Chapter 120: The First Day of the Study Tour (2)

As clerics from Lolandal, the young people of the study group were willing to put down their bodies to interact with these workers.

From the introduction of the black dragon and what they had seen and heard, they all seemed to see a vision of the future, and the smell of books that represented order and civilization came to their noses, and they felt shocked again.

"The Imperials are too arrogant!" said Cervantes, glancing at Bishop Pelonandi beside him.

After learning that Cervantes was not wasting paper, but that he was making an attempt, Bishop Holt apologized to the Black Dragon and left the place, as he was a local bishop and had a lot to deal with for him.

"You always think that your own things are the best, and it is good to have self-confidence, but to be overconfident is to be arrogant!" Cervantes did not like to hide it, so he was still straightforward in front of Bishop Pelonandi, and he could say whatever he wanted.

Bishop Pelonandi did not refute the words of the Duke of the Black Dragon, because what he said was true, and Bishop Pelonandi also felt that he needed to introspect, and as an imperial man, he was indeed a little arrogant.

He had been in Windtown for two days, and in those two days he had already felt too much shock, and he was ashamed of his short-sightedness.

There are many things here that have already spread in the Mendez Continent, such as this new 'paper', as well as the cement pavement they saw before, these things are not a novelty in some advanced and developed places in the Mendes Continent, but in his eyes, these are things that have never been seen before.

When he heard that these technologies had already been sold, Bishop Pelonandi was a little stunned.

Are Sloh and Mendes traded frequently?

Undoubtedly, of course very often!

As the most powerful country in human society, the Ogordon Empire is of course very frequent in foreign trade and exchanges.

But these things have long been circulated, but he still hasn't been able to see any trace of these things in the empire, Lolandal, as the third largest city in the world and the second largest city in the empire, if these things really appear in the empire, then Lolandal will definitely have them.

However, nothing!

Whether it's this kind of new 'paper' or 'cement' with low cost and high output!

None of these things appeared in the Empire, at least Bishop Pelonandi did not get news of these things, for whatever reason, either because of the arrogance of the people of the Empire, so they did not believe in these things, or ...... It's just that there are people who don't want these things to flow into the empire.

Bishop Pelonandi is more inclined to the second possibility, the black dragon is right, blind pride and a series of actions to maintain this pride are really dishonorable.

What made the bishop feel most ashamed was that he could not refute it.

The paper in front of me is made by the latest technology, but it has already appeared in this world.

"Wait for you to take a break, and I'll take you to see other factories in the afternoon. ”

Ignoring Bishop Pelonandi's complicated thoughts, Cervantes said: "You are here to visit and study, and there is no hurry, I will take you on a tour of the factory area first, and then I will take you to visit other places." After that, you will get a temporary pass for the factory area, and you will see the specific precautions at the main entrance of the factory area, and you don't need to talk about the rest, right?"

Putting aside the cranky thoughts in his head for a moment, Bishop Pelonandi took a deep breath, "Thank you and the maid for your generosity. ”

"No thanks!"

Cervantes suddenly grinned, "Serra said, this time we can make a lot of money!"

Bishop Pelonandi smiled dumbly, he suddenly remembered the other identity of the duke in front of him - this is a black dragon!

Dragons all have an inexplicable greed for wealth, and this greed that has been written into the bloodline naturally affects this black dragon, and Bishop Pelonandi is only now realizing this.

The starting point for this black dragon to take them here to visit is probably just like he just said, just to make money.

However, Bishop Pelonandi is not that kind of person, although his intentions may not be very good, but now he is like an angel who has brought the gospel to mankind.

"Do you know what these can bring us, Lord Duke?" Bishop Pelonandi pointed to the paper that had been processed and was ready to be shipped to the printing house.

"Future!"

To the bishop's surprise, the black dragon was able to guess what he was thinking.

Seeing the stunned expression on Bishop Pelonandi's face, Cervantes snorted lightly: "Are you also the kind of person who 'judges people by their appearance'? I'm not stupid! If you have those impressions after reading legends or knightly novels, I think it's better for you to abandon those wrong ideas as soon as possible, not every dragon is as good at talking as I am, like those fools who can be killed by a sword of no more than one and a half meters in those stories, do you think that really exists? Even the stupidest white dragon is also the most powerful beast, we are not stupid!"

Sensing the black dragon's dissatisfaction, Bishop Pelonandi smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Lord Duke, I didn't mean to. ”

"I know you didn't mean to!"

Cervantes bared his teeth and said to the bishop, "I know! If you mean to, you'll be a mess of sauce by now!"

This was the end of the conversation between the black dragon and the bishop, for it was already noon, and it was time for the workers to eat and rest, and, as Cervantes had said, they were not in a hurry.

It is not easy to learn a complete production process, and no matter how smart these young people are, they cannot learn so quickly.

During the lunch break, food is provided in the factory area, where workers can choose to have lunch or choose to go home.

The public carriage runs four times a day, going to work in the morning and leaving work at noon, going to work in the afternoon and leaving work in the evening, from morning to night, and the workers have to work a total of eight hours, which is already a preferential treatment in this world and in this era.

The work may be a bit harder, but the pay is also higher, and there is a day off on Sunday for them to spend time with their families or take a good rest, which is something they can't imagine anywhere else.

In this regard, the study group from Lolandal was once again shocked.

Cervantes saw them looking at the slices of meat in the bowl motionless, so he said: "Don't worry, these meats are all raised domestic animals, most of them are pork, and there is no monster meat." In the Grim Wind Realm, no one can eat the meat of monsters hunted by others unless it is invited by the master's family, and we don't have the ability to raise monsters here for the time being, so you can rest assured. ”

The clergy had their mouths closed, and this was not what they were trying to say, although they did have concerns about this, but someone had explained it to them when they were in the temple before.

What surprised them was the lunch of these workers.

A meat and a vegetarian meal and rice, the portion is very large, such a lunch requires workers to spend money to buy, but the price is only one copper, what is the difference between this and a loss-making business?

What can you buy with a copper?

Three pieces of hard black bread, if eaten in water, can last two days with one meal a day, but only the poorest of the poor will do this, and generally speaking, a commoner will only eat three black loaves of bread a day, because they have two meals a day, so they will also appear thinner.

But here, how can they not be shocked that a copper can eat such a food with one meat, one vegetable and enough rice?

When they voiced their doubts, not only Cervantes, but also the other workers laughed.

The young people in the group were confused, they didn't know why the workers were laughing, but when they heard the laughter of the workers, they felt that they might have guessed wrong.

A middle-aged man patted a young paladin on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Young man, you are not a person from our sad wind leader, so I don't know, the maid master will never do a loss-making business, and now these things are set by the maid master, so she must not lose money - so much, it's worth a copper!"

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the priests fell into deep thought.

So much, it's worth a copper?

At this time, they have already made up their minds a decision.

With so much food, I'm afraid it's really worth only one copper......

However, this is the price of the sad wind collar!
