"Let's do this. First, find people who have knowledge of glass, ceramics, brewing, and smelting. Separate them from their original relationships. If the demon possessor has experience, separate his family and send them away. "Go to the place where it is needed." Lant thought while making a decision. "Among the remaining people, you first select some who have similar ideas to yours and are capable, and send them to Yeqi City. I will ask Nancy and Wendy and the others will educate you first and then send them back to you as your assistants."
"No problem, then what do I need to do here?" Lanya asked.
"Our western border is the Iowa Pass, which is adjacent to the territory of the orcs. I estimate there will be a war this year. My idea is to build a fortress on the western border. It may be necessary to move some of the population there. You need to move this place We will distribute it among the people in the territory, some will be sent to Yeqi City, some will stay here to maintain iron ore production, and some will go to the western border in the future."
"I understand," Lanya nodded, "Sir, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage as many people as I did in the salt mine. These people are not familiar to me, and it's even less possible for me to manage them as well as I did in the salt mine before. "Xiao Xing, I think you should train some consuls from among the knights as soon as possible."
"Training consuls? I thought too, it's not that easy!" Lant said with a grimace. He knew that Lanya was telling the truth. Even though every demon-wisher in the iron mine respected her enough, But most people stay under Laniya's hands for at most a month, and then go their separate ways.
"Yeqi City is too big, and ordinary post stations are too small. You can start with iron ore and salt mines. Those who think it is reliable can ask them to go to larger inns, such as West 7th Post Station, and then come to iron ore, Salt mine management, if there is no problem, try a certain department in Yeqicheng." Lanya's words gave Lant a great inspiration. After staying with Barbarian for too long, Lant also gave up thinking on many issues. , and even forgot this common training method in my hometown.
Lant's time in the iron mine was very limited. If he didn't have to send the big goblin to the West 10th Station, Lant even planned to go back and forth between the iron mine and Ye Qicheng on the same day. Lanya took advantage of this precious opportunity to take Lant to visit various facilities and buildings throughout the iron mine.
"In the few days we have been here, everyone has put forward a lot of opinions about various facilities in the castle, including the mining area and iron smelting area. There are also many places in Alozhag that need to be modified by Elsa. I estimate that you will have to wait two days. It takes genius to send her to Petreu.”
The two of them were talking while visiting the iron mine. Whether it was in the mine or the cave, every demon-free person or demon-loving person would smile and say hello to Laniya. Only Peter followed them far behind, showing that He looks like the captain of the knights.
Seeing the girl in front of him who had been working hard for the territory, but whose married life was very bad, Lant suddenly couldn't bear it, "How are you now? Does Pete still have the same look on his face every day?"
"Why are you concerned about my affairs? Don't worry, Peter is very good at reading the lord's face. We can get along." Lanya smiled. After so many years, she has long been used to it. The devil girl can't decide her own destiny no matter where she goes. Now that she has met Lant, she is very lucky to have a world.
"Pete!" Lant called out to Pete Maned Wolf, "You stay here and manage the entire territory, especially Lanya, take good care of her!"
"Don't worry, sir. I will never let the consul have any problems." Peter still had a playful smile on his face. He knew in his heart that now that there were several high-ranking knights in the territory, he could still be left to work in the iron mines. One side is guarding, this is the contribution of Lanya beside him.
The two quickly arrived at the renovated iron ore mining area. The mining environment here was much better than before. The three great fairies had taken action to open up a number of mining tunnels and strengthened the stable structures inside the tunnels, allowing the lignite to mine. The mine is directly exposed. On the other hand, under the command of the dwarves, some old mine carts and mine tunnels were repaired in the iron mine, which greatly improved the efficiency of ore transportation.
"Sir? Why are you here?" The dwarf Alozag saw Lant and his party and ran over directly. He is the apprentice of Imqavi Bronzenail and is now an apprentice rune master.
"Come here to see you. Are there any difficulties here now?" Lant asked, patting the dwarf on the shoulder.
"Sir, I need dwarves and iron. I have discovered a large amount of magic black iron in two lanes, and even some associated crystal stones. It is expected that a large amount of it will be mined this year!" Alozag assured, patting his chest. road. "In addition, the current mine tunnel is too short. If you give me 20 more half-dwarf blacksmiths, I will be able to connect the mine tunnel directly from the iron mine to the dock within this year!"
"First of all, no matter how fast you strike iron, it is not as fast as the unified casting of the New Industrial Zone. Not to mention that I have bought a batch of decommissioned tracks from the factory in the imperial capital and will be able to deliver them soon." Lant said with a smile, even if there are With the second-hand rails, new rail production has been launched. The dwarf and the two magic goblins went to the new industrial zone for this purpose. "I know that in your opinion, it is much more convenient to cast iron on site, but casting it here requires coal." But the new area is twice as big, and you don’t have enough coal, so it’s useless just to strike iron quickly.”
"Sir, I think the orcs will sell us coal, otherwise they can't eat briquettes by themselves, right?" The dwarf naturally knows that the fuel in the mine is tight now, but he believes that the orcs will provide coal according to the contract in previous years.
"Fuel is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it is not just iron ores that need tracks, but also salt mines and coal mines." Lant looked at the unpowered mine carts in the mine, his eyes shining brightly, "And Yeqi City also needs it, from the mountains in the west to the border in the east!"
In the smelting area, magic-guided black iron and ordinary pig iron are being mixed in a huge furnace according to a certain proportion. The outer wall of the furnace is covered with many runes. There is also a huge magic circle on the floor of the furnace. The liquid metal coming out will be in the smelting area. After cooling in the mold, they become rune board base plates with excellent magic-guiding capabilities. These base plates are also transported by ship to Dragon Tooth City, where they are plated with mithril and become real rune boards. Most of the rune boards made will return to the Galloping Horse Plains and serve as indispensable magic tools in the daily lives of barbarians and orcs.
Of course, in addition to smelting on-site, a large amount of black iron ore will be transported directly to the many workshops in Dragon Tooth City. Medium and high-level magic pattern weapons require a considerable proportion of magic-guided metal. The magic workshops of each big family All have unique ore processing techniques.
