Chapter 33: The Emperor's New Clothes

In the era of low productivity, the emergence of coal has epoch-making significance, the high temperature produced by coal is incomparable with wood, with coal, smelting technology can naturally go to a higher level, with coal, there is no fear of cold winter, after all, in this era, only the nobles' homes will have fireplaces, civilians have no conditions, they can only burn wood for heating, rely on the body to suffer, although limited to technical reasons, with coal can only make some earthen stoves and the like, but it is also a great progress, as long as the coal in Rock Mountain is controlled, Yang Yi can be rich and rival the country, What's more, he also has advanced marketing techniques.

Rock Mountain is Yang Yi's territory, it is very barren, not land, so no one occupies it, and no one wants it, so it is natural for Yang Yi to take over, the question is, how to mine? Mining and construction all need manpower, and the people of Lockecounty have a problem eating, and of course they will not help him in vain.

If Yang Yi wants to use the people of Rock County, he can only hire them, at least let the people of Rock County eat when they work, otherwise he will not be able to see the benefits, and the people of Rock County and he will have to starve to death, Yang Yi is still lacking start-up capital, is it possible to go to Snow White to borrow some?

Yang Yi didn't think about it, but Snow White herself may not be able to protect, let alone take care of him, and he can't borrow it, he knows this very well, thinking about the coal in his hand, Yang Yi sighed: "Good things, good things, with this thing, I won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, not only can I not worry about food and clothing, but I still lack start-up capital." ”

The gap in knowledge made Fu Man feel that Yang Yi's actions were very strange, the black stone, which was useless at all, could still bring wealth? Curious, he asked, "What kind of ore is this?" ”

"It's not an ore, it's called coal, it can burn like wood, the fire is stronger than wood, it's very resistant to burning, it still has a temperature from the night to the next day, with it, people won't be frozen, they can eat hot meals at any time, and iron-smelting technology will also develop rapidly, and many things that can't be made before can be made with coal."

"What a magical stone." Fu Man couldn't help but praise him, Yang Yi ignored him, turned his head and asked Akya: "Is there a lot of coal on the mountain?" ”

"A lot, the eastern slope is full of this kind of coal you mentioned, a lot of it is exposed, I think there will be more after digging it, but Lord Knight, can it really burn?"

"Come with me, I'll show you." Yang Yi took the coal back to the study, the seven dwarfs, Forman, Old Sero, Erin, all came around, Yang Yi threw the coal into the fireplace burning wood, and soon the coal burned, and the red coal caused everyone's admiration: "It's amazing...... Really a good thing......"

"Yes, it's a pity that we have too few people to mine, if we mine it and promote it, we can eat and drink spicy food every day, where can we borrow some money?"

A penny is difficult for a hero, Yang Yi, who lacks start-up capital, is worried, Forman looked at this strange knight master, I didn't expect him to have such insight, he actually knew this kind of thing called coal, if it can really be mined, Fuman can imagine that every household needs the fire generated by coal to cook and heat, and it is more convenient than wood, and the burning time is long enough, only they sell it, and others do not, it is really a huge wealth.

However, they did not have any money, Forman was silent, and sighed: "King Black is rich and has to change his clothes every hour, but we are poor and we can't even afford to eat, but unfortunately King Black has no magicians by his side, and I can't borrow money." ”

"I change my clothes in an hour, and my mother is wearing this dress, and the lace is almost worn out...... Wait, Forman, are you saying it again, is there really a king who changes his clothes in an hour? ”

"Yes, although King Black is only an earl's kingdom, he is really rich, and he is still a very vain king, and he likes to wear beautiful clothes, and he does not hesitate to spend all his money in order to dress beautifully. He cared neither for his army, nor for the plays, nor for the carriage to go to the park, except to show off his new clothes. He had to change his clothes every hour of every day. People mention him and always say: the king is in the dressing room. ”

Yang Yi's eyes lit up immediately, he remembered the famous fairy tale, the emperor's new clothes, there were two unscrupulous liars, the deceived king dripping around, and finally the famous story of walking naked on the street, when he was a child, he watched this fairy tale and laughed at the king in the story, when the reality happened around him, Yang Yi loved this king to death, such a good deceitful king, it is simply a fortune boy.

"Forman, how far is King Black's realm from Rock County?"

"If you ride a horse, you can't stop traveling every day, at least more than half a month away, what are you doing when you inquire about the distance?"

"Ah Fu, I am not only the prince of the Dragon Kingdom, I am also a genius tailor, believe me, I will make the most beautiful clothes in the world, I believe that in order to wear the most beautiful clothes, King Black will be very generous and generous, I need you to accompany me on a trip."

Fuman looked at Yang Yi in disbelief and said, "You are really a tailor and can make clothes?" ”

Yang Yi smiled at him and shouted to Old Sero: "Sero, go and bring me the paper and pen for the master, our manor won't be poor without pens and paper, right?" ”

Of course, there are pens and paper, they are all left by the previous knight, but they are quills and ink, Yang Yi is not polite, lying on the table to unfold the yellowed paper, using a quill pen dipped in ink, sketching a person on the paper, fortunately I learned sketching when I was a child, and I also won awards, otherwise Yang Yi would really have to be blind.

Yang Yi can't design costumes, but he has seen too much, especially in the real world, Hollywood movies are all over the world, and he has watched court dramas, but Yang Yi's favorite is Napoleon, especially the costumes in Napoleon's famous portrait Yang Yi is very impressed, in Yang Yi's pen, a character appears vividly,

Tights, with sleeves, and a lock on the front as a decoration, the length of the dress is above the knee, and the sleeves are of different lengths. A belt is tied around the waist. The long cloak is a formal attire with beautiful colored pendants on the front and back of the cloak. A shawl is a long piece of fabric with pleats that is fastened to the shoulders. The garment was also adorned with a ruffled collar, a French garment with metal buttons, and a sword at the waist.

The standard Napoleonic dress when he ascended the throne, compared with the current men's popular tight-fitting tunic worn in addition to the jacket, the high-necked tunic is simply high-end I don't know how many times, unfortunately there is no colored pen, otherwise the color will be more noble and beautiful.

The first to express her admiration was Erin, who covered her mouth exaggeratedly and said, "My God, I have never seen such a noble and beautiful dress, Lord Knight, you are really a genius......"

Old Sero also admired: "There is a manly atmosphere in the nobility, such clothes are simply beautiful, ah, if I weren't old, I would have made such clothes if I didn't fight my life......"

The dwarves didn't have any feelings and reactions to the beautiful clothes, and they didn't express their opinions indiscriminately, Forman held his own identity, and did not exaggerate Yang Yi's praise, but he was also quite convinced, and asked, "You want to sell this picture to King Black?" ”

"No, I'll help King Black make clothes, and I'll make the most beautiful clothes in the world, and how much do you think King Black will pay me?"

Forman's eyes also lit up, and he said to Yang Yi: "If it is possible, King Black will give you all the gold coins from all over the country, just so that you can wear the most beautiful clothes in the world." ”

"So, you're going to go with me and earn our first pot of gold, hehe...... By the way, will you use magic to make me different from what I am now? I don't want anyone to know who I am, after all, I'm a knight, a nobleman, and I think it's a shame for a noble knight to go and make clothes for King Black. ”

"With this kind of magic, although it can't make you completely another person, it should be possible to make you different from what you are now, and you won't be recognized."

"Okay, okay, then you need your magic, now, let me announce what everyone should do in the days when Forman and I are away, Podol, you take the other six brothers to take care of the coal-producing place, don't make a big fanfare, just watch it quietly, anyway, everyone doesn't know the role of coal, everyone should keep this matter secret, if someone really wants to move the coal, you tell them that this mountain is the territory of the knight lord, whoever wants to move me will fight with them, no matter what, I want you to protect the coal, understand?"

"Do as you command, Lord Knight." Podol bent down and agreed, but Yang Yi said to him: "Don't be busy saluting yet, I haven't finished my order yet, you must know that we don't have much food, and when Fuman and I are not there, we still need you to hunt in the forest to maintain the food of the manor, so it's hard for you." ”

Podol's face was embarrassed, and Yang Yi was also a little embarrassed, but there were only so many people he could use now, and he comforted Podol and said: "The difficulties are only temporary, when I earn money and come back, create an era that belongs to us, you are all participants, what a glorious thing, if one day my power expands and becomes a king, you are all important ministers of the king, I promise you......"

No one has ever paid so much attention to the seven dwarfs, they were driven out by the dwarf clan, and they wanted to prove their existence value, but they were fooled by Yang Yi, and the blood boiled in the flicker, knowing that it was not easy, Podol still patted his chest and agreed, and assured Yang Yi that as long as their seven brothers were there, they would not let old Sero and Erin go hungry.

After encouraging the seven dwarfs, Yang Yi called the loyal four 2s who were guarding the manor and told them to keep old Sero and Erin safe until they returned.
