Chapter 150

Leave it to me

Bai Zhou took the list written by Wei Fu and found that he had thought too simply at the beginning. [bsp;   The reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to unify and establish the first feudal empire in Middle-earth history was that the excellent weapons were an indispensable part.

The flow-through operation can ensure the unity of quantity and weapon standards as much as possible, and the layer-by-layer supervision system can minimize the defective rate.

However, this kind of epoch-making workshop system cannot be established overnight. Xi Qin now does not even have a separate weapon workshop, let alone this system. But if it were still the "primitive" working method of the master and his apprentice before, it was so inefficient that it would not be able to satisfy Bai Zhou's desire to become a "arms dealer", at most it would be an arms dealer.

This is just one of the difficulties. According to Tie San, if you only want those craftsmen who build iron tools, the number of people may not be large, one or two thousand people is enough. As long as you wait for everything to be regular, conventional weapons such as swords have a daily production capacity of hundreds. But the problem is that mining requires people, logging requires people, and transportation requires people. In this regard, Tie San is just a blind eye.

In addition, Baizhou originally planned to make more profitable weapons such as crossbows, but the composite bows in Middle Earth have strict time limits for material selection and material selection, and the manufacturing cycle is as long as several years. This kind of thing is impossible to sell at present. Of course, if the production process is simplified, such as simplifying the production steps of Western single bows, it would be easier, but it would go against Baizhou's original intention.

This is just a production difficulty. As for sales, such as how to persuade the nobles to buy weapons and equipment of the Western Qin people, and at the same time, it will not cause the other party to greed, which will make them greedy for the Western Qin people and thus raise troops to invade. This is a knowledge that Bai Zhou believes that he has not mastered.

A headache.

Bai Zhou strolled on the Berne road. Although he understood the truth that everything was difficult at the beginning, he really wanted to start solving this "start" from scratch, Bai Zhou felt that he had no idea how to start.

"Hey, Bai Zhou, why are you here?" Fiola and her two maids saw Bai Zhou, who was also walking on the street, and the maid was holding a few baskets in her hand. The green things that were leaking out from it should be all ingredients: "Don't you have to pretend to be sick anymore?" Fiola seemed to be afraid of being heard by outsiders around her, so she walked to Bai Zhou and whispered.

Looking at Fiola's rare attitude to her little daughter in public, Bai Zhou couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. It's also something to be proud of when converting an iceberg into a cream cake.

"No need." Bai Zhou helped Fiora to tidy up the slightly messy ends of his hair: "If Frederick is such a proud man, he may ask me to go to the Roman Cathedral to watch the ceremony. If other situations occur, he will not remember me again."

"However, depending on the situation, it should be not far from the day he won." Over the past period of time, the news came that Frederick defeated someone and killed some enemies. Depending on the situation, this time Frederick's southern expedition should have a great victory.

Fiora's expression suddenly darkened, and her smile just now also faded a lot.

Bai Zhoudao confessed, and he almost forgot his identity as Fiora - this is an authentic Italian noble lady. Although she was forced to leave Italy for some reason, it was her hometown after all, and there were people she could not give up.

Talking about the sufferings of her hometown here is not a timely thing.

"It's okay," Fiora couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Bai Zhou's appearance so carefully. Then she raised the baskets in the maid's hand and shook them in front of Bai Zhou again and again: "Look, what have I prepared for you?"

Bai Zhou's face turned green in an instant.

Some time ago, in order to regulate Bai Zhou's body, Li Jin specially opened a unique secret recipe that is said to be historic.

Bai Zhou refused at first, saying that this was a minor injury, but he just scratched the skin. He just cleaned the wound and didn't have to take medicine at all. Then Li Jinshen said that his prescription also has the miraculous effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys.

Then Bai Zhou drank it clean without saying a word.

That was so bad that Bai Zhou almost vomited out the overnight meal. This medicine is not only bitter, but also has an indescribable pungent smell. The most terrifying thing is that there is a sweet feeling in the taste. It really makes people feel ecstasy.

And the reason why I spent such a piece of writing to describe Li Jin's medicine is only one purpose - the taste of the rice made by Fiola is so similar to the taste of the medicine.

So Bai Zhou's face turned green in an instant.

No wonder, Fiora, a countess like this, never even took a kitchen knife before meeting Bai Zhou.

During this period, it may have been stimulated by Caiwei. The food made by Caiwei has always been the only reason why she came to Baizhou to eat for free, and it was quite a bit like a Buddhist saying that he had jumped over the wall by jumping over Zen.

Of course, Fiora didn't show any weakness, especially seeing that Bai Zhou repeatedly "praises" Caiwei for cooking.

Afterwards, she formally told Bai Zhou that she would make Italian specialties for Bai Zhou personally to ensure that everyone enjoys the food.

To be honest, although Italian cuisine is not as famous as French cuisine in later generations, it is still a country that emphasizes food. Although Italian macaroni has not appeared in this era when Marco Polo didn't know where it was, it is definitely better than those countries where pickled cabbage is just a meal.

Of course, Bai Zhou had to try it. Originally, Bai Zhou thought that Fiora was a smart man, not only to go to the hall, but also to the kitchen, but unexpectedly, he was not only wrong, but also to be outrageous.

Mengshan has always shown his strength and determination throughout his life. After eating a bite of the dish made by Fiora, he immediately became extremely smooth and ran so quickly.

Since then, every time I heard that Fiola wanted to cook, Bai Zhou would always hide with various excuses. If he really couldn't avoid it, he would say that he had no appetite. But today, he met Fiola again.

"Ah, there are so many delicious foods again." Bai Zhou smiled against his will.

"Yes, you are not allowed to make any excuses today." Fiora said.

"I understand, understand." Bai Zhou pointed his head wildly, and he also observed silently for his stomach and intestines.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask, what are you wandering around here?"

Fiora rarely saw Bai Zhou like today, as if aimless, just wandering around.

"That's how it is..."

While explaining his thoughts, Bai Zhou returned to his residence with Fiora.

"I didn't expect that you still have the talent to do business?" Fiora took off her veil and smiled sweetly. In her mind, Bai Zhou was a politician who was a stubborn politician or a general who was in charge of military service. However, he did not expect that he would still be interested in doing business.

"If I were really talented, would I have such a headache now?" Bai Zhou said with a wry smile.

"Then we'll stop doing it." Fiora said for granted.

"You are so light. If I don't think of any more solutions, maybe our Xiqin will not even be able to pay the military pay for the next month."

"Then can you lend me it? I won't charge you interest. How much do you want to borrow? Just speak out. My money is your money." This made Bai Zhou feel ashamed.

"Yes, I can ask you to borrow the military pay for next month. Then next month, borrowing money is not a long-term solution. In this place of Switzerland, the land is too barren and the transportation is inconvenient. If I no longer try to get some money, then we will really be in vain here." Bai Zhou sighed.

Of course, this was not Bai Zhou sighing because he wanted to give up, but because he thought that he was about to eat the food made by Fiora again.

"It seems that you really find it difficult?" Fiora blinked, as if she saw a different Baizhou today.

"Is this fake?" Bai Zhou laughed a little when he asked Fiora. If he had mastered it, he would have done it long ago, instead of sitting here and thinking about what to do next

"I always thought you were an omnipotent person, just like a god." Fiora looked at Bai Zhou and stared at Bai Zhou's whole body with hair.

Speaking of which, Fiora met on the way to the Pizhou conquer Switzerland. At that time, Fiora thought Pizhou was crazy and with a few thousand troops, she had to challenge a serious principality.

It sounds as ridiculous as a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

But this big boy showed confidence that was completely inconsistent with his age, and the result was a miraculous victory.

Then, another 100,000 Burgundy army swept across the board. At the beginning, Fiora was planning to suggest that Bai Zhou go to other places temporarily, such as Nuremberg or London, to avoid the limelight. However, he did not expect that Bai Zhou was like a mad gambler, suppressing all his wealth and fighting the Burgundians to the death.

In Basel, the Belfort Mountains, and Bai Zhou's words and deeds are engraved in Fiola's heart. He dispatches troops and commands the generals. This kind of confidence is not even the royal members of many countries. At least, as far as Fiola knows, many crown princes, if they encounter such a situation, their first choice is to surrender decently and wait for redemption.

Bai Zhou's confidence is a very important factor that attracts Fiora. Therefore, this first time, when Bai Zhou showed this helpless expression in front of her, Fiola felt very fresh - a hero who was decisive and guided the country would even worry about money? This made Fiora feel a little fun.

She didn't know that Bai Zhou even had the plan to write knight novels in order to raise money. If it weren't for this era, let alone there were no publishers, and even printing was not popular on a large scale.

"In this world, there is no omnipotent person unless he is God. Of course, in my eyes, God is not omnipotent." Bai Zhou, an atheist, naturally had to add a high-sounding reason to his "incompetence". God is not omnipotent, let alone me, an ordinary person?

"You are blaspheming God." Fiora said strangely.

"Oh, is that right? I'm just explaining a fact."

“Give an example.”

"For example? OK, can God, can he create a boulder that he can't move?"

“…”

"Okay, okay, can we start talking about the important things?" Bai Zhou saw Fiola's gradually unkind eyes, and he changed the subject in time. Of course, since Fiola was forced to leave Italy, he knew that there was no God in this world, or that God was a little busy and had no energy to manage the affairs of the world. But as a pillar of spiritual belief for more than ten years, even if it was incomplete, it could not be humiliated at will.

Fiora glanced at Bai Zhou. Of course, for the couple who were in the sweet period, this could only be considered a sign of the same. If they encounter an old couple who had suffered a seven-year itch, it might be a cause for going to the divorce registration office.)

"I can think of a way for you," Fiora said. "We can play the Burgundians."

"Of course I have thought about it this way, but I always have to negotiate with Joan of Arc for this matter. To be honest, I actually don't like dealing with that woman in this regard." Bai Zhou scratched his scalp and told the truth.

No one wants to formally negotiate with a downright fanatical religious or national element, even if she is a beautiful girl who looks pleasing to the eye. After all, religious and national element often means that they will not compromise, and such people will not be favored by other negotiators.

Fiora: No, I mean, after several wars, you captured Burgundian soldiers.

Bai Zhou: However, they were all sent to build the Twin Cities of Western Qin, so there shouldn't be many people being drawn at the moment.

Fiora: Do you know how many Burgundians were captured in the two "Basel Battles" in the past and after.

Bai Zhou didn't know what Fiora asked what this meant, but he still made up his mind.

Due to the two battles, Basel became a complete cage. The Burgundians were surrounded and there were quite a few captured by Western Qin, with nearly 20,000 people totaling in total.

This is indeed the best labor force, but the problem is that they are not a waste of money now, they have already started to work. At this time, these prisoners finally got familiar with the work at hand and then let them adapt to the new work. It seems inappropriate.

Fiora: You also know that there are so many people. The question is, can you use so many prisoners in the Western Qin architecture? Last time I went to the Twin Cities you mentioned. There were at most five thousand prisoners in Bern in the area of ​​Bern.

When Bai Zhou heard this, he quickly opened the construction page in his "full war system" and found that in fact, there were basically no more than one hundred workers in the first-level buildings. Of course, in reality, more workers can definitely be used to speed up the construction period, but it has to be said that the number of people required in the system is not the minimum number, but the most reasonable number. After all, sometimes, it is not the number of people that the number of people is the faster the work is, and it is also common for Bai Zhou to have one plus one less than two.

Bai Zhou had never had time to go to the construction site to take a closer look. Even though he had been there, he just took a quick look and didn't expect the actual situation to be like this.

Bai Zhou: But our Western Qin not only built the Twin Cities next to Bern, but also had several places in western Switzerland, and there were 5,000 people in one place, indicating that there were not many prisoners of 20,000 people.

Fiora: You don’t understand what I mean yet? Actually, I went to the construction site to take a look. The prisoners can do little to deal with construction. Not to mention that most of them have never done this work before. Even if there are, the architectural style and even the construction materials of your Xiqin are very different from our local ones. So, if there are any help from the entire construction site, I think the effect is almost the same.

Bai Zhou: What do you mean is to draw them out?

Fiora: Well, except for leaving some prisoners to be responsible for logging and digging stones, everything else can be sent to your weapon workshop.

In just a few words, one of the problems that caused Bai Zhou the most headache. Sometimes a person’s vision is really impossible to cover everything. If someone changes his or her thinking, the problem will immediately become clear.

"By the way, husband...you... forget it, I'd better call you Bai Zhou. I have another thing, I want to tell you." Did Fiora be polite to Bai Zhou, especially after helping Bai Zhou, she was so polite.

"Say it." Bai Zhou was in a relaxed mood now.

"I want to help you."

"How to help?" Bai Zhou had not yet hysteria. What did Fiora mean?

"Leave this business to me," Fiora said seriously.

"Hmm? This is not very good, you are a woman..." Bai Zhou said this, and suddenly stopped what he said, thinking about what happened to him. He didn't have any ideas yet. Why did he, a man from the 21st century, have such a feudal dregs? "I mean, you have no experience. After all, this is not a child's house, but it is related to the food problem of tens of thousands of people in Xiqin."

Fiora smiled and said, "I think that letting you do it yourself is a child playing house, and you don't understand the truth at all."

"You mean, you know?" Bai Zhou only knew that the Italian nobles were famous for spending money, but he didn't expect that this person would still make money.

In fact, those who can spend money often make money, but in literary works, most of the rich second generations are rich second generations, and they are also the scum among the rich second generations.
