Chapter 71 The mighty master
"I just heard that Eunice was out, except for the problem with Eucommia?" He followed Hozia to his office and asked.
Huozia asked Jia to sit down and said, "Yes, the production of Eucommia ulmoide is still too small, but we have reduced the production of bicycles and increased the production of clocks, so that the demand for Eucommia ulmoide is reduced. Since the bicycles that use Eucommia ulmoide as wheels, even many carriages have started to use Eucommia ulmoide tires, which is a waste."
Perhaps according to Huozia's idea, it is better to leave all the Eucommia ulmoides for yourself to use.
In fact, Eucommia ulmoides can also be used to find other things to replace them. Originally, Eucommia ulmoides are a substitute for rubber. If you can find a rubber tree, the output of rubber can be greatly increased and the cost can be reduced. However, Jiayi did not intend to spend energy on this.
Jiayi didn't care much about these commercial matters. After all, she was not familiar with them. If it was really difficult, Eunice and the others would have told him a long time ago. Since they didn't say it, they should be able to solve it themselves, or Jiayi couldn't solve it either.
"In fact, the most troublesome thing is not Eucommia ulmoides, but steel."
"Steel? What's wrong with steel?"
Jiayi remembers that iron ore should be quite rich. Although steel products are not cheap for ordinary people, the nobles even have all-steel armor, which shows that the steel production should be quite large and even the forging skills are very superb.
Huozia said: "Our Chamber of Commerce used to be a main business of enchanted jewelry such as jewelry, and the demand for steel is not high, so our Chamber of Commerce does not have iron ore, and all iron ingots are purchased. Now we make bicycles and clocks, which require a large amount of iron. The Chamber of Commerce in the Imperial Capital is a little jealous and began to raise prices collectively for us, and even the supply has been reduced a lot. President Eunice is going to solve this problem."
"Damn it, this is robbing by fire. So are we going to buy an iron ore ourselves?"
"No, the nobles will not allow it. We can only buy iron ingots now. The president will mainly go out to determine the share of iron ingots with the cooperative chamber of commerce. With the Orlando mage here, they dare not do too much."
Through Hoziayi's statement, Jiayi also realized that the iron ore at this time was considered a strategic resource, and weapons and armor were inseparable from this, so all the minerals were firmly in the hands of the lord. Most of these merchants selling iron ingots were lords behind them. Even if the Valocca Chamber of Commerce had Orlando's support, they would not be eager to get an iron ore, and they still needed to detour.
In addition to iron ingots, making clocks also requires a lot of copper and tin, and some require gold, silver and jewelry for decoration. Fortunately, in the past, the Vallóka Chamber of Commerce started out in jewelry, and these have fixed channels. Moreover, its own Chamber of Commerce is also supported by the Master Academy, so the other Chamber of Commerce dare not go too far. At most, it is just to take some measures and gain more benefits.
Jiayi was not familiar with Huozia, and there was nothing to talk about with a big man. Then he chatted a few more words and asked Huozia to express his admiration for him. Jiayi went to the accommodation he prepared for him and went to rest.
The residence prepared for Jiayi was in a yard behind the chamber of commerce, and it also had a kitchen with a back door to enter and exit. Originally, Eunice was going to arrange Jiayi at her home, but Jiayi felt that she was not used to it, so she wrote back to her, arranged it in the chamber of commerce, and formed a simple laboratory.
......
After settling down Xiaoqing, Jia spread on the bed. Although he had been on the boat and always walked, he felt a little tired.
"Jiayi, are you here?"
Not long after Jia lies here, he heard Selena's voice. He didn't expect that he would come so soon. I don't know if it was notified specifically or if he had already returned from the talks.
Before Jiayi could get up in bed, especially in the early summer, when he was most likely to get sleepy. He was still struggling in bed, and Selena pushed open the door and came in.
Jiayi fell on the bed dejectedly. Since she couldn't get up, she couldn't get up.
"You are back so soon, the matter is resolved? I heard from your vice president that there are a lot of raw materials."
After a long time no see, Jiayi felt that the mother and daughter's figures were getting better and better. Could it be that the development of women in other worlds would not stop? Jiayi felt that his vision was a little blocked, and leaned against the bed with his hands. It must be noted that he was just lying on the bed and did not take off his clothes.
Selena didn't see her, and sat directly on the bed, but Eunice brought a chair to sit.
"There is no big problem anymore. We have already agreed. The other party signed a new contract with us. Although we cannot provide the iron ingots in full, it is almost the same. We can't just hurry up and make it more refined. Now the clocks are still new, and everyone is not skilled and needs masters of handicrafts to make them. Slowly, it's just right to train a group of qualified clock workers." Yunice said softly.
"These chambers of commerce are so easy to talk about?" Jiayi felt a little surprised. This was simply not in line with their interests. After such a big formation, you would let go as soon as you went there. There was no way back and forth. They wouldn't be trying to tease their own chambers of commerce.
Jiayi's eyes were dripping on the mother and daughter. Could that chamber of commerce boss have fallen in love with one of them, right?
Perhaps Jiayi's eyes were really presumptuous, Selena glared at her eyes: "What are you looking at!"
Jiayi withdrew his gaze. Now the little chicken has grown up and it is time to be eaten. It is said that the beauty can live a long life, but I don’t know if it is true.
"I'm just a little curious. I can't let you go after you're over, and they'll fall under your pomegranate skirt when the phoenix body shook, right?"
Although there is no legend of a turtle spirit in this world, combined with Kaichi's expression, Yunis understood Kaichi's meaning well.
"This actually has something to do with you." Yunice smiled as she said.
"Me?" Jiayi was puzzled. Could it be that before he reached the imperial capital, his legend had already spread. So what made him have such a great face? Is it because of invention or his "excellent" knowledge? But they wouldn't know about these. They wouldn't have read the rigorous reasoning and wonderful ideas in the papers they published that made them amazed.
Jiayi was narcissistic, but he wouldn't really think so.
"Was someone attacked when you came?"
"Yes, there are hundreds of people. If I hadn't been good at learning magic, I wonder if I could see you." Jiayi said, showing a complacent look.
This is the first and only group "war" he has participated in, or group fights. He can defeat the strong with the weak, not only because of his own urgent intelligence, but also his strength and his cautiousness or timidity.
Eunice said: "Do you know that after you notified your teacher, Mage Im notified Mage Orlando, and Mage Orlando issued a mission in the academy. A small team of mages led by a white robe mage, plowed hard between the Ryder Mud Flat and the Dragon Throat Stream several times, and the Ryder Mud Flat was also burned out by fire."
"Wow!" Jiayi didn't expect that his teacher would stand up for him so well. Thinking of the huge reed marsh in the Ryder Mud Flat, it was a bit pretentious and thought that such a big battle was to stand up for him, and he felt a little secretly happy. In the future, he would not be able to avoid evil.
Eunice looked surprised and continued, "You are also a good life. I didn't expect that Master Orlando would value you so much. After Master Orlando was passed on to the imperial capital, I mentioned a few words to those chambers of commerce that you are our partner. If you give them some benefits, they will not dare to continue to get entangled."
Jiayi intuitively felt the power of the mage for the first time. His teacher Im was just "powerful" in the remote countryside, and his master was "doing whatever he wanted" in the imperial capital. The so-called tacit understanding and unspoken rules are only established when the strong are willing to abide by it.
However, that mage team could actually reach Longtow Storm in such a short time. In addition, the time required for message transmission, even if the team has not returned yet, their speed must be twice that of themselves. If they have already returned, it will be more than three times more.
