Lisa smiled nonchalantly, whether it was out of approval or ridicule. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The woman's mind had never been elusive, and Donner didn't bother trying to figure out her mind—and not necessarily.

"Mr. Alex," he said with a smile, "whether it's a clockwork motorcycle, or those woven cotton cloths, or even all the machines you see here, we can sell them." However, we don't need magic crystals, and we don't have much interest in gold coins. What we need is raw materials. ”

"What do you mean...... Cotton and iron ore?" Alex reacted quickly.

"Cotton, ore, rubber, leather, flax, potions, etc.," Donner counted with his fingers, "Oh, by the way, it can also be livestock, like the ponies of the Knights' Federation, the long-haired sheep of Caios, ......."

"Where's the grain?" Alex asked.

"We don't need food," Donner shook his head. Since the Femon Empire stopped paying tribute to the Far North, there was a surplus of grain every year, and the situation will only become more and more optimistic as agricultural machinery continues to spread and spread. Therefore, imported food did not bring much benefit to the Femmont Empire, except that it would starve the poor in the rest of Middle-earth.

"Duke Vane, I respect your idea, but ......," Alex frowned slightly, "As I said before, a magic car like the one your friend rode could sell for at least tens of thousands of magic crystals, and if all of these magic crystals were exchanged for the goods you just mentioned, I am afraid that the amount would be too large." ”

"That makes sense," Donner said after a moment's pause, "I just need a rare material that your chamber can trade for a clockwork." ”

"What material?" Alex asked.

"Gold of Desperation. Downer replied.

Rao was mentally prepared for Alex, or was taken aback by Donner's answer. Even Lisa couldn't help but glance at Donner suspiciously.

"Desperate Gold?" Alex exclaimed, "Duke Vaane...... The gold of desperation is so rare that I am afraid that I will not be able to collect much with the power of the Contemptible Chamber of Commerce. ”

"As far as I know, there are definitely a lot of desperate golds scattered all over Middle-earth. Downer said: "I believe in the ability of your chamber of commerce, if you can't do it, then no one can do it." ”

“...... Since you are in need, I will do my best. Alex said.

"That's good. Donner smiled, "Now, let's get to know the future factory owners." ”

At this time, Wesley happened to take Mino and the others all the way over.

"Donner, there's an uneven distribution of spoils here!" Wesley laughed loudly.

Everyone was a little embarrassed by him, only Mino said calmly: "That's the case, Donner, you see, the bicycle factory, the weaving factory, the carpentry workshop, and the small hardware factory over there...... All of them add up to seven or eight, and there are more than 30 of us. ”

Donner shook his head with a smile and said, "You are too greedy, aren't you? The textile industry alone can be divided into spinning, weaving, and even printing and dyeing, and garment manufacturing, and each business can be set up separately." ”

"Wait, do you mean tailors?" said Mino, smiling, "I don't think anyone here is interested in opening a tailor's shop." ”

Donner was even more speechless, and said to Danny, who was following the crowd, "Didn't you show you how to use the sewing machine?"

"I haven't had time to ...... yet," Danny explained.

"That's not a hurry. Donner said, waving.

"Yes Dean, gentlemen, please come with me......"

Danny was at the forefront, and Donner continued to explain to Mino and others as he walked: "Once the textile industry develops, the amount of cloth produced will far exceed the needs of the aristocracy, and with the increase in production, the price of cotton cloth is bound to be lower and lower, and the main consumer will be more and more inclined to the commoners, and the common class has less high requirements for the ironing and fitting of clothing than the nobles, and it is completely possible for the factory to produce standard clothing, and people only need to buy by size......"

"But even if the price of cotton cloth is low, the common people probably can't afford it, right?" reminded Mino, "the average farmer has no income other than rations. ”

This time, without waiting for Donner's answer, Wesley asked rhetorically, "Mino, who are you going to hire to do the work in your factory when it opens, and what will you pay for it?"

"But......" Mino's pause slightly, glancing at the workers in light blue overalls around him, and thoughtfully, "After all, there are only a few civilians who can be hired by the factory, right?"

"It depends on how many factories we can open. Donner laughed.

Amidst the laughter, the group came to the machine tunnel on the other side of the loom.

Danny stopped in front of several small, thin machines, turned to the crowd and said, "Gentlemen, these are sewing machines......

After a night of shock, the appetite of Mino and the others also became a little bigger, and seeing the unattractive appearance of these so-called sewing machines, they were a little unable to lift their energy, and their minds were still on the big guys they had just seen.

However, when Danny's workers pedaled and pushed two pieces of cotton cloth together into the stitches of the sewing machine, they realized that these seemingly simple machines did not seem to be simple.

"That's fine......" Quisal took the freshly sewn cloth from Danny's hand and looked back and forth, his eyes wide.

The cloth was passed out of Quissar's hand, and everyone who took it could not help but marvel.

"It's hard to imagine that if it was sewn by a tailor, it would take at least ten minutes, but this machine can be made in the blink of an eye!"

"You see, the stitches are so meticulous that I bet even the best tailor in Coennas can't do it!"

In the crowd, Alex took the cloth, looked at it carefully, and then looked solemn, closed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Lisa glanced at him faintly, probably guessing his thoughts, so she didn't ask again.

"Okay," Donner said loudly, "guys, any industry is an industrial chain formed by many factories, large and small, and it is not something that one person can eat." ”

As he spoke, he said to Danny, "Go and get the industrial layout map." ”

It didn't take long for Danny to spread a map of the Fermon Empire on the large table in front of Donner and the others.

"Look," Donner said, pointing to the map, "the provinces of Cope and Brina in the south of the empire have a large number of cotton plantations, which are the most suitable for the development of the textile industry, Mino, your fiefdom is in Cope, right?"

"Looks like the mill is mine!" said Mino, laughing.

"Don't worry," Donner laughed, "Look at the drawings I draw, I have planned a total of nine factories in the textile industry, except for Mino, if anyone is interested, they will claim it themselves." ”

When everyone heard him say this, they all gathered around the map, and it didn't take long for the nine factories to be claimed by nine people, including Mino. Several of them had fiefs that were not in the provinces of Cope and Brina, but no one raised any questions - everyone knew the relationship between the Duke of Vane and the Empress Lucia, and since the Duke of Venne acquiesced, it was only a matter of going through the process of applying for a fief from the Empress.

"Steel is in the north, so the bicycle factory has to be built in the north......," Donner said, pointing to the province of Quentin, north of Coenas.

"Don't grab this from me!" Wesley squeezed away from the next few people, rushed to pounce on the map, looked left and right, and shouted, "The bike factory belongs to me!"

"Look at your little bit of interest!" Mino smiled, "It's not a clockwork motorcycle factory, is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

"What do you know?" Wesley said disdainfully, "When my bike factory is built, I will be able to produce clockwork motorcycles in a few years!

Minnot and the others all looked at Donner, who shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's basically it. ”

At this time, several guys who had just claimed a quota in the textile industry had obvious remorse on their faces.

Wesley wouldn't give them a chance, he snatched the quill from Danny's hand, wrote the word Borg next to the bike factory in the Quentin Province area, and laughed, "It's decided!"

"Okay, next up is the bicycle factory tender, who's interested?" Downer laughed.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

"And me!"

In the blink of an eye, three other factories in the province of Quentin were also emptied.

Then, there were the rubber industrial factories and wheel factories planned around the rubber plantations in the south, the largest forest in the central part of the empire, the wood factories near the dark forests, and the agricultural machinery factories...... After all the factories on the map had been claimed, Mino suddenly said, "Why don't you have Quissar's share?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just going to do some things like fighting and killing, and I'm going to open a factory. Quisal busy.

"Oh, no! This is not going to work!" "Donner, why did you get one less?"

"The reason is simple, there was no Wesley on this picture. Donner chuckled, "Now, I'll have to give up the share reserved for Wesley to Quissar." ”

"Reserved for me?" Wesley exclaimed, "What is it?"

"It's in this hall. Donner pretended to be mysterious.

"We're supposed to have seen all the machines, right?" said Mino, turning to Danny, "Isn't it?"

"Yes sir, I've seen them all. Danny nodded in reply.

"Except for one thing, no one is paying attention," Donner smiled, "and it's the hall itself." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the wall on this side of the hall, and everyone followed him.

"No one notices, is there anything different in this hall?" Donner stood by the wall, where torches were blazing.

"This stone has no seams...... Alex was the first to react, his voice sounding full of shock.

"It's cement. Wesley smiled and reminded, "Cement wall!"

"Cement, what is cement?" Alex wondered.

"A powder, mixed with a little water, sticks the stone together, and when it dries, it is as strong as the stone. Wesley glanced at Alex like a dirt bun, "This wall is just a layer of cement on the surface, and the inside should be stone. ”

"You're wrong this time, too," Donner laughed, "It's steel inside, that's why it's built so high!"

"Quissar," Donner looked at Quissar, suddenly feeling that his rugged appearance was too much for the image of a contractor, "cement factory, construction company, real estate developer...... It's not a small business!"

Quisal grinned, and though he didn't understand what the words meant, he was sure that Donner wouldn't treat him badly. (To be continued.) )
