I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 71 Future Planning for the Territory and Learning Magic

After the matter of the assassins and the children of the forest is resolved, it is time to formally organize the territory and count their property.

Ivatar has changed from a wandering prince running around to a lord who controls a large territory.

Although this is still a territory in a narrow mountain road, it is an important road.

Ivita immediately ordered seven toll stations to be set up in his territory to collect transit taxes. A week later, these toll stations built of wood and bricks basically took shape.

There is no way, after all, there is no agricultural industry or handicraft industry in this territory of his own.

After being messed up by the children of the forest, it is completely finished.

Moreover, after the territory was destroyed once, the original population of [-] to [-] has now become barely [-].

In this way, there are still people fleeing every day.

The main reason is that the farmlands of the [-] villages belonging to the Barony of Morrow were all limed and the buildings were destroyed.

Without farmland, what do you eat?
In addition, a ruler was changed, which caused everyone to lose confidence in the barony, so a large number of serfs fled.

In the territory, almost hundreds of people are fleeing outside every day.

These people generally ran to nearby towns, villages and cities, and a few people ran to nearby feudal aristocratic territories.

Ivita asked the Griffin knight to symbolically stop the peasant from escaping, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Because those who should stay will always stay.

Those who are going to leave, it is good to leave, there will be times when they regret it in the future.

Iveta, who became a lord, realized that being a lord is not only an enjoyment, but also a responsibility.

Although for the self-motivated, this responsibility is a treat in itself.

He has to take on the responsibility of making the people in the territory eat and drink enough, and even make a fortune.

Ivita knows that the current territory will definitely not be able to take the agricultural product route.

The only way they can go now is to engage in industry and commerce.

And now the Ambrose Plains are surrounded by suspicions of impending war.

At this time, what is the most profitable?

Of course it's selling weapons.

However, if you want to sell weapons, you need a systematic blacksmith training institution, but it's too late now.

Therefore, Iveta thought of another one with a lower threshold - ironmaking!
Sell ​​raw materials!

He can build a blast furnace to smelt wrought iron, and with a mature knowledge of heat technology, create cast iron.

Cast iron is the material for weapons beyond this age.

Although Ivita has already seen it, the red steel in this world.

It may come from a magical source, but its quality may have surpassed almost all steel materials on earth.

However, the commonly used iron in this world is still pig iron and sponge iron, and wrought iron appears in very few cases.

If he could produce cast iron in the Baron of Morrow, soon this barony would become one of the important cities of Ambrose.

Moreover, what is even more advantageous is that the Barony of Morrow itself has a small iron mine.

This is also one of the main outputs of the barony.

However, to turn the iron ore in the iron ore vein into cast iron, several epoch-making pre-technologies are required.

The first is the push-pull blower box.

The second is the blast furnace that can heat the temperature to over 1500 degrees.

Third, iron-carbon reduction technology.

However, to heat a blast furnace above 1500, mature fireproof brick technology and regenerator (generating hot air) and other technologies are required.

However, Evita knew that if he wanted to climb the technology tree step by step, it would take a lot of manpower, money and time.

This is not something that can be achieved in one step.

Even if you know the result, it will take a lot of manpower, resources and time just to push the result backwards.

Therefore, he is going to use the 1200-1300-degree clay blast furnace from the ancient Huaxia Dynasty.

If it is operated well, this kind of soil blast furnace can also be used to make porcelain in the later stage.

The reason why European ancient times could not make cast iron and porcelain was because their blast furnaces could not reach the temperature above 1200 degrees for a long time.

Temperature is key!
Then, he planned to use the ancient Chinese crucible steel frying method and iron pouring method to make decarburized cast iron.

Therefore, Ivita first asked the black wolf to summon the craftsmen in the territory, and only wanted to sign the blacksmith who signed the contract that belonged to Ivita for life.

Then, he drew many more drawings, and asked Raleigh to go to the nearest city to buy griddles, fireclay, and charcoal.

In fact, if you can use coke, you can still ensure that the temperature is between 1300 and 1400 degrees.

But Rome wasn't built in a day.

Ivita needs speed, and there is no way to invest too many resources and manpower, so everything can only be kept simple.

When he summoned the old witch and told her the plan and wanted to discuss it with her, the old witch was shocked.

in the study.

The hearthstone witch looked at the blueprints drawn by Ivita. Although these blueprints were not very standard in the region, in the eyes of the old witch, they were still very bluffing. "These……"

"If you can really do what Your Majesty said, you can make cast iron that surpasses ordinary iron."

"Then these technologies alone can be exchanged for several counties."

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."

Ivita nodded, tapped her fingers on the table, and said, "The earl's territory can be obtained by one's own strength."

"It's better to keep this technology in your own hands."

The old witch realized later: "That's right."

"Your Majesty, if this technology of yours is really implemented in our territory, then its strategic significance will not be lost to Sakura Dragon Tree."

"Moreover, it can also bring wealth that Sakura Dragon Tree can't bring!"

"At that time, even if this barony is in the title system under the Ambrose Kingdom, I will not be surprised to be promoted to the viscount."

The old witch said with a strange expression: "And it is also good for your magic power. Inventing a cross-age technology is itself a way to obtain the source of magic power."

"It's just that most witches and wizards are too eager for quick success and stay away from ordinary people."

"They basically have no patience, thinking about mortals day after day."

"Moreover, a wizard who can digest this kind of magic power requires a very special talent, which is even rarer than a wizard who can digest the magic power of war."

"But I think you might be able to absorb the magic."

Ivita thought of the natural magic power brought to him by the One God, and nodded.

To improve the magical power of the natural attribute, it seems that managing the territory is a quicker and more direct way.

In addition, the magic power of the destruction attribute that I had rapidly increased before has gradually reduced the amount of increase recently.

Judging from the later development, the harm spell that he caused damage to the leader of the dryad at that time had some kind of mutation, and it was actually contagious.

It is precisely because of this that the plague suddenly broke out in the troops of the Children of the Forest.

But now it seems that the children of the forest have begun to suppress the plague, and they will soon be able to get rid of the plague.

After all, it was just a spell equivalent to the strength of a formal wizard's spell.

If the level was higher, Ivita guessed that the plague at this time might not be so easy to solve.

Ivita said: "The energy in my body began to lose balance. There are too many magic powers of war and destruction. The natural magic power is also rising because of the relationship with the territory."

"But for thunder attribute magic power, fire attribute magic power and rain dragon attribute magic power, we still need to find another source of magic power."

The old witch thought for a moment. "If it doesn't work, we can go hunt and kill the magic monsters with corresponding magic attributes on the Ambrose Plain."

Ivita said: "But that's not the best source of magic power. If possible, I want each to be better."

The Hearthstone Witch smiled wryly in her heart. Those were the six sources of magic power.

If each kind is the source of magic power to achieve the best quality, how powerful should such a wizard be?

The strength of Ivita's magic is not right now.

Ivita said: "Also, I should try to learn some magic. After all, I have to learn six natal magics."

"Do you have any recommendations?"

The Hearthstone Witch was about to speak, when the door of the study was opened, and Knight Griffin walked in with a letter, saying: "My lord, we sent it to the territory of Ambrose urgently with a carrier pigeon. The letter requesting canonization has already been sent." There is a reply."

"only……"

Griffin Knight looked strange. "There are actually two replies, and they are replies to you from two different people."

"One is from the City Council of Ambrose, and the other is sent to you by the obsessive-compulsive viscount of Winchester."
