"Great, Xianggong, you are really the best person in the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Long Hanyue smiled and hugged Fang Ruitao and pillowed his head on his chest.

Fang Ruitao smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be so affectionate, there are many people looking at us now." Long Hanyue knew that she was out of shape, she quickly left Fang Ruitao's arms and hid behind Gu Xinlan with a red face.

Fang Ruitao laughed and said, "You guys chat, I take Lucia to dance, you don't mind." ”

"Of course you don't mind, but you can't be partial, and when you're done dancing with Lucia, you'll have to take turns inviting the sisters. Gu Xinlan said with a smile.

Fang Ruitao smiled: "Of course, I want to dance with each of you tonight." With that, he made a gesture of invitation, and led Lucia into the ballroom.

As soon as Fang Ruitao and Lucia, the handsome men and women, appeared, they immediately suppressed the demeanor of other people on the dance floor. Fang Ruitao hugged Lucia elegantly, spinning rapidly on the dance floor, dancing extremely exciting. Fang Ruitao never favors one over the other, and after the end of the song, Long Hanyue, who was already impatient, replaced Lucia and provoked a veneer dance with Fang Ruitao. Fang Ruitao didn't stop, and after he danced with the girls one by one, most of the dance party had passed. The women also knew that they couldn't always pester Fang Ruitao, and after each danced, they gathered together to chat, and Fang Ruitao was finally able to get out.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Fang Ruitao walked quickly towards the dining table. Dancing is definitely very physically demanding, especially after dancing seven or eight dances in one go, Fang Ruitao is already hungry. The dance party in Shouyang Territory was different from that in other places, and the dance party in other parts of the Heavenly God Continent was more like a drinking party, and the host did not provide any additional food except for the drinks. But as a man from China on Earth, especially his father's habit, banquets were originally based on eating, so he simply combined the two, and in addition to serving drinks at each ball, there was a long list of tables next to the dance hall, where all kinds of food were placed and could be taken by the guests at any time.

Fang Ruitao picked up a tray and wanted to grab a few foods, only to find that the dwarf king was eating at the table. The Dwarven King had little interest in balls, and apart from striking iron, he was most interested in food and spirits.

Fang Ruitao walked up to the front and said with a smile: "Dwarf King, your appetite is really good, I think half of the food in today's banquet will be eaten by you." ”

The dwarf king wiped his oily beard and smiled, "Fortunately, I am the only one here today, if you let those elders come, I'm afraid you won't have enough food." ”

Fang Ruitao said: "It doesn't matter, you eat as well as possible, and the waiter will replenish the food at any time." ”

The Dwarven King laughed, "I'll go back and brag to them this time, I guess those guys will die of hunger." The food at this ball was delicious, much better than in Dwarf City, but the wine was not strong enough and tasted like plain water. ”

Fang Ruitao shook his head with a smile, reached out and took out a few bottles of medical alcohol from the chip space and handed them to him: "Save some drink, I brought a few bottles today." ”

The Dwarf King took a sip of the wine, and his eyes instantly lit up: "Yes, this is a good wine that can be eaten." ”

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "The dwarf's appetite is too terrifying, fortunately, your skills are quite high, otherwise I will lose money." ”

The Dwarf King wiped his beard and said, "But it seems that there are a lot of humans you have brought in recently, what do you want so many blacksmiths for?"

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "I am preparing to monopolize the steel industry of the entire Heavenly God Continent, and at the same time let steel products penetrate into all fields of civil use, which requires a large number of blacksmiths, and it is absolutely not enough to rely on dwarves alone, so I have collected all the blacksmiths who have gone bankrupt in China because of the price reduction of steel, so as to strengthen our Dwarf City Industrial Zone." ”

"I've always wondered why why you would have done this if we had focused only on weapons production, we wouldn't have to cut the price of steel dramatically, and we'd be more profitable, why would you do that, now we're so much less profitable, and everybody is busy. The Dwarven King asked curiously.

Fang Ruitao smiled slightly: "Sometimes profit is not the most important thing, think about it, our drastic price reduction has turned the Durrant craftsman's union from a profit point to a burden for them." This will greatly weaken the power of the Durrant Empire, and when they are no longer sustainable, the Craftsmen will have to declare bankruptcy, or change their trades, or seek to develop in our dwarven city. ”

The Dwarf King's eyes grew brighter and brighter when he heard this, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "You mean that by that time, we will become the only steel industry base on the continent?"

Fang Ruitao nodded and said, "That's right, you think that if we master the steel production of the entire continent, who will dare to declare war on us at that time." If we cut off the supply, the other side will lose the source of weapons, and with the wear and tear of weapons in wartime, who can compete with us. ”

The dwarf king said: "But now the Durrant Empire has not forbidden the steel products of other countries to flow into the Durant Empire? ”

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "Merchants are profit-seeking, and small people who are not rich in money like to buy bargains. As long as the people in the Durrant Empire need a large number of cheap steel products, some people will take the risk of smuggling, and when the time comes, not only will the products of the craftsmen's union still not be sold, but the Durrant Empire will lose a lot of taxes. ”

Fang Ruitao picked up a piece of fried ribs and took two bites, and finally suppressed the hunger in his stomach and said: "Think about it, according to this calculation, how much national strength can be lost in the Durrant Empire, and in the end, they can only give in and obediently dissolve their superior projects." It is estimated that in the end, they will only be able to feed some high-level craftsmen to serve their mysterious mechanical weapon legion. ”

"Mystic is a Mechanical Weapons Legion?" the Dwarven King had apparently not heard of the name.

Fang Ruitao smiled: "It's nothing, I'm not sure what this legion looks like, but I can guarantee that I have enough strength to fight against this mysterious force." ”

"Your Excellency, you have an urgent piece of information that has just been sent from the Wind and Cloud Empire. Liu Jinhui walked quickly to Fang Ruitao's side, reported the situation in a low voice, and handed over a piece of paper at the same time.

Fang Ruitao took the paper and only glanced at it, and his face suddenly showed a look of joy: "Great, Mavis actually betrayed the Durrant Empire and came to me." ”
