Release that Witch

Roland sat at his desk and looked at the chief knight who came to report on the situation of the First Army with great interest.

Compared to the meticulous appearance of a few months ago, Carter’s iceberg has a lot of other emotions on his face. The feeling of calmness has faded a lot, and there is more expectation and urgency.

Probably related to the star of the West, he thought.

Roland also heard a little about Carter’s recent move to Mey. After all, as one of the top leaders of the First Army, his representative in the military, his every move has people pay attention, not to mention the beautiful women around Mei.

When they appeared side by side on the streets of the town for the first time, the guards had already spread the news to their ears.

For this kind of thing, Roland doesn't care. Carter's age is about two or three years older than himself. It is a strange thing to say that he hasn't been married yet. If you can find the other half in the West, it's not bad, as long as it doesn't affect your work. .

According to the report of the chief knight, the first army has about two hundred runners in the list, and almost ten can be added every day. In fact, if the raw materials are enough, Anna’s production capacity can be doubled, but she To be responsible for the pig iron steelmaking and steam engines at the same time, the speed is slowed down.

However, this speed is acceptable. After all, the first army has only 600 people, and it can be completely replaced in one and a half months. Until the new population expansion tide arrives, the size of the military cannot be further expanded.

Another point is the formation of the Second Army.

For the convenience of training and the need for confidentiality, the civilians recruited from the Long Song Fortress were approved by the Roland and incorporated into the Second Army. Disciplinary training is currently being accepted, that is, the military training. In the evening, it is an ideological education class, and strives to let these people develop themselves as guardians of the West. The safety of their loved ones requires their belief in protection.

"At present, the training of the Second Army personnel is progressing well. It is expected that after another week, they will be able to transfer to the shooting training. By that time, the eliminated hair will be enough for one hand," Carter concluded.

This is also the advantage. It takes at least one year to train a cold weapon warrior. It takes about five or six years to train a knight, and the soldiers can only fight in a month. The longer a battle is, the more dominant the squad is. After all, pulling the trigger is more labor-saving than fighting the sword.

"Live-fire exercise must pay attention to manage the branch, how much hair down how much will be recovered. Gunpowder, too, on the spot distribution during practice to arrange the first military veterans responsible for overseeing."

"Yes," he nodded.

"Very well," Roland waved his hand, "So, you get busy now."

"Oh, Your Highness..." Carter hesitated. "You said last time that the perfume blended into the soap is made from sugar cane. Is this true?"

"Yeah," the prince leaned back in his chair. "What?"

"Is that sugar cane expensive?"

"No... just an ordinary crop."

"I heard people say that a bottle of perfume in the size of the king's thumb can reach five golden dragons," Carter scratched his head. "If this is the case, can sugar cane perfume bring rich income to the town?"

"Five Golden Dragons?" Roland groaned, but he never thought about it. Recalling that in the palace, the four princes never cared about the price of a daily necessities. The perfume, which is less contacted, is more so that only women can favor these things that make them full of fragrance.

The original motivation for his perfume was simply to get the soap. Otherwise, there is tap water, and the bathroom without soap always feels something less, so that the bubble is full of body is the romance of the bathroom.

If a small bottle of perfume can also buy a few golden dragons, it is indeed a good business. Unlike coated mirrors, sugar cane and flowers as raw materials are much cheaper than crystal glass.

Thinking of this, Roland laughed. "This idea is not bad, I will consider it."

"His Royal Highness, then... Can I bring a cane out of the castle?" The chief knight asked with expectation.

"No problem," he heard the tone, he guessed what the other party wants to do. After all, the Westland is not like the clear water port. The plants in the fjord are quite rare here. It is a good choice to be a gift for ladies. "Only On the wall of the backyard, pick it yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Carter retire.

Then Roland called Barov and now it is not appropriate to call him the assistant to the minister. As the number one person in the town hall, he is regarded as the chief executive of Bianbu Town.

After Barov’s seat, Roland said roughly about the perfume. “How do you think this business can make a big golden dragon?”

He did not answer immediately, but asked with wide eyes. "His Royal Highness, do you really know that the perfume is made of that sweet crop?"

"Isn't the soap also used for you? The reason is that there is a fragrance, it is mixed with perfume," Roland said. "It's raw materials are really worthless. I just don't know, Wang Du's perfume. Is it really as expensive as Carter said?"

"More than that, His Royal Highness!" Barov said excitedly. "Perfume is the top secret product of the Wangdu Alchemy Association. It is about a thousand bottles a year, and only a small part of it will be in Wangdu. In the city, the price can be increased by 20% to 30%. If you go to the fjord and other kingdoms, the price can almost double. In order to prevent the businessman from earning the difference, the association not only firmly controls the price of perfume in other places, but even the merchants must personally Designation. If you can produce perfume, even if you only give Chishui City and Panglongling, you can get a good return."

"It turns out that." No loss is the person who served as the assistant to the finance minister for 20 years. Roland thought that Barov is indeed very good at the price of goods and trade. With this information, he also formed a preliminary plan in his heart.

There are many ways to perfume. The easiest way is to smash the petals or herbs with a unique fragrance into the alcohol, let the alcohol dissolve the aromatic oil in the plant, and finally filter out the residue and dilute with water to use.

Alcohol comes from sugar cane juice fermentation; aromatic oil raw materials can be roses, but also more common rosemary and spirit herbs. However, in order to achieve mass production, it is the best choice for the leaves to cultivate a batch of magical plants that can directly secrete aromatic oil.

In addition to perfumes, the industry can also be white sugar and white wine, which is also a large demand for consumables. Although the profit is not as good as perfume, if the low price is given to the townspeople and their recipes are enriched, it is also a great progress for the people's livelihood.

The reason why Roland has not developed light industry is that it is difficult to earn high profits for small-scale production of daily necessities under the shortage of manpower. It is the most cost-effective way to invest a limited population in heavy industry production.

Since the production of perfume is profitable, maybe he can take this opportunity to make up for this missing link. (To be continued.)
