Chapter 110 Happy Cooperation

Chapter 110 Happy Cooperation

After more than an hour of pleasant cooperation, Luo Ning and others returned to Wushan Fortress.

Not knowing what they were discussing, Lulans and the others were looking at the curved plow that had been unpacked and carried back. The shape of this plow was completely different from the plows used in various manors. At first glance, it seemed to be lighter and more flexible.

There was still mud on the plow blade; it had just been used.

Rulans looked at Albert, who looked like he had something to say since he entered the fortress.

"Go ahead, PC."

Albert was a little excited. "My Lord Marquis, the baron who invented the curved plow, is a genius. I never thought a plow could bring such a big change to farmers' farming!"

The political officer excitedly held up three fingers.

"First, it is light and flexible and can be perfectly operated by just one person and one cow!"

"Secondly, it can adjust the tillage depth to adapt to various terrains. My God, this ability is amazing!"

Albert's expression was exaggerated. "Most importantly, it can plow deeply and turn the soil over completely, which is very helpful in increasing grain production!"

"My Lord Marquis, Sir Toru, our territory and estate need a plow like this!"

"With it, it will be easier for us to cultivate the fields, and the grain yield will increase, which will bring great value!"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if the political officer had overreacted. Even though the Marquis led the matter, there was no need to be so exaggerated, right?

"Is it really that amazing?"

"It's really that amazing!"

Financial Officer Curry agreed, saying he would have gone along if the transaction had not involved finances; otherwise, he would have missed the demonstration of using the curved plow.

"Albert found experts in tilling the land. They all came to these conclusions after becoming familiar with the curved plow."

Everyone looked at Roning in surprise, only to see him spreading his hands as if to say this was the fact.

Toru squatted beside the curved plow and looked at it. Although he was not a baron yet, he had several large estates outside, and cultivating them was a problem.

"Baron, how are you going to sell this thing? I'll order 100 first!"

Political officer Albert suggested to Rulans: "Sir, if necessary, we can order one thousand tickets first!"

Rulans nodded.

He was not very interested in these things, but he also knew the importance of arable land and food to a lord.

The civil servant and the financial officer are both veterans and since both said it was useful, it should not be bad, so he bought a batch.

When Albert saw that Rulans agreed, he immediately said to Roning: "Baron, then we need one thousand sheets, and it would be best if they were shipped here before the spring plowing!"

Luo Ning couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Everyone, you seem to have forgotten that I am just a small lord in a remote area. I lack manpower and iron ore to make many curved plows. Moreover, the ones I made are insufficient for Shanlin Town to use. Where can I get extra plows to sell?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they remembered the situation in Roning's territory.

Albert asked, "So, are you ready?"

"I can sell you the blueprints for making the curved plow and provide you with technical support."

Luo Ning told them his plan: "You can send carpenters and blacksmiths to my territory to visit and learn. I will have my craftsmen teach them how to make it."

"Of course, if your craftsmen are smart enough, they can make it completely according to the drawings."

The curved plow is more advanced but does not have very high technical barriers.

Roning only needs to sell one. He believes that imitations will soon appear. If he sells it again at that time, he will only make a small profit on the cost price.

And what he said was true. Shanlin Town could not produce so much.

Treasurer Curry smelled money. "You mean to sell this invention to Wushanbao?"

"Yes, Wushanbao paid a lump sum to buy it out."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "As for how Mr. Curry will do it, that's your business. It has nothing to do with me."

Curry's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Then I wonder how much you will sell this curved plow for?"

Luo Ning held up three fingers: "Three thousand gold coins!"

Hiss~

Everyone looked sideways when they heard the price.

This is not thirty gold coins, nor three hundred gold coins, but three thousand gold coins!

"This...this is too expensive!"

Galil was shocked to discover that he had seen the least money among the group (except Ronin and his men).

Even Lulans couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This amount of money was enough for him to buy ten high-quality war horses.

Luo Ning smiled and said, "I believe that with Wushanbao's treasurer's ability, it should not be difficult to earn back these 3,000 gold coins."

It was too troublesome for Roning to make money in a steady stream.

There were no caravans in Shanlin Town, and he couldn't go to various noble territories to sell and advertise like a businessman.

So, he chose the buyout option.

Wushanbao is different from him. It has a financial officer, a caravan, and a salesman. It can sell the curved plow to various lords before it becomes popular.

Even if each lord is sold for 300 gold, as long as ten lords are willing to buy, the profit can be recouped.

Of course, not all lords are willing to spend this money, and not all lords have iron mines and blacksmiths and want to make them themselves.

These people can also buy finished curved plows from outside. Roning is not concerned about setting the price at that time.

However, Ronin is not worried that there will be no market for his plows when he wants to sell them one day.

He was confident he could replicate the blast furnace ironmaking technology through sufficient experiments and attempts. By then, he could use pig iron to cast farm tools and combine it with softening technology to quickly produce plowshares, greatly saving the cost of manufacturing curved plows.

At that time, the curved plow launched by Roning could open up the market at a lower price.

Financial Officer Curry glanced at Lu Lans and found that the latter had no objection. He smiled and bowed slightly to Roning, and said modestly:

"Thank you for your compliment; your proposed price is acceptable."

Toru patted the dirt he had just removed from the plow blade and stared at the treasurer with a vigilant look on his face. "What should I do? Curry, you won't sell this technology to me for three thousand gold coins, right?"

"Hahaha, of course not..."

Curry smiled and said, "If Sir Toru needs it, you can buy the finished product from Wushan Castle. We will sell it to you at a preferential price. But before I sell the curved plow to other nobles, please keep this matter confidential."

He looked at Roning. Most of the information he knew about the baron was negative, and he was worried that he would sell him a second time.

"This is natural; please trust my credit!"

At this time, Galil stepped forward and said, "I have just discussed with the Marquis and my father. We need 120 ironwood shields, 200 ironwood spears, 50 chest guards, and 30 armors. After we go back today, Quartermaster Dawson will formally submit our order."

From the data, Roning knew these were prepared for a standard knight team. The quantity seemed large, but a careful calculation did not guarantee that each person would have one.

I think Galil prepared these things more for the use of squire knights and infantrymen. Regular knights could only use iron armor at most, and the demand for other things was low.

"It's a pleasure to work with you!"

Luo Ning couldn't help but smile and walk forward to shake the other person's hand. "I believe this batch of goods will not disappoint you."

This trip to Wushanbao can be said to be fruitful.

For Roning, now that he has the order, the next thing he has to worry about is how to complete it.

Only two carpenters, William and Murta, are in the iron and wood workshop, and they haven't even recruited a few apprentices yet. Completing this order quickly is not difficult; it is quite difficult.

Lu Lans' voice interrupted Luo Ning's melancholy. He reminded him, "Luo Ning, Wushan Fort is still far from Shanlin Town. If you have any goods to sell, you can go to Muma City to find Viscount Marvin."

"The Ironhoof family's caravans are spread across Wushan Territory and most cities in the kingdom. If your price is reasonable, I think Marvin will be interested."

"I see!"

Luo Ning pondered and nodded slowly.

"grown-ups!"

Financial Officer Curry said, "Although Shanlin Town is far away, it only takes a day to travel by carrier bird. If Baron still has such business, you can use Carrier Bird to send a message. I will bring my men to Shanlin Town to discuss it in person."

"Hahaha~"

Lu Lan Si laughed, "You, old man, are still the same as before; you will go wherever you smell the smell of money."

Curry chuckled. If Muma City could make money, why couldn't he make it?

Moreover, was the old marquis reminding Roning to discuss cooperation with Viscount Marvin? That was not the case.

So, what Curry just said also has two meanings.

"But speaking of the carrier pigeon, you did remind me."

Lu Lans turned to Luo Ning again and smiled: "After we return this time, let the bird trainer from Wushan Fort go to Shanlin Town with us to build a bird path between the two places. Otherwise, I want to write a letter to Luo Ning and ask Muma City to forward it."

Luo Ning's eyes lit up. This is a good idea.

After killing Princet, he was worried that Lord Sean would launch a surprise attack. At that time, he thought it would be great to have a carrier bird. Being able to pass on the message in time would also deter Baron Rayson.

"In that case, thank you very much, Grandpa!"
