Wayne's series of inventions greatly contributed to the development of the Nolan Commercial Belt.

Originally, Nolan's main business was to exchange with elves, exchanging farm tools, coarse cloth, salt and other daily necessities for art and minerals. As Wayne developed industry, art was on the rise, but minerals were growing even more. Especially iron ore, coal, lead, etc.

The farm tools that Nolan originally sold were far less strong than Wayne's steel, and although they were more expensive, they also consumed less. So the elves are imported less.

This allowed the elves to achieve a large trade surplus, which also gave Ereisa the confidence to buy artillery. At the same time, you can also see more and more spirits of Nolan.

But this is far from meeting the needs of Nolan, whose growing chimneys mean that the original tens of thousands of tons of iron ore are far from enough. What's worse is that Reynolds also improved the ironmaking technology and added blowers, which directly doubled the output of the earthen blast furnace, which originally produced up to 5 tons of steel a day. But Wayne wasn't satisfied.

Wayne came up with a crazy plan to build a blast furnace of 126 square meters and a height of more than ten meters. According to Wayne's calculations, such a blast furnace can smelt more than 300 tons of steel per day, and it probably takes about 20 people.

Moreover, this blast furnace is also more efficient than the previous use of iron ore.

The benefits are almost tenfold.

But there is a problem, this kind of blast furnace was the kind of small blast furnace with high pollution that was to be eliminated in the previous life. Although this is also black technology in this world, no, it is alien technology that people cannot understand.

In terms of height, once it is built, it is the tallest building in Nolan. For example, Nolan has not mastered this construction technique. It is also necessary to build supporting coking plants.

It's a veritable ***, the equivalent of diving headlong from the 15th century into the 19th century.

If Wayne had done it himself, of course he could have built one. But Wayne needed to train a group of engineers who could build a blast furnace out of his own. It's better to also have the ability to improve, to improve.

Not even Reynolds had any of that, so Wayne was in dire need of a technical talent right now. It is necessary to build more schools and develop science-based disciplines.

Of course, there are more ways to increase steel production than meets the eye, and it is iron ore and population that are dragging down steel production.

It takes a minimum of twenty days to transport a hundred tons of iron ore from Stuart to Nolan, which is the minimum. As for the reason, most of the roads are still dirt roads now.

The potholes were inconvenient, as Wayne discovered on the road back to Nolan from Vasser. And what Wayne wants Evans to do is build a road from Nolan to Helan from Nolan.

Of course, there are even more crazy plans, not only to build a transportation system in his own territory. He was also going to build the road to Stuyard.

To this end, he summoned Elisha and the elven merchants who sold iron ore.

When Hui Li Sabei called, he also saw many businessmen who were a little famous in the country, and he didn't know what Wayne's purpose was.

There were about a dozen people, and there was no sound of chattering, all of them knew Wayne's habits in advance, and they didn't like to be disturbed by others when they spoke.

Wayne laid out a rough map of the hundreds of miles from Nolan to Stuad.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wayne, have come to give you a piece of advice. ”

Of course, Erisha knew that Wayne was not fun looking for herself, so she listened very carefully.

The others also rely on Wayne for food, and they are also respectful.

"As you all know, it takes twenty days to transport iron ore from Stuart to Nolan. Don't you think there's anything wrong with that?"

A look of confusion.

Wayne said thoughtfully.

"In other words, what if it takes ten days for iron ore to be transported from Stuart to Nolan?"

It is a very simple calculation problem, and those present know at once that the profit can be doubled.

But I don't know how to double the time unless the car can fly. But it's almost impossible. No one in the crowd refuted Wayne, because there was nothing stupid about what Wayne had been doing, and even said that doubling it would be doubling it.

"As for doubling it down, look at Nolan's kind of concrete road, and think about whether the carriage can run faster on it. ”

Everyone nodded slightly in affirmation.

Hui Lisa waited quietly to see what Wayne had to say.

After all, what Wayne did was much more than it seemed, and she had to think about the meaning behind it.

"Then we'll build a concrete road from Nolan to the north of Stuyard. ”

It's all a gasp, this is a few hundred miles away, just repair it?

Only Wayne dared to make such a joke.

A businessman stepped forward.

"Master Wayne, this is hundreds of miles, and it costs a lot of money. ”

"Indeed, I did the math of about 1.5 million. ”

Megumi asked in a hurried tone.

"That's a lot of money. ”

"Of course, it's hundreds of miles. ”

"It's not like there's money. ”

Wayne said meaningfully.

"I said yes, yes. ”

Hui Ri Saa was a little hard to believe.

"You're out?"

Wayne raised an eyebrow.

"Hah! You think too much of me Wayne, I'm paying but not all. ”

"You want us Stuyard to pay?"

Wayne nodded.

The elven merchant said in shock.

"Lord Wayne, you're going to drain our wallets. ”

"Knowing how I sell steel waves. ”

The crowd nodded.

"I'll give 100,000 gold coins, and the rest of you Stuyards can contribute collectively, after all, this path is good for all of you. The money is as it should be. ”

The elven merchants were still embarrassed.

Wayne also knew what they were thinking.

"I know you're in trouble, and that's why I called Elisa. He is the daughter of Kashoman, and Kashoman has great prestige in your Stuyard. With her in the background, she can not only organize it, but also ensure that no one will not fail to pay. ”

Hui Lisha's heart suddenly became angry. It's not a good job, and it's not easy to get that group of businessmen to pay, but it's not just prestige that can be done.

"Young Master Wayne, you also think too highly of my father, and it is not just an elder who wants this group of businessmen to pay. ”

"It's easy to do, if you go back and meet someone who resists, after verifying, I will block him and stop doing business with him. After all, Nolan and Vasser are both under my control. ”

Erisa sensed that Wayne's words contained particularly important information, but she couldn't detect anything wrong. frowned and thought, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that Hui Risa didn't speak, this group of elf merchants thought that Hui Lisha would not agree, so they hurriedly surrounded her. That's a way to make more money!

"Miss Elisa, if you agree, we are willing to pay a management fee. ”

"Yes, if it happens, I don't know how many people will thank Miss Elisa, this is a good opportunity to increase her prestige. ”

.....

Wayne saw this scene and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

That's the benefit of manipulating capital, and they can clear the way for you.

As for what information is in that sentence, Wayne can block one merchant and all the merchants of Stuyard. After four or five years of lockdown, the devil knows if Stuyard is still there. Of course, Wayne will not do this unless he is forced to do so, after all, he will not lose much if he does so.
