Ji Chan watched Ding Chuan bring people to bring a bunch of strange utensils, some like bowls, some like lamps, some like pipes, etc., which are basically made of glass.
"Are these ornaments?" he had seen glass ornaments in the court.
"Hehe, I'm not fit to live that kind of luxurious life right now. Ding Kui picked up a bottle, took the fire fold handed by Ding Chuan and lit it.
"What a lamp, well, it smells of wine. Ji Chan leaned over and sniffed, "What is in it? Like clear water, the fire lit has no oil smoke." ”
Ding Kui put the lamp on the table, then unscrewed a large bottle, poured out a small half bottle of transparent liquid, connected it with a copper basin, lit a small wooden stick, threw it into the copper basin, and boom, a flame rose from the copper basin.
Ji Chan's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Okay!
As a fire magician, how could you not be excited to see such a flammable liquid!
"This is my latest development, because it smells of alcohol, so it's called alcohol, it's a very flammable and volatile liquid that has a variety of uses and can be used in any household. "Ding Kui spares no effort to sell alcohol.
He hadn't introduced alcohol to Helian Yu yet, because he didn't want to put all his eggs in the same basket, and if the Siren Emperor turned against him, his financial resources would be reduced by more than half.
"Okay, good, good, is alcohol? It can definitely become an item chased by fire magicians, I want as many as you want!" Ji Chan immediately mobilized his mental power to sense alcohol and flames.
Few magicians use their spiritual power to observe wine, high-purity alcohol has just appeared in this world, except for Ding Kui, no one has seen it, and Ji Chan, who is famous for his teacher, is no exception.
Observing alcohol gave him a new understanding of the elemental world.
"I have a lot, you can't use it up, this is a ...... for people's livelihood" Ding Kui explained the use of alcohol in detail, focusing on disinfection and sterilization.
The disinfection methods of the Shenyuan world are very backward and advanced, basically the performance of the water magician, and the folk medicine craftsmen also use herbal medicine, the effect is not very obvious, and the upper class society uses magicians to disinfect and heal injuries.
"So effective?" Ji Chan didn't know much about medicine.
"Hehe, ask your sister-in-law to make it clear, she must be able to see it. Ding Kui smiled slightly, able to understand Ji Chan's thoughts.
There is no concept of microorganisms and bacteria in this world, and it is difficult to explain some of the wonderful uses of alcohol.
"You mean that ordinary people can also use alcohol, and it can be sold to all the families of the Gu Yuan Empire?" Ji Chan said before contacting Ding Kui.
That's what it means, to put it simply, if 100 million families buy a kilogram of alcohol, that's 1 million gold coins, and if you buy it 10 times a year, it's 10 million gold coins. How many firms have a trading volume of 10 million gold coins a year?"
Ding Kui's rhetoric is very tempting, tens of millions of gold coins are quite a lot, which is enough to make Ji Chan, the demon prince of Nanping, excited.
Alcohol is a consumable item, and it is a long-term business to buy it when it is used up, and there is also a key point that it is not available elsewhere, and there are no competitors at the moment.
Ji Chan shook his hand, and there were two less large glass bottles filled with alcohol on the ground, and said: "This business can't be done for the Lu Chamber of Commerce, I will arrange a general manager to come to you to buy it, just enough to pull a batch of war horses over, and then load them with alcohol and transport them back, at least four or five times a year." ”
He excitedly calculated and found that there was a very considerable benefit in it.
"Hahaha, my eldest brother's business acumen is not bad. Ding Kui was relieved and knocked out a huge foreign trade order.
"You can sell to other countries, but you must not sell to the Tongbei Empire! Well, Lu Guo can't sell too much, the quantity must be stuck. Ji Chan began to plan his own business blueprint.
"You are my eldest brother, you have the final say!" Ding Kui agreed very happily.
The production of alcohol is also limited, and he also has to take care of the domestic market, and only a small amount can be supplied to foreign countries.
"If the virtuous brother is dedicated to business, it is enough to reach a Lu country, and the Ding Chamber of Commerce will definitely be greater than the Lu Chamber of Commerce in the future. Ji Chan was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.
"Let's go, I'll show you around. Ding Kui walked out of the hall and jumped into the air for the rest of his life, giving birth to a fighting dragon under his feet.
Ji Chan didn't make any moves, his body floated up and shot into the air like a big bird.
The two flew over the giant sheep city and overlooked the new city together.
Ding Kui beckoned to Hua Juan in the garden below, motioning for her to fly up as well.
"Sister-in-law, go quickly, I'll prepare a dinner party for you. Shaodian Luan let go of the hand holding Huajuan.
Although she was very envious of flying in the air, she couldn't fly due to the limitations of her strength, so she could only watch the master master show off in the sky. Hua Juan apologized to her, and then flew into the sky to meet Ding Kui.
"Is it okay to leave your siblings like this?" Hua Juan said as she waved her hand, and a cloud of mist covered the three of them.
If a magician flies without alarming ordinary people, he will not be alarmed, Hua Juan looks like he has received an orthodox magic education and knows how to restrain his whereabouts.
"It's okay, this can stimulate her desire to cultivate, and if she wants to fly, she will quickly become the dominant knight. ”
Hmph, isn't it amazing? When I get to the top of the league, I'll fly to you every day.
Sure enough, what Shaodian Luan at the bottom thought was similar to what Ding Kui expected.
Ding Kui is much more relaxed in receiving flying guests, and he can see the whole city from the sky above the lord's mansion. Some of the classified places are far away from the city, such as the shipyard, which cannot be seen.
Wharf area, market area, warehouse area, industrial area, etc., the more important blocks of Juyang City are clearly divided and clear in the sky.
The alcohol factory is located on the outskirts of the county and is still under construction, and Ji Chan did not find what he wanted to see in the industrial area.
"The mass production of alcohol is naturally not visible now after a few months. Ding Kui didn't plan to let the guests visit the alcohol refining circle.
"What's there?" Ji Chan pointed to a row of smoking factories in the distance.
"Cement plant. ”
"Cement?" Hua Juan was interested in the word with water.
"Well, something like magic clay that makes strong buildings. Ding Kui tried to use words that the magician could understand.
Hua Juan continued to ask, "Is it as strong as the Magic Tower?"
"Of course not, but there is a special method of construction that can resist low-level magic attacks, and is stronger than ordinary walls. ”
"Really?" Ji Chan didn't believe it.
Fire mages worship offense and despise defense.
"Let's take a look!" Ding Kui took the lead and flew to the cement factory.
There is a vacant lot outside the cement factory, and a low wall is built in the middle of the clearing, about one person high and one meter thick, which is a reinforced concrete wall, which Ding Kui specially arranged for craftsmen to build.
He brought Ji Chan and Hua Juan here, pointed to the low wall and said, "Bomb it with low-level magic." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Chan raised his hand and it was a fireball, which was twice as big as the ordinary fireball technique.
Ping-pong, the low wall stands still.
The three of them came forward to look, and only found a shallow pit the size of a fist in the wall, about three or four copper plates deep.
"Ho! Is this a whole rock?" Ji Chan's eyes straightened.
Forbidden magician's fireball technique, if the robed magician shoots a fireball, it is estimated that there will not even be a pit.
Of course, Ji Chan didn't use all his strength, spending a little more energy and magic power can increase the temperature and speed of the fireball, and the destructive power will increase exponentially.
"I'll try. Hua Juan beckoned Ji Chan and Ding Kui to step back.
She took out her magic wand and cast a spell, shooting an ice arrow larger than the knight's spear, which made Ding Kui's eyelids jump.
Damn, this is the rhythm of tearing down the wall!
Poof, the ice arrow cracked when it hit the low wall, and the broken ice did not splash away, but instead seemed to be absorbed, all of it touched the surface of the low wall, and as a result, the low wall was wrapped in huge ice and froze inside.
Hua Juan glanced at Ji Chan, Ji Chan understood, and then shot out a fireball, right in the center of the ice cube.
Bang, bang.
Ice cubes were shattered and scattered to the ground.
Nima, the two heavens of ice and fire! Who can stand it when it hits people?
Ding Kui was frightened by the couple's joint attack.
Extremely cold to blazing, two diametrically opposed extreme attacks superimposed, the destructive power is not as simple as one plus one, you have to add a zero to the back!
The eyes of the three people focused on the low wall together, only to see cracks crawling all over the wall, under the joint attack of the water and fire prohibition law, the reinforced concrete could not stand it, and the whole wall was cracked into countless pieces, but there were steel bars pulling, and the low wall did not fall.
"Wow! I can't do that with all my might. Ding Kui ran forward, grabbed some cement blocks, and checked the steel bars inside.
There is the protection of concrete, the steel bar is not broken, and some places are deformed, which does not affect the main structure.
Ji Chan and Hua Juan looked at each other with shocked eyes, they teamed up to attack a low wall, but they didn't knock it down, such a solid building is probably only comparable to the magic tower.
Smack, Ji Chan slapped the low wall hard, shaking down some cement blocks, "I really can't push it down, the general city wall should have collapsed a long time ago." He validated his idea.
"It's only a meter thick. Hua Juan didn't try it, her strength was not enough.
"Hahaha!" Ding Kui suddenly laughed.
"What's going on? Ji Chan was frightened by the laughter, and Hua Juan was also patting her chest gently, the laughter was loud!
"The thickness of the outer wall of the Lord's Mansion is at least five meters, and I don't think the general forbidden spell can be broken. Ding Kui explained the reason for the laughter.
"Wow, five meters! Our attack can't cover that large fortress. Hua Juan took a rare and indecent breath of air.
"Brother Xian!" Ji Chan grabbed Ding Kui, "What kind of cement is this, I want it too!"
His face turned red, and when he saw the low wall in front of him, he thought of his prince's mansion.
The Gu Yuan Empire had a large area of grassland, although there were also mountains, but the area of mountains only accounted for a small part of the country's land area, which means that there were no mountain stones in many places, and large city wall stones were very expensive in those places.
If you think about the cost of shipping a boulder, you can understand how much manpower it takes to transport a boulder to 1,000 kilometers?
The materials used for this low wall are only fine sand, gravel, cement, and steel bar, the first two of which are ubiquitous in the Gu Yuan Empire, and the latter two are at least better than the boulders.
