The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

Yitzhak just sighed slightly, and didn't want to continue talking about it.

As the so-called **** decides the head, Yitzhak, who was born as a veteran nobleman, has a habit of despising people's lives more or less.

This habit has almost been engraved into the bones of every nobleman. Even Altria would occasionally show such an expression. This is a tradition left over from the mainland for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Nobility is above all else.

If it were not for the rebellion of the Ten-Party Alliance, Aslan's deviant behavior, which is dominated by the people, would be crusted by the nobles of the entire kingdom.

It's just different now. Aslan has become a warlord force comparable to the Gorland rebels, and he is more difficult and powerful than the Gorland rebels.

The simplest point is to have money.

The Kyoto Chamber of Commerce still owes Aslan a loan of 70 million gold coins. Today, the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce has stabilized the financial position of the Kingdom of Cleveland. However, due to repeated wars and disasters, although they have repaid them in installments for two years, they later borrowed them again due to shortage of funds. Came back.

For example, this time the formula of five million gold coins, Yitzhak is naturally impossible to borrow, and must actually pay the bill with practical gold coins, but this time, it is completely possible for the entire Kyoto noble and royal family to jointly pay the bill.

Yitzhak understood very well that as long as they grasped the material channel of Yaqingsaisu, they could still make a lot of money, and they could also let the noble groups join the planting army of Changtong. What the Kingdom of Cleveland lacks most today is time.

"The steam engine has already appeared as an experimental machine, and it is also combined with a water pump, which greatly increases the mining speed of the mine." Yitzhak said after a turn of the conversation.

"Then what happened?" Aslan asked casually.

"The experimental base suffered an inexplicable attack, a great swordsman instructor and a dozen instructor-level assassins." Yitzhak said lightly.

"There is no magician?" Aslan was surprised.

"Yes, the two magisters were hiding in the city and wanted to destroy the entire experimental base, but they all died." When Yitzhak said this, the whole person showed absolute self-confidence.

"In that battle, we dispatched more than 30 strong mentors and three strong mentors."

Aslan nodded. It seems that this time the Maxim Empire has suffered a big loss. After the floods are over, it will definitely launch a war against the Kingdom of Cleveland.

"It's very dangerous next!" Aslan said lightly.

Yitzhak nodded, and took the blueprint of the steam engine developed by the Royal Academy of Magic to Aslan.

Aslan just glanced at it, and instantly understood that it was a steam forging machine for hammering.

"Forging machine! I didn't expect you to be so fast." Aslan said with a smile.

Yitzhak shook his head helplessly, and he guessed right. Aslan should have mastered the steam engine technology, but he was afraid of being retaliated by the Maxim Empire Assassins, so he didn't produce it for a long time, and secretly, he should have produced a lot. Steam engine, otherwise the productivity of Merlot is so high.

"Yes, please help you to produce ten steam forging machines and ten steam drilling machines." Yitzhak said directly without any further temptation.

Obviously, he was using the market for technology. After these two steam engines were bought, one or two of them would be disassembled and then copied.

Regarding whether the Royal Academy of Magic could imitate the steam engine produced in Merlot, Aslan did not doubt. He never doubted the manufacturing and research capabilities of the Royal Academy of Magic.

It is a pity that even if the Royal Academy of Magic is excellent, they still cannot mass-produce steam engines. When technology and culture are still firmly in the hands of the upper class, the scientific research strength of the entire kingdom will not be greatly improved, because these precision parts are basically manufactured. Not ordinary civilians can produce. As for the noble magicians to produce every day, the price of the steam engine produced must be terribly high.

This is Aslan’s biggest killer. The more complete the industrial system will allow him to produce machinery and equipment, including weapons and equipment, that are cheaper than those produced by the Kingdom of Cleveland, and the precision and modularity are also higher, allowing many spare parts to be available. Mutual common.

Needless to say, accuracy is the key to modularity. The higher the degree of modularity, the easier it is to replace parts and the maintenance is faster.

According to the news from Merlin's disciples, the steam engines currently produced in the Kingdom of Cleveland are completely assembled by a group of magicians. Many steam engines look exactly the same. Many of the internal parts are mismatched, and even the error of the parts of the same model exceeds a few centimeters.

Therefore, Aslan is not worried that there will be no market for the steam opportunity he produces.

"Okay! Or if we cooperate, I will be responsible for production, and you will be responsible for selling. Of course, all of this must be done in secret. I don't want to be targeted by the Maxim Empire." Aslan said with a smile, and offered another business.

Yitzhak also woke up instantly and nodded repeatedly.

The two again discussed the price of the product.

Kyoto will open a steam engine manufacturing plant, which will mainly produce various types of steam engines. Its real purpose is to conceal the eyes and ears. It mainly produces steam engines that can be produced by the Kingdom of Cleveland. Other steam engines are produced by Merlot and then secretly transported to Kyoto.

Of course, the delivery is left to Yitzhak. Aslan is responsible for the ex-factory price, and Yitzhak is responsible for the sales price. At that time, as for the ability of Yitzhak to be added to the original price, Aslan does not care. , He is only responsible for shipping, not sales.

Some people must worry that Aslan’s downstream sales network is controlled by Yitzhak, and will be controlled by Yitzhak in the future. In fact, Aslan doesn’t care at all.

There are two reasons for this. The first reason is that the steam engine is just an obsolete product. After all, Merlot has now started mass production of magic power engines. Both horsepower and torque are stronger than current steam engines, even if the Royal Academy of Magic develops fuel. The opportunity is already behind Merlot, and it is impossible to surpass Merlot. It is not bad to consider it as an additional business.

The second reason is that the steam engine is not completely eliminated. For example, a steam turbine engine is derived, which is Aslan's goal.

As for the control of downstream sales channels, that is simply a joke, because there is no place in the entire continent except Maxim Empire that can sell such cheap steam engines. Unless the Royal Academy of Magic does not want to make money, it is impossible to follow it alone.

Aslan, which has mastered technology and price advantages, may change agents at any time. As long as the price is lowered, the market will return to Aslan's hands. This is the key competitiveness of mastering core technology, because the cost of goods In control.
