Chapter 0766 Dwarves
The forces of Hanfeng City cursed Victor and Hugo, and Old Borg was scolding, and Bruno, the dwarf foreman in the forging site, was also scolding. He was grabbing a glass of swaying ale and smashing heavily on the wooden table, shouting loudly with a clanging sound:
"Our lord is so evil. He is fierce, cruel, ruthless, and the most terrible monarch in the world. Those who do not obey him will die, including you."
In front of the wooden table were more than a dozen thick dwarves with long beards, one by one, glaring at the bragging Bruno. They were hilly dwarves and enemies of the gray dwarves from the dark areas. Both sides didn't like each other.
Bruno was shaking his head and his face was flushed. The ale in his glass was distilled high-level wine, which made people dizzy when they smelled it, but this guy had already drunk half a bucket, and his tongue was knotted.
Even though he was drunk, Bruno still kept bragging and bragging hard.
"No one will buy your bad goods in Hanfeng City. Your weapons and armor are all inferior products and are so expensive. Who would want it? The Lord will definitely not buy it.
The whole of Beidi is buying products from Hanfengcheng. Our goods are good and cheap, and it will not exceed one month from order to delivery. Can you do it? You can't do it!"
Bruno was so excited that he pointed to the wall next to the table, "Look at the weapons hanging on this wall, these are all created by our forging site after a second upgrade.
The secret of quenching and annealing that you regard as top secret is not a secret to us. The Lord of the Lord knows the recipe for adding magic elements.
The skills you have trained over the past few decades are not worth mentioning in front of high-temperature furnaces and hydraulic forging machines. Our apprentices can create master-level products in just one year. How long will it take for you to?
More importantly, your output is too small, really too small. The output of our forging farm is equivalent to that of your tribe in one year. How do you compete with us?
The entire weapon and equipment market in the north is occupied by Hanfeng City, and you can't beat us at all. So, you all have to die, all of you starve to death, poor to death, and hide in the tribe to cry to death!"
Bruno shouted loudly, and his body shook, his short figure swayed downwards, falling under the table. In a few seconds, he could hear his snoring below.
Before the glass of ale was finished, Bruno was also taken to pour when he fell down. The wine was spilled from the table, and some fell on his face. The guy knew that he could drink it and kept clattering his mouth.
The hilly dwarves at the table were silent one by one, and they were angry and frowning.
The rise of Hanfeng City has had a great impact, which not only made the human aristocrats in the north untouched, but also caused different changes in the production and life of other races.
The most obvious thing is that the price of metal products in the North has dropped sharply, and the heavy-duty carriage of the "Harmony Chamber of Commerce" buys indispensable goods for humans to every corner of the North.
Among them, weapons and equipment are second, but life tools such as pots and pans are the best sold.
Before, Old Borg had a big pot in the Voodoo Swamp, and was considered a rich man. Now, basically every household in Hanfeng City has a complete set of cooking tools. This has brought about huge changes in life.
The agriculture in Hanfeng City is developing greatly, but the food is still not enough. Selling metal tools for grain has become an indispensable trade.
The price of this dumping is that the Northland dwarf tribe, which originally did this business, will soon be unable to survive.
No matter how hard the dwarves tried, they could not withstand the three dams and seven hydraulic forging machines of different specifications that Zhou Qingfeng had continuously built.
As Alcy's understanding of machinery deepens and as Zhou Qingfeng's level increases, heavier spare parts are brought about. Now the most powerful hydraulic forging machine with a 150-kilogram forging hammer is used.
Mo Ji even installed a small hydraulic press with real parts to produce exquisite small metals.
As for metal smelting, there is a leap forward development. The precise use of trace elements allows the forging field to produce low-level magic equipment.
The newly built iron smelting furnace combined with coke oven can produce twenty or thirty tons of molten steel every day. Modern technology has allowed Hanfeng City to make a leap forward in manufacturing.
In terms of metal products, no matter the quality or output, the dwarves have no way to survive.
As time goes by, this situation will be even worse. Alsey and Sophia are testing the small horsepower steam engine, and the key cylinders and crankshafts can completely bring Zhou Qingfeng from reality.
Even sealing artifacts such as rubber pads can be used directly.
When the steam engine breaks through, let alone the dwarves, the entire blacksmith of Feren will feel threatened.
"Don't think of anything else but magic to stump Victor Hugo." Bruno fell to the ground and muttered, "You don't want to accept it now, when do you want?"
The hilly dwarf turned his head and stared at Bruno at the bottom of the table, and someone whispered, "Is this bastard really drunk? Could it be that he pretended?"
Another dwarf shouted indignantly: "This guy must be scaring us. The gray dwarf is not a dwarf. They are in the same group as the dark elves, and they are very cunning."
Once this was said, the gray dwarfs on the ground didn't say anything or smash their mouths, leaving only snoring like thunder. The dozen dwarfs at the table were still frowning, facing the painful choice.
The dumping of goods in Hanfeng City has caused the dwarf tribes in the North to go bankrupt. This race can't do anything except mining or making irons, and it will not produce anything else.
Lord Hugo opened up to buy ore, but the mining income was too low, and the money earned was not enough to buy wine. The dwarves were always in a dilemma and had to gather to ask Hanfeng City - can we sell less iron tools?
Innocent!
When Zhou Qingfeng heard this request, he sent the gray dwarf Bruno to discuss with several dwarf leaders. He did not set any negotiation requirements, but just let Bruno take care of it.
The gray dwarf was cunning and black-hearted. When he saw the hilly dwarf, he threatened and brought out the products from his forging site for these distant relatives to see, and told them that they would die if they did not surrender.
They were here to discuss business and quota, but they received death threats. The dwarves in the hills were so angry that they wanted to start a war. But the bragging Bruno fell down with a "drunk" and they couldn't argue with a drunk.
There are some swords, axes and armor hanging on the wall next to the table, all of which are slight magic fluctuations. This is the effect of correct doping trace elements. Either reinforce, magic resistance, or sharpness.
It is easier to enchant these equipment again and the effect is better. If you buy any of these weapons, you can get two or three thousand gold coins, and you can become treasures for several generations of low-level nobles.
But this thing is just an ordinary product in Hanfeng City, and it is a standard product that can be equipped with a large amount of equipment.
The dwarves visited the infantry regiment of Hanfeng City during the day. The Rock Infantry Battalion had just been expanded. The impact of the three hundred heavy infantry fully armed was extremely deterrent.
Several dwarf leaders conveyed messages at the table with their eyes and communicated silently with gestures. After a while, they kicked Bruno who was drunk on the ground, "Grayed Dwarf, get up. Stop pretending, let's talk again."
