Next, in order to cope with the arrival of the First Royal Knights, Chen Xiao took Arya back to Blackstone Castle.

The long-awaited hot spring trip seems to be a long way off.

After returning to the territory of Blackstone Castle, Chen Xiao summoned Lux, Rashana, and Rovinica and other cadres.

During this time, they managed Blackstone Castle, and there were no major problems.

As the director of the Economic Development Office and the acting lord, Rovinica became more and more comfortable with the operation of the territory as she became more and more familiar with various businesses, and with her growing popularity and reputation in the territory.

The steel refinery has been completed and put into production under the auspices of Sapu, with blast furnaces like giant Sydneys neatly lined up in the production workshop, and workers are in full swing to make iron, producing ten tons of steel every day.

The newly built coal mining company next door to the steel refinery can supply coking coal to the steel refinery around the clock without delay.

Cement factories and coal smelters have been set up and divided into industrial zones, and the large buns have been completely demolished and rebuilt.

The shipyard is already ready to work, day and night, assembling the first merchant ship.

Luo Vinica faithfully implemented Chen Xiao's various plans, and arranged them even more carefully and carefully than Chen Xiao.

Looking at this layout, Chen Xiao suddenly felt that Blackstone Fort was developing towards an industrialized town.

"Well done, Rovinica. ”

Chen Xiao stood in the lord's office, looking at the various factory buildings in the territory, thick black smoke billowing from the chimneys of the coal refinery and steel refinery into the sky, and the sky looked gray and heavy.

Chen Xiao grinned, his face aching.

It seems that he needs to think about how to collect black smoke and turn waste into treasure and reduce the emission of these pollutants.

After all, he can't bear to always harm the beautiful other world.

Rovinica straightened her body and tucked her chest and abdomen......

A pair of large murder weapons shook slightly in the air.

Chen Xiao retracted his gaze and looked at Rovinica, and secretly praised: It's really big!

"Thank you for the compliment, but my lord, I want to report something to you. Rovinica said with a serious face, "My lord, we have no money. ”

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "I know." ”

Immediately, he couldn't help but make a bitter face, plucked out his ears, and looked bitter: "What did you say?

Rovinica smiled bitterly, "Yes, my lord. In particular, in terms of iron ore procurement, the consumption is too large, and we cannot continue to maintain iron ore procurement from outside. ”

A lot of money has to be invested in all kinds of construction in the territory, and it is not immediately effective, plus the food and clothing of 5,000 people, and the consumption of training, the finances have been in a state of making ends meet.

In particular, the consumption of iron ore, because of the birth of steel smelters and the widespread use of steel, the consumption of iron ore is huge.

They had already spent fifty or sixty thousand gold coins on the purchase of iron ore alone, accounting for most of the financial expenditure.

Being able to persist until now, Rovinica has been very shocked by Chen Xiao's heritage.

If it weren't for the development of the territory, Chen Xiao's net worth would be absolutely unimaginable.

Chen Xiao sat down and sighed, "It seems that I am a poor life." ”

Seeing this, both Arya and Rovinica couldn't help but laugh.

The originally very serious report meeting was unexpectedly distorted by Chen Xiao, and there was no one left.

"Arya, how are the finances of Rodri Village, how much money is left?" Chen Xiao closed his eyes and began to think about how to make money and how to reduce expenditure.

Arya opened the notebook in her hand and said in a calm tone, "There are still 8,000 gold coins left in the village because there are 12,000 gold coins that the adults just earned from the tax collector to make up the financial deficit. Fifty percent of the taxes paid by the villagers were worth only 200 gold coins. ”

Rovinica tilted her head, dazed.

Although she knew that Chen Xiao was the village imperial history of Rodri Village, she didn't expect that Chen Xiao had completely controlled Rodri Village in her hands.

If the two territories are connected, then the territory area that Chen Xiao actually owns is very large.

Chen Xiao pondered for a while and said, "Half of the funds will be transferred first." Food was stopped from outside and was delivered directly from the village of Rodri. ”

"Let Zhao Geyan start the merchant trade, do everything possible to find a home, sell our honeycomb coal, of course, place an order for the smelter, make a coal-burning furnace, and bundle it with honeycomb coal. ”

"Rovinica, organize a team of explorers to find new sources. It's best if you can find a new iron ore, and I'll get it for you later. ”

Luo Vinica was speechless at Chen Xiao's whimsical thoughts.

Is it so easy to find new ore sources?

However, seeing Chen Xiao's various unprecedented innovations, Rovinica felt that it was possible for Chen Xiao to make a tool that could fly.

This guy is a ghost!

Thinking is not on the same channel as a mortal like her at all.

Luo Vinica found that Chen Xiao had been staring at her, she couldn't help tilting her head, her pretty face showed a hint of blush, and she wondered, "My lord, have I had flowers on my face?"

Chen Xiao smiled: "Rovinica, do you still like the gift?"

Rovinica noticed Chen Xiao's lewd gaze, and immediately covered her chest, her face was full of shame, and she ran out of the office without looking back.

"My lord is such a big villain!"

Chen Xiao touched his nose and smiled.

"Arya, am I the big bad?"

Arya: "......"

You are blatantly flirting with a sister like this, not a big bad guy, what else can it be?

Arya couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her chest, and distanced herself from Chen Xiao, so as not to be bullied by Chen Xiao, the big villain.

Chen Xiao: "......" (╯□╰)

Iron ore detector, also known as magnetometer, is an instrument that uses the principle of fluxgate and computer intelligent control to survey underground iron burials.

This kind of magnetometer, don't think about it at all.

Chen Xiao hasn't even built a battery now, let alone an intelligent computer.

At present, Chen Xiao can only make the most primitive magnetometer, the magnetic compass, according to the principle of the compass, to sense whether the ore contains iron.

After Chen Xiao asked Arya to come up with the design of the magnetic compass, he handed it over to the craftsmen in the village to tinker with.

Arya's painting skills are getting deeper and deeper, and what she paints looks like makes Chen Xiao amazed.

"Arya, it's a great help to have you there. ”

Chen Xiao sighed.

If it were placed in his world, Arya with such a profound painting attainment, would definitely become a famous painter.

Using just charcoal and quills, Arya is able to draw objects with a sense of realism that leaps onto paper.

In addition to being a painter, Arya is also a translator who can speak four languages, which makes Chen Xiaoqing embarrassed......

Arya smiled slightly, showing a gentle and satisfied smile: "Arya is also very happy to be able to help the adults." ”

Chen Xiao gave her a new lease of life.

Arya felt that this was what she should do, otherwise, she would not be able to reflect her own value and gain Chen Xiao's attention.

She hopes that Chen Xiao can pay more attention to her......

Chen Xiao stared at Arya.

This black-haired and white-skinned beauty has a kind of intellectual beauty and outstanding temperament, and she is really a goddess and a scholar.

Being stared at by Chen Xiao's strange gaze, Arya couldn't cry or laugh: "My lord, do I have flowers on my face?"

"No, I'm just wondering, does the gift I gave you fit?"

Arya blushed, covered her chest with her hands and turned to run, leaving a sentence: "My lord is really a big pervert!"
