"In this way, first find out the people who have knowledge of glass, ceramics, winemaking, smelting, etc., and strip them from their original relationship, and if the demon bearer has experience, strip his family and send it to the place where it is needed" Rand made a decision while thinking, "Among the rest of the people, you first pick some people who are similar to your concept and ability, and send them to Night Qicheng, I will let Nancy and Wendy educate them first, and then send them back to you as assistants." ”

"No problem, so what do I need to do here?" Lannia asked.

"Our western border is the Iowa Pass, which is next to the territory of the orcs, I estimate that there will be a war this year, my idea is to build a fortress on the western border, it may be necessary to relocate part of the population to the past, you have to distribute the people here, part of it will be sent to Night Qicheng, part of it will stay here to maintain iron ore production, and one part will be distributed to the western border in the future."

"I see," Lanya nodded, "My lord, there will be more people in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage them, these people are not familiar with me, and I can't be as meticulous as I was in the salt mine before, I think you should train some archons from the knights as soon as possible." ”

"Cultivating archons? I thought, too, how easy it is! Rand said with a bitter face, he knew that Lanya was telling the truth, and even if every demon bearer in the iron mine respected her enough, most of them stayed under Lanya for a month at most, and then went their separate ways.

"Night Qicheng is too big, the ordinary post station is too small, you can start with iron ore and salt mines, if there are people who think it is reliable, let them go to a larger post station, such as West 7 Post Station, and then come to iron ore and salt mine management, if there is no problem, try a certain department of Night Qicheng" Laniya's words gave Lante a lot of inspiration, he stayed with the barbarian for too long, and Lante also gave up thinking on many issues, and even forgot about this common cultivation method in his hometown.

Rant's time in the iron mine is very limited, if it weren't for the big goblin to the West 10 Station, Rand even planned to go back and forth between the iron mine and Night Qicheng on the same day. Lannia took advantage of this precious opportunity to take Rand on a tour of the various facilities and buildings throughout the iron mine.

"In the few days we have been here, everyone has made a lot of comments about the various facilities in the castle, the mining area and the iron smelting area, and there are also many places on the Alozag side, which need to be modified by Elsa, and it is estimated that you will wait two days before you can send her to Petreu."

The two of them talked as they visited the iron mine, whether it was in the mine or in the cave, every demon no-demon or demon supporter would smile and greet Lanya, only Pete followed them from a distance, showing the appearance of a knight team leader.

Looking at the girl in front of him who has been working hard for the territory, but her married life is very bad, Rand suddenly felt a little unbearable, "How are you now?" Does Pete still have that face every day? ”

"Why do you care about my affairs, don't worry, Pete is very good at looking at the lord's face, and the two of us can make do with it." Lanya smiled, after all these years, she has long been used to it, a girl without demons, she can't decide her fate wherever she goes, and now she has met Rand, and she is very lucky to have a piece of the world.

"Pete!" Rand called out to Pete Maned Wolf behind him, "You stay here, you have to manage the entire territory, especially Lania, take care of her!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will never let the Archon have any problems" Pete still looked like a hippie smile, he knew in his heart that now that there were several high-ranking knights in the territory, he could still be placed in the iron mine as a guard, which was the credit of Lanya beside him.

The two soon arrived at the renovated iron ore mining area, where the mining environment was much better than before, before the three big goblins took action, opened up a number of mining tunnels, strengthened the stable structure inside the roadway, and exposed the limonite directly. On the other hand, under the command of the dwarves, some ancient mine carts and mine tunnels were repaired in the iron mine, which greatly improved the efficiency of ore transportation.

"My lord? Why are you here" The dwarf Alozag saw Rand and his party, and ran straight over, he was the apprentice of Imkawi Copper Nail, and now he was an apprentice runemaster.

"Come and see you, are there any difficulties on this side now?" Rand patted the dwarf on the shoulder and asked.

"My lord, I need dwarves and iron, I have already explored a large amount of magic black iron in the two aisles, and even some associated spars, which are expected to be mined in large quantities this year!" Alozag patted his chest and reassured. "In addition, the current mine passage is too short, if you give me 20 more half-dwarf blacksmiths, I won't be able to connect the mine tunnel directly from the iron mine to the dock this year!"

"First of all, no matter how fast you strike iron, it is not as fast as the unified casting of the new industrial area, not to mention that I have already bought a batch of retired tracks from the factory from the imperial capital, and they will be able to be sent over soon" Rand said with a smile, even with the second-hand rails, the new track production has been rolled out, and the dwarves and the two magic goblins went to the new industrial area for this purpose, "I know that in your opinion, it is much more convenient to cast iron on the spot, but the coal required for casting here is twice as much as that of the new area, you don't have enough coal, and it is useless to strike iron quickly." ”

"My lord, I think the orcs will sell us coal, or they won't be able to eat with briquettes themselves, right?" The dwarf knew that there was a shortage of fuel in the mines, but he believed that the orcs would provide coal as per previous year's contract.

"Fuel is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that it is not only iron ore that needs tracks, but also salt mines and coal mines," Rand looked at the unpowered minecarts in the mine, his eyes flashed, "and Night Qicheng also needs it, from the mountains in the west to the border in the east, it is needed!" ”

In the smelting area, the black iron and ordinary pig iron are mixed in a huge furnace according to a certain proportion, the outer wall of the furnace is covered with many runes, and there is a huge magic circle on the ground of the furnace, and the liquid metal that comes out will be cooled in the mold to become the base plate of the rune plate with excellent magic guiding ability, and these base plates will be transported to Dragon's Tooth City by ship, where it will be plated with Mithril to become a real rune plate. Most of the rune plates made will return to the Galloping Horse Plain, where they are used as essential magical tools in the daily lives of barbarians and beasts.

Of course, in addition to local smelting, there is also a large amount of black iron ore that will be directly transported to the many workshops in Dragon's Tooth City, and medium and high-level magic weapons all require a considerable proportion of magic metal, and each big family's magic workshop has a unique ore processing method.
