In order to maintain the lord's dignity, decorum, and credibility, a certain amount of ostentation is very necessary. Please follow the regulations of the first patriarch as soon as possible an...
Chapter 81 81. Meeting held It
was a dark night, with dark clouds covering the moon.
The raindrops falling quietly bring a biting chill.
People were awakened from their sleep.
The patrolling guards held torches and quickened their pace, and joined another group of people in front of Fulin Castle.
Anus, who was guarding the gate, suddenly raised his head.
The long and loud wolf howl pierced the night sky, and it was unknown how far it spread.
This has become an old problem. If it doesn't bark every night, it will feel uncomfortable all over.
The people of Fulinbao have long been accustomed to this.
Maybe I was a little scared at first, but now I just feel an inexplicable sense of security.
The ice wolf Anus's keen sense of smell and vigilance have been proven in the past.
As long as there is the presence of a wild beast within a hundred meters, it can react in time.
Although most of the time they are small wild animals, such as rabbits, mice, foxes and the like.
But you never know when you might encounter a ferocious beast.
Fulin Castle was once attacked by a wild bear, resulting in casualties.
Many veterans still remember it vividly.
Therefore, the role of Anus in security is generally recognized.
The only bad thing is that I eat too much. I have to eat a few fish every day, and some grains. On the fourth floor of Fulinbao.
Anus's cry woke up Misha from her meditation. She shook her head, retracted her mental power, and fumbled to get up from the bed.
In the spiritual world, there is no day or night.
Misha couldn't see either, so she could only judge by the sound.
When more and more people around you are talking, it is daytime.
On the contrary, when there is silence, it is late at night.
In order to acquire the ability of visual sharing as soon as possible, Mixia did not sleep every day and devoted herself to meditation. Her strength grew steadily and rapidly.
Except for the strange whispering sounds that appeared from time to time, everything was going well. In the early morning, a thick fog suddenly rose.
Thick fog quickly covered the surface of Moon Lake, and it was pitch white, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face.
The rain, as fine as cow hair, falls continuously.
The people who woke up braved the rain and went to work.
The bark, which had been cooked overnight, was almost melted. If you rubbed it gently with your fingers, it would become crumbs.
Lan Lan chopped the bark into small pieces on the chopping board, just like she was chopping meat. She put the chopped bark into a stone mortar, mashed it, and poured it into the pool.
The clear water surface was gradually covered with a layer of turbid fibers.
I reached out and stirred the water. After a long time of hard work, I finally finished it.
"Let's go down and find the young master now!" Lan Lan walked hurriedly.
Downstairs, meeting room.
The long crimson table was packed with people as far as the eye could see.
The end-of-month meeting is held today.
Representatives from all walks of life gathered here, including traditional manufacturing industries such as blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, and clothing, as well as service industries such as taverns and restaurants.
Lowe swung the gavel and struck the base, and the noisy meeting room immediately quieted down.
"First of all, one of the reasons for holding this meeting is that the newly established adventure town needs some technical personnel to assist in the construction. Of course, if you are willing to transfer your household registration there, I have no objection."
"Who would go to a place like that, with no houses and ferocious beasts and goblins?"
"Yeah, even a fool wouldn't go."
There was a burst of whispering and the volume in the conference room remained high.
Luo Wei knocked the gavel again: "I know you don't want to go, so I suggest you train a group of apprentices, and the apprentice candidates should be selected from the families who have opened up the land."
"Your lord is wise." Someone took the lead in praising him, and there was a series of echoes from the audience.
Luo Deer stood beside Luo Wei with an expressionless face, his eyes were indifferent, and his back was as straight as a sword.
I have to admit that she is very competent as a vase.
But sometimes they are a little disobedient. Lovi announced loudly: "The first batch of apprentices in each industry must not be less than ten people. If you have any opinions, you can raise them now!"
Everyone shook their heads.
The first decree went smoothly, and the second one. "The woodworking workshop will double the selling price of small wooden products from next month. Wood is in short supply now, and too many small wooden products are wasted."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This is the method that Lowe came up with to promote pottery as a substitute for wooden objects. Compared with issuing a one-size-fits-all decree to ban the sale of small wooden objects, raising prices and reducing cost-effectiveness have the same effect.
"My Lord, if this happens the profits of the carpentry workshop will drop significantly. Please be cautious." The representative of the carpentry workshop stood up and spoke.
Lovi said resolutely: "In the future, the territory will be frequently occupied, and wood and labor must be saved as much as possible. This is the general trend.
If you don’t have work in the future, you can negotiate with me to let you go.”
"Yes." The person in charge of the woodworking workshop leaned over and sat down.
Small products have slim profits, so she is not opposed to a moderate price increase, but she thinks doubling the price at once is too much.
Furthermore, wood shortage is the current situation, and the waste of small wooden products is often criticized.
"The Blacksmith Workshop will be directly managed by Steward Mosophie from now on. He will be responsible for supervising the progress of the work, dispatching and arranging personnel, and improving new technologies."
As soon as Lovi finished speaking, the representative of the Blacksmith Workshop immediately stood up and said, "My Lord, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. The Blacksmith Workshop has always been under the leadership of Fulin Castle. Isn't this a bit redundant? And Mr. Butler, I don't deny that he has certain skills, but the improvement of new technologies should be done by those with the best skills in the industry."
Before the dwarf Gimli could finish his words, a round coin rolled in front of him.
Everyone looked at him with curiosity and confusion. The dwarf with a brown beard shrank his pupils slightly.
“This, this.”
He rushed over and grabbed the iron coin in his hand, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
The reason why iron coins can only be iron coins is that iron cannot be melted and cannot be cast into the shape of coins.
Therefore, it can only circulate as currency in the form of pebbles.
Since it is difficult to standardize the size, disputes often arise when people do business together.
Some pieces of iron are larger, so people think they are more valuable. A large piece of iron can be equivalent to several times the value of a small piece of iron. Generally, it is calculated roughly by weight.
Gimli took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions: "My Lord, is this your technological reform?"
"That's right." Lovi admitted: "This is a serious matter. I will conduct a loyalty screening for the staff of the blacksmith workshop. Those who pass the test will be exposed to this technology as soon as possible. Mixia will be responsible for the testing. Don't take any chances, hum..."
Jim clenched the iron coin tightly, his palms were full of sweat, "Your consideration is indeed reasonable. This technology can change the whole world. It must not be easily spread out, absolutely not."
He looked like he was possessed, his eyes bloodshot.
The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment. Some thought the old blacksmith had gone crazy.
How easy is it to change the world?
The development of the East Continent is already backward, and this place is still a corner of the East Continent.
It is possible that their most proud technology is just common sense in the Central Continent that is not worth mentioning.
