Chapter 112 Nouveau riche
Reed unknowingly told the players a lot, maybe the pumpkin porridge is too delicious, or the delicious side dishes are too delicious, of course it is more likely because he really feels that the future prospects are very slim.
If the master’s blacksmith shop is not his own, even if he can find a job with his skills in the future, he will definitely not be able to compare with the present.
After all, relying on master now can take on many large orders. If it were the past, how could it be delivered to yourself with 10 axes?
The master wished he could not stop all day.
Players have learned a lot from Reed. Although he didn't say it in detail, based on the players' ability to find information, they can also infer what precautions Red said.
"It seems that blacksmithing is really interesting. If you have the chance, I will ask you for more advice." Old Man Zhongshan said sincerely.
Reed was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You want to be blacksmiths too?"
"No, we hope to make something more useful, not ironwork, but steelmaking." Old man Zhongshan said to the truth. He didn't think there was any problem with such communication. After all, sooner or later, Reed will know what he was doing.
of.
Such a large steel mill will be very famous in Tana City and even the entire Federation in the future.
So there is no need to hide it from it.
"You want to make steel? That's the kind that produces factory equipment?" Tana City does not have particularly high-tech factories. The factories are mainly used to produce daily necessities such as food or porcelain, but Reed has also seen some high-tech ones.
Things, such as the printing press in the newspaper, look very complicated and use much better materials than those made by the blacksmiths themselves.
It is said that it is the production process of the royal capital. It is impossible to produce small places like Tana City. It is already very amazing to be able to import one.
So if it breaks, no one will repair it. Reed also tried to repair the machine, but to be honest, he really didn't understand the structure inside.
When he heard that these Xiahui people wanted to make steel, his first reaction was that these people had higher skills than themselves!
His eyes suddenly lit up. What if he mastered the skills that his master could not do?
"We mainly aim to produce tools that everyone can afford. Didn't you find that Tana City's production efficiency is very low? Manor planting still uses very simple manual methods, and the tools are not handy.
"Old man Zhongshan pointed to the land at the foot of the mountain, "And I heard that the nobles were going to import harvesters to harvest sooner or later, which shows that these industrial products will replace the current artificial farming methods, and at least save a lot of manpower."
"What should we do with these serfs?" Reed suddenly said with some concern.
"They can go into our steel factory or go to the factory to produce and work. In short, it is at least much better than serfs. I know that serfs usually have no wages." The city of Tana is very strange, it is basically a serf.
No native farmers, those who grow food are all serfs.
It is said that three hundred years ago, the descendants of the captives in the Federal War became serfs.
Later, the Federation would also purchase serf populations from other countries. In addition, Tana City was originally an autonomous city, so the nobles used serfs as a bit unscrupulous.
Every year, a large number of serfs are starved to death by nobles or exhausted, so it is more appropriate to be a worker.
At least it seems like this now.
Reed thought for a while, and then said to the old man Zhongshan: "If you really want to make steel, I think I might be able to help you. If you are willing to hire me, I am willing to help you continue to do it together."
"Do you really think so?" Old Man Zhong Shan said with some surprise.
He didn't expect that a skilled blacksmith would decide to join in after only chatting with him for a while.
"Of course I hope to do something big, too." Reed drank the last little pumpkin porridge, "If you need any help in the future, just come to the blacksmith shop to find me."
"That's so thankful." This is definitely an unexpected surprise for the players.
I used to think that NPCs are not good at favorability, but now it seems that this is not the case.
What is difficult to brush may be the names that are called, the kind of NPCs that manage players or the church.
For civilian NPCs, favorability may be very easy to win.
After Reed left, the players once again devoted themselves to the excited work. With tools, the speed of logging wood was indeed much faster.
The players were divided into two parts, one of which was left in the coking place, chopping firewood, drying firewood, and the other was transporting wood on the mountain.
Andrew, who was sitting in the room, pushed open the window and saw the smoke from cooking above the coking plant at a glance.
In the factory area of Tana City, there are few similar smokes, after all, Tana City is mainly light industry.
It seems that the iron ore must be put on the agenda quickly. Otherwise, those believers have prepared coke and they have not bought the ore yet?
He once again carried the documents, walked out of the room, got into a carriage, and came to the chamber of commerce.
"I'm glad you can figure it out." Gaisen, the receptionist of the Chamber of Commerce, said with a smile. "These iron ore is already very low."
"That's right, I want to know, what is the price of the Chamber of Commerce for steel plates and the like?" Andrew replied calmly.
He had been talking to the Chamber of Commerce for many days, but this guy named Gaisen kept biting the price.
If he bought it at the price he said, Andrew would have lost a lot.
Because the other party asked to use Sid to buy, not Tanna.
This is also the recent reform of the Chamber of Commerce. For civilians, they can refuse the exchange of Tana because civilians simply cannot enter the Chamber of Commerce.
Just by wearing, civilians can only be stopped outside.
As for the nobles, they either directly exchange Tana to become Sid, or they directly trade with Sid.
In other words, the Chamber of Commerce will never give up its last little benefit.
Then Andrew must sign an acquisition agreement with the other party, otherwise he would be a loss.
Gaisen doesn't think this guy who doesn't look so rich can really make any steel.
The chamber of commerce has never lacked such similar suckers. These guys often suddenly have more money through one or two small adventures, and then they think about continuing to take risks, expanding their business, and paying themselves to death.
Geisen has heard of this guy named Andrew.
This guy who suddenly became rich bought half a street shop in the store street, but he didn't rent it out at all.
And he actually built an orphanage with kindness... It was ridiculous to think about it.
How many people can he support?
