Compared with the steel plant, the production scene of the cement factory is not so shocking, but because of the flying gray stones, it looks very dirty, which makes Steele, who came for the first time, frown.

Vivien didn't show any dislike for the environment, and when she was a slave under Viscount Leslie, she didn't live much better than here.

And Xu Yi originally thought that Yanis, who was the most unacceptable to this environment, should be the most exclusive here, but he didn't expect Yanis to just watch quietly and not express any opinions.

"Yanis, don't you think the environment here is very bad?" Xu Yi couldn't help but ask.

Yanise shook her head, "I think it's bad. However, we elves are very adaptable to the environment, and the environment here has no effect on me. ”

"I thought you elves were as demanding as the rumors suggested. Xu Yi muttered.

"Yes. We elves are a race that pursues perfection, although they can adapt well to various environments, but they have high requirements for the place where they live and live. If you go to our tribe, you will find that the place where we live is very beautiful. ”

"I believe it. Xu Yi immediately nodded, thought for a while, pointed to the dirty-looking cement factory in front of him and asked, "Then do you think there is any way to improve the environment here?"

"If only the dwarves here didn't continue to burn the stones to ashes. Annis replied as a matter of course.

Xu Yi couldn't help but sullen for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "What I'm asking is to improve the environment while maintaining the continuous operation of this cement plant, is there a way?"

Yanis frowned slightly, thinking for a moment. Nodding slightly: "There should be a way." Near our tribe grows a kind of still grass that absorbs dust from the air. Keep the environment clean. But there's so much dust here, I don't know if it's going to work. ”

"It's good to try. Xu also got a satisfactory answer. Immediately laughed. "When I get to your tribe, I'll ask your elders to help me transplant some of the Stillwater Grass. ”

Seeing that Yanis responded, Xu Yi turned his head to the Patriarch Sluby on the side and said, "Patriarch Sluby, I asked you to move the living quarters of the clansmen to a farther place last time, so as not to be affected by the smoke and dust here, why did I find that you didn't do anything this time?"

Patriarch Sluby smiled and patted his thick chest and said, "President Xu, you underestimate us dwarves too much. It's just some soot, and we're so strong as the dwarves. It won't be in the eye at all. You know, a long time ago, we dwarves lived in caves underground. At that time, we dwarves still loved blacksmithing, and every day there was soot floating in the cave, and nothing happened. ”

Xu Yi frowned: "Patriarch Sluby, even if you dwarves are physically strong, these soots are still very harmful to your body. If there are good choices to keep you away from this pollution, why don't you do it?"

Seeing Xu Yi's stern expression, Patriarch Sluby touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Move all the clansmen away." It costs a lot of money......"

Xu Yi immediately sank his face: "Patriarch Sluby, I thought you were a good patriarch who the clansmen really loved, but I didn't expect that now just for the sake of some money left, the clansmen are in danger of being damaged." You've let me down so much!"

Patriarch Sluby was silent, but Camby, who was accompanying him, couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said, "President." You misunderstood the patriarch!"

"How did I misunderstand him?" Xu Yi was already a little depressed because of the shocking pollution here, and now he heard the answer from the Sluby Patriarch. It directly aroused a trace of anger in his heart, and he heard that Camby had to defend him. Immediately and unceremoniously retorted. "Camby, you and your brothers in the workshop live in the factory every day, unaffected by it, and certainly don't know the damage your people suffer in this environment. Do you know that if this continues, the lifespan of your dwarves will be affected?"

Camby has been working under Xu Yi for a long time, and now he has gradually developed a sense of awe for Xu Yi, and after being reprimanded by him for a few words, he didn't dare to refute it, but after thinking about it, he still tried to defend the patriarch Sluby: "President, you also have to be considerate of the patriarch." Although our tribe has finally had a better life because of you, it is still very short of money, and the patriarch is also thinking about the clansmen, and he is unwilling to use up all the money that the tribesmen use to buy food. ”

Xu Yi was stunned: "Isn't the money you earn now enough to buy food to eat?"

Patriarch Sluby smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's enough to just buy food, but I want to save some money and wait for the winter to rebuild the houses for the clansmen, so I ...... President Xu, you are right, if the health of the clansmen has deteriorated, it is useless to keep the money. I'm going to mobilize my people to move right away!"

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Patriarch Sluby, according to your estimates, how much will it cost to move all the clansmen to a place with a better environment?"

"In fact, if you just move, you don't need to spend a single copper coin. The houses we dwarves live in were built by ourselves, so it's good to spend some time. But......" Patriarch Sluby had a look of embarrassment on his face. "I want to take advantage of the fact that the clan is richer than before to build some better houses for the clansmen, so I need to buy some materials from humans, and at best, I can ask you humans to help us build houses, because your human skills in building houses are actually much better than ours, and they are also a little more beautiful. I've calculated that building a nice house for every family in the clan will cost more than 2,000 gold coins in total. ”

Xu Yi nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, Patriarch Sluby, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am here to sponsor your tribe with three thousand gold coins in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, which will be specially used to build a new house for you." ”

Patriarch Sluby and Kambi were both taken aback and waved their hands repeatedly.

"No, President Xu, our tribe can have a good life now, but it's all because of you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, we have received so much help from you, how can we still ask you to give us money again." No, I can't take this money!"

Xu Yi said categorically: "If you don't accept it, you have to accept it." But Patriarch Sluby, I thought about it for a while, I'm afraid it's not good to give you money directly, because you are dwarves, and if you go to the human builders to help you build a house, I'm afraid you will be cheated a lot of gold coins. Well, I now have a good relationship with the Amritri Chamber of Commerce in Bonta City, and I will come forward to contact the Amritri Chamber of Commerce to build you a house. As for the style and location of the house, it's up to you to decide, what do you think of this plan?"

Patriarch Sluby and Camby's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea. But President Xu, this ...... It's too much trouble for you. And it's a lot of money, isn't it? I'm afraid 2,000 gold coins won't be enough......."

Xu Yi waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about money." The thought of having the Amrley Chamber of Commerce build a new house suddenly gave me a new idea. President Sluby, do you know how many dwarven brothers there are in our Lampari Kingdom right now?"

"This ......," Patriarch Sluby thought for a moment, and replied uncertainly, "probably...... There's twenty or thirty thousand, right? I'm not sure. ”

"Well, how many dwarf brothers can you contact?" Xu Yi asked again.

"There are less than twenty tribes connected to our tribe, and the total is less than five thousand. Patriarch Sluby replied.

"Good. My new idea was to build a new house, so I would just build a little more at a time. I'm going to pick an open spot not far from here and build a large house large enough to house thousands of dwarves at once. In addition to the dwarves of your Norma tribe who have moved in, you have also invited the dwarves of other tribes to come in and live there. For example, the Monto chief of the Angolan tribe would have agreed with me. ”

Hearing Xu Yi's thoughts, not only the dwarves such as Patriarch Sluby and Camby were shocked, but even Steele looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

"Hey, Xu Yi, what do you want to do? Gather so many dwarves together, aren't you afraid of arousing the vigilance of the kingdom officials?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "This is a problem......"

Patriarch Sluby hurriedly said, "Miss Steele is right. If we dwarves gather too much, I'm afraid your human king will be misunderstood. President Xu, we have received your wish to help us build a house, so forget about the rest. ”

"No, I think it's a good idea, and His Majesty the King may not be against it and wary of it. Xu Yi thought for a while and continued: "That's it, let's follow our original plan, Patriarch Sluby, you choose a place around here, and I will go to the Amrley Chamber of Commerce to help you build a new tribe." But Patriarch Sluby, when you choose a location, you'd better choose a place where you can build more houses next to it, in case my vision can be approved by His Majesty the King, and there is room for it to be realized. ”

Seeing that Xu also insisted, Patriarch Sluby had no choice but to nod and agree.

However, out of caution, Patriarch Sluby couldn't help but remind Xu Yi.

"President Xu, although thousands of years have passed since the race war, you humans are still very wary of us foreigners. It's fine for you to hire some of our dwarven brothers for work, but trying to bring so many dwarves together like this could easily arouse the suspicion of your human king. I'm afraid this will cause problems for both you and the new flying chamber of commerce, so you'd better be careful. ”

Steele also frowned, and said worriedly: "Yes, Xu Yi." President Sluby is right when he says that while I personally have no prejudice against dwarves and other races, it is hard to keep that others have these prejudices. If someone is already hostile to you, you will be caught if you don't get along well with the dwarves. ”

"I understand your concerns. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "But I have to say that it is because they have not yet recognized the value of other races, and if one day they can understand, I am afraid that they will not need me to do anything, they will take the initiative to seek change. By that time, I'll be a prophet!"

Steele gave him a blank look: "I'm afraid that before you become a prophet, you will become a martyr." (To be continued......)
