Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

Qiao Yi is very familiar with fooling people.

The dwarves on the opposite side had already exploded, and Qiao Yi sat on the sofa and drank tea slowly.

It wasn't until the dwarves discussed a result that a representative Huolin was introduced to make their request.

One can guess that it is nothing more than about the non-existent "Machinery Canon" in Qiao Yi's hand.

Perhaps, there is also the shotgun that has been taken back by the system.

"Dear Duke Stuart, we have a request."

"Tell me about it." Joe rolled the stack of paper into a tube, and tapped on the palm of his hand, causing the eyes of the dwarves to follow the paper tube and shake it up and down.

"We... want to borrow these blueprints, and I hope you can agree."

"It's easy to say." As soon as Joe leaned back in the chair, his tone paused, and then he propped his chin and said: "However, in the final analysis, these things were brought out by my ancestors from the flames of war. And even in the dwarf kingdom, the grand ceremony is not Anyone can see it, right?"

Dwarves are also divided into nobles and commoners, and the treasures that have gathered the highest wisdom of the dwarves will naturally not be accessible to everyone.

The implication is that the dwarves need to pay a small price.

What's more, the blueprint in Joe's hand has nothing to do with the dwarf's treasure at all.

For free?

He is not a philanthropist.

His purpose is only one, and that is to kidnap and lure these walking industrial revolution engines into the productivity of Stormland.

Just kidding, he still has an eight-year long-term task to complete.

Without strong ships and sharp guns, how can we face up to the Holy See, which has a big family and a big career?

Relying on the shovels and spatulas of the people to swim across the sea to be tough?

Who gave them the courage to fight bayonets against countries with a population of several million in the south and hundreds of thousands of believers with a population of more than [-]?

Liang Jingru?

The industrial revolution is necessary, and when the time is ripe, there may be another wave of accumulation from the early stage of capitalism.

Population and labor force are necessary prerequisites for the development of industrial society.

As soon as Qiao Yi felt that he had to start thinking about the labor force.

Back to the topic

Everyone knows that there will be no pies in the sky. Even if there are, you still have to worry about whether you will be smashed by the pies.

The dwarves also know this truth well.

If the greedy and insidious human beings didn't make any demands, they would instead be wary of any traps.

"We are willing to pay some price for this, Your Excellency the Duke."

"We can make crossbow arrows for you, and I bet the elves' bows are no match for our crossbow arrows."

Joe shook his head: "But I have blueprints. I can find someone to do these myself."

"We can make steel, and the swords we make are extremely sharp!"

Qiao Yi: "But my existing steelmaking technology is more advanced than yours, it's just that it hasn't been promoted yet."

Huo Lin choked, and his face began to turn red.

It was Huo Sen who came out and said, "I think relying on the current conditions of the storm, even if you have the blueprint of the sewing machine, it will be difficult for you to do it successfully? Maybe we can. If you want..."

Qiao Yi raised his hand: "Unfortunately, you are late. The elves are already doing this."

"If there are other drawings, we can also try."

Joe said: "Although I have other drawings, how can I believe that I gave you the drawings, and you can make corresponding things? Those things are no less difficult than sewing machines."

The dwarves were silent.

In this negotiation, they have no advantage at all.

Joe Yi was right, what could they use to prove themselves?

Crossbow. Arrow?

What a joke, this is not at the same level as the precision of a sewing machine. They can't guarantee that they will be able to make it, let alone other more difficult things.

"If you can't make what I want, but take my blueprints, what's the difference between prostitution and prostitution?"

Joe spread his hands.

Full marks for logic.

The dwarves had already been entangled in, and their faces became embarrassed, as if they really took advantage of Qiao Yi.

At this time, Qiao Yi opened his mouth slowly: "However, I do have a proposal. I wonder if you can accept it."

"Please say."

"You've heard of it..." Qiao Yi leaned forward, with an inexplicable allure in his tone: "Is there a gambling agreement?"

"Gambling agreement??" Huo Lin tugged at his beard, a little dazed.

"Is it a bet? I like betting the most!" Huo Mu became excited, "Tell me, how do you bet? What are you betting on?"

Joe pulled down Huo Mu who jumped onto the table and explained slowly, "Simply put, we signed a contract and used the drawings as a bet."

"I will first provide you with a blueprint and the materials needed for the research. You are responsible for the research. The time limit is three months. If you succeed, I will continue to provide you with the next blueprint. In this cycle, the blueprint that has been studied successfully It's yours."

"Then what if we fail to do the research within the time limit?" Mello whispered while biting a potato chip.

"Of course you lose."

"If you lose...what will happen?"

Qiao Yi showed a smile: "According to the contract, you need to do one thing for me. Of course, this thing will not exceed your ability, and it will not cause you to sacrifice personnel. I have always been a very kind person .”

He clapped his hands, and looked at the dwarves who were obviously not thinking too much, and said, "This contract sounds great, doesn't it?"

The three leading brothers didn't speak. They haven't recovered yet, and they are trying to understand the concept of "VAM Agreement".

It was the younger Meg who jumped out and spoke first:

"You are a slave! What is the difference between you doing this and those guys in the south who took us to study weapons? This is no loss to you at all."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the dwarves exploded again.

"fraud!"

"A dwarf is never a slave!"

"Yes! Dwarves are never slaves!"

Qiao knocked on the table and signaled them to be quiet: "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."

"First of all, you are free. I don't bother to imprison you and oppress you like those guys in the South."

"Secondly, I want you to make it clear: you are the ones who ask me. We can't make it ourselves for the time being, can't the elves do it?"

"Thirdly, as an investor, of course I have to guarantee my own interests. If there is too much loss for me, why should I sign a contract with you? Besides, isn't the blueprint that was prostituted by you a loss?"

"Don't you succeed, I can erase the blueprint from your heads?"

"What's more, who knows if you will deliberately not produce results to prostitute my drawings?"

Language has always been magical, it depends on whether you can use it.

Obviously Joe Yi knows this well.

Seeing that the dwarves gradually calmed down again, Qiao Yi curled his lips and released his trump card in thought: "And, don't you want to have the "Machinery Canon"?"

"The complete "Machinery Canon" full of treasures."

"You will become the glorious successors of dwarven civilization and the great pioneers of dwarven mechanical research!"

"You have become the pride of the dwarves, the new guides of the dwarf civilization!"

"Until the day when you can see the light of day again, all the dwarves will bow down to your superb mechanical technology, which is far beyond theirs!"

The heads of the three Huo Sen brothers have already blushed and began to show excitement.

The eyes of the others also became hot.

The top leader in mechanical manufacturing technology!

The successor of the dwarven civilization!

What an exciting and yearning vocabulary!

"Now that you are being kicked out by those thieves in the south like a lost dog, don't you think about beating them back?"

Qiao Yi continued to speak slowly with a seductive emphasis.

"Your clansmen are still imprisoned in the darkened Reed Island to suffer inhuman exploitation, and you can only hide and flee in the dangerous forest..."

"Don't you want to restore the dwarven civilization to its former glory?"

"Think about it. With the complete ceremony, you drove the warship all the way into Reed Island to save the people from the fire and water, and carried the cannon to blow up those stinky and shameless grandchildren in the south!"

"You are the heroes of the entire nation, the leader of the new dwarf kingdom!!"

The atmosphere was pushed to a climax by Qiao Yi's gradually agitated emphasis.

The dwarves raised their fists and raised their necks and shouted:

"Break into Reed Island!

"Save dwarf civilization!

"Restore the glory of the dwarf kingdom!

"A dwarf is never a slave!

"..."

Qiao crossed his arms and sat on the sofa, looking at this group of dwarves with red faces and passionate emotions, he suddenly thought of what a college classmate once said to him: Qiao Yi, did I say that you are really suitable for me? Going to be a pyramid scheme leader?

Ouch.

What MLM is not MLM.

He is obviously compassionate and kind-hearted. He couldn't see an excellent nation being enslaved and squeezed, so he decided to help without hesitation.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not.

Money or not, he is a dignified man of the Stuart kingdom, and he is not interested in money.

How tacky!

Couldn't it be out of humanitarian concern?

"My lord, we are willing to sign this contract!"

The dwarves clenched their fists, looking eager to devote themselves to the great socialist scientific research now.

Qiao Yi took out the contract that he had prepared a long time ago, bent his eyes and smiled innocently: "Then, happy cooperation!"

"However, my lord duke." A dwarf raised his hand, a little bit lacking in confidence: "That... is it all food and shelter?"

After all, there are no such delicious snacks on the mountain

Joe One: ...

"Bao. I can designate a place for you in the industrial area, with a canteen and a dormitory, and I can also pay you wages. You can go back to the mountains to live at night, or you can live in a dormitory. Do you have any other questions?"

"Your Excellency! I have another question."

Joe One: "Say."

"What is that ... cannon you mentioned just now?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yi raised the corners of his lips, his dark eyes were like a bottomless vortex: "That is... the truth!"
