Blue Silver Grass Guide

"Tian Dou——?"

Qingqiu Li's face was not very pretty, and he squeezed out these two words through his teeth.

Next to him, Long Ang also had a cold face and remained silent.

If it were a certain force in the [Shuimu Principality], even if it was Grand Duke Mufeng or several marquises, they would dare to take a small bite on that cake.

but……

[Tian Dou Empire] Ah, that's the sect's kingdom. A family of soul masters with profound background might pop up and come here to wipe them out.

In the three-thirds of an acre of land in [Shuimu Principality], no matter how you say it, everyone can go through seven twists and turns and eight twists and turns, and there is a bit of affection.

But these things are not that useful between the suzerain country and the subordinate country.

A weak country has no diplomacy, which is one of the truths that prevails in all worlds.

Not to mention that blacksmiths like them cannot represent the [Shuimu Principality], they can only be regarded as middle and lower class existences in the principality.

After all, in this world, small countries look up to big countries, and the people of small countries fear the people of big countries. How can there be people from big countries kneeling down and licking the inferiors of small countries?

Wouldn’t that make him a born bitch who forgets his ancestors?

"hehe--"

Seeing the appearance of the two strongest blacksmiths in the [Shuimu Principality], Ling Yi chuckled twice.

Without first throwing out such an insurmountable 'southern wall', how could these two blacksmiths really let go of themselves and cooperate with them?

Even though Fu Shan has the military of the Shuimu Principality on his back, and Li Qiang has the palace headed by Grand Duke Mufeng standing behind him, they are not identities that can convince people of the same level.

After all, in the final analysis, Fu Shan and Li Qiang are just two high-level workers. They just work for the owner of a small group called Shuimu Principality, and they are the high-level chairman and general manager respectively.

The lower-level workers will be in awe of the two above, but the middle- and lower-level employees have an escape route to change jobs at any time because of their own abilities. They only need to maintain enough respect for their superiors, and that is enough.

Therefore, unable to pull the flag of a tiger and pretend to be a tiger, Ling Yi had to exaggerate the external environment of strong winds, rough waves, deep water and small boats, so that the sailors who wanted to ferry together could contribute their share of the effort safely. After arriving in the New World, everyone will have gold and silver treasures.

Of course, the degree of this exaggeration must be controlled well, so as not to scare people away. It is difficult to recruit capable sailors these days, let alone veterans who have the ability to serve in important positions such as boatswain and battle captain.

Ling Yi waited for Qingqiu Li and Long Ang to calm down a little, then continued with a smile: "Seniors, there is no need to worry, the [Tian Dou Empire] did not take the initiative to come to our [Shui Mu Principality] to do business... …”

After a pause, when the two of them came back to their senses and looked at themselves, Ling Yi said again: "According to my communication with master blacksmiths from various places, in fact, the iron trade volume of nearly 800,000 gold soul coins was ours [ The soul master families from all over the Shuimu Principality took the initiative to purchase them from the [Tian Dou Empire] which is closest to the principality..."

"initiative?"

"buy?"

Qingqiu Li and Long An both frowned, but a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.

I just noticed that the foreign forces in the [Tian Dou Empire] may intervene in the iron market within the principality, but I forgot that because various iron tools require blacksmiths to forge them hammer by hammer, some high-level blacksmiths from various parts of the principality When shopping, orders are often saturated or even queued for a long time.

Because each master has a different level of craftsmanship, people often subconsciously go to the master master to forge the tools they want, rather than looking for the ordinary blacksmith shops opened by low-level and mid-level blacksmiths.

Ling Yi had witnessed this situation many times in the blacksmith shop of his fifth senior brother Wang Meng a few years ago.

This phenomenon will not only make the high-level blacksmiths' blacksmith shops unable to complete their business, but also make the low- and intermediate-level blacksmith shops' business bleak.

Unless, like Beikouhe Town, everyone has no choice because it is located in a rural town, then Master Jiang, who is also an intermediate blacksmith, has always had a pretty good business.

In addition to the shortcoming that the complex triangular relationship between the "dog licker", "goddess" and "rich, rich and handsome" between the buyers and sellers of ironware has led to the introduction of foreign "airborne troops" and disrupted the local market, there is another disadvantage for the blacksmith profession.

Blacksmith is a skilled trade.

In addition to one's own technical talent and strength factors, there is another factor that affects the growth of forging skills, which is the number of forgings one can get started with.

Just like sharpshooters are often fed by bullets, if there are not enough iron weapons for you to shoot, even a talented person like the 'copy soul master' Ling Lingyi cannot achieve the astonishing achievement of being promoted to a blacksmith at the age of fourteen. .

It’s quite shocking. Even the future king of divine craftsmen Lou Gao, who has the guidance of the divine craftsman Tie Futu and unlimited consumables provided by the [Blacksmith Association], became a master blacksmith in his twenties.

Going a step further, back to the improvement of blacksmith skills, enough consumables and enough forging times can ensure that a blacksmith apprentice can steadily improve under the guidance of the master until he reaches the upper limit of his own talent or the highest level of the master. Bottlenecked.

But just like Ling Yi's fifth senior brother Wang Meng, who can forge high-quality weapons that are eight hundred forged, but often receive orders for weapons that are five hundred forged.

If things go on like this, Wang Meng's skills have not deteriorated, which can be considered good.

It's not that Wang Meng doesn't want to keep making weapons worth more than 800 forging, but the cost of consumables is too expensive!

Only when a soul master customer places an order can Wang Meng show off his talents and display all his superb skills.

The consumables of an eight-hundred-forged war sword can often be used to create four or five five-hundred-forged war knives!

This is the ratio of Wang Meng's metal material consumption. Mr. Jin and the three blacksmiths Fu Shan and Li Qiang can control it to about one to two to one to three.

And Ling Yi has Lou Gao's guidance, and can achieve the same level as Lou Gao at 1:18!

Going to the back, every zero point one value is a step that is difficult to climb.

After explaining the situation of the iron market and blacksmith practitioners in the [Shuimu Principality] to Qingqiu Li and Long Ang in a straightforward manner, the reasons and possible consequences were all laid out on the table.

Ling Yi looked at the three blacksmiths beside him: Mr. Jin, Fu Shan, and Li Qiang. Under the affirmative gazes of the three, Ling Yi looked at the two men from "Cold Wind City" and "Blue City" with a serious face. The big brother took the lead and invited:

"Senior Long, Senior Qingqiu, I'm brave enough to invite you two to join us in establishing the [Blacksmith Association·Shuimu Principality Branch], integrating all the blacksmiths in the entire principality, and allocating all iron orders one by one according to the situation of both supply and demand. In the hands of suitable blacksmith masters, low-level blacksmiths and mid-level blacksmiths can have enough orders and business...

It also allows senior blacksmith masters to have the opportunity to get more orders that match their craft level, and hopefully improve their skills..."

"As for the profit, to be honest, a 500-forged weapon is more profitable than ten weapons of the same specification that have just reached a hundred forged weapons!"

"Those who can place orders to purchase weapons worth more than 500 forgings are basically second-level soul masters and above. Everyone is a soul master, so naturally they know that compared to ordinary people, a soul master's golden soul The more coins you have, the more you will spend them where they should be spent——!”

"How much can you earn by just earning ordinary people's silver soul coins and copper soul coins?

If you want to earn, earn the soul master’s golden soul coins—! "
