Chapter 47 [Hot goods in the secret room]
I got fire yao by accident, what can such a thing do in this world?
Make guns and run? Lead the trend of the times and push this cold weapon era into the hot weapon era in one go?
What a joke!
Du Wei is not so stupid as to think that he can create any thermal weapons by mastering fire weapons. First, what is the purpose of developing weapons? To seize power through coup? To fight a war? Du Wei has no interest in this aspect. Second, is it so difficult to develop thermal weapons?
Is it easy? Not to mention guns... In the previous life, after China invented gunpowder, they only used it for fireworks for N centuries.
Is it so easy to make a thermal weapon? Whether it's a gun or a cannon, let alone the entire gun, Du Wei couldn't even make a simple barrel.
What's more, this is a magical world! In this world, even if you have guns and cannons, magic may not be as easy to use.
The simplest low-level magician, as long as he knows the wind flying technique, he can use the simplest fireball technique...
As long as such a low-level magician flies up and throws fireballs, it can basically be regarded as a humanoid Apache gunship!
In such a situation, if you use a little firepower and use rough technology to create a few cannons... is there any advantage?
What to do with fire yao?
Du Wei’s idea is simple: make money!
Duwei, who is becoming more and more accustomed to this world, after almost playing a prank on the McDonald's Fleet, the Black Pearl, and Captain Jack Sparrow... he gradually began to take the initiative to become more interested in this world.
Interests outside of magic.
Since there is no way to go back...then, we must try some tricks.
Even the servants of the devil with powerful supernatural powers couldn't send him back, so Du Wei basically gave up. And Du Wei, who let go of his heart... Once the mischievous mentality in his heart unfolds, it is difficult to estimate what kind of wave it will set off in the end.
Already.
At least now, his head is full of "ideas" that are enough to scare the poor old butler out of his mind.
Back in the castle, Du Wei first summoned his most valued servant Mad. Mad was in charge of Du Wei's private treasury. When Mad was kicked out of the imperial capital, the Countess privately gave him a thousand
The gold coins are still in the hands of this servant.
"How much money do we have left?" Du Wei asked simply.
Mad's answer was quick: "Eight hundred and ninety-two gold coins." After a pause, the loyal servant added: "Because you built the small building and purchased things, you have already paid several months of pocket money in advance.
Money, your pocket money has been stopped starting from this month, so we can only make up the difference from our own pockets."
There was a bit of resentment in Mad's voice, mainly directed at the old butler Hill. It seemed that the former groom was a little uncomfortable being suppressed by the old butler.
"Besides, we can't expect to get a single coin from the steward within a year." Du Wei sighed.
"Isn't it?" Mader was a little depressed: "Master, I think you should think of something... The Earl is too harsh on you. After all, you are still a child, and I can't blame you for this incident. Could it be?
Are you willing to be kidnapped? I have a note..."
"What?"
Mad rolled his eyes and whispered: "In two months, it will be the Countess's birthday. If you send a gift back to the imperial capital then, and write a letter to ask Madam for help, as long as Madam can help
If you beg for mercy at the earl's side... perhaps, your ban can be lifted in advance."
Du Wei nodded: "Good attention, dear Mad. It's a good idea. Even if I don't beg for mercy, I should express my gratitude for my mother's birthday... But, with more than 800 gold coins, what can I buy?
Where’s the gift?”
Mader was speechless. This was far beyond the former groom's ability to think.
Du Wei didn't intend to let the groom continue to contribute his wisdom. He patted Mad on the shoulder: "Okay, I have my own idea, but thank you for reminding me. Now I need you to help me do something."
Duwei quickly made a list and gave it to Mader.
"Buy everything on the list for me... In addition, I need all the craftsmen I wrote above."
After Mader took the list, he glanced at it, and after doing some calculations in his mind, his eyes almost fell down: "Master... if we buy all these things back and hire these craftsmen... what we have in our hands
I’m afraid there won’t be much money left…”
In fact, what Mad said was already very conservative. In fact, what he wanted to say was, "I'm afraid there won't be a single copper left!"
Du Wei smiled confidently: "Made, just do as I say. Don't worry, we will be very rich in the future, very, very rich! It's just... I have a lot of money outside. I have two months to go."
I can’t count on it. But my mother’s birthday is two months later, so I have to think of some way out. Well, let’s go!”
What should I do? If I can wait three months, McDonald's fleet's pirate plan is completed, and I will be able to gain a large amount of gold coins.
But now, I don’t have any cash in my hand!
As for the secret room under the study... Du Wei had already gone in and looked at it last night.
Guess what's inside?
It wasn't gold or gems... but something that made Du Wei dizzy! Those things were undoubtedly very valuable. But... it would be difficult to sell them all at once.
For example, a pair of samurai armor sewn with more than 300 pieces of fine gemstones and perforated with gold thread! This kind of thing has no value in actual combat, but as a work of art, it is priceless!
This kind of thing probably cannot be sold in the small cities on the Luolin Plain. Buyers can only be found in big cities like Walker Port or Imperial Capital.
Of course, if Du Wei really needs money, he can dismantle the thing and take out a small piece of gemstone, which can be sold naturally. But in this way, he will destroy a work of art of amazing value! This kind of
Of course Du Wei would not do something stupid that would make him lose money.
Another example is the crown carved from a complete piece of the finest natural amethyst! It was made four hundred years ago, when the empire was at its peak, and His Majesty the Emperor gathered many skilled craftsmen to make it, and inlaid it with the crown.
Twenty-nine high-quality magic gems, plus dissolved mithril, were used to create a thorn flower, with a large prismatic diamond inlaid on the petals!
This was not the first time Du Wei had seen this crown. He had seen a picture of it in a book before.
Legend has it that this priceless crown was a gift from His Majesty the Emperor to the then-new Pope of the Temple of Light in Mainland China for his coronation!
Unfortunately, during the subsequent alien war in the north of the mainland, that is, the mainland war in which the Luo Lin family rose up and, in the midst of the war, relied on their military exploits to obtain the entire Luolin Plain as a fiefdom...
This crown, which had been kept in the Temple of Light, was mysteriously lost!
This incident has been regarded by the Temple of Light as one of the biggest shames in hundreds of years! The pope’s coronation crown was actually lost! In the following hundreds of years, every pope who succeeded to the throne would look for the coronation crown as a symbol of the future.
One of the wishes passed down from generation to generation.
Let me ask, would Du Wei dare to sell such a thing for money?
I'm afraid that if I sell it on the first day, the knights of the temple will come to kill me the next day!
In that secret room, there were a total of nineteen collections left by Semmel! Each of them was a hot commodity that was worth hundreds of millions, but could not be sold!
In fact, last night when he saw such a roomful of hot items, Du Wei thought for a while... What kind of woman was Semel back then?
Where did she get these things?!
However, when I asked the cloned version of Semmel next to me, I couldn't figure it out. Because her copied memory didn't have any information on these things.
Therefore, even though Du Wei got these nineteen priceless treasures, he was still worried about money in the short term.
He is not short of money, but short of some emergency liquidity.
After some judgment, the last more than 800 gold coins were purchased by Mader. Then in the next three months, Du Wei, the eldest son of the dignified earl and the eldest young master of the Luo Lin family, would really have a lot of money in his pocket.
Not even a copper plate is left.
After some calculation, the subsequent magic experiments, the configuration of those magic potions, and the refining of plants are all consumables that require constant purchase and replenishment.
How can we find a way to get one or two thousand gold coins first to deal with emergencies?
During the entire lunch, Du Wei was thinking about ways to make money. The lunch was quite good, with a few pieces of tender foie gras, toasted golden bread, and a bowl full of aroma.
The seafood soup... Apparently the old butler, apart from imposing a physical and economic blockade on Du Wei in strict accordance with the Earl's orders, did not embarrass the young master. He also took great care of his food taste. Du Wei likes to eat goose.
Liver and seafood are not cheap goods, but when it comes to the normal consumption of these daily meals, the old housekeeper still dare not treat Du Wei harshly.
After lunch, Du Wei drank some tea. There is no coffee in this world, but there is tea. However, the habit of drinking tea is quite different from Du Wei's previous life. The nobles like to put a little honey or gummy sugar in the tea...
Some have unique flavors and like to add a little mustard or something like that.
Of course, the taste of tea in this world is a bit stronger than in the previous life.
After drinking a small cup of honey black tea, Du Wei saw the old housekeeper rushing over.
The old butler Hill now has a strong opinion of this young master! He actually destroyed an oil painting that had been collected for two hundred years! God! Didn’t he know that the oil painting was a portrait of the ancestors of the Luo Lin family? Did he?
Don’t you know how many years that oil painting has gone through?
He actually burned it!!
The old butler Hill, who is responsible for guarding the Luo Lin family's ancestral property, is very dissatisfied with this young master's prodigal behavior! He is ready to add such a sentence to his letter to the imperial capital.
pen!
"Master, do you have any other instructions?" The old butler's attitude was quite respectful, but his tone was a bit cold.
"Is it true that as long as I don't leave the castle and do something else here, that's fine, right?" Du Wei asked.
"...Yes." When the old housekeeper answered, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy... What does this young master want to do?
"Very well, I need a maid who can do needlework. And...lead my horse to the door." -
