15% sulfur powder, 15% charcoal powder, 50% saltpeter powder, 10% fire crystal powder, 5% rosin powder, 5% starch, plus egg white Stir evenly, put it into a mold and press it into shape, pour it out and let it dry to become a cylindrical gunpowder for a dwarf musket.
Lorist took Schwader to the public library of Morente City, and only spent a large silver coin to get the librarian to find him the document that Professor Bob of the Morning Star Academy cracked the dwarven gunpowder formula last year. Morente Journal.
Interestingly, after cracking the secret recipe of dwarf gunpowder, Professor Bob claimed that he found that the performance of dwarf gunpowder still has a great possibility of improvement. experimenting.
The reporter of Morente Daily specifically interviewed the dwarves who had just opened the store for less than a month, but these dwarves claimed that the formula for launching gunpowder was finally handed down by their ancestors after thousands of years of exploration, and it was the most perfect formula. , no changes are required. As for Professor Bob’s claim to improve the performance of gunpowder, in the eyes of the dwarves, they just want to take the opportunity to obtain from the dwarves the saltpeter ore that is not available in the human world for experimentation. The dwarves have only one answer to this intention. Word: Get out!
Lorist was a little ashamed, he still wanted to keep the gunpowder a secret, but who knew he had been working behind closed doors. So many learned professors in so many colleges in Morente City have already cracked the secret of gunpowder. Fortunately, the saltpeter ore used by the dwarves was dug from the ground, and those professors didn't realize that the saltpeter ore used to tan leather could replace the saltpeter ore.
In the previous life, the gunpowder in ancient China was discovered by those alchemists after hundreds of years of experiments, and the gallenteian bachelors did not realize that the white crystal-shaped Glauber's salt that grows in the corner next to the toilet is gunpowder One of the ingredients, they only know that collecting this kind of thing can make bitter-salty water, which can be used instead of salt water to tan leather. This should be regarded as Lorist's luck, which would allow him to produce better black powder than the dwarves' propellant powder.
"Shward, you will bring two literate guards to this library tomorrow, read the newspapers and academic articles published in previous years, and if you think it is valuable, record it and give it to me, the family continues The focus is on navigation and territorial development, please pay attention to this situation." Lorist said to his students.
"Okay, teacher, I will pay attention." Schwader is also very happy, he likes to read books and newspapers.
After finishing the gunpowder formula, Lorist returned to the Red Crow Tavern in a happy mood, and it was time to get down to business.
Josk brought four guards to stay in the Red Crow Tavern to guard the one hundred thousand goldfords.
El was getting drunk every day by his former club brothers.
Dolles went to Chenxi Academy to show off to old students, and he also came back drunk every day.
Lorist thought about it, and it was time for him to visit those old friends.
In the next few days, Lorist was very busy, taking two guards out early and returning late, the focus was on the professors and professors he knew from Dawn Academy, as well as Dean Levins and the couple of Great Swordsman Crude. Seven years have passed, and the Dawn Academy also feels that things are different. Some of the teachers Lorist knew have left the Dawn Academy, but the Lorist standing in front of the academy's swordsmanship club challenged the silver masters with a black iron rank The bronze commemorative statue of Sanqiansheng is still so majestic, it has even become a legend in Chenxi Academy.
Dean Levins was also much older, and the gift Lorist brought him was a complete fur of a devil tiger, which was very good for the old dean's legs and feet suffering from rheumatic paralysis. As for Crude Great Swordsman, he was hit hard. Full of confidence, he insisted on pointing out Lorist's swordsmanship, and he didn't make a hundred moves under Lorist's sword...
Dolles brought a message to Lorist. Some veteran students of Dawn Academy envied his experience, and hoped that he would join the Norton family like the first batch of veteran students who followed Lorist to the north.
Lorist thought about it and decided to make a move, but he had to clarify the risks first. The family needed talents, and these old students of Dawn Academy knew everything, and they were his best team members. Since they were interested, how could he refuse
With Lorist's permission, Dolles happily swung his hoe and wantonly dug up the corner of the Dawn Academy. For seven years, the old students who had met Lorist and the others were still the backbone of the teaching at Dawn Academy. If they had defected to Lorist, then Dean Levins would have a headache facing the teaching shortage.
Lorist went to visit Mr. Tim again. The Viscounts of Turnbury lived in a four-story Gothic building not far from the college area. The Peterson Chamber of Commerce helped them buy this house. They did a lot of help, so that they bought a building worth four or five thousand for only three thousand gold dollars.
The Viscount Taberley and his wife were very pleasantly surprised by Lorist's arrival. Both of them were very grateful to Lorist. One was rescued from disaster by Lorist from Earl Cobili's lair, and the other was rescued by Lorist. Special support to become the heir of the official Viscount Taberley, and arranged for them to become a couple. Judging from the current situation, their life is very happy, and it can be regarded as the end of hardship.
Mr. Tim is now a well-known nobleman in the upper class of Morente City. He sighed to Lorist that he was envious before he became a nobleman. Communication is really tiring, and he feels that nobles are actually very hypocritical creatures.
Lorist laughed out loud, amused by Mr. Tim. During the chat, Mr. Tim revealed a very important message, that is, the Ford Business Alliance is likely to restore the Lordship system. It's just that their titles will be conferred in the name of the parliament, unlike Lorist and the others who receive the canonization of the royal family.
Lorist also informed Mr. Tim that he and the Peterson Chamber of Commerce had decided to use the Viscounty of Taberley as the place of transaction between the two parties. Of course, the taxes and fees that should be paid would also be paid. Mr. Tim expressed that he was very happy and glad to be able to help Lorist, and he would order the old Kemmers knight who stayed behind at the manor castle of the Viscount of Taberley to give him great assistance.
After returning to the Red Crow Tavern, Lorist found Al and his brother Ledos waiting for his arrival. Since El left home to become Lorist's family knight, Ledos has become the leader of the society. He is more reliable than El. In just seven years, Ledos' society has become the leader of Morente City. The largest community organization has privately controlled half of the blocks in Morente City, and nearly 4,000 people follow him to make a living.
Ledos brought more than fifty gold dollar coupons with a face value of one hundred gold fords to Lorist. Lorist looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what this meant. El explained next to him that this was the seven-year rental income of the building that Lorist previously bought on Rose Avenue. . The more than 5,000 Jinford is the rent share.
It was only then that Lorist remembered that he had bought a building back then. Later, when he was short of funds when traveling north, he mortgaged him to El to borrow five thousand gold fords, but the debt had already been paid off on the way north. . I thought I spent five thousand and four thousand to buy a building back then, but I didn't expect to get back the capital in just seven years.
Ledos smiled and replied that it was mainly due to the high housing prices in Morente City in recent years, and even the rent has doubled several times, which is why there are so many rental income. But this time he came to see Lorist not only to give rent, but also to take over from Lorist the business of dried bacon, marinated whale meat and snow salt.
Ledos smiled wryly and said that there was no other way, since there are too many people living with him now, he had to try his best to make money. Now his community organization has opened small grocery stores in half of the blocks under his control, so these goods of Lorist happen to be sold in his store.
Lorist readily agreed to Ledos' request, but he also wanted Ledos to do two favors. One was to learn about the personal situation of Professor Bob of the Morning Star Academy. Lorist wanted to crack this dwarf gunpowder The professor of the formula was recruited to conduct experiments on the configuration of gunpowder for himself. Another one is to ask Ledos's associations to pay attention to whether there are talents who are talented but have no ambitions. Lorist found that the family is in great need of talents in various fields at present, and the more the better.
After reaching an agreement with Ledos, Lorist plans to go to Trimble Kingdom, which is rich in glass. Fatty Shi’s father opened a glass consignment business there, and Lorist plans to hand over all the glass the family needs to Fatty Shi. His father purchased it on his behalf, no matter what, he was considered one of his own, not to mention there was a letter from Fatty Shi to his father that had to be delivered.
Fatty Shi's father is a successful businessman, and it is said that his business firm also has the shares of the Trimble royal family, so he has received a lot of care in glass consignment. He was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Lorist and others. As Fatty Shi himself said, his father dreamed of becoming a territorial nobleman, so when he treated real territorial noblemen, his attitude was not ordinary respect.
"Uncle, you don't have to be so polite, really. Although Shredder is a knight of my family, he is also my friend and partner. You are his father, and also my elder. You can just greet the servants for such trivial matters, You don't need to do it yourself, you must know that if you do this, I will be very confused..." Lorist was a little bit dumbfounded.
After reading Fatty Shi's letter and knowing that Lorist is not only a true territorial nobleman, but also the head lord of his son, Fatty Shi's father treated Lorist and others with great care. Especially when Lorist told him about Fatty Shi, he said with certainty that in three years, when Fatty Shi had served the family for ten years, his contribution to the family would be enough to win the title of Baron and a territory. Fatty Shi's father burst into tears and was inexplicably grateful.
From that day on, Lorist realized that he was treated better. Even such trivial matters as serving tea and water were served by Fatty Shi's father himself, instead of the usual servants and servants. This made Lorist flattered. I also felt deeply uncomfortable, so I decided to finish my work early and leave.
Fatty Shi's father slapped his chest on all kinds of glass products needed for the family's territory. He had everything he needed, and he would never delay anything. He didn't even need Lorist to pay a copper coin as a deposit. However, Lorist rejected the offer. Although Fatty Shi's father was a successful businessman and rich man, a deal worth 20,000 goldfords was not a small amount. If something went wrong, it would drag down Fatty Shi's family, so Loris I especially think that public is public and private is private, and how to trade should be handled according to normal steps.
Fatty Shi wrote a letter to his father two years ago, asking his father to find out what raw materials are usually purchased by the production base of glass manufacturing? This was Lorist's idea after failing to experiment with making glass in the family territory. However, in the past two years, Fatty Shi's father did not make any progress or discoveries, because the protection policy adopted by Trimble Kingdom for glass manufacturing is extremely strict and cautious, whether it is incoming or outgoing materials, they are all top secret.
However, Fatty Shi's father recommended a person to Lorist, a technician who had worked in the glass production base for thirty-two years. This technician named Mancheni inherited his father's job and entered the glass production base at the age of fourteen. He was promoted from a small handyman to an independent technician. He probably knows all aspects of glass production well. Fatty Shi's father met him because of selling glass as a consignment, and the two can be regarded as friends.
Fatty Shi's father once heard Technician Mancheni and his companions complain that the leaders of the glass production base were all elm-headed, who only knew how to keep things but didn't know how to innovate. So Fatty Shi's father began to pay attention to this Mancheni technician out of the keen sense of a businessman.
This Mancheni technician has had a hard time these days. He and his wife have only one daughter, and they have always loved her very much. Now that her daughter has grown up, she should worry about how to find a good husband for her daughter. Unfortunately, on September 36 this year, which was the day to celebrate the Harvest Festival, his husband and wife took their daughter to the streets to play, and they ran into Viscount Silva.
Viscount Silva is well-known in Fayes City, the capital of the Trimble Kingdom, but the reputation is not very good. He is the queen's nephew. He is as fat as a pig, but he is extremely lecherous. He once staged an embarrassing incident in the royal capital where he robbed civilian women and caused public riots. After being severely taught by the queen, he restrained himself a lot.
This Viscount Silva fell in love with Technician Mancheni's daughter, so he didn't dare to rob her in the street now, but followed and harassed her all the way, saying that he wanted to marry Technician Mancheni's daughter as his twenty-sixth concubine.
The Mancheni couple loved their daughter more than treasures, and they were willing to push her into the fire pit. They immediately rejected Viscount Silva, and feared that Viscount Silva would mess around, so they took their daughter and hid in the dormitory of the glass production base. I think this time I can always escape Viscount Silva's dirty hands.
It is true that Viscount Silva can't put his hand into the heavily guarded glass production base, but he can use gold coins to bribe the bosses above, as long as they help drive the Mancheni family out. Do you still have to choose, my lord? The bosses accepted Viscount Silva's gold coins with a smile, and Mancheni's family was in trouble.
Soon Technician Mancheni received an ultimatum from the leaders of the glass production base. Since his wife and daughter are not from the glass production base, it is illegal for them to stay in the dormitory of the base. Mancheni technicians have been working hard for 32 years, and they were given a three-day deadline to order them to leave the glass production base, otherwise they would be punished as violating the confidentiality regulations and so on.
Technician Mancheni felt extremely disappointed. He had almost dedicated his whole life to the glass production base, but he never thought that he would be driven to a dead end by his own people. What is especially ridiculous is that, as a technician in the glass production base, who has mastered all the mysteries of glass production, Technician Mancheni has always been equipped with two silver swordsmen. It's a pity that these two silver swordsmen exist to monitor whether Mancheni's technician leaks secrets, not as his bodyguards. Not only did they stand idly by what happened to the Mancheni technicians' family, but they also watched the excitement with relish...
Fatty Shi's father said that the Mancheni family had just been expelled from the glass production base, and Viscount Silva had decided to forcefully marry his daughter three days later. If they come to help, the Mancheni technicians will definitely give their allegiance to the ground, and the family will definitely be able to master the technology of glass production.
This is a good idea, Lorist stroked his chin and thought about it...
