LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia

Chapter 95 Damn, I pretended to be this guy again

So before that, the Illuminator Church was the center, and newspapers were published in nearby residents.

The newspapers published in the previous issue can even be free, because they are only trial versions of tabloids, and at best they can only test the market reaction.

You can also run small advertisements to prepare for the follow-up.

When newspapers can be printed on a large scale, they can enter the charging mode and start to make real profits.

The blueprint drawn by Lu Qi's words made everyone present seem to see a bright future.

But then, a question from Navis also created a new problem.

"Your Highness, not to mention the entire capital, even if it is a third of the capital, how can we ensure that the newspaper can be delivered in a short time by manpower delivery?"

She raised her hand and expressed her thoughts.

This question suddenly made everyone present ponder.

And from the very beginning, they knew that Lu Qi planned to let the children of the church serve as newspaper messengers. This job was not difficult, and they could also earn money by their own ability.

Of course, not all children in the church are required to deliver newspapers, but only some capable ones are selected.

After all, you can't let a child of three, four, or five years old start running to deliver newspapers.

Even older ones may be fine if they just run around.

But the group of newspapers must be large-scale. With the physical strength of children, how can we ensure that the newspapers can be delivered in a very short time?
You know, even if it is a third of the capital, it is not small.

Riding a horse is one way, but let alone whether the child can ride a horse, even if he can, the price of that horse is not cheap.

In this way, the investment and return are completely out of proportion.

"What you said, I have already figured out how to solve it."

Lu Qi was already prepared for this problem.

Since the speed of delivering newspapers is slow, then find a way to speed up the speed, or it will be over.

It's nothing more than a matter of multiple means of transport.

Lu Qi couldn't build a four-wheeled car, but could a two-wheeled car still stump him?
Everyone was curious.

Lu Qi showed a masterly smile and led them to Navis' office.

I found the paper and pen here, and after looking for the feeling, I started to sketch on it.

Navis, Meili and Corson could tell at a glance that Lu Qi was drawing a blueprint of something unknown.

And Lacus, Kashina, and Fiona watched with curious eyes.

I saw Lu Qi's hands not stopping, and the sound of swishing swishing kept ringing in the room, drawing one drawing after another, his eyes were like a ruler, and he didn't need to hesitate when he wrote.

Mei Li and Ke Sen were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. It was the first time they saw someone who didn't even need a draft, even a measuring ruler and other tools, and started drawing drawings directly.

Is this His Royal Highness?

Why is the gap between people so big?
And Navis's glasses were full of admiration.

Although the three of Lacus couldn't understand, they could vaguely sense that Lu Qi seemed to be doing something awesome.

The three of Navis were looking at the blueprints, while the three of them were looking at Lu Qi's focused profile.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Qi raised his pen and announced that work was over.

Lacus asked curiously, "What did you draw?"

Lu Qi replied, "I call it a bicycle."

"Is it great?"

Lacus asked incomprehensibly.

Lu Qi didn't speak, and Navis, who picked up the blueprint and glanced at it, had already answered for him: "It's amazing!"

She raised her tone a little, and focused all her attention on the drawings, quickly flipping through them one by one.

Every time she looked at one, Mei Li and Ke Sen hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, amazed at the same time.

"It's amazing! As expected of His Highness!"

"If I'm not mistaken, there's no doubt that this bike is also a life-changing tool for driving."

Unlike the focused Navis.

Corson and Mei Li wished they had drawn these blueprints at this time, and they also admired Lu Qi's mood.

They are craftsmen, even if they are not competent inventors, they still understand the gold content of the blueprints in front of them.

This bicycle, if it is not the concept picture, is unlikely to replace horses and carriages, but it is definitely a driving tool that is several times lighter than horses and carriages.

The most important thing is that it is cheap to manufacture and can be mass-produced and sold.

It might be a design no less than a hand-cranked printing press.

The only pity is that these blueprints are too perfect, even the details are marked on them, and there is nothing wrong with them at all.

When Navis improves the hand-operated printing machine, she needs them to provide some assistance. They are equivalent to assistants, so they will be nominated in the future.

However, for the blueprint of the bicycle in front of them, all they have to do is use a hammer to hammer out the same parts as the blueprint, and then assemble them together.

The most jaw-dropping thing is that it only took 10 minutes to produce such an awesome blueprint.

If this is spread to the craftsmen outside, no one will believe it.

After listening to it, Lux entered into a state where although she couldn't understand it, she felt very powerful.

Kashina stared at Lu Qi's face with shining eyes.

The sight in Fiona's eyes has not been taken back for a long time. The mystery on Lu Qi's body has never dissipated in her eyes, and even as time goes by, it becomes more and more curious, as if it has its own gravity. People are stuck.

At this moment, the corner of Lu Qi's mouth also evoked a satisfied smile.

Only Lux saw the little smirk in this guy's smile, so she couldn't help curling her lips.

Damn it, I pretended to be this guy again.

At this time, Navis recovered from the drawing and couldn't help saying: "In this case, we need to expand the manpower again."

Manpower, especially the scarce human resources with technology, is often very expensive in this era of underdeveloped industries.

Now, if speed and quality are to be guaranteed, there must be a lot of manpower invested at one time.

The current size of the workshop may not be enough.

Hearing this, Lu Qi thought for a second and said, "There's no rush, come with me into the palace later."

He also realized that the small wallet on his body might not be enough to spend it like this.

But it's not a big problem, because someone will pay for Lu Qi.

When Mei Li and Ke Sen heard this, they also approached cheekily and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Your Highness, I don't know about the trip to the palace, can I take my younger brother along?"

"Your Highness, can I go with you?"

Glancing at the two of them, Lu Qi didn't refuse: "Yes."

These two siblings have been working hard recently, so it's not a bad idea to take them out to see the world.

Everyone's situation is considered to be a meeting, and now that the meeting is over, they are ready to go about their business.

At this time, after tidying up, everyone left the workshop together.

at the door.

"Goodbye, everyone."

Kashina waved goodbye to everyone. Before getting into the carriage, she seemed to think of something, looked back at Lu Qi and said, "Your Highness, if you have time, you can come to my house for a while. My sister and mother both said they want to see you, or wait One day, I will take my sister to visit you there."

Hearing this, Lu Qi nodded, saying that everything is fine.

Kashina's mother is Mrs. Lestara, Barrett's wife, and she can be regarded as a conservative and respectable woman in Demacia.

If he wanted to see him, it might be because he learned about Lu Qi from Kashina.

However, what made Lu Qi a little puzzled was why Kashina's sister, that is, Sona wanted to see him?

He hadn't seen Sona since the last palace banquet, and even had very little conversation with Sona just that one time.

But despite his doubts, Lu Qi didn't think too much about it.

What I thought was that someday I would have time, so I would go to the Bouvier family for a sit down.

Soon, Kashina got into the carriage and left, heading straight for the Illuminator Church.

Lacus and Fiona were going to the commercial street on the other side.

So they split into two for a while, and Lu Qi took Navis and the three of them straight to the palace.

The carriage drove all the way, and after about a while, it stopped at the entrance of the palace.

"Your Highness."

When the guards at the gate saw Lu Qi, they saluted.

Lu Qi nodded, and led the three of them into the palace without hindrance.

He first went to see the third emperor, and after saying hello, he resigned and left.

His purpose of entering the palace this time was not aimed at his old father, but someone else.

After a while, several people stopped at the door of the marshal's office.

Looking at the door in front of them, Navis, Mei Li and Ke Sen felt a little trembling in their hearts.

Lu Qi knocked on the door naturally, and shouted, "Is Auntie there?"

"Enter!"

Immediately, Tiana's angry voice came from inside, as if the good mood of the whole day had come to an end.

Lu Qi pushed open the door and walked in.

Sitting behind the table, Tiana raised her eyes to tell Lu Qi not to call her aunt, but when she saw three people following behind her, she asked instead, "What's the matter?"

"It wasn't my aunt who said last time that I'll come to see you when the printing press is ready."

Lu Qi smiled.

Seeing the kid's aunt shouting more and more smoothly, Tiana sighed in her heart, she was too lazy to bother, and said: "Let me see."

As for the printing press, it was discovered when the microphone pipe went to the workshop last time.

At first it was Lux who said they were doing something.

But Tiana, who only regarded it as a child's mischief at the time, didn't take it seriously, and didn't take it seriously until she saw the microphone with her own eyes.

Immediately after they arrived at the workshop, they discovered that the microphone was just made by Lu Qi by the way.

This is outrageous. After careful questioning, Tiana found out that he actually wanted to build a machine that could print quickly.

So at that time, she left a message to come to the palace to find her after the printing machine was made.

Lu Qi handed over the samples of the newspapers he had packed up in the future, about forty in number: "These were all printed before coming here, and it only took one minute."

Tiana took it, and could indeed smell the scent of ink on it, she took a few serious glances, carefully looking at each one.

His expression became more and more serious.

"Forty sheets in one minute?"

"Yes, Navis said, the speed of the improved version may be even faster."

While Lu Qi responded, he made room to reveal Navis who was hiding behind him.

Navis was startled, nodded her head hurriedly, and said tremblingly, "For example, if my expectation is followed, the improved version can print 1 sheets in one minute."

If it takes 10 minutes, it is [-] sheets, and [-] sheets in one hour.

This is just one machine, ten machines produce [-] sheets an hour.

This made Tiana's eyes twinkle, and with her shrewdness, she naturally saw why Lu Qi came.

She looked at Lu Qi: "Do you want to borrow someone?"

Lu Qi nodded upon hearing this.

Tiana said: "I can directly borrow people from your scientific research institute, but there must be conditions. This printing machine includes an improved version, and the official must also have it."

Lu Qi was speechless when he heard the words: "It's as if I don't borrow someone, aunt, you won't come to ask for it."

Tiana froze for a moment, then laughed and said, "I almost forgot that you are one of my own."

Isn't the official position centered on the royal family and expand outwards?

And Tiana is the unified representative of these officials. Even though she is the Marshal of Demacia, she thinks that Tiana just cares about the war and is done.

In fact, she has to take care of many things outside of the military.

And Lu Qi, as the son of the third generation, no one is more official than him.
At this moment, Lu Qi asked again: "Is it easier to talk now?"

Tiana nodded and said, "I can lend you 20 people for half a month."

"Only twenty? Auntie, I'm not begging for food."

Lu Qi shook his head and stretched out a hand: "Fifty, one month."

Tiana also shook her head: "25, still half a month, the scientific research institute is full of talents, much better than ordinary craftsmen outside, 25 is already a lot."

"Even if they are all geniuses, that's the efficiency of 25 people. I'm here to borrow people, not brains. 45 people, one month."

Lu Qi's attitude is also very firm.

Tiana frowned, exuding a strong sense of oppression all over her body, and said lightly: "Thirty, half a month, let alone no more."

Feeling such momentum, the three Navises began to tremble at this moment.

"Don't scare people." Lu Qi insisted without fear, "Forty, one month!"

Mei Li and Ke Sen looked at Lu Qi's back with admiration in their eyes.

As expected of His Royal Highness, I am afraid that he is the only one who dares to bargain with the marshal like this.

Seeing that she couldn't be intimidated, Tiana put away her momentum and said with a light smile, "Thirty is my last concession."

Lu Qi said speechlessly: "Are you so stingy with your own people?"

"Brothers have to settle accounts clearly." Tiana shrugged and said, "Everyone lends to you, so do you still want the scientific research institute?"

The old hag muttered to herself, Lu Qi reached out and groped in her arms, then took out the concept map of the bicycle inside, and patted it on the table: "Then what about adding this?"

Tiana showed interest in her eyes, picked up the concept map and looked at it for a few times, her expression gradually changed.

A few minutes later, she raised her head and looked at Lu Qi seriously: "Can you make this too?"

Lu Qi showed a smile: "Basically, we just need to start work."

Looking at the self-confidence on this kid's face now, Tiana couldn't doubt it.

Believe it almost immediately.

Because, there are a bunch of little secrets in this kid who can't be dug out. Before that, a microphone and a printing machine have been made.

This bike is probably one of them.

After thinking for a while, Tiana was just about to bargain.

Lu Qi took the concept drawing back with a smile, and proposed a condition that could not be refused: "Seventy, one month."

Tiana immediately laughed and scolded: "I'll just give you the research institute!"

Lu Qi thought for a while: "It's not impossible, I even found the dean of the research institute."

As he said that, he also glanced at Navis.

Tiana also looked over, and Navis suddenly trembled in fear.

Tiana smiled and said: "This little girl is still too young, wait a few years, let's talk about 50 people, one month, no more."

As for Navis' ability, she recognized it.

She really didn't expect that the Menke family, which has been declining over the years, now has such a nice little girl.

Putting it next to Lu Qi, I am afraid that within a few years, he will have the qualifications to become the dean of the scientific research institute.

Where is the research institute?
That's where the craftsmen and inventors of the entire Demacia stay, and basically all the people who can get in are talented people, so Lucius spends all his time bargaining here.

Borrowing one person from that place is equivalent to finding two from outside.

The most important thing is that the borrowers don't have to pay, the royal family will pay them wages.

"Okay, fifty people, one month."

Lu Qi thought for a while and agreed with this condition.

It's not bad to be able to prostitute [-] talents for nothing for a month. What he wants to think about now is how to squeeze out the talents of these scientific research institutes in this month.

Seeing that the kid was already thinking about it, Tiana threw a silver medal to Lu Qi: "Go, take this to the scientific research institute to pick someone."

Lu Qi took the silver medal, the effect of this thing is the same as the token, the token is equal to the order.

"Thank you, aunt."

Lu Qi hehe smiled.

Seeing him turn and leave, Tiana also showed a helpless smile.

At this time, Mei Li and Ke Sen, who did not dare to breathe during the whole process, left Tiana's office, and then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really too nervous, and after they were relieved, they immediately looked at Navis.

There was also a faint urge to hug his thigh in his eyes.

This girl was hand-picked by the marshal, and she will be the dean of the scientific research institute in the future, which is too awesome.

"Navis, did you hear that? Work hard, and you will be the dean of the Academy of Sciences in the future."

Walking in front, Lu Qi said something with a smile while throwing the silver medal in his hand.

Hearing his words, Navis lowered her head and said softly, "I don't want to be the dean of the research institute."

Mei Li and Ke Sen were stunned when they heard this.

Look, are you speaking human words?

The position that the Menke family and inventors across the country have dreamed of, how can you give it to you and you don't want to be it?

Lu Qi also said strangely: "Why don't you want to? Once you reach that position, you will be honored and respected wherever you go."

Navis whispered, "I just want to stay by His Highness's side."

This is not a confession, but her simple long-cherished wish.

She set a very simple goal for her life.

That is to spare no effort and use what I have learned all my life to help His Royal Highness.

This made Lu Qi a little surprised. He caught the falling silver medal and didn't throw it up again. Instead, he handed it in front of Navis, and said with a smile, "That's inappropriate."

Navis took the silver medal in front of her and nodded slightly.

At this time, Meili and Corson suddenly realized.

small!

Their format is small!

What dean is not the dean.

Is it important to have the thighs of His Royal Highness?

The two shook their heads and sighed, they didn't expect that they lost to Navis in this respect.

However, at this time they had changed their minds.

I don't want to hug His Royal Highness's thigh, as long as I can hug Navis' thigh.
