Chapter 328: I'm Poor

When Karna saw Chen Xiao's territory, a shock from his soul made him speechless for a long time.

Steel refineries can smelt high-quality steel in large quantities, and only in this environment surrounded by steel furnaces can you feel the horror of steel refineries.

The stainless steel weapons and armor produced by the assembly line can be said to be divine weapons, as long as you have such a steel refinery, you can create an invincible army.

Karna quickly saw the pros and cons and the threat.

Chen Xiao glanced at Karna slightly, and said casually: "Recently, there are relatively few orders, and the production capacity cannot be increased. Hey, if there's an order......"

When Karna heard this, he looked confused: "Mr. Chen, do you still receive orders here?"

"Of course, whether it's swords or weapons, or shields, I can produce them, but I can also produce them here as long as they can use iron and the like. ”

He took Karna on a tour of the steel refinery, where workers in various workshops were hammering molds of various shapes and appearances in front of the roaring furnace.

He saw a steel long sword, which could be completed after a number of simple processes, and the forging speed simply refreshed Karna's three views.

There are also oddly shaped steel bars, which are burned red and then forged and twisted to become wonderful spirals, which are said to have been used to make garden fences.

Karna was an eye-opener.

His heart was hot, and he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen, if I place an order with you, you won't accept it!"

"Pick up!" Chen Xiao smiled slightly.

This guy has finally taken the bait!

Karna suppressed the excitement and shock in his heart, and slowly said his thoughts: "Like this steel long sword, I want five thousand sets of armor. ”

"As long as you have money, it's fine......"

Chen Xiao's answer made Karna extremely depressed.

The cost of these weapons and armor was not low, and Karna's order could only be reduced again and again, and finally 500 sets were set.

These 500 sets of weapons and armor cost two gold coins for one set.

The high price of a thousand gold coins made Karna feel extremely painful.

"His Royal Highness...... It's only a thousand gold coins. Chen Xiao said indifferently.

Karna suddenly grimaced and said, "One thousand gold coins is already my full net worth." Do you think His Royal Highness is very rich?"

"Isn't it yet?" Chen Xiao was stunned.

"Of course not. My monthly money is only 20 gold coins every month, and I go out for all kinds of expenses, and at the end of a month, the monthly money is enough. If it weren't for the income from my own domain and the monthly contribution of the royal knights, I might not have been able to get even a thousand gold coins. ”

After all, gold coins are worth a lot.

The monthly tax revenue of a large city is almost a few thousand gold coins, and the tax revenue of some small cities will be even less a year, only a few hundred gold coins.

Even if Karna has a noble status, he can save a few hundred gold coins in a year. This is already relatively wealthy, like those royal family members who have no territory, they can live with monthly money every month, and they can also live a very prosperous life.

"Mr. Chen, I will report your steel refinery here to the Empire, and there will be orders one after another. I'm sure you'll know how. ”

"Of course, as a citizen of the Empire, I am more than happy to contribute to the Empire. Chen Xiao said awe-inspiringly.

I don't know what this guy has in mind, but Karna is still happy.

He patted Chen Xiao's arm and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is really a model for my generation. I think my father will be very interested in you. ”

The emperor of the Dorag Empire, is a legend.

His deeds are very dramatic, and have become a legendary story talked about by the people, and have also been compiled into stories by many theater troupes and circuses, and have been widely circulated.

Moremod Pendragon, known as the legendary king of kingslayer, killed his father in order to end the reign of the Mad King.

Although he has the name of "kingkiller" and "rebel", Moremod is a real king, after he ended the rule of the "mad king", he turned the tide, put an end to the turbulent situation of the Dorag Empire, and worked hard to make the country stronger and stronger.

The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth curled up with a faint smile: "His Royal Highness, please ...... here There are also coal mining companies, cement factories and department stores and supermarkets. I'm sure there is something that will interest you. ”

Karna couldn't help but look expectant.

"Good. ”

Karna showed a deep interest in cement that could solidify gravel sand.

This is something that has a very high strategic role, and with cement, the fortress walls of the border can be easily built.

"That's a great achievement! Mr. Chen. Karna's eyes lit up as he looked at the bag of gray clay powder.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Welcome to order, His Royal Highness the Prince." For your sake, I'll give you a discounted price. ”

When it comes to money, Karna feels a pain in the egg.

As soon as Chen Xiao talked about money, he was energetic, and there was no one left.

Chen Xiao directly said to Karna: "I'm poor, His Royal Highness." ”

For such a cheeky guy, Karna said that he was willing to bow down.

Although Chen Xiao's industry is still in its infancy, he still sees unlimited prospects for the future.

When cement is popularized, steel is popularized, and honeycomb coal is popularized, and there will be a huge demand, and Chen Xiao, as an inventor, will be the giant who controls the economic lifeline of the mainland.

Karna prides himself on being a genius, but compared with Chen Xiao's various whimsical ideas and talents, Karna feels deeply inferior.

Ghost talent--Chen Xiao!

A veritable genius!

Each of his inventions and creations is enough to go down in history and be remembered for centuries, and his contribution to the mainland is unpredictable.

Karna could predict that as long as Chen Xiao was given enough time to grow, this guy would become a legend in the mainland.

For this thigh, Karna had no other idea than hugging his thigh beforehand.

He was a knight, a despicable and shameless thing that he would not do and would not disdain to do.

Although he also took into account Chen Xiao's threat, such a guy would not pose a threat to him.

After all, strength is the enduring theme of this world.

He wanted Chen Xiao to die, he only needed to move his fingers to pinch him to death.

This kind of invention and creation that can change the direction of the world and improve people's lives can only have an attitude of expectation and support.

"Mr. Chen, your territory is really different. Today I was kind of an eye-opener. After seeing the coal mining company and the department store, Karna sighed.

This black stone, with a little processing, can be a good fuel, and this thing is also very valuable.

In the future, there is no need to use firewood for cooking.

And the department store supermarket has refreshed the three views of Karna.

This kind of clean and tidy supermarket with all kinds of daily necessities can not only greatly facilitate the life of the people, but also a huge money-absorbing weapon.

Chen Xiao, who was able to come up with this kind of department store on the basis of grocery stores, was simply heartbroken.

Back at the Black Stone Fort Castle, Chen Xiao hosted a banquet for Karna and his men.

The members of the First Royal Knights, whose lowest cultivation level is the Golden Beginner, and each of them is a carefully selected elite.

Chen Xiao naturally didn't dare to slack off.

He held a large banquet in the courtyard of the castle, not an aristocratic banquet, but a banquet in the style of a wine table, in addition to a variety of delicacies, the banquet was also unlimited.

As His Royal Highness the Prince, Karna was the most honorable person present, and Chen Xiao did not give in, so he gave Karna three glasses of wine.

The hot liquor slid into the throat, causing a warm current to rise in the stomach pouch, driving away the chill of the night.

In the open air, a large table of people gathered around to eat and drink, an experience that Karna found very novel.

The food on the table is not delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the taste is very good, the umami is incomparable, and it is even more delicious than the food made by the imperial kitchen.

There are more than a dozen large tables, each with a dozen people, holding tableware called "chopsticks" and sandwiching their favorite dishes.

The most surprising thing for Karna was that this "liquor" was so strong!

He took a sip and fell in love with this stimulating liquor.
