Release that Witch Chapter 188: “Good show begins!”

After Northern Slope Mine field visits and two consecutive days of discussions, Roland reached new trade contracts with Hogg and Crescent Moon Bay Caravan.

After seeing Hogg's orbital mining system running like a fly, the eyes beads almost fell out. He even filed an application to invest money to build a factory in Border Town, specializing in the construction of mining tracks and supporting equipment, and the profits were shared by half. However, -- was rejected by Roland to attract investment. It is only something that can be done when there are many people. What small town lacks now is People, not money.

After all, Hogg is just a mining businessman. Although he owns several mines and manages an open-air silver mine for Kambala Earl at Silver Light City, only the miners can get it. Compared to Crescent Moon Bay, the strength of owning an island is much worse. . In the end, the contract he signed was steam engine, which was ordered six months later, the same number of ten units, and a complete set of mining transportation systems (including rails and mining carts). Half of the Months of Demons was delivered before the rest, and the rest was replenished the following year.

Crescent Moon Bay Caravan has a lot of tone. Gamore directly signed a ten-year contract. When the caravan comes next time, he will bring a team of three hundred people, mainly composed of blacksmiths and carpenters. The remuneration of these people is paid by Crescent Moon Bay, Roland only needs to provide accommodation and food. The steam engine produced by them in ten years is sold to Crescent Moon Bay first. After ten years, they decided to stay -- voluntarily. Roland discussed it after repeated negotiations.

There is no doubt that this group of people will definitely have a caravan confidant. Even after adding this, the other party will inevitably choose people who are loyal to Crescent Moon Bay as much as possible. At that time, half of the people who decide to stay will not know. . But for Roland, skilled workers are not enough, leaving Chengdu to make money. He was never worried about technical advantages, but that no one came to turn his technology into actual products.

Besides steam engine, the second big order comes from ship modification.

With three hundred craftsmen, there are also two inland river sailing ships. Crescent Moon Bay Caravan hopes that Border Town will convert it into a steam-powered Stream Ship. The cost of a single ship modification will be as high as 1,800 gold royal. Margery's steam engine order. In contrast, although the Mug received three orders, the total amount is less than three hundred gold royal --. This is still at the price of Roland ten times the situation of convenience stores. This made him can't help feeling the profit gap between industrial products and civilian products. If mass production is not possible, civilian products will simply meet the needs of small town residents.

To the prince's surprise, both the iron breastplate and iron farm tools were left out. Later, Margery answered his doubts at dinner. "Although your breastplate is indeed cheaper, but the output is too small. If you resell it, each piece will be shipped with cost and taxes, maybe only five or six gold royal profits. And "Your armor is forged by a hydraulic forging hammer? Or you just use steam engine ... Regardless, the price of this armor is very fixed, and it is expensive on high-quality iron materials, not on labor." She paused, "It is even more unnecessary to buy it for your own use. Marine merchants, whether they are guards or sailors, rarely wear heavy iron armor, which will cause them to sink quickly when they fall into the water. In most cases, the armor is for them. Shackles, not protection. "

"The same is true for agricultural tools. If you ca n’t get a lot of cheap iron, it will not be too cheap even if it is cheap. Compared to similar local products, it is difficult to form any advantages. Unlike those colorful cups, the price is completely absent. If you meet a certain number of noble, maybe you can earn several times. "

"So that's it." Roland thought for a while, and found that it is true ... For the stable price of armors and agricultural tools, the material cost accounted for the bulk of situation, it was difficult to keep the price down too much. -- he was cheaper and cheaper in the steam engine forging ratio. Water hammer is more efficient, but unfortunately this difference is not enough to arouse the interest of big businessmen.

Also, the whiteboard armor with Soraya anti-stab coating is also part of the First Army dressup. Before the iron production is up, a lot of sales are impossible.

...

The anticipated drama premiere is coming soon.

In the afternoon, the townspeople surrounded the central square with a leaky --. It was still under the old situation that Roland demolished the surrounding old buildings and doubled the square area.

In order to play a publicity role, Roland started to issue a notice to notify citizen a week in advance, and also ordered Ministry of Agriculture to send people to small town's outer residential area to mobilize serfs to watch the drama.

Roland, as feudal lord, obviously has the best viewing position. In the direction facing the performance stage, Karl set up a temporary wooden platform. The wooden platform has three rows and can accommodate about 100 people. Roland sits in the middle of the third floor. One side is Witch Union, next to him is Anna, the other side is the merchant group, the closest is Margery.

The first and second floors are mostly City Hall officials and apprentices.

To ensure safety, the people around the wooden platform are First Army soldiers. While watching the drama, they isolate the prince's location from the civilians.

At this time around 4pm, the sun's heat has faded, and the cool breeze rolled up from time to time by Wendy makes everyone on the stage enjoy VIP-like treatment.

With the applause of everyone, the actors stepped on the stage one by one.

To be honest, Roland has no idea what effect this premiere will achieve in the end. After handing over the script to Irene, he never managed it again, whether it was recruiting or rehearsing. She and Ferlin are busy. Looking back now, how much experience can a newcomer to the theater make on the stage only once? And the friends she found, it is estimated that all of them were unable to perform at the stronghold theater, so they went to small town's dragon actors.

In other words, this is a new drama directed, choreographed and implemented by the newcomer team.

Fortunately, Roland doesn't mind failure, this drama is not for ticket income, nor to promote how good the script is. It was an enlightenment of ideological transformation, and it was performed more than once. This time it did not play well, next time there is progress then it will be alright.

"I know why you are so confident in this show," Margery suddenly exclaimed, "You have invited Miss May!"

Roland startled, "Who?"

"May, don't tell me you don't know about it! Oh my god, I have watched her performance at Kingdom Capital before I came here," Margery pouted. She is top-notch. "Prince Seeking Love" earned tears from many people, even Cajin Fez praised her! "

"Who is Cajin Fez?" Roland turned memory and found that there was no impression for the name at all.

"... Her Highness, are you really a Kingdom Capital person?" Margery blinked, "I take the liberty to ask, who is the person you are most familiar with in Kingdom Capital? Except in the court."

"" Magic Hand "Hugo," Roland blurted out, and immediately found it bad.

"Oh," the business woman glanced at him meaningfully, "The most famous Playboy, I heard that both hands alone can make a woman forget about him ... I understand."

"Only by hand?" Anna tilted his head, "Why?"

"No ... nothing." Roland said, "Let's watch the show seriously."
