Chapter 136 No Longer Short of Money (510)

When Chi Nan returned to the outside of Hongshaling, Fara's compensation had already been delivered to him. Chi Nan checked the compensation and nodded slightly. This amount of compensation was not small, but it was definitely not much either.

"Lord, what should we do with these iron ingots? We are now using red sand steel, so these iron ingots can only be left unused."

Chi Nan waved his hand: "This is simple. These iron ingots are all high-quality iron. Let the blacksmiths recruit more apprentices, and these will be used for the apprentices to practice. These iron ingots are not used to make weapons and armor, but to make iron pots, shovels and various farm tools, and then they will be used by the people in the territory."

"My lord, these are all good iron. Isn't it a waste to make these things?"

Chi Nan said seriously: "Old Muka, you must know that if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Without good tools, how can various industries in our territory develop?"

Old Muka looked serious. What he said made a lot of sense. Although he couldn't understand it, what the lord said was right. "Then my lord, I suggest that this batch of items can only be used within the scope of Hongsha Town. These are all good irons. If they are taken out, I am worried that some people will sell them to people outside at a high price."

So this is the saying, and Chi Nan only knew it now. Thinking of this, Chi Nan nodded and said, "Okay, let's use it inside Hongsha Town first. Once they get a taste of the sweetness, they will naturally stop messing around."

Old Muka pondered for a moment and continued, "Sir, the first month's gold dragons for the front line have been delivered. They are urging us to ship them now." Old Muka handed a form to Chi Nan.

It was exactly what the first batch of gold dragons needed to buy pea cannons on the front line. "I didn't expect them to be so anxious. In that case, let's give them 5,000 pea cannons for the first month." Chi Nan waved his hand, and Old Muka breathed a sigh of relief. Those big shots have been waiting here all the time, and he is under a lot of pressure.

Chi Nan himself didn't expect that Earl Longgen would be so anxious. Although he walked very slowly along the way, he was also traveling light after all. The people sent by Earl Longgen brought a large number of gold dragons and were so fast.

But soon Chi Nan didn't feel strange anymore. Three pea cannons for one golden dragon, and a golden dragon with five thousand pea cannons is just one box, but five thousand pea cannons are not a small number. So although there are many people coming and many carts being pulled, these carts are all empty. One box can be filled with gold coins, so their speed is naturally not slow.

In fact, the pea cannons have been prepared long ago. These pea cannons are planted on the chassis wood. After they grow up, the soldiers cut the bottom of the chassis wood and pull out the pea cannons intact.

After that, they are inserted into the ground without care, and they will grow well naturally. The pea cannons strengthened by Chi Nan can adapt to any kind of land and basically do not need too much special care.

Soon, Lao Muka began to direct them to move, and Chi Nan just took a look and started the next experiment.

"I can't always give birth to so many pea cannons, so I still have to think of a way. I have not been able to complete my ideas before, because my strength is not enough, and now I don't know if it will work."

Chi Nan hid behind and experimented secretly. His idea was to create a special plant that specializes in producing pea cannon seeds, as long as he designed it himself. This plant must be more difficult to transplant than the jujube tree. Chi Nan had remembered that the iron bark tree was stolen last time, and he didn't want it to happen again.

Then, this special seed can't be planted anywhere casually, and the conditions must be very harsh. At this time, Chi Nan adjusted the new chassis wood, which just met this harsh condition.

In this way, with seeds and chassis wood as farmland, as long as his soldiers collected the seeds and planted them on the chassis wood, they could harvest a batch of mature pea cannons in a month.

Because this kind of pea cannon grows naturally, the life of the pea cannon itself is longer than that of the one he induced. But at the same time, because it grows, there will be some unqualified products among them. These need soldiers to select them through testing and then concentrate them and destroy them.

But no matter how much trouble there is, in short, once this method is successful, the output of pea cannons will become very exaggerated in the future. Chi Nan was experimenting while ignoring the people transporting goods in front of him.

After a whole day of experimenting, until the next day, Chi Nan finally completed a strange plant full of pods in his hand. "Finally, it's made. With this thing, I can be free."

"Next, it's the planting of pneumatic cannons. This kind of thing can't just rely on myself. Pneumatic cannons are larger, have a longer growth cycle, and it's impossible to grow wheels, only brackets. It takes about three months of natural growth, and seeds are probably even more difficult to get. No matter what, let's try it first. Anyway, we have to test it first."

After Chi Nan made some pea cannon seed making machines, he told his soldiers how to plant them, and then started planting in a newly built manor, which was strictly controlled.

This kind of place can't be thrown away, otherwise it will be mastered by others. This is a military factory. This model has not been imitated by anyone yet. In Chi Nan's opinion, this is much better than industrial development.

If it cannot be imitated, it is a monopoly, and who dares to say that they are monopolizing it? After explaining everything, Chi Nan began to study the seeds of the pneumatic cannon. Soon the pneumatic cannon will go on sale.

But before it started, Chi Nan received a letter, which was given to him by the third princess Sophira.

"Haha, it's just as I thought. The royal family does know what I mean. There is one golden dragon for one hundred pneumatic cannons, the royal family takes 50%, and Sophie takes 20%. I can get thirty golden dragons by selling one pneumatic cannon. Apart from the cost of making the wheel and the labor of the craftsmen, we can still retain more than twenty-nine golden dragons. This labor is really cheap. "

"Sir, the royal family asked for too much. They actually took away 70% of it in one go."

Chi Nan waved his hand: "Old Muka, you can't say that. The royal family occupies the majority, so they can safely get the rest. Even these, I feel that they take too much, and it can easily cause others to be angry. It seemed that Chi Nan had to find a way to use it. It was not because the golden dragon was unclear. The golden dragon was just a foreign object, and what really mattered was his own strength.
