I traveled through time and became the Lord of Natural Disaster

Chapter 112 Upstart

Reid unknowingly talked a lot to the players, maybe the pumpkin porridge is too delicious, or maybe the delicious side dishes are too delicious, of course, it's more likely because he really feels that the future is very slim.

Master's blacksmith shop does not belong to him, even if he can find a job in the future by relying on his craft, there is absolutely no way to compare with now.

After all, relying on Master now, I can take many large orders. If it was an order of 10 axes before, how could I let myself out to deliver the goods?
Master wished he could be around the clock.

The players learned a lot from Reid. Although what he said was not detailed, they could deduce what precautions Reid was talking about by virtue of the player's ability to search for information.

"It seems that forging iron is really very interesting. If there is a chance, I will ask you for more advice." The old man Zhong Shan said sincerely

Reid froze for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "You want to be blacksmiths too?"

"No, we hope to make something more useful, not blacksmithing, but steelmaking." Old man Zhong Shan told the truth, he didn't think there was any problem with such communication, after all, sooner or later Reid would know what he was doing of.

Such a large steelmaking plant will be very famous in Tana City and even the entire Federation in the future.

So there's no need to hide it.

"You want to make steel? The kind that produces factory equipment?" There are no particularly high-tech factories in Tana City. The factories are mainly used to produce daily necessities such as food or porcelain, but Rhett has also seen some high-tech ones. Things, such as the printing press in the newspaper office, look very complicated, and the materials used are much better than those made by the blacksmiths themselves.

It is said that it is the production technology of the capital of the kingdom. It is impossible to produce it in a small place like Tana City. It is quite remarkable to be able to import one.

So if it is broken, no one will repair it. Rhett also tried to repair the machine, but to be honest, he really didn't understand the structure inside.

Hearing that these Xiahui people wanted to make steel, his first reaction was that these people have higher technology than himself!
His eyes lit up immediately, what would happen if he mastered a technique that even his master didn't know?
"It can be said that our main purpose is to produce tools that everyone can afford. Haven't you noticed that the production efficiency in Tana City is very low? Manor planting still uses very crude manual methods, and the tools are not handy. The old man Zhong Shan pointed to the land under the mountain, "And I heard that the nobles will soon import harvesters for harvesting, which means that sooner or later these industrial products will replace the current manual farming methods, and at least they can save a lot of manpower."

"Then what about these serfs?" Rhett suddenly said worriedly.

"They can enter our steel factory, and they can also work in the factory. In short, at least they are much better than serfs. I know that serfs generally have no wages." Tana City is a very strange city. There are no native-born farmers, and those who grow food are serfs.

It is said that 300 years ago, the descendants of the captives in the federal war became serfs.

Later, the Federation would also purchase serf populations from other countries, and Tana City was originally an autonomous city, so the use of serfs by nobles can be said to be somewhat unscrupulous.

Every year, a large number of serfs are starved to death or exhausted by the nobles, so it is more suitable to be workers.

At least that's how it looks right now.

Reid thought for a while, and then said to the old man Zhong Shan: "If you really want to make steel, I think I may be able to help. If you are willing to hire me then, I am willing to assist you to do it together."

"You really think so?" Elder Zhong Shan said in surprise.

He didn't expect that a skilled blacksmith would decide to join in after only chatting with himself for a while.

"Of course I also hope to do something big." Rhett drank the last bit of pumpkin porridge, "If you need any help in the future, just come to the blacksmith shop and find me."

"Thank you so much." This is definitely a surprise for the players.

I used to think that the favorability of NPCs was not good, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

The ones that are not easy to farm may only be those famous NPCs who can name, manage players, or churches.

For civilian NPCs, favorability may be very easy to brush.

After Red left, the players once again devoted themselves to the exciting work. With the tools, the speed of cutting wood was much faster.

The players were divided into two parts, one part stayed in the coking place, chopping firewood, drying firewood, and the other part carried wood on the mountain.

Andrew, who was sitting in the room, opened the window and saw the cooking smoke above the coking plant at a glance.

In the factory area of ​​Tana City, there are very few similar smokes. After all, Tana City is mainly light industry.

It seems that the iron ore has to be put on the agenda quickly, otherwise the believers have prepared coke, how can they do it before they have bought the ore?

Holding the documents again, he walked out of the room, got into a carriage, and arrived at the chamber of commerce.

"I'm glad you can figure it out." Gaisen, the receptionist of the Chamber of Commerce, said with a smile, "These iron ores are already at a very low price."

"That's right. I want to know, what is the purchase price of steel plates and the like from the Chamber of Commerce?" Andrew replied calmly.

He has been negotiating with the chamber of commerce for many days, but this guy named Gaisen has been clinging to the price.

If he bought it at the price he said, Andrew would really be at a loss.

Because the other party asked to use Sid to make the purchase, not Tana.

This is also the recent reform of the Chamber of Commerce. For commoners, they can refuse Tana's exchange, because civilians cannot enter the Chamber of Commerce at all.

Civilians can only be stopped outside based on clothing alone.

As for the nobles, they either exchanged Tana directly for Sid, or traded directly with Sid.

In other words, the chamber of commerce will never give up its last little interest.

Then Andrew has to sign a purchase agreement with the other party, otherwise he is really at a loss.

Geisen didn't think that this guy who didn't look so rich could really produce any steel.

The chamber of commerce has never lacked such similar takers. These guys often take one or two small adventures and suddenly have more money in their hands, and then think about continuing to take risks, expand their operations, and lose themselves to death.

Gaison had heard of this guy named Andrew for a long time.

The guy who got rich suddenly bought half a street of shops in the shopping street, but didn't rent out many at all.

And he even built an orphanage out of kindness... It's ridiculous when you think about it.

How many people can he feed?
