Chapter 64 Dragon's Blood Bath
As ordinary daily necessities, salt and iron are also in large quantities. After eating a lot, the storage cost is also a cost.
If the three families are forced to the end, millions of gold coins can be taken out.
But merchants are seeking money, not seeking anger.
After discussing with the three companies, they decided to restore the price of salt and iron.
After the salt and iron prices recovered here, the affordable salt and iron shop opened by the Marquis' Mansion immediately closed Zhang. The Marquis' Mansion can also be used in the Marquis' Mansion. More importantly, the Marquis' Mansion is just to stabilize prices and not to make money.
Since the three chambers of commerce have surrendered, there is no need to grab the business to do it.
The three families prepared gifts afterwards, went to meet the Marquis and Housekeeper, and continued to talk about the saltpeter business.
The three companies hoarded some saltpeter, but this was to stabilize prices. Each lord who wanted to establish a dwarf musketeer force had to hoard some of the launching medicine. Saltpeter is considered military supplies, not without a market.
It can even be said that with the Holy Empire having its own saltpeter channel, the saltpeter business prospects are broad.
However, the Marquis was determined to reduce production recently. In the past, there was a quota of 100,000 pounds of saltpeter for sale in a month, but now there is only 20,000 pounds of saltpeter for sale in a month.
The three chambers of commerce knew that there were 200,000 pounds of saltpeter piles in the warehouse of the Marquis’ mansion.
Now the Marquis' Mansion really doesn't have time to mine saltpeter. The 20,000 pounds per month is the mining capacity of fifty infantry for several hours a day. If you are not satisfied, you can not buy it.
Even Link can digest the saltpeter in the Marquis’ mansion now. After all, there is already a dwarf musket force in the territory.
A batch of sulfur used to make the launching medicine has been purchased. In the future, you can purchase it through Alice, charcoal powder and egg whites locally.
After receiving the gift, he had to do business. The housekeeper still took the time to tell Link what the three chambers of commerce wanted to reconcile.
Link neither believed nor did he not believe in this matter. Instead, he prepared, listened to his words and observed his actions. That is, he just walked and saw.
In the territory, Lin Ke is now busy bathing the soldiers, yes, it is a bath.
But it is not an ordinary hot water bath or cold water bath, but a dragon's blood is added, and some magical materials are added, and a certain amount of hot water is added to the soldiers.
Taking a dragon blood bath to strengthen the body is a tradition in the Shenglong Empire. In the Shenglong Empire, families with conditions can bathe their children with dragon blood when they are young, so that when children grow up, they will have stronger strength and better physical fitness and will more easily awaken their blood skills.
It is a transformation of a kind of local method. In fact, even if the legendary wizard transplants various bloodlines to humans, it is also an inspiration from this local method.
The difference is that if a blood vessel is transplanted, the bone marrow needs to be replaced, which is to change the blood vessels from the inside out. In fact, the skin is also part of the body, and the skin can breathe and connect the blood vessels throughout the body. This way of bathing dragon blood is to change the blood vessels from the outside to the inside.
Link has killed several dragons, and the dragon blood is in his hands. Of course, he can exchange it for money. However, under the influence of His Highness Helena, he knew that there might be major events in the next few years, so Link decided to use this batch of dragon blood to strengthen the power of his territory.
So, after entering the warm dragon blood bath, a group of soldiers began to wail and scream.
Such a ritual method will naturally inevitably make people's skin feel burned to death by the power contained in the dragon's blood. But just take off a layer of skin, it's not a big problem. It's not that easy to transform.
As the power contained in the dragon's blood was gradually absorbed by a group of soldiers, it gradually stopped hurting.
When a group of soldiers felt it and walked out of the bath, these medicinal materials mainly composed of dragon blood were considered invalid.
The soldiers on standby around cleared it. Although the medicinal materials they took out could not be used, they could still take them out to feed the war horses, because the medicinal materials contained less power. After eating the war horses, they could absorb some power from the medicine residue.
War horses that often eat this dragon blood medicine residue have better endurance, stronger explosive power, and even less likely to get sick. Even the fur color will shine and are called dragon horses by knights.
In two months, more than 5,000 soldiers in the territory completed the Dragon Blood Bath. One of the sequelae after the Dragon Blood Bath was that the appetite increased greatly.
In Link's opinion, this is a good thing. Does the soldier's stomach determine the soldier's strength? This time, the dragon blood bath gave the soldier a chance to grow again.
In addition, Link spent half a day to go to Hongshan Fortress every day, and the city walls here were still being built, but the mines surrounded by the fortress are now in full swing.
In order to motivate everyone's morale to mine, Lin Ke made several decisions. First, the salary of soldiers stationed here doubled - in fact, this is nothing compared to the subsequent rewards.
Here, for every piece of ruby is dug out, everyone in the entire Red Earth City army will be rewarded. If it is an ornament-level ruby, each person will be rewarded with three silver coins. Each team that digs out the ruby is rewarded with three gold coins.
If you dig out a high-purity ruby, each person in the fortress will be rewarded with ten silver coins, and each team that digs out a ruby will be rewarded with ten gold coins. Moreover, this kind of reward will not be capped, the more you dig out, the higher the reward.
Similarly, each team member must supervise each other. Ruby is a gem and not another mineral after all, and a small piece is of great value. Every day, soldiers who go out of the mine must undergo oral examinations and take a group bath and change clothes.
Once someone has privately kept rubies, there is no such thing as going to military court, but there is a death penalty.
Except for the two soldiers who claimed to want to taste what ruby tasted, they were killed in public after being reported, the soldiers later became much more ruled. A small team had so many eyes staring at it, and it was really difficult to do something and not be known to others.
Although after expansion, only two hundred people went down the well every day, the army of Hongshan Fortress now goes down the well once every five days. Every time a piece of ruby is dug out, it is worth everyone's happiness, because those who take turns patrolling can also get three or ten silver coins.
After two months, although you can not dig rubies every day, you can find two or three rubies every day. Even if you don’t become the lucky one who digs rubies, you will have a good income in a month - this is still one month. If you increase this time to half a year, then there will be more.
Unfortunately, the soldiers here are rotated every six months. If they can be stationed all year round, wouldn’t they be a rich man after retirement?
The monsters between several newly built fortresses were gradually cleared out, and most of them became food for soldiers, and the bones and internal organs of the beasts that could not be eaten were sacrificed by Link and became enchanted weapons in the hands of soldiers.
