Yafei's new economic policy was implemented without incident, and it did not even attract many people's attention. But such a silent change made the money flowing in the market silently increase.
What ordinary people can notice is only a slight increase in the prices of the goods around them, especially those imported goods that seem to have a more obvious price increase, but the impact on their lives does not seem to be great, because when the prices of goods increase, they can earn
Wages seem to have increased as well.
Even ordinary people who pay attention to the prices of firewood, rice, oil, and salt every day would find it difficult to react to this kind of subtle adjustment, but all of this is actually increasing the financial revenue of the Gamma Empire, enough to make up for it in the last two months.
previous deficit.
Only those at the top of the empire who can take charge of everything can clearly see the changes. After Yafei saw the trend of future fiscal revenue, she finally felt relieved. The imminent problem was finally solved, and now she
It's time to solve Lan Nuo's problem.
"I have contacted the Alchemist Guild, and Elder Fa Ma promised to help me contact enough alchemists. I should be able to gather 300 low-level alchemists by the end of this month. Just prepare to start work at the end of this month."
Fa Ma once served as the president of the Alchemist Guild. At that time, Xiao Yan was just a newcomer who had just been promoted to the second-level alchemist. He won the Alchemist Competition with a fourth-level three-pattern Qingling Pill.
He won the championship of that alchemist competition.
However, the relationship between President Fa Ma and Xiao Yan has never been too close. This also made Heavenly Court not target the Alchemist Union too much during the liquidation process. However, Fa Ma still had to learn from his own president.
He retired from his position and now serves as an elder and nominally cut off all ties with the former Tianfu Alliance, but secretly he also secretly protected the members of the Tianfu Alliance for a period of time.
This time Yafei asked him for help, and he agreed happily. If it was to ask a fifth-grade alchemist or even a sixth-grade alchemist to take action, Fa Ma could only say that there was nothing he could do, unless he took action personally, but if it was just
If you want a low-level alchemist, the problem will be easier to solve. After all, there are actually a lot of first- and second-level alchemists. Many alchemists are limited by their talents and have been stuck in this realm their entire lives. Some of them are even gray-haired.
A first-grade alchemist.
Not many families are willing to support old people like this who have no talent or potential in the future. After all, those families provide alchemy as offerings. On the one hand, they are interested in their alchemy skills, and on the other hand, they are also interested in their future potential.
, once a second-grade alchemist is promoted to third-grade, the benefits of the family that serves him will be extremely huge. Correspondingly, if there is no potential for promotion, then his treatment in the major families will naturally decrease.
.
There are actually quite a few alchemists like this in the empire. For them, thirty thousand gold coins a month is already a pretty good salary. After all, they can only refine one grade of elixir, and the success rate is not that good.
It's not particularly high. The total value that can be created in one month is probably far less than 30,000 gold coins.
It's not that Lan Nuo doesn't want to offer higher wages to attract alchemists to join, it's just because he currently has limited funds on hand. Once the industrial alchemy is put into operation, the investment will be recovered quickly and he will start to make a profit.
, then you can offer more generous benefits to attract alchemists.
After finishing the matter of recruiting alchemists, Lan Nuo also returned to Stone Desert City without stopping. He needed to solve the pre-existing problems in the elixir production process as soon as possible and recruit a group of practitioners who specialized in refining the essence of medicinal materials in the company and the desert.
By.
There is no need to be very strong. If you have a fighting spirit of level seven or above and the ability to release flames from the medicine cauldron, you are basically qualified.
There are already many such people in Shimo City. After all, a large number of people here have undergone meridian transplant surgeries. Although their talents for improvement are limited, after these years of practice, many people have touched the Dou Zhe's.
Threshold, this achievement can already participate in the refining of medicinal materials.
Lannuo is also urgently refining a container to protect the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials from being lost. The initial capacity of the container is one cubic meter. Although under this capacity, the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials will still be lost to a considerable extent. But compared to a
If the essence of medicinal materials is stored separately, the rate of loss of medicinal properties is already insignificant.
As for the container itself, it doesn't look much different from an ordinary chemical reactor. The biggest difference is that there is a layer of coating inside, which is coated with specially refined elixirs, which can greatly isolate the medicinal properties.
Loss, coatings like this are more profitable when used on larger containers.
The current production scale can only be considered a small profit. If more than a thousand alchemists join the system, it can barely be considered a big profit.
In addition to refining the essence of medicinal materials, there are also some people who are responsible for completing the final step of condensing the elixir after the medicinal materials are condensed into the prototype of the elixir. The requirements of this group of people are relatively demanding. Although they are not necessarily alchemists, their own soul power
It must be strong enough.
This requirement is relatively harsh. People with strong soul power are difficult to find. Even if the soul power required for a first-grade elixir is not too strong, it generally requires a Dou Master level soul power, and it also requires fire.
Attributes, but the requirements are ultimately much lower than those of an alchemist.
Some employees who have undergone surgery and have gathered self-discipline practice after the surgery can barely meet the requirements. If you give them more time to grow, more people will be able to meet the requirements.
In the future, low-level practitioners and low-level alchemists will depreciate in value. After all, through surgery, the number of practitioners at the Dou Zhe and Dou Master levels will increase dramatically in the future.
As the number of practitioners increases dramatically, the number of alchemists will also increase. After all, the talents of alchemists are purely random. Even among the eight ancient families, the distribution of the five attributes is relatively even.
The probability of giving birth to a child with the wood attribute in fire is also not much higher than the probability of being born among ordinary people.
And when countless people have become practitioners, even if one person in a thousand people has the talent of an alchemist, it is enough to give birth to a large number of low-level alchemists. I am afraid that the price of basic elixirs will not be long before
It will be completely defeated, but that is all in the future. At least for now, even the price of a first-class elixir is still quite expensive, and it will take an ordinary person several years of savings to afford it.
As Lan Nuo returned to his headquarters in the desert, a large number of alchemists also arrived one after another, and signed contracts with them. They will obey the arrangements, but will not perform any life-threatening tasks. At most, they will do so every day.
I only work eight hours, and that's because the salary is high enough.
Under normal circumstances, the production speed of a hundred pharmacists is enough to compete with the volatilization speed of the medicine in a one cubic meter storage tank, achieving the effect of making money.
But one problem that must be taken into consideration is that during the interruption period of medicine refining, the essence of the medicine will also be continuously lost.
Therefore, Lannuo needs a full three hundred alchemists, working in three shifts, so that the refining is not interrupted, and there is no problem of losing the essence of the medicine when it stops.
…
Zhang Hongyu is 50 years old this year, but he is still a first-grade alchemist. Before he came to the Tagore Desert, he had always been a worshiper of a small family. However, at such an age, he was still a fighter and could only practice
To produce a first-grade elixir, even if you are very skilled in refining several first-grade elixirs, the success rate is already quite high. As your age increases, the treatment you receive becomes lower and lower. Some time ago, it was reduced to every person.
Less than five thousand gold coins per month.
This finally became unbearable for him, so he chose to take the risk and change jobs. Attracted by the salary of 30,000 gold coins, he came to the Tager Desert.
However, after seeing the huge number of alchemists who came here, and even a small number of second-grade alchemists among them, Zhang Hongyu couldn't help but feel guilty. Although he was very proficient in refining first-grade elixirs, the limit of his ability was also
It's just a first-class elixir.
Faced with competition from so many alchemists who were better than himself, he felt that he might not be qualified for the job, and would soon be fired because he couldn't keep up with his colleagues, and would not be able to get that high salary.
At that time, whether any family is willing to pay five thousand gold coins to hire him is probably a different matter.
"It's all because I was so ruthless when I left my old employer. Now I can't go back even if I'm not qualified for the job. I hope my job won't be too difficult."
On the second day after arriving in the desert, he was taken to his job by a local third-grade alchemist: "Here you get familiar with the equipment you need to use next. It will take about a week to officially
Work has started. The equipment needed to refine elixirs here is different from ordinary alchemy furnaces. It is more functional than the elixir furnace, but it is also more complicated to use. Once you are familiar with the functions, you will find that you can use them to refine elixirs.
The efficiency will be much faster than the alchemy furnace."
Zhang Hongyu looked intently and saw that the operating table in front of him was filled with various funnels, conical flasks, condenser tubes, and a series of equipment whose functions he could not understand.
The third-grade alchemist explained to him the use of these devices in detail.
Fortunately for him, these incomprehensible devices are very simple to use and are operated by fools. They are much easier to control than medicine cauldrons. He even had an illusion: "If I become proficient in such a set of equipment,
I can even challenge the refining of the second-grade elixir by using it, and then dismantling the prescription of the second-grade elixir into more complicated steps."
"What should I do next? Use this equipment to refine a first-grade elixir?"
The third-level alchemist shook his head: "No one here needs to be responsible for refining the entire elixir, you only need to be responsible for part of it. I see that your process should be responsible for refining the No. 3 spiritual liquid, which belongs to the first-level.
This is a relatively simple spiritual liquid. After all, considering your alchemist level, it is impossible to assign you too difficult tasks. This is the refining method. As long as you open the faucet of the tubes in front of you, the corresponding medicinal materials can flow out.
Essence, you only need to use soul power and these devices to fuse the corresponding essences of several medicines together, and the task is completed.
You can try to operate it now. We have prepared some medicinal essences in advance. If you can successfully fuse them, you can repeat the corresponding operations several times during this period to continuously improve your efficiency.
Our performance-based salary ratio is still very high. If you want to get our bonus, you have to increase the total amount of spiritual liquid you produce every day."
Zhang Hongyu nodded. He had long wanted to try out how to operate a new job. Being able to adapt to the position before other colleagues should also reduce the probability of being eliminated.
And when he heard the other party describe in detail the steps he needed to perform, he was suddenly stunned. It was not because the steps he needed to perform were too difficult, but because these steps were too simple. Let alone a formal first-grade alchemist.
, even some alchemist apprentices are capable of completing such a simple task.
However, he was a little relieved when he thought about having to perform this kind of repetitive work at high intensity for eight hours a day. The alchemist apprentice was unable to handle this intensity of work, and no apprentice would take away his job.
When he actually came to his job, he was a little confused at first, but after trying it two or three times, he became familiar with the operation, and then he streamlined his redundant actions over and over again to speed up the refining process.
He is the best at this aspect. After all, the elixirs he is good at refining are among the first-grade elixirs with poor effectiveness and low cost performance. He can only choose to win by quantity. For repeated refining,
He is very proficient in preparing the same medicine, and he also knows how to improve his efficiency.
After trying for a moment, he was able to reduce the time it took him to complete a refining process to less than three minutes.
Seeing this scene, the third-grade alchemist nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you are very adaptable to your current job. There are many alchemists who are given standardized alchemy work, but they always want to innovate in their work.
, the quality of the refined medicinal solution is indeed high, but it is completely non-standardized, making it impossible for the alchemists who took over their process to start. If I had to say that they were really so talented, they would not still be stuck at the first and second grades.
At the same level, you should work as required when working, and use the money you earn to innovate and practice technology during vacations and leisure time. Doing this while working will only cause trouble to others."
Zhang Hongyu didn't quite understand what he said, but he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he met the requirements of the new job.
"Giving me such a simple job, but paying such a high salary, such a sect must not close down!" He thought in his heart, but he didn't know how terrible value he could create every day.
