I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 124 The Wrath of the Republic of Floracana 3406
Mrs. Alice tried her best to suppress her excitement, stepped forward, and carefully inspected these cast iron ingots.

Parvega's blacksmith guild has its own methods and tricks for judging the quality of iron ingots. Ivita saw them surrounding the iron ingots, beating the iron ingots with a small copper hammer, and listening carefully to the sound of the iron ingots.

Every time they knocked, the expressions on the faces of these five people became more excited.

Mrs. Alice even got into the carriage again to prevent accidents, picked out a cast iron ingot from the bottom of the basket, and took it out to continue their test.

In the end, the five people looked at each other, and there was a strange silence.

Mrs. Alice took the initiative to speak. "Ivita, your source of goods is unexpectedly excellent, and you will be praised wherever you get it. It is our luck that you can come to us to cooperate, and I apologize for the people we detained you before."

"These are cast irons indeed, and a hundred catties of ordinary pig iron is worth three shillings, and a hundred catties of wrought iron are worth five shillings."

"Iron that has been forged and quenched once is worth 6 shillings, twice that is worth 8 shillings, and that that has been three times worth 10 shillings. However, these prices for the latter are priceless. The source of high-quality iron has always been It's relatively rare."

Evita waved her hand. "The detainment of my people and goods was done by the lord. It is none of your business."

Ivita took out the one-handed sword made of cast iron from the carriage, walked to Mr. Holman's side, and took away the wrought iron sword he was carrying.

Although Mr. Holman didn't understand, but due to Iveta's identity, he didn't say anything.

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Ivita raised two swords and struck them together at the same time.

With the hum of collision in the air, the cast iron sword in Ivita's hand was intact, while the wrought iron sword in his right hand had a huge hole broken.

Ivita handed the cast iron sword to Mr. Holman. "I'm sorry to break your saber, this sword is my compensation to you."

Mr. Holman bent down and held the sword in both hands, "It's a trivial matter, the baron doesn't need to care about it."

He smiled.

He was a businessman, and businessmen valued profit the most. A cast iron sword was much more expensive than a wrought iron sword.

Not to mention the endless stream of cast iron swords.

Ivita turned around and said to everyone:
"I think, now everyone should have a more intuitive understanding of weapons made of cast iron."

"That's what makes it so good."

"Just imagine, if our guild produces such swords on a large scale for a long time, how much benefit will it bring to Parvega?"

Lady Alice's eyes lit up. "It's going to be a symbol of Parvega's quality."

"It can drive the sales volume of [Parvega] on weapons made of other materials, and even the sales of other industries."

The rest of the business was also discussed.

"War is coming, when Ambrose will have a bigger gap for high-quality weapons, I seem to see the rise of Parvega, our city will become richer, even surpassing the cities ranked before us, Become the fifth largest city, the fourth largest city!"

"If Parvega can really continue to produce such weapons on the battlefield, then we will also expand rapidly in other industries. Maybe we can become the largest city in the Ambrose Plains other than Ambrose City .You must not forget, the destruction of the urban economy by the war."

"The size of other cities' economies would shrink because of the war, but we can get rich in the war."

These pedestrians are already thinking about how to surpass other cities after the intensity of the war increases.

As the size of the city expands, their business can expand.

The upper limit of each city's guild is determined by the upper limit of the city.

Mrs. Alice thought about it, and she stretched out her left hand to Ivita, who had been silent and let them discuss, and said, "Since that's the case, let's set the price like this, plus your transportation costs and labor costs." Cost included, the price of cast iron should be ten times that of wrought iron."

"The prerequisite is that all the cast iron must be sold to us."

The owners' eyes flickered, the price is so high?
But also very reasonable.

This contains monopoly money.

After hearing this, Ivita thought for a while, that is, the price of a hundred catties of cast iron is 2 gold pounds plus 10 shillings.

The price is probably in line with my expectations.

But in terms of monopoly, he is not very acceptable.

"I can only guarantee that I will only sell it to you under the premise of the existing production capacity." Ivita said.

Before Alice spoke, he said: "If you can eat all the production in our territory, of course I can always sell it to you."

"But if I can't eat it, I will find other cities where I can eat it."

"But I will try to avoid Parvega's competitors and nearby cities and territories," Ivita said.

"That's it."

Lady Alice laughed. "sure."

"Then we can buy this cart of cast iron."

The cast iron of the carriage brought by Ivita is about 1000 to [-] jins, and the approximate weight measured by Mrs. Alice with the weight is probably the same.

So she paid Evita 30 gold pounds.

Watching the glittering gold coins enter a small pocket, the impact sound of each gold coin is so clear and sweet.

Ivita happily took the money bag, "Mrs. Alice, you told me before that you would give me a hundred gold pounds as a reward."

"Well, I promised you this kind of thing on the street before. In addition, because of the mayor's promise to you, you don't need to pay commodity transaction tax and transit tax. After you come to us to sell things, sell You can take back as much money as you want, without any taxes in between." Alice was full of smiles, and took out a money bag she had prepared and handed it to Evita. "I need to make an inventory. After you leave here, I will not be responsible."

She said to Ivita, slightly jokingly.

Evita shook her head. "No."

"Your reputation is worth more than a few gold coins."

He believed that Lady Alice would not do such a thing to himself.

How stupid a person must be to play tricks on this kind of thing.

For a big businessman like Mrs. Alice, the most important thing is not money, but reputation.

Reputation can be exchanged for money.

Mrs. Alice joked: "If the mayor knew what a big deal he gave up, he would regret it."

"Well, I will gradually increase the production of cast iron in the future." Evita said.

The existing blast furnace should be able to produce cast iron for twelve carriages a month, that is, earn 360 gold pounds.

In the original baronial land, only about [-] gold pounds were obtained each year.

In the future, the cast iron business in the territory is expected to bring about 4320 gold pounds per year.

This income has exceeded the income of many ordinary viscounts.

In the past, because the baronial land could only do the low-end business of mining iron ore, the bulk of its income had been squeezed out. Iron ore was worthless, even worse than the worst iron material—pig iron.

Because iron ore is essentially just a stone dug out, it needs to go through many processes before it can be turned into iron.

Ivita suddenly thought of something, and said to Alice: "I want to ask, do you have a mirror worth a hundred gold pounds here?"

Mr. Holman's eyes widened. "A mirror worth a hundred pounds? My lord, do you want the queen's vanity mirror?"

Not this one.

It's just that divination with a spiritual mirror requires such an expensive mirror.

Ivita said to Mrs. Alice: "I need a mirror that really meets this price, rather than a temporary mirror whose price is increased for me. Ma'am, do you have any relevant recommendations?"

Mrs. Alice frowned, thinking carefully. "As far as I know, it is impossible for Parvega to have such an expensive price."

"Even if someone really sells it at such an expensive price, it is mostly out of refusal to buy from others, or to make things difficult."

"It's not that the seller thinks that this mirror is really worth so much money."

"One hundred gold pounds, if you are lucky, it is already possible to buy a small village."

"It's really luxurious."

Mrs. Alice shook her head and smiled wryly. "Parvega has no such mirror."

Ivita was also troubled.

Otherwise, he would learn another divination technique.

However, the old witch knows all three of them, and the most normal divination is the spirit mirror divination.

If she wants to learn other divination techniques, the old witch will definitely persuade her to go to the city of Ambrose to find her lover.

The point is that her lover also took the blame for killing the Grand Viscount.

Who dares to find her.

But make a trick and create a fake transaction, such as finding a servant and asking him to sell the mirror in his hand to himself for a hundred gold pounds.

It's too risky.

Ivita still remembered that the Hearthstone Witch told herself that her apprentice turned into a Chimera because of the risk of spells.

Things that are already very risky, if you take such a trick again, you really don't know what will happen.

There is no need to take such a risk.

While Ivita was thinking about what to do, Alice suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up. "Ivita, do you know [Madalena City]?"

"Madalena city?" Ivita shook her head.

Mrs. Alice laughed and said, "The city of Madalina is the third largest city in Ambrose."

"The main economic pillar of that city is the textile industry, and Madalina's fabrics are first-class in terms of feel and color."

"The reason I'm telling you this is because something big has happened in the city of Madalina recently."

"The daughter of Madalina's weavers' guild is 14 years old, and the head of the weavers' guild wants to marry her off."

Lady Alice explained. "This is not a rare thing. But because his daughter has been cast a vicious spell by the witch - if she is still unmarried at the age of 14, there will be a beast on her 15th birthday, Take her away."

"So the Textile Industry Guild has distributed invitation letters to young and handsome teenagers who want to find a husband. There will be a banquet in the middle of every month, and it is said that many people have passed. The reason why most people go there is not because of the textile industry. For the sake of the president of the Industrial and Commercial Guild, he actually wants to watch the fun. He wants to meet the girl who is about to become Mrs. Beast, so many dignitaries will go there."

"You might find an opportunity there."

"But you'd better send your men down."

"Because it's too dangerous outside recently."

Mrs. Alice said: "Didn't your lord say before that the viscount is planning all the cities? In the past few days, news has spread that several cities in Ambrose were really instigated by the viscount, and the noble faction won."

"His behavior is said to have angered the Republic of Floracana."

"The consuls of the Republic of Volcana are even prepared to provide greater help to the major cities of Ambrose."

Ivita said: "The wind and rain are precarious."

These external forces are gradually expanding the conflict in Ambrose.
