Arcane Lord

Now on the entire world, the only area still using bronze weapons is the Kingdom of Saranda, located in the very center of the continent and surrounded by mountains.

Because there is no iron ore found there, and there is no decent road at all, people inside can’t get out, and people outside can’t get in either. Only a very small amount of expert and bold adventurer just reluctantly Being able to pass through dangerous mountainous areas and bring news out of it, it has led to a state of isolation for a long time, still staying in the primordial bronze age.

“Don’t ask that many, just prepare according to my requirements. In addition, the bronze must be at least one hundred and fifty to two hundred tons. Be sure to gather it in half a month.”

Andre obviously does not intend to explain more, because the primordial artillery is not very technical. Once others know too much, it is easy to imitate it.

Although the most scientific gunpowder formula is needed to take advantage of the powerful formidable power, he can’t guarantee that someone will make a mistake by mistake, so it is better to keep it secret.

“One… more than one hundred and fifty tons of bronze! Are you sure you are right?” Old George could no longer maintain his calmness, and was shocked by his words.

After all, copper is now used as a base currency on the Olaer continent. A Copper Coin with the smallest face value is about ten grams, and more than two hundred coins are equivalent to a Gold Coin, which is converted into a price. One kilogram of copper is almost worth half a Gold Coin, and one hundred and fifty tons are worth 75,000 Gold Coins. If you include about 15 tons of tin and labor, it will cost at least 100,000 Gold Coins.

For most nobles, 100,000 Gold Coin is not a small amount, it is equivalent to a year’s profit of a medium-sized Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing the old man’s tangled face, Andre’s mouth turned up slightly, and he asked playfully, “Why, there are difficulties?”

He didn’t mean to make things difficult for him. It really needs so much bronze. Calculated based on the average weight of a cannon of about two tons, after deducting the necessary loss, about 60 to 65 can be built with 150 tons of bronze, and the rest can be built with some long spears and short guns. Consume thoroughly.

To some extent, from the moment human civilization entered the age of firearms, two countries at war were competing for industrial production capacity. Whoever can produce more and better weapons can be more armed. More troops.

During the Second World War, the United States forcibly crippled Japan at the speed of a destroyer in 17 days. The Soviet Union also used tractor production lines to create a terrifying army of tanks, forcibly Nazi Germany, which had both military and technological strength above itself, was defeated.

Andre doesn’t expect the conservative aristocrats in this city to have such terrifying potential, but if he can’t even get one hundred and fifty tons of bronze in half a month, then he might start thinking about it. Change of camp.

Old George knew this was a test, so he gritted his teeth nodded: “Okay! Isn’t it just over 150 tons of bronze? I promise to deliver it to you within 15 days. As for the charcoal , Saltpeter and sulfur are the same.”

“Very well, I am a person who pays attention to fairness. I will return as much as the benefits others give me. At most a week, I have a business presentation that can make a lot of money. Here you are, I promise to exceed everyone’s expectations.” After all, Andre pretended to be a mysterious slightly smiled, and turned his eyes to the front desk, ready to see what good things were prepared for this boutique auction.

“Big business? Did you develop a new magic potion?” Old George asked impatiently.

Although the genius potions and hero potions have not yet appeared on the market, many caring people already know the value of these two potions, and plan to snap up some of them when the auction is held next month, even if they don’t use them. It can also be sold at more than ten times the price in other city-states.

It can be said that most recently, the hottest topic in the entire Linton City is about these two medicines, and their inventor, the newly promoted medicine master-Andre.

However, many nobles and big merchants regret that the two potions have been divided up by the Mage Guild and the four dukes, leaving them only a little leftovers.

Seeing the hot eyes of the old man, Andre smiled and shook the head: “No, although the potion can make a lot of money, it does not have the probability of mass production. This alone determines its potential. Limited. The big business I’m talking about concerns thousands of households, and everyone can’t live without it as long as they are alive.”

“Damn! You said it was salt!”

>

Old George is worthy of being a human spirit who has been in the noble circle for decades, and he guessed the answer at a glance.

“That’s right! It’s salt, otherwise you think that Countess Anastasia would choose marriage? Where did you go to sea that many days?” Andre said, an unfathomable expression appeared on Andre’s face .

“Oh…oh…oh! The gods are up! The women of the Ye Family clan in Mali are really lucky to have dug such a big gold mine! Tell me, don’t you know a new one? In addition to the cheap salt produced in that place, what other specialties are there?” The old George lost self-control and stood up from his chair. He didn’t know if it was due to excessive excitement. His face blushed a little. purple.

In Linton City, air routes mean great wealth. Every great nobleman has at least one secret air route, and he can make a large amount of profit every year, especially the stability like the salt trade. A profitable business.

At this moment, he just hates how he didn’t know this early, otherwise he would do it himself, even if he tied it, he would tie the youngster in front of him to his granddaughter’s bed and cook the raw rice directly.

Andre obviously didn’t expect the opponent’s brain supplement ability to be so strong, he didn’t say anything, and unexpectedly unfathomable mystery was regarded as discovering a new route, but that’s fine, at least there is nothing left. A lot of tongue.

Thinking of this, he chuckled and spread his hands: “The route? Haha, even if it is. Relax. At most, in a week or so, Lady Anastasia will return to the city. Everything will come to light. You should understand that the Ye Family in Mali alone cannot sell that many salt, so finding someone to cooperate has become an inevitable choice. I am a fair person, since you and yours The representative forces are the first to extend the hand of friendship, and then I will leave you with the largest cake.”

There is no doubt that the salt trade is one of the most profitable businesses in this world. And as a daily necessities, you never have to worry about slow sales.
