After receiving the information from Keno, the crocodile leader's negotiation strategy changed that day, using more cement production as a bargaining chip in exchange for a higher price and delaying the time for the ice lotus to go south. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info This kind of negotiation conditions naturally went along with Kino's wishes, and this product even broke the news of the top boss of the headquarters of the Magician Association who was in charge of this matter, in order to help Bing Lian's mother and daughter master the rhythm of the negotiation.

"A little seven-ring magician actually climbed on top of Lao Tzu's head to and pee, isn't it just a good father...... "Negotiation leisure, this is Kino's common opening remark about his boss. The Binglian mother and daughter were naturally able to maintain an elegant aristocratic smile and filter through these nonsense, but Jiao Ming was emotional, just this stinky mouth, no wonder it was unpleasant.

In Keno's absence, Binglian and Jiao Ming discussed the upgrade plan of the cement production line together, and the biggest improvement was the design of the electric heating long cavity. In the original cement production, the fire mages were divided into two groups, one was responsible for increasing the heat released by the burning of firewood, and the other was responsible for completing the transformation of cement. The last time Xu Qin people increased the amount of purchases, it was just to use steel equipment to make this set of procedures more compact and reasonable.

This time, in the face of the order of the Magician Association, the original method can no longer be satisfied, so Jiao Ming plans to use more people to generate electricity, and use electric heat instead of firewood to burn and heat, so that not only can more people participate in production, but also use the precious fire magician on the blade.

But the problem encountered is the heating wire, the high-efficiency heating wire of the electric furnace on the earth is not a simple copper and iron, but a complex ferroalloy. Not to mention that the recipe is not known at all, and there is no way to mix the metals in small amounts, and there is no method of mixing. So in the end, this heating wire can only fall on the enchantment of Old Man Thoreau, after all, the filament is made, and the heating wire should not be difficult.

After communicating with Thoreau in Nagato Town via text message, the other party seemed to be very confident, and at the same time euphemistically said that he asked the two of them to return quickly and continue the recording of chemistry class.

After temporarily negotiating the production increase plan, the two talked about the exchange conditions of cement. Similar to the trade of countries on Earth, the currencies of countries are just a formality, and they are still bartered in nature. In a world where money has not yet developed, bartering is the norm. In addition to the magic addiction potions, enchanted armor weapons and more places for international students that had been agreed, the two also wanted to add some physical objects to the 'Huimin Project', but they were not sure to convince Ms. Ziyu and other high-level officials.

The policy that the two of them tried in a small area in the northern castle was not kept secret, and the crocodile leader magic warriors were a society of acquaintances, so it was inevitable that there would be talk of this 'maverick' lord heir at the autumn harvest celebrations, and the iron brought by the ironworks was good, and the new houses and entertainment centers were also good. However, for the recent 'benefiting the people' policy, most people are shaking their heads, and a small number of people are waiting and waiting for the young lord to create another miracle, and a few days ago, the news that only half of the tax grain came out, and a small number of people who are optimistic about the ice lotus are also silent.

So when Binglian wants to exchange cement for 'Huimin' goods, such as winter clothes, etc., if a small amount is given to the coolies, the lords can still reluctantly agree, and if they trade with the people at parity or even at a loss, they will never be willing. After all, the cement trade is huge, and the clothes exchanged for are not something that can be digested by the northern castle manor alone, and the lords have no intention of participating in this 'funny' general plan to benefit the people.

In fact, if the lords wanted to participate, Ice Lotus would most likely agree, but Jiao Ming would do his best to stop it. This set of imitation of the production team's gameplay requires a large number of grassroots organization personnel, otherwise it will only be a bad thing, just like Wang Anshi's change of law in history, no matter how good the policy is, it will become unrecognizable after being whitewashed by layers of bureaucrats and the yang and yin of the officials. This is not to say that all the middle-level bureaucrats and officials of the Great Song Dynasty were evildoers, but that the entire system has not yet reached the level of command, and it does not match such an idealized policy at all, as if people who are not connected to the meridians forcibly practice martial arts, and it is natural for people to practice and abolish them.

In fact, counting the coherence of Wang Anshi's reforms, many contents have been achieved naturally in the 21st century without the need for Zhong Guo to implement them with great effort, which is the reason.

Therefore, Jiao Ming is not optimistic about the 'Huimin' policy and directly copied it to other territories, and there are no low-level managers who are familiar with the policy.

Since he expected the resistance and was not sure to pass, Jiao Ming proposed a curve plan and suggested: "You can't directly change civilian goods, so how about changing production equipment?"

The loom painted by Old Man Thoreau has been made and put into production, but there are many problems, and the old man only painted it with the memory of his youth, which is not only outdated in technology, but also has a more troublesome problem: inefficiency. It is barely enough to make some linen clothes for the old door panels and other coolies to keep out the cold, let alone meet the needs of the lords. Therefore, the old loom was made more for the practice of lathes for the people of the Magic Research Institute, and the actual weaving function was weakened.

"There's no essential difference. Binglian was puzzled.

"Of course, we can say to people that these things can be exported and made money. ”

"How can civilian goods make money" Binglian interrupted with a frown, and said: "Not to mention the meager purchasing power of ordinary people, excluding freight and tariffs, how can these civilian goods compete with local goods in the south, and if they are transported to backward areas, what benefits can they have?"

Speaking of this, Bing Lian saw Jiao Ming's calm expression, sighed lightly, and continued: "Are you trying to deceive them?"

Jiao Ming thought of the idea of Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkly Chen Cang, and explained: "The chance of making money in the short term with this investment is slim, but when all kinds of workshops are established, they can't be demolished, so they have to settle for the next best thing and sell it to the people to make a little money." ”

"Is there any other way?" Bing Lian said with a bitter face, "It's uncomfortable when you stare at you, it's so easy for you and me to earn this prestige? ”

Jiao Ming smiled and said: "Take a long-term view, when the people develop, the role of these workshops will eventually be taken seriously, and you are just suffering some grievances temporarily." ”

After persuading Binglian, the two formed an alliance and began to fool other decision-makers, first Ms. Ziyu, and then used the communication network to discuss with a few old men and ladies left behind in Changteng Town. Judging from the few words of the code translation, these people gave cautious support, and at the same time reserved the right to settle the ledger after the fact.

Then came the negotiation with the Magician Association, proposing the exchange of weaving, papermaking and other life-related technologies, as well as cotton and linen seeds, various legumes and vegetable seeds, fruit seeds, improved breeds of sheep and cows, and the corresponding planters, the other party was obviously confused by the strange conditions of the crocodile collar again, and even Keno looked at the crocodile collar with a puzzled face.

Then the communication device flickered, and Keno operated it before it returned to normal, and then smiled and said to the crocodile leader: "You guys are really good at surprises, and the headquarters thought that the communication device was on the table." ”

"Is our request strange?"

Keno hesitated for a moment, then explained, "Actually, it's okay to contact the kingdoms for these things. The implication is to visit the wrong temple gate, but as a negotiator for a business, it is not the job of a qualified seller to tell a trade partner to go next door. It is also rare for Keno to put aside his position and think about the crocodile leader once.

"We believe that the Wizards' Guild will give us the best. Binglian complimented.

"That's nature. ”

After confirming that the communication device was working properly, and that the strange requests were indeed from the Crocodile Collar, the Wizards' Guild quickly agreed. The Sorcerers' Guild, as the de facto ruler of the united kingdoms, has its own proud side, and in its opinion, these trivial facts raised by the Crocodile Leader are not on the table, but they save other, more expensive rewards, so why not.

Signing the paperwork, Kino warmly invites the Crocodile Leader to celebrate the feast in the hall of the Mage Tower tonight, and everyone readily agrees. When they went out at night, Jiao Ming and Binglian, who were also dressed in aristocratic dresses, looked at each other and smiled, Jiao Ming didn't know Binglian's thoughts, but he remembered the couple's outfit.

When he arrived at the hall of the Mage Tower, Jiao Ming found that the number of people involved was only a handful, only a dozen people. And the form of the banquet is not the expected European-style aristocratic cocktail party, but more like Zhong Guo's own style of banqueting relatives and friends. Jiao Ming didn't ask much, so as not to show timidity, just observed the situation, and then was quickly attracted by the huge chandelier floating overhead.

Until he was led to sit down, Jiao Ming still looked up at the suspended chandelier, and then was stomped by the ice lotus.

Jiao Ming knew that he was rude, and he didn't defend himself, so he sat down with his head down. Soon Kino and Lady Purple Feather briefly spoke a few words and announced the start of the banquet, and the servants of the Mage Tower served the same food, while everyone chatted enthusiastically,

Only then did Jiao Ming find that more than a dozen people were sitting at two tables, and at the main table were Kino and Semeer, the old magician who presided over the guidance of children's day earth magic, the ice lotus mother and daughter, and Jiao Ming. At the table next to him were Kino's two servants, the bodyguard siblings and Blossom, and the two chaperones of the Mage Tower.

After the dishes were served, there were no more clichés, and everyone raised their glasses to drink once and ate them. And Jiao Ming feasted for the first time after crossing over, these dishes were actually on par with the level of Zhongguo Hotel, and he was curious to ask about the food and seasonings of Semier around him, but he was surprised to learn that these things were actually transmitted from the entire kingdom. And only a few simple dishes are made by the chefs of the Mage Tower in Sardinia City, and many more are actually finished products.

Jiao Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then muttered, "Your food delivery industry is overdeveloped, right?"

"The eight-ring magician feasted the duke's heir, although this configuration is a little extravagant, but considering that Master Kino is a qi magician, and the popularity of the young lord of the ice lotus, this is also average. Sémille said, and continued to eat elegantly and quickly, obviously such a banquet was rare for Sémille.

In terms of the cuisine and atmosphere, it was a successful banquet. The only thing that made Jiao Ming unhappy was that in the later stages of the banquet, after drinking a few rounds of magic addiction potions, Keno, an old pervert, actually offered to exchange maids. Jiao Ming naturally refused sternly, although after refusing, he glanced at the blonde maid with an explosive body a few times.

Next is all kinds of preparations, Keno closed the door to build a permanent space teleportation magic array, Jiao Ming wanted to steal both hands, but unsurprisingly found that these masters are not as good as Semier, and they are strictly guarded against their housekeeping skills. In desperation, I had to go back to Changteng Town with Binglian to start designing and building a new electric cement production line.

At the same time, under the eager gaze of Old Man Thoreau, the video tutorial of the intermediate chemistry class was recorded, and the old man stayed in his room with the streaming machine, and once again entered the state of 'ignoring people'. The 600 people who had been educated in mathematics, chemistry and medicine also had their fateful exams, and this time they were well prepared, buying a sufficient amount of paper from the city of Sardinia and printing it in iron.

In order to give the grades a sense of hierarchy, Jiao Ming, who is the author of the questions in elementary chemistry and elementary mathematics, is not polite at all. When the sample scroll was handed over to Bing Lian, Bing Lian asked if it could be changed more easily, but Jiao Ming ruthlessly refused.

A few days later, the kidnapped doctor, who had been kidnapped, had a hundred apprentices, and almost fainted when he heard the news. And Bing Lian and Jiao Ming also directly transferred 200 people to the Magic Research Institute, and the news that more than 100 ordinary people were transferred to the Magic Research Institute became a hot topic in Changteng Town for a while.

Bing Lian and Jiao Ming didn't bother to listen to the specific questioning words outside, but they kept an eye on the inside of the Magic Research Institute, so as not to have some discordant incidents. When the electric cement production line was successfully tested, and the atmosphere of the Magic Research Institute was also harmonious, Jiao Ming had to rush back to the Northern Manor Castle with a large number of winter clothes to preside over the work of the production team.

When there were three light snows and one heavy snowfall, the "Huimin" plan finally had a reluctant result, under the temptation of winter clothes and lunch, ninety percent of the people finally obediently took the initiative to pay taxes, although the total amount of tax grain was only seventy percent of previous years, but considering the cost of tax collection in the old extensive tax law, the two have been equalized. And if you take into account the livestock shed built and the income from the sale of winter clothes, it is a big step forward.

At the same time, the permanent spatial teleportation magic array on the front line was also arranged, and Jiao Ming, who got the news of the activation, rushed to Sardinia City on a hammer overnight, and under the intercession of Semeer, he obtained the qualification to watch the opening process. However, it was a pity that Jiao Ming didn't see any dry goods, but once again realized how strong the sense of secrecy of these magicians was.

Judging from the appearance, this permanent spatial teleportation magic array is nothing more than a huge metal block placed at an angle, about thirty centimeters thick, one and a half meters long and wide, and placed at an angle of forty-five degrees. There is also a chute on the top to cooperate with the transportation, and a large pile of dirt and rubble is being fed into the metal plate as a test object, but nothing leaks out from under the metal plate, which is quite strange from the perspective of the earth.

After Semel communicated with Keno, who was far away on the front line, to confirm that the teleportation circle was functioning properly, a large amount of cement was dumped onto the chute and teleported into the distance in a faint smoke and dust.
