Chapter 29 Trade Negotiations (I)

"Hey, I'm talking about who. Are war mages really good? you're not talking nonsense, are you?" asked the girl, walking down the street with her hands behind her back, seemingly casually.

"Haha, of course it's no problem, as long as it's ......" Coincidentally, someone's newly issued Yin Ghost City badge trembled slightly, and then a voice came out.

"Is it Mr. David Bain?"

"It's me, you're it?"

"Personnel office. He replied, "Chief, Mr. Desoud, please come as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, I'll be right there. "Lucky, there's no need to make it up now. "Little sister, this master still has important things to do, I can't accompany you to play at home for the time being, you can go back to play in the mud alone. ”

"Cut, Miss Ben just got the prince's special training recommendation, and she was about to go there to pick up the project......"

After waiting for more than an hour in the meeting room of the personnel office, Mike waited for De Soud to be interviewed. Although this ghost prince is a necromancer who is close to two thousand years old, he doesn't feel much grim and dead in his body, and he looks more like a middle-aged officer who doesn't smile.

"This is Sergeant David Bain, who has officially agreed to leave the military because he was accepted as a disciple by a Grand Arcanist when he was on a mission on the Main Plane, and is now known as Mike Tang Seng, who has carved out a noteworthy territory on the Main Plane on his own. Desoud introduced the guests to the other two people present.

"This is my adjutant, Lieutenant Nicola Williams, who will be in charge of matters in the future. ”

"It's a blessing. "What a heroic beauty in military uniform, Desu is not old!

"This is Lieutenant Jimmy Adams, and he will be primarily responsible for the future affairs. ”

"It's a blessing. "Uncle, you don't maintain your condition very well, it's almost the Mediterranean, I think the dark elves' skills are good, do you need me to introduce you?

"Through the information you gave, we already have a certain degree of understanding of the territory situation, but it's not very clear yet, in what capacity did you apply for the garrison this time?" The different identities are also different from each other, although the most expected thing in Ghost City is "Sergeant David Bane, the former First Squadron of the Third Brigade of the First Expeditionary Division", but this is obviously not realistic.

"Sir Tang Seng, a disciple of the Great Arcanist, has come to discuss cooperation on behalf of the Joint Ruling Committee of Sanzang Town. "The former means that I expect the relationship between Sanzang and the Ghost City to be between Australia and the United Kingdom, not California and the United States, and the latter means that I have close and stable partners in Sanzang and do not want to sell their interests to a large extent.

Grand Arcanist Desoud nodded, it should be unexpected. Although Mr. Owo is extremely enthusiastic about the restoration of the country, he has little interest in joining the Netherworld City, and expects a looser form of federation, and as his disciple, it is normal to hold the same idea.

"In that case, what level of support do you want to receive, and what are you prepared to do in exchange?"

"The current expectation is for 200 fighters or spellcasters to go in batches, with no limit on the number of skilled personnel. The quid pro quo that could be given was the land, minerals, slaves, and semi-finished products of iron and steel products in the town of Sanzang. In addition, we hope to reach a cooperation intention with you in the deep processing of steel products and iron ore smelting. "Underground trade and arcane teachings are not uncommon, land and minerals are not necessarily valuable, slaves can only be said to be acceptable at best, and the key is to rely on steel stamping products that can be manufactured in large quantities.

"Oh, I wonder what a semi-finished piece of steel means?" the Grand Arcanist frowned imperceptibly. With this scale, it is already capable of opening up small settlements in many places on its own, and there is no need to go to the muddy waters of the fledgling town of Sanzang, even as a support for the potential of backward development. It's just that it's not good to refuse directly on Mr. Owo's face, so let's take a look at what the steel products he specifically mentioned.

"I've brought some samples here, please take a look. Mike opened the small pouch he had brought with him, and took out a large mess of other things in addition to the plate armor pieces he had shown to Sermena and the others.

The Grand Arcanist looked at the deputy one by one seriously but quickly, and then spoke, "The quality of the sword embryo is good, there is no problem. The armor is also not bad, but the size is a little too large. But the shield is not ideal, it is too thin, maybe you want to make up for it by increasing the arc, but it will bring difficulties to use. As for ......"

"Well, I think you might be misunderstood, it's actually a steel pot, a cooker, and there's no shield in the sample we brought. ”

"Oh?!" the Grand Arcanist raised an eyebrow, raising the quality of everyday goods to the point of being close to ordnance, which was quite significant. "Yield?"

"The monthly output of 1,000 sets of decks or 5,000 sword embryos, daily necessities are uncertain, and if necessary, the output can be increased by three times in a short period of time. ”

The Minister of Personnel, who had always had a serious expression, showed a rare smile, "It seems that it is necessary to ask Martikvatik and Carter to discuss this matter with you in detail." But not now, we can continue to discuss the development and cooperation of Sanzang Town. ”

If it weren't for the teacher saying that it was okay and the strength of Yin Soul City was strong, I really wouldn't dare to find someone to partner in arms trading. ’

"But before that, we have a little bit of trouble to deal with. Nicola, Jimmy, because of the accident involving this kind of secrecy, your memories need to be processed, relax and open your mind. The Minister of Personnel of the Grand Arcanist stood up and pressed the Heavenly Spirit Gai under his hand with black air.

‘...... The world of magic is terrifying. ’

"Sir Tang Seng's proposal is very reasonable, using Sanzang Town as a base for advancing is indeed very beneficial to my Yin Soul City. Please also tell us more about the specific situation of slaves. After sitting down again, the focus of the Minister of Personnel of the Grand Arcanist had naturally shifted to another.

"The slaves in Sanzang Town are currently divided into four races, and the number of adult laborers is 6,000 goblins and kobolds, 1,600 goblins, and 750 gnolls. In terms of family planning, the current number of non-laborers who mainly reproduce is 1,500 goblins, 500 kobolds, 500 jackals, and about 4,500 goblins and kobolds under 16 months, with an expected survival rate of 70%, and about 1,000 gnolls, with an expected survival rate of 80%. For the sake of stability, the plan will gradually reduce the proportion of goblins and form a slave structure dominated by three races: goblins, kobolds, and gnolls. ”

Goblins are creatures with an average height of about eighty centimeters, a thin build, and an average intelligence similar to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old minor, and can do most jobs. The biggest feature is that the reproductive ability is strong and the growth rate is fast, a female goblin can give birth once or twice a year, two or three times a year, two or three years old can work, and the body will mature at the age of six.

Kobolds are creatures with an average height of about 60 centimeters, a thin body, and an average intelligence similar to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old minor, and can do some jobs. Because of its claws and scales and dark vision, it is very good at mining and burrowing. The biggest feature is that the reproductive ability is extremely strong, the growth rate is extremely fast, a female kobold can lay eggs five or six times a year, four to eight eggs each time, can hatch within a month, more than a year old can work, about three years old body mature.

The gnoll is a creature with an average height of two meters, a body covered in fur, a sturdy physique, an average intelligence similar to that of an eight-nine-year-old minor, and capable of manual labor. The biggest feature is that the reproductive ability is strong and the growth rate is fast, a female jackal can give birth twice a year, one at a time, can work at about three years old, and the body is mature at about nine years old.

If you use the magic version of growth hormone that is the same as the earth, then the already fast development rate of the three major species can be doubled. The reason why only the number of infants and toddlers within the age of 16 months is counted is because Sanzang Town is using this, and the older ones are already teenagers who can do child labor. Although this is already quite anxious, the IQ ratio will be even more unbearable, but cattle and horses or something, is IQ important?

The number of newborns in the 16-month month period of the jackals has increased by 200 compared to more than a month ago, and it is also for similar reasons that the 4th order necromantic arcane embryo rapid development technique, the most important contribution of the omnipotent traverser and the dark elf student after returning to the surface.

Goblins and kobolds are small and weak, and although attacks on humans in the wild are common, they are usually not considered a real threat, and mass slavery is a cause for concern but not a cause for panic. The situation of the gnolls is quite different, the savage body and reckless personality and the habit of thinking with the stomach make them more suitable for the role of intelligent beasts than obedient slaves. If there were thousands of gnolls in the vicinity, almost any city leader would lose sleep as a result.

But the omnipotent traverser doesn't think so, he thinks that the gnolls are a good choice to solve the lack of human resources, and can complement the small and weak goblins well. As for the possible riots, I think that the magic is in the world, and the high-end mage I have will not care, you see that the Torre Empire has not always done this, and the gnoll slaves have already exceeded 500,000.

Goku didn't think there was anything wrong with it - he hadn't really thought about it at all, he was just a "human>ogre> bear goblin > gnoll".

Saar, on the other hand, doesn't even think about it.

Sermena only thinks that the gnolls are stupid, but there is no way, and she can only settle for it.

Coria didn't care, no matter how much the jackals rioted, they couldn't riot into the sea, and he felt that Mike should have thought about it a long time ago, and he would definitely be able to handle it well.

Dragon Palace felt that the development of Sanzang Town was quite good, and he did not plan to interfere.

Mr. Offett, Little Baker and the others were quite afraid of the gnoll and bear goblins at first, but it seemed that nothing had happened for more than two years, so they slowly relaxed their vigilance, and just left their wives and children in Centia.

No. 8 Luken, needless to say, how can they be afraid of their own kind.

Therefore, Sanzang Town did not feel that there was anything wrong with the rioter from top to bottom. Of course, they at least took into account that others might not agree with their own values, so when they attracted investment before, they only said that they were violentizing kobolds, and if the other party needed it, they didn't say a word about the jackals.

The thoughtful Minister of Personnel was a little worried, "Your territory is still shallow, will there be enough food if the population surges?"

Mike shrugged, "We already have 40,000 acres of farmland and are only ready to lease 20,000 acres, although the reclamation land is not very good, but there is plenty of water around the Moon Sea, and even if the yield is low, the annual output of 1,500 tons should be guaranteed." Besides, it's easy to ship by sea, and I still have a little money......"

‘...... You are too modest, if the production capacity of metal products is really as you say, it is more than a little money. ’

"In addition, we have been able to use a lot of skeletal cattle and horses, which has resulted in significant savings in feed consumption, and we have excavated a small river that can be transported for freight, which has significantly reduced transportation costs. Together, they allow us to feed more people with the same amount of food we produce. ”

"Well, great idea. "Using technology and capital advantages to improve efficiency and reduce livestock food consumption is indeed a good way to deal with food shortages, and Yin Soul City has always done this, although the specific methods are different. "In that case, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

The most important thing is that if you can do the best, if you can't succeed, you can also create incidents to attract attention, and reduce pressure for the return of Yin Ghost City in the future.

The rest was easy, and the two sides quickly agreed that they would send 200 elite warriors to the station in three batches within a year, supporting 20 instructors to assist in training the warriors, in addition to 100 technical personnel and corresponding equipment led by 3 Tier 6 mages to assist in the construction - of course, this assistance was by no means gratuitous, but Mike didn't care about it, except for one point.

"Can't you really invite a master who has mastered the 7th order of weather manipulation to stay there?" "It can both deter and regulate rainfall by force, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. The Minister of Personnel sighed, "The reason for this is confidential, but maybe you can learn something from your teacher." ”

In the Yin Soul City, the existences that can master the 7th order spells are all immortals, and these immortals are basically all Yin Souls. As a method of immortality that Yin Soul City is proud of, Yin Soul Transformation certainly has many advantages such as the high success rate of soul body separation, the low threshold, and the strength of the transformed person is not reduced, but there is also a very fatal shortcoming - while fusing a part of themselves with shadow matter and gaining ten times the lifespan, the Yin Souls also transform themselves into shadow creatures. The immediate consequence is that it becomes the same as the devil angels, it is difficult to stay in the main plane for a long time - although it is not impossible, it is either costly, or it must be premised on the return of the Yin City to the main plane, which is the main reason why the Yin City has not been able to establish any important stronghold in the main plane for thousands of years.

Since that's the case, it's impossible to think about it, it seems that you still have to wait until you learn the 7th order spell.

"If nothing else, we'll stop here today. The Minister of Personnel took the minutes of the meeting compiled by the female secretary and briefly skimmed through them, "By the way, Sir Tang Seng, we think that your application for special training is very well-reasoned, and the corresponding courses have been arranged for you, so don't be late from tomorrow." ”

"Nani?!! when did I apply for this?!" Mike was simply inexplicably surprised, I was visiting the other world on behalf of the earth, and time was so precious that millions of seconds were so precious, how could I have the spare time to do that.

"Oh, Nicola?" the Minister of Personnel frowned.

"It was Miss Taylor, who came with Sir Tang Seng who just applied for the time of selecting a special training program for herself, she shouldn't have left yet, I'll confirm it right away. Xiao Mi, the minister of personnel with a cold temperament in military uniform, said.

"Well, verify the situation and handle it according to the rules. The Minister of Personnel with a serious expression nodded, "Out of consideration for the responsibility of the soldiers, if Sir Tang Seng has no intention of special training, he must first complete a four-week supplementary military training before he is eligible for soldiers, and the relevant matters are arranged by Nicola immediately." ”

“...... I would like to learn more about the special training first. "Pit daddy, why do you still need military training with a few barbarians, is it possible that you even barbarians are more expensive than other places?

"Nicola, Jimmy, over to you. If nothing else, that's all for today. ”

"Yes. "Okay, you get busy first. ”

A moment later, in another conference room.

"Uncle David, I just think the special training will help you a lot......" The weak and helpless perpetrator wept.

"Nicola, what will happen if the application is indeed fake?" After a cursory comparison of the training programs, Mike felt that the 8-hour daily supplemental military training package was more suitable for him than the 14-hour daily high-intensity special training package that "will help him a lot".

"Deprivation of citizenship after three years of hard labor. Sir Tang Seng, as Miss Taylor's uncle, can you bear to ruin your niece's good future?!" The Captain looked at someone as if he were looking at a scumbag, "Also, please call me Lieutenant Williams." ”

“...... Of course not, I just want her to understand the seriousness of the matter. "It's really a cheat, it's cheap and there's really no good goods, the ancients don't deceive me!

"Uncle David is the best!" Lynn let out a sigh of relief, "I know it's wrong, and I won't dare to ...... again"

After going out.

"Tell me honestly, give me that kind of super hell training, what kind of heart are you comfortable with?"

"People think of you as the real Uncle David, willing to risk the huge risk of being defiled and imprisoned, and they want to do your best wholeheartedly. The girl walked down the stairs with her hands behind her back and her head held high, "Besides, that level of training, even a weak girl like me can fully withstand it, you are a strong and strong master, tsk......"

"......" Mike was silent for a while, and carefully read the content of the special training twice before he suddenly realized, "It turns out that the second half is aimed at breaking through the intermediate level of actual combat training, and it requires the trainees to be protected by the same team of high-level professionals in a group of ten. It's really 'wholeheartedly treating me as the real Uncle David'. ”

“......”

People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake!

"Plan 3 is progressing well and has been successful in inducing the target to agree to the training. However, compared to the previous projections, there is a significant deviation in the target ability, the ability to mass-produce ordnance, and the potential for mass production of slaves, and appropriate support can provide an important boost to the city's return plan. The plan is in dire need of revision. ”

"Oh?"

"With the Orcs of the Northland regrouping and Baldur's Gate moving around, I think this is an opportunity to start a disruptive plan and test the production capacity and quality of the target's ordnance. ”

"Yes. ”
