After the caravan left, Roland breathed a long sigh.
Finally... the vault is full again.
There are eight steam engines delivered to the three chambers of commerce, including three produced from the No. 2 factory established by the No. 2 Chamber of Commerce assisted by the No. 2 Chamber of Commerce. It has to be said that these craftsmen from the Fjord have far higher talent and learning ability than miners and blacksmiths in the town. After mastering the machine tool operation, the final product pass rate has risen sharply. Maybe in two months, the No. 2 Factory's production capacity will catch up with No. 1 Factory.
Fortunately, according to the contract signed, the sales revenue of these machines belongs to Roland.
In addition, he also received a new hydrogen balloon purchase order from the Fir Moon Bay Caravan. Marland was very interested in this kind of thing that could greatly expand his horizons. In addition to the single-person scout balloon, he also specially customized a giant balloon that can carry three to four people, intending to explore the new islands of the Fjord.
With the delivery of the first paddle steamer, the three brought nearly 7,000 golden dragons to the Bianfeng Town. After deducting the expenses of purchasing metal ingots, scrubs and grain, the remaining 6,000 golden dragons were enough to support his population expansion plan.
Roland summoned Barov and Iron Axe into the office.
Now that we have the remaining money, it is time to go to other places to recruit more people.He looked at the two capable generals. This operation was carried out jointly by the City Hall and the First Army. You decide the specific personnel yourself. I will only explain the general tasks.
Please say.The manager nodded.
Recruitment is divided into two directions, the north and the south.Roland pulled out a map from the table and spread it in front of the two, especially from the front line of Eagle City to Bishui Port... I suspect that Tifeko has regarded these people as part of the Carsian forces and is a useless population that can be consumed at will, so you have to grab them first.
The team sent by the city hall is responsible for recruiting nobles, craftsmen and other literate people, while the main task of the First Army is to recruit civilians. Unlike previous propaganda, this time the methods should be more proactive. Do you understand what I mean?
The iron axe hesitated for a moment, you mean... forcefully pulling?
Cough cough, there is no need to do that. Roland coughed twice. Shamin's style is indeed simple and crude, such as distributing food, proactive persuasion, paying living expenses in advance, etc.He glanced at Barov, you should be very clear about this set.
Of course, Your Highness, when I was in the capital, I helped the ministers and patrols to suppress and appease the refugee riots many times. The latter touched his beard and said, "Their requests are very simple, sometimes they just fill their stomachs, so there is no need to use coins to win over them, and even if the salary conditions are too generous, they will become suspicious."The down-and-out nobles are a lot of trouble. Although they are short of money and no longer have a glory, they are knowledgeable and have high requirements. They will not travel thousands of miles with us for a piece of steamed bun. Only then do they need to use money and promises to lure us.
Roland slapped his palms twice with satisfaction. Unfortunately, there are many things in the Border Town, so you can't go there in person, otherwise this task will be successfully completed.
Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will send my most proud disciples to you.Barov smiled and said, "It would be better if the city was built next year, both sides of the Chishui River can be filled with houses."
There will be such a day.
After the two left, Roland leaned on the back of the chair for a while and decided to go to the north slope backyard to see Anna.
As soon as you enter the door, the first thing that comes into your eyes is the metal squares all over the ground.
Roland picked up a piece and put it in his palm. They were basically the same size, about five centimeters long and wide, with a surface not flat, as if they had been squeezed by something, and one side was also engraved with a number.
For example, the piece in his hand is engraved with the words No. 256.
How about it, are there any better discoveries?
No. 1057 and No. 2284, one is particularly hard, while the other is excellent in both hardness and toughness.Anna greeted and said, her face filled with a bright smile.
Have you achieved more than two thousand numbers?Roland said in surprise. He took the record book handed over by Lucia, which was densely filled with data.
Found a line of 2284, and after finding the number, it says carbon content 08%, and unknown element No. 4 is 152%.
Well, this is much more interesting than the sharpening barrel. Anna blinked her eyes and mixed other metals into the iron block, which actually changed its properties. I really want to know how these small metal balls are combined together.
The exploration that Anna and Lucia are doing is a profound work.
Roland first asked the little girl to decompose the ore into a variety of raw materials, and then Anna mixed them with pure iron at different mass ratios. After making a test block, it tested its performance. Through the extrusion and stretching of the black fire, Anna can distinguish the amount of magic consumed in each operation, thereby judging its strength and toughness.
The first one to add was obviously carbon.
Although Roland knew that steel was essentially an iron-carbon alloy: if there was too much carbon, it was pig iron, and if there was no carbon, it was pure iron. Only when the carbon content was within a certain range could it be called steel, and a slight fluctuation could greatly change the metal properties, so the first thing to measure was the size of this range.
It can be seen from the records that before No. 1500, it was simply melting iron and carbon, and after No. 1500, new elements began to be added to the steel.
Roland knew that for every extra number of permutations, the possible results would be multiplied, which was an extremely long process, so he only asked Anna to explore this part of the content when the task was not heavy.
He encouraged the two witches and sat aside, quietly admiring Anna's busy back.
Although the sunshine after autumn is still bright, it is no longer as vicious as summer. He feels warm all over his body, and a long-lost sense of stability surges in his heart.
I don’t know how long it took, but the yard gradually became quiet.
He suddenly felt a soft hand placed in front of his forehead, and opened his half-closed eyes. Lucia was gone, and Anna was sitting in front of him, you had something to say to me.
……
Your eyes told me, she tilted her head and the ends of her hair naturally hang down like strands of translucent gold wire.
Roland hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly. I was just a little confused.He roughly told the other party about the population expansion plan. Compared to his initial free choice, he has used some semi-temptation and semi-forced methods to seize the time.Although this was done to avoid them being forced to be snatched by Tifeko and eventually died of the pills, if you think seriously, what I did was not too far from him... The only difference was the purpose.
Can't the purpose tell everything?She asked softly.
But……
I know what you want to say, Anna covered the prince's mouth, you were worried that they would not appreciate it, and at the same time, you could not guarantee that your future purpose will always be misunderstood by using wrong means to achieve the correct purpose, or the correct means have caused irreversible mistakes... You don't know whether the correct means are important or the correct result is important.Am I right?
Don't worry, before he could answer, Anna had already come forward, holding Roland's cheek with both hands, and whispered in his ear, "I'm here... I'll look at you well."
