"It's done!"

An excited shout woke Mousse from his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked forward. The early morning light was already shining in from the window.

It was already dawn. The two of them really had stayed up all night.

After many experiments by Windlow and the Holy Grail Knights, they finally found a gunpowder weapon plan that suits Bretonnia's national conditions.

Bretonnian steel is of too poor a quality to handle the overcharges of gunpowder required, and each charge is only half of what an Imperial gunpowder weapon would hold.

At the same time, the weight and size of the projectile remain unchanged, so it can be made into a simple musket.

Due to the small amount of powder, the range is only 90 meters, and the armor-piercing damage is only half of that of the Imperial musket.

But this was also an epic leap, which allowed Bretonnia's research on gunpowder weapons to leapfrog several hundred years.

After some copying, the Holy Grail Knight wrote down the entire process of making the musket on the drawing.

Then he ran out of the manor and called the farmers in his territory to start building a factory.

As expected of a Holy Grail Knight, he was still full of energy after staying up all night. However, Windlow's energy had reached its limit and he fell asleep while sitting next to Mousse.

The Dark Elf Dread Lord did not show any disgust, but instead let Windlow rest his head on his shoulder.

"Have a good rest. You've been busy all night. How did the Holy Grail Knight stay so energetic?"

By the time Windlow recovered his strength, the city of Glamorgan had already built a most basic gun workshop.

Similar to the Empire's assembly line, the Holy Grail Knight also built something similar to an assembly line.

Extra peasants were called up from the fields to work in workshops, where they were actually paid wages and were exempt from taxes.

This made the production efficiency in the factory reach a very terrifying speed, and a musket with bullets was produced almost every minute.

The monkey version of the musket produced is similar to the Empire's flintlock pistol, and is a good substitute.

The Holy Grail Knight himself was very happy as he had the gunpowder weapons production line he had always dreamed of. The local farmers were also very happy as they could hunt better with muskets. Needless to say, the employees in the factory were also very happy.

Only four people have kept a straight face from the beginning till now.

As neighbors of the Holy Grail Knight, each of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse received a fine musket as a gift from him.

According to the restrictions of Bretonnia's chivalry, each knight cannot use ranged weapons.

At the same time, according to the restrictions of Bretonnia's chivalry, knights may not refuse any orders issued by the Holy Grail Knights.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse didn't want to use gunpowder weapons at all, but they had no choice but to hold them in their hands.

Justice held a shovel and a musket, while Honor held a rapier in one hand and a musket in the other. If it weren't for the full set of chain mail they were wearing, they would probably be mistaken for a female witch hunter if they walked across the empire.

Heroic held the hammer chain and the musket, and for a moment he didn't know which hand to use which weapon.

Honesty did pick up the musket, which he placed on top of his shield. He could crouch behind the giant shield and use the musket to safely attack the enemies in front of him.

Since it was a gift from the Holy Grail Knights, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had no choice but to be trained on how to use the muskets.

As the number of training sessions increased, they also discovered the greatest truth.

From seven steps away, the gun is fast; from seven steps away, the gun is both accurate and fast.

As a reward for opening a gun workshop, the Holy Grail Knight gave Windlow 20 gold coins. After all, in Bretonnia, farmers grow crops and pay taxes.

There was basically not much cash, and imperial merchants like Windlow would not accept crops as collateral.

After receiving his share of the 10 gold coins, Mousse finally couldn't sit still anymore.

After making so much effort and contribution and putting in so much hard work, I only got 10 gold coins as a reward?

But thinking about the terrifying power of the Holy Grail Knight, he could only vent all his complaints on Windlow.

"Is this also a business? In my opinion, it's a loss-making business."

Mousse was right. The few days that Windlow spent stationed in Glamorgan were completely wasted. Not only did he not sell much of the goods shipped from Marienburg, he also did not make much money.

Making less money is equivalent to losing money, which is simply unbearable!

After listening to Mousse's complaints, Wendlow smiled. How could he lose money? Mousse just valued cash too much and didn't notice the business opportunities at all.

“We’re going to make a lot of money now!”

In business, there has always been a very old but very useful concept.

What the enemy doesn’t have, I have; what the enemy has, I am better; if the enemy is better, I will change my career.

The most profitable one is the first step, which is to seize the market as soon as it appears.

The gunpowder business in Bretonnia is just starting now, and it even started this morning. Now Windlow is the first person to discover the market.

All he had to do was open a new trade route and establish a trade line between Glamorgan and Marienburg, and he would definitely be able to make money.

Although the inferior black powder here is of poor quality, as long as it is a commodity, it will have its own market.

It is not necessary to seize the high-end market. The consumption in the low-end market is still quite large. If you compete and I compete, won't we have more things?

"Mouse, we are going to open a leather case company in the future to be responsible for such a trade line. It will be called the Empire Burning Earth Foreign Trade Company."

"We have Gelt's endorsement. The power behind us is the Elector. Other merchants can't get involved! We have a monopoly on the business!"

After hearing this, Mousse also understood the current situation. Yes, occupying the trade routes first and monopolizing them is the most profitable thing.

There are also companies and so on. I have seen many human companies along the way. As long as you start a company, you can make a lot of money.

“Okay, I’ll start this company!”

Mousse was so motivated? Wendlow was a little surprised, but he still nodded in agreement.

Starting a company is not an easy task. Even starting a shell company requires many steps and operations.

Mousse first dealt with the internal affairs of the company, while Windlow was responsible for handling the external affairs of the company, including negotiating profit sharing and business taxes with the Holy Grail Knights.

As long as the tax is negotiated well and everyone gets a share of the pie, and the exclusive rights to Glamorgan's low-quality gunpowder muskets are obtained, as long as it is a monopoly, even selling screws will be profitable.

Wendlow and Mousse walked past each other, clapped their hands, and from now on they had their own tasks.

Mousse's cold heart began to beat excitedly again, and now she was like the Lord of Terror who returned to the battlefield.

"I've heard from Wendlow a long time ago that the business world is like a battlefield. This familiar warmth in my heart, ha, here I come, fighting."
