"So, what was the reason for him attacking me?" Dudian asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fulin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I remember, two years ago, the Milan family seemed to be preparing to marry the Bron family, I don't know if it's because of this incident?" ”

"Marriage?" Du Dian was slightly stunned, fell silent, and after a while, asked, "What is the result?" ”

"It didn't work out." Flynn shook his head, "That Miss Jenny of the Bloom family disagrees, and the Mel family may also be secretly intervening to prevent this marriage, after all, once the Milan family and the Broon family marry successfully, a greater force will be formed, and in the entire consortium, the most unfavorable influence is the Mel family, although the Mel and Broon families are world friends, but the grievances and grievances of the nobles are difficult to explain in a few words." ”

Du Dian glanced at him and said, "No wonder it was the Mel family and the Milan family who came to dismantle the stage today, the young lady of the Mel family, at a young age, does not look as simple and ignorant as she looks." ”

Fulin smiled slightly and said, "No matter how cunning the little fox is, he will eventually lose in experience." ”

Dudian nodded in acknowledgment, this is the truth.

"It's just that today you humiliated the Milan family in front of you, and they won't give up." Fulin sighed lightly and said, "Although we have become independent from the Mellon consortium, we can endure it once in a while. ”

Du Dian said: "Some can endure, some don't deserve to let me endure, there is a word called self-inflicted humiliation, today's matter, the Milan family will not spread out, and there is no way to accuse me of committing the following crimes, offending the nobles, and will only secretly make trouble behind my back, but even if we are polite, since others are hostile, don't pray when others will attack." ”

Flynn glanced at him, and when he talked to Dudian he always had the delusion that he was not dealing with a boy of fifteen or sixteen, but of an adult in his thirties with a mature mind, and as cunning as a fox, which reminded him of some outstanding figures in history, most of whom in childhood showed some amazing talent in some way.

Perhaps, the talent of the young man in front of him will also become an outstanding figure in the future, but it is by no means positive.

"The Milan family cherishes face, and it is true that it will not be spread out." Fulin looked at Du Dian and said: "But there is no impermeable wall in the world, the news that you can easily defeat the intermediate knights, presumably will soon spread to the entire circle through the mouths of these people who came today, although you dare not report it in the newspaper, but you will also be famous in the circle, but being famous may not be a good thing." ”

Du Dian said: "The Mellon consortium should take measures immediately, no matter what, we must make money as soon as possible and lease a passage outside the wall of our own to cultivate our own hunters." ”

Fulin smiled bitterly: "This can only rely on you." ”

Du Dian nodded, thinking of the small workshop where he had everything ready, he got up and said goodbye: "I'll go back first." ”

……

……

Leaving Lane Castle, it was getting late and it was curfew time outside.

The flag of the Lane family was planted on Dudian's carriage, and the soldiers who encountered a curfew on the way were not stopped.

Back in the small workshop, Du Dian counted the materials he had prepared, confirmed that they were correct, and lay down on the cargo box in the workshop and fell asleep.

Next.

Dudian went to the slave market in the western part of the business district and spent twenty silver coins to select twenty slaves, most of whom were dark-skinned Blanc, able-bodied, ten men and ten women, aged between eighteen and twenty-five.

Most of the slaves sold were down-and-out aristocrats, bankrupt wealthy merchants, depressed knights, etc., who could not provide for too many slave servants and had to sell them on consignment.

At the time of the transfer of ownership in the slave market, Dudian did not transfer the ownership directly to his own name, but transferred it to the Lane family, and then took these slaves to the small workshop he rented to teach them simple production techniques, each of them only need to learn their own production environment, assembly line production.

Many of these slaves were intelligent, and Dudian selected a middle-aged man named Harrison, who had been the butler of a knightly family, to manage the workshop in his place.

Throughout the day, Dudian spent the time teaching the slaves in crafting and supervising their work.

In the evening, Dudian counted the finished goods, and there were less than a thousand boxes.

"The materials consumed are about two silver coins, and if these matches want to be sold quickly, they must be put on the market at a very low price, two copper coins per box, and a thousand boxes are twenty silver coins, and the ratio of income is ten to one." Du Di secretly calculated.

That's right, the first thing he made was matches.

Although in alchemy, matches are not like explosives, which are listed as forbidden arts, and the alchemy structure of matches is relatively simple, and can be made by the use and combination of basic materials such as yellow phosphorus and red phosphorus, but in this period when there is no electricity, matches can quickly replace fire sickles!

After all, the ignition efficiency of the scythe is slow and the weight is heavy, both of which will be defeated by the advantages of matches.

Although matches are only a small item, they are consumables, which means that there is always a need, and when the status of the fire sickle is covered, the money earned will never be inferior to other valuables.

"Twenty silver coins a day is still too slow, only two gold coins in ten days." Du Dian thought about the previous production process, the work efficiency of twenty slaves was very fast, the reason why only a thousand boxes were made, except for the initial production was not very skilled, the process of cutting matchsticks took the most time, and the whole ten slaves cut matchsticks, but they could not keep up with the speed of others making firewood and cardboard boxes.

"Wait until you build a match-cutting machine." Du Dian thought for a moment, "It's just that the emergence of machinery will inevitably be perceived by people, and then large-scale research and development, and other consortia can rely on their strong financial resources and channels to make themselves, the inventor, unable to find any market, and can only starve to death." ”

"In that case, it's better to pioneer the steam age yourself." Du Di'an's eyes were secretly determined, if others copied his product, he would let others copy the speed, and he couldn't catch up with the speed of his invention!

After renting a few dilapidated houses for the slaves, Dudian returned overnight and set sail for Lane Castle.

The carriage had just entered the town of Yard when suddenly, the horses pulling in front of it roared in a panic, swaying the carriage from side to side. The coachman, fearing that he would disturb Dudian, hurriedly whipped his whip angrily and shouted loudly.

Dudian came to his senses, lifted the curtain and looked out, and there was nothing on the street in the dark night.

Dudian sniffed his nose, but he didn't smell anything strange, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and in vain, a chill rose up from his back without warning, and hurriedly rushed to the side. (To be continued.) )
