Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 293 290. Iron Ore Production
"How about this, first find out those who have knowledge of glass, pottery, brewing, and smelting, and separate them from the original relationship. If the demon possessor has experience, separate his family and send Go to the place where it is needed." Rand made a decision while thinking, "Among the remaining people, you first pick some who are similar to your ideas and have good abilities, and send them to Yeqi City. I will let Nancy and Wendy and the others educate them first, and then send them back to you as assistants."

"No problem, what do I need to do here?" Leniya asked.

"Our western border is the Iowa Pass, which is next to the territory of the orcs. I think 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. Some of them 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," Laniya nodded, "My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle them anymore if there are more people in the future. These people are not familiar with me, and it's even less likely that I will handle them like I did in the salt mine before." Meticulous, I think you should train some consuls from among the knights as soon as possible."

"Training consuls? I think so too. How easy is it!" Rand said with a bitter face. He knew that Laniya was telling the truth, even though every demon possessor in the iron mine respected her enough, But most of them stayed under Lenny's hands for a month at most, and then went their separate ways.

"Yeqi City is too big, and ordinary post stations are too small. You can start with iron ore and salt mines. If anyone feels reliable, let them go to a larger post station, such as West 7 post station, and then come to iron mines, salt mines, etc. Salt mine management, if there is no problem, try a certain department in Yeqi City." Laniya's words gave Lant a lot of inspiration, and the time spent with the barbarians was too long, Lant also gave up thinking on many issues , I even forgot this common training method in my hometown.

Rand's time in the iron mine is very limited. If he didn't want to send the big goblin to West 10 Station, Rand even planned to go back and forth between the iron mine and Yeqi City on the same day.Laniya took this precious opportunity to show Rand around the various facilities and buildings in the entire iron mine.

"In the few days we have been here, everyone has put forward a lot of opinions about the various facilities in the castle, the mining area and the iron smelting area, and there are also many places in Alozag, which need to be revised by Elsa. I guess you wait two It took genius to send her to Petraeu."

The two talked while visiting the iron mine. No matter in the mine or in the cave, every non-monster or possessor would greet Lania with a smile. Only Pete followed them far away, showing Looks like the leader of the knight team.

Looking at the girl in front of me who has been working hard for the territory, but her married life is very bad, Rand suddenly couldn't bear it, "How are you doing now? Does Pete still have that face every day?"

"My lord, I need dwarves and iron. I have found a large amount of magic black iron in the two lanes, and even some accompanying crystals. It is expected to be mined in large quantities this year!" Alozag assured, patting his chest. road. "Besides, the current mine tunnel is too short. If you give me 20 more half-dwarf blacksmiths, I can connect the mine tunnel directly from the iron mine to the dock this year!"

The two soon arrived at the iron ore mining area after the transformation. The mining environment here is much better than before. The previous three big goblins took action and opened up a number of mining roadways, which strengthened the stable structure inside the roadway, allowing the limonite Mine is directly exposed.On the other hand, under the command of the dwarves, some mine carts and mine roads left in the iron mine were repaired, which greatly improved the efficiency of ore transportation.

"Peter!" Rant called out to Pete Maned Wolf behind him, "Stay here and manage the entire territory, especially Leniya, take care of her!"

"First of all, no matter how fast you forge iron, it is not as fast as the unified casting in the new industrial zone, not to mention that I have already bought a batch of decommissioned tracks from the imperial capital, and they will be delivered soon," Lante said with a smile. The second-hand rails have been purchased, and the production of new rails has been rolled out. The dwarves and the two magic goblins went to the new industrial zone for this reason, "I know that in your opinion, casting iron in situ is much more convenient, but casting here requires coal. But the new area is twice as large, you don’t have enough coal, and it’s useless to strike iron.”

"My lord? Why are you here?" The dwarf Alozag saw Lant and his party and ran over directly. He is the apprentice of Imkawi Copper Nail and is now an apprentice rune master.

"Come here to see you, is there any difficulty here?" Lante patted the dwarf's shoulder and asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will never let the Consul have any problems." Pete still had a playful smile on his face. He knew in his heart that now that there were several high-level knights in the territory, he could still be placed in the iron mine as a One side is guarding, this is the credit of Laniya beside him.

"Why do you care about my affairs? Don't worry. Pete is very good at seeing the face of the lord. The two of us can make do." Leniya smiled. After all these 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 Lante, she is very lucky to have a world.

"My lord, I think the orcs will sell us coal, otherwise they can't eat coal briquettes by themselves?" The dwarf naturally knew that the fuel in the mine was tight, but he believed that the orcs would provide coal according to the previous year's contract.

"Fuel is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it is not only iron mines that need rails, but also salt mines and coal mines." Lante looked at the unpowered mine carts in the mine, his eyes sparkled, "and Yeqi City also needs it, from the mountains in the west to the border in the east, all need it!"

In the smelting area, Daomo black iron and ordinary pig iron are being mixed in a huge furnace according to a certain ratio. The outer wall of the furnace is covered with many runes, and there is a huge magic circle on the ground of the furnace. After cooling in the mold, it becomes the bottom plate of rune plates with excellent magic guiding ability. These base plates will be transported to Dragon Tooth City by boat, where they will be plated with mithril to become real rune plates.Most of the rune plates made will be returned to the Galloping Horse Plain as an indispensable magical tool in the daily life of the barbarians and orcs.

Of course, in addition to on-site smelting, there are still a large amount of black iron ore that will be directly transported to the numerous workshops in Dragon Tooth City. Medium and high-level magic pattern weapons require a considerable proportion of magic metal. Each has a unique ore processing method.
