Rise of the Plants

Chapter 136 No shortage of money now (510)

When Chi Nan returned to the outside of Hongsha Ridge, all the compensation Farah had given him had been delivered. Chi Nan checked the compensations and nodded slightly. This compensation is not small, but it is definitely not too much.

"Lord, what should I do with these iron ingots? We are using red sand steel now, so these iron ingots can only be left unused."

Chi Nan waved his hand: "It's simple. These iron ingots are all high-quality iron. Let the blacksmiths recruit more apprentices, and these will be used for the apprentices to practice their skills. These iron ingots are not used to make weapons and armor, but are used to make weapons and armor. Make iron pots, shovels and various agricultural tools, and then use them for the people in the territory."

"Sir, these are good irons. Isn't it a waste to build these things?"

Chi Nan said with a serious face: "Old Muka, you have to know that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Without good tools, how can various industries in our territory develop?"

Lao Muka had a serious look on his face, and what he said made sense. Although he couldn't understand it, what the lord said was right. "Sir, my subordinates suggest that this batch of items can only be used within the scope of Hongsha Town. These are good iron. If they are taken out, I am worried that some people will sell them to outsiders at high prices."

It turns out that this is still the case, and Chi Nan only found out about it now. Thinking of this, Chi Nan nodded and said: "Okay, let's use it inside Hongsha Town first. When they taste the benefits, they will naturally stop messing around."

Lao Muka pondered for a moment and continued: "Sir, the golden dragons for the first month of the front line have been delivered. They are urging us to ship them now." Lao Mka handed a form to Chi Nan .

This is what the first batch of Golden Dragons who purchased pea cannons on the front line needed. "I didn't expect them to be in such a hurry. In that case, let's give them the five thousand pea cannons in the first month." Chi Nan waved his hand, and Lao Mka breathed a sigh of relief. Those big shots have been waiting here, and he is under great pressure.

Chi Nan himself didn't expect that Earl Longgen would be so anxious. Although he walked slowly along the way, he traveled lightly after all. The people sent by Earl Longgen brought a large number of golden dragons with them, and they were so fast.

But soon Chi Nan no longer felt strange. A golden dragon has three peacrackers, and a golden dragon with five thousand peacrackers is just one box, but five thousand peacrackers is a lot. Therefore, although there were many people coming and many carts being pulled, these carts were all empty. A box can be filled with gold coins, so their speed is naturally not slow.

In fact, the pea crackers have been prepared for a long time. These pea cannons are planted on the chassis wood. After the growth is completed, the soldiers cut the bottom of the chassis wood and pull out the pea cannons intact.

Then put it in the ground and it will grow naturally without having to worry about it. The pea cannon that has been strengthened by Chi Nan can adapt to any type of land and basically does not require too special care.

Soon, Lao Muka began to direct them to move, while Chi Nan just looked at it and started to conduct the next experiment.

"With so many pea cannons, I can't always be the one to spawn them, so I still have to find a way. I have never been able to complete my idea before. That's because I am not strong enough. I don't know if it will work now."

Chi Nan hid behind and secretly experimented. His idea was to create a special plant that specialized in producing pea cannon seeds, as long as he designed it himself. This kind of plant must be more difficult to transplant than the jujube tree. Chi Nan had already remembered the last time the ironbark tree was stolen, and he didn't want this to happen again.

Furthermore, this kind of special seed cannot be planted just anywhere, the conditions must be very harsh. At this time, Chi Nan adjusted the new chassis wood, which just met this harsh condition.

In this way, with seeds and chassis wood as farmland, as long as your soldiers collect the seeds and plant them on the chassis wood, you can harvest a batch of mature pea cannons in a month.

Because this kind of peacracker grows naturally, the lifespan of the peacracker itself is longer than that of the peacracker itself. But again, because they are grown, there will also be some substandard products. These require soldiers to select them through testing and then gather them together for destruction.

But no matter how much trouble there is, in short, once this method is successful, the output of pea cannon will become very exaggerated in the future. While Chi Nan was experimenting, he ignored the people transporting goods in front of him.

After a whole day of testing, until the next day, a strange plant full of pods in Chi Nan's hand was finally completed. "It's finally made. With this kind of thing, I can be freed."

"The next step is to plant the pneumatic cannon. I cannot rely on myself for this kind of thing. The pneumatic cannon is larger and has a longer growth cycle, and it is impossible to grow wheels, only brackets. It will take about three months. Natural growth, I’m afraid it’s even harder to get seeds. No matter, let’s try it first, after all, we have to test it first.”

After Chi Nan made some pea cannon seed-making machines, he told his soldiers how to plant them, and then started planting in a newly established manor, which was strictly controlled.

A place like this cannot be thrown away, otherwise it will be taken over by others. It will become a military factory. No one can imitate this model yet. In Chi Nan's opinion, it is much better than industrial development.

If it cannot be imitated, it is a monopoly, and who dares to say that they are monopolizing it? After explaining everything, Chi Nan began to study the seeds of the pneumatic cannon. Soon the pneumatic cannon will go on sale.

But before it started, Chi Nan received a letter, which was given to him by the third princess Sophira.

"Haha, it's just as I thought. The royal family does know what I mean. There is one golden dragon for one hundred pneumatic cannons. The royal family will take 50% and Sophie will take 20%. If I sell one pneumatic cannon, I can get thirty golden dragons. Apart from the cost of making the wheel and the labor of the craftsmen, we can still retain more than twenty-nine golden dragons. This labor is really cheap."

"Sir, the royal family asked for too much. They actually took away 70% of it in one go."

Chi Nan waved his hand: "Old Muka, you can't say that. The royal family occupies the majority, so they can safely get the rest. Even these, I feel that they take too much, and it can easily cause others to be angry. It seemed that he had to find a way to use it. Chi Nan didn't do it because the golden dragon was unclear. The golden dragon was just a foreign object. What really mattered was his own strength.
