Qingqiu Li's face was not very pretty, and he squeezed out these two words through his teeth.
Next to him, Long Ang also had a cold face and remained silent.
If it were a certain force within the [Shuimu Principality], even Grand Duke Mufeng or several marquises, they would dare to take a small bite on that cake.
But...
[Tian Dou Empire] Ah, that's the sect's kingdom. A family of soul masters with profound background might pop up and come here to wipe them out.
In the three-thirds of an acre of land in [Shuimu Principality], no matter how you say it, everyone can go through seven twists and turns and eight twists and turns, and there is a bit of affection.
But these things are not that useful between the suzerain country and the subordinate country.
A weak country has no diplomacy, which is one of the truths that prevails in all worlds.
Not to mention that blacksmiths like them cannot represent the [Shuimu Principality], they can only be regarded as the middle and lower class existence in the principality.
After all, in this world, small countries look up to big countries, and the people of small countries fear the people of big countries. How can people from big countries kneel down and lick the inferiors of small countries?
Wouldn’t that make him a born bitch who forgets his ancestors?
"Haha——"
Seeing the appearance of the two strongest blacksmiths in the [Shuimu Principality], Ling Yi chuckled twice.
Without first throwing out such an insurmountable 'southern wall', how could these two blacksmiths really let go of themselves and cooperate with themselves?
Even though Fu Shan is backed by the [Shui Mu Principality] military and Li Qiang is backed by the palace headed by Grand Duke Mu Feng, they are not identities that can convince people of the same level.
After all, in the final analysis, Fu Shan and Li Qiang are just two high-level workers. They just work for a small group in the [Shuimu Principality] and are the chairman and general manager of the high-level company respectively.
The lower-level workers will be in awe of the two above, but the middle- and lower-level employees, because of their own abilities, have an escape route to change jobs at any time. They only need to maintain enough respect for their superiors, and that is enough.
Therefore, unable to pull the banner of a tiger and pretend to be a tiger, Ling Yi had to exaggerate the external environment of strong winds, rough waves, deep water and small ships, so that the sailors who wanted to ferry together could contribute their share of the effort safely.
After arriving in the New World, everyone will have gold and silver treasures.
Of course, the degree of this exaggeration must be controlled well, so as not to scare people away. It is difficult to recruit capable sailors these days, let alone veterans who have the ability to serve as bosun, battle captain and other important positions. p>
Ling Yi waited for Qing Qiu Li and Long Ang to calm down a little, then continued with a smile: "Seniors, there is no need to worry, the [Tian Dou Empire] did not take the initiative to come to our [Shui Mu Principality] to do business...
…”
After a pause, when the two of them came back to their senses and looked at themselves, Ling Yi said again: "According to what I know from discussions with master blacksmiths from various places, in fact, the iron trade volume of nearly 800,000 gold soul coins is ours [
Soul master families from various places in the Shuimu Principality took the initiative to purchase them from the territory of the Tiandou Empire, which is closest to the principality..."
"Active?"
"Purchase?"
Qingqiu Li and Long An both frowned, but a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
I just visited and was surprised that the foreign forces in the [Tian Dou Empire] might interfere with the iron market within the principality, but I forgot that because various iron tools require blacksmiths to forge them hammer by hammer, some high-level blacksmiths from various parts of the principality
When shopping online, orders are often saturated or even queued for a long time.
Because each master has a different level of craftsmanship, people often subconsciously go to the master master to forge the tools they want, rather than looking for the ordinary blacksmith shops opened by low-level blacksmiths and mid-level blacksmiths.
Ling Yi witnessed this situation many times in the blacksmith shop of his fifth senior brother Wang Meng a few years ago.
This phenomenon will not only make the high-level blacksmiths' blacksmith shops unable to complete their business, but also make the low- and intermediate-level blacksmith shops' business bleak.
Unless, like Beikouhe Town, everyone has no choice because it is located in a rural town, then Master Jiang, who is also an intermediate blacksmith, has always had a pretty good business.
In addition to the defect that the complex triangular relationship between the "dog licker", "goddess" and "rich, rich and handsome" between the buyers and sellers of ironware has led to the introduction of foreign "airborne troops" and disrupted the local market, there is another disadvantage for the blacksmith profession. Blacksmith is a skilled trade.
In addition to your own technical talent and strength factors, there is another factor that affects the growth of forging skills, which is the number of forgings you can get started.
Just like sharpshooters are often fed by bullets, if there are not enough iron weapons for you to shoot, even a talented person like the 'copy soul master' Ling Lingyi cannot achieve the astonishing achievement of being promoted to a blacksmith at the age of fourteen.
.
It's quite shocking. Even the future king of divine craftsmen, Lou Gao, is taught by the divine craftsman Tie Futu and has unlimited consumables provided by the [Blacksmith Association], and he became a master blacksmith in his twenties. Going a step further, back to the improvement of blacksmith skills, enough consumables and enough forging times can ensure that a blacksmith apprentice can steadily improve under the guidance of the master until he reaches the upper limit of his own talent or the highest level of the master.
Stuck in a bottleneck.
But just like Ling Yi's fifth senior brother Wang Meng, who can forge high-quality weapons that are eight hundred forged, but often receive orders for weapons that are five hundred forged.
If things go on like this, Wang Meng's skills have not deteriorated, which is considered good.
It's not that Wang Meng doesn't want to keep building weapons worth more than 800 forging, but the cost of consumables is too expensive!
Only when a soul master customer places an order can Wang Meng show off his talents and display all his superb skills.
The consumables of an eight-hundred-forged war knife can often be used to create four or five five-hundred-forged war knives!
This is the ratio of Wang Meng's metal material consumption. Mr. Jin, Fu Shan, and Li Qiang, the three blacksmiths, can control it to about one to two to one to three.
And Ling Yi has Lou Gao’s guidance, and can achieve the same level as Lou Gao at 1:18!
Going to the back, every zero point one value is a step that is difficult to climb.
After explaining the situation of the iron market and blacksmith practitioners in the [Shuimu Principality] to Qingqiu Li and Long Ang in a straightforward manner, the reasons and possible consequences were all laid out on the table. p>
Ling Yi looked at the three blacksmiths beside him: Mr. Jin, Fu Shan, and Li Qiang. Under the affirmative gazes of the three, Ling Yi looked at the two men from "Cold Wind City" and "Blue City" with a serious look on his face.
Brother, take the lead and invite:
"Senior Long, Senior Qingqiu, I'm brave enough to invite you two to join us in establishing the [Blacksmiths Association·Shuimu Principality Branch], integrating all the blacksmiths in the entire principality, and allocating all iron orders one by one according to the situation of both supply and demand.
In the hands of suitable blacksmith masters, low-level blacksmiths and mid-level blacksmiths can have enough orders and business...
It also allows senior blacksmith masters to have the opportunity to get more orders that match their craft level, and hopefully improve their skills..."
"As for the profit, to be honest, a 500-forged weapon is more profitable than ten weapons of the same specification that have just reached a hundred forged weapons!"
"Those who can place orders to purchase weapons worth more than 500 forgings are basically second-level soul masters and above. Everyone is a soul master, so naturally they know that compared to ordinary people, the golden soul of a soul master
You need more coins, and you will spend more money where you should spend it——!"
"How much can you earn by just earning ordinary people's silver soul coins and copper soul coins?
If you want to earn, earn the soul master’s golden soul coins——!”
