295. Rune Board Workshop
Just when it was still snowing heavily in the north, the imperial capital already had the breath of early spring.
The night breeze was still cool, and the air was filled with the scent of grass and earth.
Several heavy snowfalls in the winter in the imperial capital have caused the residents of the imperial capital to experience an unprecedented harsh winter, but the southeast trade winds from the endless sea have blown to the Majaro Mountains.
In almost half a month, the ice and snow all over the city have melted, and the earth is recovering with vitality.
Arya and I rode in a magic caravan to the Runeboard Workshop in the Seventh Block.
I thought it was so late that there would be no one else in the workshop except the Night's Watch, but when the magic caravan drove into the street outside the workshop, the rune board workshop could be seen brightly lit in the distance.
Several large magic caravans lined up at the entrance of the workshop, and the coachmen gathered under the street lamps in front of the workshop, wearing large sheepskin coats with shearling and pipes, chatting together.
Standing at the door of the workshop, Murray instructed the workers to carry copper plates into the workshop, and the large magic caravans were emblazoned with the North Duisburg emblem on their bodies.
Betty pushed open the glass window of the carriage and looked out for a moment before turning to Arya and I and said, "It's the carriage from North Duisburg that transports the thin copper plates." β
Mrs. Arya sat down next to me and said to me: "Murray paid almost all the income from the copper hot pot to North Duisburg as purchase money, and the copper plates purchased back filled almost all the workshops in the workshop, if you don't come back, this guy estimates that he won't even be able to pay the workers this month." β
I didn't expect Murray to implement my arrangements before leaving so thoroughly, so I smiled: "Murray, this guy is really bold enough, so this winter, the income of copper hot pot is not bad?"
Arya's eyes fell on Murray, who was directing the workers to unload the thin copper plates outside the window, and said to me: "Not only is it good, if it weren't for limited marketing, it is estimated that all the copper hot pots in stock here in the rune board workshop will be sold out within half a month after you leave, and every day the owner of the magic shop blocks Murray on the side of the workshop, asking him to make another batch of copper hot pots." β
Although I knew that the market in the imperial capital could completely eat the copper hot pot I left in the imperial capital before returning to the north, I still waved my fist happily when I heard Arya personally confirm this.
I smiled excitedly and said, "It seems that the market advantage of the copper hot pot we produce is quite large!"
The magic caravan stopped at the door of the rune board workshop, and Murray, who was standing at the door of the workshop, saw me and Arya get out of the carriage and immediately trotted in front of us, and Murray said to me with a twinkle in his eyes, "Boss, you're finally back." β
Murray handed over the matter to the small boss in the workshop, and invited me and Alia, Katerina, and Betty into the Rune Board Workshop.
At this time, I finally saw how many thin copper plates Murray had bought recently, and the entire courtyard of the Rune Plate Workshop was stacked with thin copper plates, probably because I was worried that the copper plates would rust, and these thin copper plates were covered with canvas, which almost occupied all the space in the yard.
Murray kept rubbing his hands and said to me: "What is stored in the workshop is the giant crossbow arrows forged in North Duisburg, and now the plane war is in full swing, these giant crossbow arrows are in high demand no matter where they are, and I also grabbed the quota with the managers of North Duisburg, but I didn't think that their production capacity is so large, boss, if you don't come back, I'm really a little overwhelmed." β
Murray led us into the workshop, the workshop was full of large wooden boxes one meter square, almost every wooden box was neatly arranged with delicate giant crossbow arrows, I don't need to count I know that such wooden boxes can hold about a hundred giant crossbow arrows, and Earl Donald's order for a thousand giant crossbow arrows is only ten boxes at most.
And now in the huge rune workshop, these wooden boxes are stacked on top of each other, and the preliminary estimate is that there are at least a few hundred boxes.
It seems that Arya doesn't come to the Rune Board Workshop very often, and she was shocked to see the huge inventory here.
She asked Murray, "How can there be so many crossbow arrows, and where did you get the money?"
Murray looked very afraid of Arya, and he was careful with everything he said: "I bought these crossbow arrows with the money I got back after selling the copper hot pot, and I just paid some deposit to North Duisburg for the thin copper plates outside." β
Arya pinched her waist with one hand and asked Murray with some curiosity: "Count Robert is bold enough to dare to give you so many thin copper plates on credit, tell me, how did you convince the manager Goss?"
Murray led us up to the passage on the second floor of the workshop, from which we looked down at the workshop, everything in the workshop was in full view, it seemed that I had estimated that there were only a few hundred wooden boxes, and I was a little too conservative in my thinking.
From here, there were at least a thousand of the large wooden boxes containing the arrows of the crossbow.
Murray held on to the railing, looked at the large wooden box in the workshop, and said with a satisfied face: "In North Duisburg, only the forging area for making giant crossbow arrows is very busy in winter, and the production tasks of other sections are not too full. β
So I went to Mr. Goss and ordered him 8,000 sheets of copper, and I told him that I could only pay a small deposit for them, and that they would produce them for us while they had time to complete the other orders, so that North Duisburg could share some of the production costs and avoid excessive waste of coke and cosolvents by burning the furnaces, and Mr. Goss agreed to let me meet Count Robert, the owner of North Duisburg. β
Arya said to him, "That's how you persuaded Count Robert?"
Murray shook his head and said, "At first he was a little hesitant, but I told him that my boss was the Wizard of Giga, and Count Robert had no more doubts, and signed an order for eight thousand thin copper plates, and I grabbed more quotas for crossbow arrows from North Duisburg." β
β......β
What else can I say?
In fact, the Magic Seal Workshop in Xinliu Valley was in urgent need of these thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrows to resume production, I just didn't expect Murray to be so decisive, not only bought all the money for the copper hot pot to buy the giant crossbow arrows, but also ordered nearly a thousand magic crystal thin copper plates with limited funds.
Murray reported to me, "Boss, there are a total of 1,031 boxes of crossbow arrows stored in this factory, and a total of more than 4,000 gold coins have been spent. There were also 3,000 thin copper plates in the courtyard outside, which would probably cost so many gold coins. β
Thinking that when I returned to the imperial capital from Tanton City, the female dwarf craftsman on the side of the Demon Seal Workshop was still urging me to solve the problem of sheet materials as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that Murray had hoarded so much.
So I said to Murray, "Well done, I'll ask Caterina to bring you the gold coins, I'll take some of these thin copper plates and crossbow arrows away tonight, I'll arrange for people to load the goods here, you go back early and rest, don't worry about this side." β
Murray readily agreed, "Okay, now I can finally sleep peacefully, with so many copper plates and crossbow arrows stored here in the workshop, I won't be able to sleep soundly a night." β
Only then did he say to me with some hesitation: "That...... Boss!"
I turned to him and asked, "Hmm." What else?"
Murray said to me, "Can you get some 'fire-gathering' rune boards out of the house? In the last two weeks, our door has been broken down by those magic merchants. β
I stared into his eyes and asked him, "Winter is coming to an end, how much market do you think there is for copper hot pot?"
Murray seemed to be prepared, just paused slightly, organized the language and then said to me: "I think this part of the market still has a lot of potential, in the past month or so, those magic shops in the imperial capital are always out of stock, every time there is a copper hot pot made of magic pattern 'fire gathering magic' rune plates in the magic shop, it is sold out almost instantly, those imperial capital people always want to buy more when they can't buy it, and this disease is also contagious." β
Finally, Murray said, "I believe that even if winter is almost over, there will be many people who are willing to buy it." β
"How can our copper hot pot sell so well?" Arya asked Murray with some surprise.
"I have roughly summarized some reasons, maybe there is something wrong, and I ask you and the boss to help me correct it. Murray smiled.
Then he opened the parchment book he had with him and said to Arya and me: "Compared to those fire-gathering rune plates handmade by inscriptionists, the fire pattern flame core of the magic rune board is more stable, more safe, and the durability is no worse than that of handmade works, and the most important thing is energy saving, the same size of magic crystal fragments, the magic pattern 'fire gathering' rune board can burn for about five days more than the manual 'fire gathering' rune board." β
"Although the quality of some handmade 'fire-gathering' rune plates is better than that of the Magic Pattern 'Fire-Gathering Technique' rune plates, the biggest defect of the handmade 'Fire-gathering' rune plates is that the quality is uneven. β
I didn't expect Murray to analyze the market for the Pyrotechnic Rune Board so thoroughly.
"Boss, I'm afraid to say a few more words. Murray said to me.
Seeing that Arya and I were staring at him, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Murray's forehead, and he didn't care about wiping it off, and said to me straight to the point: "I think if the conditions allow, I want to gradually open up the sale of magic rune plates, not just the copper hot pot we own to use these magic rune plates, so that the market can be opened up at once......"
Although Murray was right, in the past month, the number of magic rune plates printed in the Xinliu Valley Magic Seal Workshop was also very limited, barely enough to supply the production needs of the clan copper hot pot, but if you want to take out more, you must add a magic printing machine.
I shook my head and said to Murray: "The Magic Pattern 'Fire Gathering Technique' rune board is only available for copper hot pot for the time being, and I also have a batch of 'Micro Tornado' rune plates in my hand, which will also be handed over to you for the time being, if you do well, I am considering whether to sell the Demon Pattern 'Fire Gathering Technique' rune board separately." β
Murray's eyes lit up when he told me that there were other kinds of magic rune boards to be handed over to him for sale.
Not long after, the large magic caravan in North Duisburg was unloaded.
Murray left the rune board workshop with the workers who had left behind to unload the goods in the workshop, and I caught up with Murray at the door of the workshop, and gave him a handful of silver coins to find a better restaurant for a good meal.
By the time Caterina searched the workshop from beginning to end, she made sure there was no one else in the workshop.
Only then did I open the portal to the Valley of the Willows, and asked Karantso to call a group of orc warriors to carry the thin copper plates and the arrows of the crossbow into the valley of the Willows.
Because of the limited space in the cave in Xinliu Valley, even if all the engraved magic rune plates were lifted out, and all the copper ingots made of piles of waste copper plates were removed, only a small part of the thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrows were brought in.
It was already late after all of this, and Arya had to arrange for the night watchman on the workshop side to stay at the workshop for a little longer.
I went straight back to my home in the third block.
......
As soon as the magic caravan drove to the gate of the villa in the third block, the black-patterned wrought iron gate slowly opened from the inside, and the doorman in light leather armor poked his head out of the inside, saw me step out of the car, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The guards in the gatehouse were brought by Ying Li from the Prince's Chamber, and in addition to the doorman, there were also housekeepers and cooks in the courtyard, and although I bought the villa, I did not take the time to take care of the stone pillar arch that I walked through.
By the dim light of the magic street lamps on the side of the road, I saw that there was already a faint green mark on the lawn in the yard, but when I walked in, I couldn't see anything, and the young shoots of the alfalfa grass were hidden under the dead grass, and I could only see a trace of new green from a distance.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Ying Li's magic caravan was still parked in the courtyard, and it was still here at such a late hour.
Walking to the front of the villa, Ying Li, Helena and Becky just came out of the house, and when they saw me walking up the steps, Ying Li said to me, "Why did you come back at this point?"
I said to Ying Li, "There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with at the Rune Board Workshop, so I'll be back late." β
Dressed in a pure white knowledge and magic robe, Ying Li walked down the steps, stood in front of me and said to me, "I just asked the Dao Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute to find you. β
I hurriedly asked Ying Li, "What happened?"
She's still waiting for me here at this time, and it looks like something must be happening.
Ying Li's face was slightly red, and he whispered to me: "It's nothing, there is a letter from you over there in El City!"
I didn't expect that the letter from El City would arrive just after I arrived in the Imperial Capital, and it seems that when Rryant and Fanny wrote this letter, it should have been not long before I left El City.
I hurriedly took the letterhead, and at this time Ying Li was also standing beside me, his eyes glancing over to me.
It dawned on me that Ying Li insisted on waiting for me to come back so late, and handed the letterhead into my hands with his own hands, in fact, just to be able to take a look at the contents, and for her, maybe this letter was written in the impression that Ryant and Fanny had of her.
