magic, or maybe it has something to do with poetry?...

... Do you agree?...

... No, no, let me think again...

Normal personality Jiao Ming hesitated, no matter how effective this method is, it is a kind of selfish interest, sacrificing the lives of countless people in the Red Mountain Kingdom and the surrounding forces for it, after such a deal is made, how can the conscience be at ease?

... Just like what you said to Yisi, good words can't convince damn ghosts, there has always been friction between the Red Mountain Kingdom and the surrounding forces, and it has become a habit to fight back and forth, and the arsenal we opened is just for them to change into new weapons. And whether you change to a new weapon or not, it is a death on the left and right, why do you have to force the lives of these mortal people on your back?

Besides, you seem to be determined to forgive the woman Binglian, so you can't stand the existence of two beings watching the live broadcast in your mind. Learn this method, you and I will lock up the madman's personality together is simple and easy, and I will cooperate with you again to fall into a deep sleep for a short time. You'll get what you want...

Jiao Ming, a normal personality, only felt his chest thumping, understood that he was completely moved, took a few deep breaths to regain his composure, and swallowed the word 'agree' that he almost blurted out. And Jiao Ming's sudden silence and abnormal reaction at this moment were naturally noticed by the people around him, Yisi and Chunyu glanced at each other, tacitly did not say anything to disturb, and even waved his hand behind him, so that the chatting crowd quieted down.

... Would you be so kind? Obviously not. In other words, the Arsenal plan is so important to you, so important that you are willing to sacrifice some control...

... It's important, but I don't like to haggle and waste time, that's the highest price I can give, if you don't agree, I'll do something else...

During the meal, Er Hong and Yan Ming chatted very well, and Yan Ming learned a few words of Northeast dialect. Brother Dao and Ge Jian, who were also seeing each other for the first time, were much more silent, just eating with their heads bored. After eating, Erhong also stayed and became a five-person black shop. This time it was not a quick match, but a team ranking mode, and Yan Ming also gave a simple command. Only three games were played, losing in a row. Ge Jian clearly felt the pressure, and it was often because of his death that the team battle avoided or failed. At the beginning of the last game, Lu Degula suddenly typed and accused Yan Ming of being distracted, and actually prompted Yamaguchiyama's friend to go online. Yan Ming simply replied: That account was sold recently.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Erhong was the first to say that he wanted to go back to rest, and packed up the fast food box on the table. The black shop was closed.
