"I just heard that Eunice is out, and Eucommia is out of trouble?" asked Kaichi as Hozia followed him to his office.

Hozia asked Kaichi to sit down and said, "Yes, the production of eucommia gum is still too small, but we have reduced the production of bicycles and increased the production of table clocks, which can reduce the demand for eucommia gum." Since the introduction of bicycles with Eucommia ulmoides rubber for wheels, even many horse-drawn carriages now have started to use Eucommia ulmoides rubber tires, which is too wasteful. ”

Probably according to Hozia's idea, he should keep all the eucommia gum for his own use.

In fact, Eucommia gum can also look for other things to replace, originally Eucommia gum is a substitute for rubber, if you can find a rubber tree, then the yield of rubber can be greatly improved, and the cost can also be reduced, but Jiayi has no intention of spending energy on this.

Jia Yi doesn't particularly care about these business things, after all, he is not familiar with it, if it is really difficult, Eunice and they should have told themselves a long time ago, since they didn't say it, then it should be that they can solve it themselves, or Jia Yi has no way to solve it.

"In fact, the most troublesome thing is not eucommia gum, but steel. ”

"Steel, what's wrong with steel?"

Jiayi has the impression that iron ore should still be quite abundant, although for ordinary civilians, steel products are not cheap, but the nobles even have all-steel full-body armor, which shows that the steel output should be a lot, and even the forging skills are very superb.

Hozia said: "Our chamber of commerce was originally mainly engaged in jewelry and other enchanted jewelry, and the demand for steel was not high, so our chamber of commerce did not have iron ore, and all iron ingots were purchased. Now that we need a lot of iron to make bicycles or table clocks, the Imperial Capital's Chamber of Commerce is a little jealous, and they have begun to collectively raise prices for us, and even the supply has decreased a lot, and President Eunice is going to solve this matter. ”

"I'm rubbing, this is a robbery by fire, so are we going to buy an iron mine ourselves?"

"No, the nobles won't allow it. We can only buy iron ingots now, and the main reason why the president went out this time was to determine the share of iron ingots with the cooperative chamber of commerce, and with Orlando Mage here, they didn't dare to go too far. ”

Through Hoziayi's words, Jiayi also reacted that iron ore at this time can be regarded as a strategic resource, and weapons and armor are inseparable from this, so all mineral deposits are firmly in the hands of the lord. Most of these merchants who sell iron ingots are lords behind them. Even if the Valoka Chamber of Commerce has Orlando's support, it is not urgent to get an iron mine, and it needs to take a detour.

And in addition to iron ingots, the production of table clocks also requires a large amount of copper, tin, and some gold and silver jewelry for decoration. Moreover, his own chamber of commerce can be regarded as having the support of the Mage Academy, and the rest of the chambers of commerce dare not go too far, at most, they will take it and ask for more benefits.

Jiayi and Hozia are not familiar with each other, and there is nothing to talk about with a big man, so after chatting a few more words, let Hozia express his admiration for himself, and after Jiayi went to the accommodation prepared for him and rested.

The accommodation prepared for Jiayi was in a courtyard behind the Chamber of Commerce, with a kitchen and a back door to enter and exit. Originally, Eunice was going to arrange Jiayi in his own home, but Jiayi felt that he was not used to it, so he wrote back to her, arranged it in the Chamber of Commerce, and set up a simple laboratory.

......

After settling Xiaoqing, Jia Yi spread out on the bed, although he had been taking the boat and every way he walked, he also felt a little tired.

"Jiayi, are you there?"

Not long after Jiayi lay down here, he heard Selena's voice, and he didn't expect to come over so soon, I don't know if it was specially notified or if he had already finished talking.

Jiayi hasn't had time to get up in bed yet, especially at the beginning of summer, when it's the easiest time to get sleepy. He was still struggling in bed when Selena pushed open the door and entered.

Jia Yi fell on the bed in a daze, since he couldn't get up, then he didn't get up.

"You're back so soon, and the matter is settled? I heard your vice president say that there is a lot of shortage of raw materials. ”

I haven't seen him for a long time, and Jia Yi feels that the figure of the mother and daughter is getting better and better, can't the development of female bodies in the other world not stop. Kaichi felt his vision a little blocked, and leaned back on the bed with his hands on his club. It must be noted that he was just lying on the bed and did not undress.

Selena didn't see it either, and sat down directly on the bed, but Eunice moved a chair to sit on.

"It's no big deal, we've negotiated, and we've signed a new contract, and although we can't provide the full amount of iron ingots, it's pretty much the same. We just don't have to rush so much, and the production is a little more elaborate. Nowadays, table clocks and other things are still new, and everyone is not proficient, and it takes a master craftsman to make it. Slow down is just the right way to train a group of qualified grandfather clock workers. Eunice whispered.

"These chambers of commerce are so easy to talk to?" Jia Yi felt a little surprised, this is simply not in line with their interests, you will be relieved as soon as you go with such a big formation, there is not even a back and forth, they will not be to tease their own chamber of commerce, right.

Jia Yi's eyes rolled on the mother and daughter, the boss of the Chamber of Commerce shouldn't have taken a fancy to one of them, right?

Probably because Jiayi's gaze was really a little presumptuous, Selena's eyes widened: "What do you see!"

Kaichi retracted his gaze, now that the chicks have grown up, it's time to be eaten. It is said that looking at beautiful women can live a long life, I don't know if it's true.

"I'm just a little curious, can't you just go over and the phoenix body will be shocked, and they will bow down under your pomegranate skirt, right?"

Although there is no legend of the eight kings in this world, with Jiayi's expression, Eunice understands Jiayi's meaning very well.

"This actually has something to do with you. Eunice smiled.

"Me?" Jia Yi was puzzled, could it be that before he arrived in the imperial capital, the imperial capital had already spread his own legends? What was it that allowed him to have such a big face, because of invention and creation or his "outstanding" knowledge, but they wouldn't know about it, it wouldn't be because they had seen the rigorous reasoning and whimsy in their published papers that made them breathtaking.

Kaichi is narcissistic, but he doesn't really think so.

"Were you attacked when you came?"

"yes, hundreds of people, if it weren't for my good magic, I don't know if I would have been able to see you. Jia Yi said with a smug look.

This is the first and only group "war" he has participated in, or it can be called a group fight, and he can defeat the strong with the weak, not only because of his own quick wit, but also because of his strength and his cautiousness or timidity and fear of death.

Eunice said: "Do you know that after you informed your teacher, Master Im informed Master Orlando, and then Master Orlando issued a mission in the academy, and a small team of mages led by a white-robed mage ploughed hard several times between the Rhett mudflat and the dragon's throat stream, and the Rhett mudflat was also burned to the ground. ”

"Wow!" Jia Yi didn't expect his teacher to be so powerful and would stand out for himself. Thinking about the huge reeds swinging in the Rhett mudflat, it was a pity to feel a little hypocritical, and thinking that such a big battle was to give himself a head, and his heart was a little dark. In the future, if you pass through the dragon's throat stream, you will not be able to avoid evil.

Eunice looked at Jiayi's surprised look and continued, "You are also a good fate, I didn't expect that Mage Orlando would think so highly of you. After Master Orlando's deeds reached the imperial capital, I mentioned to those chambers of commerce that you are our partner, and if I gave them a little benefit, they would not dare to continue to entangle. ”

For the first time, Jia Yi intuitively felt the power of the mage, his teacher Yimu was only "powerful" in the remote countryside, and the master was "doing whatever he wanted" in the imperial capital. The so-called tacit understanding and unspoken rules are only established when the strong are willing to abide by them.

However, that mage team was able to kill the Dragon's Throat Stream in such a short period of time, and coupled with the time it took for the message to be transmitted, even if that team hadn't come back yet, then their speed would have to be more than twice as fast, and if they had already returned, it would be more than three times as fast.

There must be a faster means of transportation between the mages, and Jia thought about it and crooked the building.
