The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 247 Buy a magic machine!

Mysore is very clear that Windsor is in the rising period of territorial development, and eating the next batch of refugees is definitely a trivial matter.

Moreover, it is also Ross Sodol's strategic partner. It is better to hand over refugees to Ikert than to other opponents.

"Well, do you want to try to help me?"

The meaning in Mysore's words is obvious. When the expansion cannot be carried out, he hopes that Ikert can solve this trouble for him.

Ikert is fully capable and can eat these refugees.

But if we do that, although we can add a large amount of cheap labor to the territorial industry, we will lose the most important external market.

The current products that can be produced in the territory are nothing more than firearms, artillery and magic machines.

The sale of the first two must be restricted based on territorial security considerations, but the technology of the magic machine is easy to let go, and this thing is not high in technology, and the principle is low in secrecy. It is better to enjoy a wave of starting bonuses first.

If it is said that Ikt has a territory as large as the entire empire and a huge population, it is not impossible to make internal circulation within the territory and make a difference between workers and peasants, but the reality is very skinny. Only a small territory cannot support a huge market demand.

He must let the Mysore seniors fall into the pit!

"Senior, speaking with conscience, you are willing to let the people come to my Windsor, it is really an act of righteousness, I am very grateful,
But I am not here to take advantage of you, but I have an opportunity to share with you. "Ickert said very sincerely.

"What opportunity?"

Mysore felt a little curious. The lord whose territory had developed to his level was very keen on new sources of income.

After all, a large part of the current source of income is controlled by aristocratic families and high-ranking mages, and many cities will not be able to support a more promising economic system when they develop to a certain extent.

Mainly because the threshold for high-level spells is too high.

Ikert could see the longing in Mysore's eyes.

"Senior, I have already brought the things, why don't we go downstairs to have a look now?"

"Of course! I can't wait!"

Mysore happily followed Eckert downstairs. Ickert ordered people to open the carriage, remove the magic motor, and ordered the Ratman engineer to install the components neatly.

A warrior rat walked up to the flywheel and started the routine manual start, spinning the heavy flywheel.

"Turn around!"

Mysore exclaimed, obviously, the big machine in front of him is different from any magical equipment he has ever seen, it is a thing that can output mechanical power constantly!
As a person who has an understanding of the territorial industry, Mysore immediately thought of the multiple uses of the magic machine, including transporting goods in mines, pulling ships forward, replacing human forging, etc.
"I probably understand what you mean by opportunity, but I still have some concerns and need to ask you for advice"

Mysore then asked Eckert about the specific production capacity of the magic motor, and got a conclusion that was more than [-] times faster than the times, and even faster!
This drives Mysore completely crazy!

"Do you really know what you're talking about? Even if it's just three times, I can produce more than three times more swords than other territories, and depending on what you mean, I'm afraid a magic machine can drive more than one machine, I Wouldn’t it be nice to fill the square of Rosesodol with this kind of machine?”

Mysore is a bit afraid to think about it. If the entire territory is covered with magic machines and production machines, he even dares to contract the supply of arms for the entire empire!
"Ikert, I need to take a break."

Mysore couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his body. Before, he thought that this opportunity was either a little spice, a resource like salt, or some kind of novel magic product.

He really didn't expect that Ickert would take out this kind of thing without saying a word. Shouldn't this thing be kept as a secret in the territory?

But after thinking about it, the other party took out such an explosive thing, so it must be a bit tricky.

"Uh, junior, let me ask, how much do I need to pay to buy the machine in front of me?"

Mysore intends to start with the price first.

I saw Ikert extended five fingers generously.

"Five thousand copper coins?"

"Stop joking, senior."

"Haha, yes, then... five hundred big silver coins?"

"It's almost a little far away."

"Is this far away?"

Mysore couldn't help but gasped.

"You don't want to say five hundred small gold coins, do you?"

The gold content of the imperial small gold coins is about [-]%, almost three grams of gold content per gold coin, and [-] small gold coins are close to the price of [-] grams of gold!
"Why don't you go grab it?"

Mysore was shocked. Is your machine made of gold or silver?
In fact, Ickert's offer is quite conscientious.

When the steam engine first appeared in the UK, there was no one worth thousands of pounds. I don’t understand this. As far as the gold content of the South Seas small gold coins is concerned, the sum of two small gold coins is worth less than one pound.
At that time, the gold content of one pound was 7.32238 grams.

A steam engine with slightly more horsepower can easily be sold for 1 taels of silver.

Ickert used some magic to some extent, and reduced a lot of costs by exploiting the Laidley clan and the ratman factory workers. It was really cheap to get it for five hundred gold coins.

It's really not that he doesn't want to earn more, no matter how expensive it is, the lords of the empire won't be able to afford it!

"Senior, don't think it's too expensive. You have to know that there is quite a lot of magic wire in this machine. We have to develop, design, and get real iron materials and manufacturing. There is no way to save money. .

What's more, the wealth that this machine can create is not comparable to mere five hundred gold coins. You also know that the better armed swords on the market now start with five large silver coins.

You can save at least three times the cost by using the magic machine, and I can also provide you with some purchase channels for blacksmith slave labor.

If you think about it carefully, with this magic machine and three magic forging hammers, you can at least get hundreds of good swords in a month, and the cost is only about a big silver coin, even if it is only released at the original price, a month You can earn 400 big silver coins!

With the value of high-purity large silver coins, you can earn back the gold coins you spend in a year at most. This is just a simple buying and selling of weapons, and it is also a low-efficiency forging! "

"Yes, I admit." Mysore felt that this condition was quite attractive. Although the money seemed difficult to earn, it was actually much easier to do than other industries.

Because he only needs to maintain a certain quality, and then use the quantity to defeat the opponent. He doesn't need to work hard just to roll like those high-level mages.

The risks and costs of engaging in industry also exist.

"But then I still need to buy a new machine from you, and I have to hire someone to maintain and operate it. What if my precious machine breaks one day?
You don't even have a repair quotation ready, tell me, how much does it cost for a repair? "

As a mature lord, Mysore still knows some business routines. These are the usual methods used by those high-level mages, and it is impossible for Ikert to not use them.

Mysore indeed guessed Ickert's intentions, but Windsor also came prepared. No one would follow such a high-cost business without the manufacturer's warranty.

"Please rest assured, Senior Mysore, our reputation is guaranteed. We can customize your market plan and the machines you need. All machines are guaranteed for one year free of charge and two years with a discount. This is enough to protect your income. .”
