Pointing to the spinning machine placed in the middle of the room, he said: "This is a brand new spinning machine that we have just improved the design of, called Nicole Spinning Machine, which can spin multiple cotton threads at one time, and the efficiency is eight times that of ordinary spinning machines. ”

"Eight times that of an ordinary spinning machine?" Zalanda's eyes lit up as she looked at the relatively complex tools on the ground.

As the lord of the city, of course, she knows the value contained in it.

This means that she can produce cotton yarn with only one person, which would have required eight people to work.

"How come there are only spinning machines? Don't have a loom? Zalanda looked around and asked greedily, "It's not like your style, only improve the spinning machine, not the loom." ”

"The loom does, but not this time." Gavin smiled, "I hope to be able to sign an order agreement with my eldest sister, and all the cotton yarn produced by Daruma in the last two years will be sold to me, and a large number of cotton plants will be encouraged." ”

This is how Gavin broke out of Sambia's monopoly on cotton in the valley.

The hand of the merchant council of Sambia has not yet reached for Tesser.

And Gavin is not ready to buy cotton directly, but directly eat ready-made cotton yarn.

Spinning is a labor-intensive industry, and Tessel has a demographic advantage over the valley.

Zalanda had a look on her face that knew there was foreshadowing behind you, "Why?" ”

"Last year, the gods came, and the pirate fleet in the Falling Star Sea was severely hit, and canvas was in short supply, but the cotton market was monopolized by Sambia, and I was ready to seize market share with them." Gavin told the truth.

After all, the two territories are far apart, and there is no conflict in interests, only complementarity.

It is in response to what is said in the book of war, distant friends and close attacks.

"You are shrewd, put the newly developed spinning machine in Tassel, which can not only reduce production costs, but also prevent being imitated by Sambia in a short period of time, and you can fight a price war with them, but unfortunately the two sides are far away, otherwise your price war will be more advantageous." Although Zalanda did not answer openly, he had already given an answer from the side.

This is a sure-fire deal, and there is naturally no reason to refuse, especially when there are still many places for the two sides to cooperate.

Gavin couldn't hide his smugness in his expression and said: "Don't worry, I have other ways to save costs, to ensure that the group of profiteers in Sambia who can keep the price down have no way to live, and tear up their monopoly in the valley, provided that you produce enough spinning yarn here, and I will eat as much as I want, half the price of cotton yarn in the existing market." ”

"Half the price of cotton yarn in the existing market?" Zalanda did quick mental arithmetic.

At first glance, it sounds like a very bad thing when the price is pushed down by half.

But if this is based on eight times the output, it is a huge profit, because spinning labor accounts for the majority of the value of cotton yarn.

Gavin suggested on the side: "Before I came, I didn't expect that Dalauma's population was so dense and there was such a surplus of labor, so I only brought the household ones over, and I also had the industrial ones there, which could increase the one-time yarn production rate to dozens of times with the help of water power."

Therefore, I suggest that we set up a joint venture factory, a large-scale spinning factory, with technology and manpower and material resources.

It can not only solve the problem of surplus labor in a part, but also make a stable and huge income in your hands, so that you can do more things. ”

"With the help of hydropower? Spinning rate to provide dozens of times? Joint venture? Labor surplus? ”

She understood every word Gavin said, but when they joined forces to form a new term, it seemed a bit of a misunderstanding.

The industrial sprouts of Faeron have already begun to appear, but they are mainly concentrated in large cities with high populations, such as Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep.

Tessel, who has been fighting by warlords for many years, will not become a fertile ground for the germination of industry, but a desert.

Gavin patiently asked Zalanda about basic economics, in fact, he had not studied it systematically, but he was familiar with his ears and eyes, and his knowledge was stronger than that of the native natives of Feren.

Not only did Zalanda listen attentively, but even Nora and Copperfield listened with relish, and there was a feeling of being stunned.

Zalanda finally made a decision: "This matter is so decided, you can take the plan, and I will implement it." ”

That's where Zalanda is smart.

This aspect is not what she is good at, and she doesn't think that she can understand it once she listens to it, and she does it better than Gavin.

Instead of this, it is better to leave the formulation of the entire plan to Gavin to do, and finally evaluate and knock the board by himself.

One is to start from nothing, the other is to pick thorns from it, which is simpler, it goes without saying.

"Okay." Gavin didn't refuse, and directly agreed.

You should practice in advance to prepare for the construction of a factory on the other side of the valley in the future.

"If it's convenient for the eldest sister, we can leave for the valley." Gavin suggested.

"In such a hurry?" Zalanda was taken aback, "I haven't made any arrangements on my side, and if I don't show up for a long time, there will probably be turmoil." ”

"Not a day? Let's go now, and we'll be back tomorrow morning. Gavin made everything clear.

"One day? You're ready to use teleportation! Zalanda instantly understood how Gavin had come to Tether.

After all, when it comes to their position, time is very precious.

It's not uncommon to spend some money and find someone to open a portal and teleport over long distances.

Gavin pointed to the dog demon lying in the shadows, "It has the ability to teleport, although it can only be used once a day, but it is convenient to run to Tesser once a day." ”

After thinking about it carefully, Zalanda nodded and said, "If it's just one day, it's not a big problem, and there are no other important things on Dalauma's side. ”

"To Master Gavin's territory? Can I come along? Nora asked.

In her eyes, Gavin has been a mystery for the past six months, full of endless attraction.

"The two of us can't disappear at the same time." Zalanda shook her head and said, "If anything happens during my absence, only you can guard it." ”

Gavin said on the side: "You also saw just now, between our two territories, there are still many places that need to cooperate, and the exchanges will become more and more frequent, if you want to visit me, there will be opportunities in the future, maybe one day, I will really seconded you." ”

"Okay." Nora was a little disappointed and said, "If you have such an opportunity in the future, you must take me with you." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Gavin turned to Copperfield and said, "General, next, you have two ten days of free movement, when the time comes, how many old troops and sailors you can gather, please arrive at Rauma to gather, don't be reluctant, to protect yourself, Nora, the general's preparations for a long journey, I will trouble you." ”

Copperfield's influence was mainly on the coast of Tesser, and he arrived at Rauma first mainly to introduce him to Zalanda.

"Wrap it up on me." Nora patted her chest.

"Rest assured, lord, I know the measure, my enemies are mainly at sea, not on the ground, and besides, I am dead in the eyes of everyone." Copperfield responded with a smile.

"General, don't be careless, many of Tether's old nobles are rotten in their bones, and they definitely don't want to see a living Last Watcher appear, especially if you're ready to recruit subordinates from them." Zalanda's expression was solemn.

This is her personal experience in the past six months, and after a little muttering, she said to Nora: "Draw Darren out and send a squadron of elite rangers to assist General Copperfield throughout the process." ”

"Yes." Nora bowed to the order.

Hearing a somewhat familiar name, it took two or three seconds for Gavin to match it with the figure of a thin, stubborn and hard-working little boy, and asked curiously, "Is this Darren you are talking about, is this Darren I know?" ”

Zalanda smiled and nodded: "It's that Darren, the one who helped you send letters and books, and received scrap manuscripts, he is very promising now, not only opened the professional level, but also became a battlefield spellcaster, and has a very high ability to comprehend and use tactics, especially good at riding and riding tactics that combine law."

He calls himself your student now, and I'll meet him when I have time. ”

Gavin couldn't hide the stunned on his face, "Even if you don't say it, I will do it, but I didn't expect that I inadvertently helped you dig a good seedling." ”

"Don't put gold on your face, even if it is not for you, I will dig out this seedling myself, but because of you, it was in advance." Zalanda did not top Gavin this time, but demolished the stage behind his back.

"Haha...... Anyway, you can't deny my credit and go. Gavin beckoned to the Inudemon, telling him to open the portal and return directly to the Vizeme Manor.

As soon as the power of the teleportation spell receded, Gavin's expression suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but glance at Zalanda, "War." ”

The deafening shouts of killing came from the direction of the Yevon Pond.

It was a coincidence that he had been away from the Land of the Three Rivers for only a day, and had only left for Tesel yesterday, and today the enemy had come to his door.

"Andrew, you take the city lord of Zalanda to follow, and I'll go to the front to see the situation first." Gavin spread his energy dragon wings and soared into the air, and without saying a word, flew in the direction where the shouts of killing came.

Before he could fly a few hundred meters, a long hiss was heard, and Luna flew towards Gavin in the emerald flames.

Gavin didn't talk nonsense, and asked as he rode onto her back, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"It's a group of mercenaries without a number, who entered the Yewen pond on a merchant ship, and suddenly launched an attack, they have successfully landed on the beach, and are assembling, the number is no less than two thousand, and several adults such as Broken Thorn, Black Heather, and Wuliu have led the Enlightenment Tree to meet the battle."

Half-Moon Pony is trying his best to rush to the battlefield with Gavin while explaining the situation, which is another benefit of the Wisdom Mount.

"A mercenary without a number?"

Gavin couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.

In this case, it is impossible to suspect that the second family is the handiwork of the rich people in Sambia, and it is nothing more than a question of which one.

"Just two thousand miscellaneous mercenaries? All infantry? Gavin asked.

"There are eighteen longships in total, and it is impossible to carry more soldiers, all of them are infantry." Luna replied with certainty.

"Two thousand infantry, who gave them the guts?" Gavin was a little shocked.

Not shocked by the strength of the other party, but weakness.

On the side of the Land of Three Rivers, although no regular army has been formed, the military force is not weak at all.

Regardless of the tree people, there are already twenty-three Enlightenment Trees alone, all of which are behemoths of more than eight meters.

An ordinary sword slashing at them is like tickling them.

It is impossible to cut them down without twenty or thirty axes.

And they can slap an adult strong man into a meatloaf with a casual slap, even if it is a warrior in heavy armor, unless it is a warrior, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold them two punches.

Or rather, there are a large number of spellcasters hidden among them—spellcasters who specialize in fire.

In addition to black heather and five willows, because there is a lot of negative energy in the body, there is a certain resistance to flames.

The other Initiation Treants and Initiation Trees are all Fire Vulnerable, and the Fire damage is doubled for them.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
