Chapter 87 Progress and the Alchemist Guild

Seven-Pointed Star is the main classic taught by The Seven , according to the seven forms of God, it is divided into the corresponding seven chapters of the Gospels. The official version has a total of more than 300,000 words, and the printed pages together with the accompanying drawings are full of hundreds of pages.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to buy such a book that is made of parchment and relies on manual transcription and painting, it will cost at least one Golden Dragon, and usually there is still no market for it, you need to order— - No one has the energy and spare money to get a lot of and the others to buy.

After the completion of the first Seven-Pointed Star printed and bound with plant fiber paper, Tyrion took this sample to Church to sell it. With his identity and eloquence, he successfully got the No. One order - Church ordered a thousand copies for thirty Silver Stags each, and ten thousand copies of brochures and drawings with specific content provided by Church for one Silver Stag.

Coupled with some small orders from merchants and various stores pulled by the salesmen recruited by Tyrion... The factory has not yet started, and it can be said that many customers are tentative about new things. The amount of the order has already reached hundreds of Golden Dragons. Intimidated by the identity of House Lannister, some small customers even paid in advance.

The first set of engravings had already been completed, and Tyrion saw that the situation was far from good... No, maybe it was because the situation was too good, and he had decisively ordered the production of the second set of engravings.

......

The above is just one copy of "Seven-Pointed Star", the rest of the calendar is also worth dozens of Golden Dragon sporadic orders, while the novel and Xiao Huang The preparations for this book have also begun intensive preparations... Unfortunately, people who can write books are hard to find, and Igor has not yet found people with experience and innate talent in H content.

He began to feel a little uneasy: If you really can't find it, you can't go out with oneself. It's okay to write something like OOXX. Oneself has experience, but you can illustrate things... This world doesn't have cameras and computers. , all the pictures are hand-painted!

It's too early to think about this, when we get to the mountain, there'll be a way through.

After discussion, the site of the factory is located outside the city wall in the southwest of King's Landing, slightly upstream of many ports in Blackwater Rush, and to the south of the martial stage.

There are many reasons for seeing this place: there is such a large open and clean site outside the city wall, and it is close to the river for easy water collection and sewage discharge and utilization of hydraulic power; it is not far from the black liquid port, the King's Landing gate and the road It also meets the conditions of convenient transportation; the poor living around the city wall are the best source of cheap labor. After days of map research and site visits, Igor and Tyrion finally found this open field, a few miles outside of King's Gate, just a few hundred straight lines from the road, next to Blackwater Rush, a former field.

It stands to reason that this location is not far from King's Landing and is located on the south bank of Blackwater Rush. It should be very popular and already occupied by people. Fortunately, this is not the modern world full of savvy speculators before Igor traveled. The land around King's Landing is all King Robert's personal property, and there is a very important point that affects land prices: in this era, land without city wall protection does not preserve its value.

You know, in the original plot, even the place with the highest land price outside the King's Landing wall—King's Landing black liquid port outside Mud Gate is a busy and lively place. During the Battle of the Five Kings, Stannis When he led the land and sea army to attack King's Landing from two sides, all the buildings were ordered to be demolished by Tyrion, who organized the King's Landing defense battle, so as not to become a springboard for the enemy to attack the city.

And the place that Igor and Tyrion finally chose is in the west of the above-mentioned prosperous area, the black liquid "bay" has become a black liquid "river" here, and the river bank is narrow and fast-flowing, not suitable for merchants When the ship was docked, it was considered worthless by the merchants. The original trees had been idle since they were cut down, and some farmers who lived in the vicinity privately occupied some vegetables and fruits.

Arya likes oneself's sword technique coach very much... As a father, Ed, who is influenced by his daughter, has a slight affection for Igor under the influence of Aiwu and Wu. promotion; and as Prime Minister and Lord of the North, he was actually interested in Igor's idea of developing the Night's Watch business in King's Landing. So, as easy as blowing off dust, the Chief Logistics Officer got the right to use that large piece of land from the Prime Minister - as long as the farmers were paid for the destroyed crops, not even the rent to Iron Throne.

Perfect.

Have a good construction team and a good plan, and the construction of Night's Watch's first stronghold in the south has begun.

On this day, Igor and Tyrion ended their inspection of the site together and returned to King's Landing together.

......

"Maybe I should move here in the future, not only is the place big, but it doesn't smell bad."

"The place is good, just far from the brothel It's too far."

"There are too many people in the industrial area, and prostitutes will naturally follow. In the future, there will also be a brothel belonging to the property of Night's Watch." Speaking of the brothel, Igor couldn't help but dwarf for oneself Friends are worried. Because of oneself, Tyrion never met that Shae again, but after all, he is not too young, and he doesn't know if he can find true love in this life: "Of course, a prostitute for workers can't serve the noble Lord Lannister, you Why not raise oneself?"

"I like to change my taste from time to time." Tyrion didn't pay attention to Igor's joke, but said seriously: "I suggest you still live in the city, it's convenient for you to move out. , but what about your cute little disc? She is the daughter of the Prime Minister, how could it be possible to come here every day for a dozen or more li to take your sword technique class? Having such a child from House Stark is very helpful to our career. Help, you can't leave her out even if you don't think about personal preference."

"Indeed." Igor knew this without Tyrion reminding Igor that Arya's presence was a huge help to oneself:" It's just nothing serious, I'll try to stay in the city."

"But you did remind me." Tyrion quickly turned the topic elsewhere: "Building a factory is a business, providing workers with Service is also a business. In the future, we can oneself find someone to open a canteen, various shops, brothels, casinos - right next to the factory, and then restrict workers from leaving during work hours and only allow them to consume within the factory area. In this way, we can completely Raise the wages a little bit, anyway, the workers still consume part of the money they take, isn't that the stable capital chain you want!"

It's too fast, and the characters haven't even been written off yet. , why even the idea of the service industry came up, Tyrion, you are the transmigrator, right? Igor gave him a sideways glance: "What a black-hearted Boss, he is worthy of the title of Imp."

"I learned from you, I am Imp, you are a big devil!" dwarf pointed out to him Ruthless gestures, ruthless counterattack: "I just want money, but you are thinking of abducting people to The Wall to wildling and kill Others, killing others!"

......

Originally It was just a joke, but Igor found that oneself couldn't joke about it at all, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified: "Someone has to do it."

"Yeah, someone has to do it. This thing." Tyrion also immediately realized that something was wrong, oneself often does this, joking and not paying attention to the heat. He quickly changed the subject: "When the time comes, the salary of these people must be high."

"Well, it must be high." Igor voted, he was afraid of death, and did not want to face the natural enemies of human beings oneself. But it can give honor and security to those who face it.

The two tacitly avoided this topic and continued to discuss other aspects: the matter of raising investment also came to the fore, a young noble living in King's Landing was persuaded to be optimistic about Tyrion Unfortunately, there is no decision in the family to be the owner of a large amount of money, so I notified the elders to come to King's Landing - just wait for the Crownlands count to arrive at King's Landing in two days to visit the workshop and products. An investment is likely to come.

Riding side by side, the two returned from King's Gate to King's Landing, bypassed the Visania Hills, passed the Street of Steel, passed the Great Sept of Baelor, and Igor suddenly found a strange building .

In fact, he saw it on the first day he came to King's Landing, but the smell of King's Landing and the unfamiliar feeling completely overwhelmed all other feelings, but as he became more familiar with King's Landing, The sense of violation of this building is getting stronger and stronger: this is a grand building that looks like a big hotel, it is obviously taller than the surrounding buildings, but it is much smaller than the big Sept just passed; it is obviously located in King's Landing The city center of the city seems to be in disrepair, the gates are closed and no one can come and go, and even some broken windows are not repaired.

"What's that building for?"

Tyrion looked up: "That, the Alchemist Guild Hall."
