Chapter 166: The Self-Treasured Refiner of the Broom
"Call Uncle Lee. Ling Xiyue ordered.
The herald next to him immediately took the order and went to call Li Xiaoxiang.
"Do you think the benefits for them are not enough?" Hearing Ling Xiyue go to call Li Xiaoxiang, Jiang Ming immediately understood what Ling Xiyue meant, after all, Li Xiaoxiang was in charge of internal affairs, and it was also his duty to pay the salaries of those craftsmen.
Ling Xiyue bowed her head and said, "I believe that if there are enough interests, anything can be discussed." This benefit is not only the benefit of money, but also fame, status, and the opportunity to forge a higher divine soldier. If they were really qualified forging masters, then they must have hidden in their hearts a desire to create a divine weapon that surpassed the immortal weapon. ”
The military advisor was stunned, he had already prepared the forging master's argument that he was not interested in profit, but he didn't expect Ling Xiyue to say this, making his words forcibly swallowed into his stomach.
Ling Xiyue was sometimes unreliable enough to make him angry, but sometimes he could think of places that others couldn't think of, which made him feel even more tightness in his chest.
"There are more than a hundred masters who can forge four-layer stacked weapons, and many of them are limited by technology and experience, and the three masters who can forge five-layer stacks do have the desire to build higher-grade weapons, but they are not willing to pin their hopes on others, and they prefer to build divine weapons by themselves. The military advisor thought about it, and organized the language on the spot.
For Ling Xiyue and Jiang Ming, it was their goal to carry forward the martial arts, but they didn't care who the people who carried the martial arts were, nor did they care if their contributions were the greatest, what they cared about was whether the martial arts were carried forward. If martial arts have been carried forward, then they will not tailor low-level exercises for ordinary people, but will focus on improving themselves.
However, those craftsmen are different, they have pursuits, but it is their personal pursuit, they are eager for their own breakthroughs, not technological progress.
At this time, Li Xiaoxiang also came to the mansion and said, "Meet the Holy Warrior." ”
"Li Bo doesn't need to be polite, I just want to ask, how are those refining masters treated?" Ling Xiyue asked bluntly.
Li Xiaoxiang said: "The magic weapons of the forging masters are hard to find, and in terms of wealth, they have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of their lives, but people's ** is endless." ”
When he said this, he didn't continue, he was a very cautious person, this kind of arranger refining master's words, he only dared to say it in front of Ling Xiyue, but his natural character didn't allow him to say too much.
"Do they have any other concerns? For example, the disciples of the church, starving to death of the master. Jiang Ming asked.
This was mentioned by the military advisor before, but he brought it up again.
Li Xiaoxiang said: "Uncle doesn't know, although the refining masters are strong, they are like that
The exercise method, which has been in the environment of the fire room for a long time, will damage their body, so they are almost useless when they are over forty years old, and only those who have passed the age will accept apprentices and hand over the physical work to the apprentices. If they take in apprentices too early, then they will reduce a lot of works at their peak, and if they don't have enough works, then how will they take apprentices? Who will take them seriously. ”
The military advisor thoughtfully: "In this way, I think I have done something." ”
There are also reasons why they cherish themselves, but they still have to leave a way back for themselves after all.
If you don't leave yourself a way back, middle-aged scenery, there are many desolate masters after middle age, as for old age? Hehe, in this world, few people under the holy realm can live to old age.
"What is the price of a three-layer weapon, what is the purchase price of the army, and what is the price of a four-layer?" Jiang Ming suddenly asked.
"If it is a war knife, the price is two hundred taels of silver, and the purchase price of the Wuhou Mansion is one hundred and fifty taels, but it will provide them with enough materials, saving them time and material costs. Subtracting the expenditure on materials, they could net a hundred taels, which was already a high income, but considering the cost of their studies and the refining tools that had damaged their bodies, such an income was reasonable. ”
Although Jiang Ming only asked about the price, Li Xiaoxiang didn't wait for Jiang Ming to ask again, so he said everything, "And the price of the fourth-layer weapon is two thousand taels to five thousand taels of silver, and our purchase price is one thousand taels to two thousand taels." As for the cost, it is not much higher than the three-fold weapon, after all, they rely on the process, not the material itself. If good materials are used, of course the price will be more expensive. ”
Ten times the price of the same material. Jiang Ming had a new understanding of the importance of refining technology.
"So, how do they usually spend?" Ling Xiyue asked.
"Cultivating martial arts requires the assistance of medicinal materials, no matter how much money they can spend, let alone for the sake of future generations!" Li Xiaoxiang did not say a specific number, because Ling Xiyue was not sensitive to this piece, anyway, they were all people who had no worries about food and clothing, and the rest was the cost of cultivation and cultivating future generations.
"What about the time it takes to forge weapons?" Jiang Ming asked.
"If you have three stacks of weapons, it will take seven days, and if you have four layers, it will take a month, but there is no guarantee of success, this depends on the level of the individual. Li Xiaoxiang replied truthfully.
Jiang Ming pondered for a while and said, "The number of refining apprentices is very large, but there are not many people who are willing to accept apprentices, and even if they accept apprentices, their number will not be large. Since you want them to make their skills public, you need to ensure that their interests for the rest of their lives are enough and they can always maintain enough income. ”
Li Xiaoxiang was shocked: "By no means! The military expenditure is already very large, and the construction of the bottom layer will cost money everywhere, if it is repaid."
If you want to give them too many benefits, then the military spending will not be able to make ends meet!"
The military advisor also dissuaded: "Even if it is a master, it is logistics, and logistics must not be allowed to occupy the main position!"
Logistics is important, but if logistics dominates, then this force is not far from collapse.
"Don't worry, I'm going to overdraft my future income. ”
Jiang Ming's fingers tapped lightly on the table very rhythmically, "It is foreseeable that the prices of various weapons will continue to decline in the future, this is well known, and weapons worth thousands of taels now will drop to at least five hundred taels in the future, or even lower, and they are stopping this decline rate, so that they can strive for more benefits for themselves." We can give every refining master who is named in Wuhou Mansion a certificate, as long as they live for one day, then they can sell the fourth-layer weapons to Wuhou Mansion for two thousand taels every year. ”
"I'm afraid this won't work, they won't be forging weapons anymore after a certain age. Li Xiaoxiang said.
"Who said they had to forge it themselves? Jiang Ming said.
Li Xiaoxiang was stunned when he heard this, he didn't follow Jiang Ming's train of thought, and the military advisor applauded:
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
In this way, as long as they live, their apprentices or descendants will be able to take good care of them by receiving a steady income in their name. The lower the price of the weapon, the more popular they will be by future generations, and they will also work hard to teach their disciples the skill of refining weapons, because only a four-layer weapon can be sold at such a price, and even if the disciple reaches the four-layer stacking skill, he will not be too much money, and will definitely provide for the master, even if it is for the master's money, it will also be for the master to die of old age. ”
The reason why there are not many old people in this world, and even they can't live old under the holy realm, is because the old people don't have enough value, and they will drag down future generations. And a master who can provide a stable source of income will of course be supported by future generations.
"No, there are very few refining masters now, because most of the refining masters are not martial arts gods, and there will be many masters of this level in the future. ”
Ling Xiyue retorted, "We shouldn't calculate according to the strength of refining weapons, but according to the contribution, refining enough weapons will contribute, and after accepting apprentices, the apprentices' contributions will also have their own share, and those who contribute enough can enjoy such treatment." ”
Li Xiaoxiang said: "The specific details ......"
"You have the idea of the specific details, don't ask me. Ling Xiyue didn't wait for Li Xiaoxiang to finish speaking, then left and started to shake the pot.
