Although the Far East is rich in various mineral deposits, it has always lacked effective mining methods, and the utilization rate is very low. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Taking coal as an example, the use of coal by orcs only stops at the stage of cooking on fire.

And due to the high forest cover in the Far East, there are many trees.

In the eyes of the orcs, firewood is far better than these black stones.

So even though the lizard tribe sits on a rich coal mine, it is still mainly fishing.

It's like the ancestor left a treasure chest, but didn't have the key to open it.

At a normal rate of development, the large-scale use of coal will be at least a few hundred years away.

"I don't know what kind of impact it will have on the feudal era. Lin Ye sighed.

By this time he had returned to Blackfire Castle.

Coal mines are inherently dispensable to the lizard tribes, and they don't know the value of coal at all.

In addition, Lin Ye offered to lease it for 40 years at a price of 2,000 silver coins instead of directly occupying the coal mine.

It also provides 400 jobs for the Lizard Tribe, and pays each Lizardman a salary of 3 silver coins per month.

This makes the lizard patriarch very happy.

You must know that 2,000 silver coins can cover the income of their lizard tribe for more than half a year.

And what is the concept of 400 jobs?

That's 2/3 of the number of lizard tribes.

3 silver coins a month, 1,200 coins a month, and 14,400 coins a year.

This directly increased the annual income of the lizard tribe by a full 4 times!

Of course, such low wages are inseparable from the low currency circulation in the Far East and the rigidity of the monetary system.

Only when a region's economy is completely active can the overall wage level and consumption level rise.

The orcs did not have the common sense of economics, which directly led to Lin Ye becoming the architect of a new economic system.

It created the possibility for him to grab a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

The Clan Lizard Patriarch thought that this little duke was here to force them to cut their flesh, and it was indeed mentally prepared for this.

Unexpectedly, he not only paid for the lease, but even provided jobs.

This is simply a living Lei Feng!

It was overjoyed and immediately signed a lease contract with Lin Ye.

For quite some time, the lizard tribe thought they had taken advantage of it.

It wasn't until a few years later that the price of coal rose to an unbelievable level.

I saw a truckload of coal pulled out of his own coal mine, and he could only count the pitiful silver coins to get by.

The old patriarch of the lizard regretted that his intestines were blue.

It even went to Lin Ye's office and scolded him, calling the Duke the biggest liar in the Far East!

But at that time, he had already established the status of "King of the Far East".

What can a mere lizard tribe's protest count?

Of course, that's all for later.

Owning the mining rights of the Panshan Coal Mine within the territory of the Lizard Tribe, and employing the orcs of the nearby Lizard Tribe, Viper Tribe, and Poison Frog Tribe as miners, this is the first step in the industrialization of forest leaves.

As for the people of the Black Fire Family, he didn't intend to let them idle.

After all, the call for work is getting louder and louder.

People who come to their new homes are eager to express themselves and don't want to eat rice.

Lin Ye allocated a portion of them to the expanded beer line.

According to his estimates, the daily consumption of beer in the Far East is about 2,500 kilograms, or 25 barrels.

Of course, this number will decrease accordingly as the climate changes.

However, with the opening of the market in Dragon Breath Valley and Warcraft Mountain, it will make up for the decline in this value.

So the consumption of 2500 kg will be a long-term value.

But in Lin Ye's eyes, the beer consumption market is not limited to the Far East.

In fact, he sent Ababa to Fish Leap Harbor to sell beer, precisely under the guise of opening up overseas markets and the inland markets of the Lionheart Empire.

The amount of consumption here is not yet known, but given the large population base, as well as the throughput of the port.

It is necessary to increase production to 10,000 kilograms per day, which is 100 barrels.

This is an almost tenfold increase in production on the basis of the existing one.

Of course, the price of beer will come down somewhat, and there will be no way to sell it at the same sky-high price as before.

One is because the amount of silver coins in the entire Heishui River region was originally limited, and now it has basically flowed into the hands of the Black Fire Family.

The second beer has just come out, and the orcs have a curious mentality, and there is indeed no product that competes with the Black Fire brand beer in the market in the Far East.

The structure of trade between orcs is similar to that of the early Blackfire Keep, which is basically primitive barter.

They have no idea about silver coins at all.

It wasn't until beer injected a boost into the Far Eastern market that they realized that silver coins were such a good thing!

In order not to let the fragile economy of the Far East collapse, and at the same time allow the orcs to form the concept of currency, Lin Ye had to lower the price of beer in the Far East market.

Wait for the salary level of the orcs to rise, and then rise appropriately.

Otherwise, the orcs would have worked hard for a month, and their salary would be enough for a few beers, and it would be strange not to make trouble.

The way that Lin Ye used to suppress the price of beer was not to unilaterally lower the price of the currency.

Instead, a food-for-beer promotion was introduced.

In the last month of summer, beer will be sold in the form of grain.

Each kilogram of beer is exchanged for the same weight of grain.

If it's a meat product, you can exchange it for double the weight of beer.

In other words, the expanded brewery can produce 10,000 kilograms of beer per day in exchange for 10,000 kilograms of the same amount of grain.

Of course, the consumption in the Far East region is not so much, and even if some orcs choose to stock up, Lin Ye will not give them this opportunity.

Beer will be served in limited quantities per capita.

Only 2,000 kg per day is supplied.

Now that the Far East has just ushered in a bumper harvest, and the orcs are piled up in silos, they are struggling to find anything to exchange for beer, and this beer promotion is obviously a great way to arouse their interest.

This is also an important means for Lin Ye to solve the problem of food consumption this month.

In addition to the brewery, a loading and unloading dock has been set up in the abandoned Black Fire Harbor to store beer and other goods that will be shipped over there.

This is the first step in the restoration of the port.

At the same time, he placed the fishermen of Xinghuo Village by the sea to develop a fishing ground.

Fishing is obviously a safer and more profitable way to catch fish than to fight the wind and waves.

The construction of the fishery was carried out in parallel with the loading and unloading warehouse of the port.

As for the other part of the people, Lin Ye arranged them near the Panshan Coal Mine.

Digging coal is certainly the work of the lizardmen and the orcs of nearby tribes, but the process of sorting and sorting the coal and transporting it to the warehouse is also a labor-intensive process.

Coal mining is a long-term project, not only because of the staggering reserves, but also because of the low efficiency of manual mining.

Sooner or later, a small town will form around.

Lin Ye is working on the improvement of tools, and is discussing with Eight Feet whether he can make some machinery.

"Basically, the construction of towns, the mining of coal mines, the expansion of the brewing industry, the experimentation of the paper industry, the construction of fishing grounds, etc., are all going on at the same time, and in about three months, the new towns will be built, and I hope that nothing will go wrong in the middle." Lin Ye prayed secretly.
