I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 151 Lead, Sugar

"Damn the Senate, why don't you allow the legion to expand!"

Hearing Pangge's words, Lu Deng gritted his teeth angrily.

The Senate neither allowed the expansion of the legion, nor allowed Panger to control more legions.

Luden's production line is still continuously producing weapons and equipment.

If the work is stopped, it will not be a big loss for Lu Deng.

He can put the smelted iron ore in the warehouse to eat ashes. As strategic resources, their own value will not depreciate.

As for artificial please, what is the difference between artificial and free in this era?
The dwarves are all slaves, and with the addition of the sacred mine's faith bonus, as long as they are provided with enough wine and food, they can work day and night.

If the dwarves had money in their pockets, they would even have to pay Luden for their work on the Holy Mine!

Damn, why are these guys slaves?
If these dwarves were commoners, not only would Luden not have to worry about the dwarves' food and lodging expenses, but he could even charge a part of the blessing fee to let them come to work in the holy mine!

It is a beautiful thing to pay to work in the Holy Mine? !
As for miner Luden, he seldom uses slaves, and only civilians are hired.

He despises slave owners, and even more despises slavery.

The slaves are always clumsy, often fish, and have no enthusiasm for work.

What a miner.

Luden announced that in the case of a guaranteed minimum salary, it will provide step-by-step rewards for production capacity.

In theory, a miner can earn up to 20 Misos a day!

One day, earn other people's wages for ten days, or even half a month!

On the day the reward plan was announced, the output of the mine doubled!
People were digging wildly like desperately. They had blisters on their hands, which bleed out after breaking open, and then formed scabs. No one paid attention to it.

Where can I find such a good employer as Mr. Luden?

Luden, on the other hand, only earned a small, meager, and reasonable profit.

Luden can indeed slow down.

However, if you earn less miso, isn't that a loss of money? !

Luden would never allow such a thing to happen!

no way!

Luden, who was pacing back and forth in the house, began to think that iron could still be used in those places.

farm tools?

He has already dumped it, and the trading of agricultural tools in Shenbang has been substantially monopolized by Luden.

For this reason, the Palace of Slashing and Geng went to the Palace of Greed to complain. How does the Palace of Slash and Geng organize production?

It's time to take care of it!

The practice of the Greedy Palace is also very simple.

Forced Luden to split up the farm tool sales store under his name, and at the same time, asked Luden not to sell at a price below the cost.

Furious, Luden took the account books to Judge Gured that day and lodged a serious protest.

That day, curses came from the depths of the palace of greed,
"Your selling price is lower than others' cost!"

"What? You still have profit? I don't believe it, you bring the account book!"

"Luden, you earn 5 meters for a 3.5-meter hoe, you can do this kind of thing?!"

"."

Judge Gured never expected that Luden could reduce the cost to such an extent!
Outrageous!

Judge Gured quickly realized another thing, raised his eyebrows,
"Wait! The equipment you sold to the Hall of War."

The cost of farm tools is so low, even though they are sold below the market price, Luden still has such a high profit.

What about weapons?

You must know that the purchase of the War Palace has always been based on market prices!
Moreover, the goods provided by Luden are indeed what you pay for, so the Greedy Palace has never felt that there is any problem, and the transaction is going on normally.

Luden immediately took back the account book, changed his face,
"When we produced weapons, we used stricter and more advanced manufacturing techniques, and the cost rose uncontrollably a lot!"

Luden yelled,

"I'm even going to apply for a stipend!"

Justice Gured: .
I believe in your evil!
How can people be so shameless?

In terms of farm tools, there is no hope.

Lu Deng has already seized other markets that require iron.

what else
Luden paced in the small building, thinking about this question.

Outside the small building, a pair of eyes stared at him from the gap in the window.

The woman smiled.

Two thousand years ago, Mr. Luden also worried about the same thing.

Steel is out of stock!
save us!

That time, Lu Deng used iron wherever iron could be used.

This time, what is he going to do?
While Luden was thinking about the problem, Awu and Spartacus were sitting outside the door, blowing the pleasant autumn wind.

Spartacus untied the water bag and handed it to Awu first.

After several months of getting along, he is quite satisfied with this student.

Awu has a strong learning ability and is also very sensible.

The only downside, is that Ah Wu was never treated like a slave.

This put Awu in an embarrassing situation.

Spartacus had a hard time seeing him as one of his own.

Awu sniffed the water bag, shook his head and refused,
"No, Mr. Spartacus, Mr. Luden won't let me drink."

Spartak retracted the water bag, took a sip, and sighed comfortably.

Awu hesitated for a moment, and persuaded,
"Mr. Spartacus, you'd better drink less."

Spartacus nodded,

"I know that good wine always wears down people's fighting spirit, but proper enjoyment is for better fighting."

"No, not for that reason, I mean sugar."

Awu rowed, not knowing how to describe this matter.

"You mean lead candy?"

Spartak frowned.

Sugar is a luxury.

Ordinary poor people can't afford it at all.

Even the citizens of Shenbang can only buy white lead sugar, which is made from grapes and other fruits in a lead pot. The price is relatively affordable, compared with honey.

Adding lead sugar to wine can not only prevent the wine from going bad, but also increase the sweetness and make the wine more delicious.

For Spartak, this is an extremely luxurious enjoyment.

"Yes, lead sugar."

Awu repeated,
"Mr. Luden once said that this thing is bad and poisonous."

Then, Awu introduced to Spartacus.

In the small building, all utensils are insulated from lead.

There are a few pieces of lead candy, but they are for entertaining guests.

In Mr. Rutton's words, add normal sugar when he orders it to be added.

Lead sugar will be added to guests only under special emphasis.

Of course, Mr. Luden's glass was not refillable.

Besides Xiaolou, Al was also warned by Luden to stay away from anything related to lead.

When Luden and Pang mentioned this matter, Pang's attitude was very clear:
"I drink honey."

Luden: .
Pang Ge doesn't like to eat sweets, even if he eats, it is a special offer.

Lead sugar?

what is that?
In any case, Mr. Luden's concept of healthy living has influenced some people.

Justice Guread also began to reject lead candy.

As for the university students. They live a very simple life and drink tea of ​​the worst quality with no sugar added at all.

"Lead is poisonous?"

After listening to Awu's words, Spartacus looked at the water bag in his hand as if he were looking at a snake or scorpion.

He did not doubt Mr. Luden's words.

Mr. Luden was one of the most knowledgeable people he had ever met, and his status in Spartacus' heart even surpassed that of a university student.

In the ancient books, Mr. Luden can always find all kinds of strange things, and then turn the rot into magic.

For Mr. Luden, Spartacus has only one comment:
"Unfortunately, he is not a slave."

How nice it would be if Mr. Luden was a slave!

Spartacus thought about taking Mr. Luden away forcibly and taking him elsewhere, so that Mr. Luden could be reduced to a slave.

Ahem, it's different from the plot of ordinary small movies.

Spartacus just wanted Mr. Luden to do something for the slaves.

With Mr. Luden's talent, he should be able to do it easily.

Unfortunately, Spartacus abandoned this idea.

On the one hand, Mr. Luden always has people from the Inquisition around him.

As long as there is any change in Spartak, he will not be able to succeed.

On the other hand, Mr. Luden's health is too bad.

He coughed all the time, was exhausted when he climbed to the top of the city, and half his life would have been taken by a carriage.

Spartacus was afraid of tossing down, the great cause was not accomplished, and Luden died first
Spartacus frowned and asked,

"Why are we building plumbing made of lead if lead is poisonous?"

"what?"

The conversation between Spartacus and Awu was interrupted by Luden.

Obviously, Luden heard the key words and interrupted his thinking.

Luden asked,
"You said that Shenbang's water pipes are all made of lead?"

Spartacus nodded and asked, "Don't Mr. Luden know?"

Luden really didn't know!
After he entered Shenbang, he observed many things, learned a lot, and did a lot.

But a wise man is bound to lose something if he thinks about it.

Lu Deng really didn't know that Shenbang's water pipes were all made of lead!
As if he had discovered a new continent, he grabbed his windbreaker and rushed out of the small building.

"Prepare the car!"

"Go to the Senate!"

Luden is like a high-spirited gladiator, stepping onto the supreme arena.

He said firmly,

"I will send blessings to Shenbang!"

Inside the Senate,
The elders who were summoned in a hurry have not yet figured out what is going on.

Justice Proud, who presided over the meeting, emphasized to Luden that,

"Tribune Luden, the Kingdom of God is now at war, and most of your authority has been withdrawn. I hope you know this."

Luden nodded, indicating that he understood.

He came today, he has more important things to do!
"Everyone, from the ancient books, I found a shocking fact"

As soon as Luden spoke, the elders began to collectively roll their eyes.

Ancient books, ancient books, what the hell are ancient books!

Are you a tribune or an archaeologist?

How many things are there in the ancient books, can you finish it all at once?

"Lead, poisonous!"

When Luden said this conclusion, the elders were not shocked.

After all, some of Luden's conversations with Pang and Al will also be leaked.

Luden believed that lead was poisonous, and everyone had heard a little bit about it.

What's more, such cheap goods as lead candy cannot be seen by the elders.

Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?

Luden changed the topic,
"Shenbang's water pipes are lead pipes."

hiss--

The elders discovered that things are not that simple!
When it was time to meet, Luden suggested,

"I suggest iron pipes instead of lead!"

Lu Deng assured the elders that the production of iron pipes would definitely be sufficient!
Moreover, for the safety of the citizens and civilians of the Kingdom of God, Luden is willing to sell iron pipes at a low price!

He really, I cried to death.

"Mr. Luden, I must remind you of one thing!"

The great elder said angrily,

"Even if the lead pipe is poisonous, the cost of the iron pipe can be reduced to a tolerable range. But the iron pipe will corrode, and it is not as durable as you think!"

Although he is a veteran, he still has common sense in life.

"Will it break?"

Facing the doubts of the Grand Elder, Lu Deng's eyes have changed into the appearance of Miso, seeing a bigger market,
"Great! You can change it again!"

　Lead sugar is poisonous, do not eat!
