Chapter 110 111. Happy Cooperation
More than an hour later, Luo Ning and others returned to Wushan Fortress.
Rulans and others, who didn't know what they were discussing, looked at the unpacked curved plow that had been brought back. The shape of this plow was completely different from the plows used in various manors. At first glance, it seemed to be lighter and more flexible.
At this time, there was still mud on the plow blade, obviously it had just been used.
Rulans looked at Albert, who seemed to have something to say since entering the fortress.
"Go ahead, political officer."
Albert was a little excited, "My Lord Marquis, the baron who invented the curved plow is really a genius. I never thought that a plow could bring such a big change to farmers' farming!"
The political officer excitedly raised three fingers.
"First of all, it is light and flexible, and only one person and one cow can operate it perfectly!"
"Secondly, it can also adjust the depth of the soil to adapt to various terrains. My God, this ability is amazing!"
Albert had an exaggerated expression on his face, "Most importantly, it can plow deeply and turn the soil completely, which is very helpful for increasing grain production!"
"Mr. Marquis, Sir Toru, our territory and manor need such a plow!"
"With it, the difficulty of reclaiming the land will be reduced, the grain production will be increased, and the value brought is very great!"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if the political official was overacting? Although this matter was led by the Marquis, it doesn't need to be so exaggerated, right?
"Is it really that amazing?"
"It's really that amazing!"
The financial officer Curry echoed. If it weren't for the financial implications of the transaction, he would have followed, otherwise he would have missed the demonstration of the use of the curved plow.
"Albert found people who are good at farming. After they became familiar with the use of the curved plow, they all came to these conclusions."
Everyone looked at Roning in surprise, but saw the latter spread his hands, as if to say that this was the fact.
Toru squatted beside the curved plow and looked at it. Although he was not a baron yet, he had several large manors outside, and reclamation was indeed a problem.
"Baron, how are you going to sell this thing? I'll order 100 first!"
The political officer Albert suggested to Rulans: "Sir, if necessary, we can order 1,000 first!"
Rulans nodded.
In fact, he was not very interested in these things, but he also knew the importance of cultivated land and food to a lord.
The political officer and the financial officer are both old men for many years. Since both of them said it was useful, it should not be bad, so he bought a batch.
Seeing that Rulans agreed, Albert immediately said to Roning: "Baron, then we need 1,000, and it is best to transport them before the spring plowing!"
Roning couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"Everyone, you seem to have forgotten that I am just a small lord in a remote area. I don't have enough manpower and iron ore to make so many curved plows. What's more, the ones I made are not enough for Shanlin Town. Where can I get extra plows to sell?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they remembered the situation in Ronin's territory.
Albert asked: "What are you going to do?"
"I can sell you the drawings of making curved plows, and provide you with technical support at the same time."
Ronin said his plan, "You can send carpenters and blacksmiths to visit and learn in my territory, and I will let my craftsmen teach them how to make them."
"Of course, if your craftsmen are smart enough, they can also make them completely according to the drawings."
The curved plow is more advanced, but it does not have too high a technical barrier.
Ronin only needs to sell one, and I believe that there will be imitations in a short time. At that time, he will only make a little profit on the cost price.
And what he said is also the truth. Shanlin Town cannot produce so many.
Financial officer Curry smelled the scent of money, "You mean to sell this invention to Wushanbao?"
"Yes, Wushanbao will pay for it in one lump sum."
Ronin smiled, "As for how Mr. Curry is going to operate, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me."
Curry's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Then I wonder what price you are going to sell this curved plow for?"
Ronin stretched out three fingers: "Three thousand gold coins!"
Hiss~
Everyone looked at this price sideways.
This is not thirty gold coins, nor three hundred gold coins, but three thousand gold coins!
"This... This is too expensive!"
Galil said in shock. He was the one who had seen the least money among the group (except Ronin and his men).
Even Lu Lans couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This much money was enough for him to buy ten excellent quality war horses.
Luo Ning smiled and said, "I believe that with the ability of Wushanbao's financial officer, it should not be difficult to earn back these 3,000 gold coins."
It was too troublesome for Luo Ning to make money in a steady stream.
There was no caravan in Shanlin Town, and he could not go to various noble territories to sell and promote like a businessman.
So he chose to buy out.
Wushanbao was different from him. It had a financial officer, a caravan, and salesmen, and could sell it to various lords before the curved plow became popular.
Even if each lord sold it for 300 gold, as long as ten lords were willing to buy it, it would be profitable.
Of course, not all lords are willing to spend this money, and not all lords have iron mines and blacksmiths and want to build it themselves.
Then these people can also buy the finished Quyuan plow from outside. As for how to price it at that time, that is not Luo Ning's concern.
However, Luo Ning is not worried that there will be no market when he wants to sell his plows one day.
He is confident that through enough experiments and attempts, he can replicate the blast furnace iron-making technology. By then using pig iron to cast agricultural tools, coupled with softening technology, he can quickly produce plows, greatly saving the cost of manufacturing curved shaft plows.
At that time, the Quyuan plow launched by Luoning could definitely open up the market at a lower price.
Finance Officer Curry glanced at Lu Lans and found that the latter had no objection. He smiled, bowed slightly to Luo Ning, and said humbly:
"Thank you for your compliment. We can accept the price you proposed."
Tolu patted the soil that had just been pulled from the plow in his hand, and stared at the financial officer with a wary expression, "What should I do? Curry, you won't sell me this technology for three thousand gold coins, will you?" ?”
"Hahaha, of course it won't..."
Curry smiled and said: "Sir Tolu can buy the finished product from Wushanbao if needed, and we will sell it to you at a preferential price. But before I sell the Quyuan plow to other nobles, please help me with this piece." Things are kept confidential.”
He looked at Luo Ning. He knew mostly negative information about the baron and was worried that he would sell it again.
"This is natural, please believe in my credibility!"
At this time, Galil stepped forward and said, "I just discussed with the Marquis and my father. We need 120 ironwood shields, 200 ironwood spears, 50 ironwood chest protectors and 30 ironwood pieces." Zha Jia, when we get back today, Quartermaster Dawson will formally submit our order."
Luo Ning knew from the data that this was prepared for a standard knight team. The quantity seemed to be quite a lot, but after careful calculation, it was not guaranteed to have one person.
Thinking about it, Galil prepared these things more for the knights and infantrymen to use. Regular knights can only use ironmuzha armor, and the demand for other things is low.
“Happy to work with!”
Luo Ning couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to hold the other person's hand, "I believe this batch of goods will not disappoint you."
This trip to Wushanpu can be said to be a fruitful experience.
For Luo Ning, now that the order is there, he has to worry about how to complete the order.
At present, there are only two carpenters, William and Multa, in the ironwood workshop, and they have not yet hired a few apprentices. It cannot be said that it is difficult to complete this order in a short time, but it is quite difficult.
Lu Lansi's voice interrupted Luo Ning's melancholy. He reminded: "Luo Ning, Wushan Castle is still a bit far from Shanlin Town after all. If you still have any goods to sell, you can go to Muma City to find Viscount Marvin. "
"The Iron Hoof family's caravans are spread all over Wushan Territory and even most cities in the kingdom. As long as your price is reasonable, I think Marvin will be interested."
"I see!"
Luo Ning pondered and nodded slowly.
"grown ups!"
Finance Officer Curry said: "Although Shanlin Town is far away, it is only a day's journey at the speed of a messenger bird. If the Baron still has such business, he can use a messenger bird to send messages. I am willing to take my troops to Shanlin Town to discuss it in person. "
"Hahaha~"
Lulans laughed, "You old guy is still the same as before. If you smell the smell of money, you will get there."
Curry chuckled, why can't he earn the money that Wuma City can earn?
Moreover, was the old Marquis reminding Luo Ning to discuss cooperation with Viscount Marvin? That was clearly not the case.
So what Curry just said has two meanings.
"But you did remind me when it came to the letter birds."
Lulans turned to Luo Ning again and said with a smile: "After returning this time, let the bird trainer from Wushanbao follow him to Shanlin Town to build bird paths in the two places. Otherwise, I want to ask Luo Ning If you write a letter, you have to ask Muma City to deliver it.”
Luo Ning's eyes lit up, this is good.
After he killed Prince, he was particularly worried that Thain would launch a surprise attack. At that time, he thought that it would be great if there was a messenger bird, and the timely news could be a deterrent to Baron Leisen.
"So, thank you so much, Grandpa!"
Thank you Mr. Xiaoxiaocao for the reward~Thank you all for your votes~~~
