I'm Crowdfunding an Empire in Another World

"Perhaps we can establish a nation here." Under the gaze of a motley crowd, Xia Lan O'Gullos planted the Ink Sea Dragon Banner on Bolavis, which was still a desolate island. No one beli...

Chapter 61 Conference

"Beneath the deep black,

The magma roars,

People of Yerugel, please listen carefully.

The Dwarf King was moved with pity.

He gave life to Imenar,

But it wasn't that person who woke up.

He is the god of death in hell.

..."

Lie Molten Hammer sang an ancient and heavy ballad while swinging the blue-veined steel hammer in his hand. Every blow of the hammer, which was flashing with red runes, drove the runes on the hammer into the forged steel-veined heavy sword.

"That's enough, boy. Give your sword some blood."

Upon hearing this, Acaris, who had been assisting Lie Molten Hammer, cut his palm without hesitation, and blood dripped onto the heavy sword with silver patterns on it.

"Sizzle~"

The temperature of the red-hot heavy sword slowly dropped, and the red runes flickered faintly for a few times before disappearing completely.

"Okay, if I find other exotic gold, I'll melt it in for you. Next one."

Acaris put on the battle armor with mithril added and runes engraved on it, and felt that not only the transmission of fighting spirit was smoother and the loss was lower, but also the attack power of the weapon was significantly enhanced.

After thanking him respectfully, he left the blacksmith shop with the little lion behind him.

Lie wiped the sweat from his head and sat on a chair to rest. Seeing this, Gao Luan beside him carefully handed him a cup of black tea.

When a dwarf came and occupied his blacksmith shop, Gao Luan was a little unconvinced. However, after seeing his superb forging skills, the old blacksmith immediately wanted to worship Lie as his master. However, Lie refused, but allowed him to learn from him.

The next person to come in was a red-haired boy. He threw a bag of blue-veined steel ingots beside the stove, took out a piece of mithril the size of a fingernail and threw it to Lie, saying coldly: "The armor should be light, and the weapons are a bow and a short sword."

Lie did not drive the boy out because of his indifference. There are all kinds of weird people here. There was a big guy in Acaris before who talked all the time. He almost smashed his mouth with a hammer. It would be nice to have someone who doesn't talk much this time.

"Instead of melting mithril and engraving runes on the weapon, are you just forging a new weapon? That's a bit troublesome, but if it's a bow, it's a good time to try out the wind rune I just learned."

Lie stretched his muscles and prepared to start, but before he could do anything, someone came to tell him that His Majesty wanted him to have a meeting with Gao Luan.

"It's okay, I'll wait."

After Luo Wei finished speaking, he made way, which made Lie's favorability towards this red-haired boy even higher. He was quiet and sensible.

temple of truth,

With the participation and assistance of extraordinary people and dragons, this temple that can accommodate 30,000 people was finally completed. The reason why it is called "roughly" is that the patterns and relief murals of the temple are not carved, and it is very rough. There is only a 16-meter-high stone in the temple, and there is no shadow of the statue.

But there is no rush for this matter. The main task now is to build spacious and comfortable houses for the people. Seeing that the king and the pope are not in a hurry, they will not be in a hurry either. After all, they have the truth in their hearts, so it doesn’t matter where they worship. They can just polish it slowly. Even if they polish it for more than a hundred years without belief, it will still not be completed.

After Xia Lan came back, he traveled around for a few days and learned about the development of Faox in the two months since he was away. He then held this meeting specifically.

In addition to several mages, the meeting was attended by nearly three hundred people, including all patrol captains, militia officers, all members of the Knights Templar, capable representatives, etc.

"In a few days, Captain Kanu Nepal will sail east to explore a new route. Before the route opens, we must prepare sufficient cargo. Not only wine, but also refined salt, paper, glass, porcelain, soap and other products.

These productions will be carried out under the new cabinet, and the first cabinet Prime Minister will be Melvin.

Everyone had no objection to Xia Lan's nomination of Prime Minister. Although Melvin did not charge into battle like Frederick, Varian and others, he was the first to pull the plow into the field and turn over the land of Bolavis during the reclamation.

When Xia Lan was not around, everyone would ask him to arrange for someone to solve their problems.

"Your Majesty, this seems to require a large number of mages. We have less than ten mages in total. And we have to make paper. We don't even have sheep. Do we have to catch wild goats?"

Xia Lan pointed out that refined salt was a luxury used by the nobles and needed to be refined by mages. Soap was something she had never heard of. The paper used in the Atrium World was also parchment, which required a large amount of sheepskin. Bolavis only had some wild goats, which was not enough.

As for the porcelain fired by Xia Lan, everyone believed that such exquisite things must be difficult to make. The packaging of the "Tears of Blood" and brandy, which are worth more than gold, is so successful, and the porcelain bottles for the wine account for a large part of it.

There is no porcelain in the atrium world, and the only glass is colored glass. The nobles use gold and silver utensils and transparent crystal cups, and ordinary people are lucky to be able to use ceramic bowls.

"Don't worry, I have the knowledge to make these things without using supernatural powers, and I will send it to you when the time comes.

Next, Faox will establish a Privy Council. The strategic planning, logistics, military courts, and other matters of the national army will be handled by the Privy Council. I will be in charge of it personally, and Frederick will serve as the Chief of Staff to assist me.

However, the training and replenishment of the army will be the responsibility of the Navy and War Departments of the Cabinet, and Goode will be the first Secretary of War."

As soon as the words fell, it caused a lot of discussion. People did not object to the system proposed by Xia Lan, but to the choice of Minister of War. Before, Frederick served as Minister of War, and Faox was a makeshift team with unclear powers, and no one took it seriously. Now Faox has a bit of the semblance of a country, but it let a violent orc be Minister of War.

They were not discriminating against the orcs, but they all felt that this appointment was inappropriate. Good was like a real soldier on the battlefield, but after the war, he was like a powder keg, a real grumpy old man.

"Alright, Kannepal will be the Minister of the Navy, Lie will be the Minister of Industry, Gao Luan will be the Deputy Minister, and Taigwen will be the Minister of Civil Engineering..."

After assigning the ministers and their respective powers, Xia Lan began to distribute the tasks of the large-scale production. He also reserved several ministerial positions as rewards for those who made significant contributions to this large-scale production.

After the three-hour meeting, everyone dispersed, and a vigorous mass production campaign began in Dawn City...
