Chapter 291
The old blacksmith nodded said he understood, but he still had questions: “The 150-mile-long railroad track is assisted out, this is a good iron with a 150-mile-long length, someone or monster will come to steal us. The rails, these are all high-quality steel, if they are stolen, we will lose a lot…”
Robb laughed: “So, at first, it’s better to drive slowly, the driver sees the front The rails were stolen, and there was still time to stop quickly so as not to cause an accident. Then, quickly repair the rails, and the car can continue to go. As for those who dare to steal our rails, leave it to Chief Elsie, oh, no, It’s Captain Elsie to clean up, hahahaha.”
“What’s the use of supplementing such a long rail and mine cart to the source stone canyon?” The old blacksmith was very puzzled.
Robb said: “It’s useful, but I’m too lazy to explain, you’ll know it later.”
The old blacksmith heard Godfather put out the word lazy, then There’s nothing left to ask, Godfather who started lazy is just crazy, wanting him to explain to himself at length, that’s impossible.
He had to bow obediently and said, “Then I’ll go back and arrange for the apprentices to build the rails and the students in the carpenter class to make the sleepers. In addition, I’ll bring some of the best craftsmen to study how to make them. The locomotive.”
Robb said with a smile: “Okay, let’s do it as soon as possible. The most difficult part of the locomotive is the engine. Now that the engine has been fixed, there should be no other difficulties, and there is no need to pay attention to it. What a beautiful and elegant thing, anyway, it’s good to get a small train that can drive out first.”
“Okay!” After the old blacksmith saluted, he hurried away.
Robb was about to be lazy when he suddenly saw from a distance a slim silhouette walking over on the path in front of the church. It was actually the daughter of the Minister of the Palace.
This woman is No.1 of the top ten school flowers of the Magic Academy. She is quite beautiful, a gentle Water Element magician, but Robb looks at the crystal ball every day, the female Young Lady Wang, the Gran Kingdom Number one beauty is not a level stronger than the magic Academy No.1, so this poor school beauty has never been able to get into Robb’s eyes.
She walked to the front of the church, saluted Robb, and said respectfully, “Good evening, Godfather.”
Robb had to pretend not to know her, so she put on a pose. Zhang curious face: “Who are you?”
“I came from the road of light.” She respectfully said: “I came to greet you with my classmates at noon, but there were many people at that time. You probably didn’t notice me.”
“Oh oh oh!” Robb pretended to be enlightened: “What are you doing here with me?”
Palace Affairs The minister’s daughter’s face was slightly red: “Well, I… came to find Robert. I didn’t know anyone in Westwind Town, and I didn’t have any friends, so… I wanted to talk to him and take a walk with me.”
Only a ghost can take care of you. Robb deliberately put on an old-fashioned look, and turned on the preaching mode with a long voice: “What walks? You youngsters, you know how to be lazy! Do you practice magic spells? Do you have a good meditation on magic? Magic Talisman Wenji Are you familiar? Robert doesn’t have time to talk to you. He is crazily carrying the Wind Element magic book in the church, and he wants to play with him. As his mentor, I won’t let him play with you ignorant and incompetent bad children. !”
Daughter of the Minister of the Palace: “…”
frozen!
After dozens of seconds, she bowed her head aggrievedly: “Then I’m leaving! Godfather is disturbed.”
She turned and left, and the setting sun made her lonely The back of the old man was dragged, and he looked desolate.
Robb is happy in his heart: Hey! A two-wire operation is avoided.
Just as I was thinking of this, another silhouette came up in the distance. It was actually Marianne. She passed the daughter of the minister of the palace, walked to the door of the church, and gave Robb Yingying a salute: “Godfather , good evening.”
Robb cursed inwardly, another one?
But it’s okay, no matter how many you come, just block to death.
“You’re here to find Robert, too?” With a serious face, he repeated the same lines he had just said to the daughter of the minister of the palace, and finally added One sentence: “You bad children, don’t interfere with Robert’s study.”
“Hey? Godfather, you misunderstood.” Marianne smiled: “I didn’t come to find Robert, I just Partnership, on a personal level, I’ve never played with him, and I don’t have any special feelings.”
Robb Daqi: “Then what are you doing here?”
Marianne said with a slight smile: “I’m here to find you.”
Chapter 407 Ask me to do business
“Look for me?” Robb deliberately put his voice down Shen, old-fashioned, said: “Old man is not familiar with you, how can we chat?”
Listening to him calling himself an old man, Marianne did not complain, but showed a face of admiration: ” You are the greatest businessman I have ever seen. You can change everything from something rotten into something magical. My father often told me stories about how you cut cakes into eight and sixteen pieces and sold them in advance. The story of one-year fee and zero initial installation fee, as well as the advertising gameplay you taught my father, have benefited our Cotton family a lot…”
Robb: “…”
Marianne’s face is slightly red: “I adore you so much, I want to be your teacher like Robert, he learns Wind Element magic, and I learn business skills, okay?”
Robb: “…”
This is very embarrassing. It’s not that Robb refuses to teach people. When he is interested, he will teach the people around him all kinds of knowledge casually. However, if he is asked to be a teacher, system If you teach me how to do business, it won’t work. One is that he does not have this mood, and the other is that he does not have this ability.
Being a teacher is a university question. In this world, there are many people who are full of talents but can’t teach people. Besides, Robb doesn’t think he is very talented. What he knows is borrowed from later generations. All kinds of messy business common sense that came over.
Robb shook his head: “I don’t teach, I don’t teach! I’m not familiar with you. You came to visit your unfathomable mystery, and I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”
Marianne said: “I I’ll pay a huge tuition fee.”
Robb continued to shake his head: “I’m not short of money.”
Marianne is very uncomfortable now, her little mouth pouting pitifully Up, wronged Bara turned to go.
Robb felt a little sympathetic when he saw her pitiful appearance. After thinking about it, when I first went to Magic Academy, this girl took care of herself quite a bit. She asked for money for money and materials for materials.
What can I teach her without costing myself as easy as pie? At the same time, the spread of this stuff can improve this world!
“Ah! I got it!” Robb suddenly opened the mouth and said: “Marian, I don’t have time to teach you business slowly, but it’s okay to lay the foundation for you, I want to ask Ask, people in your family often need to do a large number of calculations, right?”
Hearing Robb’s greeting, Marianne turned her head in delight: “Yes, we often have to settle accounts.”

“Then, what method do you use to calculate mathematics?”
Marianne cheered up and beckoned to the servant who was following behind. came over and placed it on the table in front of Robb.
Robb took a closer look. This thing is a large wooden board with several parallel lines drawn on it. There are also many counters like “chess pieces” on it. Each counter is made of copper. , about two or three centimeters in diameter, and marked with Arabic numerals from 0 to 9.
Marian put these counters on the wooden board and said with a smile: “This is a threading abacus, and the Cotton family uses it to settle accounts. It’s very fast.”
“oh?” Robb was very interested, and asked a simple math problem casually. Seeing that Marianne was quickly arranging the calculator on the wooden board, after a while, she calculated all the problems he gave.
She was a little proud: “Godfather, I’m pretty fast, right? Sir Father trained me to use the threading abacus since I was a child. My calculation speed is faster than father! It’s the best in the Cotton family. Yes.”
Robb said with a smile: “Yes, you are really fast, but you are still not as fast as me, you are optimistic.”
Robb reached out and beckoned , took the object from the air, and a piece of wood flew over.
He rolled the wood into a big Chinese abacus. It turns out that this is a “decoration” produced by the carpenter in the game “Dark Blade”. This abacus is used for pure decoration on the back.
Robb took a few abacus lessons when he was in college. Although he was not very good at using abacus, he would still do it.
He set the abacus and said with a smile: “You said you are the best in the Cotton family, how can you do that, I’ll make you the best in the entire Gran Kingdom.”
Marianne looked at the abacus, confused: “This is it?”
“This is also an abacus.” Robb said with a smile: “Come, report the bill, I’ll come I’ll show you the calculation.”
Marianne looked puzzled, looked at a string of beads, didn’t know what it meant, but of course there was no problem in reporting the bill, she just rushed into the account and out of the account, and the purchase cost Xgold coin, I earned Xgold coin for shipping… slap bang, super long bill.
Robb listened to her counting, and fiddled with the abacus beads in his hands. He fortunately didn’t forget the abacus lessons he took in college, but he managed to keep up with it. It’s embarrassing to fail. Fortunately, the liver emperor is the liver emperor. The first few abacus lessons were also obtained from the liver. It is not very skilled, but it is enough to abuse the Western “threading abacus”.
Marianne finished reporting the bills, and Robb just finished it, and stopped, pretending to be calm and clear: “The answer is that the final balance is 1032 gold coins, right? “
