The mill standing by the river was not long after its completion, and the mud used to bind the bricks and stones was not yet completely dry due to the cold and damp weather. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe waterwheel, which soaked the river and became unusually heavy, tried to stop the raging rapids, but no matter how many flip paddles there were, they began to turn slowly and hard under the continuous impact of the river, and as time went on, it became faster and faster, almost like the windmill toys that children have been keen on lately.

The steel water wheel wheel uses the power of the rapids of the Ruiwen River to rotate the gear-like "rudder" at the front of the main shaft, and the arm-thick hardwood on the "rudder" engages with the short wooden rod that protrudes from the movable grinding disc on the grinding disc, turning the rotation perpendicular to the ground into horizontal rotation, realizing the rotation of the grinding disc.

Precious animal power can then be freed up and used where it is needed more. As for the preparation and maintenance of the various parts of the water-powered mill, the dwarves of the artisans' guild were in charge.

Due to the very low price of the mill's milled flour and the extremely fine flour produced without particles, it quickly won the reputation of the public, and most of the orders of the new pioneer were naturally handed over to them.

The lucrative artisan guild, reminded by the "lord Rez", decided to build another hydrodynamic mill, striving to take all the business and completely monopolize this new industry.

However, the water mill was designed by "Lord Rez" himself, and the drawings and basic structure were basically nothing to do with the dwarves, and the craftsmen's guild knew that this "Lord Lord" had many wonderful ideas, and insisted on converting this into original shares, accounting for fifty percent of the relevant income, which was a kind of interest bundling.

Lu Bin did not refuse, and took the opportunity to write a legal provision protecting the "patent" into the code of Riverflowing City, intending to encourage the people to share their knowledge and contribute their wisdom to the development of the territory.

The law, designed to protect the interests of inventors, opened a new door for traditional craftsmen who were passed down from father to son, and out of trust in the "legendary mage Reiz", the small family-run workshops in the pioneer territory were showing signs of disintegration.

Rams, a veteran leatherman with a unique knack for "tanning", decided to seize this rare opportunity to contribute his ancestral recipe.

In order to encourage people to respond to the "patent law", Lu Bin appointed the old leatherman Rams as the head of the leather guild and was responsible for the management of the newly established leather factory, which was directly under the town hall and had 27 members of the "large factory", and the owner of the factory, Rams, legally owned 30% of the profits according to the law.

According to the law that the cost of the factory will automatically decrease when it reaches a certain size, the Rams leather factory swept through the family-run workshops in the territory with high quality and low prices, and once extended its tentacles into the neighboring town of Blackwater, grabbing many orders.

As for the peers who closed their doors under the fierce competition, on the one hand, they envied the good fortune of the old cobbler Rams, and on the other hand, they were forced to choose to enter the leather factory because of their livelihood. Their rich experience has further improved the quality of leather, especially in the parchment paper, which has become the fist commodity of the new pioneer territory.

The people in the Rushing City, all those who have a skill, are ready to move, trying to change their future lives with their own crafts, and many of them are very speculative, trying to refer to the "treatment" of the old leatherman Rams, get rid of their status as commoners and craftsmen, and become respected "factory owners".

On the south bank of the Ruiwen River, when the snow had not yet melted and the land had not yet been allocated, the craze that had been set off in the city of Rushing soon spread through the mouths of the merchants to the neighboring territories, and quickly spread throughout the north.

It was difficult for Olek Tyrese to understand this, but Lu Bin quickly convinced him with facts: "How much can I harvest by digging in the soil? With the current average yield, the yield per mu is only about 300 catties, and if there is no fallow system, the soil fertility will continue to decline, and the yield will be further reduced." If Rushing City wants to accumulate quickly and rise strongly, it must not look backward and walk on the old road, but should open up a new path, that is, a large-scale mass production workshop, processing various agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry raw materials into commodities, and quickly occupy most of the market share. ”

"Family-style workshops seem reasonable, but ordinary people are deceived by the relative autonomy of income, and random fluctuations in supply and demand in the market can pit all the wealth they have accumulated over the years, not to mention external factors such as marriage, education, and illness, which will also crush the backbone of a family. ”

"In the foreseeable future, the factory owners will quickly accumulate wealth, become the first to get rich, and then lead others to get rich together. Due to the relative autonomy of the region, the factory owners will take the initiative to move closer to us, and if they do not do so, the scissors that can be adjusted by the commercial tax will be targeted at some people who do not know the current affairs. ”

Olek Tyrese quickly understood that the private lessons taught by the family from an early age had something to be about, but unfortunately no teacher could say it as clearly as his "friend" Rez.

The land tax paid by the tenants who rented the land of the nobles for cultivation, the poll tax that every lord had to pay from birth to death, and the miscellaneous taxes on windows, saws, and mills, all added up to an annual income far less than the commercial tax.

"Orric, my friend, this is where we differ in our positioning of Riverrun. Your view of this new frontier is to follow the traditional path, from the manor to the countryside to the small town, which will take a long time. However, I directly positioned it as a commercial city-state, using written laws to protect important links from production, processing to sales. ”

"Believe me, this path will definitely allow the new realm to rise quickly, and it will also increase your stakes in inheriting the supreme power of the family...... Don't look at me with such curiosity, you think I don't know anything?"

Orik Tyrese quickly retracted his gaze and apologized with his forehead, "Rez, my friend, I didn't think to hide it from you, but you didn't ask in person, and I didn't take the initiative to tell my origin and origin. I know it's trust, that's why I'm going to repay you by coming to you early when spring doesn't come, and although I don't understand why you can't wait, I can understand that your motives and intentions are good, and that's enough. ”

Lu Bin nodded lightly, revealing an approving gaze: "I am very satisfied that you can think like this." Here, since you have expressed your heart, I also have to take out what is in my heart. ”

Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Orrick Tyrese knew that something was wrong, but his instincts told him it was a good thing, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the teachings of "Friend Rez".

"Ever since I left the dark area and returned to the surface, I have felt a deep sense of concern. With my strength and this feeling, the opponent is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe from above. ”

Lu Bin raised his fingers and pointed to the sky above his head, and Oric Tyrese quickly understood that his friend Reze could only refer to the gods who projected their godheads onto crystal walls to form constellations.

"At first, I thought it was a dark elf who had dealt with the dark region, and behind them was a god system, the queen of the pit demon net, who was the main god, but not a god with a big heart. He is rumored to be the embodiment of death and the messenger of destruction. However, the gods of the good camp will not allow the spider goddess to mess around, let alone the elven gods are also wary of him. ”

"Later, the spark of inspiration was fleeting, and I finally figured it out! Although I came out to unite the High Elves of the Grey Forest, the Alpine Dwarves of the Stormwind Mountains, and even the Dark Races of the Dark Regions, I was greatly helped to forge a rough alliance. At the same time, it is definitely a maverick outlier for the humans who dominate the North. It's just that the elves and dwarves have strong divine support behind them, and they resist the northern realm of the Church of the Gods, but there is only one demigod...... Do you understand?"

Orik Tyrese didn't expect things to come full circle, and he actually returned to himself, he lowered his head, and couldn't help muttering: "Your series of actions have caused a backlash, the actions of the Great Council of the North, the tacit understanding of the nobles, and there is also a suspicion of crossing the line...... My father fought with the King of Dark Wizards, and there were dark gods behind him, and he was even calculated by conspiracies, and he is still secretly wounded...... The father chooses the heir and raises the second generation of Thor, and his true purpose ......"

The blonde boy raised his head suddenly, stared at his friend Rez opposite him with a gaze that he couldn't even believe, and suddenly stood up: "The real purpose is to become a god?"

Lu Bin nodded lightly, and at this time, a thunderous roar came from the depths of the sky, as if it had broken through the heavens and involved the attention of a lot of existence.

Many eyes swept around the small and simple Riverrun City Council Chamber, and only Lu Bin could understand the importance that Thor Tyrese was receiving now, "Even small people like us have been affected, it seems that your father is close to success...... In other words, the only obstacle was removed. ”

Orik Tyrese jumped to his feet in surprise, he now had an urge to go home early to see his father, probably as the Son of Man to see him one last time.

"You'd better not act rashly!Olik, my friend, you're too much to breathe. As far as I know, it's not that simple for mortals to become gods, even if your father has the strength of a demigod and has sheltered the stability and prosperity of the north for twenty years, it's a pity that his qualifications are still a little shallow. It would be more appropriate to save up for a few more decades, ease the relationship with the Church of the Gods, find a suitable ally or protector among the great gods, and then start the path to godhood. Of course, this is only a little shallow insight on my own, and your father must have taken the real situation into account. ”

Oric Tyrese's mind calmed down a little, and then he remembered the nobles' backlash: "What about our Riverrun?"

When Lu Bin heard the words of "friend", he suddenly felt a burst of relief in his heart. "Even if I reveal the roots, this blonde boy who has only known him for two months still chooses to be on the same side, perhaps because the growing prosperity of Riverrun City is closely related to his vital interests. ”

"No problem! As long as we resist the counterattack of the slave traders and promote the abolitionist movement in the north, the backlash will be minimized. After all, the elves and dwarves are too few in number to challenge the dominant position of humans in the North. In turn, humans will take the initiative to merge with the elves and dwarves whose strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, and pass through our bridge of Riverrun. ”
