Chapter 201: The Arms Business
After talking about the reward, it's time to get down to business.
Looking at the eager expression on Flynn's face, Jiang Feng had already guessed most of what he was going to say next.
He smiled faintly, and before Flynn could speak, Jiang Feng spoke.
"I will let Liszt stay and help you until this war is over."
After receiving this promise, Flynn finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.
"Thank you."
After all, in the previous promise, Jiang Feng only promised to send reinforcements to Sardiniburg, and now that the siege of Sardiniburg has been lifted, if Jiang Feng disbands the militia of Boulder City like this, it is really difficult to say whether the victory or defeat of this war will be true.
Especially the musketeers who were armed with fire-breathing iron rods, and Flynn was even more greedy.
Ever since he heard the news from his subordinates, he had been thinking about it, and even sent in a skilled royal blacksmith to secretly copy a few. However, not to mention the high cost, without the key gunpowder, those iron rods are useless at all, and they are not as effective as a sharp dagger on the battlefield.
One reason for finding Jiang Feng this time was to keep the tens of thousands of militiamen, and the other reason was for those "fire-breathing iron rods".
When it comes to Boulder's new army, the topic naturally leads to this.
Unsure of Jiang Feng's attitude, Flynn only vaguely tried it, revealing the idea that the kingdom wanted to buy a batch of weapons. Originally, Flynn didn't have much hope, after all, if it was him, he wouldn't take out this kind of sharp weapon and sell it to others, but the answer Jiang Feng gave was beyond his expectations.
"I can sell you if you need it, but you'll have to talk to my professional manager about it. As for whether to talk about it or not, it depends on the sincerity of your offer. ”
When he said this, Jiang Feng was very impatient, but Flynn, who was sitting opposite him, was overjoyed, and hurriedly answered with a smile.
"This is nature! I'll ask my advisor to make a trip to Boulder and I'm sure we'll be able to get you the price you can offer. ”
Jiang Feng smiled faintly, just nodded, but did not speak.
Selling arms, he had been planning to do so for a long time.
Without the introduction of rifling technology, the musket itself does not have any special technical content, and with the forging process of the domestic blacksmith shop in the Rick Kingdom, it may also be a trouble to forge iron pipes, and this so-called trouble is only in the cost.
Jiang Feng simply calculated an account.
When the Boulder City Hall outsourced production to the blacksmiths of the industry alliance, the cost of a musket was around five thousand UBS. After the establishment of the steel plant, this number plummeted, and was even compressed to less than 1,000 UBS.
The core of the musket is still on the gunpowder, and the formula of the gunpowder must be kept strictly secret for now.
As for how long it can be kept secret, Jiang Feng is not too easy to say.
According to the law of the natural development of a civilization, after the germination of natural science appears, it is only a matter of time before the scientific and technological tree of gunpowder is lit, just as there will be great geographical discoveries after the breakthrough of navigation technology, and AI will inevitably appear after the invention of computers.
However, these long-term things are not what Jiang Feng needs to consider.
There are no low-level civilization ban laws and primitive civilization protection regulations in this universe, as long as he can earn the repair fee of the spaceship, he dares to sell anything. It can even be said that if Flynn can come up with 10,000 tons of gold and pay it all at once, he will have no problem packing up gunpowder and steam engine-related technology to give him.
Anyway, for him, this kind of primitive civilization will be like a treasure of technology, not even a toy.
……
Half a month has passed since the end of the siege of Sardiniburg.
After confirming that Cilita's injuries were no longer serious, Jiang Feng returned home and returned to the Thorn Wasteland. Just in time for the early arrival of this winter, when he returned to the Wizard's Tower, the walls were already covered in snow.
To be honest, he didn't have a lot of interest in the war of the aborigines. At this point, it is unlikely that Prince William will turn the tables. Although it might be more beneficial for him to fight this war for a longer time, thinking of the various rumors about Chaos, Jiang Feng weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided not to take this risk.
There were so many ways to extract gold from the natives, and he had a large plantation on Crocodile Island, which, if properly managed, would not take long to finance the Shuttle.
Pushing open the wooden window, a cool breeze penetrated the neckline.
Looking at the silver white outside the window, Jiang Feng let out a mouthful of white mist.
Watching the white mist drift away in the flying snowflakes, perhaps because of his childlike innocence, he reached out to catch a falling snowflake, and watched it melt in the palm of his hand until it disappeared.
"You've put all the air conditioning in." Sitting next to the radiator, Emily shrunk her neck and grumbled quietly.
Emily was quite excited when she saw snow for the first time, after all, in an area like Crocodile Island, which is close to the tropics, you can't see snowflakes. But it was not even a week later, and the little girl was succumbed to the cold winter of the thorny wasteland, and the whole person seemed to wilt away, losing her former vitality.
Yi Ran is Xi. It is normal. According to her, her hometown itself is cold, and it is true all year round.
"I'm just breathing."
Jiang Feng smiled and reached out to close the window.
As the window closed, Emily's face regained a happy expression, leaning lazily against the radiator like a piece of gummy about to melt. Because it was too warm, Yi Ran, who was leaning next to her and reading a book, couldn't help but yawn and looked like she was about to fall asleep.
There was a warm and peaceful scene in the study, which made the corners of Jiang Feng's mouth can't help but hook up a smile.
The heating system here was designed by him himself, and the principle is not very complicated, but the most primitive steam heating. However, for the people of this world, the design of this radiator is quite new, and even Makalu took a second look, and was amazed at this "luxury" that did not use witchcraft but was better than witchcraft.
Because the performance was still being tested, only this study in the entire wizard tower had a heating supply, so since the days when it snowed, Emily had been running to Jiang Feng's study every day, no matter what was going on or not, she ran to rub the heat. It's the same with Yi Ran, but fortunately, she can still keep herself warm, but occasionally when she is fine, she comes here to sit here for a while, and by the way, she asks Jiang Feng to borrow books to pass the time.
The news of the victory in the war took wings and flew across the western borders of the kingdom.
And for Jiang Feng, there are also two good news worth celebrating.
The first good news has already been mentioned, that, counting the reward given to him by Flynn Sereying, his "deposit" has exceeded three hundred tons of gold. It is an exaggeration to say that the rich rival the country, but so many gold bars are piled together, which is still quite shocking.
As for the second piece of good news, after a period of research and analysis, the portal technology has finally made a breakthrough. Speaking of which, we have to mention Fielding, without the help of this expert in inscription technology, it would certainly not be so quick to decipher the inscriptions on the portal.
Combining these two pieces of good news, Jiang Feng decided to go back to Crocodile Island.
On the one hand, he is preparing to exchange gold for stardust points, and on the other hand, he is preparing to build a portal on the island to connect his two realms. He intends to focus on the development of industry in the Thorn Wasteland, and the abundant natural resources on Crocodile Island are scarce in the Thorn Wasteland.
The two complement each other.
Being able to travel between the two places quickly saves him a lot of time.
And most importantly, he also wants to see the portal technology on the idealistic side.
No success can be achieved without experimentally proven technology.
But before that, he has a few things to take care of.
