Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 474: Weird development path

readx(); Heimland, Myr City, the seasons change as usual, and time still flows. Sunshine, rain, and warm winds repeat as they have been established for thousands of years, and they don't yet know what change is.

But the inhabitants of Heimland are already feeling the rapid changes.

The Rift is now a monster, devouring dirt and ore with its jaws open, and digesting it in a stomach full of fire and alchemical preparations, yielding countless metals and gems. With the help of Myr's energy core and the high-level creation magic circle, the workshops in the Rift Valley have caught up with the smelting ability of Mora's top, and it is just around the corner to surpass it. The craftsmanship and product quality of the dwarves are still above Heimland, but they still have to rely on the help of various auxiliary medicines, and in the Rift Valley, the high-level creation circle has wiped out almost all production costs.

The craftsmen have the most direct feelings about the creation circle, and everyone knows in their hearts that a workshop without this circle will not be able to compete with its peers. Although the method of making the magic circle is in the hands of the mages of the Federation, it is impossible to understand without years of study, but how to control the magic circle is not so difficult, it only needs to be higher than the skills of the apprentice of the mages.

It also takes one to two years to fully cultivate your own apprentices, but what about apprentices of craftsmen who only learn how to manipulate the magic circle of creation? At present, the fastest record in Heimland is three months - provided that you can read and write, and can do simple calculations - which is acceptable for each workshop. As a result, a large number of people who signed up filled the hall of the Magic Academy, and "Magic Craftsman" became the most sought-after job in Heimland.

Teaching specialized magic craftsmen does not require comprehensive training, and it is sufficient to use the knowledge of apprentice mages. So Siegel opened a special school in addition to the magic school, and taught at night. Qualified apprentice mages can earn some tuition here, and the apprentices of craftsmen will not delay their day work. Siegel can only point out a piece of land, and then provide the school with the food needed for a simple late-night snack, and he has harvested hundreds of loyal magic craftsmen.

The prices of all handicraft products in Heimland were falling rapidly, but by resale of these things, great fortunes could be made elsewhere. The teleportation array from Rift Valley to Rabbit's Ear Port is open every day. Who can seize this time to deliver the goods needs to bid. This teleportation array spawned a new industry: time auctions. Using standardized cargo boxes, through special conveyor belts, can greatly improve the efficiency of passing through the conveyor door. Then every half hour is a time period, which is provided for a caravan to deliver their goods. There are ten times a day leading to Rabbit Ear Harbor. Return from Tuer Harbor in ten time periods. The place is full every day, and those who do not bid successfully can only accept a one-month land journey.

Unlike live animals or agricultural products, for handmade products, a one-month delay does little to detract from the value, and there is no need to pay high tolls for it. But now that businessmen are willing to bid and push prices up. It must have been calculated. After connecting the two places with the help of the teleportation array, there is no need to consider the carrying capacity of the carriage. The goods of hundreds of carriages can reach the destination directly in half an hour, which is not the cost of a single trip. In order to make full use of the teleportation array, small caravans began to merge, and large chambers of commerce began to appear one after another. And "Bucktooth" Johnny has formed a giant chamber of commerce to serve Siegel.

After arriving at Tuer Port, Heimling's products will be delivered to the ship, and then transported to the eastern mainland day and night. The fleet is always busy. Merchants heard about the Trans-Sea Teleportation Array and inquired about its functions and charges everywhere. In order to protect the navigation industry, Siegel set a very high cost for the teleportation array, but there are still businessmen who choose this method. Using the teleportation array, you are not afraid of bad weather, and you can also avoid the threat of orc pirates. After the fall of Waterdeep, the growing pirates severely affected the shipping routes to the north. Now this influence is gradually going south, and the Ximu Town route is beginning to feel the pressure, but Tuer Harbor is further south, and the orcs rarely come to this area.

"They will come sooner or later." Siegel has a very clear understanding of this: "The shipping route of Rabbit Ear Port accounts for about 70% of the transportation volume of the New World. And it is still increasing. One voyage can make the orcs earn money. It's a lot of fun, and they'll slowly realize it."

"Do we still want to build a navy?" Janet was full of account books, which was the conclusion data that Dengshen III was specially used for calculation and sorting. The Heim's Territory is expanding day by day, and it is completely impossible for one or two people to grasp the massive amount of information. This places higher demands on all aspects of territorial management. Janet searched for a while, and finally found the balance of gold coins in the territory: "I'm very happy to tell you that there is no problem in terms of money to build an **** fleet. It's enough for us to buy a fleet directly, but how can we qualify? Sailors? If we let adventurers board the ship to fight orc pirates, or we recruit some human pirates as escorts, then this cost will be greatly increased.”

"On the one hand, it has a good relationship with the Royal Navy of the Star Kingdom, and on the other hand, it is mainly about recruiting security." Siegel came over and looked at the balance of the income of the territory against Janet's face, and was very satisfied with this figure: "Looks like I can have a blast!"

"You must build something again?" Janet stroked Siegel's face lightly, and then said: "Building castles, towers, energy cores, and teleportation arrays are all your ideas. Can you listen to my opinion?"

"Okay, go ahead!" Siegel said with a smile.

"I am very envious of the Federation's magic spaceship, and Heimland needs to build one of those spaceships."

This coincides with Siegel's idea: "I think so too, we can't give up the sky field." He said: "The Federation built the first spaceship, and it is estimated that when they fly back from the Eastern Continent, it will be very soon. About to start building the second one for the Starry Kingdom. Their experience can save us from taking a lot of detours, and from the beginning the design of the Heimland ship will be better than theirs. Plus I won't be as conservative as them, so You can look forward to the departure of the Lucky South."

"It's already named. Is it the name of the ship you used to?"

"I can't think of a better name for the ship." Siegel said, kissing his wife lightly, "Or the returning Janet, or the charging Isaac?"

"As you like." Janet was happy as long as Siegel was around. "By the way, there is something very strange, you may need to pay attention."

Heim's Territory is a very deformed development to a certain extent, and industrial products that should have gathered more workloads have become extremely cheap. Every household can enjoy it. This doesn't change the rate at which the inhabitants of Heimland get food from the fields, though. The great frontier of Ghost Mist Swamp has provided a lot of new farmland, which supports the food pressure brought about by the increasing immigrant population. However, despite the bumper harvest, food prices in Heimland are still rising.

"That's not right. How much can one person eat?" Siegel scratched his head, looking at the market item price report submitted by Deng Shen.

"On the one hand, the active manufacturing and commerce have made too much gold coins, so everything is going up in price. The workshops in the Rift Valley belong to your industry, so you can control how much you produce and how you sell them. But the farmland is scattered in Various villages. How many knights are responsible for managing the fiefs? Once the price of something goes up, driven by money, the knights will change their planting strategies. This has caused a certain amount of waste, and it is likely to be It will get better in the future.”

Siegel understood immediately after hearing it. He can make weapons and armor on the assembly line, and even some temporary magic items that can only operate within the range of the Myr core can be directly made, but he can't use the assembly line to produce food. The harvest in the fields has always been so much. While a lot of wealth has entered the Heim Territory, there will be countless people watching, trying to find ways to earn these gold coins back. In terms of planting, breeding and fishing, the development of Heimland has not kept pace with its own magical industry. This will become a hidden danger in the future.

"They may not want our steel products, but we have to eat." Siegel thought about it, and then said: "Although it is not really impossible to eat, too much fluctuation in prices is never a good thing. Ghost fog Haven’t the lands in the southern part of the swamp been allocated yet? All of them are reserved as fields directly under Myr City. People who have already opened up wasteland there ask them if they are willing to work directly for me?”

"Are you going to hire people to farm your land on a large scale like a workshop hires apprentices?" Janet shook her head and objected: "If this practice spreads, the feudal lords will take all the original farmers' land, and then It will become an employment relationship. It will definitely cause big trouble. Will people who have lost their own land still be willing to plant? Wouldn’t it be better to go to a workshop and become a labor union? Wouldn’t the concentrated land be more valuable for planting? Look at the commodity price list. The price of sheep has risen seven times compared to the past because of the lack of raw materials in the textile workshop. The knights will definitely raise sheep, which is much more profitable than farming."

People who lost their land also brought instability, but the exact reaction was beyond Siegel's grasp. It's like a boy growing normally, suddenly his head and right arm start to grow like crazy, how can he get the rest of his body to keep up. So that there will be no problems due to deformity, which is not a simple thing.

A long-term solution has not yet been found, and the work of farm labor can be put aside, but the land in the south of the Ghost Mist Swamp has become directly under the city of Myr, and is no longer included in the scope of wasteland occupation. At the same time, Siegel ordered the construction of a granary~www.readwn.com~ and secretly used a cross-sea teleportation array to transport easily stored food from the Eastern Continent. He also submitted a new project to the Federation: dig a warehouse deep underground, keep it below freezing point with a magic circle powered by Myr energy, and use it to store meat products - while the current price is still No rapid improvement.

Heim had to deal with so many things that Siegel never dared to say he enjoyed it. There are too many new problems to solve, and new questions arise in the process of solving them. He was as cautious as possible, supporting the development of Heimland as carefully as he would a newborn. In this case, even if His Majesty Evan did not approve the "Small Council", Siegel would secretly establish one so that he could get away from the endless lord work.

Mana announced that she would renounce the management of her own territory, only to take part in the net income of the tax, and then joined the small council. Then came Janet, Janice, and Humke. In order to meet the conditions put forward by Evan, Siegel specially created a lamp **** that cannot cast spells and placed it in the small council. Dengshen No. 4 has powerful computing power and information analysis ability, can work day and night, and greatly reduce the hardship of others.

Then, Siegel could finally breathe a sigh of relief and become a magician. (To be continued.)
