Chapter 67 The Beginning of Business
Duan Lingyi was so frightened when she saw Huo Liaoye's actions that her hair stood on end.
She stepped forward, grabbed Huo Liaoye by the collar and dragged him back, "Are you illiterate? A blast furnace cannot be heated up too quickly, or it will explode."
This was the first time that Huoliaoye was called illiterate since his birth, and his arrogant temper flared up again.
"You didn't tell me in advance, how would I know! You only asked me to help you light the stove, but you didn't tell me any precautions. Isn't this all your fault?" Huo Liaoye said indignantly. He didn't accept putting all the responsibility on himself.
Before Duan Lingyi could say anything, Jin Litong became reluctant, and his temperament became gloomy for a moment.
Huo Liaoye was not only unruly and looked down on others, but he also scolded his sweetheart. Jin Litong was determined to beat him into submission.
But before he could summon the Golden Bone Sword, a hand appeared in front of him.
It was Duan Lingyi who stopped him.
Duan Lingyi knew Jin Litong's temper too well, and she knew what he was going to do as soon as his expression changed.
Jin Litong looked at her in confusion.
Duan Lingyi shook her head. "He's right. This is my fault. I didn't make it clear in advance."
She loosened her grip on Huo Liaoye's collar and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay enough attention. This is your first time, and I shouldn't have asked so much of you."
Huo Liaoye was shocked. He thought Duan Lingyi would continue arguing with him. After all, strictly speaking, he was just a prisoner.
"Forget it, then how do we burn this blast furnace?"
After a long silence, Huo Liaoye did not continue arguing, but found a way out for both parties.
Who told him to be soft-hearted and not hard-hearted?
"I will slowly heat the blast furnace, and once it heats up, I will gradually add different types of ores to mix."
"Um."
The burning flames crackled, and the heat filled the room, accompanied by the sound of clinking blows.
From dawn to dusk in a blink of an eye, and from dusk to dawn in a blink of an eye.
After a period of adjustment, Huo Liaoye can already keep up with the rhythm of Duan Jin and the others very well.
But after being stuck in this room for so long, even Huo Liaoye, who loves heat, couldn't stand it.
Duan Lingyi can focus on forging, and Jin Litong can just stare at his sweetheart without feeling bored.
There were three people in the room, and only Huo Liaoye felt extremely bored.
He had only one job, burning not just one boiler, but many.
Just three hours of repetitive labor is enough to make an energetic person mentally tired, not to mention that at least eight or nine hours have passed.
"How long will we stay here?" Huo Liaoye finally couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, so it's so late. I'm so sorry. I tend to get carried away once I start forging. Let me take you out for a walk."
Being asked this question suddenly, Duan Lingyi was still a little distracted, but she also realized that she seemed to be drunk, so she suggested that the three of them go out for a walk together.
"Okay." Huo Liaoye agreed readily, but he actually had some other thoughts in his mind.
"Run away as soon as I get out. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Huo Liaoye thought silently, then obediently followed the two out of the room.
Maybe out of confidence or something, but Duan Lingyi and Jin Litong didn’t continue to tie up Huo Liaoye.
The three of them left the Huayan Mirror Palace through the side door and came to the outer city.
Huo Liaoye originally wanted to run away as soon as he left the palace, but the prosperous scene before him dazzled his eyes.
On the way here, he had been riding on the Fire Phoenix and had not even taken a close look at the outer city of the empire.
I didn't expect it to be so prosperous and bustling.
Yes, the area outside Huayan Mirror Palace is no longer as desolate as before, but has become a large city building.
As the empire's population grew rapidly, the original place definitely could not accommodate so many fairies.
Yue Heng fell into a deep sleep again, so Mandola took the initiative to arrange a large piece of land outside the floating island.
The current structure of the entire imperial main city is similar to that of Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty, but it is slightly different.
Chang'an City consisted of three parts: the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer city. The emperor lived in the palace city, ministers and nobles lived in the imperial city, and citizens and merchants lived in the outer city.
The main city of the empire is also divided into three parts.
The inner layer is the Huayan Mirror Palace where many ministers of the empire live. The circle of moon soil floating islands floating outside the Mirror Palace is equivalent to the imperial city. Finally, there is the outer city where ordinary fairies live.
Because fairies are rare, even though almost all citizens of the empire live in the outer city, the population density of the outer city is not high, only equivalent to a small European country in the Middle Ages.
However, after the alliance is destroyed, the main city really won’t be able to accommodate so many fairies.
There is a high probability that there will be many separate small cities scattered around the wonderland.
As the three of them passed through the huge inner city gate, all kinds of hawking sounds suddenly lingered in their ears.
At this time, the outer city had formed a complete commercial structure.
Some sell clothes, some sell books, and some sell various food and beverages.
There is even an industry with fairyland characteristics: the practice room.
After all, fairies are different from humans. In addition to the general material needs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, they also have the need to improve their strength.
It can even be said that how to improve strength is the top priority among the fairy group.
The village chief was the first to propose setting up a practice room.
When Mandola gradually settled the dark night fairies that he had gathered in the outer city, a barter trading model spontaneously formed among the fairies.
But this has also led to many trade disputes.
In order to regulate trading activities, Zhou Yin specifically proposed to Mandola to build shops and trading markets along the main roads.
Mandola agreed.
At that moment, the village chief suddenly had an idea, "Since the laurel tree has the function of improving the efficiency of cultivation, why can't it also be used as a business?"
Yes, with the influx of night fairies increasing, planting laurel trees has become a popular position.
But the seeds are limited, and only about 1/10 of the fairies can practice under the laurel tree.
Not only are there not enough seeds, there is also not enough planting area on the floating island.
They also tried planting on ordinary soil, but the trees planted on ordinary soil would not germinate no matter how much immortal power was watered with them.
This is only natural.
Because the laurel tree is actually a new tree species created by Min Yun using the power of destiny.
In her setting, laurel is a species unique to the moon and must be planted on lunar soil, otherwise it cannot grow.
And this is just one of the conditions.
Before planting the laurel tree, Yue Heng must personally inject the healing power into the tree to stimulate its vitality.
The purpose of this series of operations is to prevent the tree species from being stolen.
Min Yun and his team are planning to make bay fruit a specialty product of the empire.
Since it is a specialty, it must be guaranteed to be not available anywhere else, so there are various artificially created restrictions.
"Since there are only a limited number of laurel trees that have been planted, and there are so many dark night fairies who are eager to increase their strength, why not turn it into an industry?"
The village chief's eyes were shining, full of desire for business.
