"Of course, Xu Yi, His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department also hope that since the tax is exempted, these farmland magic machines of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can also be reduced accordingly, at least so that all the nobles with territories in the kingdom can afford it. Count Satsuma added.

"Please tell the King Your Majesty, and say that this is what our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should do. Perhaps you should also tell His Majesty the King about the farmer support program implemented by our chamber of commerce, so that his majesty will know what a socially responsible chamber of commerce our chamber of commerce is. Xu Yi said with a smile.

"What is a sense of social responsibility, why do you always have some strange words coming out of your mouth?" Count Satsuma looked at Xu Yi with a puzzled expression. "Of course, I also reported to His Majesty the King that you have implemented the farmer support program, and His Majesty also greatly appreciates it, and says that he wants to hear your explanation carefully when he summons you, and you must be prepared as well. ”

"Well, I will definitely get His Majesty the King to fully approve of this plan, and it is better to spread this plan within the kingdom as well. Xu Yi nodded.

"It's okay to give advice when you see His Majesty the King, but remember, you can't talk nonsense. If you're still as open-mouthed as you are in front of me and that kid Leslie, don't blame me for not warning you if something happens. Count Satsuma said earnestly. "Xu Yi, now you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very popular objects in our Bangta City, no matter what you do, you should be careful. ”

Xu Yi looked at Count Satsuma with some surprise, thinking that the city lord's words were not just casually said, but a kind reminder.

"By the way, I forgot, you're still a magician. The Magicians' Guild exam will be held in Anweimar next month, so you should go back and participate, right?" Count Satsuma asked again.

"Well, I've already discussed with Grand Magician Camilla, and I'll be there when the time comes. ”

"Well, since you'll be going to Anvimar next month, don't make any more trips. I'll send another letter to His Majesty the King when I go back today, telling him this, and let His Majesty summon you by the way when you take the Magicians' Guild Examination. ”

Xu Yi hurriedly smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord City, for thinking so much about me." ”

Count Satsuma snorted coldly: "I took such good care of you for the sake of these farmland magic machines you invented, if these farmlands in Leslie don't make any good results next year, do you think I will be polite to you at that time?"

Xu Yi laughed: "Please rest assured, Lord City, even if I work hard, I will definitely let Lord Viscount's farmland harvest!"

###

Two days later, Xu also appeared in the dwarven tribe from which Master Lanu was born.

This time was different from the last time I came with Master Lanu, because Xu Yi funded and the dwarves contributed to build a flat road from the dwarf tribe to the outer avenue, Xu Yi could directly enter the dwarf tribe by carriage this time.

It was the first time that many dwarven children in the tribe had seen such a thing as a carriage, and they involuntarily surrounded them.

Xu Yi distributed the candy and snacks that he had prepared a long time ago, which immediately caused a burst of cheers from the children.

The dwarven patriarch Sluka greeted him with a big smile: "President Xu, you haven't been here for so long, I thought you had forgotten about us dwarven friends." ”

Xu Yi also laughed and bent down to hug Sluka hard, and then pointed to Camby, who was with him, and said, "Then how can it be, Camby and those dwarf brothers I have to get along with every day, every time I see them, I think of my dwarven friends who are still here." I was so busy some time ago, so I didn't come over. How's it going?

"Thanks to your funding, President Xu, our tribe's life is much better now than before. Not only do the children not go hungry every day, but they are also able to wear a few new clothes. Sluka laughed.

"No, no, Patriarch Sluka, those gold coins aren't grants, they're research grants, you know? Xu Yi deliberately repeated it.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Sluka's honest face, and he touched his head a little embarrassedly, lowered his voice, "This...... President Xu, to tell you the truth, although we have made many practical products according to the recipe you gave us during this time, none of them have been able to successfully burn the kind of alloy steel you said...... You see......"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that if the material research was so easy to succeed, he would not have such a headache now.

Patting Sluka on the shoulder and comforting, "It's okay, it's time-consuming to study this thing, and I didn't expect you to actually research it in just two months." You just need to continue experimenting in the future, don't worry. ”

A blush appeared on Sluka's face.

The dwarves are all honest, and the more Xu Yi shows that he doesn't care, the more they feel that they can't go.

Camby on the side looked anxious, but he also knew that it was inconvenient for him to say something for the patriarch, so he could only keep scratching his head and sighing.

Seeing the reaction of the two dwarves, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that if this matter was put on the earth, it must be the institution in charge of the research that did everything possible to shirk it, claiming that it had encountered various difficulties, and asked investors to further increase their investment funds.

And on the heads of these dwarves, a mere five hundred gold coins had already made them so unhappy.

In fact, the five hundred gold coins that Xu Yi paid every month was to pull dwarven craftsmen from this dwarven tribe, and now the one hundred dwarves led by Kanbi are worth more than five hundred gold coins for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce every month.

Moreover, these dwarven craftsmen now have access to the most advanced magic machines and a series of magic machines that are worth far more than a simple gold coin.

Camby once told Xu Yi that several chambers of commerce had contacted him privately, claiming that they were willing to pay him and his dwarves a salary of up to twenty gold coins a month to let them work in other chambers of commerce, but Camby refused.

Seeing that Sluka and Camby were a little embarrassed, Xu Yi thought about it and waved his hand: "That's it, Patriarch Sluka, you take me to see your research results, I may be able to provide you with some advice." ”

Patriarch Sluka nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, President Xu, you know these things best, if you go and take a look, maybe you can have a better opinion." ”

Xu Yi and Camby, led by Sluka, enter a huge cave and are greeted by a wave of heat.

If you look closely, the interior of this cave is more than ten meters high, and the space inside the cave is even the size of a standard football field, and inside the cave are all kinds of large and small furnaces built with stones, and at this time, most of these furnaces are bursting with raging fires, and the dwarves next to them are constantly adding something to the furnace.

"President Xu, you see, at the beginning, we experimented according to the recipes you gave, but it was always unsuccessful, and then the clansmen began to experiment with adding different things to the molten iron, and then there were all kinds of messy ...... Well...... It's the kind of alloy you said, but none of them can meet the requirements of the kind of alloy steel you said. Sluka introduced, somewhat ashamedly.

"Oh, all sorts of messy alloys, where's that? Let me see. Xu also asked with interest.

"Well, it's all piled up here. Sluka led Xu Yi to a corner of the cave and pointed to the mountain of iron lumps in front of him.

Xu Yi glanced at the iron mountain, which was two feet high, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the iron ball in the middle of the iron mountain that reflected a little fire.

Climbing up and taking down this iron ball, Xu Yi was stunned to find that in addition to some impurities mixed in by the unqualified smelting, the entire appearance of this iron ball was actually very smooth, and the surface showed a bright silver color, without a trace of rust that iron should have.

Xu Yi weighed this iron ball, and unexpectedly found that this iron ball was still very light, and he reached out and knocked it, but it did not make any hollow sound, proving that it was still solid inside.

"Is this thing still iron?" Xu also wondered.

Asked Sluka to bring a hammer, and then knocked it down vigorously, the iron ball only changed shape slightly on the surface, and there was no sign of cracking, which shows that the hardness of this iron ball is very good.

"I'll go, what kind of alloy is this?," Xu Yi couldn't help but get excited in his heart, and asked Sluka, "Patriarch Sluka, how did this iron ball come from?"

Sluka took the iron ball from Xu Yi's hand and looked through it, found a pattern mark at the bottom of the iron ball, and beckoned an extremely bearded dwarf to come over.

"Muru, you burned this iron ball, right? Now President Xu is very interested, tell me, how did it burn?"

The dwarf named Muru's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Yi expectantly: "President Xu, is this thing useful?"

Xu Yi nodded: "Although there is no way to test all its performance yet, but for now, it should be useful." ”

Mu Lu immediately said happily: "That's great! We've been tossing for so long, and we've tried thousands of formulas, but we haven't been able to figure out what kind of alloy steel you said, and I thought it wouldn't work, but I didn't think that there was one useful now!"

Sluka glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, President Xu asked how you came up with it, just answer well." ”

Mu Lu suppressed the excitement in his heart at this time, but Tieqiu looked at it, tilted his head and recalled it carefully, and slowly replied: "This thing was accidentally poured into a jar of silver leaf grass powder when I was making a real yàn......"
