After returning to Lvye, it was not only Yin Leiya who was busy, but Li Yu also had a lot of things to do. The first is to give the entourage a long vacation, this time the time is very long, most of the time in the middle is in a hurry, Li Yu arranged a secretary, recorded the rest days owed, and made up for the rest after returning.

In addition, he selected sixteen men from the five major departments of the church, including Hughes, judges, craftsmen, merchants, and black dog guards who were responsible for protecting them.

Led by Fabre, who finished seventh in the first Green Open Wheat mission, he went to Bezier, Ferdinand's territory.

The latter had taken refuge on Saturday, but the rest of the Bathory family, as well as the people of the realm, were still followers of the goddess of the silver moon, Picia.

Of course, Li Yu couldn't let go of these beliefs, and this time he sent sixteen people over in order to build a branch group there.

Fabre and the others not only had to preach in the territory of the Bathory family, calling on the big guys to worship Saturday and build a land kingdom, but they also had to help Ferdinand develop agriculture and the economy, and monitor whether anyone violated the precepts.

And this is also the first time that Shuangxiu Church has taken root and developed in a real sense outside the green field. Li Yu also attached great importance to the group of sixteen, and before they left, he summoned Fabre to his residence, talked with him for a full morning, and helped him formulate a plan of action after arriving in Beze.

6,000 Golden Lions were allocated to him as the first start-up capital, and a radio station was also equipped for him to keep in touch with the Green Field and call for help in time if he encountered any difficulties.

In the afternoon, Li Yu went with Yin Leiya to see the hematite mine that Lu Weijia found. The vein was behind a small hill, and as he passed by, he found the iron cap under his feet.

The so-called iron cap refers to some metal sulfide ore bodies exposed on the surface, and under the action of weathering, most of the metal sulfides will become soluble sulfates and carbonates that are carried away by rainwater.

Leaving intolerant limonite and the like attached to the upper part of the oxide zone of the ore body, there are usually many holes. The iron cap is an important symbol of metal deposits, and many mineral deposits are found through the iron cap.

Because this part of the knowledge is relatively professional, and Lu Weijia's lingua franca is limited to daily communication, involving some more complex words, especially those that are not available on the continent of Bratis, he directly chose to speak Chinese.

Therefore, Miss Rabbit listened in a fog, but she still could not hide the excitement on her face. Snowpaw Philip helped the angry lion Alessandro win the battle of the Blood Dragon's Wail and became the Lord of the West.

Giving a part of the territory to the warriors under his command, although the green field is not small, due to the special terrain, barren land, and the threat of those lizardmen in the swamp, no one cares.

Later, it became a fief of the Arias family, but the Arias family could only barely make ends meet on this land.

There are many successive heads of the family who have worked hard, but no matter how hard they work, in addition to selling turnips, they have never been able to find other means to continue to make money.

And this further confirms the barrenness of the green field, although this territory is now developed in the hands of Yin Leiya, but it mainly relies on the special commodities of the Shuangxiu Sect.

Until the discovery of this hematite, it seems to have broken people's prejudice against this land hundreds of years ago.

Li Yu then asked Lu Weijia,

"How are you going to mine?"

"Considering our existing technical conditions, I think the combination of fire mining and wedge quarrying is the most suitable." Lu Weijia replied.

"To put it simply, it is to light a fire on the mine first, and then water it immediately, the ore will become fragile after it is cold and hot, and then insert the wedge into the crack, which will accelerate the ore fragmentation." Li Yu nodded.

The emergence of iron ore is of course a good thing, which means that steel can be trained later, and people have a large demand for steel in any era.

Weapons, farming tools, and construction are all made of steel, and even a trained militia can be very effective if they can provide them with a full set of armor and weapons.

However, these weapons and equipment are too expensive in the Brattis continent, even if you don't buy the high-quality goods of those dwarven profiteers, you can find a human or half-orc blacksmith and ask him to help build a set, you will have to pay a lot of money.

Except for those extremely wealthy families, ordinary nobles, even the guards under their command did not wear all iron armor.

But if you can make iron on the green side, especially high-quality steel, then the cost of producing weapons and armor can be reduced by a lot.

The significance of this is self-evident. However, the mining of iron ore, including the subsequent smelting, requires a lot of manpower, but fortunately, this trip to the royal capital brought back more than 20,000 people.

Li Yu planned to pay a high salary to recruit a group of miners from among them. The prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect was still discussing with the female lord the criteria for selecting people and the location of the subsequent ironworks.

Miss Rabbit wants to put the ironworks in the new city to increase her popularity, but Li Yu is worried that the pollution will be too serious.

At this moment, the female lord saw a guard of the Arias family and rode towards this side.

"What's going on, why do you look like you're in a hurry?" Miss Rabbit asked the comer.

"Lord Yin Leia, the emissary of the Figuerola family has arrived, and he said that he has a very urgent matter and wants to see you."

"Figuerola's people?" The girl was a little surprised, but she didn't think too much about it, and said to Li Yu,

"Then I'll go back to the castle first."

"Hmm." Li Yu nodded. But not long after they finished speaking, another group of people rushed to this side. This time, there were seven people, and the leader was also a guard of the Arias family, but the six people who followed were wearing the cloak of the Figuerola family.

"Sir Rea, Sir Rea!" As soon as the knight at the head saw Miss Rabbit, he shouted,

"Thank goodness you're finally back, please gather your vassals and soldiers now!"

"Why, is it the Marquis of Cullen looking for me? But wouldn't it be a little too late for me to go over now, their battle is probably over. ”

"No, Sir Yin Leia, Lord Marquis, they are missing." The knight brought unbelievable bad news.

The female lord didn't react at the first time, and after a while she said,

"Missing? Why, this is the western realm, and the Marquis still has a full army of 10,000. ”

"Six days ago they chased the fleeing wildlings into the Dragoncrest Mountains, and then Sir Morse, who was in charge of logistics, lost contact with the army in front of them." The knight said with a serious expression.
