"Bang!" the bruised fist slammed into the table, smashing a fist mark on the table.

"This fool Thor is really too deceitful!" In one of the bedrooms in Earl Carden's castle, Carden's face was blue, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.

In his hand was a letter written to him by the Count of Rollin.

And in front of him, there was an unconscious white fat man, covered in bruises, who was none other than his butler Ned, who was in charge of iron ore affairs.

Behind Ned were several shivering guards draped in blankets. The guards also had blue noses and swollen faces, and their heads were full of egg-sized bags, which had been picked out by wooden sticks.

The guards were stripped from the mine by the Rollin family, and they were beaten out of the way, leaving no shoes behind, and they returned to the Carden family territory on foot. And because he was afraid of Carden's wrath, he didn't come to report it until now.

"Lord Earl need not be angry, who would have thought that Holland would be so stupid and calculated by a fool. An old man with a wrinkled face next to him said slowly, "The coming day is long, we lost this iron ore today, and we will find it back in the future, he is a teenager and acts recklessly, can he still fight you?"

Carden nodded and said, "What Grand Butler Victor said is that I was too anxious. "This Victor is the official butler of the Carden family, who has served the Carden family for three generations, and even the current Earl of Carden respects him very much.

Although Carden's heart was on fire at this time, he knew that he could only swallow this dumb loss. After all, the iron ore originally belonged to Luo Lin's family, and he only secretly reached an agreement with Holland. It's just that I didn't expect that now that Holland was directly eliminated, the fool Sol, who didn't care about anyone, was on the throne, and he was reckless, so he naturally couldn't maintain this iron mine.

Moreover, if the news of his support for the steward of an earl's family to seize the master's family was spread, it would definitely be a great damage to his reputation. You must know that the most taboo thing for any nobleman is this kind of conspiracy to seize the family business, if he is really caught, Carden will simply become a public enemy.

No, it's not reckless, that bastard is simply a scoundrel! Even if the iron mine was originally your family's, you just beat people up and drove them away, why did you let people take off their clothes? This is completely a naked humiliation of his Carden! And what kind of "robber" in that letter, he is simply scolding him to his face!

Thinking of this, Carden's heart was filled with an evil fire. When you have the opportunity in the future, you must make that Thor understand the cost of doing things recklessly!

"Throw this waste out of here!" Carden said as he looked at the sleek white and chubby Ned in front of him and waved his hand in disgust.

"Lord Earl, you have to call the shots for us!" At this moment, a miserable wail suddenly came from outside the door, and then I saw two white fat middle-aged men with blue noses and swollen faces, and their whole bodies rushed in, and knelt down in front of Carden with a "poof".

Both of their faces were swollen and so high that they could barely tell what they were. Carden frowned, and was about to reprimand, when he suddenly remembered who these two people were.

These two people are the two stewards in charge of the trade routes in the Carden Territory!

"What the hell is going on here!?How did you get this way!?" asked Carden, taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart.

"The Earl's people, just now, that Sol, the fool of the Rollin family, suddenly rushed to our tax stations in the Rollin family with hundreds of people, arrested all of us and beat us all up, and after the beating, stripped us all of us, and then rushed back!" One of the stewards said cryingly, "The Earl is going to be the master for us! My money, my things, all have been robbed by them! They are a group of robbers!"

"Robber, that Count of Rollin is a scoundrel!" cried another steward beside him, "Lord Count is going to call the shots for us!"

"Bastard!" Carden couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, and roared, smashing the table next to him to pieces with a punch!

......

"Ahh......h Temporarily collect the products in the Rollin territory and transport them to other territories for sale. You are also responsible for this part. ”

Each nobleman's territory had its own trade routes, and at the same time, it was able to set up tax stations to collect taxes from merchants who came and went. However, the premise was that the nobleman had his own trading house in his name, otherwise the right to levy taxes would be revoked by law. This is also a kind of protection for business.

After all, if these nobles themselves were in business, they would not have raised their business taxes too high.

The Rolling's trading house had closed down due to poor management, and Askak Rollin had been bedridden, coupled with Holland's acquiescence, the Rollin's trade routes and tax stations were also quietly encroached upon by Carden.

Now that Li Yunfei has reopened the firm, he will naturally be able to get this piece back justifiably.

Of course, there is nothing to do in the Rollin Territory now, nothing more than a little iron ore and fruit crops, and it will take time to develop into a real big trading house.

But now Li Yunfei can only grasp a little bit, and it is good to have one more gold coin. And this comptoir will be of great use in his future plans......

After recovering the trade routes and tax stations, there were no other ways to make money for the time being, Li Yunfei settled down, and understood that making money could not be rushed for a while, and he had to put a long line to catch big fish.

After a while, he resumed his usual routine again.

Every day, after getting up, washing up, eating breakfast, and starting to read. He took all the books on the bookcase in Rollin's house, whatever they were.

After reading the book for a while, I began to practice the Wind Fighting Spirit and Wind Sword Technique with perseverance.

Although the Tempest Fighting Spirit still hasn't made the slightest progress, his Tempest Sword Technique has been able to learn a lot more moves. After mobilizing the power of the giants, his combat power has reached the level of a fifth-order quicksand swordsman, so this wind sword technique is also not weak.

However, what made Li Yunfei helpless was that he had already granted Martin the first layer of the Tempest Fighting Qi and the Tempest Sword Technique, and it only took Martin a week to have a sense of qi, and he successfully cultivated the Dou Qi, reaching the level of a swordsman!

Looking at Martin's ecstatic appearance, while Li Yunfei praised his face, he was helpless in his heart about his clogged body.

Fortunately, this is his loyal subordinate, and the stronger Martin's combat power, the better it will be for Li Yunfei. Thinking of this, he was not so depressed.

At night, Li Yunfei also secretly went out of the city several times, and after transforming into a rock giant, he wandered in the wilderness and hunted other giants.

It was only one night that he encountered the siege of two high-level rock giants and almost died on the spot, and after escaping with great effort, he temporarily dispelled the idea of continuing to hunt and kill the rock giants to advance.

After all, the smell of his body was so appealing to giants that it was like a lump of flesh thrown into the sea, which could easily attract other giants. Moreover, the IQ of the rock giant seems to be much higher than that of the sand giant, and when it comes to real fighting, he does not have an advantage now.

Everything, let's wait for his equipment to be built......

Fortunately, Kao didn't let him wait too long, and ten days later, Kao came to Li Yunfei's study in a hurry and told Li Yunfei a good news.

Blast furnace, caused!

Looking at Kao's bloodshot eyes, Li Yunfei couldn't help but be excited and relieved.

Kao attaches great importance to the first job given to him by Li Yunfei, and he has not closed his eyes for a few days, coupled with a large number of gold coins smashed into it, and finally has a gratifying result!

Then Li Yunfei did not hesitate and immediately gave a brand new drawing to Kao. This drawing is extremely simple, but it looks like an iron bar.

It looks very ordinary, but the size of this iron bar is a little different, it is eight meters long, one meter wide, and nearly half a meter thick!

In other words, it had to be molded in one go to produce a huge iron bar eight meters long! The amount of iron ore needed alone was a staggering amount.

To Li Yunfei's relief, Kao did not regard this as too difficult work, but just frowned, saying that with the current blast furnace, he would be able to give Li Yunfei a satisfactory answer in three days.

Three days later, in the huge warehouse of a remote farm in Luo Lin's territory, Li Yunfei looked at the large iron bar in front of him that was eight meters long, one meter wide, and half a meter behind, and showed a satisfied smile.

The bar, though a little rough, was a piece of pig iron! and much purer than the iron from the furnaces of most blacksmiths in the world.

Of course, the hardness of pig iron is relatively low, and it is simply unrealistic to really take this iron bar to fight.

This thing needs further processing. With the current conditions, it is impossible to directly refine steel, so Li Yunfei has no choice but to use stupid methods for the time being.

That is, using the method of 100 steel, repeatedly beating and quenching, quenching the carbon and other impurities inside, and getting a 100 steel knife!

Such a large piece of pig iron, if those ordinary blacksmiths are allowed to hammer it little by little, it is estimated that it may not be able to be knocked out in a year.

But Li Yunfei is different! This thing is completely tailor-made for himself, so he can also complete the last step of the steelmaking process!

The first thing Li Yunfei did was to directly order everyone, including Kao, to leave here. Two hundred guards were brought in to make the farm a restricted area within a two-kilometer radius, and no one was allowed to enter.

Externally, he declared that he wanted to cultivate the secret fighting spirit of the Luo Lin family here, and anyone who dared to peek would be directly executed.

Then, Li Yunfei directly transformed into a rock giant in this huge warehouse, sat on the ground with his head on the roof, grabbed the big iron bar with one hand, and held a piece of iron ore with a diameter of three or four meters as a hammer in the other, and started the production of his hundred refined steel war knives on the fire next to him!

"Bah!Bah!Bah!......" A thunderous roar rang out from the warehouse all the time, and the rock giant blacksmith Lao Li's eyes lit up while smashing, as if he saw a mighty war knife in his hand!
