607 - The King's Attention

The answer can be summed up in eight words:
Reasonable division of labor and flow operation.

Zhou Ming asked the system to adjust the formula of [Tranquilizing Potion], and assigned the task of preparing the potion to 21 people.

That is, 1 person is the main and 20 people are auxiliary.

Zhou Ming completed the most critical mixing work.

The other 20 people, some are responsible for processing medicinal materials (such as grinding, juicing, extraction, etc.), some complete the preparation with little difficulty, and some help control the temperature and adjust the concentration of the medicine...The work completed by these 20 people is not the best. It is difficult, but it is a relatively tedious and careful work with a low probability of error, and each person is only responsible for 3 to 5 steps of simple work. Repeat it many times. After proficiency, the error rate will decrease and the quality of the medicine will continue to improve.

And the work efficiency of 21 people is naturally much higher than that of 1 person.

And these 20 assistants were recruited by Zhou Ming after many tests in the whole school. They were aged from 12 to 20 years old, and half of them were male and female. Their advantages were carefulness, concentration, and strong operation ability. Have a good psychological quality... Among these assistants, there must be some "junior pharmacists" that Zhou Ming promised to help the school train within two years.

It's not difficult, and most of these assistants are willing to become excellent "pharmacists", because as assistants, they not only get a salary of 300 gold coins per month, but also can buy [ Soothe the nerves potion], when their technical level improves, the welfare benefits will also increase.

The cost of 25 gold coins/bottle, wasn't it 35 gold coins before?Could it be that Zhou Ming lowered the preparation cost of [Soothing Potion] again.

No.

It's not that the cost has been reduced, but that it relies on its own channel - the medicinal materials purchased by the Brno Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce, and the price is equivalent to 25 gold coins per bottle.

Zhou Ming estimated that the Ganesh Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce under the Ganesh Pharmacy, because of its mature channels, the cost of purchasing medicinal materials is actually equivalent to about 20 gold coins per bottle.

From 20 to 1000, what an amazing profit?

Zhou Ming even imagined that if most of the wild medicinal materials were planted on a large scale through the establishment of artificial planting bases, the cost of preparing various medicines would drop a lot.

In addition, he discovered that there are five potions, as long as the price is cheap, they can be used as consumables and sold countless bottles.

They are [Soothing Potion] used by magicians to prolong the meditation time, and [Magic Power Recovery Potion] that can speed up the recovery of magic power when the magic power is exhausted.

As well as [Physical Restoration Potion] used by swordsmen to prolong exercise time, [Dragon Blood Potion] to improve physical fitness, and [Healing Potion] to quickly heal injuries.

These five medicines all have huge markets.

If Zhou Ming's "flow-water labor-based drug preparation method" is adopted, the preparation cost of these drugs can be greatly reduced.

Production is doubled.

In the end, in the small market of the Yadude Kingdom, even if these medicines were sold at the price of 50 or 100 gold coins a bottle of cabbage, they would not sell much.

There will be a serious backlog of products.

What should we do then?
exit.

Can only be exported abroad.

Vigorously develop the "pharmaceutical export economy".

In this regard, in front of the old fox, Zhou Ming described the benefits of this economic model:

"To make money, there is no doubt that you can make a lot of money. The pharmaceutical industry is a profiteering industry. Our cost of 30 gold coins or 50 gold coins per bottle can be sold in foreign countries for 300 gold coins or 500 gold coins. Even if you only earn ten times the profit, you can still win markets in a large number of countries.”

"After making money, we will expand the scale of production!"

"The potion output of the potion laboratory of the Brno School of Magic is still not high. We should build a large potion factory and recruit more people!"

"These people don't have to be magicians, ordinary workers are fine, and then develop more efficient machinery and equipment, and assemble more advanced assembly lines!"

"It is said that in some magic-prosperous kingdoms, there are such things as magic puppets, which are flexible and not afraid of fatigue. We can develop this kind of magic puppets and put them on the assembly line to improve production efficiency again."

"In this way, the magic potion we produce can occupy the potion market of the entire continent!"

"How much money will we make by then? I'm afraid it's unimaginable."

"By that time, I am afraid that the Yadude Kingdom will become one of the richest and most powerful countries in this world."

The old fox was stunned when he heard Zhou Ming's words.

His eyes were wide open, his head was buzzing, and he kept playing a sentence in a loop: Occupy the pharmaceutical market of the entire continent.

This……

How can this be?

Leylin, are you crazy, the whole continent?
The Azerothian continent that contains millions of human kingdoms, trillions of humans, and countless other races?

Are you sure you want to win such a big market?
This……

The old fox believed that only a madman's head would come up with such a crazy idea.

but……

The old fox had to admit that his idea had a slight chance of being realized.

The premise is that he can really start up the so-called "large pharmaceutical production factory".

Then relying on the "pharmaceutical export industry", the Yadude Kingdom ushered in an economic take-off.

And I don't know what's going on, for this kid's "outrageous words", he actually believes a little bit in his heart.

Because in the pharmacy laboratory of the Brno School of Magic, less than ten days after a large amount of medicinal materials were in place, he realized the daily production of [-] bottles of [Sedative Potion].

Judging from this matter alone, is there anything more exaggerated that this kid can't do?

It was the first time that the old fox discovered that he had underestimated this kid. The pattern in this kid's chest was not three or five kingdoms, but the entire continent!

He also realized that it was impossible for this kid to stay at the Brno Magic School. The stage here was too small, which would limit his talents.

"Is he really a member of the Leylin family? Members of this family are famous for their loyalty, bravery, stubbornness, and stupidity. There are very few truly intelligent people... What's the matter with this monster?"

The old fox was puzzled.

He also went to the palace and told King Jaime about it.

……

Inside the magnificent palace.

"Uncle, is that Leylin you mentioned really a member of the Leylin family?"

The old fox Roberts and the king are uncles and nephews. Both of them were born in the royal family and have a close relationship.

"Yes, he is indeed the heir of the Leylin family."

Roberts nodded.

King Jaime frowned, his expression a bit tangled.

He walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps and asked, "Uncle, if I announce the pardon of the Leylin family and return their land and title, is it feasible?"

"Uh~"

Roberts thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The nobles hate the Leylin family so much, it's not the time to pardon them now."

The Leylin family had been exiled for less than a year, and the nobles would definitely not agree to a pardon so soon.

"But if the Leylin family is not pardoned, how can a genius like Lemorton Leylin be used by me? The kingdom needs such talents!"

King James said that he has been a cowardly king for more than 30 years, and he really wants to make some achievements and changes, but the nobles are always against him, and countless reform plans have been put on the shelf. The endless sadness of old age.

Even before he could fully play the card of the Leylin family, he was suppressed by the nobles.

suffocated.

Endless aggrieved.

The Lemerton Leylin that his uncle was talking about now gave him a little hope.

A little hope for change.

But my uncle also said that that kid has a huge chest and a huge structure, and it is impossible to stay in the Yadude Kingdom for a long time. If he wants to accept him for the royal family, he must come up with something that can win him over.

Or give him some favors, let him engrave them in his heart, and repay him wholeheartedly.

For example, pardoning the Leylin family.

but……

Roberts shook his head, this may not be useful, because the Leylin family was exiled for the benefit of the royal family, and the royal family was ashamed of the Leylin family.

Besides, the pardon of the Leylin family is not useful just by King Jaime's words. If the nobles don't nod, no one will carry out the king's forced pardon.

This kingdom is no longer the king's kingdom.

What should I do?

King Jaime looked sad and angry. Could it be that it is so difficult for him to recruit a talent for the royal family?
He already has gray hair all over his head. Could it be that there is no hope of revitalizing the Thurbert family until he dies?
"We can only send people to send some property first to appease the Leylin family who were exiled in the south, and then send some high-powered swordsmen to protect their safety and prevent accidents."

"The revival of the royal family may really need the help of the Leylin family. In the past 300 years, this family has sacrificed three times for the royal family. Although they all failed, they have won a lot of benefits for the royal family and enhanced the king's authority."

"Even now, the hope of the royal family still rests with the Leylin family."

"Except for the Leylin family, we can't find another family that is absolutely loyal to the king. Those greedy nobles are only loyal to themselves."

"The Leylin family must not perish. No matter what the price is, the royal family must keep them!"

"There is also Lemorton Leylin. Although he is only 17 years old, he is a genius, a genius who not only knows how to make potions, but also knows many things!"

"He must be used by us. Even if he is not in the Yadude Kingdom, we must vigorously develop his so-called 'medicine export industry' with his help... If this can bring huge benefits to the royal family, we should do our best support!"

"Perhaps, that kid's saying is correct: Money can do 9999 out of [-] things. As long as the royal family has enough money, the king will have enough authority!"

said Roberts, repeating a famous quote the kid told him.

"As long as the royal family has enough money, does the king have enough authority?"

King Jaime murmured under his breath.

Eyes are getting brighter.

Makes sense.

Makes sense.

……

In this way, Zhou Ming officially entered the sight of King James and became the target of his focus.
