Chapter 352: Demon Forging Sword Five

"What if everyone else wants to get involved?" said Eath in an understated tone, but the content of his words was quite meaningful.

Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment, reversed his thoughts from explaining the pros and cons of the branch, and asked, "Those high-ring magicians who are watching the battle ......?"

"Why. Yisi's expression became vivid, as if he had been wronged by something. "From the time I came over, the first time I went back to Qingshui City, there was a little sister who wanted to take a stake in our factory. It's a pity that as soon as you said a few words, you put on a stinky face, and I thought you were resolutely against this kind of thing, so I didn't mention it again. I think you don't have that much aversion to shareholding cooperation. ”

Jiao Ming shouted wronged, "What I am disgusted with is that the unearned and the scammers who play the fund-raising game have opposed the cooperation of shares." Obviously, the wind suddenly tightened at that time......"

"It's all right. Yi Si interrupted with a wave of his hand, returning to the topic: "Among the high-ring magicians watching the battle this time, some of them did ask for shares, but our existing small factories are not worth it. ”

"Arsenal?"

Eth nodded, "And they did their homework." It is the entire industrial chain. Gunpowder, detonators, bullet factories, barrels, and even artillery factories. ”

"Artillery factory?"

"I blew it out. Anyway, it's the same principle, and in my opinion, the accuracy of the artillery is low, and the production process should be simpler. ”

Jiao Ming let out a long sigh, and once again really felt powerless. It is difficult to learn the good, but the thief who learns the bad is fast. After only looking at the drawings for a few days, Yisi already had a certain understanding of weapon manufacturing, and when he first operated the textile machine, he didn't have this speed at all. But the sigh is only for a moment, everyone is an adult, accusing these disciples of annoying people. "Shareholding is OK, two conditions. First, the decision-making power part must be clarified, especially in the early stage, and no one can point fingers indiscriminately. ”

"Absolutely. ”

"Second, the children of the family must be transferred into the factory according to the proportion of shares. Note that it's not the kind of idler, it's a front-line magical laborer. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's difficult. Eth was embarrassed. "To put it bluntly, the position of magical laborer is exactly the same as that of the craftsmen in the various workshops in Clear Water City, and the magic nobles must have resistance in their hearts. A small amount can be recruited for reasons such as inquiring for information and learning operations, and if a large number of them are long-term, it is almost possible. ”

The aristocratic classification, this time the shares are all martial arts factions.

Although Jiao Ming wanted to demean these magical nobles who were full of violence, he still swallowed back his stomach, and after a moment of silence, he decided to lower the conditions: "You don't have to be those 'promising' children, you just have a talent for magic, it doesn't matter if you have one ring or two rings, of course, the younger the better." By the way, I want a Shang Fang sword. ”

"Shang Fang's sword?"

"Beating, scolding, and dismissal are all in the agreement of the factory. It is easy to manage, after all, there are a lot of stinky problems among the children of the nobility, especially those who do not seek to improve. ”

"Absolutely. Yisi nodded, even a little happy. Such a request is completely to help many magical noble families 'clean up the portal', and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a good deed, after all, this kind of unscrupulous descendants will have a headache for anyone. The poor strength also evades cultivation, and pulling to the battlefield is to send to death (the first and second rings will be five or six rings in an instant, and it makes little sense to enter the battlefield), and it is embarrassing to be sent to the craftsman area, so you can only keep it at home and do some chores - almost eating rice. This time, many families were 'forced' to send people over, and no one had to laugh at anyone.

Jiao Ming only knew a little about this group of people, and he didn't understand the difficulties of the patriarch of the big family, so he only thought it was a win-win situation, and then said: "Finally, there is a problem, that is, the source of metal materials. The original scale was shipped from the crocodile collar. However, if you eat a large share of capital in this way, you will inevitably expand the scale, and the demand for metals will increase, so you must find another way. ”

"How about we run our own ironworks?" asked Eth. The ironworks were also part of the Barony's construction plans, but due to the turbulent times, they were postponed indefinitely until after the construction of the infrastructure.

The ironworks are simple to build, but the excavation of metal ores is troublesome. It requires a gas mage to teleport up from under the wall of Siccuton, and the way to destroy Siccuton is to teleport a nine-ring water magic warrior to hold his breath and smash it, and then the silent person's personality will support the hole with the root system of magic vines. Then came the endless mining work of the air mages.

All of this has been clearly written in the industrialization plan, after all, the industrialization plan without the steel source as the opening support is a joke at all.

Although Yisi's idea of self-sufficiency is very much in line with Jiao Ming's appetite, he has to face one problem: the number of miners. Jiao Ming muttered the above content and asked directly: "How many hard-working and hard-working mid-ring qi magicians can you recruit?" Remind you, according to the experience of the crocodile collar and the tro collar, if the qi mages below the fourth ring have no auxiliary means, they are really useless. After all, it is at least ten kilometers away. ”

"What kind of auxiliary means, and what about the specific data?" can ask about the data, I have to say that Yisi is getting more and more difficult to fool.

"The specific data can be stolen from the Tro Collar, this thing is not very confidential. As for the auxiliaries, the Crocodile Collar forcibly binds magical vines, like the Burning Fir Tree. But you're an earth mage, so you know better than I do. This is equivalent to being mastered by someone, to put it mildly, if the crocodile leader cuts down the creeper of the scorching fidar, he will be a waste person directly. Jiao Ming paused, thinking of the other group of guys who had been drunk all day in the crocodile collar, both funny and speechless. "Then there is the drink of magic addiction potion, this method is only suitable for people with dual talents of qi and water. Needless to say, you should also know that the quantity and quality of the Central Qi Magicians are not mentioned. ”

Yi Si pondered for a moment and lowered his voice: "If you transfer a group of puppet magicians with qi system......"

"Don't say it. Jiao Ming immediately interrupted, "I don't want to know about the bad things in your Red Mountain Kingdom, and I don't want to cause trouble. You must know that there are many people here, the children of various families are okay, and there are civilian mages with the background of the craftsman area, and there are no secrecy measures at all. If you attract a messenger from the Wizards' Association, the gain outweighs the loss. ”

Of course, Yi Si knew this, so he had to sigh lightly, "The ironworks must be built, I will try my best to recruit gas magicians and miners, and the shortage of metal materials will be purchased from the crocodile collar first, and the rest will be in the alchemist line." ”

"Remember to avoid Evan's family. Jiao Ming reminded.

"Of course I know that, and I'll pretend to be someone else's agent. After all, in the past year, the McShaler family, to which Evan belongs, has become more and more influential in the alchemist lineage, and it is likely to ban us from sale. Eath paused, and agreed with Jiao Ming on the details of the hole in the wall of Sicodon.

"The key is the ability to hold your breath. You can directly ask the water magic warriors who are interested in taking this live, I remember that the crocodile duke above the nine rings took an hour and two back and forth to complete the goal. ”

Yi Si took out a pen and recorded these conditions one by one, and then put forward the request to return to Qingshui City tomorrow. Jiao Ming thought about it and told him to bring some fruit popsicles, although they were not worth a few dollars, they were expensive and novel, which could be regarded as an announcement and a souvenir. And with the expansion of production, it's time to go out of the territory and open up the market.

The next development plan was agreed, and in the following days, Jiao Ming and Yisi were like the center of the spinning top, seemingly motionless, but spinning at high speed.

First of all, the baron's family who took the initiative to post it, after getting Yisi's reply, the head of the family came in person the next day. During the usual greeting ceremony, the forty-year-old head of the Qi Six-Ring Magician family had a sneer, and Jiao Ming almost thought that this guy had cramps in his cheeks. Then he said that everything is easy to say, he completely trusts Jiao Ming and Yisi's character, and he doesn't need any protection, and he can use him to save face. Jiao Ming was too lazy to distinguish whether this was a small means of negotiation, and he didn't have time to grind, so he directly threw out the plan of the original fruit processing branch, and then quickly and happily reached a consensus and signed the agreement.

Then the three reformist aristocrats, who had played the craziest part of the game and suffered huge losses in the posting incident, finally wrote back, saying that they were willing to accept the terms of the settlement, but the concrete impermeable additive formula must be free. Yisi asked how to reply, and Jiao Ming only said four words: let them go.

At the same time, in the two simulated wars before and after, Yi Si came from the family of the high-ring magicians, nominally experienced the factory management, but in fact the magician's children who worked at half the price finally arrived. Assign dormitories, adjust teams, unify labor clothes, and of course, there is the indispensable dismount, this set of Jiao Ming once again experienced what it means to be a martial arts nobleman, the spirit is indeed different, and there are many thorns.

With the initial production of the core machinery of the arsenal: rifling machine and steel pipe rounder, the manufacture of firearms officially began. I have to emphasize that Jiao Ming and Emily also played the role of two lathes, otherwise so many iron lumps really couldn't be made quickly. However, the quality is difficult to guarantee, and the first batch of ten-shot rifled guns produced by the new machine are all defective products with the technical standards set by the trolley. Of course, if the requirements are relaxed, it is still possible to make use of it, at least the shooting accuracy is still a notch higher than that of the smoothbore gun.

Of course, such an achievement is enough for the nobles of the martial arts faction to take practical action. Not only was the 'stake' material quickly raised, but the members of the Low-Ring family, who were magical laborers, also went straight to the riverbank construction site with Eth's fleet. Jiao Ming looked at this group of guys who could only be described by the word 'goods', and confirmed with Yi Si beside him: "How about Shang Fang's sword?"

"Don't worry, the patriarchs of the family are under my run, and the standard is 'don't just kill them all'. Of course, don't really believe it, if someone dies, it will still make trouble. Eth explained with a smile, an expression of waiting for the show.

Jiao Ming stretched out his thumb and shouted at the group of people, 'Get off the boat and line up', to no avail, shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the long-awaited crocodile leader magic warrior led by Chunyu, and suddenly a tragic wail sounded.

But then, Jiao Ming couldn't laugh anymore. A familiar smell entered the nose, and although it was extremely light, it still made it shiver: the original puree of the green mist elixir.

Following the taste, Jiao Ming rushed onto the boat in three steps and two steps, and sure enough, he saw a side-turned rattan suitcase, and a glass bottle among the clothes scattered all over the ground. Although its owner had tightened the cork, a small puddle of liquid on the deck had exposed everything. How could Jiao Ming be polite, stepped forward and snatched the confirmation, and by the way, trampled under the feet of this young man who was screaming with a hideous face and reaching out in vain to retrieve the glass bottle.

"What's wrong?" asked Iss, who chased after her.

"Look at this. Jiao Ming had a cold face, staring at the person under his feet viciously, and judging from the strength of his struggle, he was at least a second-ring water magic warrior.

Yi Si was still a little stunned, and when he opened the cork and sniffed, he saw the young man's performance again, and suddenly gasped: "Green mist potion." ”

"I remember when the tour group came back, the king ordered a ban. Jiao Ming asked with a frown.

"To correct it, it is only a clear hint and does not form a decree. And how can this thing be completely banned?" Yi Si smiled bitterly, looked around and looked in the direction of Clear Water City, and continued: "Let's think about how to deal with the current problem. ”

"You don't need to ask, just help him quit. Jiao Ming put a little more force on his feet, and the thing couldn't care about scratching, so he could only grab Jiao Ming's ankles hard and lift them up to get room to breathe.

"You don't think there's only one bottle in so many suitcases around, do you? We were negligent. ”

Jiao Ming was stunned in an instant, and his whole body trembled again. And with the slight sound of rib fractures, Jiao Ming fainted in pain under his feet, fortunately it was a water-based magic warrior, and the other three systems were afraid that they had already died.

At about half past twelve, Yan Ming and Ge Jian were lying side by side on the double spring mattress, the perspective of the ground was not used to it, and the coolness brought by washing was just right for chatting a few words.

"How much do you think this house costs?"

"Hell knows. Yan Ming replied quickly, but obviously didn't want to delve into this issue. "Don't mention money to me, my head hurts. Anyway, we're also in the same bed, so let's talk about it. ”

"Don't use such a disgusting statement. The leather sword moved his body outward, but because of the elasticity of the spring, Yan Ming, who did not move, was jolted a few points over.

"Do you think it's better to deliver food? or do live broadcasts?"

"What?" Leek Jian didn't follow the train of thought.

"If the studio hadn't been chosen. Yan Ming's voice carried a slight trembling, which was the fear of failure and the confusion about the future. "The live broadcast was suggested by Dracula Jr., saying that I was 'bright and smooth'. Takeaway delivery is what I watched Brother Erhong do well, and he was able to make a living directly. ”

"I don't know about the live broadcast, but if you deliver takeaways, ......" Ge Jian paused, thinking with limited experience and life experience, "What will I do in the future? This life is inseparable from the big city, but it is not enough to get married and have children in the big city." ”

Yan Ming smiled when he heard this, "Haha, getting married and having children, so far." ”

"Far away?"

"Far from it. ”

In the dead of night, several cars drove past the avenue outside the window, the bright lights shining through the curtains on the ceiling, and then sliding quickly until the side wall disappeared.

"You can go far away, sleep. ”
