Release that Witch

211. Chapter 211 Light Industry

    Roland sits at his desk, eyeing chief Knight, who is interested in reporting on first Army.

    Compared to the meticulous appearance of a few months ago, Carter’s iceberg has a lot of other emotions on his face. The feeling of calmness fades a lot, and there is more expectation and urgency.

    Probably related to the Star of the Western Region, he thought.

    Roland also heard a little about Carter’s recent move to May. After all, as one of the top leaders of the First Army, his representative in the military, his every move has people pay attention, not to mention the woman who is as attractive as May.

    When they first appeared side by side on the streets of small town, personal guard had already sent the news to his ears.

    For this kind of thing, Roland doesn’t care. Carter is about two or three years older than himself. It is a strange thing to say that he hasn’t been married yet. It’s not bad to find another half in the Western Region, as long as it doesn’t affect the work. Then it will be alright.

    According to Chief Knight’s report, the First Army has about two hundred revolving rifles in the list, adding almost ten new ones a day – in fact, if the raw materials are enough, Anna’s production capacity can be doubled, but She is responsible for both pig iron and steam engine manufacturing, and the speed is slowing down.

    However, this speed is acceptable. After all, the First Army has only 600 people, and it can be completely replaced in one and a half months. Until the new population expansion tide arrives, the size of the military cannot be further expanded.

    Another point is the formation of the Second Army.

    For the sake of training and confidentiality, the civilians recruited from Longsong Stronghold were approved by Roland and incorporated into the Second Army. Disciplinary training is currently being accepted, that is, the military training. In the evening, it is an ideological education class. I hope that these people will soon be the guardians of the Western Region. The safety of their loved ones requires their belief in protection.

    “At present, the Second Army personnel are progressing well. It is expected that they will be able to transfer to shooting training in a week. By that time, the flicker that was eliminated was enough. ”Carter concludes.

    This is also the advantage of the musket. It takes at least one year to train a cold weapon warrior. It takes about five or six years to train a Knight, and the firearms can only fight for one month. The longer a battle is, the more dominant the firearms are – after all, pulling the trigger is more labor-saving than fighting the sword.

    “The live-fire shooting practice must pay attention to the management of the guns, and how much will be recovered. The same is true for the gunpowder, which was distributed on the spot during the practice and arranged for the First Army veterans to supervise. ”

    “Yes,” he nodded.

    “Very good,” Roland waved his hand. “If that’s the case, go ahead.”

    “Oh, Your Highness…”Carter hesitated. “You said last time that the perfume in the soap is made from sugar cane. Is this true?”

    “Yeah,” the prince leaned back in his chair. “What?”

    “Is that sugar cane expensive?”

    “No…Just an ordinary crop. ”

    “I heard people say that a bottle of thumb-sized perfume at Kingdom Capital can sell five gold royals,” Carter scratched his head. “If this is the case, using sugar cane to make perfume is not a good income for small town. ?”

    “Five gold royal?”Roland groaned, he didn’t think about it. Recalling that in the old palace, Fourth Prince never cared about the price of a daily necessities, especially the less contact with perfume – only women prefer these things that make them full of fragrance.

    The original motivation for his perfume was to get the soap. Otherwise, there is tap water, and the bathroom without soap always feels less, so that the bubble is full of the body is the romance of the bathroom.

    If a small bottle of perfume can also buy several gold royals, it is indeed a good business. Unlike coated mirrors, sugar cane and flowers as raw materials are much cheaper than crystal glass.

    Thinking of this, Roland laughed. “This idea is not bad, I will consider it.”

    “His Highness, that…Can I bring a cane out of the castle? ”The Chief Knight asked with expectation.

    “No problem,” he heard, and he guessed what the other party wanted to do. Western Region is not like Port of Clear Water. The plants in the fjord are rare here. It is a good gift to be a lady. Choose, “On the wall in the backyard, pick it yourself.”

    “Thank you, Your Royal Highness!”Carter retire.

    Then Roland called Barov – it is no longer appropriate to call him the Assistant Minister. As the number one in City Hall, he is considered the Border Town’s Executive Premier Minister.

    After Barov was seated, Roland said the perfume thing. “How do you think this business can make a big gold royal?”

    He didn’t answer immediately, but asked with wide eyes. “His Royal Highness, do you really know that the perfume is made of that sweet crop?”

    “Isn’t soap also sent to you?” The reason why there is a fragrance is that it is mixed with perfume,” Roland said. “The raw materials are indeed worthless. I just don’t know if Kingdom Capital’s perfume is as expensive as Carter said. ”

    “More than that, His Royal Highness!”Barov said with excitement, “Perfume is the top secret of the Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association, which is around a thousand bottles a year, and only a small portion of it will be sold at Kingdom Capital. Selling to other cities in Greycastle can increase prices by 20% to 30%. If sold to the fjord and other kingdoms, the price can almost double. In order to prevent businessmen from earning the difference, the association not only firmly controls the price of perfumes in other places, but even the merchants have to personally specify them. If you can produce perfumes, even if you only sell them to Scarlet Water City and Fallen Dragon Ridge, you can get a good return. ”

    “So that’s it.”No loss is the person who has served as an assistant to the Minister of Finance for 20 years. Roland thought that Barov is indeed very good at the price and trade of goods. With this information, he also formed a preliminary plan in his heart.

    There are many ways to make perfume. The easiest way is to smash the petals or herbs with unique aroma into alcohol, let the alcohol dissolve the aromatic oil in the plant, and finally filter out the residue.

    Alcohol comes from sugar cane juice fermentation; aromatic oil raw material can be rose, or more common rosemary and spirit Vanilla. However, in order to achieve mass production, it is the best choice for Leaf to cultivate a group of magic plants that can directly secrete aromatic oil.

    In addition to perfumes, the industry can also manufacture white sugar and white wine at the same time. It is also a demanding consumable. Although the profit is not as good as perfume, if it can be sold to the townspeople at a low price, enriching their recipes is also a big part for people’s livelihood. progress.

    Roland’s delay in developing light industry is due to the shortage of manpower. It is difficult for small-scale production of daily necessities to earn high profits. It is the most cost-effective way to invest a limited population in heavy industry production.

    Since the production of perfume is profitable, maybe he can take this opportunity to make up for this missing link.
