Master of Thermodynamics

Igos turned "Tide Current Events" to the second edition, and the entry was a full-page advertisement.

On the slightly rough paper, simple and bright lines outline a rectangular parallelepiped-like object. There are 2 doors on the front surface, arranged up and down. The upper door is opened, and it is faintly visible that the interior is full of various objects.

Igos recognized it at a glance. This was the "Household Magic Refrigerator" produced by the "Haichao Industrial Group" in the territory.

A line of general text is written below the pattern:

"The storm is violent, and the audience is 10% off."

A lot of price information is written in a smaller font below:

"200 liters double door refrigerator, 1050 silver nar"

"250 liters double door refrigerator, 1250 silver nars"

...

"500 liters double-door refrigerator, 2,450 silver nars"

"750-liter double-door refrigerator, 3250 silver nars"

"The above products are all interest-free for 24 periods. Please consult the department store for details."

As soon as his eyes saw the words "9 fold up", Igos couldn't help cursing in a low voice:

"Asshole!"

This sentence alarmed a gentleman sitting next to him. He supported the temples of the glasses with his right hand, glanced at the newspaper advertisement, chuckled, and said:

"The storm season is here, the maximum temperature during the day has dropped to less than 15 degrees, the frequency of refrigerator use has also been greatly reduced, and the price reductions in department stores are actually an expected thing."

"In the retail industry, relative to profit margins, improving product turnover and reducing inventory can greatly improve the efficiency of capital use. This is even more important for department stores..."

Igos was taken aback.

Although he could hear things like "speed of turnover" and "efficiency of capital use" and was puzzled, he instinctively felt that the gentleman next to him must be very knowledgeable and his status will not be low. .

Igos nodded to the other side in salute, and said:

"Sir, you make a lot of sense... But I still have to say that the price reduction is a bit too fast."

"Half a year ago, when I bought a 200-liter double-door refrigerator, the total price was 1150 silver nars, which is a kinnal which is quite expensive... and there is a 3% interest rate on the installment payment... Hey, just think about it. It hurts..."

Mr. neighbor nodded sympathetically and comforted:

"Some people buy magic refrigerators at a higher price... As far as I know, in Qianhu Republic, the price is more than 50% higher than that of Haichao collar... If I remember correctly, the price of a 200-liter double-door refrigerator , More than 18 Kinnars."

"Our lord, order the Haichao Chamber of Commerce to supply goods to the territory at the best price...In other places, you can't find a lower price..."

Igos couldn't help but slap his tongue:

"My God, gentlemen of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, it's so...oh, so amazing..."

He wanted to say "too dark", but he guessed that this gentleman might work for the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, so he quickly changed his words and said "too great".

After a pause, Igos asked curiously:

"The price is so expensive, is anyone willing to buy it?"

"Of course, and the supply is in short supply." Mr. Neighbor nodded simply, "There are many nobles and merchants on the mainland, and their purchasing power is quite strong... I also heard that in the past few months, the orders received by the factory have accumulated. More than 12,000 units..."

"God, 12,000 units..." Igos exclaimed fiercely, "So, isn't the total sales amounting to hundreds of thousands of Kinnars?"

"That's right." Mr. Neighbor affirmed Igos's guess, "Because sales are so hot, in any city in the Thousand Lakes Republic, you must place an order three months in advance, or even longer..."

"Only in Haichaoling, the Magic Refrigerator can be sold in stock. As long as you pay the down payment in the department store, you can move it home immediately..."

I have to say that happiness comes out of comparison.

The words of Mr. Neighbor let the resentment in Igos's heart dissipate a lot, he sighed happily, and laughed:

"Hey, the refrigerator was bought early, but it's actually not bad... The first few months was when the weather was hot, and I could drink iced plum soup and iced red lemon water at home. I had a glass each morning and evening, and the heat was gone... This wonderful taste is memorable now when I think of it."

"If you cook too much food, you can store it in the refrigerator, don't worry about it. The store also teaches how to use the refrigerator to make ‘ice cream’, which is also a super delicacy invented by Lord Lord..."

"My wife tried to cook it several times. Oh, it's so delicious that you can swallow your tongue. It's a pity that the raw materials are a bit expensive, especially the butter..."

"In such days, when I was still struggling for life in the Thousand Lake Kingdom, I never thought about it... I am afraid that the life of those noble lords could not be so happy..."

Igos was babbling, his old face clearly showing an expression called "happiness".

When this guy witnessed Renault killing the private army of nobles and was forced to leave the mainland with his family, he thought that the whole family would have a tragic life of "after eating but not having a meal."

Unexpectedly, after arriving on Odin Island, he suddenly discovered that the standard of living here was surprisingly high, and it was getting better every day.

Later, after a drastic change occurred in the Thousand Lake Kingdom that shocked the entire human world, Iggos was told that his prohibition order had been cancelled and he could return to the mainland at any time.

However, this fellow decisively chose to stay.

Humph, living on Odin Island is like being soaked in a honeypot, and the fool will leave.

Not only that, but through Grum's relationship, Igos got his relatives, friends and neighbors all over the Hai Tide Islands, and took the big guy into the "well-off society" overnight.

...

When Igos browsed the international version of "Tide Current Affairs", he saw a piece of news that shocked him:

"The Parliament of the Thousand Lakes Republic passed the "Knightship Donation Act""

"According to our reporter in The Hague, Jerome York reported that the Parliament of the Thousand Lakes Republic recently passed the "Knightship Donation Act" with a small majority of 2,685 to 2,435 votes..."

"According to the bill, any citizen of the Thousand Lakes Republic can receive the title of honorary knighthood by donating money to the national treasury..."

"Donated 300 Kinnars will be awarded the title of Honorary Lord...1000 Kinnars will be awarded the title of Honorary Baron...2000 Kinnars will be awarded the title of Honorary Viscount...5000 Kinnars will be awarded the title of Honorary Earl... title……"

What shocked Igos most was a sentence in the report:

"In terms of political rights, honorary titles and official titles have equal rights."

Without this sentence, the title of honorable nobility is just a joke.

Who would take a title that Kinner could change to?

However, with this article, the difference between honorary titles and official noble titles becomes very small, except for no territory, the rest are all.

"Oh my God!" Igos couldn't help exclaiming, "You can buy aristocratic status with money, then anyone can become aristocrat, and the number of aristocrats will surely increase. This is tantamount to cutting out the aristocracy. Our foundation... how could the nobles allow such a bill to pass?"

Mr. Neighbor glanced at the headline of the newspaper, and with a simple sentence, all Igos' doubts were resolved.

"What if it is not allowed? After that, who would dare to stand up against Lord Lord?"

"According to the lord's request, in the Assembly of Qianhu Republic, almost half of the councillors are merchants. As long as they buy a part of the small nobles, it will not be difficult to pass the bill..."

The "that incident" in his mouth refers to the "fall of sapphire".

Because the killing was too tragic, hundreds of nobles died, many nobles died in their families, and the number of innocents was extremely large, so this incident was criticized and became the biggest scandal under a certain crown.

Therefore, in the Thousand Lakes Republic and the Tide Islands, almost no one dared to talk about the fall of sapphire publicly. Even if they mentioned it, they would use "that incident" instead.

However, on the other hand, Renault's brutality has scared all the nobles in the kingdom to death, and no one dared to use their brains anymore.

Even the "Knighthood Endowment Act" was unbelievably passed under Renault's secret promotion.
