Chapter 42

"Ten gold coins!? are you sure?"

Fiona was not surprised when she learned the news from Donne at dinner.

You know, there are thirteen little girls who don't know anything. After Donne's simple training, they can create the value of ten gold coins in a day. What if more people receive training?

There is basically no difficulty in this work!

If the mint planting industry is carried out in Ellington in the future, after the scale is expanded, it is equivalent to everyone can create the same value. At that time, what will be the output value of the whole Ellington in one day? A thousand gold coins? Ten thousand gold coins!?

This is an unimaginable topic!

"Of course, my friend, I don't have to lie to you."

Donne showed a very reserved smile, as if waiting for Fiona to praise him.

Fiona ignored Donne again and said eagerly, "can we expand the scale?"

Ellington people now urgently need a distraction to do, and this is a good choice.

"Dear Fiona," Donne pinched his eyebrows, "you've given me a problem."

"What's the matter?"

"Although there is no problem with production now, do you take into account the market?"

Donne asked Fiona: "the mint candy produced is not good in the local market of Ellington. As long as it is transported out, it can be sold in arlinks and even other towns. Only when the goods are sold can they produce value. If they are stacked in the warehouse, they will only slowly become moldy!"

"I'm already trying to solve this problem."

Fiona said seriously, "I've written a letter and sent it out in the afternoon. The fastest thing is that there will be results in a week."

"I hope the people you trust can come, otherwise I can only think of other ways."

Donne sighed and the conversation was over.

That night, Donne didn't sleep well, because he will start manufacturing the waterwheel tomorrow. He must get out the structural drawing of the waterwheel before tomorrow. He even needs to do the key bearings and balls himself.

At the level of Edgar and Brian, it's very difficult to create usable bearings and balls. As we all know, if this part is a little unqualified, the wear degree will double. If the waterwheel collapses in a few days, it's hitting him in the face.

If you want to solve the drought problem as soon as possible, it's actually very simple. As long as Donne casts a spell, he can rain, but once, does he have to cast a spell to rain every time? Moreover, Ellington's territory is so large that other towns are far away. He can't run next to each other, can he?

Therefore, promoting waterwheel is the simplest way.

"The structure of the waterwheel... Um..."

Donne sat on the bed thinking hard, with several iron ingots floating in front of him constantly changing shapes. For many people on earth, the water wheel is a very distant thing, and even many people have never seen it at all. Donne is the same, but Donne knows the principle, rotates with the help of the thrust of water itself, and then the movable bucket is filled with water and raised to a high place, After passing the critical point, roll over, pour out the water, fix a support and pipe where the water flows out, and guide the water to other places.

The principle is very simple. After Dunn simulated it in his mind for several times, he roughly understood the structure of the waterwheel, and then he began to be busy

the second day.

"Hahaha, I'll just say that it's easy to finish the task in two days."

Brian laughed and greeted Donne: "come and have a look. These things have been done and the quality is acceptable. I have to say that the punch, cutting machine and grinder you got out are really easy to use!"

Brian has obviously been conquered by those three machines. With the help of these three machines, the forging work has become extremely easy.

Donne randomly checked and nodded with satisfaction: "let Edgar be ready. Fiona has sent someone to distribute the subsidy vouchers. It is estimated that someone will come to get the tools soon."

"Coupons? What's that?"

"Instead of physical gold coins, you can get a set of metal farm tools with the subsidy certificate, and then Edgar will use the subsidy certificate to settle the payment between the Lord's house and Fiona."

This is the subsidy policy that Donne thought for a long time. Originally, he planned to issue gold coins directly, but it was later rejected by Fiona.

The reason is that it is easy to cause some people's unbalanced psychology and breed malignant events.

The subsidy voucher is different. The subsidy voucher is not a gold coin. It can only be used to change agricultural tools. Even if it is robbed, it is useless. Those farmers will be much safer.

As Donne expected, before noon, farmers had come to receive metal farm tools with subsidy vouchers.

The first farmer obviously didn't dare to believe that there would be such a good thing. He was a little trembling with the subsidy voucher. I'm afraid he was worried that Edgar regarded him as a liar.

"This is your set of farm tools. Take it. Go back and find a piece of wood, cut it into a handle and insert it."

Edgar quickly handed a set of iron farm tools to the farmers, and then put away the subsidy voucher.

The farmer was immediately stunned.

It's true!?

What kind of subsidy voucher can you really exchange for a set of metal farm tools!?

"Long live your Lord! Thank you for your gift!"

At this moment, the farmer thanked Donne from the bottom of his heart and deeply appreciated his gift.

The response of those farmers who followed was almost the same. They took the metal farm tools one by one and thanked the Lord for his gift. It can be seen how excited they were.

Brian, who was hiding behind the house, hit Donne's thigh: "big brother, what's it like to be grateful?"

"All right."

Don didn't know if he could, but there was a faint smile on his face.

"Human beings are so hypocritical that the corners of their mouths are almost pulled to their ears," said Brian, rubbing his hands. "Big brother, do you have any Austrian gold ingots?"

"Yes, but what do you want?"

"Hey, hey, I want to get some more Austrian gold ingots and create an Austrian gold axe."

Brian laughed: "think about it. When you meet the enemy, there is no war. As soon as you light your weapons, the golden axe can blind the enemy's dog eyes. The enemy has no intention of war. This is called winning without war."

"Save it, you are more likely to be robbed than to win without a war."

Donne has a speechless face and wants to show off his wealth? Holding your precious two handed hammer is not more powerful than the golden axe?

However, it seems that the appearance of the most precious two handed Warhammer is really poor

"Hey, big brother, you can't say that! Don't you underestimate my combat effectiveness! I tell you, with your small body, I can beat five!"

Donne looked up and down at Brian. "Are you sure?"

Brian smiled proudly: "of course! Don't believe it! Let's break our wrists! I'll let you four fingers!"

Donne looked at Brian's big black hand and shook his head. "I'm not interested."

"Why are you so disappointed? I said you --"

"Stop talking nonsense. Edgar is selling farm tools. Don't be idle."

Donne threw the structure diagram of the waterwheel to Brian: "this is the structure diagram of the waterwheel. Look at it first. Ask if you have any questions, and then start working. I have made important parts. You only need to make the skeleton. Some of them are wood. The carpenter's work. Can you find the carpenter to solve it before the evening?"

Brian looked at it, patted his chest and said, "no problem! It's all right!"

"Good. I'll leave this part to you. I'll go first. If I can, I hope it can be assembled tomorrow."

Donne patted his ass and went back to the Lord's house.

Stamping machines, cutting machines, grinding machines and metal farm tools have been completed, and the mint workshop has preliminarily taken shape. If you want to further develop, you need to rebuild and plan to establish a plant, and most importantly, you need to open up the business road, which needs a business team to solve.

According to Fiona, the formation of the caravan will take at least a week. During this period, don can do little.

Donne is very eager to make toothpaste, but he doesn't know the specific ingredients of toothpaste. Even if he knows, there is no chemical factory to help him refine it, so he can only replace it with salt for the time being.

On the contrary, soap is easier to get out than toothpaste. After refining and filtering the soap and adding mint essential oil, it will become Mint Soap. It will be much more comfortable to take a bath at that time.

As soon as he thought of it, Donne perked up and summoned Tina.

Tina was a little silly at Donne's request, but she prepared a lot of fat left for refining and a big bag of salt according to his request.

The smell of making soap is so strong that don doesn't want to continue his research in the bedroom. He picked up the fat and slipped into an empty warehouse.

The original form of soap is that fat and plant ash react when heated in water, and the essence of this reaction is actually the saponification reaction between oil and alkali, and plant ash plays the role of alkali.

But Donne doesn't plan to use plant ash now. The soap made in that way is too ugly. He plans to go directly to the advanced means - electrolysis of saturated salt water.

A very simple chemical reaction, electrolysis of saturated salt water to obtain hydrogen, * *, and the most important sodium hydroxide melt!

With sodium hydroxide melt, who still uses low-grade goods such as plant ash. [e1]

If it's someone else, even if you know this equation, it won't work. After all, there's no civil power in the world, but who's Donne?

A powerful mage

Playing with lightning, aren't you clapping?

"Zizi..."

After making a large pot of saturated salt water, there were clusters of electric light in Donne's hand, and the extremely stable high-pressure arc directly penetrated into the pot. Soon, the salt water began to bubble, and an unpleasant smell of Cl2 appeared in the air

In fact, Donne really wants to collect Cl2, which is very useful and can be used for bleaching. However, there is no special container, so he can only stop. First, drain the hydrogen and Cl2 gas to the nearby container to fuse with water, and then make plans later.
