Iron is not as difficult a theory as steelmaking.

In short, it is somewhat understandable if there is a middle school science level chemical knowledge that reacts carbon with iron ore (iron oxide) and removes iron by redox reaction.

Now, the carbon used for the redox reaction has long been wood, or charcoal, used.

The problem is the use of large quantities of wood.

No matter how much iron ore is picked in the country, iron cannot be produced without wood.

Even though England once had iron ore in the country and also had iron making technology, it said it imported much of the iron from Sweden.

This was because the forests and mountain trees had been cut too far for pioneering and building ships, and there was a shortage of wood.

Sweden, on the contrary, was rich in wood, so much so that it made iron out of that wood, gained wealth by exporting it abroad, and had so much national power that it was called the Baltic Empire.

It was the cokes created by the British derby father and son that broke that situation.

Coal is mixed with sulphur and other impurities in addition to carbon.

When coal is used to make iron, sulfur and iron react to form iron sulfide, making the iron brittle.

So by drying the coal - steaming it with the air turned down - the impurities are removed from the coal and only the carbon of high purity is removed.

This is the coke.

Fortunately, the mountains were bald in England but the coals were abundant.

The invention of this coke has enabled England to feed itself with iron.

I mean!

Baldness is sin.

"It's a theory, can you understand that?

"Hmm, sensibly, I can tell, Your Majesty."

Erkühr is a unique fashioned man with three jawbeards knitted around his neck… he was explaining to the Coal Miners (Dwarves) about the Cokes.

Coal Miners (Dwarves), a compatriot who has long supported the Lemurian Empire for the long-eared "Elves," a species that is no exaggeration when it comes to companionship.

Hands are clever, powerful, and as good at spirituality as long-eared (elves).

A long-eared family (elf) is a proximal species, with an average life expectancy of one hundred and fifty years and a length second to that of a long-eared family (elf).

Most of all, they look very different.

The Long Ear Clan (Elves) have beautiful skin, thin body hair, smooth, long hands and feet, high height, and many very neat faces.

Meanwhile, the Coal Miners (Dwarves)...

Shallow black skin, dark body hair, short, sluggish hands and feet, low height, face that can't even be said to be very neat for flattery......

and the opposite is true in terms of appearance.

For that reason, he said, there was constant conflict at the beginning of the encounter.

But Lemros's conquest of the coal miners (Dwarves), which founded the city state of Lemria, changes the story.

Actually, the long-eared (elves) race is not good at work rather than industry.

Playing more than work, and preferring to play...... war.

In fact, the Long-Eared (Elves) have converted much of their spiritual art into war.

Its long limbs and several times the strength of the human race (human), the sense of equilibrium forged in tree life, and the struggling instincts it originally had while being a hunting nation, show true value in war.

Usually.

"Well, we'll figure it out. I mean it from next year."

"I wonder if there's a pretty girl (cool guy)"

"Agriculture is a pain in the ass, isn't it?

"As much as I make a home, I'll get wet in the rain."

"Do you need to get dressed? If it's enough to make one, it's better to be naked already, right?

He says so, but once in war, he turns into a brilliant warrior who takes over enemies one after another.

Meanwhile, the Coal Miners (Dwarves) are not good at fighting.

He's too tall to handle weapons because of his short hands and feet.

He is also highly focused and good at doing fine work... but he doesn't like fighting when his judgment is questioned.

And compared to the long-eared "elves" who are good at collective action, coal miners (dwarves) who prefer individual action are not good at collective action and cannot be queued.

I'm good at war, but I'm a bad long-eared (elf) at making weapons and residences.

I don't like war, but I'm a coal miner (Dwarf) who's good at building weapons and homes.

It is precisely the encounter of destiny.

Since then, the Coal Miners (Dwarves) have supported the industry of the Lemurian Empire.

By the way, for the record, coal miners (dwarves) keep pure blood without any difficulty, as opposed to long-eared (elves) who work hard to maintain pure blood and increase the number of mixed long-eared (half-eelves) on top of it, and there is little mixed blood.

This is...

Push and weigh.

Guess what, we only have the same coal miners!

Men and women are hairy, so you have no choice.

For the record, there are no vultures in the Coal Miners (Dwarves).

And the long-eared (elves) have a lot of vultures.

"But where did you learn to do this? Or is your majesty on his own?

"No, I read it in a book. I forgot which book."

The invention of Cokes is not that of Elquille.

It is the invention of an old great man.

So Elquille doesn't lie about thinking about it herself, etc., nor is she proud of it.

Well, it's true that you have the advantage in terms of knowing, so I'm not going to be humbled by that one thing at a time.

In people who know and don't know Elkühr, there is no doubt that Elkühr who knows is somewhat greater.

In the first place, world history proves that Pacri is just.

It's worse to get puked.

"So, the key is whether or not you can..."

"In short, the principle is the same as keeping wood out of contact with the air when making charcoal. Then it's possible enough. It's an easy job. If you wait a month or so, you can theorize how to make it. If you give me another six months, I'll make you the perfect furnace to make a coke."

"That's right, the coal miners."

Of course, Your Majesty.

The man from the coal mine clan (Dwarf) laughed in a creaking low voice.

"Your Majesty, you're energetic this time, not at all."

"That's rude. I'm always an avid politician."

Erkühl replied to Christos.

Christos laughs bitterly.

"The truth is, what is your motive?

"To Carolina, are you going to end your internal affairs with fiscal reform? They told me."

In the end, the lower heart was the main motive.

It's Elkühr, so I can't help it.

"But does that make sense to protect the forest?

"Well... that's surprising. I thought you'd agree with me the most."

Christos tilted his neck at Elquille's words.

"If we run out of wood to use in iron, that's all we can turn the tree elsewhere.... shipbuilding or something."

When Elquille answered that, Christos struck his hand to the point of becoming.

The Lemurian Empire today is a shipping nation.

For Lemuria, a shipping nation, maintaining a strong navy, or building a large trading ship, a large and sturdy wood, either, will require a dragonbone.

Erkühr's forest protection is a multilateral policy that leads to trade and military, in addition to agricultural forestry.

"So you have no objection?

"Yes...... by the way, how do you intend to provide protection?

"Just because suddenly issuing a ban disrupts the economy, we nationalize all forests first. So, give the village that uses its forests from time to time exclusive use and management of the forests"

This is a policy premised on what is known as the famous' tragedy of shared land '.

If you are going to briefly explain the outline of "Tragedy of the Common Land," the theory that "the Common Land is nobody's thing, so we all use it to desolate ourselves as we please, but if it's private property or something, if it belongs to certain people, it's planned to use it, it's not desolate," the main example is the destruction of the environment on the modern planet.

By the way, it was the Kyoto Protocol and the greenhouse gas emission framework that premised the theory of this' tragedy of shared land '.

The forest of the Lemurian Empire is naturally a common ground that belongs to no one.

Currently, big merchants and others cut out whatever they want and are in a state of selling lumber.

To prevent this, let's make the Lemurian Empire forest 'the villagers' thing around the forest 'instead of' everyone's thing '.

This is expected to be maintained somewhat.

Neither does Elquille expect to be protected by forests to this extent.

This is only the first stage, the lower processing.

"Villagers get the benefits in the woods, so in return, we're going to make them submit reports on a regular basis by mandating forest plantations. I was wondering how much planting is going on. Yeah, it's important...... the right to use the forest is a villager's thing, but the right to sell wood is in the Timber Union (guild) as always. All sales go through timber unions (guilds), so the supply and prices of trees within the empire can be adjusted somewhat, and we can monitor whether dark harvesting is taking place."

The monopoly, in short, is for surveillance.

As things stand, surveillance is not always possible without knowing who is in and out and who is logging, but surveillance becomes easier if the people used are limited.

It is for the same reason that Elquille recognized the union (guild).

It would then be more expensive to let them do it semi-voluntarily at their own expense than to let them do the planting as a government.

"Oh yeah..."

"What's wrong?

"Truffles and other mushrooms must be given some contribution in return."

It should be safer to buy them directly than to buy them on the market, and they should be fresh and taste good.

and Erkühr swelled his chest to expectations.

In this world of low entertainment, reading, eating and carolina are some of Elquille's few pleasures.

"When it comes to the benefits of forest protection, I forgot it was plain... but it also led to the development of fisheries"

"What does that mean?

"It means that water containing the nutrients of the forest flows into the sea."

Don't be any other tsunami preparedness...

etc. and Elquille counts the benefits of fingerfolding.

The more I think about it, the more benefits come to mind.

With me, it's a genius policy.

and Elquille praised herself for painting.

"Well, whatever it is, we don't have logging regulations at first. I'm waiting for a coke from the coal mine clan (Dwarf), and I'm wondering how popular that coke could be. Well, now we have to go down and... invest in coal mining."

There are many mines of coal in the empire.

All the gold and silver was noted, not much invested and production did not expand in the days of Hadrianus III...

Huge investments as a government should also increase mining volumes.

and Elquille thought.

"If you say so, there is no coal union (guild)... either monopolize it at first or entrust it to a firewood union (guild)..."

Bumps and Elquille shrugged and began to think about the next policy.
