Today is the Ladong Festival in Yidi, and the whole Yidi is in jubilation. In particular, after Fucheng became a steel factory, the economic center of Yidi gradually shifted to Fucheng.

The smelter in Fucheng has installed a waterwheel, and the kinetic energy generated by the waterwheel has greatly improved the efficiency of the plant. Nowadays, if you want to say which place has the best treatment in Yidi, it naturally belongs to the ghost side, and among the ghost parties is naturally the workers of the Smelting and Manufacturing Bureau. Since Lin Tian's real-time remuneration system, once it was promoted, it became popular all over Yidi, and people got their respective salaries, and they could exchange whatever materials they wanted, as they wanted.

And the remuneration was not coins, but pieces of iron minted by the Manufacture Bureau. This is the alternative method that Lin Tian is looking for, using molds to manufacture iron sheets with unique patterns in large quantities, and there are words and numbers on the iron sheets, indicating what goods and quantities the iron pieces are used to exchange, and Lin Tian calls it iron money to the outside world.

The reason why Lin Tian didn't use coins for the first time was because the Yi people needed a process of adaptation, from the previous barter to coin trading, a transition period was needed, and iron money was the substitute that Lin Tian used for the transition.

Yiren can take it to any store under the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce to buy goods, and in addition to the unique pattern of iron money, there is another point that cannot be imitated, that is, the material of iron money, using the latest type of iron, which is much tougher than ordinary iron. You can immediately distinguish the authenticity with a knife carving, and the three families of Yidi all stipulate that once the counterfeiter is discovered, he will be punished.

As for why the three families stipulated at the same time, naturally Soto didn't want to give up taking a hitchhiker, Lin Tian and Wu Lao were people who cared about civilians, and they would not refuse Soto's request. The condition is that after joining the Chamber of Commerce, the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce will operate freely in Soto, without interfering with the development of the Chamber of Commerce, and as a reward, the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce will provide a channel to trade Soto's goods. Therefore, the three are equivalent to being in the same boat, and they naturally have to protect their own interests.

The Ladon Festival is a tradition in Yidi to welcome the arrival of winter and pray for the safe passage of the people through this winter. But nowadays, people don't seem to need the latter point, only to celebrate.

In the hall of Fucheng, the lights were bright, and many people were sitting in the hall, discussing important matters. Today's chamber is a wooden house, unlike the marquees of the past. Lin Tian didn't like tents very much, and felt that life was primitive, so he made wooden houses, and most of today's Fucheng are in the process of being replaced, and even the wooden houses are in turmoil and other parts.

Because the wooden house is not only sturdy, has a long service life, but also is beautiful and practical, and the space is large, one floor is not enough to build two floors, so it is widely welcomed. Today, Fucheng has become the fashion industry of Yidi, and all the new things that come out of Fucheng are imitated by everyone. Lin Tian himself likes new things, and the new things he often makes are incomprehensible to outsiders, and Lin Tian explained to the outside world that people need endless creativity. Therefore, they all imitated Lin Tian, and Yidi also admired creative people very much, and thought that it was a sign of intelligence, so Yidi was not only Lin Tian, but also others would often create some new things.

Today, the main principals from the three departments came to Fucheng to meet Lin Tian, firstly, to celebrate the achievements of the past days on this festival, and secondly, to discuss a new plan.

Although the three parts of Yidi are not particularly far apart, it usually takes two or three days to get from one to the other. Lin Tian believed that distance would hinder the communication and development of the three departments, so he proposed a transportation plan.

Build a rail transit line between each of the three sections, erect two wooden rails on the road, and install special wheels on the carriage to make the wheels stuck on the wooden rails, so that horses in front of them will move quickly.

In order to make everyone more understanding, Lin Tian led people outside and demonstrated it with the physical model that had been prepared for a long time. But the disadvantages of this kind of traffic are also obvious, that is, there can be no big turns, and the route needs to be at least as straight as possible.

Everyone was still immersed in shock, and Lin Tian said: "The Chamber of Commerce can't do business after winter, everyone is free, and it is very convenient to transport raw materials by sled, so it is suitable to build transportation this winter." ”

Since there is a desert between Yidi and the Southern Kingdom, it is difficult for ordinary people to cross this desert at all, so the communication line between Yidi and the South is the Fu River next to this Fu City. The Fu River flows from north to south, and the main source of water for the supply of the Fu River is the melting of glaciers in the north, so around the winter is the dry season of the Fu River, and the fleet cannot pass, nor can it go to the south, and it cannot be traded.

"Ah, what the Lord of the Lin League said is very true, we can't just be idle in winter, it's good to have something to do!"

"Haha, I'm not afraid of your jokes, if you suddenly get idle, you really can't adapt to it, if you have something to do, Lord Lin is worthy of being a genius in the sky."

The leaders of Wuheng and Soto both expressed their positions, and Lin Tian continued: "The transportation construction cost this time is paid from the profits of the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce, Tianmeng will pay fifty percent, Wuheng will pay thirty percent, and Soto will pay two percent. What do the two leaders think? ”

"Very good, I agree with Lin Meng's proposal." Wuheng's old man Wu said.

"No, no, I, Soto, am very grateful to you for taking care of you, but for this matter that benefits the whole land, I can't be stingy. I, Soto, and Uheng are both on the third floor, and I hope that the two of them will make me Soto contribute more. ”

Lin Tian and Old Man Wu were a little surprised, they usually can't do it, why are they suddenly generous today. Is there really a sense of collective responsibility?

In fact, Zaga is unwilling to be inferior, and usually some things are forgotten, but this time it is something that the entire Yidi will pay attention to, and even future generations will remember. He is also the head of a department, and his status is no different from the other two, so he naturally does not want to be a dwarf.

What he thought in his heart was that he couldn't compare to Tianmeng, after all, Tianmeng mastered the core technology and was also the initiator of the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce, and his wealth naturally couldn't be compared with it, and it wasn't a shame to compare, but if he was lower than Wuheng, then he Soto was the bottom existence. In order not to be at the bottom, Zaga gritted his teeth and added an extra ingredient, just to be on an equal footing with Wu Heng.

Anyway, now that he has boarded the big ship of the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce, he Soto is not worried about no income. In fact, in addition to using Tianmeng's channels to transport goods out and sell, Soto also sold the rough iron ore in Soto to Tianmeng, and obtained a lot of profits. So this is also the reason why Zaga has the confidence and generosity to speak.

After talking about the matter, Zaga left the city with the old man Wu, and when he left the city, he saw a team of Heavenly Alliance soldiers in iron armor at the gate of the city. Old man Wu said in a joking tone to Zaga next to him: "See, let's go all the way, the patrol soldiers are all this kind of armor, I guess the Tianmeng has all been loaded." This is the strength of the Heavenly Alliance, let's honestly follow behind and drink some soup is stronger than before! ”

If the old man Wu pointed to something, how could Zaga not understand. When the two of them went back to their respective territories, Zhaga looked at the departing old man and cursed secretly: Old immortal, do you still need you to beat me? It's not that I don't have eyes, and I still need your fake reminder.

Zaga couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried about the rise of the Heavenly Alliance, and the joy was that after boarding the ship of the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce, Soto's economy improved significantly. And the sad thing is that after the first battle of Wuheng, Wuheng and the ghost side have lost their strength, and I thought that when it was time for Soto to come out, I didn't expect that this Heavenly Alliance, which replaced the ghost side, would rise strongly. By the way, Wu Heng's strength has also recovered a lot, and in this case, Zhaga did not have the shame to beg Wu Heng and Tianmeng to let him join the Chamber of Commerce.

After the discussion of the Winter Festival, the three departments began to select the location of the route, and these three roads were called straight roads by the Yi people because they were straight. Based on a rough map, the construction workers, choose the right place to mark. Once these locations have been marked, the raw materials will be transported to these locations by sled. Wooden rails are made by workers who cut down the trees and then undergo special antiseptic treatment, and these wooden rails are made of thick and compact wood, and then processed to create wooden rails.

When the sections of wooden rails are transported to a specific location by sled, there is no rush to build them, but they are stored in warehouses. This is due to the fact that the soil is covered with snow in winter and the frozen soil is hard and difficult to excavate, so the wooden rails are stored in these locations first, and when the snow melts in the spring, it is convenient to use materials in situ for construction.

Nowadays, in addition to transporting wooden rails to storage points every day, workers are also building some transfer stations. At every certain distance, a transfer station will be built on the straight, which will be used for pedestrians on the straight road to rest or stay overnight or change lanes. The carriage is designed to be fitted with special wheels to walk on the straights, and if you want to go elsewhere, you just need to go to the transit station and change the special wheels and replace them with normal wheels.

At the same time, the transfer station is operated by the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce, and its profit share is the same as the share of capital contribution. In this way, the three parts are not completely free to build straights, and the profit return of the transfer station is slow but long-lasting.

These projects alone are enough for the people of the three departments to work all winter, Lin Tian opened a school in order to improve the knowledge level of the ghost people, and the school age is under 16 years old, that is, the age of adulthood stipulated in Yidi. At present, there is only one city in Fucheng, and the tuition is free of charge in the first-level selection, and there is also a monthly living allowance. As for the source of these fees, the school also has classes for the rich, and those who can afford the tuition fees can enroll.

Tianmeng's resources are limited, so it is natural to give priority to cultivating outstanding talents, which will be more powerful for the development of Tianmeng. Otherwise, Lin Tian would not be able to find a talented person except for Dolu and Fang Hao, two right-hand men to rely on. It's not because the knowledge level of the Yidi people limits their ability, so the disgusting cycle formed from generation to generation has led to the pitiful few people who can produce a few great talents in Yidi.

Therefore, Lin Tiancai made up his mind to change the current situation, the development of Tianmeng urgently needs the addition of talents, without the continuous participation of talents, Lin Tianmeng alone will not make great progress. Knowledge is the great carrier of ability and destiny, so the ghost people are eager for this, and they have sent their children to the school in Fucheng for selection, only hoping that their family can produce a talented person and change their own fate.
