Chapter 240: The Glass Technician

Fifteen percent sulfur powder, fifteen percent charcoal powder, fifty percent saltpeter powder, ten percent fire crystal powder, five percent rosin powder, five percent starch, plus egg white, stir evenly, put it into a mold to press and shape, pour it out to dry, and it becomes the cylinder of the dwarven musket to shoot gunpowder.

Lorist took Schward to the public library in Moriente City, and for a large silver coin, he asked the librarian to get him the daily newspaper of Moriente last year, which published Professor Bob of Daystar College cracking the recipe for dwarven gunpowder.

Interestingly, Professor Bob claimed that after cracking the secret recipe for the configuration of dwarven gunpowder, he found that in the process of cracking it, there was a great possibility of improving the performance of dwarven gunpowder, but unfortunately he did not have saltpeter ore in his hand, so he could not conduct the test.

The reporter of the daily newspaper Morente specially interviewed the dwarves who had only opened the shop for less than a month, but these dwarves claimed that the formula for firing gunpowder was finally handed down by their ancestors after thousands of years of exploration, and that it was the most perfect formula and did not need to be changed. As for Professor Bob's claim to improve the performance of gunpowder, in the eyes of the dwarves, it is nothing more than an attempt to obtain saltpeter mines from the hands of the dwarves for experiments that are not available in the human world.

Lorist was a little embarrassed, and he still wanted to keep the gunpowder secret, but who knew that he had been working behind closed doors. There are so many colleges in the city of Morente, so many knowledgeable professors have long since cracked the secret of gunpowder. Thankfully, the dwarves used saltpeter ore that they dug from the ground, and the professors didn't really realize that the saltpeter used to tann leather could replace saltpeter.

In the past life, the ancient Chinese gunpowder was also discovered by those practitioners after hundreds of years of experimentation, and the Gayrenta scholars did not find that the white crystal-shaped miscanthus that grew next to the toilet in the corner was one of the ingredients of gunpowder, they only knew that collecting this kind of thing could make bitter and salty water, which was used to tann leather instead of salt water. This should be considered Lorist's luck, as it will allow him to make a better black powder than the dwarven gunpowder.

"Schward, you will begin to bring two literate guards to this library tomorrow, read the newspapers and scholarly articles published in previous years, and if you think it is valuable, record them and give them to me, and the next thing the family will focus on is navigation and territorial development, and you should pay attention to this aspect of the situation. Lorist said to his students.

"Okay, teacher, I'll take notice. Schward was also very happy, he already liked to read books and newspapers.

With the gunpowder formula out of hand, Lorist happily returned to the Rook Tavern, where it was time to get down to business.

Joske had taken four guards and stayed at the Crow Tavern to guard the 100,000 goldfords.

El was drunk every day by his former community brothers.

Dorles went to Dawn Academy to show off the old students, and he also came back drunk every day.

Lorist thought about it, and it was time for him to visit those old friends.

In the next few days, Lorist was very busy, and brought two guards to leave early and return late, focusing on the professors and students who knew each other at Dawn Academy, as well as Dean Levins and the Archswordsman and his wife. Seven years have passed, and Dawn Academy also has a bit of a sense of being a person, and some of the teachers Lorist acquaintances have also left Dawn Academy, but the bronze commemorative statue of Lorist challenging the silver master with a black iron rank of 3,000 miles in front of the Academy's Sword Club is still so unbeatable, and it has even become a legend of Dawn Academy.

Dean Levins was also much older, and the gift that Lorist brought to him was a good Demon Tiger Fur, which was very good for the old Lord's legs and feet suffering from rheumatism. As for the Krude Great Sword Master, he was hit hard. Full of confidence, he had to point out Lorist's swordsmanship, and then he didn't go through a hundred moves under Lorlist's sword......

Dorres brought news to Lorlist, some old students of Dawn Academy were very envious of his experience, and hoped to be like the first batch of old students to follow Lorlist's northward journey, and throw themselves into the arms of the Norton family.

Lorist thought about it, but he had to explain the risk first, the family needs talents, and these old students of Dawn Academy know the roots, they are their best team, since they are interested, how can they refuse?

With Lorlist's permission, Dorres happily swung his hoe and dug into the corners of the Dawn Academy. In the past seven years, the old students who knew Lorist and them at the beginning are still the backbone of teaching and learning in Dawn Academy, and if they defect to Lorlist, then Dean Levins will have a headache in the face of the teaching shortage.

Lorist went to visit Mr. Tim, the Viscounts of Terbury, who lived in a four-story Gothic house not far from the College District, and the Peterson Chamber of Commerce had helped them in purchasing the house, which cost them four or five thousand dollarsford.

The Viscount of Terbury and his wife were very surprised by the arrival of Lorlist, and the couple were very grateful to Lorlist, one was rescued by Lorist from the Earl's cave, and the other was supported by Lorist to become the official heir of the Viscount of Turberly, and arranged for them to become a couple.

Mr. Tim is now a well-known nobleman in the upper class of Molent City, and he lamented that he was very envious before he became a nobleman, and he didn't know the difficulties of aristocrats until he became a nobleman, and it was really tiring to wear a mask and socialize with people all day, and he felt that nobles were actually very hypocritical creatures.

Lorist laughed, amused by Mr. Tim. During the small talk, Mr. Tim revealed a very important message, and that was that the Forde Business Alliance was likely to reinstate the lordship system. It's just that their titles are conferred in the name of Parliament, unlike the territorial nobles like Lorlist, who receive royal canonization.

Lorist also informed Mr. Tim of his and Peterson's decision to make the Viscount of Terbury the place of their dealings, and of course the taxes and fees to be paid. Mr. Tim said that he would be glad and glad to help Lorlist, and that he would give orders to the old Knight of Kems, who had remained at the castle of the Viscount of Tybley, to assist him in his efforts.

Upon returning to the Crow Tavern, Lorist finds El and his brother Ledos waiting for him. Since El left home to become the knight of the family of Lorist, Ledos has become the boss of the community, he is much more reliable than El, it has only been seven years, Ledos's club has become the largest community organization in the city of Moldonte, and he has privately mastered half of the blocks of the city of Moldonte, and nearly 4,000 people follow him to eat.

Ledos brought Lorist more than fifty gold dollar bills with a face value of one hundred goldfords. Lorist looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what this meant. El explained that this was the rental income of the building that Lorist had previously purchased on Avenue du Rose, and that El had entrusted the building to the management of the labor company in Ledos before leaving, and that the proceeds would be split seventy-thirty. The more than 5,000 gold ford is the rent share.

Lorist then remembered that he had bought a building back then, and that he had mortgaged it to El for 5,000 gold fords when he was short of funds on the way north, but the account had already been paid off on the northbound road. I thought that it cost 5,004 to buy a house back then, but I didn't expect that it would only take seven years to recover the capital.

Ledos replied with a smile that it was mainly due to the high housing prices in Moriente City in recent years, and even the rent had increased several times, which was why there was so much rental income. However, this time he came to see Lorist not only to pay rent, but he wanted to take over the sale of those monster bacon jerky, pickled whale meat and snow salt from Lorlist.

Ledos smiled bitterly and said that there was no way, there were too many people eating with him now, and he had to try his best to earn money. Now his community has opened a small grocery store in half of the neighborhoods under his control, so Lorist sells these goods in his shop.

Lorist agreed to Ledos's request, but he also asked Ledos to help him with two things, one was to find out about the personal situation of Professor Bob of Daystar Academy, and Lorist wanted to recruit the professor who had cracked the formula for the dwarven gunpowder to conduct a gunpowder configuration test for himself. Another is to ask the community organization in Toledos to pay attention to whether there are those talented but unambitious and very depressed talents, Lorist found that the family is currently in need of talents in all aspects, the more the merrier.

After reaching an agreement with Ledos, Lorist is going to go to the Trimber Kingdom, which is rich in glass, and Shi Fatty's father opened a consignment glass trading house there, and Lorist is ready to hand over all the glass needed by the family to Shi Fatzi's father to buy it, no matter what, this is also his own person, not to mention that there is a letter from Fat Shi to his father in his hand and he has to send it.

Shi Fatzi's father was a successful businessman, and it is said that his trading house also had shares in the Trimber royal family, so he was taken care of in the glass consignment business. For the arrival of Lorist and others, he was very enthusiastic. As Shi Fatzi himself said, his father dreamed of becoming a territorial nobleman, so when he treated the real territorial noble, his attitude was not ordinary respect.

"Uncle, you don't have to be so polite, really. Although Schrader is a knight of my family, he is also my friend and companion. You are his father, and you are also my elder, you can greet your subordinates with such a small thing, you don't need to do it yourself, you know that you will confuse me by doing this......" Lorist was a little crying and laughing.

After reading Shi Fatzi's letter and knowing that Lorist was not only a real territorial nobleman, but also the lord of his son's family, Shi Fatty's father was meticulous in his hospitality to Lorist and others. In particular, when Lorist talked to him about Shi Fatzi, he said with certainty that as long as it was another three years, when Shi Fatzi had served the family for ten years, and his contribution to the family was enough to be awarded the title of barony and a territory, Shi Fatzi's father burst into tears and was inexplicably grateful.

From that day on, Lorist found that his treatment had gone further, and even small things such as serving tea and water were served by Shi Fatzi's father himself, instead of the usual servants and subordinates, which made Lorist flattered and deeply uncomfortable, and decided to leave after finishing his work early.

Regarding the various glass products needed for the family territory, Shi Fatzi's father patted his chest and punched the bag, he had everything, and he would never miss anything, and he didn't even need Lorist to pay a deposit for a copper plate. However, Lorist refused this kindness, although Shi Fatzi's father was a successful businessman and a rich man, but the transaction worth 20,000 gold fords was not a small amount, and if something went wrong, it would drag down Shi Fatzi's family, so Lorist thought that the public was public, and the private was private, and how to trade should be handled according to normal steps.

Two years ago, Shi Fatzi wrote a letter to his father, asking his father to help find out what raw materials are usually purchased for the production base of glass manufacturing? This is Lorlist's idea after the failure of the experiment to make glass in the family territory. However, in the past two years, Shi Fatzi's father has not made much progress and discoveries, because the protection policy adopted by the Kingdom of Trimber on glass manufacturing is unusually strict and cautious, whether it is incoming or outgoing, it is top secret.

However, Shi Fatzi's father recommended a man to Lorlist, a technician who had worked in a glass production base for thirty-two years. At the age of fourteen, the technician named Mancheni inherited his father's business and entered the glass production base, and was promoted from a small handyman to a technician who could stand alone, and it is estimated that he should know all aspects of glass production well. Shi Fatzi's father met him because of the consignment of glass, and the two can be regarded as friends.

Shi Fatzi's father once heard Mancheni technician and his companions complaining, complaining that the heads of the glass production base were all elm heads, and only knew that Shoucheng did not know innovation. So Shi Fatzi's father, out of a keen sense of a businessman, began to pay attention to this Mancheni technician.

This Mancheni technician has not had a good time, he and his wife have only one daughter, and they have always loved him very much. Now that her daughter is growing up, she should worry about how to find a good husband for her daughter. Unfortunately, on September 36 of this year, the day of the harvest festival, he and his wife took their daughter out into the streets, and they ran into Viscount Silva.

Viscount Silva is well-known in Fayes City, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Trimber, but this reputation is not very good. He is the nephew of the queen, he is as fat as a pig, but he is extremely lustful, and he once staged a robbery of the people's daughters in the royal capital, causing a riot among the people, and after being taught a hard lesson by the queen, it can be regarded as a lot of restraint.

This Viscount Silva fell in love with the daughter of the Mancheni technician, and now he didn't dare to rob him in the street, but he followed and harassed him all the way, saying that he wanted to marry the Mancheni technician's daughter as his twenty-sixth concubine.

Mr. and Mrs. Mancheni loved their daughter more than treasures, and they were willing to push her into the fire pit, so they immediately rejected Viscount Silva, and feared that Viscount Silva would mess up, so they took their daughter to hide in the dormitory of the glass production base, thinking that they could always avoid Viscount Silva's dirty hands.

It is true that Viscount Silva can't put his hand into the heavily guarded glass production base, but he can buy the bosses above with gold coins, as long as they help drive the Mancheni family out, this is just a gesture, can he still befriend the viscount, do you still have to choose? The leaders laughed at the gold coins of Viscount Silva, and the Mancheni technician's family was in trouble.

Soon Mancheni technicians received an ultimatum from the heads of the glass production base, since his wife and daughter were not from the glass production base, so it was illegal for them to stay in the dormitory of the base, but for the sake of Mancheni technicians who had worked diligently for thirty-two years, they were given three days to order them to leave the glass production base, otherwise they would be dealt with for violating the confidentiality regulations, etc.

Mancheni technician felt extremely cold, he had almost dedicated his life to the glass production base, but he did not expect to be forced to a dead end by his own people. What is especially ridiculous is that as a technician in the glass production base, who has mastered all the secrets of glass production, Mancheni technician has always been equipped with two silver swordsmen. Unfortunately, the two Silver Swordsmen existed to monitor Mancheni Technician for leaks, not as his bodyguards. Not only did he stand by and watch what happened to the Mancheni technician's family, but he also watched it with relish......

Shi Fatzi's father said that the Mancheni technician's family had just been kicked out of the glass production base, and Viscount Silva had decided to marry his daughter in three days, and now the Mancheni technician's family was desperate, if Lorist reached out at this time, then the Mancheni technician would definitely be loyal to the ground, and the family would definitely be able to master the technology of producing glass.

That's a good idea, Lorist thought to himself, touching his chin......
