Chapter 370: Vulture Three,
Everyone present gasped in unison, including the second master who was eating happily.
In fact, although the magic of the addictive drug and the earth-based soul connection is similar in appearance, there is still a big difference. The former can be slowly quit, but there is a high possibility of secondary addiction, after all, there is a lump feeling during the medication. The latter is not, or is willing to lose their magical ability to endure headaches and resist, once they are lucky enough to escape, there is no possibility of voluntarily entering the pit.
The reactions of the leaders made Jiao Ming more satisfied, and without waiting for Krumi to ask, he told the effect of the Qingwu Elixir one by one, and in the sincerity of cooperation, he did not hide the addiction dose. Hearing this number, the faces of everyone at the dinner table finally looked better, and Krumi smiled again, saying that he almost thought that someone was trying to harm him.
"Of course it's a pit, it's just that it's been planned for a long time. Jiao Ming's expression was still solemn, and he hesitated and asked: "If my brother has a channel for this strange elixir and a market that he doesn't know anything about, what will he do? ”
At the dinner table, some people don't know why, and some people can't laugh anymore.
"Look at your expression, do you want to come to the situation in the neighborhood, similar to the latter?"
"Exactly. Krumi nodded, then beckoned his subordinates to eat and drink, and then explained the details to Jiao Ming. However, it was a liquor shop in Split Sand City in the northeast, and the Qingwu Elixir appeared thirty days ago, and ten bottles were distributed for free every day, and then it was exchanged for food. And in a short period of time, the price of grain rose slightly, and the price of slaves fell.
Although Jiao Ming didn't pay attention to the price of slaves, he also felt that slaves seemed to be cheaper in the transaction just now, and it turned out that in addition to the discount, there were also factors in this regard. In addition, a small amount of green mist medicine can cause price fluctuations of commonly used equivalents, which can only indicate that the market in the chaotic place here is small and single, and the resistance of the economy is weak.
"Since this green mist potion is a harmful thing, don't provoke it. Having said that, Klumi didn't simply destroy the vial of green mist elixir, but he didn't know where to send it with a flip of his wrist, and after a few words of greeting, he pulled the topic back to the beginning, asking Jiao Ming what the so-called 'long-term benefits' were.
Although he didn't have much hope for a strong man who could gain a foothold in such a chaotic place as a Baili Hou, Jiao Ming still sighed secretly in his heart, and prayed that this product would not have the idea of selling Qingmist Elixir. However, seeing the eager eyes of the leaders at the dinner table, Jiao Ming still coughed lightly and raised his voice: "This transaction is only twenty guns and 100 bullets, don't you want to get more?"
"Of course, but we don't have anything to exchange here. A leader accosted.
"The so-called wealth is a vague feeling after many changes, and the public thinks of it as food, people, coins, metals, etc., but in fact, it is not, but in essence, it is human labor. And food is only the fruit of ordinary people's labor in the past, and slaves are the fruits of ordinary people's labor in the future. Why don't you, then, imagine what kind of wealth can be created by the work of magicians?"
This remark was impassioned, after all, it was memorized and practiced, but it is a pity that the actual situation is ignored. The leaders in the audience looked at each other, some of them did not understand some abstract lingua franca synthesized new words, some of them roughly guessed the meaning of the new words but did not know what they were completely aware of, and the rest probably understood what they needed to do as a group of magicians, and this kind of problem naturally depends on the attitude of the boss, looking at Klumi and bringing the rest together.
Krumi rolled his eyes, "Please also ask the little brother to have something to say." ”
"I wonder if you're interested in opening a magic factory?" Jiao Ming glanced at everyone and smiled. "Then trade the goods of the magic factory for guns, food, household appliances and even other goods. ”
"Of course it's good. I just don't know what's the difference between a magic factory and those workshops?"
"That's a good question, my brother really understands people. Jiao Ming praised it, and then explained: "There are many differences between factories and workshops, and the more significant ones are the output and the degree of division of labor. Of course, it is also possible to understand the factory as a large workshop for the time being. ”
"So since it's a workshop, we have no raw materials, no family technology, and no sales channels, I don't know what the little brother has in these aspects?"
"It's simple, it's all up to us. ”
In other cases, it is natural to ask, 'You can find anyone for such a good thing, why did you find us?', but under the premise of surrendering and negotiating peace, this question does not exist.
Krumi pondered for a moment and asked, "How exactly do you transport raw materials and finished products, qi magic, and how can you guarantee delivery of such a long-term one-line transaction, if you suddenly refuse to trade one day, wouldn't we be busy in vain?" ”
Chunyu and the others didn't think of this question, which immediately caught Jiao Ming off guard, but he was also impressed by Klumi, and at the same time guessed that Krumi was from a workshop family in the United Kingdom. It's hard to imagine that someone who knows nothing about this can think of these things quickly.
"We can also negotiate what kind of magic factory it is, so that its production will be in general demand, and even if the trade routes between us are cut off, we will not have to worry about sales. The more Jiao Ming spoke, the clearer his thoughts became, and finally smiled: "For example, how about cement?"
This thing even saves the trouble of transporting raw materials, as long as it is explored nearby, and it has a wide applicability, and it can be sold to surrounding forces if there is an accident.
"What is cement?" asked one of the leaders, and a few others were also confused.
"Fire magic turns mud into the core extract of stone. Jiao Ming thought about it for a while, and felt that this statement was the most convenient for Tubaozi to understand, and then brought up transportation, and the method used was naturally that Krumi himself cooperated with the vine array.
When it comes to himself, of course, Krumi attaches great importance to it, and asks about something like the vine circle that he has never heard of, and frowns: "Is it necessary to set up near or even inside this fortress? I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
The safety problem is what everyone is worried about, and the strong people who live in this chaotic place naturally tighten this string even more, and install an auxiliary teleportation device with the function of transmitting magic marks in their own homes, especially since the other party is still a force within the Red Mountain Kingdom, how can they sleep peacefully in the future? There is nothing to grab in the poor countryside here, but what should I do if I am caught as a magic puppet? However, this kind of show of weakness is not easy to declare, so I can only be silent.
Jiao Ming didn't understand this thought for a while, after all, many forces in the past were supportive of the vine array, and this thing is equivalent to the highway of the earth, the famous saying is good: If you want to get rich first build a road, build a highway to your doorstep, what else is not satisfied?
The two discussed this for a few words, and only got a transfer station to set up a warehouse at a safe enough distance from the walled fort to transport it in two sections. Jiao Ming was noncommittal about this kind of caution, but he was worried about whether Krumi could afford it, but Krumi smiled helplessly, to the effect that he had to eat if he couldn't bear it.
The matter was settled, and the two sides agreed on some details, and Jiao Ming left the fortress with the surrender document before the madman woke up. Teleported back to his camp's tent, and found that only Spring Rain and the Qi Seven-Ring Magician who was familiar with the lingua franca were waiting here.
"Did it go well?"
"Of course it's going well!" Jiao Ming handed over the surrender document, briefly explained the process, and finally asked, "What about your side?"
"Of course, no problem, after all, this raid is just like that. "Chunyu has read the surrender letter, although there are as many flaws as a sieve, but it is enough to fool through the test under the premise that no one investigates deeply.
"And when will the troops be withdrawn?"
"The plan is for tomorrow morning. The Seven Rings replied, adding that the attacks for tonight and tomorrow morning had been canceled, and that the mines on the periphery had been recovered.
Jiao Ming thanked him, and Qi Qi nodded and got up to leave, after he left, Jiao Ming always felt that the attitude of several people in the Red Mountain Kingdom was a little strange, and asked Chunyu: "Although I can trust you, I still confirm it, how did you convince everyone?"
"After a few words, I didn't talk about it. I suggested practicing my hands, and they contacted Is, and then you were the Supreme Commander here. ”
Jiao Ming was speechless and didn't dare to say anything about this solution, so as not to be treated the same, so he could only confirm the reaction of several magicians in the Red Mountain Kingdom, "Pick a child?"
"Almost. ”
With a wry smile, Jiao Ming slapped his forehead again, "So, you just asked for my consent to withdraw the army tomorrow morning?"
"Probably. "Chunyu stretched his waist and waited with the person who had just almost done it, which was obviously not a pleasant experience.
"So how about I withdraw tonight?"
"I can understand that you are worried about the madman, but when you get the hat of the Supreme Commander, you really think that everyone listens to you?" Chunyu asked angrily, stood up and took down the magic lamp from the top of the tent, pulled Jiao Ming and walked out, "I will work with the soldiers to fight with the madman until he is tired and paralyzed, don't worry." But now come with me to a wrap-up meeting. ”
Jiao Ming was stumbled and asked, "Didn't you just open in the afternoon?"
"That's the 'Fight for Merit' summary meeting, this is the combat experience summary meeting, it is written in the soldier's drill book, to be honest, the book is very good, and you should turn it over if you resist it. ”
As they spoke, they came to a smaller tent, in which a dozen people were already waiting, crowded like canned sardines, and it would be uncomfortable if it weren't for the cool night. With the light of the magic lamp, Jiao Ming found that the attendees were all black-haired and yellow-skinned, or the crocodile leading warriors in the third row, and couldn't help but ask Chunyu for advice.
"The summary meeting of the first row and the second platoon will be presided over by the respective platoon commanders themselves. As for the results, whether the summary report can pass the test, just wait for Yisi to worry about it himself. ”
Jiao Ming sighed lightly, and did not talk nonsense about this, and listened to the summary meeting. The first is to report on the various problems encountered in the First World War during the day, such as jamming guns, explosive chambers, crosshair waste, duds, etc., which have appeared for a long time, have not disappeared, but considering the poor actual situation of the arsenal, they can only endure it.
In addition, firearms are very powerless against the magicians of the sixth or even the fifth ring, especially the gas magicians, and there are even cases where the bullets are transmitted back. As a qi magician, Jiao Ming certainly understands arrow protection magic, and knows that random teleportation is the most effort-saving, and if you want to accurately teleport bullets, it is not so easy, so you need to ask for details. And the squad leader who participated in 'Hide and Seek in the Rice Field' couldn't tell whether this situation was a coincidence or an intentional act of the enemy.
"This is important. Chunyu instructed the clerk who was struggling to write under the magic lamp, and continued: "After deciding on firearms, it will definitely be popular, I believe that there will be a qi magician who will develop this kind of direct anti-injury magic in the near future, and we must also find ways to prevent it in advance." ”
Jiao Ming vaguely remembered the animated cat and mouse he had seen when he was a child, to the effect that he used the musical instrument trumpet as a weapon, collected the bullets fired at the mouth of the voice, and fought back with the mouth of the mouth. If it is simulated with qi magic, it seems to be really feasible, but the cost is probably not small.
The firearms part passed, and the next thing was the summary of the bayonet hand-to-hand combat experience, with Chunyu's encouragement, and even slowly gestured in the tent, Jiao Ming quickly lost interest, and asked Chunyu quietly: "How about talking about the covert march?"
Chunyu rolled her eyes, "You don't need to hide when you go back, what else to discuss." ”
"But next time. ”
"If you don't take care of you and can't see the dead, who will bother to be idle next time?"
Jiao Ming was choked, entangled for a moment, and said helplessly: "Even if you still kill people, this covert march is necessary, how about using it as a kind of reconnaissance technique?"
"Spies?"
"You can call it that, too. For example, in this raid, if there are spies who have been lurking thousands of meters away for a long time and are observing with telescopes every day, they can get more and more detailed information. For example, in terms of the right to speak, the seven rings of the qi system completely suppress the seven rings of the water system, and then speculate that the strength should be on it. ”
"You have a point. Chunyu nodded, interrupting everyone to lead the topic over. Everyone was not interested in this aspect, but under the staring of Chunyu, they still discussed it obediently. It's a pity that there is no bright way to do it, just a slight improvement on the original basis.
Jiao Ming listened for a while, felt that his consciousness was gradually drowsy, understood that the time for the handover was up, pointed to Chunyu's head, and said hello to the madman personality who woke up, and fell into unconsciousness.
In addition, firearms are very powerless against the magicians of the sixth or even the fifth ring, especially the gas magicians, and there are even cases where the bullets are transmitted back. As a qi magician, Jiao Ming certainly understands arrow protection magic, and knows that random teleportation is the most effort-saving, and if you want to accurately teleport bullets, it is not so easy, so you need to ask for details. And the squad leader who participated in 'Hide and Seek in the Rice Field' couldn't tell whether this situation was a coincidence or an intentional act of the enemy.
"This is important. Chunyu instructed the clerk who was struggling to write under the magic lamp, and continued: "It is inevitable to decide on firearms in the future."
