Chapter 124 The Fury of the Republic of Frocana 3406

Mrs. Alice tried hard to suppress her excitement, walked forward, and inspected these cast iron ingots carefully.

The blacksmith guild of Parvega has its own methods and tips for judging the quality of iron ingots. Iveta saw them surrounding the iron ingots, hitting the iron ingots with a small copper hammer, and listening carefully to the sound of the iron ingots.

Every time they knocked, the expressions on the faces of these five people became more excited.

In order to prevent accidents, Mrs. Alice even entered the carriage again, picked out a cast iron ingot from the bottom of the basket, and took it out to continue their testing.

Finally, the five people looked at each other, and there was a strange silence.

Mrs. Alice took the initiative to speak. "Iveta, your supply of goods is unexpectedly excellent. You will get praise wherever you get it. It is our luck that you came to us to cooperate. I feel sorry for the person we detained before."

Apologize."

"These are indeed cast iron. A hundred pounds of ordinary pig iron is worth 3 shillings, and a hundred pounds of wrought iron is worth 5 shillings."

"Iron that has been forged and quenched once is worth 6 shillings, iron that has been forged twice is worth 8 shillings, and iron that has been forged three times is worth 10 shillings. However, the latter prices are all priceless, and the source of high-quality iron has always been.

It’s relatively scarce.”

Iveta waved her hand. "The Lord is responsible for seizing my people and goods. It is none of your business."

Ivita took out the one-handed cast iron sword from the carriage, walked to Mr. Holman's side, and took away the wrought iron sword he carried with him.

Although Mr. Holman didn't understand, he didn't say anything because of Ivita's identity.

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Ivita raised two swords and struck them together at the same time.

There was a buzzing sound of collision in the air. The cast-iron sword in Ivita's hand was intact, but the wrought-iron sword he held in his right hand had a huge hole.

Ivita handed the cast iron sword to Mr. Holman. "I'm sorry for breaking your sword. This sword is my compensation for you."

Mr. Holman bent down and held the sword in both hands, "There is no need for your Lord Baron to care about trivial matters."

He smiled.

He is a businessman, and businessmen value profit the most. A cast iron sword is much more expensive than a wrought iron sword.

Not to mention the endless supply of cast iron swords.

Ivita turned around and said to everyone:

"I think now everyone should have a more intuitive understanding of weapons made of cast iron."

"That's how great its performance is."

"Everyone imagine, if our guild produces swords like this on a large scale for a long time, how much benefit will it bring to Palvega?"

Mrs. Alice's eyes lit up. "This will become a symbol of Palvega's quality."

"It can drive [Palvega]'s sales of weapons made of other materials, and even sales in other industries."

The rest of the group also discussed it.

"The war is coming, and then Ambrose's shortage of high-quality weapons will be even greater. I seem to see the rise of Palvega. Our city will become richer, even more than the cities before us.

Become the fifth largest city and the fourth largest city!"

"If Palvega can really continue to produce this kind of weapons on the battlefield, then we will also expand rapidly in other industries. Perhaps we can become, besides Ambrose City, the largest city in the Ambrose Plains

.You must never forget the damage the war has done to the urban economy."

"The economic scale of other cities will shrink because of the war, but we can make a fortune during the war."

These Xingdongs are actually already thinking about how to surpass other cities when the intensity of the war increases.

As the city expands, their business can expand.

The upper limit of guilds in each city is determined by the upper limit of the city.

Mrs. Alice considered it for a moment, then turned to Ivita, who had remained silent and allowed them to discuss, she stretched out her left hand, opened her palm, and said: "In that case, let's set the price like this, plus your transportation cost and labor.

Including the cost, the price of cast iron should be ten times that of wrought iron."

"The prerequisite is that all the cast iron must be sold to us."

The merchants' eyes flickered. Is the price so high?

But it's also very reasonable.

This contains monopoly money.

After hearing this, Ivita thought about it and realized that the price of a hundred pounds of cast iron was 2 gold pounds plus 10 shillings.

The price is probably in line with my expectations.

But when it comes to monopoly, he is not very acceptable.

"I can only guarantee that I will only sell to you under the premise of existing production." Ivita said.

Before Alice spoke, he said: "If you can eat all the produce in our territory, of course I can keep selling it to you."

"But if I can't afford it, I will look for other cities that can afford it."

Ivita said: "But I will try to avoid Palvega's competitors and nearby cities and territories."

"That's it."

Mrs. Alice laughed. "Of course."

"Then we can buy this cart of cast iron."

The cast iron weight of the carriage Iveta brought was about 1,200 kilograms, and the approximate weight calculated by Lady Alice using a scale was about the same.

So she paid Ivita 30 gold pounds.

Watching the shining gold coins enter a small pocket, the impact of each gold coin is so clear and sweet.

Iveta happily took the purse and said, "Mrs. Alice, you told me before that you would give me one hundred gold pounds as a reward."

"Well, I promised you this kind of thing before on the street. In addition, because of the mayor's promise to you, you don't need to pay commodity transaction tax and transit tax. In the future, you will come to us to sell things.

You can take back as much money as you want, without any taxes." Alice was full of smiles and took out a money bag she had prepared and handed it to Ivita. "I need to make an inventory. After you leave here,

I am not responsible."

She said to Ivita slightly jokingly.

Ivita shook her head. "No need."

"Your reputation is worth much more than a few gold coins."

He believed that Mrs. Alice would not do such a thing to him.

How stupid a person must be to play tricks on something like this.

For a big businessman like Mrs. Alice, the most important thing is not money, but reputation.

Reputation can be exchanged for money.

Mrs. Alice joked: "How regretful the mayor would be if he knew what a huge deal he gave up."

"Well, I will gradually increase the production of cast iron in the future." Ivita said.

The existing blast furnace should be able to produce twelve carriages of cast iron per month, which means it can earn 360 gold pounds.

Originally, the barony only received about 700 gold pounds per year.

In the future, the cast iron business in the territory is expected to bring in around 4,320 gold pounds per year.

This income has exceeded the income of many ordinary viscounts from their territories.

In the past, the barony could only engage in the low-end business of mining iron ore, so most of its income had been squeezed. Iron ore was not valuable, even worse than the worst iron material - pig iron.

Because iron ore is essentially just excavated stone, it needs to go through many processes before it can be turned into iron.

Ivita suddenly thought of something and said to Alice: "I would like to ask, do you have a mirror worth a hundred gold pounds?"

Mr. Holman's eyes widened. "A mirror worth one hundred gold pounds? Baron, do you want the queen's dressing mirror?"

This is not the case.

It's just that the spiritual mirror divination requires such an expensive mirror.

Ivita said to Mrs. Alice: "I need the best mirror that really meets the price, rather than a mirror that temporarily increases the price just for me. Madam, do you have any relevant recommendations?"

Mrs. Alice frowned and thought carefully. "As far as I know, Palvega cannot be so expensive."

"Even if someone really sells it at such a high price, it is mostly out of the intention of refusing others to buy it, or to make things difficult."

"It's not that the seller thinks that this mirror is really worth so much money."

"For one hundred gold pounds, with good luck, it is possible to buy a small village."

“What a luxury.”

Mrs. Alice shook her head and smiled bitterly. "There is no such mirror in Palvega."

Ivita also became distressed.
