Lord of Hyranza

'What, digging stones for one day can get enough food for 20 days. This is simply grabbing food. Why go hunting when there is such a good thing? '

The natives who learned about the salaries in the mines always think so...

As a result, this group of indigenous people formed a large reserve force.

They began to look forward to being able to become miners digging stones here one day.

Under such circumstances, the copper mine in Suldak expanded to [-] miners in just one month.

He suddenly realized that the tin can he made in Dodan Town was simply too small.

Then so much copper ore is mined from the veins every day, ground into ore powder one after another, soaked in iron pots and slowly deposited into copper sand...

Just after entering September, the copper mines began to produce copper sand one after another.

Although the amount of copper sand produced every day is not even enough to pay the salaries of the natives, but this copper mine is beginning to generate income after all.

Suldak has already started preparing to build a larger pool near the mine near the mountain stream, and all the ore powder can be put into the pool by then.

The first batch of copper sand was born in such a process of construction and mining.

There are currently three blacksmith workshops in Duodan Town, and only one is good at making copperware. The copper sand in Suldak does not even need to be sold to the merchant group, and the copperware shops here can directly eat it.

The first batch of ten tons of heavy copper sand was sold for forty gold coins.

It sounds like ten tons of copper sand, but the amount seems huge.

In fact, only twenty small bags were packed in linen sacks for grain, packed into two large wooden boxes, and transported to the town of Dodan.

Afterwards, Suldak replaced it with wheat flour and some daily necessities from Dodan Town and transported them back to the mining camp. The wheat flour filled the shelves of eighteen Thunder Rhinoceros.

When they arrived at the mining camp, the aboriginal miners stood on the ridge, watching the Thunder Rhino loaded with goods stop in front of the warehouse to unload, and then they went to the stream to drink water and eat beans, and they cheered deafeningly on the mountain.

In any case, the labor they put in these days has finally paid off.

In September, Surdak spent nearly [-] gold coins to pay these native miners, but his income was only [-] gold coins.

The only wealth that can be seen is the mountains of copper ore on the mines.

……

The magicians in Wilkes City have been paying attention to the upstart of the Luthor Legion in the northern region—Suldak. When they heard that the first batch of copper sand in the copper mine of the Viscount Suldak was only ten Ton, even held a reception in Wilkes City for this.

It is said that the organizer of the reception happened to take out forty gold coins to hold this meeting.

There was even a magician at the reception who laughed at Viscount Suldak on the spot. After nearly two months of busy work, the copper sand was finally found out of the iron pot, which was only enough for a reception. This is really ridiculous...

But this time, the aristocratic lords of Wilkes lost their voices collectively. They didn't take the opportunity to join in the fun, and no one came to the magician's reception and took the opportunity to build relationships with them.

After all, this reception was just a mockery of Suldak by the wizarding community in Wilkes City.

……

This summer passed, and at the Magic Awakening Ceremony hosted by the Wilkes Magic Union, a total of 59 young people awakened from the magic pool and became magic nobles.

These young people who have just turned 12 years old are about to enter the Wilkes Junior Magic Academy to study.

Correspondingly, these 59 young magic apprentices will receive the baronies uniformly distributed by the province of Bena.

The Bailin plane is vast and sparsely populated, and has ample reserves of public territories.

This time, the senior management of the Magic Union deliberately arranged to arrange the baronies of these young people in the Invercargill Forest. The officials of the Territorial Administration were so angry that they wanted to give these magicians who were uncomfortable if they didn't cause trouble.

However, in accordance with the procedures, the 59 baronies still needed to be surveyed by surveyors to avoid a serious reduction in the size of the land to be rewarded.

Once the territorial area is seriously inconsistent with the actual land area, some officials of the Territory Administration will be punished, or they may be removed from office.

Although the surveying and mapping officer of the Territory Administration was very angry, he still wanted to show these young magic apprentices a look at their barony within the specified time limit.

Two-thirds of these young magic apprentices came from aristocratic families, and basically they all looked down on this border forest.

Another third of the magic apprentices were born in commoner families. These magic apprentices from commoner families are from ordinary families. They still care about owning a barony, and even want to move their family members to their own territory. When the time comes No matter what you do, at least you don't have to pay taxes.

……

A black-painted magic caravan passed through the south gate of Dodan Town and drove into this lively border town.

A group of young magic apprentices pushed the glass window of the carriage, revealing young and immature faces from inside. This group of magic apprentices, who are generally 12 years old, are the awakened ones this year.

They also came to the town of Dodan to receive the barony assigned to them by the province of Bena. This time, these magic apprentices were accompanied by their families when they traveled abroad.

Most of this group came from the area around Wilkes City, and many of them had never even heard of Dodan before.

Looking at the bustling town of Dodan, they showed joy and curiosity, and jumped off the magic caravan one by one, followed by their parents or other guardians.

Under the arrangement of the surveying and mapping officer of the Territorial Administration, these magic apprentices lived in a hotel in Dodan Town. Each of them had a separate room. Communicate with the hotel by yourself.

"Everyone rest in the town of Dodan for one night, and after breakfast in the hotel tomorrow morning, we will enter the Invercargill Forest through the Dodan Canyon." The surveyor said expressionlessly standing in the lobby of the hotel.

A group of people disbanded in the lobby of the hotel. While it was still early in the day, many parents prepared to go shopping with their pride.

Nowadays, copper wares are the most frequently placed on the commercial streets of the town, followed by some magic materials of ghost-striped red ants. Few vendors display red ant materials.

Of course, there are a variety of other products.

The town of Dodan has now become the largest market within a hundred miles nearby.

These parents took their children to wander around the town. What surprised them the most was that the bread in the town was so cheap. The bread sticks bought for two copper coins were so big that one stick could kill someone. Come back a scone bigger than your face!

"Although it's a bit remote here, the prices here are really good. I guess the salary here must be very low. If we can make money in Wilkes City, it would be comfortable to spend money here." A pair of young civilians The parents pulled their daughter and said with emotion.

Although their daughter looks mediocre, this year she stood out among more than 7 children who participated in the magic awakening ceremony test and officially became a magic apprentice.

The father of another magic apprentice who was traveling with them said triumphantly: "What's the problem! In the future, our child will have a barony near the town of Dodan. If the land is fertile, I plan to put The family moved to the baron, raised some horses, let them graze in the territory at will, and sold them for money at the end of the year, and they could live a comfortable life.”

"Keep your voice down, I heard that the territory allocated to us is a forest..." The woman pulled her husband to prevent him from chattering.

The father, obviously an optimist, immediately said, "The forest is nice, too! A lumber mill could be opened."

A group of people walked out of the bakery, and saw rows of neat new townhouses across the long street.

"Look over there, those houses are beautiful! I'm sure they've just been built..."

Chapter 905 Copper Mine

Surdak and Aung San were standing on the roof of the townhouse.

The housing reconstruction project in the slums has been completely completed, and the aborigines in the town have already lived in these small townhouses.

In the past few days, the imperial immigrants in the town who had been watching this incident finally came forward recently and kept looking for Mrs. Luna. Ask her to renovate their houses as well, and it is best to build that kind of beautiful townhouse.

Suldak called Aung San this time to discuss this matter.

The two of them stood on the second-floor terrace of the townhouse, discussing the feasibility of this matter. Mrs. Luna wanted to fight for some benefits for these imperial immigrants, rebuild the townhouse for free, and return the squeezed out land. all in town.

However, Aung San was not very interested in this matter, mainly because the construction of the townhouse this time required dealing with imperial immigrants.

Aung San is very prestigious on the side of the aborigines. He built these small townhouses, and no aborigine would jump out to find fault, but if he built small townhouses for those imperial immigrants, Aung San was not sure that they would not pick Problem, when the time comes to make trouble, it's better not to pick it up now.

Now the Temple of the Twin Goddess is about to be completely completed. Aung San plans to follow Suldak's plan. There is still a large area of ​​land south of the Dodan River to plan some more high-end residential areas. Although it will not be built immediately, it will be dug in advance. Draining the culverts, paving the road, planning the homestead, etc. These things are far simpler than rebuilding the imperial immigrant residential area.

Moreover, Aung San is also preparing to transfer some manpower to participate in the construction of the Invercargill Forest Copper Mine.

There are only so many aboriginal laborers in hand, and there is no way to spare extra manpower.

Suldak didn't say much after learning about these situations.

Seeing a few young magic apprentices standing on the street in the distance, Aung San smiled "hehe", and then said to Surdak:

"Mayor, I heard that some new neighbors have arrived near your territory."

His eyes fell on those magic apprentices, and he said:

"It seems to be these newly awakened magic nobles. When the Wilkes Magic Union allocated the baronies this time, they were all stuffed into the Invercargill Forest. Shall I privately inform the indigenous patriarchs and send They all squeezed away?"

Surdak turned his head and asked Aung San, "Why did you squeeze them away?"

"I think it would be nice to have some magician neighbors near the territory!"

Looking at those immature faces, Surdak smiled and said to Aung San:

"There are so many useless lands in the Invercargill Forest, rather than letting them go unused, it would be better for someone to develop them..."

After saying this, he just wanted to take a step to leave, but stopped after taking a step, patted Aung San on the shoulder and said:

"Oh, by the way, the sedimentation pond built by your people at the mine this time is very good! It should be done like this, leading the people in the town to create value together, and then improve everyone's living standards."

After finishing speaking, Suldak walked down the small townhouse slowly, along the noisy street, and walked towards the town hall.

Soon it disappeared into the crowd of people coming and going.

……

Entering the end of September, a large refining pool has been built beside the creek.

The pool is built like a swimming pool. The bottom and side walls of the pool are riveted with iron plates. In order to prevent the spliced ​​iron plates from leaking, the pool has undergone repeated leak tests.

Subsequently, a large amount of copper ore powder was pushed into the pool by the indigenous miners one by one.

Recently, five to six tons of copper sand can be extracted from the pond almost every day, and the mine has finally maintained a balance of income and expenditure.

However, due to the increase in the output of copper sand, so much copper sand cannot be eaten by the small copperware workshop in Dodan Town.

In fact, the blacksmith workshop is also aware of this problem. Their workaround is very simple, and they will smelt these copper sands in time to make copper ingots that are more convenient for transportation.

The Thunder Rhino caravan led by businessman Malacombe transported these copper ingots to Wilkes City.

However, Suldak knew that this was not a long-term solution. When the refining furnace customized from Hailansa arrived in Dodan Town, standard copper ingots could be extracted directly at the mine, and there was no need for blacksmiths at all. The workshop smelts copper ingots.

At that time, the blacksmith workshop will still have to return to the original way of making copper utensils.

As the Invercargill Copper Mine began to continuously deliver copper ingots to Wilkes City, the nobles of Wilkes City discovered that this copper mine had reduced the price of copper utensils in the city in one day. Thirty percent.

Many people who originally planned to stand aside and watch Suldak's good show have now shut their mouths.

They don't want to have any grievances with a noble lord, especially a lord who holds military power and keeps getting richer.

Everyone did not expect Suldak to move so fast. In just two months, the copper mine has already produced a large amount of copper sand.

Among them is Zazaks, the largest slave owner in Wilkes City. He has been feeling a little anxious recently, because the dwarven slave who was supposed to be sold to Viscount Suldak is currently on his way, and the Invercargill Copper Mine It seems that everything is on the right track over there. If the auction price is too high for these dwarf slaves, it is very likely that Suldak will not participate in the auction.

The wizards of Wilkes didn't throw any more ironic celebratory receptions this time around.

They were very upset with Viscount Suldak, and at most they called on people around them to boycott copperware, but even among magician aristocrats, there were not many families who could afford gold and silver vessels in Wilkes City.

Copperware is still an indispensable part of everyone's life. Compared with those cheaper sub-lead tin pots, many middle-class families like to buy copperware with better value preservation.

This time, the magic apprentices took over their baronies within the Invercargill Forest, and Viscount Suldak did not deliberately make things difficult for them because of his grievances with the Magic Union. At the same time, these territories did not deviate greatly from the notes on the map. The location and boundaries are extremely clear.

In particular, certain rivers in the forest are important water sources. Surdak did not rely on the advantage of "territory selection first" to include all rivers into his own territory. Many rivers exist as boundaries for territorial division.

The benefits of this are also obvious, so the small lords who will be assigned territories later can at least find water sources in their territories.

This kind of generous aristocratic style won the favor of some neutral-minded magicians for a while.

……

By October, the refining furnaces transported from High Lansa through normal channels passed through the portal smoothly and were piled up in the warehouse in Wilkes City.

Together with these three melting furnaces, which cost [-] gold coins, arrived in Wilkes City, as well as Victor, the magic assistant of the Ferdinand scholar.

Suldak hurried from Dodan Town to Wilkes City, where he joined the merchant Malakom and the magician Victor.

All the horses in Suldak's cavalry battalion had been strengthened with magic patterns, and the physique of each ancient horse was at least twice as strong as before. They could even march in a hurry all day without sleep.

Surdak galloped to Wilkes City with a cavalry squadron of 60 men. Only four days had passed since he received the news that Victor had arrived in Wilkes City.

Chapter 906

This kind of large-scale refining furnace enters the Bailin plane from Bena City, and the cross-plane transportation not only requires a large fee for crossing the portal, but Suldak personally rushed to Wilkes City this time mainly for the Get a readiness pass so you can avoid paying huge taxes in Wilkes City.

The Grimm Empire has always had very high taxes for this kind of cross-plane business trade, and the huge tax alone is almost worth a set of magic pattern construction.

For this reason, the businessman Malakom specially wrote to Suldak, saying that if these materials become military supplies, they can avoid taxes reasonably.

Suldak arrived at the military headquarters with a list of supplies, walked upstairs and downstairs, and got a stamped combat readiness pass.

Then he sat in Chester Great Swordsman's office for a while before leaving the military headquarters.

……

The warehouse of merchant Malacombe was built outside the city, in a not-so-big pasture.

There are dozens of thunder rhinos in the ranch. They gather together and leisurely nibble the staghorn grass on the ground along the grass slope.
