Lord of Industrialization

When he was about to walk to the military area, a new thing attracted Ozkan.

Ozkan: "What are these?"

Olive: "A washing machine."

There are several manufacturers of washing machines now. Some produce large-scale washing machines driven by steam engines, some are dedicated to the research of household washing machines, and some go to the farm tools area and the food area. The former's machines are used to wash Elizabeth potatoes, radishes, and beets. , the latter is used to make cream.

A water tower was erected next to the exhibition area, and water pipes and drainage pipes were connected. Many washing machines were demonstrated there.

These magic washing machines basically use whirlpool to drive the water to rotate. The difference lies in whether it is fully manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic, and whether it has the dehydration function of water dispelling. Washing machines with necromancy magic sterilization must use magic defense. shell.

Traditional cloth is not strong due to hand-weaving. The previous washing method simply involves beating clothes in water until they are clean, which causes great damage to the cloth, so people rarely wash clothes.

The washing machine here seems to be much "gentle" and the damage to the clothes is minimized.

Ozcan looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "It's a good thing, but it's not suitable for the grassland."

Some people were crying and some were laughing here, and many bosses almost cried. Nowadays, except for the Wesson State, ordinary people in no place have running water at home. They have to go to the well to fetch water and pour it back.

Ozcan thought he could buy two and take them home, but there was no market on the grassland.

There is a household washing machine that seems suitable. It is the cheapest washing machine and is almost entirely made of wood. Only the chain, bearings, etc. are made of iron. It is powered by human legs like riding a bicycle.

At first, Frederick was very speechless about this kind of washing machine, because this thing was a modified ball mill, except that the large wooden barrel had a waterproof door on the side, and several wooden boards were nailed inside to drive the water flow and clothes. The drum washing machine was It’s done.

But this thing is cheap and has a vast rural market. Judging from the boss's expression, he must have signed a lot of orders.

But its size is too large, making it inconvenient for herdsmen to move around. People who don’t mind moving it have a lot of people to wash their clothes, so they can’t use it.

In the end, Ozkan bought a batch of washboards and bought a lot of washing powder when he saw it was sold here.

It's just that the washboard went a little awry on the grassland and turned into a torture instrument.

As for washing powder, it has suddenly become a miracle medicine for cleaning wounds and treating infections.

Ozkan finally arrived at the military area and went straight to the place where firearms were sold. Unfortunately, he found that only folding shotguns and revolvers were sold here, and there were no standard weapons, let alone the fire falling from the sky.

It's just that these weapons have never been cheap. He couldn't buy them by the ship, so he only bought some.

At the place where swords are sold, Ozcan asked the staff: "Is there a sword like the one Duke Wesson used when he single-handedly saved the prince in the Kingdom of Kush?"

After Olive translated, the staff shook their heads and replied: "The commander was using an officer's standard sword. It is not for sale."

"However, there are imitations for sale. The appearance and dimensions are the same, and the quality is definitely not that good, but they are still high-quality products."

Ozcan sighed and said: "Now all the men on the grassland want a knife like that."

The staff brought the imitation and said: "Although it is an imitation, it is made of good steel and is a good weapon. Many people in the south buy it."

Olive reached out curiously and touched it, then picked it up and weighed it, then turned to Ozkan and said, "It looks almost the same as the real thing, just a little lighter."

When Frederick was traveling in Wanjing City, she had touched a real dick and wiped it carefully.

After hearing this, Ozcan said: "Then I have to buy this, it costs three hundred pieces. Do you have a saber here?"

The staff brought over a few ordinary sabers. The steel was good, but the shape was different from those used on the grassland.

The cavalry here sometimes need to deal with targets with metal armor. The shape of the sword has enhanced the stabbing function and the blade is straight. There are not so many metal armors on the grassland, and they focus more on cutting, and the blades are curved.

This is a large factory that provides equipment to Wesson's army. They are all imitation weapons. The saber Ozcan wants has to be bought from other factories.

Olive soon took him to the exhibition area of ​​a weapons factory run by a fellow villager. The boss used to be a blacksmith for the Ghazi Imperial Guards. After he was fished out of the water, he saw that the other officers were unwilling to go back and he refused to go back.

At that time, the military asked him to open a weapons factory out of the weapons needs of the imaginary enemy forces. More than half of the factory's shares belonged to the Wesson family.

His main focus here is the production of foreign weapons. After a little decoration, it was very popular among young men who had enough to eat and had nothing to do. A nobleman from the Kingdom of Gaul had just ordered a batch of goods.

When a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, he shoots him in the back.

"That's too much!" Ozkan glared at the fellow, "It's not like I don't know the market!"

The fellow looked around and whispered to him in a sneaky voice: "What's your name? What I gave you is made of good steel used by the military, the kind that won't rust. If you are discovered, I won't be able to do anything about it." You'll be hung on the city wall!"

"Really?" Ozkan's eyes widened. Why shouldn't rust-proof weapons be sold out?

The fellow vowed: "Let me tell you, the army ordered a batch of goods at the beginning of the year. The fool who wrote the order made a mistake in writing the number. I have five hundred extra sabers here."

"I finally settled the account, and now this batch of goods is my own, you understand."

Ozkan nodded, understanding.

Not long after he placed the order and left, the fellow said the same thing to the merchants of the Lisenberg Kingdom.

Ozkan knew it was two years later that he had been tricked, and now he was buying scale armor pieces in front of the Clover Armor Factory's stall.

Hoffman, who had just returned to the booth, was very depressed. This wealthy businessman wanted a lot of goods, but only armor pieces. It was said that weaving armor on the grassland was the job of the women in the family, which was a loss of profit.

Ozkan was helpless. He didn't have much money. He also needed to buy daggers and helmets. He also needed to buy some medicine to go back. He would save as much as he could.

The two of them didn't have time to have lunch until after two o'clock in the afternoon. In the dining area at the edge of the exhibition area, Olive ordered a bottle of happy water and three portions of fried chicken nuggets, and Ozkan imitated her and ordered his own portion.

Ozkan concentrated on calculating the goods and balances purchased today on paper, and listed the delivery times of various goods so that he could arrange the fleet he hired.

The quantity of goods he purchased exceeded his expectations, there were not enough ships, and factory production required time, so he divided all the goods into two parts. One part was delivered within a month, and the water surface was frozen in winter and transported away, and the other part was when the river thawed next year. After delivery.

His Majesty the Emperor established the Ghazi Empire Chamber of Commerce here, allowing some captives who did not want to return home to serve as a mouthpiece between the two places, and at the same time help domestic businessmen handle some commercial matters.

Ozcan made a list of the goods to be delivered next spring, and gave them to the Chamber of Commerce along with a sum of money, and they would help deliver and store them in the warehouse, and he could ship them away as soon as he arrived.

After he finished his work, he raised his head and found that Olive was drinking a bottle of orange drink. He couldn't help asking: "What are you drinking?"

Olive said proudly: "I won't tell you, but this is a drink only available in Wesson's army."

Ozkan asked confused: "How can you get something from the army?"

Olive's face turned slightly red, and she immediately looked impatient and said, "Oh, it was given by someone I know."

Ozcan saw that this was a matter between young people and just smiled.

Not far away, a soldier who was on duty and had just deserted was kicked by Metzger with a smile.

After lunch, Ozkan came to the raw material area, where he had his seat.

His son-in-law is here with a few of his men, and they are playing cards together.

"Why don't you work?" Ozcan's face was gloomy. "Now is the time to make money. No one comes to the door. You don't know how to go to the stall selling wool clothes and ask people if they want wool!"

His son-in-law immediately put down his cards, stood up and said happily: "Father-in-law, great news! 60% of our wool is considered to be second-grade, and 20% is first-grade, and the price sold is better than 10%." It’s a lot more than I expected at first!”

"And those herbal medicines were all bought by people from the pharmaceutical factory. They also left us a booklet, which shows that they purchased a large amount of herbal medicines!"

"It's just like sheepskin. It's about as expected."

This son-in-law of Ozkan was once a warrior on the grassland. He had saved his life a few years ago, but his right hand was injured and he could not hold a weapon, so Ozkan married one of his daughters to him and asked him to follow the caravan.

He took the contract and check handed over by his son-in-law. It was the same formatted contract as the one he had just signed elsewhere. It had both clauses that he had thought of and clauses that he had not expected. One copy contained the local German and Pulan scripts, Canadian There are three versions of Qiwen. If there is any objection to the provisions, the Pulan version shall prevail.

They all bought tax stamps and neatly affixed them to the top of the first page of the contract. This tax stamp was a special edition of the first World Expo, and later became a treasure that collectors seek.

Ozkan calculated the total amount and found it was 20% more than expected.

Ozkan took out a thick stack of contracts he signed today from his wallet and gave it to his son-in-law, and said: "You go to the bank now to transfer the money and repay the loan. Once the bank loan is settled, send the mortgaged goods over immediately. , and strive to get the balance back as soon as possible.”

The wool, sheepskin and herbs he brought were not sold for a while, so he used them as collateral for Wesson and Wesson Bank like other merchants to get a loan. The interest would not be charged until the repayment within the year, and the calculation would only start next year.

If you pay back the money to the bank as soon as possible, you can deliver the wool as soon as possible. After delivery, you will have more money to buy more goods.

Wesson Bank has set up a work station here, and there are many people who have the same idea as Ozcan. At this time, the queue is very long.

Towards dusk, when the expo was about to close, a large number of staff began to visit every stall to record their turnover today.

At dinner, Frederick got the summary data. The first day's turnover made him so excited that he kissed all the girls without wiping his mouth.
