"Damn the Senate, why don't you allow the legion to expand!"

Hearing Pong's words, Ludon gritted his teeth angrily.

The Senate did not allow the legions to be expanded, nor did Ponger allow them to control more legions.

Luden's production line is still producing a steady stream of weapons and equipment.

If work is stopped... For Ludon, the loss was not huge.

He can completely put the smelted iron ore in the warehouse to eat ashes, these things are strategic resources, and their value will not depreciate.

As for the artificial... Please, what's the difference between manual and free in this era?

The dwarves are all slaves, and with the faith bonus of the Holy Mine, as long as they are provided with enough wine and food, they can work day and night.

If the dwarves have money in their pockets, they work in the sacred mines, and even give Ludon money!

Damn, why are these guys slaves?

If these dwarves are civilians, not only does Lu Deng not care about the dwarves' food and lodging expenses, but he can even collect a part of the blessing fee to let the other party come to work in the holy mine!

How beautiful is it to pay to work in the Holy Mine?!

As for the miners... Ludon rarely used slaves, and hired civilians.

He looked down on slave owners, and even more so on slavery.

Slaves are always clumsy, often fishing, and unmotivated to work.

It's like a miner.

Luden announced that it would provide a tiered incentive for production capacity in the case of a guaranteed salary.

In theory, a miner can earn up to 20 meters a day!

One day, earn someone else's salary for ten days, or even half a month!

On the day the reward was announced, the mine's output doubled!

People are digging like they don't want to die, and they have blisters on their hands, which bleed and scab when they burst, and no one pays attention to them.

Where can I find such a good employer as Mr. Luden?

Luden, on the other hand, only makes a small, meager, reasonable profit.

Ludon can indeed slow down.

However, if you make less Miso, isn't that just a loss of money?!

Luton would never allow that to happen!

Never!

Ludon, pacing back and forth in the house, began to think about where there was still iron.

Tools?

He had already dumped it, and the trade in farm tools in the Divine State had been substantially monopolized by Luden.

For this reason, the slash ploughing hall also went to the greedy palace to complain, which made the slash ploughing hall how to organize production?

It's time to take care of it!

The practice of the greedy palace is also very simple.

Luden was forced to split the farm tool sales store under his name, and at the same time, Luden was required not to sell at a price below cost.

Luden, who was furious, went to Justice Gurred with the account books that day and lodged a serious protest.

On that day, there was a curse from the depths of the palace of greed,

"Your selling price is lower than someone else's cost!"

"What? Do you still have profits? I don't believe it, you bring the account books! ”

"Luden, you earn 3.5 meters with a 5-meter hoe, and you can do this kind of thing?!"

“......”

Justice Gurred never expected that Ludon would be able to reduce the cost to such an extent!

It's outrageous!

Justice Grued quickly realized something else, and raised his eyebrows,

"Wait! The equipment you sold to the Temple of War..."

The cost of agricultural tools is so low, and Luden still has such a high profit when it is sold below the market price. …

And what about weapons?

You must know that the purchase of the War Hall has always been based on the market price!

Moreover, the goods provided by Ludon are indeed worth every penny, so the Greedy Palace has never felt that there is any problem, and the transaction is going on normally.

Ludon immediately recaptured the account books and changed his face,

"When we produce weapons, we use stricter and more advanced production processes, and the cost has risen a lot uncontrollably!"

Ludon cried out,

"I'm even ready to apply for a stipend!"

Justice Greed: ......

Lao Tzu believes in your evil!

How can a person be so shameless?

In terms of farm tools, there is no hope.

Other markets that require iron have been seized by Luden.

What else...

Ludon paced in the small building, pondering the question.

Outside the small building, a pair of eyes stared at him through the crack in the window.

The woman smiled.

A hundred years ago, Mr. Ludon was worried about the same thing.

Steel is unsalable!

Help us!

On that occasion, Lutdon used iron wherever he could use it.

What is he going to do this time?

While Ludon pondered the question, Awu and Spartak sat outside the door, blowing a pleasant autumn breeze.

Spartak untied the water bladder and handed it to Awu first.

After a few months of getting along, he was quite satisfied with this student.

Awu is a very good learner and sensible.

The only downside is that Awu has never been treated like a slave.

This made Awu's situation very awkward.

It was difficult for Spartak to consider him one of his own.

Ah Wu sniffed the water bladder, shook his head and refused,

"No, Mr. Spartacus, Mr. Ludon won't let me drink."

Spartak retracted the water bladder, took a sip, and let out a pleasant sigh.

Awu hesitated for a moment and persuaded,

"Teacher Spartacus, you'd better drink less."

Spartak nodded,

"I know that good wine always kills people's fighting spirit, but proper enjoyment is for better fighting."

"No, not for that reason, I mean sugar."

Aoubi paddled and didn't know how to describe it.

"You mean lead sugar?"

Spartak frowned.

Sugar is a luxury.

The average poor simply cannot afford to spend.

Even citizens of the Divine State can only buy white lead sugar, which is made from grapes and other fruits in a lead pot, and the price is relatively affordable, compared to honey.

Adding lead sugar to wine not only prevents the wine from spoiling, but also increases the sweetness and makes the wine more delicious.

For Spartacus, this was a luxury.

"Yes, lead sugar."

Awu repeated,

"Mr. Ludon once said that this thing is not good, it is poisonous."

Then, Awu introduced himself to Spartakus.

In the small building, everything is insulated with lead.

There were a few pieces of lead sugar, but they were used to entertain guests.

In Mr. Ludon's words, when he commanded to add sugar, add normal sugar.

Only in cases where special emphasis is placed on the addition of lead sugar to the guests.

Of course, Mr. Ludon's cup was unadded.

In addition to Xiaolou, Al was also warned by Lutdon to stay away from anything related to lead. …

When Ludon and Ponger brought it up, Ponger's attitude was clear:

"I drink honey."

Luden: ......

Ponger doesn't like sweets, and even if he does, he eats special offerings.

Lead sugar?

What is that?

In any case, Mr. Ludden's concept of healthy living has influenced some people.

Justice Gourd also began to reject lead candy.

As for the university scholars... They live a very simple life, and the tea they drink is the worst quality, and there is no sugar added at all.

"Lead is poisonous?"

After listening to Awu's words, Spartak looked at the water bladder in his hand as if he were looking at a snake and scorpion.

He did not doubt Mr. Luden's words.

Mr. Lutden, one of the most learned men he had ever met, had a place in Spartak's heart that surpassed even that of a scholar.

In ancient books, Mr. Ludon always finds all kinds of strange things, and then turns decay into magic.

For Mr. Luden, Spartak has only one assessment:

"It's a pity, he's not a slave."

If Mr. Ludon were a slave, how good it would be!

Spartak thought of forcibly taking Mr. Ludon away and taking him elsewhere, so that Mr. Ludon would be reduced to slavery.

Ahem, it's different from the plot of ordinary small movies.

Spartak just wanted Mr. Ludon to do something for the slaves.

With Mr. Luden's talent, he should be able to do it easily.

It's a pity that Spartak abandoned the idea.

On the one hand, there are always people from the Inquisition around Mr. Ludon.

As long as Spartak made any moves, he could not succeed.

On the other hand... Mr. Ludon's health, it's too bad.

He was always coughing, and he was so tired when he climbed up to the top of the city that a carriage ride would cost him half his life.

Spartak was afraid of tossing down, and before the great cause was accomplished, Ludon died first...

Spartak asked, frowning,

"Why are we building water pipes made of lead if lead is toxic?"

"What?"

Spartak and Awu were interrupted by Ludon.

Apparently, Ludon heard the keyword, interrupting his thoughts.

Ludon asked,

"You said that the water pipes of the Divine State are all made of lead?"

Spartak nodded and asked rhetorically, "Doesn't Mr. Ludon know?" ”

Luton really doesn't know!

After he entered the Divine State, he observed a lot of things, learned a lot, and did a lot.

But a wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts.

Ludon really didn't know that the water pipes of the Divine State were all made of lead!

As if he had discovered a new world, he grabbed his trench coat and rushed out of the small building.

"Prepare the car!"

"To the Senate!"

Like a high-spirited gladiator, Ludon walked into the supreme gladiatorial arena.

He said firmly,

"I will bring good fortune to the state of God!"

...

Inside the Senate,

The elders who were hurriedly summoned have not yet figured out what is going on.

Justice Proud, who presided over the meeting, stressed to Ludon that

"Tribune Luden, the Divine State is now at war, and most of your authority has been withdrawn, and I want you to know that."

Ludon nodded, signaling that he understood.

He's here today, and he has more important things to do!

"Ladies and gentlemen, from ancient books, I have discovered a shocking fact..."...

As soon as Luden spoke, the senators began to roll their eyes en masse.

Ancient books, ancient books, especially ancient books!

Are you a tribune or an archaeologist?

How many things are in ancient books, can you finish talking about them all at once?

"Lead, poisonous!"

When Luton said this, the senators were not shocked.

After all, some of Ludon's conversations with Ponger and Al will also leak out.

Lutdon's belief that lead is toxic has been heard of by everyone.

What's more, the cheap goods like lead sugar can't get into the eyes of the elders.

Why do you bring this up all of a sudden?

Lutdon changed his words,

"The water pipes of the Divine State are lead pipes."

Hiss –

The elders found that it was not that simple!

When it came time to see the poor dagger, Ludon proposed,

"I suggest .... Replace lead pipes with iron pipes! ”

Luden assured the senators that the production of iron pipes was absolutely sufficient!

Moreover, for the sake of the lives and safety of the citizens and civilians of the Divine State, Ludon is willing to endure the pain and sell the iron pipe cheaply!

He really, I cried to death.

"Mr. Luden, I must warn you of one thing!"

The elder said angrily,

"Even if the lead pipe is toxic, the cost of the iron pipe can be reduced to a tolerable range... But iron pipes can corrode, it's not as durable as you think! ”

Although he is a patriarch, he still has common sense in life.

"Will it break?"

In the face of the elder's questioning, Lutdon's eyes have changed to the appearance of Miso, and he sees a larger market.

"Great! You can change it again! ”

Lead sugar is poisonous, don't eat it! . .
