Transcendent Journey

From the “magic pocket”, Ivan took out the design drawings of the “Brigentin-type” brig mixed sailboat that would have been seen by far sailing carpenters and engineers sooner or later.

Slightly unfolded and placed it on the table in front of the two of them.

“Your Excellency Marquis, please take a look. Although the new design looks a bit like the existing brig, the maximum speed can easily break through eleven knots…”

Although not a full-time ship engineer, as the industry leader who dominates the new continent, countless marquis can easily see the superiority of this new design.

Although this kind of mixed sailboat is small in size and can’t carry a few large-caliber artillery, it is of little significance to the naval fleet in frontal naval warfare, but it can be said that it was born for privateing activities.

Because the long protruding bow and stern posts increase the effective length of the deck, and the unique V-shaped bottom design, it is different from most sailboats today.

Modification is too difficult, and the best choice is of course to rebuild a new ship.

It’s also the time when the shipyard under his own name shows its talents!

“Call—”

The Marquis breathed a sigh of relief, reluctantly lifting his eyes from the blueprint to the head, with undisguised approval in his eyes:

“haha, in small sailing ships, the limit of my imagination and ship performance may be like this.”

Hearing his this remark, Ivan thought you would say so, yes Because I haven’t taken out the blueprint of the “flying shear ship” that I have drawn.

But within a short time, Ivan was not ready to carry the “flying shears” to the sea.

If this kind of “flying shears”, which is mainly used as a merchant ship, is popularized all over the world, and the big guys who are hoping to rob and live, they will have to drink the northwest wind.

Currently, there is no pirate ship that can catch up, even if it is a large “flying shear ship” that can run 12-14 knots with full load, it is the king of speed in the sailing age!

Apart from this, even if the new “Brigentin Sailboat” is launched, Ivan does not worry that other competitors will snatch the prey belonging to the “Drakensberg Pirate Group”.

The speed of the pirate ship is a factor in the success of the raid, but the most difficult thing about the vast sea is actually how to find the merchant ship.

After entering the observer’s field of vision, trying to catch up with the opponent is nothing more than a question of how long it takes and whether they have the strength to gnaw the opponent down.

In terms of intelligence, at least Ivan is confident that his seabird network will not lose to any power!

But even though I thought so in my heart, Ivan’s face remained calm, and he accepted the marquis’s compliment very calmly.

Then tentatively said to the Marquis:

“If I authorize this kind of privateer patent to you, and then put it into mass production.

Not to mention Falitis, that is, the colonies of the entire Tulip Alliance will rush to buy it.

When the time comes, Yuanfanling is not a source of financial resources by relying on the most developed shipbuilding industry in the kingdom and the entire Tulip Alliance. Billowing?”

Ivan never thought that he tone barely fell, but the Marquis’s eyes suddenly shined because of the word “Finance Billowing”.

噌——

It’s not a shining light as described, but a Great Knight powerhouse who can interfere with reality of will. It really shoots two brilliant lights from the eyes.

If an ordinary person is sitting opposite him, it is possible to be fainted directly by the light of those two swords.

Ivan was slightly surprised when he saw the Marquis look like this.

Sitting on a powerful transcender with an area equivalent to mainland 1/4/2021, would you still care about money this thing so much?

I hesitated for a moment, and felt that it should not be too offensive, even more how I want to cooperate with the other party, of course, I have to understand the other party’s economic situation.

So cautiously asked the Marquis:

“Your Excellency, are you short of money?”

Marquis Yuanfan realized his lost self-control , He coughed twice and was about to answer.

“Ahem, I…”

Suddenly I got up and looked towards the window. Some curious about the other party’s unusual behavior, Ivan also quietly looked at it.

That was…a beautiful lady in a lake green dress.

A beautiful and dignified smile, she is taking two maids to take a leisurely stroll in the blooming garden of the castle.

Ivan feels a little kind of black long hair curled up high, wearing a silver headband inlaid with six emeralds, and then the same water droplets that match the eye color of the opponent Type earrings.

Apart from this, her neck, wrist, fingers, belt, and shoes have all kinds of precious gems and accessories.

However, these jewels do not have the vulgar atmosphere of those nouveau riche to show off their wealth. On the contrary, they are noble and elegant.

But in any case, it is indeed a bit unusual to wore that many jewellery while wandering around in my garden, so that Ivan couldn’t help issuing lightly exclaimed.

At this moment, as if feeling the eyes cast by the two, the lady looked up and looked towards the fifth floor.

After seeing the owner of the gaze, I even smiled nodded at Ivan before turning around and drifting away like a new leaf in spring.

After watching his wife go away, the Marquis sat down again and took a sip of his teacup like a drink.

Since Ivan has seen it, he has not concealed his financial embarrassment, lightly sighed:

“It’s not lacking, it’s very lacking!”

“Uh…”

But even if I saw it with my own eyes, Ivan would not naively think that the marquise who looked like unfathomable mystery just now would be a “Prodigal mother-in-law” who pursues luxury accessories with a real estate income.

Because he has confirmed that the owner of the castle-shaped wizard tower of Orange Leaf Castle is the “jeweled” marquise!

Although I have eaten a ditch and grew wise, I will no longer blindly turn on spirituality to visually explore the details of others without any certainty.

But with only a pair of naked eyes of the “alchemy school” wizard, he can also see the faint traces of witchcraft on the jewelry, which is dominated by gems of various colors.

Those gems are no longer simple jewelry, but some powerful witchcraft props. The marquise is obviously a powerful wizard who is very proficient in gem witchcraft!

Moreover.

At least far stronger than himself, and conservatively estimated that it should be an official wizard Peak, or even a high-level wizard like Princeton Principal.

Only the Marquis of Yuanfan and his wife have this kind of power and can stand firm within Sirius’ sphere of influence.

Of course, powerhouse has more say, and Ivan is also willing to maintain a good relationship with some of the profound mystery Amore family.

Even if possible, quietly explore the secrets of the “adventurer’s blood” in their family.

So, Ivan pondered for a moment and changed his original plan a bit, and then said to the Marquis who seemed to be really short of money:

“You should have also seen the Kingdom’s “Overlord Disqualification Plan, while we are implementing the 1st Step’Blood Loss Plan’, the 2nd Step’s’Trade War’ can actually be carried out simultaneously.”

“Indeed. For the wisdom and vision of the General, I and My staff are very impressed, and even the current development strategy of the territory has been deflected.”

People who can bring value to others are of course more popular. In this national strategy In addition, the Marquis would like to hear what Ivan has to say about making money.

“What do you think of this?

The two of us will bring together East Lundz, which belongs to the royal family, and set up a joint trading company. All 15-year patents of sailing boats and this batch of Anuma slaves have invested in shares.

Cooperate with your new continent’s first shipbuilding industry, manufacturing base, land, and personnel to re-integrate resources.

p>

The new company mainly carries out commercial smuggling activities, shipbuilding and shipping to the Sirius colony.

Even my privateer fleet can provide private escort services for merchant ships that are not limited to the company.”

In Ivan’s vision.

The Far Sailing collar, which has the most developed manufacturing industry and faces the colony of Sirius across the sea, is of course the main force in the current trade war.

Even because of the location advantage, the reaction speed of local businessmen is faster than that of local business people, and this smuggling activity has always existed before the adjustment of the macro strategy of the kingdom, which can be called a familiar road.

After all, the merchants in the Sirius colony are also very realistic. From an economic point of view, there is a more affordable supply of goods, why not?

It just so happens that the colleagues who come from the Sirius local trade triangle trade, bring more slaves, ivory and other more valuable things.

As for this kind of large-scale smuggling, they can’t feel the negative effect on the development of the country’s industry.

No one would care, including Philip II.

“United Trading Company?”

Not only is a powerful Great Knight, the Marquis Yuanfan is also an excellent governor. Of course he can see Ivan’s proposal Among the benefits.

The two cooperation can be called a powerful combination, enough to produce a wonderful qualitative change that one plus one is greater than two!

“Then what do you think should we use to open the colony or even the local market of Sirius in addition to producing this new type of privateer?”

Obviously this sentence is exported , The Marquis had agreed to Ivan’s business plan in his heart.

However, compared to Ivan’s current power, what he values ​​is obviously Ivan’s own vision.

Even the title has quietly changed unconsciously.

“Commodity? Of course it is cotton textiles!”

For the future development of the United Trading Company, Ivan doesn’t mind to say more, even more how he is just a theorist, planning There is still a vast distance between execution and execution.

But the Marquis has a large number of staff and retainers in his family, but they can solve this problem perfectly.

“We want to analyze the current steam industry development status of the Kingdom and Yuanfanling, and comprehensively consider various existing conditions…”

Although the kingdom’s current state of Wool weaving industry, even before the invention of the steam engine, about one-fifth of the country’s population was engaged in this industry.

But it is strictly controlled by government departments, and the old rules are also very tight.

The guild has made clear regulations on the length, width, folding, packaging, ingredients in the production process, printing and dyeing, elongation, fuzzing, finishing, etc. of each piece of wool.

In other words, the existing interest groups have seriously hindered the industrialization process of this industry and the joining of latecomers!

The production process of this industry has become rigid and stereotyped, and it has become a conservative, lifeless, and traditional production department.

Even in the Kingdom itself, the steam industry transformation corresponding to the wool weaving industry is also struggling, and there is no complete set of technologies that can be used.

The cotton textile industry is different, it is an emerging industrial sector. There are no clear rules and precepts in production, let alone traditional obstacles.

“Alchemy Light” is also the most mature for the manufacture of steam cotton spinning equipment.

Especially for Yuanfanling, which is not suitable for raising sheep, but on the cotton belt that runs across the new continent, there is sufficient cotton to supply.

Enough to serve as a pillar economic industry in the early colonies.

Then use the world-leading cotton textile industry as a starting point to accumulate wealth, and it may even cost more than robbery!

Follow closely from behind coal mining, metallurgy, mining, glass, shipbuilding and machinery manufacturing, etc., have caused chain reactions in various industrial sectors.

From light industry to heavy industry, from working machine to engine, mutually promote and promote each other, and finally form a complete system of machine production.

Through the east wind of the kingdom’s development, Yuanfanling has truly taken off!

pa! pa! pa! …

At the end, the Marquis couldn’t help but applaud. Ivan not only answered the question about his main product, but also aimed at the reality. The situation is the future development of Yuanfanling, and a brilliant broad and open road has been planned.

“Your Excellency, no, Ivan, I am suddenly enlightened after hearing your words!

In the future, we will be the closest partners. You must come to Orange Leaf Castle frequently. Be a guest.”

The marquis’s face seemed to have substantial brilliance to overflow, as if he had seen golden mountains beckoning to him.

If this youngster had not been the brigadier general of the kingdom, he must invite him to serve as his chief of staff. It would be a rare talent.

Stand up to hold Ivan’s right hand and shake it vigorously, cooperation is reached!

It is logical.

Afterwards, Ivan, together with the Marquis and his staff, drafted a draft for the establishment of the “Mercury United Trading Company”.

As long as the details are improved in the later stage, it can be directly registered and established in Yuanfanling. This group of staff members are the administrative staff of various departments in the colony, and the efficiency is of course fast.

In the draft, Ivan and Marquis Yuanfan each accounted for 40% of the shares in the new company, leaving 20% ​​for Donglunzhi who was not present at all.

It was originally for the royal family to take them to play together. Of course, they do not need to participate in the discussion about the internal regulations.

The name of the United Trading Company is derived from the impersonal God of commerce and wealth “Mercury” in the legend of the ancient sacred Lothar Empire. It was decided by the Marquis, which is regarded as the hope for the future of the company. .

“Brother Ivan, to the future of the company, cheers!”

“Cheers!”
