When the first floor of the new building was completed, all the nobles who had been watching changed their attitudes and supported it, because the new building was not only spacious and bright compared to the old castle, but more importantly, it was quite in the style of a mage tower. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Jiao Ming learned this reason, he was a little confused, and after questioning, he learned that the Mage Tower was quite a weather vane as the residence of the top people in this world, and the magic warriors of the Crocodile Leader had always been quite inferior to not being able to live in a building like the Mage Tower.

Jiao Ming first regretted it, knowing that he had wasted so much time in the first place, and then immediately dispatched manpower to start the construction of the new century building. But I don't want the ice lotus to strike, just because the manufacture of steel bars is too laborious, and it is a hundred times more difficult to simply smelt metal. I had no choice but to slow down, and when the second floor was finished, there was good news: Vera's father spoke.

Binglian was surprised when she heard Xia Feng's report, but Jiao Ming next to her thought for a while and remembered this father and daughter with a super low sense of existence.

"What did the old man say?" asked Binglian.

"Lady Vera showed the old man the coin, and he said, 'This Mossen's gold is good,' and then said that he wanted to meet the maker of the coin. Xia Feng replied truthfully.

"What happened to the old man's hands?" Jiao Ming asked.

"During the time I came to the territory, the water magic rose from the peak of the fourth ring to the fifth ring, but there was still a long way to go from the sixth ring, so my hand was still broken. Xia Feng replied.

"It's good to be willing to talk, it's better than looking half-dead in the summer. Binglian nodded and got up, and said casually, "Then go and meet." ”

"Don't go!, you haven't finished the steel bar today!" Jiao Ming hurriedly stopped the ice lotus who wanted to sneak away.

"Today is the official holiday of the crocodile collar, as long as you work for half a day. Bing Lian paused, muttering for a few seconds before talking serious nonsense.

Jiao Ming laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "You have made up all these words, then rest for a long time." ”

When the two came to the old man, as soon as they said a few words, Jiao Ming regretted coming over, with Jiao Ming's lingua franca level, he could only understand a rough idea, and he couldn't understand the core vocabulary at all. Jiao Minggan stared at him for about half an hour before Binglian saluted and left the room, Jiao Ming asked, "What's the matter?"

"The old man wants to take a walk, but I'm a little unsure, so I have to ask my mother. Binglian replied. The current crocodile collar is not a state of poverty and no secrets in the summer, not to mention the cement furnace, the metal smelter on the perforation of the West Cookton Wall alone is not a random entry for outsiders, and the method of penetrating the West Cookton Wall and the endless ore veins buried under the West Cookton Wall are the core secrets.

After listening to Binglian's story, Ms. Ziyu also frowned, and after a long time, she said, "Let's put him in the core layer of the construction company." The meaning of the words is very simple, that is, to open the secret of cement production to the old man, and at the same time imply that the crocodile has alchemy, and as for the secret of alchemy, I am sorry.

"So how about Evan do the same? It would be very helpful for us if that person could be involved in the management of the construction company. Jiao Ming interjected and asked.

"Oh?" Ms. Ziyu looked at Jiao Ming with a smile for a long time, and then continued: "Have you changed your attitude?

"So obvious?" Jiao Ming said in surprise.

Ms. Ziyu smiled and didn't answer, just waved her hand and said, "The construction company is you and the director of Binglian, and you two decide for yourself." ”

Jiao Ming turned his head and cast an inquiring look at Binglian. Binglian thought for a moment and said, "I agree, this Evan said that he was traveling, and it really doesn't look like he will stay for a long time." I guess I'll leave after I understand the secrets of the division of work system, so it's a shame not to take the opportunity to use it. ”

"Oh yes. Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Ms. Ziyu said as if she had suddenly remembered something, "You are going to have a younger brother or sister." ”

Binglian was stunned for a moment, then was pleasantly surprised, and asked, "Really?" and stepped forward to stare at Lady Purple Feather's belly. Jiao Ming was also shocked, so that he had no idea of inheritance, but was just worried about Ms. Ziyu's body. Although I don't know the actual age of Ms. Ziyu, she should be over forty years old, and such an advanced maternal age is both hard and dangerous.

Ms. Ziyu touched the head of the ice lotus and began to say some private words, Jiao Ming exited the room with interest after listening to the beginning, looking at the blue sky that was exceptionally high in winter in a daze.

......

The old man and Evan decided the matter, but the construction company with a senior manager and a senior mechanic did not accelerate its development. The old man just looked at it and didn't say a word, which at least wasn't annoying. And Evan went too far, not to mention being late for work and leaving early, and still stuck to Jiao Ming to inquire about the corporate structure and management model copied from the earth. Jiao Ming took this opportunity to get out the iron mold for making square bricks: a row of fixed-size interlocking iron boxes.

The method of use is very simple, the coolies stuff the yellow mud and compact, the fire magician uses the mud to stone spell to transform into square bricks, turn it upside down and tap it gently, and a row of steaming red bricks is freshly baked. After explaining that this was the material of the partition wall of the new building, the high-rise quickly recognized this thing, and at the same time urged the progress of the new house, Jiao Ming and Binglian glanced at each other and agreed with a wry smile. At this point, the construction company was assigned to a large number of coolies who made square brick embryos.

And these coolies who joined the ducal enterprise finally received some attention from the lords. First of all, in terms of clothing, from barely freezing to death, to a full set of winter clothes, and the aspect of food has also changed from barely starving to the level of food during the autumn harvest.

When the construction of the three-story building was completed, it had been nearly fifty days since the Crocodile Duke left, and Jiao Ming had finally completed the rebirth of the severed limbs. Because the soles of his feet were halfway through the growth, Jiao Ming, who was fully recovered, didn't feel much about it and didn't have much joy. However, Xiao Shi was very happy, grabbed Jiao Ming's left hand and looked at it, and rubbed it on his face for a long time.

"My feet have also grown, do you want to see it?" Jiao Ming teased.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, it stinks so bad!" said Xiao Shi coquettishly.

Jiao Ming smiled slightly and didn't care, took the little poem in his arms like a pillow, turned his thoughts back to a large pile of data on the table, after nearly 90 days of comparative experiments, the experimental data had been counted and sent to Jiao Ming's desk. The experiment was very successful, and the preliminary conclusion was that during the three rings, striking iron and moving stones had a significant effect on improving the affinity of the magic medium of the ring water system.

After the dozens of three-ring teenagers were trained in muscles, although they were not directly promoted to the fourth ring, after being identified by the high-ring magic warriors who stayed behind, they did have a more significant improvement than the control group. Because this improvement was not as huge as expected, Ms. Purple Feather and the higher-ups who stayed behind were still cautious about the new 'work cultivation method'. Jiao Ming's job at this time is to find out the really useful influencing factors from those teenagers, and then design the next stage of the experiment.

At this time, Binglian pushed the door in, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "It's all your new house, it's going on again." ”

"What?" Jiao Ming asked with a smile, putting Xiaoshi aside by the way, it was too impolite to hold a little doll and talk to people.

"Those people almost got into a fight to buy a new house. ”

"Didn't you say the price was raised?"

"Everyone can see the work division system, isn't it unpopular to set a sky-high price?" Binglian said with a wry smile.

"There are still fewer people, less work, and the system is simple. If hundreds of millions of people play this game, they will be confused. Jiao Ming said maliciously, and by the way, he stretched out his hand to ask Binglian to sit down.

"What else can you do?" said Ice Lotus, the purpose of coming.

Jiao Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Let's draw lots in the drawing room." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"When are you going to go to school in the south?" Jiao Ming asked. In the bargain with the Wizards' Guild, a place in a high-level magic academy was given to Ice Lotus, which was both to impart knowledge and to become hostages in disguise, just like when they were educated in the castle manor.

"That high-level magic academy on paper can only be officially operated after the Spring Ploughing Festival at the earliest, and conservatively I can stay in the crocodile collar for more than sixty days. ”

"In other words, if you work harder, you can build two new buildings?" Jiao Ming was a little dissatisfied with the amount of work. The current steel bar completely relies on the fire magic of the ice lotus, and the situation of getting stuck in the neck is very serious.

"You want to exhaust me?" said Binglian dissatisfied.

"Oh yes, what happened to those fire mage apprentices?

"Clever people can't believe it, although those who are from the family of magical warriors are credible, but their brains are a little stupid, and they have a kind of brute strength to do their work, but it is very difficult to learn new things. Binglian shook her head and sighed, obviously distressed by this.

"I don't agree with that, I'm bullish on those people. Jiao Ming took out a piece of paper full of data and handed it to Binglian, explaining: "In my opinion, diligence and hard work are more useful qualities than being smart and clever. If you look at the boy with the highest promotion, his work schedule is simply a schedule of work and rest, and if I had been so diligent, I might have been admitted to a better university. ”

"You're off topic, aren't you?" Binglian glanced at her, and although she was slightly surprised, she still reminded with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Looking at the data, I just thought that maybe magic is something that can be learned with the body, and the body is no worse at learning than the brain. ”

"Are you saying that you can improve by practicing non-stop?" Binglian frowned and pondered for a moment, then slapped Jiao Ming on the shoulder: "You still have to exhaust me!"

"Whatever you want. Jiao Ming smiled, then switched back to the house, and then explained: "These three apartment buildings are seventy-two rooms, and we draw lots from the families who are interested in buying them. In this way, one is to improve the supply and alleviate the contradiction, and the other is not to complain. ”

"They'll buy something that doesn't have a shadow?"

This time, the house was no longer purchased by the side branches of small and large families, but by families with certain titles of nobility, who wanted to live in a 'decent' house that somewhat resembled the Mage's Tower. And it was the backbone of this group of crocodile leaders who made a fuss that gave Binglian mother and daughter a headache.

"Such a novel way of buying will indeed reduce the willingness to buy, but isn't this exactly what we want?" Recalling the drawbacks in the lottery in Zhongguo's first-tier cities, Jiao Ming asked again: "They won't resell, right?"

"How is it possible, it's a shame to be dead. Binglian, who was in deep thought, immediately spoke in denial.

"That's good, it saves a lot of trouble. ”

"There seems to be no better way. ”

"Of course, there is, to expand production. Jiao Ming said.

"It's simple. Binglian complained: "You don't know how difficult it is to make that so-called steel bar, it's like picking out a raindrop from the snowflakes flying in the sky." ”

"I don't know how to use fire magic, so it's useless to talk to me. Jiao Ming smiled and said, "How is that small iron-making blast furnace?"

"It's barely a success. We're about to give up on building the big blast furnace in your drawings and cast a medium-sized one. The first is that the welding method was not found, and the second is that after calculating the mineral yield, we found that it seems that the medium-sized one is sufficient. ”

"How about transferring the molten iron to another furnace, finding a way to reduce the carbon content, and then controlling the content of other trace elements, and making it directly into molten steel?" Jiao Ming vaguely remembered that the earth's steel mills were doing this.

"Do you have any drawings?" asked Binglian.

"I just happened to remember the last drawing, and I really can't help it this time. Jiao Ming shrugged. Schizophrenia is a disease that no one will believe in this world, and if it is not good, it will be regarded as an evil and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and more importantly, that personality seems to have really shrunk back, and he has never responded to Jiao Ming's message for so many days.

"I can still feel the edge of reducing the carbon content, and forget about the trace elements that have not yet been proven. ”

"I think you should also have a lab, like this one. Jiao Ming waved his arm and showed the room full of large and small hollow steel sheets. "It's important to put the knowledge of chemistry to the test. ”

"Not available!" Binglian said angrily.

"Sharpening knives is not wrong to chop firewood. ”

"I'm going to earn more prestige before I leave, that's the right thing. Binglian was blunt, obviously not treating Jiao Ming as an outsider.

"That's right. Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and suggested, "I remember that one of the first five apprentices had a good talent, how about letting him preside over the laboratory?"

"He's dead. Bing Lian's voice was cold.

"Huh?" Jiao Ming was shocked. "When, how did he die? ”

"Shortly after the production of copper coins, murder. Binglian gritted her teeth and said the last two words.

"No, it won't. ”

"Actually, I was negligent and said too many things to him, but I didn't protect him. Binglian shook her head and sighed to blame herself.

"Has the murderer been found?"

"There's no clue at all, it's too easy for those high-ring magic warriors who are crawling around on the battlefield to pinch a little fire magician to death. ”

Jiao Ming suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and there was endless fear in his heart, only then did he think of how timely the protection of Huang Xia Zimang's sister and brother was, and after thinking about it deeply, he found a problem, and said with some hesitation: "Ms. Ziyu was very timely when she protected me and me." ”

The implication is to ask if Binglian has not been reminded.

"My mother said it was a lesson for me. ”

Jiao Ming was stunned, and waited for the dead person with Lady Purple Feather, and then the punch of Lady Purple Feather during the autumn harvest flashed in his mind, and then asked: "Those Qi Magician apprentices of mine are fine, especially Zhuo Shan, who doesn't even have a water magic talent, is there anyone to protect them." ”

"Because you don't need education in this area, someone has been secretly protecting it for a long time. ”

"!" Jiao Ming was completely speechless,
