Annie picked up the notepad she carried with her and began to report, "Master, the white granulated sugar that was studied by the people in the workshop has been made."

"Oh? The speed is very fast. Then go to the workshop to have a look later. If you pass the test, you will start mass production." HAD said in surprise.

"Master, is it going to be used to produce lollipops?" Annie asked with her eyes brightened.

She only eats the lollipops in the castle now, like the lollipops sold in the big market and the gold coin supermarket, she doesn't like to eat them, because they are not sweet enough and tasteless.

"Part of it will be used to produce lollipops and ice drinks." HAD nodded.

"Great." Enri became excited.

"Let's go, let's go to the workshop first." HAD got up and said.

"Okay." Mina and Annie responded, and followed behind HAD.

The group of three quickly got into the carriage, and under the escort of the wolf team, they headed towards the direction of the workshop.

"Young Master's carriage is the most comfortable." Annie leaned on the carriage and stretched.

Annie often has to ride a carriage, because she has to run around, process orders, and watch the workers deliver goods, etc., and those carriages in the city are all standard, and of course they are not as comfortable as the carriages dedicated to HAD, just for shock absorption The effect is not at the same level at all.

"After the rubber is made, these carriages in the city can be replaced, and they will be more stable with new wheels." HAD said with a smile on his lips.

Some people have talked about rubber now, and when the workshop and base are built there, some rubber will start to be transported back to Sheba City.

"Tap tap..."

After more than ten minutes, the carriage stopped at the workshop area.

"My lord, the workshop is here." Sink shouted respectfully from outside the carriage, and the ladder was placed on the carriage.

HAD, Mina and Annie got out of the carriage one after another and walked towards the workshop.

Now the research and development of white sugar is placed in the new workshop, which is in the newly built workshop deep in the workshop area.

In the future, many kinds of products will be produced here, so HAD simply built many more factories in this workshop area.

This is not only for the manufacture of new products, but also for those things that are currently being produced, such as canned food and wine. Now the orders have piled up, and the production scale needs to be expanded to keep up with the output. Cargo speed.

A few minutes later, HAD and the others came to the place where white sugar was made.

"My lord." The person in charge of making white sugar hurriedly greeted him. It was a big sister with a kind smile on her face.

"Take me to see the white sugar you produce." HAD said with a slight smile on his lips.

"Okay." The person in charge nodded, took HAD and others to the room in the factory building, took out a burlap bag, opened it and put it on the table beside it.

HAD stretched out his hand and grabbed some white sugar from the burlap bag. It was not so much white sugar, but rather a lump of sugar.

... ... ...

"It seems that the filtering step needs further optimization." HAD said to the elder sister.

"Already trying to improve it." The person in charge said respectfully, the white granulated sugar produced is indeed a little yellower than the white granulated sugar HAD took as a sample.

"Well, the taste is sweet enough." HAD broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth, very satisfied.

"I'll try." Annie asked curiously.

HAD broke off a piece and stuffed it into Annie's mouth, his fingers accidentally brushed across the red lips of Fox-Er Niang.

Annie blushed slightly, and said happily, "It's really sweet, it can be used to make lollipops."

"Give me some." Mina pursed her mouth slightly, and looked at HAD with a smile in her blue eyes.

"Okay, Mina will try too." HAD also broke a piece of candy with a smile, and stuffed it into Mina's mouth in the same way.

The sugar in Mina's mouth was melting, which made her feel very happy, "It's very sweet."

"It can be put into production. It doesn't matter if the color is darker. It can be replaced after the filtering process is optimized."

HAD said to the person in charge, "I will send someone to deliver the sugar cane and beet."

Now the sugar cane and sugar beets are still in the field, and they need to be harvested and transported here.

"Yes." The person in charge nodded.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"One more, ."

Chapter 833 Qingbijiao.

After inspecting the white sugar workshop, HAD took Mina and Annie to inspect other workshops.

First I went to the canning workshop, then I went to the brewery and the instant noodle workshop, and now I just finished inspecting the sackcloth workshop.

"Master, is the oil press you mentioned last time also in this workshop area?" Annie turned her head and asked as she flipped through her memory book.

Enri is extremely curious about oil, there are so many delicacies that can be eaten in the castle, and oil is inseparable from it.

In this world, the source of oil can only be obtained from wild boars, the quantity is very small, only nobles can afford oil, and the price of oil is also very expensive, several times more expensive than salt.

Aristocrats used oil to make some snacks, not for cooking. In this era, cooking has not been invented yet, and most people use cooking. .

The oil HAD mentioned is peanut oil, which is squeezed from peanuts and is currently the main oil used.

Of course, there is also a plant dried fruit oil, which is a product of this era, but the quantity is relatively small. HAD used "Nine Five Three" to make marriage fat...

And like Zuixiaolou and various gourmet restaurants, they now use peanut oil, but due to the quantity, they are not sold to the outside world for the time being.

When peanuts are grown as vegetables in greenhouses, a large number of seeds are left, and when they open up wasteland and cultivate land, they are planted together with potatoes.

"Since you're here, let's go and have a look." HAD said softly.

"Okay." Annie happily replied, and followed HAD to the depths of the workshop.

Before coming to the oil press workshop, there were eight soldiers on duty at the door, in order to prevent irrelevant people from breaking in. After all, HAD didn't intend to let other people know about oil.

In the future, this peanut oil will also be an indispensable item in the daily life of ordinary people. It can be said to be on the same level as salt. After all, it is firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.

"My lord." Seeing HAD's arrival, the eight soldiers quickly saluted.

HAD nodded, and took Mina and Annie to the workshop.

"Boom..."

"Buzzing..."

Before entering the door, the sound of the steam engine has already been heard. In the workshop, there are three presses driven by the steam engine, which are working.

The press was made by the scientific research department based on the blueprint given by HAD. It is in the shape of a vertical barrel, and the pressure is powered by a steam engine.

Pressing peanut oil is to directly separate the oil from the raw material by physical pressure, without any chemical additives in the whole process.

Before the steam engine appeared, peanut oil was pressed manually, which was the most primitive way of pressing peanut oil, and the amount of oil produced was enough for several shops.

Now with the advent of the steam engine, the amount of peanut oil is more, but now it is also limited by the raw material of peanuts.

"Buzzing..."

After the three of HAD entered the workshop, they frowned at the noise, and then looked around seriously.

"Wow, there are a lot of people peeling peanut shells." Enli looked at a group of people peeling peanut shells in surprise.

She knew about the peanuts. When the first batch of peanuts were harvested, HAD took some to the castle and asked Nicole to fry them into salty and fragrant peanuts. They can be eaten as snacks when nothing happens.

"Let's go, take a look in front." HAD walked towards the inside of the workshop.

"Rumble..."

The further you go inside, the louder the sound of the steam engine.

HAD took Mina and Annie to refer to the stir-frying process. Before pressing the peanuts, some moisture must be removed, and the peanuts must be stir-fried until they are 6 to 8 mature before pressing the oil.

"It's so delicious." Annie held the fried peanuts in her hand and was stuffing them into her mouth.

"It's quite fragrant, but it's not salty." Mina also commented that it was less salty than Nicole's stir-fried peanuts.

"..." HAD rolled his eyes and led the two into the pressing workshop.

The stir-fried peanuts are sent to the pressing workshop, and then poured into the funnel-shaped feeding port, and then pressed to squeeze out the peanut oil, followed by filtration and sedimentation, and the production of peanut oil is completed.

"Hey, that's how the oil comes from." Annie exclaimed, walking around the press twice, with little stars in her eyes.

Mina has already seen HAD before, and she was surprised when she first learned that oil can also be obtained from peanuts.

It is hard to imagine that oil can be obtained from these small peanuts, which also let Mina know that oil can be obtained not only from animals, but also from plants.

"Master, it's amazing. The grains grown are so versatile." Annie admired, the sugarcane planted can be used to make sugar, and the peanuts now can be used to extract oil.

"Ta Tata..."

HAD smiled, and turned to look at the head of the workshop who hurried over.

"Master City Lord." The person in charge of the oil press workshop walked over quickly. He was a member of the veterans.

"Can the production of oil keep up with the consumption now?" HAD asked lightly.

"It can keep up, and there is even a lot of surplus, all of which have been stored in the warehouse." The person in charge responded.

"After a while, I will ask the scientific research department to send you another press machine." HAD said calmly.

"Yes." The person in charge responded quickly.

"Open flames are strictly prohibited in the workshop, you must pay attention to this." HAD said seriously.

It's full of oil here, and if it catches fire, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes, we will definitely pay attention..." The person in charge replied respectfully, still aware of the seriousness of this matter, and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

HAD inspected around and left with Mina and Annie after finding nothing wrong. After all, the smell in the oil press workshop was really not pleasant after a long time.

"Master, I've only been inside for a while, and my whole body feels a little greasy." Annie pouted as she stroked her hair.

"It's the same as last time I came here. Just go back and take a shower with soap." Mina gently helped HAD remove the debris on her body. She just washed her hair last night, and she has to wash it again when she goes back today.

I don't know why, I used to find it bothersome to wash my hair once, but now I don't find it troublesome even if I wash it every day.

Every time I wash my hair, I feel refreshed and my hair is no longer greasy or itchy.

"Master, the soap is about to run out." Annie whispered.

When she took a bath with soap for the first time, she realized that it could be washed so clean and had a faint fragrance. Now that she doesn't use soap, she is not used to it.

Especially now in summer, when the whole body is sticky after sweating, it is even more necessary to take a bath with soap.

"No more?" HAD raised his eyebrows. It's been a long time since the last time he brought soap.

"Well, some of the soaps were given away, and Sheeran, Elsa, and Billis all gave away some of them." Annie explained softly.

"By the way, there is no soap, how did you take a bath before?" HAD asked curiously, but he didn't pay attention to this before.

One must know that Annie was a princess before, so did she also use clean water to take a bath?

"Using Qingbijiao, it's just not as clean as soap, so it can't compare to 4.0." Annie replied.

"Qingbijiao? What is this?" HAD was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he had heard of this thing.

"It's the fruit of a plant with fingers as long as a goat's horn." Mina explained softly.

"Oh?" HAD nodded clearly, guessing in his heart that this is something like saponins from another world?

He thinks that soap can be made, and among the books he brought over, there are methods of making soap. It seems that he will have to look for it when he goes back.

"Young master, are you still patrolling?" Annie asked as she stroked her hair.

"Go back, Nicole should already be cooking." HAD smiled.

Then the group of three left the workshop, got into the carriage, and under the escort of the wolf team, they headed for the castle.

HAD was thinking about the soap, while the two beast ear girls wanted to go back and take a bath.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"Second watch, ."

Chapter 834 Soap making.

After returning to the castle, Mina took Annie to take a bath together, her body was greasy, which made them feel uncomfortable.

HAD went directly to the study room, flipped through the bookshelves, and found the book he wanted after searching for a long time.

He sat on the chair and flipped through the pages, and found the information he wanted to read after more than half of the pages.

"Soap needs alkali and lard, and lard can be obtained from wild boars, but the alkali is a bit troublesome." HAD frowned slightly, and put down the book in his hand.

Alkali, the best way is of course to find alkali ore, but I don't know where to find it for a while.

If there is alkali ore, it can be mixed with lime, but now there is no other way.

In addition to adding lime to alkali ore, caustic soda can only be used according to the local method, but it will be much slower than using alkali ore.

"Bang bang bang..." There was a knock on the door.

"Master." Mina's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." HAD's voice came out, and Mina and Annie outside the door pushed open the door and walked in.

"Master, are you still reading?" Mina asked curiously, "Nicole said it's time to eat."

"Look at the soap making process." HAD said gently, closed the book casually, stood up and said, "Then let's eat first."

"Hey, do you want to make soap yourself, Master?" Annie's brown eyes were full of surprise.

"Yeah, I'll try it after eating." HAD smiled, opened the door and walked out.

"Hey, can we watch it?" Mina was also curious about how the soap was made.

But for some things, they also need HAD's approval before they can get in touch. She has never forgotten her identity.

"Of course, you can try to make a piece of soap of your own in the future." HAD said gently, since the beast ear mothers are all from her own family, it doesn't matter if she knows how to make it.

"Really? We can also do it by ourselves?" Annie was a little excited. If she could really do it by herself, she would make the soap into the shape of a lollipop.

"Yes." HAD nodded softly.

"Ta Tata..."

"..."

In the state of asking and answering, the three of them came to the restaurant.

And the dining table was already full of people waiting for dinner, Catherine, Lucy, Weiya, Deess, Nicole, and Fleur who had just returned from the air force base.

Fleur has been staying at the air force base during this time, practicing flying. Although she is already able to fly, she still needs more practice to be able to fly freely if she wants to fully familiarize herself with the new pair of wings.

"grown ups."

"Master."

"..."

When all the girls saw HAD, they all greeted him.

"Young Master, it's time to serve dinner." Nicole served HAD polished rice. She always remembered that HAD had the habit of eating polished rice.

"Let's serve dinner." HAD sat down and picked up the bowl.

Seeing HAD move his chopsticks, the rest of the people began to eat. It was very harmonious at first, but after a while, the daily routine of you fighting for each other was staged again.

"Ah, hateful Mina, you snatched my tomato scrambled eggs again." This was Annie's annoyed voice.

"No." This was Mina's daily sophistry.

"Today's hot and sour potato shreds are still so delicious." Catherine's golden eyes were filled with surprise. Recently, she has become obsessed with hot and sour potato shreds. She hopes that Nicole will make some for her every meal. .

"The braised lamb with potatoes is also delicious, Nicole is amazing." Princess Lucy praised, biting the soft potatoes in her mouth, she immediately fell in love with this dish.

"These dishes are all taught by the young master." Nicole blushed slightly.

When HAD is free, he will go to the kitchen to teach Nicole some new dishes. Although he has given several cookbooks, some dishes need to be taught by himself.

"I'm just moving my mouth. Nicole, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." HAD praised with a piece of mutton.

"Really, Nicole's cooking is getting better and better." Enli said vaguely with tomato scrambled eggs stuffed in her mouth.

Nicole was a little embarrassed to be praised by everyone, but she was very satisfied in her heart. It was a sense of accomplishment that her cooking was recognized by her friends, especially being praised by the young master, which made her even more happy.

"Ah! Annie, you snatched my potato shreds." Catherine exclaimed, and the plate of potato shreds in front of her had already lost more than half of it.

"Wow, the hot and sour potato shreds are really delicious, hot and sour, just a little bit worse than my tomato scrambled eggs." En Li chewed on the shredded potatoes, her brown eyes filled with surprise.

"Let me eat a little too." Teess looked at Lucy pitifully, stretched out her chopsticks, and said with cunning purple eyes, "Just a little."

"Okay." Catherine nodded, but she was wary of Annie, who knew that in the blink of an eye, the potato shreds in front of her were reduced by half again.

The corners of her eyes twitched immediately, and she rolled her eyes and said, "Deess, your little bit is really 'not much'."

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Deess exclaimed.

"I want to eat, too."

"I also want."

Catherine hurriedly used her hands to protect her belongings. This was a new skill she had learned during her time in the castle. If she didn't do this, she might be robbed of her favorite food.

This meal ended again in the frolicking between you and me.

　807 Everyone sat in their respective positions, stroking their stomachs and belching, and there was a cup of tea in front of each of them, which was used to help digestion and relieve tiredness.

After the meal, everyone started their daily chat.

"Master, when will you start making soap?" Annie remembered what HAD said about soap not long ago, so she asked.

"We can start after a while." HAD put down the cup in his hand and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Huh, the young master wants to make his own soap? Really?" Teess, who was leaning on her body, immediately sat up straight when she heard Annie's words.

"HAD is going to make soap, can I see it?" Lucy's eyes lit up. She has fallen in love with soap ever since she took a bath once. Corners are so useful.

So she was always curious about how this soap was made, but she was too embarrassed to ask HAD, after all, it was a secret.

Similarly, Catherine's golden eyes also had anticipation, and she also wanted to know how the soap was made.

"Yes." HAD nodded with a smile. It seems that the temptation of soap to them is still great, and it may be second only to the four-piece makeup set.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Chapter 835 Inspection of earth alkali.

"Then young master, when will you start making soap?" Annie's brown eyes were eager to try, and she couldn't hold back anymore.

"It's fine now, let's go to the laboratory." HAD smiled lightly, and led the people to the laboratory in the castle.

On the way, he told Nicole, "Nicole, go get some clean plant ash, water, lard and an egg."

"Okay!" Nicole nodded, but she was a little confused. Do you need plant ash, lard, and eggs to make soap?She immediately arranged for someone to collect these things.

"Hey, young master, do you need plant ash to make soap?" Annie asked with widened eyes.

"You'll find out after a while." HAD smiled lightly, now that he said Annie, he didn't understand what it meant.

"Huh? Lard oil is used, but the oil is not sticky in the first place, so how can it be made into soap?" Catherine and the others were puzzled.

Lucy and the others also looked at HAD eagerly. Although they also had doubts in their hearts, they all chose not to say anything.

"Ta Tata..."

Soon, several people came to the laboratory, and Nicole also collected all the things and put them on the table, while the girls surrounded them.

HAD was always wearing short-sleeved shorts in the castle, so he started directly. He took the ceramic pot and put the ash in it, then poured a certain amount of water, and took a wooden stick to stir it a few times.

He handed the things to Cat-Er Niang, and said, "Mina, come and stir, don't stop, change when you get tired."

"Okay." Mina took the wooden stick and began to stir.

"Nicole, bring some dried petals here." HAD turned his head and ordered. Dried petals are needed for making perfumes and cosmetics.

"Okay." Nicole turned and went to the counter.

She's obsessed with these things, from perfume all the way to eyebrow cream and rouge cream, you can see how interested she is in these things.

Soon, Nicole was holding three small ceramic jars containing three different varieties of flower petals.

These petals are all baked, that is, put the fresh petals on the charcoal stove and bake until the water is dried, which is also easy to preserve and can maximize the fragrance.

HAD picked up the dried petals that Nicole brought over, started to crush them into powder, and put them aside for later use.

He said to Catherine, "Give me some wood, and a carving knife〃'."

"Okay." Catherine immediately ran out to find something.

"Ha..." HAD shook his head amusedly. It's enough to go out and tell the maid, and he will go find it himself.

"Tap..."

After a few minutes...

Catherine came back with things in her arms, handed them to HAD and said, "Are these things enough?"

"Enough." After HAD took the hand, he started to carve patterns with a carving knife.

"HAD, what are you going to do?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Make a mold for soap." HAD responded without moving slowly, "You can also make a mold that you like, and you can use it when you make soap."

"Huh? You can have this." Lucy and Catherine's eyes lit up, and they immediately started to make it.

"Crack clap..."

After half an hour.

"Mina, don't stir it anymore, let him settle down." HAD said to Mina.

"Okay." Mina breathed a sigh of relief and shook her sore arm.

"Crack clap..."

Another half an hour passed, HAD put down the mold in his hand, turned his head and looked at the girls who were seriously carving with their heads down, and couldn't help grinning.

"It should have settled." HAD turned his head and looked at the ceramic pot containing the plant ash water. He could clearly see two layers of plant ash water. The upper layer contained clean plant ash water, and the lower layer contained settled plant ash.

"Master, do you still want to stir?" Teess asked curiously, her purple eyes were eager to do something.

"I'll let you do it later." HAD shook his head lightly, and used another ceramic pot to get out the relatively clean plant ash.

"Oh." Deess's mold is a circular groove, and any pattern is useless, so she has time to stare at HAD.

"Now we need to use the soil method to test the alkali content." HAD took an egg and gently put it into the jar of plant ash water.

Finally, it was found that the eggs sank and floated in the water, but neither sank to the bottom nor floated on the top, which means that the alkali content in the plant ash water is still acceptable.

"Huh? This is so amazing." Teess was surprised.

"This is the charm of chemistry." HAD responded casually, and then poured the clean lard into the ash water.

In the hot weather of summer, lard does not solidify at all. If it is winter, lard has to be heated and melted.

"Chemistry?" Teess was a little confused, what is this?

"Come on, stir at high speed." HAD handed the ceramic jar to Niujiao.

"Okay." Teess took over the hand and started stirring immediately.

"Add some fragrant pollen." HAD poured the freshly crushed petal powder into a ceramic jar.

"It's... a bit sticky..." Mina leaned her head over and shouted.

ten minutes later.

"Okay, Deess, stop it." HAD estimated that the materials could be fully fused.

"Huh..." Teess heaved a sigh of relief, her breathing was a little short.

"Here, bring all the molds here." HAD took the ceramic jar, picked up the spoon on the side, scooped out the viscous liquid from the ceramic jar, and poured it into the prepared molds on the side.

"¨. Good." The women immediately pushed the strange-shaped mold over.

This jar of semi-finished soap was just enough to fill everyone's molds.

"Okay, it can be used after it solidifies." HAD put down the spoon in his hand and smiled lightly.

"Master, is this all right?" Annie's brown eyes filled with astonishment. The making of this soap is much easier than I imagined.

But the materials used to make soap are beyond my imagination. They are lard, plant ash, water, and pollen.

"This..." Lucy was stunned.

It was only now that everyone realized that this soap would do just that.

"It's not that mysterious..." Catherine complained, thinking that such a high-end soap should be made of precious materials.

But...it's all simple things.

Nicole carefully picked up a mold, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, and suddenly there was a faint floral fragrance, which did not have the unique smell of wild boar oil at all, but it smelled very good.

"It turns out that soap is made like this, it's amazing." Mina marveled, and there was a look of surprise in her blue eyes (Qian Zhao).

"Master, what is the principle of this? Is it magic?" Annie was a little confused. How could this lard and plant ash be turned into soap?

"Soap, the main ingredients are alkali and oil, plant ash..." HAD briefly talked about the ingredients and principle of soap.Just seeing the dazed and dazed expressions on everyone's faces after listening to it, I knew that I was talking for nothing.

Of course, most of the raw materials of soaps used on the earth are replaced by chemical substances.

"In a few hours, let's see if the soap can be successful. If possible, you can follow this method in the future." HAD said softly.

He was thinking, if there is a lot of oil, he can open a soap shop, mainly because the raw materials are limited, especially alkali.

The alkali content obtained by the local method is still a bit low, and the cleaning effect is definitely worse than the soap on the other side of the earth.

Chapter 836 Mid-Autumn Festival? ?

After HAD finished making the soap, he went back to the study, and the cat-eared lady followed behind, holding a mold that she had carved herself. Looking at the shape, it looked a bit like a kitten with crooked growth.

Wei Ya put away her soap mold and left. She has to go back to class, and the reading competition will start tomorrow, so she has to go back and make some preparations.

Now the stage is set up in the school's playground, and the poems and words to be recited are all prepared by the students themselves. Wei Ya just teaches them how to recite, what adjectives should be used and what intonation, and let the students practice in the past few days.

Teess also left, she came back just to grab a meal, and now she should go back and continue her inspections when she is full.

Nicole took the notebook and wrote down the soap making process carefully, planning to try to make some different soaps by herself if the soap was formed tomorrow.

"By the way, you can add a little pearl powder to it, which can maintain the skin, but the cost has increased, and it can be supplied to those nobles and businessmen..." Nicole said to herself, thinking about Liu After Feng's operation just now, he continued to write.

Princess Lucy went back to the room. She had a sudden inspiration just now, and she was about to start writing the second book of the "City of Miracles" series. She decided to write soap into it. Of course, the production process will not be described.

As for Fleur, she still went back to practice at the air force base, and waited for her elder sister by the way. Although she knew that at the speed of Leya and others, she hadn't reached the valley yet, but even so, she still had to wait. .

This time Leya was going to kill the dragon, even with the military crossbow and anesthetic given by HAD, she still felt worried to some extent.

...

After returning to the study, HAD flipped through the books, looking for some characteristics and identification methods of alkali mines. Since he plans to open a soap shop, some problems still need to be solved.

Among them, grease and alkali are the most difficult to find, and the best way is of course to find alkali ore.

As for the oil, HAD intends to have someone experiment with peanut oil to see if it will be effective. If it doesn't work, he can only make plans after the domesticated wild boars are domesticated.

"Alkali mines mostly appear in lakes and..." HAD flipped through the books and wrote on the paper with a pen, trying to express the characteristics of alkali mines in a simple description (cbac).

Mina sat at the corner of the table, dangling her legs, looking at HAD with gentle eyes from time to time.

After more than half an hour...

"Mina, send someone to the underground bounty club to see if you can find the trona mine." HAD took the paper he had just written, read it from the beginning to the end, and found that people in this world could understand it. Handed it to Mina.

"Okay." Mina nodded, she remembered that alkali is a part of making soap.

HAD is holding the attitude of giving it a try. There should be trona in this world, but I don't know if I can find it. If I can't, I can only find something else to replace it.

"Is the young master planning to mass-produce soap?" Mina asked curiously.

"Yeah, we are short of alkali right now. If we can find a large amount of alkali, we can mass produce it." HAD nodded. If the soap is popularized, he can earn a fortune.

Mina nodded. She didn't know much about these things. She hoped that the underground bounty club could find the alkali mine that the young master was talking about.

"By the way, young master, Wei Ya asked me to remind you before leaving that tomorrow is the start of the recitation competition." Mina remembered something and said to HAD.

"Okay." HAD leaned on the back of the chair, replied lazily, and stretched.

Mina came behind HAD, put her hands on his shoulders, and pressed them down.

"Have you found a suitable place to build a vegetable greenhouse?" HAD raised his head and looked at the cat-eared lady who was looking down at him.

"Not yet, I have stepped up efforts to find people." Mina's cheeks were flushed, but she did not avoid HAD's sight.

"Well, let them serve snacks. The vegetable greenhouse project can't be delayed any longer. We can't finish the work before winter comes. There will be no fresh vegetables to eat this winter." HAD reached out and touched the long hair of the cat-eared lady.

"Okay." Mina replied softly.

"Have the nobles who cooperated with us left?" HAD remembered calling those nobles to come over last time.

Otherwise, when the dwarves come, the linen is not enough to trade, and it will be a bit embarrassing.

"Let's go, as long as the invitations are delivered, they are already on their way." Mina nodded. She just got the news from the Security Department yesterday.

During this period of time, some nobles who were close to the surrounding area came to Sheba City first, and it would take a few days for those who were far away to catch up.

"Let people keep an eye on it. If those nobles have cooperation with the inland, they should send the information back in advance." HAD nodded. Since he came, it means that the linen that the Aoli Dwarf Kingdom wanted has been obtained.

He estimated that Darlene and the others will be back in a little more than one month, so they have to celebrate at that time.

"Yes." Mina replied quickly.

Thinking of celebrating, it reminded HAD that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the half-lying body sat upright, and now it will soon be autumn, which means that the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away, and maybe the Mid-Autumn Festival can be HAD still attaches great importance to moving to another world and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in another world.

"Mina, how about we add another Mid-Autumn Festival in Sheba City?" HAD asked softly.

"Master, what is Mid-Autumn Festival?" Mina asked suspiciously.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is an important festival in my hometown. On this day, we have to eat moon cakes and admire the moon..." HAD's black eyes have memories. I spent it alone.

But this year is destined to be different, I am no longer alone.

"Hey, it's a festival in the young master's hometown, mooncakes? Enjoy the moon?" Mina's blue eyes sparkled with curiosity, what are mooncakes?Could it be a cake in the shape of the moon?

"You'll know this when the time comes, mooncakes are delicious." HAD said sarcastically.

There is still a long time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is enough to prepare for myself.

"Second watch, ."

Chapter 837 Recitation Competition.

Early the next morning, HAD washed up and started to get busy in the study after breakfast. The recitation competition started in the afternoon, so there was no need to rush there.

Mina was reading the book aside, it was still the "City of Miracles", and she didn't know how many times she had read it, anyway, when she was bored, the cat-eared lady would hold this book and read it.

"Bang bang bang..." The door suddenly rang.

"Master, I'm coming in." Annie's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in~ let's go." HAD said calmly.

"crunch..."

The door was pushed open, and Nicole came in after Annie - all holding wooden boxes in their hands.

"Young master, soap is really made. I never thought soap could be made with plant ash and lard." Annie said with emotion, and put the four wooden boxes in her hand on the table.

Nicole did the same, put down the four wooden boxes in her hand, and then opened one.

This is the soap that HAD made yesterday. Apart from the one made by each of the girls, there are eight pieces of soap, which are now packed in these wooden boxes.

HAD picked up a piece of soap, which was only the size of an egg. It was light red in color and exuded a faint floral fragrance.

"Well, it looks pretty good, how is the cleaning effect?" HAD asked as he put down the soap.

"The cleaning effect is not as good as those soaps brought by the young master, and they are not as durable as those soaps of the same size. The new ones will be used faster." Nicole said softly. She was experimenting early this morning. Compare the pros and cons of the two soaps.

"Then compared to Qingbijiao, which one is better?" HAD put the wooden box on the lid.

"Of course soap is easier to use. Although it is not as good as the ones brought by the young master, it is many times better than Qingbijiao." Nicole said without thinking.

"Well, that's enough. Mina can ask someone to prepare the oil first." HAD nodded. As long as the soap is better than Qingbijiao, then there is nothing to worry about. If it is sold, It's sure to be a hit.

"Yes." Mina nodded, took out her notebook and wrote it down.

"By the way, when Nicole is free, you can try to use peanut oil instead of lard to see if you can make soap." HAD said, remembering some conjectures yesterday, he can start experimenting.

"Okay, master." Nicole nodded. She is also planning to do this experiment. After all, lard is not so easy to get now. If peanut oil can be used instead, then it will be much easier.

"I also want to add pearl powder to the soap to see if it can have a miraculous effect of moisturizing the skin." Nicole recalled some of her own ideas yesterday, and now she is telling HAD.

"This idea is fine. Let's try it. If it succeeds, this kind of soap mixed with pearl powder can be used as soap for washing the face and sold to those nobles and celebrities." HAD nodded appreciatively, after all, next time If Biris comes again, she will definitely bring many pearls.

"Okay." Nicole nodded seriously.

"Let's go, now go to school to see how the recitation competition is going." HAD stood up, looked at the soap on the table, and said softly, "Take three pieces of this soap and reward the top three students." ."

"Yes." Mina followed HAD's pace with three wooden boxes in her arms.

And Annie and Nicole looked at each other the same way, and also followed. They were also looking forward to the recitation competition.

A group of four got into the carriage, and under the escort of the wolf team, they headed for the school in the city.

More than ten minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the school. Xin Ke put the wooden ladder on the carriage, and HAD and others got out of the carriage one after another.

Surrounded by the wolf squad, he entered the school gate.

The appearance of HAD immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students and parents. They all had admiration, respect and awe in their eyes. They looked at HAD and others from a distance. Because of the existence of the wolf team, they dared not Squeeze up.

This recitation competition, in addition to the students, their parents can also come to watch, just need to register their ID cards at the guard room.

In addition, some nobles from Sheba City can also enter the school to watch.

HAD and others walked towards the school's playground, where a stage had already been set up. The stage was covered with red-dyed sackcloth. Underneath, there were bamboo chairs, which were the seats for students and parents.

・・・ Flowers・・ 0

In the front row, there is a row of tables and chairs. This is the position of the referee. At this time, Wei Ya is sitting in one of the positions.

Supported by the Wolf Warriors team, HAD and others sat in the front row one by one. HAD came this time just to watch, not to be a referee.

This time the main referee is Wei Ya, followed by the school teachers to score, and finally according to the scores of the teachers, Wei Ya will combine to determine the ranking.

"Master." Seeing HAD sitting beside her, Wei Ya immediately became a little nervous.

"It's okay, you are your referee, I just came to take a look." HAD whispered in Wei Ya's ear.

"Okay." Wei Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to her, the other teachers were more nervous. They didn't expect the city lord to come.

..............

"The city lord is here, we must behave better."

This is the inner thought of everyone present, including the participating students and teachers.

"Now I announce that the first Sheba School's recitation competition will start now. Let us invite the first contestant..." A teacher stood on the stage, holding a metal scroll in his hand. Cheng's trumpet shouted.

As soon as the voice fell, an 11-year-old human child stepped onto the stage, holding a piece of paper in his hand, saluted in the direction of HAD, and began to read aloud:

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, but habits are far away. If you don't teach, your nature will change..."

"Threesome, there must be my teacher..."

"The moonlight is bright in front of the bed, it is suspected to be frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon..."

"..."

One after another, the students came to the stage and began to recite. Some of them were already timid before they started, but they insisted on reading the article in their hands in the end.

From below, HAD watched with great interest one by one the students came to the stage, reading poems and articles aloud.

The recitation competition lasted for two hours before it ended. Wei Ya combined the scores given by all the teachers to the students and quickly selected the top ten.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"."

Chapter 838 War is approaching.

"No.10 Carlo, No.9 Adrian, No.8 Fred, No.7 Benson, sixth..." The teacher in charge took over the top ten list from Wei Ya , read it with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, that's my kid, he won No.6, that's great."

"Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me. No.4 is also good. I'll take you to eat pizza when I go back."

"It's a pity, why didn't my child win the award, it seems that I have to 'reward' him well when I go back."

"..."

The adults in the audience began to discuss, some were happy and some were disappointed.

"I just got some good news. The top three in today's recitation competition can get a piece of soap brought by the city lord. This soap is amazing, compared to that green and green..." The host teacher held a piece of soap in his hand. Wooden box, "Five Three Three" boasted fiercely.

"Soap, there is such a miraculous thing, better than that Qingbijiao? I don't know if it's sold in the city, I'm going to buy it and try it."

"The city owner said that it is not bad if it is easy to use. If it is sold, I must buy it and try it."

"..."

Some nobles discussed it below, and they were all curious about soap, especially the nobles who lived in Sheba City, they were used to bathing every day.

"The city lord said that there may be a soap shop in the future, and everyone can look forward to it." The host paused, then continued to shout, "Now, please come to the stage to accept the awards."

The students whose names were read came onto the stage with smiles on their faces and stood in a row. Wei Ya came on stage to present awards to them in person, that is, to distribute small burlap bags containing coins.

"In the future, the recitation competition will be held once every semester, and the rewards will remain the same. If you can't make it into the top ten this time, then go back and continue working hard to make it into the top ten next time." Wei Ya said a few words and got off up the stage.

"My lord, how is my speech?" Wei Ya came to HAD, and her nervous heart finally let go. This was the first time she spoke in front of so many people.

"Very good." HAD praised without thinking.

"It's very good, Wei Ya." Nicole gave Wei Ya a thumbs up.

"Hee hee..." Wei Ya smiled embarrassedly, and then she went to help the teachers and organize the students to leave.

HAD and others got into the carriage and went back to the castle. Mina followed HAD back to the study. There were still some government affairs to be dealt with, while Nicole went to the laboratory to test whether peanut oil could replace lard. .

...

Yalin City, where the eastern center of the Kingdom of Yingluo is located.

In the castle in the city, Greener sat at the head of the meeting hall, and under him was the red deacon of the black iris, some nobles who supported him, and Johanson, the representative sent by the pirates.

"I called everyone here today, I think everyone knows why." Greener said straight to the point, his eyes were stern.

"Your Highness has something to say." Qiao Sen curled his lips and said grinningly.

"You..." The knight commander was about to reprimand, but was stopped by Greener.

Greener waved his hand, trying not to get angry, now he still needs to rely on the help of these pirates.

"I got the news that the knight team sent by Lucia has arrived in Genaro City." Red Deacon said calmly.

Gennaro City, if you go fast, you can reach Yalin City in two days. It is also a big city. There are no other cities or villages between the two cities, only a piece of wasteland and mountains.

"There are four thousand knights in total." The knight commander added, his eyes were serious.

With Lucia's financial resources, these four thousand knights are definitely well-equipped, and they also have the strongest horses.

"Four thousand knights? So many people?" Qiao Sen stared and exclaimed directly.

"That's the fact. Some of these knights were recruited from those nobles." Red Deacon said solemnly.

"There are only a little over 4000 of us here, and some of them don't have horses, and even weapons are barely enough." Qiao Sen frowned.

He didn't expect Lucia to be so ruthless, and he sent four thousand knights directly, which made him think whether he should reconsider the cooperation with the second prince.

"We are trying to solve the problem of war horses. We originally wanted to buy some from Puro, but who knows that his tribe has been taken over by Beastkin now." Red Deacon's eyes were gloomy...

The first time Pu Luo refused to sell the war horse, he wanted to discuss it again when he came back, who would have thought that when he went for the second time, he learned that Pu Luo's territory had been occupied by Beastkin.

"Those humble Beastkin come here to spoil my good deeds again and again." Greener said coldly, if he hadn't faced the eldest prince now, he would have adjusted his troops and directly attacked the Beastkin territory.

"In the final analysis, the issue of the war horse is still not resolved." Qiao Sen's face darkened again, and he began to doubt the promise that Deacon Hong made before.

The so-called noble title and a city are only useful if the other party can sit on the throne, otherwise everything is empty talk.

"Can we use a draft horse instead?" Greener asked suddenly.

The knight commander, Qiao Sen, and the red deacon turned their heads to stare at the second prince, as if they were looking at the mentally retarded.

They didn't know what the second prince was thinking, and they could figure out such a bad idea. Although the draft horse and the war horse were both horses, they couldn't be compared at all.

Although the endurance of a draft horse is better than that of a war horse, it is not as fast, explosive and flexible as a war horse. Moreover, an untrained draft horse is undoubtedly looking for a dead end. Whether it is running away or chasing, it will be easily overtaken by the war horse.

"..." Seeing the eyes of everyone, Greener knew that what he said was wrong, but there was no other way at present.

Deacon Hong's face was sullen, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Greener in his heart.

1.8 "Everyone, we have no way out now. We are about to start preparing for the battle. There are at most three days before Lucia will start again. It will be time for the decisive battle." The knight commander said in a deep voice.

There is hesitation in Qiao Sen's eyes. The gap between the two sides is not small. If there is a war, the possibility of losing is %.

"There is no chance to quit. Don't forget whose territory this is." Red Deacon turned to stare at Qiao Sen, seeing the hesitation in his eyes.

Qiao Sen's face became extremely ugly, which was a threat to himself.

Obviously this is Yalin City, which belongs to the second prince's territory. If he repents, he may not even be able to get out of the city gate.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

". I went out today, sorry, just came back."

Chapter 839 Unify the Kingdom?

"..." Qiao Sen's face was gloomy, and he stopped talking because he knew that he had no choice.

What's more, if the pirates want to become nobles in the Kingdom of Yingluo, they really can only rely on the second prince. Otherwise, if the eldest prince wins, the first thing to do is to encircle and suppress the pirates.

"Guys, I have a suggestion, which may increase the chance of victory by %." The knight commander pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up at Greener Road.

"Say it!" Greener pressed the armrest of the chair tightly with his hands.

The rest of the people also looked at the knight commander.

"Since there is too much difference in strength between us and Lucia, we can only defend and stick to Yalin City." The knight commander said in a deep voice, tapping his fingers on the table, making a 'da da da...' sound.

"This..." Everyone present thought about it. Originally, they thought that the eldest prince would not bring too many knights, but now it was beyond their expectations.

"If there is a 23 head-to-head match, we have little chance of winning." The knight commander stared at Greener and continued, "Your Highness must have thought of this reason."

"However, the food in this city can't sustain so many people to defend Yalin City. It can only last for a month at most." Red Deacon said solemnly.

"Yeah, food is a big problem." Greener put his hand on his forehead, feeling very troubled.

"Don't worry about this, Lucia will take a little time to rest in Gennaro City, and it will take two days from Gennaro City to Yalin City, so we have at least three more days to go to other places. The city mobilizes food." The big knight analyzed.

When Greener and the others heard the words, their eyes lit up. It seemed that this method could be used. It was enough to go to the nearest city to collect grain in these days, and those disobedient nobles and grain merchants would all become targets.

But in this way, those merchants and nobles are 1 unhappy.

But isn't it useful to be happy?The answer is no, facing the knights of the second prince, they cannot resist.

"This method is good. There are three cities closest to us, and the soldiers are divided into three groups. Three or four days is just enough time to go back and forth." A smile appeared on the corner of Hong Deacon's mouth. This method is currently the best method.

"Since this is the case, let's act now, those civilians should also contribute." Greener urged, with madness in his eyes.

Hearing Greener's words, the knight commander frowned. He wanted to snatch those civilians together. He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

"Yes." The knight commander said in a deep voice, and left the conference hall without looking back, and went to mobilize the knights to prepare for departure.

"Your Excellency Qiao Sen, I hope you can send some companions to go with us." The red deacon looked at Qiao Sen and said calmly.

"Yes." Qiao Sen pondered for a moment, then nodded, but the dark color on his face became more and more gloomy.

What the other party meant was that they were afraid that if all the pirates stayed in the city, it would be bad for the rest of the people. After all, nearly 2000 pirates came this time.

If the second prince sent most of the knights out to collect food, then the number of knights staying in the city would be less than the number of pirates, which would easily cause problems.

"Then I'll have to work." Red Deacon sneered, with calculations in his eyes.

"Hmph!" Qiao Sen snorted coldly, got up and left.

"Lucia, let's see who can have the last laugh." Greener leaned on the back of the chair and whispered to himself.

The red deacon on the side lowered his head, hearing Greener's words, a sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he was not optimistic about the second prince.

 ...

At this time, in the castle of Gennaro City, two days away from Yalin City, Lucia, Deacon No. , Grand Knight Benson, Duke Daniel and others were discussing matters.

It is normal for Grand Knight Benson to accompany him to the battle as the Grand Knight Commander, but Daniel was completely forced by Lucia to bring him along, so he is afraid of ten thousand if he is not afraid of it.

For Lucia, the Grand Knight of Benson, Daniel, the newly promoted Duke, had them stay by his side and be seen most at ease.

"Your Majesty, I suggest taking a rest for a few days, and wait for the knights to fully recover before going to battle in Yalin City." Benson said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Lucia nodded. Everyone was very tired from the journey during this time, and they needed to rest for a few days, and the logistics food hadn't arrived yet, so it was unrealistic to go to war right now.

Daniel secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and finally he could rest for a while. During this period of time, he was on the road. Although he was staying in the carriage, the bumps along the way made his body almost fall apart, and even his forehead was hit by the bumps. A big bag came out, and it hasn't disappeared yet.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that after the rest, the surrounding cities should be recovered first, so as to cut off Greener's retreat." The third deacon suggested.

"Well, it can be done like this." The great knight Benson nodded, agreed with the suggestion of the third deacon, and said, "This will completely cut off Grenard's supplies, even if he escapes, he will have nowhere to go."

"That's right, the second prince is in Yalin City now, and he has no escape. It's better to clean up the surrounding cities of 740 tons first." Earl Daniel shouted, trying to show his obedience.

"Okay." Lucia nodded and agreed.

"Do you have a map of the terrain around Yalin City?" Knight Benson looked at the city lord of Genaro City who was sitting at the bottom.

"Yes, here." The city lord of Genaro City quickly took out a parchment roll from his body and spread it on the table.

"Well, let's take these five cities first, and the rest can be rectified after the rebels are taken down." The great knight Benson said, pointing to the five cities around Yalin City.

"Well, after the food arrives, we will put down the chaos immediately." Lucia looked up and nodded.

"I wish Your Majesty the kingdom." Red Deacon said with a light smile.

"Unify the kingdom and take down the rebel party."

"Unify the Kingdom!"

"..."

"Hahahaha!" Lucia laughed, and the rampant laughter echoed in the conference hall.

I hope my dear second brother can hold on for a few more days, but don't be too unbearable.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Second watch, ."

Chapter 840 Assassination?

In a place of chaos, in the palace of King Maner's capital city.

Macro was flipping through government affairs, and the sheepskin rolls were spread on the table. At this time, he was frowning with distress on his face.

It was almost time for the autumn harvest, and there were many traces of horse thieves in the surrounding area, obviously coming to grab the wheat and polished rice.

There are many horse thieves every year, and they have to send a large number of knights to encircle and suppress them. However, many horse thieves have already explored the retreat route, and often they can only encircle and suppress some scattered horse thieves in the end. It is difficult to catch organized horse thieves. them.

In fact, those scattered horse thieves were the real horse thieves, and the organized horse thieves were all from the other two duchies. It was their knights who dressed up as horse thieves and came to Maner to grab wheat.

It's just that every year when the autumn harvest comes, some of the wheat cannot be avoided being robbed.

"Damn the Principality of Mullin and the Principality of Chama, you all deserve to die." Macro said angrily with a gloomy face.

"Ta Tata..."

At this moment, a knight came in from the outside, saluted Macro and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Mandesi is asking to see you."

"Let her in." Macro heard that it was Mandesi, and his gloomy face suddenly looked better.

"Your Majesty, you have to decide for my younger brother." Mrs. Mandesi rushed in from the outside, lay on Macro's body and cried loudly.

Mandesi is a bit fat woman, one of the more than wives in Macro's harem, and the one he loves the most. Who made him like "plump" women?

"What's the matter? Get up and talk." Macro was startled, and pulled Mandesi to stand up.

As a result, because Mandesi was too heavy, Macro almost lost his waist, and sat back on his seat exhausted and out of breath.

"Weber City was occupied by Beastkin. My brother was imprisoned by those Beastkin and sent to mine. You must rescue him." Mandesi cried with tears and snot in his nose.

"Weber City is captured'"? Macro frowned, and rummaged through the parchment in front of him, only to find the parchment from the bottom that said Weber City was occupied by Beastkin.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Macro's face. It turned out that the parchment had already been delivered, but he didn't pay attention to look at it at the time. Now he remembered that the lord of Weber City seemed to be Mandesi's younger brother.

"Occupied by Beastkin." Macro frowned. He knew there were Beastkin activities over there, but he never took it to heart.

After all, he had to deal with the harassment and provocations from the other two duchies, so he didn't have the energy to send people to encircle and suppress those Beastkin.

In fact, in the entire chaotic land, most of the cities belonging to the three duchies, the kings have no energy to govern. Their only goal at present is to annex each other and become a new kingdom again.

"Your Majesty, you must save my brother and arrest those lowly Beastkin as slaves." Mandesi wiped his nose and said viciously.

"But... you go down first, I will find a way." Macro was distressed, and waved his hands.

"Your Majesty, please save him, Dema can't bear the pain of mining, he will die inside." Mandesi begged sincerely.

"It's the autumn harvest season now, and there are no extra knights to send out." Macro said helplessly. He didn't want to tell her at first, but right now nothing is more important than keeping the wheat.

"Your Majesty, is my brother's life inferior to that of wheat?" Mandesi began to make trouble for no reason, pulling Macro's clothes with both hands.

"..." A trace of disgust flashed in Macro's eyes, and his love for Mandesi suddenly decreased.

Compared with the wheat that can feed the entire principality, the life and death of a person is too insignificant and incomparable.

"When the wheat is harvested, it is possible to save him. If you continue to make trouble for no reason, then wait to collect your brother's body." Macro said coldly, shaking Mandesi's hand away.

"..." Mandesi's face changed, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak again. She knew that Macro would do what he said, and she would not doubt it.

"Yes..." Mandesi answered in a crying voice, slowly got up from the ground, and left.

"Ta Tata..."

Macro watched Mandesi leave, his face brightened a little, and he said with a gloomy face, "Those damned Beastkin, I will clean you up after I finish harvesting the wheat."

He shouted outside, "Let the knight commander come to see me."

"Yes." The knight outside the door responded, and then left to invite the knight commander.

Half an hour later, the knight commander appeared in front of Macro.

"Your Majesty." The knight commander saluted.

"It's almost time to harvest the wheat right now. I hope it will be the same as in previous years. Even if I can't keep all of it, at least % of it will be kept." Macro said solemnly.

"Yes." The knight commander responded with a serious face, without thinking.

"¨々I asked you to check last time, did you get any results?" Macro suddenly thought of something, flipping the parchment on the table with both hands.

After he left the Aoli dwarf kingdom, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, and then he asked the knight commander to send someone to investigate.

"Your Majesty, there are results. I learned from the underground bounty club that during the time when Your Majesty went to the Aoli Dwarf Kingdom, a group of people who claimed to be businessmen from Sheba City in the Kingdom of Yingluo also entered at that time." The palace." The knight commander said in a deep voice.

" Sheba City in the Kingdom of Yingluo." Macro's expression darkened.

"Yes, according to His Majesty's description, the group of merchants did bring fine wine and set up a stall in the market." The knight commander continued.

"That's right, this Sheba City ruined my good deed." Macro said coldly, with anger in his eyes.

"When they left, they loaded a ship full of iron ore, and the ship was 50 meters long." The knight commander said in a deep voice.

"What, the dwarves have started to export iron ore?" Macro slapped the table, and stood up straight (Qian Zhao), with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes." The knight commander nodded. This scene was seen by many people at the port, and it was the truth.

"Damn dwarves, damn Sheba City." Macro said angrily.

"..." The knight commander didn't speak, it was right to keep quiet at this time.

"It's impossible to send someone to get rid of the lord of Sheba City and ruin my good deeds without paying the price." Macro said coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

If it weren't for the current situation in the principality that prevented him from sending most of the knights away, he would have wanted to send the knights to intercept them. Now he can only consider the method of assassination.

"Yes." The knight commander nodded, and then retreated. He was going to find someone to go to Sheba City, and he already had a candidate in his heart.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"One more, ."

Chapter 841 Lady Wolf Ear is back.

"Master." Mina's voice sounded from outside.

"Come in." HAD said.

"crunch..."

"Master, Avery is back." Mina said directly when she came in. (cece)

"Avery is back?" Enli immediately stood up with a smile on her face. She hadn't seen Avery for a while.

"Are you back?" HAD was also pleasantly surprised, the wolf-er lady has been away for a long time.

"Yes, she has returned to the castle..." Mina nodded.

"Tap tap..."

The door was not closed, and there were clear footsteps outside, and the next moment, Avery walked in from the outside carrying a sack.

"His Royal Highness." Avery greeted Annie immediately after entering the door.

"Welcome back, thank you for your hard work." Annie looked at the tired expression on Lady Wolf's Ear, stepped forward and pulled Avery to look up and down a few times, and asked with concern, "Is your body not injured?"

"No, everything is fine." Avery shook her head quickly, most of the tiredness on her face was swept away.

"Avery, long time no see." Nicole greeted softly.

"Long time no see." Avery nodded, her tiredness seemed to dissipate a little.

"Drink some water." HAD said gently.

"Hmm!" Avery took the teacup from Nicole, drank a few sips, took out a circle of blueprints from her arms, handed them to HAD and said, "This is the road map, and there are a lot of herbs and The location of the wild fruit."

HAD put the drawing aside and asked concerned, "Is anyone injured?"

"No, it's just a long journey, and I'm very tired." Avery shook her head, and her inner affection for HAD increased a little.

"Well, have you found the emerald ore?" HAD asked softly.

"I found it. There is very likely a mine vein there, and I have marked the location on the road map, leaving someone to watch over there." Avery nodded coldly.

"Very good." Only then did HAD open the blueprint and take a look. Sure enough, the word Jade was marked at a place eight days away from Sheba City.

"This is the ore brought back from there. I found these according to the method." Avery opened the burlap bag she brought over, revealing several stones inside, one of which was the size of a human head.

HAD got up and came to the ore, picked up the head-sized ore, with a smile on his face, if it was full of emeralds, the size would be a bit astonishing.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go and rest first. I will have someone notify you when you are eating." HAD said softly, not rushing to ask about some things.

"Okay." Avery nodded, and was immediately pulled away by Annie.

"Then young master, I'm going to cook." Nicole also left, leaving HAD studying the emerald ore alone.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Second watch, ."

Chapter 842 with rhythm.

Early the next morning, in the restaurant, everyone who had just finished eating was rubbing their bellies, while HAD went back to the study, followed by Mina and Avery.

"Gag..."

After entering the study, HAD, who had just sat down, watched the two people come in and asked, "Avery, are you sure you want to go back to the Forbidden Mountain Range in the afternoon?"

"Well, we have to go back as soon as possible, there are not many supplies left in Jones's place." Avi-Li nodded.

And if you relax, you already relaxed yesterday, so there is no need to waste any more time.

Yesterday, after lunch, Avery was dragged to the city by Annie. During this time, she had already experienced all the new things that came out, such as the Mala Tang.

In fact, she worked for HAD not only because Annie was taken care of by HAD here, but also because of the Brutu Kingdom on the other side of the confinement mountain range. HAD promised to take them back to have a look. Get through the Forbidden Mountains.

"Well, I will have people prepare supplies for you, and then send you to the emerald ore in a hot air balloon. If you go any further, you won't have enough fuel." HAD nodded and didn't ask her to rest for another day.

"Okay!" Avery nodded, which could save a lot of time.

"At that time, a hot air balloon lifting platform and a temporary station will be built at the emerald ore. It will be much faster to and from Sheba City in the future." HAD continued.

By the time Avery returns from the depths of the Forbidden Mountains here, it will save a lot of time.

"Mina, take Avery to change into new equipment." HAD turned his head and told Mina.

"Okay." Mina nodded. The new equipment naturally refers to weapons made of new alloys, which are light and hard. It will be of great help to Avery who is running around in the confinement mountains.

"New equipment?" Avery had doubts in her eyes and didn't ask further.

"Let's go, Avery, I'll take you to pick out the equipment." Mina pulled Avery's arm and walked outside together.

Watching Avery and Mina leave, HAD picked up the document on the desktop and looked at it. This is a contract for joining the chamber of commerce, and this afternoon, HAD will meet those who are invited from various places. nobleman.

It has been exactly ten days since the last time the invitation was sent out today, and everyone who should have come has already come.

Now HAD is preparing for this matter. He wants to form a chamber of commerce, not only for the orders from Aoli Dwarf Kingdom, but also for the future development of Sheba City.

It is also a means to control those nobles. As long as they taste the sweetness, they will not choose to withdraw from the chamber of commerce, or even a company.

...

In the afternoon, HAD and Mina, who had finished their meal, boarded the carriage to Zuixiao Building under the escort of the Wolf Warriors team. This time, the discussion was still held on the first floor. The auditorium, the opera house, had not yet been built.

"Is Avery gone?" HAD asked Mina after getting into the carriage.

"Let's go. As soon as the supplies were ready, she set off from the air force base with her people." Mina nodded.

"I left in such a hurry, Annie is going to talk about me." HAD shook his head with a wry smile. Right now, Annie is still busy with the orders. The arrival of these nobles these days has brought a lot of orders. One exception is all related to food.

"Master, Xilan has arrived." Mina smiled lightly at HAD.

"With her to help drive the rhythm, this time it will be much easier." HAD said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. He remembered that when he talked with these nobles last time, Xilan's performance below was worthy of his praise.

"Tat Tat Tat..." The carriage stopped.

"My lord, Zuixiao Building has arrived." Sink's voice came from outside the carriage, and the wooden stairs were already on the ground.

HAD took Mina out of the carriage, surrounded by the Wolf Warriors team, and entered Zuixiaolou.

In the hall on the first floor of Zuixiao Tower, there are nearly 300 nobles from various city lords. These people are all the lords of a city, and they all have a cooperative relationship with HAD.

They got the textile machine technology and some other technologies from HAD. In short, as long as HAD has technological innovation, the old technology before will be given to these nobles.Anyway, the top technology is still in the hands of HAD, and he is not afraid that they will surpass Sheba City.

"Ta Tata..."

The appearance of HAD and others immediately quieted down the already noisy Zuixiaolou.

"..." HAD glanced around calmly, walked straight to the podium, looked at the nobles below, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It must be the first time you have seen me, here, welcome to Sheba City Your arrival."

· · · Flowers · · ·

"Your Excellency HAD's invitation is naturally coming." A nobleman immediately echoed.

"That's right, thanks to Your Excellency HAD, our Heishui City can develop so quickly." Xilan sat down and shouted loudly, with a look of admiration on his face.

"Those nobles who didn't receive the invitation, I'm afraid they will be very disappointed, hahaha..."

"..."

The nobles below praised HAD one by one, no one dared to say anything bad, not to mention that it was indeed the technology given by HAD that allowed their city to develop.

Among these people, HAD saw Viscount Jini, Hana, the lord of Chitu City, and Gambaf.

"I heard that some of the linen you produce have already started hoarding. I don't know who to sell to, right?" HAD propped his hands on the podium, and looked at the nobles below with black eyes.

... 0

"Yes, Your Excellency HAD, the linen we produce has been piled up in several warehouses, and I don't know who to sell it to."

"And our clay pots are already full..."

"And our..."

"..."

"Who else remembers what I said last time?" HAD looked at the nobles who were noisy again below, and said in a deep voice.

The nobles fell silent, thinking about what HAD said last time.

"His Excellency HAD said that for the goods we can't buy, you can help us introduce the channel." At this time, Xilan jumped out again to take the rhythm.

"Yes, I also remember His Excellency HAD said this."

"I remembered it too, it's like this."

"Your Excellency HAD, is this true?"

"..."

"That's right, Miss Xilan has a good memory." HAD praised Xilan, but only the two of them knew whether he really praised her for her good memory or something else.

"Thank you Your Excellency HAD for your compliment." Xi Lan had a smile on her face.

"That's right, that's what I said, and it can indeed help you sell the goods you have piled up in your hands." HAD nodded affirmatively.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"."

Chapter 843 channels represent money.

"Really, Your Excellency HAD is not joking, is he?"

"We have accumulated so much goods, who will HAD sell to us?"

"..."

HAD looked at the expressions of those nobles, some couldn't believe it, some were skeptical, only Xilan was convinced.

HAD had already said these words before, obviously these nobles didn't take it to heart.

"I said that as long as the quality is good, I will introduce channels for you." HAD glanced around and said in a deep voice, "But obviously you don't believe it."

After hearing HAD's words, all of these nobles felt embarrassed. Indeed, none of them took these words to heart.

"Now, I'll give you a chance. As long as the quality of the goods in your hands passes the standard, maybe you can sell them to me according to the market..." Seeing that no one spoke, HAD continued to speak.

"Really? Does His Excellency HAD want to buy our goods?"

"What do we need to pay?" Some nobles shouted suspiciously, always feeling that things "eight or nine" are not that simple.

"You don't need to pay anything at the moment, but I plan to set up an alliance chamber of commerce and I just want to invite everyone to join." HAD said calmly, and his voice was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Alliance Chamber of Commerce? What is that?" Viscount Gambaf asked loudly.

"Yes, what is the Alliance Chamber of Commerce?"

"Let me ask you first, what do you think of the building I built in Sheba City?" HAD asked all the nobles present.

"Very good, many people are almost unable to buy a house." A nobleman shouted loudly.

"It's great that such a building is clean and spacious, and the water is delivered directly to the home."

"Yeah, I want to buy a house, but unfortunately I don't have any..."

"..."

The nobles started discussing again, not knowing why HAD said this.

"Then, what do you guys think of the wine and various gourmet shops in Sheba City, okay?" The corners of HAD's mouth curled up, the groundwork had already been laid, and these words were meant to give people some confidence.

"The wine and food in Sheba City are the best in the world, there is no doubt..."

"What does Your Excellency HAD mean?" Some nobles became more and more confused.

"Since everyone here thinks that everything is good in Sheba City, are you optimistic about the future of Sheba City?" HAD said indifferently.

All the nobles nodded. If Sheba City can't do it in the future, who else can do it?Now I am afraid that the capital of the king is not as prosperous as Sheba City, less than half of it.

"I have already cooperated with the Aoli Dwarf Kingdom. They are willing to let us sell the goods to them. They are interested in the goods in Sheba City." HAD said calmly, "Aoli Dwarf Kingdom, how is it?" Kingdom, I believe you all know about it."

The nobles below were all taken aback. Of course they knew that the Aoli Dwarf Kingdom was closed but had a lot of iron mines. Except for some lucky small businessmen, the Aoli Dwarf Kingdom refused to cooperate with others, but once they could cooperate, they could make money. To many times coins.

"One year, Sheba City only needs to cooperate with Aoli Dwarf Kingdom for one year, at least it can bring me more than one million gold coins in income, do you believe it?" HAD said confidently.

"Believe!"

All the nobles basically answered this way, and they had to believe that they had witnessed how miraculous Sheba City is.

"This channel for cooperation with the Dwarf Kingdom, I believe it will only increase its share every year in the future, and only Sheba City has such a channel." HAD narrowed his black eyes and said in a deep voice, "Now there is an opportunity for you to participate ."

The nobles below did not speak, they were all waiting for HAD's next words.

"Now, I plan to sell 100 gold coins out of the channel's market value of 20 gold coins. One gold coin is one piece, starting from one hundred pieces." HAD propped up the podium with both hands, saying word by word.

Silent, confused, all the people present fell silent, because they still didn't understand what HAD said.

"Let me explain to you again." HAD looked at those dazed people and sighed.

He paused, then continued, "If you buy my share, no matter how much you buy, the coins you will earn through the Dwarf Kingdom channel in the future, for example, if you earn 150 million gold coins, the money you will earn from the share you bought , I will give you the proportion of what you get and what you earn, that is to say, it is equivalent to becoming a partner of Sheba City.

Of course, if the coins are not enough, goods can also be used as collateral. "

"Your Excellency HAD, what do you mean to say, if I buy a thousand copies, which is equivalent to a thousand gold coins, then the money I earn with the thousand gold coins will be distributed to me? Right? "Xilan jumped out at this time, pretending to be puzzled and asked.

"Yes, Miss Xilan understands very well." HAD nodded and said, "Every year, you can get a part of the gold coins you earn."

Hearing this, the rest of the people understood a little bit. It means that they contribute money, but they don't need to do anything. When the time comes, how much they earn with their money will be given to them. The more the chamber of commerce earns, the more it will get. .

"Then if you don't want this share in the future, can you refund it?" Viscount Gambaf frowned and asked loudly.

"Believe me, if you bought my share, no one will want to return it. If you don't want it anymore, you can sell it to those who want it, or sell it to me. I think there will be many people rushing to buy it. "HAD said calmly, with a look of confidence on his face.

The nobles began to hesitate. To be honest, they were not afraid that HAD would run away, unless he was stupid and wanted to covet such a little money from them despite the great future of Sheba City...

"Your Excellency HAD, I want a thousand copies." Xilan stood up without hesitation and shouted loudly.

"Yes, buying my share means that you have joined my chamber of commerce and become my partner. Miss Xilan's Blackwater City produces linen. As long as you are qualified, you can use the channel of the dwarf kingdom." HAD said with a light smile. .

Don't you need to think about the astonishment on the faces of other nobles?

Now these nobles understand what the Union Chamber of Commerce mentioned earlier means.

" Sheba City will open up the channel of the Yadian Kingdom in the future. The more you invest now, the more gold coins you will get in the future." HAD said with a chuckle.

In the future, the share will only increase, and how much you can earn depends on the future layout. Now HAD is using a channel to integrate the resources of the western land.

After the unification in the future, this chamber of commerce will become a 'state-owned enterprise', the nobles below will become a processing factory, and HAD will become a big capital, slowly embezzling some power.

"I trust Your Excellency HAD." Xi Lan nodded approvingly.

"Can you really get some gold coins? Is it reliable?" Someone wavered.

"Of course it is reliable. If His Excellency HAD is not reliable, who else is reliable?"

"Your Excellency HAD, I want to buy one hundred copies first, is that okay?" a nobleman shouted.

"Yes, as much as you want." HAD nodded.

"I want five hundred copies. Anyway, when the time comes, I don't want them anymore, and I can still sell them..."

"I want three thousand copies." Viscount Gambaf gritted his teeth and shouted. He decided to use the linen as collateral.

"..."

"Don't worry, everyone. On 4.9, a Sheba City Stock Exchange has opened next door to the Sheba City Bank. You just need to go there to buy shares." HAD pressed his hand to calm down the people present. .

After Xilan heard this, she was the first to rush out of Zuixiaolou and headed straight for the bank.

The corners of HAD's mouth twitched slightly as he watched from the podium, and he laughed inwardly, this Xilan is really good.

"A total of 20 copies, they will be gone when they are sold out." HAD shouted.

In fact, how much money the channel makes is controlled by HAD. He wants to exchange the resources of the land in the west for iron ore, and the profit he will get afterwards must be higher than a million gold coins.

Sometimes, the integration of one channel can make terrible profits.

And one channel can play a lot of tricks. HAD can change his name and open a chamber of commerce in other places.

Chapter 844 Can't lose. ()

"Ta Tata..."

HAD looked at the nobles rushing out with a relieved smile on his face. The so-called share is actually the stock on the earth.

And allowing them to use the goods as collateral is actually helping them dispose of the accumulated goods, and then sell them to the Aoli Dwarf Kingdom, which is equivalent to realizing cash.

"Master, it seems to be a success." Mina looked at the empty hall in front of her with a smile on her face.

"That's right, we'll wait for Darina and the others to come back." HAD chuckled lightly.

As soon as Darlene and the others come back, all these goods can be sold and replaced with iron ore, and the construction of Sheba City can begin.

...

Next to the bank in Sheba City, a new shop suddenly opened, called Sheba City Stock Exchange. The name is very strange. People passing by were a little curious and stopped to observe.

Some people also went in to have a look, and found that the furnishings inside were very simple25. It was an empty hall. On the left, there was a row of five counters, and there were people sitting behind each counter. The seats are full.

"The City Lord has opened a new store, but what kind of store is this?" Someone asked curiously, not daring to go in.

Because at the gate, there were four soldiers on duty, all with weapons in their hands, which was the same as the bank next door.

"You can look there, what is written there, can anyone know how to read?" Someone pointed to a wooden sign standing next to the gate of the Sheba City Stock Exchange.

" Sheba City has started cooperation with the Aoli Dwarf Kingdom... one gold coin, one hundred copies, a total of 20 copies, while stocks last." A literate person stepped forward and put the wooden sign on it. I read all the written words.

That's right, the content written on the wooden sign is the same as what HAD said to those nobles in Zuixiao Tower.

"I still don't quite understand what it means." The people's comprehension ability is limited, and some are a little confused. They only know that this one will cost one gold coin, and if you want to buy it, you must buy at least one hundred copies, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Tap Tap..."

On the road in front of the Sheba City Bank, a carriage parked steadily on the side of the road. Xilan got off the carriage and walked quickly to the Sheba City Stock Exchange next to the bank. After she came in, she went straight to there. Five counters away.

"Hello miss, are you here to buy shares?" the staff behind the counter asked with a smile.

"Yes, I want to buy a thousand copies, how do I get it?" Sheeran nodded and asked.

"Okay, fill in the information here, and finally sign and seal here, and press your fingerprint." The staff at the counter quickly took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Xilan.

This is a securities transaction contract, with carbon paper sandwiched between two sheets of paper, and it is a contract in duplicate.

Sheeran nodded, picked up a pen and quickly filled it in, and finally pressed her fingerprints on both sheets of paper.

"Okay." Sheeran handed the contract to the staff.

"Okay, may I ask if you want to mortgage the goods or pay directly with gold coins." After carefully checking the contract, the staff looked at Xilan with a smile on their faces.

"Half is mortgaged with goods, and half is paid with gold coins." Sheeran responded after thinking for a while.

"Okay, after delivering the equivalent amount of goods to Sheba City within ten days, the lady will come here to pick up the contract. If the payment cannot be completed after ten days, the thousand shares will be sold again and will no longer belong to the lady." Work The staff said seriously.

The contract is the certificate that can prove that you own the thousand shares.

Then the staff wrote a receipt with the official seal of Sheba City to Xilan. When the goods are delivered, someone will stamp another seal on the receipt, and then rely on this receipt to come here to receive the contract. up.

Sheeran nodded, holding the receipt and turning around thoughtfully, preparing to leave.

"Tap Tap..."

At this moment, there were many footsteps outside the door, and a group of people rushed in, the leader being Viscount Gambaf.

"Miss Hiran, have you bought it?" Viscount Gambaf saw Hiran at a glance and asked curiously.
