Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 168 166. The Millennium Ancient Scroll
"There are abundant products on the Benma Plain. According to Sherman's estimate, the salt mines in the northeast are enough to feed the entire human empire for thousands of years. The iron mines in the southwest are not only rich in iron, but also have magical black iron companion mines. There are several geothermal lavas in the westernmost Iowa Mountains."

"There are several dwarf city-states in the northern part of the Iowa Mountains. I really want to find time to drink with them. The alcohol content of the human race is too low and boring."

On the night of February 2, Lante read the sheepskin booklet he bought from Maned Wolf City. Since he bought it, Lante has been busy.

It was finally the end of February, and the most arduous camp relocation task is coming to an end, and now only Laniya, Pete, Kai and others are left. As for Rand, he plans to stay for a few more days, with Kuryagan, Sophia, and Joan. Ni waited for the girl to finish Rotor's boiler room before leaving.

Just yesterday, Pete Maned Wolf finally escorted the salt to the outside of Rotor Castle. A new batch of caravans to the capital will leave soon. After sending the caravan, Rand will also go north, focusing entirely on Yeqi City construction above.

After a day or two of relaxed days, Rand was finally able to read at night and see how the ancients thousands of years ago viewed their future territory.

"To the west of the Benma Plain is the Hindukel Valley, where the orcs have attacked the human race. It is a land that the human empire has never conquered."

"For the human race, the stronger the individual, the taller it is; for the orcs, the more animal-like it is, the stronger it is. If you see an oversized animal in an orc tribe, it must be the leader of the tribe."

Regarding the several battles between the human empire and the orcs, Rand also heard Albert say that the strongest orc, the Beast God's Favored One, has the appearance of a small beast god. If he doesn't open his mouth, he can't tell that he is an intelligent life.

"Big beasts are hard to deal with. After carrying the will of the Warcraft God, they can fight against demigods."

Although the inner core of this book is all paper, it is a thin book with a total of less than 100 pages, and it will be finished in a short time. Rand also used his fighting spirit to activate the magic pattern on the cover, but it has no effect and is miserable The mysterious Rand ignored it, put the book on the table and turned off the illuminated rune board to sleep, leaving only the parchment book glowing under the moonlight.

. . . . . .

On February 2, the two suns rose to the sky, and it was time for Rand's confidantes to prepare to leave. Pete Maned Wolf and Laniya Maned Wolf will be stationed in Yeqi City. Most of the carpenters, cobblers, and grooms in the original mine Craftsmen, tailors and other craftsmen need to stay in Yeqi City, and can only be managed by Laniya Maned Wolf first;
The middle-level knight Nedland Wilson will return to Yeqi City with Rand; Alf Fate will stay in Roth City, and 3 low-level knights, 10 apprentice knights and 10 barbarian cavalry will be stationed with the city. This lineup can already be compared with Rotor's original territorial strength was on par.Lune Bailu and Kenan Dawles will be responsible for the garrison of Yeqi City's industrial area and salt mine camp respectively.

"Be careful on the road. Don't rush too fast. If you are too tired in one day, you will arrive in two days." Rand saw off his subordinates, and specifically instructed Lania and Pete that these two people did not follow a large number of leaders slowly northward, but The fast horses strive to reach Yeqi City within one day, and the 4 stations on the way will provide them with replacement horses.

"Most of the migratory people will arrive in these two days, we have to hurry up." Because of the problem of the reception capacity of the post station, all the migratory people form a team of 400-500 people and travel 40 kilometers a day. Laniya has been insisting on seeing off the last After a group of leaders, they quickly arrived at Yeqi City, checking the situation of each team along the way.

Pete just arrived in Rotor yesterday, and today he has to hurry back to the cellar where Yeqi sleeps. Naturally, he is a little unhappy, but he dare not show it in front of Rand.

"Master Lante, can you hug me?" Kay ran over and asked Lante, "You hugged Wendy and Lili before they left."

The centaur girl Kay went north with most of the magic goblins, and the monster horse Heitu who fell in love with the wall also followed Kay.

"Of course" Rand opened his arms. Kay was taller than Rand, and he had to bend his front legs to hug him.

"My lord, come quickly~" the girl said playfully in Rand's ear, and then the black pony ran to the north together, and the two four-legged ones tried to compare who was faster from time to time.

I sent off my confidants in the morning, and I will send off the caravan in the afternoon.

Albert Galloping Horse and Mace Frostwolf set off again with the caravan. The salt team only arrived yesterday, and the two riverboats had just been received, and the cargo had just been loaded in the morning.

The caravan needs to deliver the armor and horses in Maned Wolf City first. The earl is already waiting for the end, and then he has to buy some goods in Maned Wolf City. After joining the caravan led by Wild Bear, he will go east with the team of the Earl of Maned Wolf. Go to the capital.

On the afternoon of the 33rd, a new bungalow was built outside the main castle of Roth Castle. This is the first steam engine room in the Rand territory. Kuryagan, together with Jonny, Sophia and other girls, tested the use of steam to drive the blacksmith The power hammer for paving, the beating tank for paper mills, and the turntable for mills.

"My lord, is this the steam power you are talking about?" Seeing the power hammer moving up and down under the action of the connecting rod, Kuryagan finally understood the mechanization that Rand was talking about.

"Yes, we can't just rely on the hands of a demon possessor or a non-magic possessor to complete all the processes." Lante looked at the steam constantly coming out of the boiler, thinking that he would soon be able to take a hot bath, and felt very happy.

All the steam pipes used in the boiler were purchased from the imperial capital, and the waste equipment and materials of the five space rings required messengers to continuously pass the rings from the imperial capital to Root.

"We still have time, take advantage of these few days to produce a few more sets of boilers, and install them directly in Yeqi City." Looking at the steam engines that are constantly running, Sophia is full of confidence, "Maybe in the future, in our workshop, there will be more boilers." There's no need for a human to do the beating and mixing, it's just the machine."

"Maybe, but with power, it is not mechanization. It is necessary to break down the entire production process into the simplest process, and determine the effect that each process needs to achieve, that is, standardization."

"Standardization?" Sophia savored Rand's words.

"It doesn't matter, the future workshops can recruit some non-magic craftsmen, let them study these, and you can develop more complicated equipment that must draw runes or magic circles." The girls' magic workshop and the newly built steam The boiler gave Rand endless room for imagination. He believed that his future territory would have the same prosperity as his hometown.

. . .

As the subordinates left one after another, even the tents were moved together, but Rand himself was free, and continued to read 1000 years of books when he had nothing to do.

Every time I read it, I always felt that there was something wrong with this book, but I couldn't tell it myself, until the night before I left, under the light of the white moon, I felt the magic circle on the cover of the book. , there is a certain sense of strangeness.

After lightly scratching an edge of the cover with a knife, Rand found a translucent piece of paper mixed in it, which was a map of the Galloping Horse Plain.

Under the white moon, in the east, west, and south-central areas of the plain on the map, there are three blurred traces, and the words "earth veins", "iron mines", and "salt mines" are displayed together.

"Salt mines and iron mines have leylines?" Rand thought for a while, it seems that the magic furnace in the salt mine is to provide energy in the leylines, so there should be magic furnaces on the iron mines, "Is this in the middle, Yeqi City? ?”
