"Yes, I hope to spread the gospel of the God of Light throughout the entire continent." The girl said piously.

"You can preach if you want to! It depends on whether you can accept the laws of the kingdom. In the kingdom, no matter who you are, you must live within the scope permitted by the law. The same goes for the church." Lin Xingchen finally had to give in on this matter after hearing this.

"Lin, let's talk about these things next time! This time the high priest came and solved the problem about iron ore for us." The queen also said something at this time to temporarily end the quarrel.

"Your Majesty, I heard that your country is in urgent need of a large amount of iron ore, and I have helped you contact several good mine owners who are willing to provide your country with the ore you urgently need." The girl turned around and started chatting directly with Queen Lydia.

"What did you mean when you just sent me a message asking me not to refuse so firmly?" They walked to Owen's side and talked in a low voice.

"My Duke! They have the iron ore that we urgently need. Don't you always say that we should not make things difficult for those who are beneficial to us? Now they are very beneficial to us! To be honest, I think you really have a lot of opinions about the Church of Light." Owen and she are old acquaintances and he speaks more directly.

"If they want to preach, just let them do it. If you hate them, you can let other churches do it instead! Wouldn't that disgust them just the same? I have to criticize you for letting small things interfere with your big plans." Owen sounded serious at first, but his tone turned dark when he turned around.

"You have your say! Then you two can talk about it next! I'm a little drunk now, so I'll go back and have a good sleep first." After chatting with Owen for a few words, he left on his own.

Lin Xingchen was awakened by a servant early in the morning of the second day. When he got up, the servant told him that the high priest of the Church of Light would go to the royal capital to relieve the suffering of those who were suffering from illness.

Lin Xingchen looked down upon such practices. It was like a merchant doing promotions, constantly releasing good news. Maybe you’re happy about buying cheap goods today, but one day the merchant will make back your losses from you. There is only wrong purchases in this world.

He was drowsy sitting in the carriage. When the driver passed the palace gate, a ray of light shone towards him. Lin Xingchen was instantly awakened and cast several mental protections on himself and the black girl next to him.

Unfortunately, the coachman had been enveloped by the light. He had been staying in the carriage for about three minutes when he heard deafening words of thanks to the God of Light.

After arriving at the palace, Queen Lydia and others were waiting for him. He reached out and took note of the paper handed over by the Queen, which contained the daily output of several mines.

"Lin, this is the iron ore that Priest Victoria provided us. Please see how we should deal with these problems."

"Send out as many convoys as you can, and don't give less money than you deserve. Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you in private."

The two of them came to a separate room and Lydia poured him a glass of water: "There is a soundproof magic circle here. Just say whatever you want to say."

Before Lin Xingchen spoke, he cast a mind protection magic for Lydia: "Your Majesty, your dream is to become the queen, and my dream is to become the king you promised. Now that the Church of Light has joined, I wonder how you plan to deal with it."

“Lin, I know your good intentions, whether it’s your system or your idea of ​​constantly concentrating power for me, I fully understand how important you are to me.

You don't need to think too much about Victoria, the priest. As you said yesterday, I will never let theocracy override my royal authority."

"Your Majesty has a firm resolve, I admire him very much. It seems that my spiritual protection is a bit redundant." It's no loss for everyone to praise the sedan chair.

"Lin, don't think of me as a brainless woman. It's true that I like power. Priest Victoria's ability can only help me temporarily, but your ability can bring endless benefits to my descendants. I still have the ability to distinguish. Also, please believe in my trust in you once again." Lydia said sincerely.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. This trust will bring glory to our two families. Since Your Majesty has no intention of making the Church of Light the state religion, why not just follow Owen's idea and spread the word. Anyone who is willing to preach here can be recognized, but the prerequisite is that they must negotiate with the kingdom on doctrine and some implementation aspects."

Once religion becomes monopolized in a place, it is easy for it to grow. Although too many religions may cause some unstable factors, everything can be easily solved as long as rules are set for them before they are preached.

Lydia agreed to this request, and she would arrange capable personnel to handle this matter when the time comes.

The mineral deposits brought by Victoria were closest to Duke George in the South, and the George family, as a staunch royalist, also received a great boost.

They were also very much looking forward to the train. After discussing with Alfred of the George family, a large steel plant was officially settled in the territory of the Southern Duke.

This is the first truly large-scale steel plant. In order to design this steel plant, Lin Xingchen dragged half of the goblins of his tribe to conduct on-site inspections and planning for two months.

Then the entire George family went all out to provide personnel and material resources for the steel plant. A large number of talents were mobilized from planning to construction. Everyone did not care about the waste and only hoped that this construction could provide themselves with enough experience and technology in the future.

Every day, horse-drawn carriages bring talents from all over the country to the Geer Province where the George family is located. All relevant talents in the entire Kurma are brought here, and Maple Leaf Territory will naturally not miss such a big event.

As the technology provider of this steel plant, Lin Xingchen provided the most important magic furnace technology, which he improved through a technology of the high elves. Although it is not as good as the original version in terms of temperature, it has the advantage of requiring less investment, simple materials, and being safe and controllable.

He took out the main design drawings and asked the goblins to calculate and supervise the construction. According to the calculations, one furnace of such a magic furnace could produce 30 tons of steel for rails, and it would only take about fifty minutes.

The reason for such a speed is, firstly, the formula from the dwarves and high elves, and secondly, it is due to this magic furnace.

"From the site selection to the construction of the factory and furnace to the production of the first batch of molten steel, it has gone through five and a half months. All the power and energy of the entire steel plant are mainly provided by magic. It can be said that this magic furnace is the largest and most complete steel-producing furnace known on the continent of Plano." Lin Xingchen pointed at the furnace and explained to Queen Delia and Prime Minister Frank behind him. Hearing what Lin Xingchen said, the nobles who accompanied him straightened their chests.

"Your Majesty and everyone else, a set of rails weighs 3 tons, and each rail is 25 meters long. That means this furnace of molten steel can build 250 meters of railway for us. Although it may sound like a small amount, you don't know that it took four years to gather the 20 miles of steel in my Maple Leaf Territory." Lin Xingchen tried his best to use simple numbers and tone to make them understand the key points.

"Your Excellency Duke, how much molten steel can a furnace like this produce in a day? How do you manage to produce 30 tons of molten steel in one furnace? How many years will it take us to build trains all over the country?" After hearing this, a noble quickly asked his doubts.

"Don't worry, sir! The technology to build a furnace is now mature and the materials are sufficient. By the end of the year, we will have ten furnaces like this. As for the furnace problem, thank the high elves back then. This is their highest technology."

"I want to explain to you clearly here. This furnace can produce one furnace of molten steel per day. Instead, it can produce one furnace per hour. If you do the math, you will find that as long as there is enough iron ore and materials, what you are talking about is not far away."

"The steel rails produced by ten furnaces working non-stop for a month are enough for us to lay 3,600 miles of roads. It's less than 2,000 miles from the capital to Geer Province, and we can't just build this one steel plant. We will also build other steel plants.

Instead of worrying about the slow construction time, it is better to think about where to find iron ore. "Lin Xingchen's straightforward explanation made the nobles dare not ask more questions even if they had questions in their hearts.

"Lin, we will try our best to find a solution for the iron mine. You are an expert in construction and execution and we will listen to you. You don't need to worry about other things, just figure out a way to plan it. We will definitely provide you with a stable iron mine by the end of the year." Lin Xingchen didn't care when Lydia said this.

In fact, he already had a good idea in his mind. There are many iron mines in the Endless Abyss. This is what his ancestors told him. However, Lin Xingchen has no way to form a magic legion now. According to his plan, if he still cannot find a solution by the end of the year, he will propose the magic legion plan.

Ever since the magic butterfly was used by Lin Xingchen to pull the cart, the number of the entire car team has been increasing. Of course, Lin Xingchen would not be stupid enough to take out his best things.

He took out the magic butterfly eggs that were eliminated by him and hatched them one by one, and established a guild of commerce. As long as you pay enough gold coins, you can ride the magic butterfly car to anywhere in the kingdom.

The entire Kulma Kingdom is now like a storage box, constantly collecting all kinds of people. With so many people, all kinds of strange ideas will naturally emerge.

As the source of all this, the legend of Maple Leaf Territory was spread by merchants, and the names of the City of Freedom, the City of Commerce, and the City of Dreams spread across half of the continent.
