After two days of field visits to the North Slope mines and two consecutive days of negotiations, Roland entered into a new trade contract with Hogg and the String Moon Bay Caravan.

After seeing the flying orbiting mine system, the beads of the eyes were almost falling out.He even put forward the application to invest money in the border town to build a factory, specializing in the construction of mining tracks and supporting equipment, and the profits were half of each, but Roland refused - investment is a lot of time to do, the town is now missing people, not money.

After all, Hogg is just a mining merchant, although he owns several mines and takes care of an open-pit silver mine for Count Kambala in Silver City, only the miners can be taken out, which is much worse than the strength of a island in the Bay of Strings.In the end, he signed a contract for half a year after the order of the steam engine, the same is ten, and a complete mine transportation system (including track and mining vehicles), half of the demon's month before the delivery, the rest of the next year to complete.

The & NB string moon bay caravans were in a much larger tone, and Gamore signed a 10-year contract directly.When the caravan came next, he would bring a team of three hundred men, mainly made up of blacksmiths and carpenters.The gratuity of these people is paid by String Moon Bay, and Roland only needs to provide accommodation and food.The steam engines they had produced in ten years were sold to the Horne, and ten years later they voluntarily decided to stay—a matter which Roland had repeatedly negotiated.

There is no doubt that this group of people will certainly have a caravan confidant, and even after adding this, the other party will inevitably choose as far as possible loyal to the people who are loyal to the string moon bay, and then decide whether half of them will be left.But for Roland, skilled workers are always not enough, leaving 10% is earned.He was never worried about technological advantage, but about no one coming to turn his technology into a real product.

& NB In addition to the steam engine, the second large order came from the ship modification.

Together with the 300 craftsmen, two inland sailing boats were brought, and the string moon bay caravans wanted the town of Perith to convert it into a steam-powered bright steamship, with a single renovation cost of up to eighteen hundred golden dragons, and two adding up directly to Marguery's steam engine order.In contrast, despite the three orders received, the total amount of less than 300 golden dragons - this is the case of Roland's price increase ten times that of convenience stores.This makes him feel that the profit gap between industrial goods and civilian supplies, if not a large number of production, civilian supplies or simply meet the needs of small town residents.

The prince was somewhat surprised by the fact that both iron breastplates and iron farming gears were left out in the cold.Later, at dinner, Marguery answered his question, "Although your breastplate is indeed cheaper, but the output is too small, if sold, each piece to the cost of transportation and taxes, perhaps only five or six golden dragons profit."Also, your armor is made by hydro-forging hammers, right?Either way, the price of this armour is very fixed, and you are expensive on good quality iron, not artificial.”She paused, "It is even more unnecessary to buy it for herself, and the seaman, whether it is a bodyguard or a sailor, rarely wears heavy iron, which will make them fall into the water quickly and sink to the bottom."For the most part, armor is shackled, not protective, for them.”

The same is true of agricultural tools, if you can not get a lot of cheap iron, it is not too cheap even if it is cheap, compared to the local similar goods, it is difficult to form what advantages.Unlike those colorful cups, the price is completely fixed, and the favorite aristocracy may earn several times."

& mp;nb “That is.”Roland thought about it and found that this was indeed the case... For the price of a stable commodity such as armor and agricultural tools, it was difficult to put down the price too much in the case of material costs - he was cheap enough to forge on the steam engine more efficiently than the hammer, but this difference was not enough to arouse the interest of the big businessman.

& mp;nb and whiteboard armor with Soroya's anti-tap paint is also part of the First Army dress, and a large number of sales are impossible before the iron production is on the way.

& mp;nb...

& NB's exciting theatrical debut day is coming soon.

In the afternoon, the towners surrounded the central square with water – a situation where Roland demolished the old buildings and doubled the area of the square.

In order to play a propaganda role, Roland began to issue a notice to inform the people a week in advance, and ordered the Ministry of Agriculture to send people to the outer residential areas of the town to mobilize serfs to watch the drama.

As Lord, Roland has the best viewing position.In the direction of the performance stage, Karl set up a temporary wooden platform, a total of three rows of wooden platforms, can accommodate about 100 people, Roland is sitting in the middle of the third floor.On one side was the League of Witches, next to him was Anna, on the other side was the Merchants Group, and the most recent was Margery.

The first and second floors are mostly City Hall officials and apprentices.

In order to ensure security, the wooden platforms are surrounded by soldiers of the First Army who are watching the drama while isolating the location of the prince from the civilian population.

At this time, about 4 p.m., the heat of the sun had faded, and Wendy's cool breeze from time to time had made everyone on the stage enjoy VIP treatment.

& NB in the crowd of applause, the actors on the stage one by one.

& NB to tell the truth, Roland's heart for the premiere will eventually achieve no bottom of what the end of the results, after the script to Irene, he did not care about this matter, whether it is hiring, rehearsal is by her and Phillin busy.In retrospect, how much experience can a newcomer to a theater show up only once?And the friends she found, it is estimated that all of them are not given the opportunity to perform in the fortress theater, so they go to the town of the dragon set actors.

In other words, this is a new play that is entirely directed, choreographed and implemented by the new team.

& NB Good at Roland didn't mind failing, and the play wasn't about ticket revenue or to promote how good the script was.It was an intellectual transformation, and it was performed more than once.This is not a good thing, the next time there is progress.

"I know why you have so much confidence in the show," Marguerite suddenly marveled, "you brought in Miss May!"

& mp;nb Roland shued, “Who?”

& bnb "May, don't tell me you don't know about it!"“My God, I’ve seen her show before I came here,” said Marguerite, “whether it’s the character’s grasp or the creation of feelings, she’s the top.”"The Prince's Search for Love" earned the tears of many people, and even Kakin Fez praised her!"

& NB "Who is Kakin Fez?"Roland flipped through the memory and found that his mind was completely impressed with the name.

“Your Highness, are you really a royal?”Margrie blinked, “I ventured to ask, who is the person you know most in the king?”Except in the court.”

& mp;nb "The Magician" Joko," Roland blurted out, immediately found it not good.

"Oh," said the businesswoman, looking at him meaningfully, "the most famous playboy, I heard that with one hand alone can make a woman forget him... I understand."

& mp;nb "Only by hand?"Anna turned to “Why?”

& mp; nb "No... nothing."Roland said, "Let's watch the show seriously."(Unfinished.
