Except for Hui Lisha, who finalized the deal at the beginning, the others were grinding and seeming to be watching out for something. And today is finally here to talk about business seriously.

One tall and one short, one thin and one fat, walking together is quite joyful.

"Hello, Pastor Merris. ”

This time Wayne did not make a cross, but instead held out his hand and shook hands.

"Hello, Lord Thorin. ”

Wayne naturally bent down to shake hands, and Thorin tried to tip his toes so that Wayne didn't bend too hard.

The three of them sat down in a triangle shape.

Wayne gets straight to the point.

"Both, my artillery is already very cheap. No matter how cheap it is, I can't even make the capital. ”

Thorin and Merris glanced at each other.

Merris spoke.

"But we bought a lot of them this time, and we have a long way to go, so the cost of transporting the artillery is not small. If Master Wayne doesn't give us a little discount, the gold cost will be a terrifying number. ”

"But you must also be considerate of me, if I sell it to you, and the nobles who are next to you think so, what they think of me. This will be a huge blow to my prestige. ”

Thorin then said.

"Wayne can't say that, this cannon is for defense. As long as they don't come to invade us, they don't have to be afraid of artillery. How can they blame you. ”

Wayne shook his head.

"Your Excellency Thorin, you are wrong, if you go to war one day. But when the nobles found out that the walls were full of artillery, they remembered that I Wayne. ”

Merris said reverently.

"We haven't been at war with Rune for twenty years, and we won't. ”

Wayne smacked his mouth and savored today's coffee. Didn't put milk.

"No, no, no, that battle twenty years ago was devastating for Rune. My father almost died in that battle, and you were the enemy. I have sold it to you with great sincerity. ”

Merris and Thorin felt a little tricky, although they had planned before they came, but now they found that Wayne was still a little difficult to deal with.

Merris still refuses to give up.

"Master Wayne, you have to think about it, our order this time is 3,000 guns. That's a full double as the elf, and it can't be said without a discount. ”

"Pastor Merris, you have to understand one thing, it's not that my artillery can't be sold, everyone is rushing to get it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that it would be delivered in three years. ”

Thorin didn't purchase artillery on this trip, he just wanted to buy a few and try it back, and it was not difficult to imitate the technology of the four princes. There is no point in discounting or not. He is purely an ally, helping Merris.

And his own artillery pieces were hidden in those three thousand cannons.

As for the church, they can't trust the dwarves, but they have to come to Wayne to procure it themselves. It's amazing that even allies don't trust them.

But both sides know it.

Allies are built on the level of equal power on both sides.

If the dwarves copied it, they wouldn't sell it to the church, and the church didn't buy enough artillery. I don't know if it's still an ally.

Dwarves can attack the church at will, but the church cannot enter Ortunno. Compared to Rune's hard bones, the dwarves still feel that the land of the church is fragrant.

As for Wayne, if the church and the dwarves really bought more than 3,000 doors. As for who bought less, Wayne also knew who it was.

Wayne was not in a hurry, and he knew what to do when the price of the dwarven imitation cannon was still higher than his own. Standardization, assembly line is not the ability to look at it.

Merris saw that the artillery could not be cheapened, so he could only use a killer move.

"Master Wayne, since we can't compromise on the matter of artillery, we want to talk about other aspects. ”

Wayne came interested.

"As long as it doesn't go too far, I'll think about it. ”

"I know that Master Wayne runs the so-called printing house, and the speed at which books are printed every day is amazing. So we want Master Wayne to help print the doctrine of my church, and of course we'll pay for it. If we could, we would like to buy a printing shop directly, or even buy the technology. ”

These gods are not as honest as they seem, and they are very chicken thieves.

Rune's books are quite expensive now, basically a silver coin. And his own direct development, one silver coin and ten copies are no problem. If it weren't for the fact that there were no paper mills now, the price would have dropped by more than half.

That would make it affordable for many people to buy books, and if it were a doctrine, many would probably be able to buy a copy back. If you don't understand it, you can plant seeds in people's hearts. It's a good deal.

"I'll sell you the print shop directly, and I can train people. Technology can't be sold, please understand. ”

"I don't just want that, I need no one else to own the printing press for three years but you and me. There can be no doctrine for a year, and hard brushing books other than Master Wayne's books. ”

Indeed, Merris's request just now was quite reasonable, and it was a normal deal. And now it was the additional condition for him to buy artillery.

Wayne was surprised, does he know the monopoly now? Merris is not simple!

"It's okay, and I'm not going to help anyone else print books. But I have some conditions, some history, poetry I still want to print. ”

Merris said immediately.

"As long as it doesn't conflict with doctrine. ”

Wayne had a hard time, and the book he wrote must have conflicted with the doctrine!

"Pastor Merris, I'm not happy with you saying that the book I wrote is in conflict with doctrine. ”

Thorin, who had been on the sidelines, looked at Merris with great interest, thinking that Merris would be difficult to do now.

Merris didn't expect this either, only knowing that Wayne was writing a book, but he didn't expect it to conflict with the doctrine. While many scholars have written books that grossly violate the dignity of the church, the impact has been limited.

Wayne is different, and the books he writes may affect the whole of Rune, and probably more than that.

But Merris quickly found himself in a misthinking. Whether he prints doctrine or not, Wayne can still print his own books.

I just got bad news.

That's why I want to use Wayne's printing shop. If he wasn't practical, Wayne printed a lot of books every day. Soon the whole of Rune will be the book of Wayne's counterdoctrine, which many may not have seen yet.

That's the disaster.

One is that there are only counter-doctrinal books, and the other is that doctrinal and counter-doctrinal books coexist.

Merris certainly knows how to do it. I can't help but think of a famous saying, many times making choices is choosing between bad and worse.

"Then Master Wayne, I still have this condition, and I can't publish other anti-doctrinal books other than your books. ”

Wayne and Thorin didn't think as deeply as Merris, after all, it wasn't themselves who were in a dilemma.

"But Pastor Merris, you need to pay a lot of gold, which is tantamount to announcing that no one else can do this business. ”

"I will explain it to the Pope. ”

Wayne agreed to monopolize the printing industry because he and the church printing were probably doing a lot of the work for the purpose of propagating ideas, with profit being secondary. If other merchants came, they wouldn't be able to defeat Wayne and the church.

It's no different from a monopoly. It's better to make some gains.
