"Do you think the fare is cheap?" said the conductor, a woman from a local Indina, with a sincere smile, "The magic car used in public transportation is purchased by the state, and in operation, the state finance also subsidizes it, and the money you pay is only enough for us to pay our salary, but it is also handed over, and the company has regular state auditors to check the accounts, so that every penny can be spent on the customer's head." ”

"How much does this country cost?" Robin couldn't figure out.

"The state collects all kinds of taxes, and after the tax is collected, it is used for various undertakings of the state, and public transportation is one of them, and the tax revenue comes from the people and is used for the people. The conductor said.

Robin's mind was shocked again, and Robin said, "Isn't there anyone who embezzles in this?"

"Of course there is, but the law is very strict in this regard, officials have to disclose their assets on stage, their income must be reviewed, and if the source of their assets is unknown, they will not only have to recover the fine, but also face the maximum death penalty. Only last year, he was sentenced to death and confiscated all his property after he was said to be an early member of Sea Eagle Island, who founded the country of Yi in the year of Qi Nian. The conductor said disdainfully.

Robin only felt that the success of Yi Anguo was not a fluke, and along the way, they saw more novelties, just like the magic car did not have a horse, but it could run, and it ran fast, and the road was wide and smooth, and it was like a stone, they all thought that it was a magic that turned mud into stone, and after asking, they knew that it was an industrial product, a product called cement.

When they arrived in Ian City, several people got out of the car and asked about Wang Qinian's residence, and Robin did not rest. Directly led everyone to Wang Qinian's villa, this time it was the residence of the national leader, not significant, but very elegant, it was a small villa with a single body, when entering the villa, they were stopped, because there were guards guarding, carrying guns on their backs and knives hanging from their waists. Wear a uniform. He came up and gave a military salute.

"Please stop, this is a private house, do you have an invitation?"

"We are friends of the king of Qi Nian, and we have something to look for him. Robin said.

"I'm sorry. If there is official business. Please go to the Ministry of Magic building and find Minister Wang. If it is a private matter, it is necessary to have a password from the king or his family. The guard said politely.

Andrea was anxious and said, "I'm Qi Nian's girlfriend." Why don't you let us in?"

"I'm sorry, Miss, Minister Wang has a girlfriend, it's Miss Tina, you are here for the first time, you need Minister Wang's dictation or his handwriting. ”

"I'm so angry!" Andrea said as she stomped her foot and said angrily, several people looked at each other, and Robin said, "Let's just go to the Ministry of Magic building." ”

"Sister Andrea, why are you here?" A voice came, and everyone looked back, but it was Tina and Xiaoshuang, who came back from the Ian Knight Academy, and happened to meet Robin and them, and when Xiaoshuang saw Andrea, he flew up and said.

"We came to look for Qi Nian, but we couldn't get in. Andrea said huffingly.

When Tina heard this, she smiled and said to the guards, "They are friends of Qi Nian, let them go!"

The guard saluted and got out of the way, and Tina said to Robin, "You have come just in time, and it won't be long before Qi Nian will come back, go and sit down first." ”

Several people followed Tina in, to the door of a villa, the house is not big, there is a small garden, Tina came to the door, saw a woman dressed as a servant cutting flowers, saw Tina coming back, stopped: "Lady Tina, you are back, are you a guest behind?"

"Tiney, get ready, these guests are friends of the minister, and they are having dinner at home. ”

"Okay, I'll go get ready. Tini said, bowed, and went in.

When Andrea heard this, her face changed: "You and Qi Nian are married?"

"Not yet, but Qi Nian has promised to marry me, and the marriage will be completed next year, when my parents come. Tina said slyly.

"If you are not married, you will be called Madame, hmph!" said Andrea, dissatisfied.

"The people are screaming nonsense, and they can't be said about them, they can't be taken seriously. Tina said seemingly unconcerned, inevitably smug in her heart, and Andrea snorted and ignored her.

Sitting down in the living room, Tina and Robin chatted, while Andrea chatted with Xiaoshuang, the little trick between the two women, everyone could see it clearly, Tina regarded herself as the hostess, but Andrea pretended not to see, and chatted hotly with Xiaoshuang, Xiaoshuang was simple-minded, and did not see the greasy between them, while everyone else saw it.

Cecilia lamented in her heart, she didn't know what evil her sister had fallen into, and it was clear that Wang Qinian had Tina, so what kind of fun was there to make in it.

After a while, Wang Qinian came back, and when he arrived at home, he was surprised: "Robin, why are you here?"

Robin laughed, "We're here to beg you this time?"

Wang Qinian smiled: "You are a prince, if you have anything to ask me, I beg you to be about the same." ”

"To be serious, your rear-loading guns are very good, and I came here to buy rear-loading guns. Robin said it directly.

"This is easy to do, let me say hello for you, although I don't care directly, it's still quite easy, you only need a rear-loading gun, don't want anything else? I heard that they have developed a small cannon, a small caliber, easy to carry, only two people can operate, the shell is flowering after firing, it is a good suppression weapon for infantry. At present, Yi'anguo's arms are exported in large quantities, of course, they are all paper shell bullets, compared with the front-loading gun, both the firing speed and the power of the bullet have increased a lot, and the most important thing is that there are rifling in the gun, which is a military secret.

"Is it expensive? I've taken out all my savings over the years. ”

"It's not expensive, the price is comparable to the general front-loading gun, the cannon is more expensive, mainly ammunition, we are propellant and bullet together, extremely convenient, the bullet is mainly lead bullet, very powerful, even low-level knights can't stop it, knights will die if they are not careful, I build yì you five hundred guns with a field gun, the cannon is very light, equipped with wheels, it is very convenient to tow away, in addition, do you want to fly a small boat, a no more than a thousand gold coins, but you need the ability to drive, with a magic core or magic crystal as power, on the top of the enemy's head, throw bombs down, it is also a good choice。 Wang Qinian persuaded vigorously.

Robin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he was tempted and said, "Can you see the sample?"

"I'll go with you tomorrow and go to the guys in the logistics department. ”

The next day, Wang Qinian accompanied Robin to the logistics department, and when the guys from the logistics department heard that they were here to buy arms, their eyes immediately lit up, and they led them to the shooting range, where a series of guns were laid out, and the profiteers in the logistics department knew all kinds of guns well:" This gun is very long, with an adult height, equipped with a bayonet, it can completely replace a spear, the bullet is a 0.25-inch bullet, the range reaches 1,400 cubits, and there is enough lethality within a thousand cubits, it is called Type 00, which is its improved type, the bayonet is removed, the length of the gun is shortened, the bullet is the same, but it is more suitable for cavalry, the range is much shorter, but it can also reach 700 cubits, it is called the Cavalry Lance Type 01 ......"

That guy was talking like a river, selling guns hard, Wang Qinian heard this, his heart moved, it's time to unify the measurement system.

Robin picked up all kinds of guns, loaded the bullets, aimed at the distant target, tested them one by one, felt all aspects of the guns, and the crisp sound of gunfire rang out from time to time, and finally Robin chose two, one was the Type 00 rifle, only two hundred were ordered, and the other gun was not so long, it was the Type 01 improved, which was longer than the cavalry gun, especially the barrel was not much shortened, but the range was more than a hundred cubits less than the rifle, in fact, the distance was so far that for ordinary soldiers, it was not clear at all.

The guns were equipped with 10 rounds of ammunition, a total of 1,000 guns, and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition were bought, and at the instigation of the logistics personnel, four field guns, 400 shells, two airships, and more than 200 aviation hand-thrown ammunition were bought.

"Do you transport it yourself or by Yi'anguo, we can supply it to your door, the cost is very low, is it a discount for you?"

"How's the price?"

The logistics department quoted a price, Robin thought about it, nodded and agreed, when they came, the passenger ship they took, although there was a warship escort, it was still not insured, and the cost of the road was not low, after going back, it was calculated that it was lower than the fare, so they decided to deliver it to the door, took out the money from the ring, and paid the bill, they originally wanted to use the ring to load the gun, but found that the ring could not fit now, because there were four cannons and two airships, and it was simply escorted by Yi Anguo.

Although Robin is gone, the military also sent two warships to set off together, Wang Qinian later learned that it was originally two retired warships, and now Yi'an has begun to build ships with steel, traditional wooden ships have been decommissioned, due to the use of magic power, the ship no longer needs sails, the retirement of sail warships, on the one hand, to deal with other countries, on the other hand, to do transportation, moreover, the retired warships have been transformed, although the number of guns has decreased, but the cargo capacity has risen, although they are delivered to the door, but also a large number of other goods, a trip down, not only will not lose, but also make a lot of money。

However, Andrea stayed, Wang Qinian had a headache, facing the two girls, Wang Qinian found himself in a dilemma, the blessings of Qi people are not so easy to enjoy, Wang Qinian found that he was not a dedicated person, the two girls were harmonious on the surface, but behind their backs they were coquettish to Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian was a legendary mage, but he was helpless against this situation.

"Just marry the two together. Talon said nonchalantly.

"Forget it, you two marry together, besides, although there are no wives among our magicians, it is not absolutely none. Bister said that he was a native of Northland and took the issue lightly. (To be continued......)
