Chapter 191: Closing One
The banknotes are based on cardboard cards purchased from the city of Sardinia, and then interlaced with a black grease-like substance of Santelmoller and a colorless transparent substance of small poems as security guards. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info tentatively exchanges one copper coin for 100 denomination notes, and there is no official reverse exchange service at all.
Jiao Ming borrowed from the game currency model in video games, and slowly depreciated infinitely in the future, striving to let these magic warriors in the crocodile collar realize that these banknotes are actually waste paper as soon as possible, and get out of the pit as soon as possible.
Ice Lotus was still a little hesitant about the plan to depreciate the banknote, unsure if it would really make the magic warriors stop wasting time on these games.
"There's nothing more uncomfortable than watching your wealth shrink, and a little guidance from that mentality can make people want to give up. Jiao Ming and Binglian stood side by side in a corner of the entertainment center, looking at the magic warriors and the colorful lights under the starlight, and suddenly remembered the scene of wandering around the night market with his parents when he was a child. Then I remembered what my uncle had said, and translated it into the local dialect of the crocodile to Binglian: "How do you keep someone away from something? Gaming, marriage, and even the stock market can apply this principle. β
"I hope so. Binglian said lightly.
"Anyway, the advertisements for this electric light have been put out, but the big families haven't moved yet?" asked Jiao Ming. In fact, the application of the power supply system to the entertainment center this time is to take a few large orders, and if a few sets are sold, it will be considered some achievements, so that all the work released in the research and development process will become 'experience'.
And this set of generators and space transmission steel plate as the base of the lamp equipment is very suitable for those big families with castles, after accounting the cost of the price increase of 200%, the price is still very attractive, an eight-ring magic warrior can buy a set of about 30 days of hard work. Of course, hiring a gas magician to control the transmission steel plate is a different story.
"Be patient, don't worry, those people will come for you. Binglian looked confident. At this time, the crowd watching the battle sounded a burst of cheers, it seemed that a cross-level challenge broke out and was unpopular, Binglian looked at the noisy crowd, also laughed, and said: "This noodle looks like the autumn harvest celebration, but there is no flowing water seat." β
Jiao Ming slapped his forehead and secretly scolded himself for forgetting things, how could there be such a thing as a food stall in the night market. After informing Binglian, he rode a bull to the farm, woke up the old door board and a kind of coolie, drove the cattle to the corner of the entertainment center, set up a bonfire to kill cattle and cook chickens, sprinkled a little salt and began to sell. And Ice Lotus also brought some low-level magic addiction potions, which were paired with meat to have a better effect.
"Collect banknotes?" asked Binglian.
"Of course. Jiao Ming replied. "This is also a means of recouping, speaking of the currency of this thing is very knowledgeable, this paper money system is a good model, from this depreciation process to accumulate some experience is very helpful in the future management of the territory. β
"Wouldn't it be better to ask you directly?"
"But I don't know. Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders, then handed a roasted chicken leg to Binglian, and explained: "I only know a little about economics, the establishment and maintenance of the monetary system is quite complicated, and the two worlds are also different in terms of production models, so we can only explore it ourselves." β
While they were chatting, a small accident happened, a magic warrior mistakenly thought that the wine and meat were given away for free, so he injured a coolie who asked for money. Jiao Ming didn't have the heart to act as a virgin, so he quickly gathered the coolies who were scattered and solicited, and then set up a simple counter with Binglian, pulled up the light bulb to illuminate the faΓ§ade, and then used a wooden sign to clearly mark the price to avoid misunderstanding.
After finishing all this, Jiao Ming went to the back to visit the injured coolie. Fortunately, the coolie was only slapped in the face, although his cheeks were swollen and high, but he was not worried about his life, and when Jiao Ming heard the report just now, the scene of Ms. Ziyu's 'killing chickens and monkeys' flashed in his mind.
"Count it as a work injury, give him fifteen days off!" Jiao Ming instructed the old door board. The old door board nodded in agreement, promising to take care of this person, and then asked, "What about these pieces of paper?"
Jiao Ming pondered for a moment, and decided to hand over the full amount to the accounting office of the entertainment center, these coolies are not qualified to participate for the time being.
After arranging the food stalls, the two continued to wander around, as the general manager and nominal owner of the entertainment center, they naturally had to keep an eye on the first day. However, the operation of the entire entertainment center is quite stable and orderly, after all, in the eyes of most people, this is still the original fighting activity, just a little more tricks. Until late at night, when the crowd gradually dispersed, Jiao Ming cut off the space passage of the lamp holder, and went back to the house to sleep.
The next morning, Jiao Ming returned to this place, unsurprisingly to find that there was no light bulb left above his head. The accompanying Luo Hua and the bodyguard siblings were all dumbfounded, looking up at the empty lantern rope, as if they were toads catching the ball under the seismograph.
"Sir, how is this good?" Luo Hua looked anxious and asked, "Do you want to go to the police bureau to report the case?"
"Don't forget I'm a gas mage. Jiao Ming blinked as he spoke, making his pretty face flutter. Immediately after that, Jiao Ming opened his arms, closed his eyes to sense the small but familiar spatial fluctuations around him, and secretly said that he would come back to me. Those missing light bulbs appeared one after another on the land in front of Jiao Ming, and when the spell was cast and counted, it was a lot.
"How?" Jiao Ming asked Zimang behind him with a smile, in the process of casting the spell just now, he found that there was a light bulb in the arms of this thing, and he was so surprised just now.
"Excuse me, sir. Zimang smiled. Huang Xia naturally understood her younger brother, and had already guessed from this question and answer, and looked at Zimang with the same smile, and said: "But Mr. still has to think of another countermeasure, I'm afraid that tomorrow 'some people' will think of a way to block the teleportation." β
Zimang was so sarcastic, even more embarrassed, but he couldn't do it.
......
In the evening, next to the food stall, another stall selling portable lanterns was set up to meet everyone's demand for light.
But after waiting for a long time, there are many people who see it, and few people who buy it. Jiao Ming was very puzzled when he saw that everyone was very hesitant, and only after Luo Hua reminded him did he remember the hand he played in the morning, and quickly told everyone how to use blood enchantment to shield the teleportation, because the steel plate that transmits electricity is wrapped in a wooden base, so he is not worried about being affected. After listening to the explanation, the people were still skeptical, and only a few bold people paid the money to receive the goods, and the business opened.
Jiao Ming didn't expect a market test to be messed up, sighed that he was not the material for business, and then comforted himself with the reason that the production of light bulbs was limited and he sold slowly to reduce the pressure on production.
And when it was time for the end of the show, Jiao Ming no longer dared to hold it up, and took all the hanging light bulbs back to the warehouse, and let the security personnel of the entertainment center be on duty at night.
The power generation part of this lighting system is borne by the magic warriors, and a certain number of laps are promoted, but the power transmission part is supported by Jiao Ming alone, and it is not switched on and off by the person who bought the lantern himself, so it adopts a completely different after-sales service method from the earth.
The first is trade-in. In this materially poor world, every bit of metal is worth cherishing, so the filament and transmission steel plate in the old bulb still have the value of reheating.
The second is how to use it. Jiao Ming used the method of turning off the lights in the dormitory, giving power together after dark, and cutting off the power at the same time after late at night, which is also a way to do no way, after all, this complex system Jiao Ming can't do precise control, and can only turn it on and off. Fortunately, the crocodile leader has no experience with the earth's electricity, and there are no complaints.
The gradual rollout of this lighting system had three results: first, several large families soon began to negotiate for the introduction of work, and the first orders for generators and light bulbs were obtained. The second is the fire in Changteng Town, where a bear kid didn't know what to think, broke a light bulb and 'accidentally' lit the table with a filament, and the fire spread and burned down a row of wooden houses. By the way, the willingness of the small family who still lives in Changteng Town to buy a cement house is even higher. The third is that Old Man Thoreau can't sit still.
Light bulbs and space transmission and transmission are very bad streets in this world, and the old man Thoreau naturally doesn't care about it, but when he sees more and more light bulbs, so many that he finally mutters in his heart, the chemical energy conversion method used in the common energy pool cannot meet so many light bulbs.
Tempted to investigate, the father and daughter soon discovered the large human-driven disc in the corner of the entertainment center and concluded that it was the source of the electricity. Old Man Thoreau's every move naturally couldn't escape Bing Lian's eyes, and his interest in the generator was exposed between his demeanors, and at first Bing Lian was still chatting with Jiao Ming about this matter with great interest, and the declaration was absolutely ruthless. However, it backfired, and Vera's father and daughter seemed to be completely unconcerned about this after discovering the source of electricity, and stayed in the room processing filaments and machine tool heads, and there was nothing unusual about it.
After a few days of stalemate, Jiao Ming looked at the increasingly anxious Ice Lotus and asked, "Will the old man directly see through the principle of the generator?"
"Impossible!" Ice Lotus shook her head and asserted. "This generator relies entirely on what you call electromagnetic theory and does not involve any kind of magical medium. β
Jiao Ming shook his head helplessly, put down the new generation of shrunken power transmission steel plate in his hand, pulled the ice lotus and sat down beside him, twisted the ice lotus's frowning brows with his thumb, and said: "Don't worry about this thing, we have to focus on our own research and development, and that old man can do whatever he likes." He flattened his eyebrows and pulled the corners of his mouth again, "Come on, laugh." β
Binglian let Jiao Ming fiddle with it, and said in an out-of-tune voice: "Unwilling." You can also see the enchantment knowledge that came from the Shining Scales, and it is less powerful than our blood-drenched magic. And although there is an enchanter on our side, he can't pry his mouth open. β
"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, we are in a corner of the mainland, and we are developing slowly, so there is no need to worry. Jiao Ming persuaded. Bing Lian sighed, put the matter aside, and continued with the work at hand.
And after this barely unpleasant thing passed, there was a succession of good news.
The first piece of good news was that the team led by the old men who were too radical in the entertainment center had finally reached the front line, and with the help of this group of people, the communication network nodes based on creeper vines were established on the front line, and Jiao Ming's long-distance telephone service was only left on the side of the Shining Scales. Immediately after that, Jiao Ming began the next plan: material transmission, but after several attempts, all of them were disrupted and failed, and when he was wondering, the front line replied that the camp of the Crocodile Leader Magic Warrior had been searched by the Magician Association, citing unknown anomalous spatial fluctuations, and asked Jiao Ming if he had done anything.
Jiao Ming secretly said that the surprise was gone, so he had to inform the other party of his plan, and then the front line replied that he had completed the negotiation with the Magician Guild and had about an hour to try it every night.
The second good news was that the Xu Qin people suddenly asked if they could increase the cement trade, and after some discussion, everyone replied that they agreed, and at the same time, the three channels of Shining Scale, Se Mill and the front line secretly explored the reason why the Xu Qin people bought cement. The results were exciting, after the Xuqin people were unable to attack the Crocodile Collar due to the Magicians' Association, they changed the direction of their attack and attacked the Great Swamp of Hiyus to the east, preparing to build roads with cement to facilitate the transportation of materials. The information collected by the three channels is similar, so the credibility is quite high.
In the face of such good news, it is inevitable to increase cement production, and under the suggestion of Jiao Ming and Binglian, this increase in production did not adopt such a simple and crude way as increasing fire magicians and cement kilns, but put forward the concept of technological upgrading. After a few days of research, the two and a group of fire-based magicians specializing in burning cement jointly designed a new steel production line, which greatly improved thermal efficiency and material utilization, and achieved the goal of increasing production with the original number of magicians.
The trade of cement for livestock and grain has stepped onto a new level, and Jiao Ming did not expect that there would be an opportunity to harvest other people's agriculture with industry, and his mood was very complicated.
The last piece of good news is a little weirder. A marquis family who had purchased a small set of lighting equipment used a two-ring ploughing ox connected by a small poem magic to generate electricity, and as a result, the ploughing ox that was grinding in a circle actually rose to the third ring. After the news spread, it immediately set off an uproar and shocked all the crocodile collar magic warriors.
It's hard to say more about the impact, but many low-ring magic warriors who don't like to fight and neglect to practice their combat skills have been scolded by the elders in the family, and they don't know what they scolded, and then these people were driven to 'generate electricity'. And Xiaoshi is busy again, more people choose to connect the farming cow, how much work can a cow with the third or even fourth ring of the water system earn, who is not greedy.
The busy little poem began to get bored after a few days, pouting and ignoring Jiao Ming, but dangling in front of Jiao Ming's eyes. Jiao Ming was helpless, Wen Yan comforted, and took Xiaoshi out for a day, which calmed down his grievances, and then found that Xiaoshi had a little follower in addition to Toniche, and he was also an acquaintance, and it was actually Huang Xia's seven-year-old second son.
Then this little follower began to take over the magic connection work of Xiao Shi, and Jiao Ming and the others asked Master Mar in surprise and uneasiness.
"Don't panic, it's just a matter of recruiting a priest. Master Marr just glanced at the two children, left this sentence and continued to move the bricks. Jiao Ming became more and more aware of the weirdness of earth-based magic, which was too suitable for religion and human monopoly.
