Release that Witch Chapter 211: Light industry

Roland sat at his desk and looked with interest at Chief Knight, who came to report on the status of First Army.

Compared with the meticulous appearance a few months ago, the Carter iceberg face now has a different kind of emotion, and the sense of calmness has faded a lot, with more expectations and impatience inside.

It's probably related to the Western Region star, he thought.

About Roland, Carter recently got closer to May. After all, as one of the top executives of First Army, his representative in the army has been noticed by everyone in his every move, not to mention being surrounded by a striking woman like May.

When they first appeared side by side on the streets of small town, personal guard had already heard the news.

For this kind of thing, Roland doesn't care. Carter is about two or three years older than himself. It is strange that it is not true that it is true that you can find the other half on Western Region. Affects work then it will be alright.

According to the Chief Knight report, First Army currently has about two hundred runners installed. It can be added ten times a day. In fact, if the raw materials are sufficient, the production capacity of Anna can be doubled. To be responsible for both pig iron steelmaking and steam engine, the speed has slowed down.

However, this speed is acceptable. After all, there are only 600 people in First Army, and it will be completed in a month and a half. Until the new wave of population expansion arrives, the size of the army cannot be further expanded for the time being.

The other point is the formation of Second Army.

For the convenience of training and the need for confidentiality, the civilians collected from Longsong Stronghold passed the audit and were all incorporated into Second Army by Roland. Currently undergoing discipline training, that is, the military training. In the evening, it is an ideological education class, striving for these people to have the belief that they are guardians of Western Region as soon as possible, and the safety of their loved ones needs their protection.

"At present, the training of Second Army personnel is progressing well. It is expected that they will be able to switch to firing training in another week. By then, the bursts eliminated will be enough." Carter concluded.

This is also the advantage. It takes at least a year to train a cold weapon warrior, and it takes about five or six years to train a Knight, and the soldier can fight in only one month. The longer a battle lasts, the more dominant the soldier will be. After all, pulling the trigger will save more effort than swinging the sword.

"The live-fire shooting practice must pay attention to the management of the support, as much as you need to recover. gunpowder is the same, distributed on the spot during the practice, First Army veterans are responsible for supervision.

"Yes," he nodded.

"Very well," Roland waved his hand, "Since that's the case, go and get busy."

"Uh, Your Highness ..." Carter hesitated and said, "Last time you said that the perfume in the soap was made from sugar cane, is this true?"

"Yeah," the prince leaned on his chair, "what happened?"

"Is that sugarcane expensive?"

"No ... just ordinary crops."

"I heard people say that a bottle of perfume at the size of Kingdom Capital can reach five gold royal," Carter scratched his head. "If this is the case, wouldn't sugarcane perfume bring a huge income to small town?"

"Five gold royal?" Roland startled, which he did not think about. Recalling that when I was in the palace, Fourth Prince never cared about the price of a daily necessities, and even less touched things such as perfume. Only women prefer these things that can make them full of fragrance.

The original motivation for his perfume was nothing more than soap. Otherwise, the bathroom without running water always feels like something is missing, and it ’s the romance of the bathroom to fill the whole body with bubbles.

If you can buy several gold royal with a small bottle of perfume, it is indeed a good business. Unlike coated mirrors, sugar cane and flowers are much cheaper than crystal glass.

Thinking here, Roland laughed, "This idea is a good idea, I will consider it."

"Her Highness, then ... can I bring a sugarcane out of the castle?" Chief Knight asked expectantly.

"Anyway," when he heard this tone, he guessed what the other person wanted to do. Western Region is not like Port of Clear Water after all. The plants in the fjord are quite rare here. It is a good choice to please the lady as a gift. Just on the wall in the backyard, pick it yourself. "

"Thank Your Highness!" Carter retired.

Then Roland called Barov. Now it is not appropriate to call him Assistant Minister. As the number one in City Hall, he can be regarded as Border Town's administrative Prime Minister.

After Barov is seated, Roland will say about the perfume, "What do you think of this business, can you earn a large amount of gold royal?"

He didn't immediately answer, but asked with wide eyes, "Your Highness, are you sure that the perfume is made of that sweet crop?"

"Is n’t the soap also given to you? The reason why it is scented is that it is mixed with perfume," Roland said, "Its raw materials are indeed these worthless things. I just do n’t know, Kingdom Capital Is the perfume really as expensive as Carter said. "

"It's more than that, Your Highness!" Barov said excitedly, "Perfume is a top-secret product of Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association, which is around a thousand bottles every year, and only a small part of it will be in Kingdom Capital. If you transfer to other cities in Greycastle, you can Let the price increase by 20%, if you go to the fjords and other kingdoms, the price can almost double. In order to prevent merchants from earning the difference, the association not only firmly controls the perfume prices in other places, but even the merchants must specify them by themselves. If you You can produce perfume, even if you only give Scarlet Water City and Fallen Dragon Ridge, you can get rich returns.

"So that's it." It is a person who has been an assistant to Minister of Finance for 20 years. Roland thought that Barov is really good at the price of goods and trade. With this information, he also formed a preliminary plan.

There are many ways to perfume. The simplest is to mash and smash petals or herbs with unique fragrance into alcohol, let the alcohol dissolve the aromatic oil in the plant, and finally filter out the residue, then dilute it with joining water. use.

Alcohol comes from sugar cane juice fermentation; the aroma oil can be rose or the more common rosemary and spirit Vanilla. However, since it is necessary to achieve mass production, it is the best choice for Leaf to cultivate a batch of magic modified plants that can directly secrete aromatic oils.

In addition to perfume, the industry can also be sugar and liquor at the same time. It is also a consumable with a lot of demand. Although the profit is not as good as perfume, but if it can be given to townspeople at low prices and enrich their recipes, it will also be a benefit for people's livelihood. Great progress.

The reason why Roland does not develop light industry is that under-staffed situation, small-scale production of daily necessities is difficult to earn high profits. It is the most cost-effective method to invest a limited population into heavy industry production.

Since it is profitable to produce perfume, maybe he can take this opportunity to make up for this missing link. (To be continued.)
