"Folding metal crossbow? Spider silk body armor?" Edward and Edwin were both a little surprised after listening to Meng Han's words. Building a metal crossbow was their limit, and they relied on the foundation laid by Master Howard.
As well as the batch of metal left behind. It is simply incredible that such a powerful crossbow can be folded. As for the spider silk body armor at the back, I have never even heard of its name, let alone its design.
.
Meng Han is not short of money for the time being, so he can purchase those precious metals at high prices to improve the situation of insufficient raw materials. However, Edwin and Edward do not feel that they can design a foldable metal crossbow.
Meng Han didn't care about this. The two dwarf blacksmiths now have enough skills to make some qualified spare parts and assemble them according to Meng Han's requirements, but let the two of them use their subjective initiative to create something.
Still a bit not enough.
Fortunately, Meng Han did not ask them to invent or create anything, as long as they could make things according to the requirements. Meng Han drew the folding crossbow for them bit by bit. It was the same old rules and there was no formal design.
Picture, just let the two of them understand the truth and start. As for the spider silk body armor, Meng Han can't ask two blacksmiths to complete a series of tasks such as weaving. All they have to do is to create tough and slender metal.
Silk.
Not only are the dwarf brothers interested in this, but Grace Alice has been standing around for a long time, waiting to see the results. Since Meng Han has come up with the idea, there is no need to ask, it must be a big and profitable deal.
"Of course, if we sell it, it will definitely be a big deal." Meng Han looked at the two expectant women and said without humility: "I need to verify something. If our spider silk body armor can protect against metal
If the crossbows can shoot well, then we can sell metal crossbows in large quantities. Believe me, no matter which world, the most profitable business is definitely the arms business."
They had never had any contact with each other before. Neither Grace nor Alice had any idea about the arms business. They looked confused when they heard it. Meng Han looked at their confused faces with a smile and couldn't help but reach out and take them one by one.
, held him in his arms, and after a while of tenderness, he said: "We have plenty of time to learn slowly, don't be in a hurry. If you are willing, you can first understand how other people do business selling ordnance."
Making spider silk body armor requires a large amount of spider silk. Meng Han had already sent Grace to ask Jessica from the elves. There was also news over there that more supplies are available, but there is not a lot more provided every day, only
It looks like a few kilograms. For Meng Han, it is enough. After processing a few kilograms of spider silk, it can be made into a spider silk body armor, which is definitely the thinnest and most efficient armor in the world.
After arranging all this, Meng Han was able to return to his normal life. However, he soon found out sadly that his Lord's Mansion had been demolished by Joey and Julie, and it has not been rebuilt until now. No one knows what their adults want
He didn't take any action on how to build the Lord's Mansion, just waiting for Meng Han to make up his mind.
"Joy, Julie, you two are not allowed to practice in my room from now on!" Thinking of this, Meng Han couldn't help but yelled in the direction of Joey and Julie's courtyard. The twins both lived in the castle.
Inside, and what I just said [Of course I know why the adults shouted like this. Everyone who heard Meng Han yelling had a happy smile on their faces.
"Okay!" Meng Han also decided to do it all at once. Since the house has been demolished, he will take this opportunity to build the White House Lord's Mansion that he had planned long ago. Anyway, the quarry has returned to his own hands, and the stone
Absolutely full: "We started building the real lord's palace, the one you like."
"Yeah!" Not only the two housekeepers, but also the two little maids behind them jumped up happily. Everyone has been coveting the White House designed by Meng Han for more than a day or two. I don't know how many times they have fantasized about living in that kind of house.
In the beautiful room, the day has finally begun.
Although we still have plenty on hand, we are still short of money to start these projects. If arms dealers were one of the most profitable industries in the previous life, there is another one, which would make people envious to death.
, that is the bank. When he rushed back from the Stone Castle, Meng Han was very dissatisfied with the consumption methods of this world. 1.2 million gold coins, 60 tons, such heavy gold coins had to be used to pay, it was simply
It's so inconvenient.
If there were banks in this world, wouldn't it be much simpler? Unfortunately, there are not. Similarly, in many novels that Meng Han has read, everyone has space rings, space bracelets and the like. Unfortunately, in this world
, space magic does not exist. All gold coins must be carried on the shoulder and carried to the scene, so that one hand can be paid and delivered.
However, this also gave Meng Han another idea. The predecessor of the bank in the previous life was the bill number. The function was very simple, basically depositing and withdrawing money in other places, and then charging a certain percentage of handling fees. Through the bill number, a number of banks emerged in Shanxi during the Qing Dynasty
Rich people. Of course, there is another terrifying way to make money, which is to issue banknotes, which was the paper currency at that time. It was a faster way to make money than robbing money. If Meng Han could realize the function of the ticket number,
Even without issuing currency, Meng Han can directly become the richest man in the world.
Of course, with Meng Han's current strength, it is too early to think about this. This idea can only be carried out after Meng Han has enough power distribution. This is a long-term goal, and he must first realize his own funds quickly.
For chain supply, we can only think of other ways.
"How is the silk business now? Has the silk started to be sold, Lord Marquis? Has colored silk been produced?" Grace is by his side. Of course, Meng Han must take good care of his business. However, there are some ways to care.
Fragrant, Grace and Alice wholeheartedly
Under the service of the two women, Meng Han felt very comfortable. He was lying on a reclining chair that had been made by someone a long time ago. There was Grace in front of him and Alice behind him. From time to time, he bit the fruits from the hands of the two women and brought them to his mouth.
Enjoying all the love with both hands, it is estimated that even His Majesty the Grand Duke does not have such enjoyment.
"After dividing half of the spider silk to the Marquis, our sales have been slightly affected temporarily." Grace lay in Meng Han's arms and reported in a low voice: "Mainly because the share has been reduced.
, those mercenaries queued up a lot, and the time was longer. Old Tom told me once, but there is nothing we can do for the time being."
"It doesn't matter, it's normal." Meng Han had already been mentally prepared for this. When talking about silk sales, Meng Han suddenly remembered the Shadow Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Turin and the mysterious and beautiful woman. At this moment, he asked casually
Come out: "Has the Shadow Chamber of Commerce left? Also, has the identity of the woman that day been found out?"
"There are more than 400 people coming from the Shadow Chamber of Commerce this time, which is the largest caravan." Meng Han had been immersed in the practice of frenzied fighting spirit before and could not care about it at all. Grace did not report: "Originally
We thought they would get angry and start fighting, but unexpectedly they left obediently and never came back. As for the woman, she was from another small chamber of commerce. She took away a batch of silk and left. There was nothing special about it.
.”
"Where is the Marquis?" Meng Han was also undecided. Whether it was the Shadow Chamber of Commerce or the beautiful woman, it was just a small matter. It is estimated that there will be no intersection in the future, and it is not worthy of too much concern: "Are they there?
Start selling, what’s the price?”
"The Marquis's silk workshop started selling 20 days ago, and their price is twice ours." Alice was more familiar with the outside news. This time it was Alice who reported: "The business is very good, and the supply exceeds demand. They
It also leaves profit margins for sellers, but they make twice as much as we do.”
"We have made a batch of samples of colored silk, but we haven't started selling it yet." Grace took over the conversation, took out a few pieces of dyed silk, sent them to Meng Han, and continued to report and ask for instructions: "Waiting for your Excellency.
Make up your mind, what should the price be?"
"It looks like the effect is very good." Meng Han took several colors of silk, looked at it carefully, and came to this conclusion: "The price will increase four times, and the output will be doubled. From tomorrow on, we will no longer
We sell white silk and convert all of it into colored silk. We only sell the best. The saved spider silk is of great use to me."
"Yes, sir!" Grace agreed softly. As a result, although the sales volume has decreased a lot, after the price increase, the profit is still the same as before or even exceeds it. There is no loss to Huangsha City.
"Make an appointment with Old Tom tomorrow to discuss silk sales with him." Meng Han ordered again: "You can't make the mercenaries line up every time. This is not the way. There are still many ways to make money.
"
"Yes, sir!" Meng Han said this. He must have come up with some new ideas. Alice happily agreed.
"When I left the Stone Castle, I entrusted the Marquis to help me purchase a large number of things. Have these things been delivered?" Now not only may there be a shortage of gold coins, but also materials. Meng Han naturally became concerned about the items purchased at the Stone Castle.
thing.
"They are already being delivered one after another." Alice quickly replied: "Someone just sent news that a large team is coming this time."
"Big team?" Meng Han was a little surprised: "If the freight is too high, I won't admit it."
"My lord, they are slaves." Alice added: "More than five thousand slaves are on their way here."
