Chapter 477: The water-powered spinning mill is built
This kind of fantastical restoration scene made those Anfil villagers stunned, not to mention that those children couldn't move, and even those adults forgot about their work and watched on the other side of the long road for a long time.
The halfling escort girl who completed the task was greeted by her companions in the Hall of Joy with the highest specifications, and she chattered about the whole thing.
Loren naturally did not mention her own embarrassment, but exaggerated the description of the whole short fantasy journey, the envious and reverent gaze of her companions, greatly satisfied her vanity, the little boring on the transportation road, suddenly not worth mentioning, full of anticipation for tomorrow's transportation work.
If it is a simple thing, it will not cause much repercussions among escort girls, at most it is a relatively unique job.
But coupled with Gose's mother's previous angry rebuke, the nature of the whole thing is completely different, and Gavin has to be re-examined as a young man.
It's the first time they've seen a hired escort girl, not for fun, but for another task, which sounds good - even if it's a business escort girl, the essence is to have fun.
Is this the other way Gosser's mother said?
If Mr. Gavin could really provide them with a stable job, would they choose that life and give up their current one?
This question has made a large number of escort girls in the Joy Hall of Gosse's mother lose sleep.
Gavin's unusual style of acting, as well as the sheer amount of resources and energy he can deploy, make him the center of attention wherever he goes, and the people there will unknowingly revolve around him.
This time the impact in Anfil Village was particularly great, after all, it was just a palm-sized place, and every move was under the sight of others.
That way, when everyone focused on the surface, no one noticed what Gavin was really trying to do.
As soon as it got dark, Gavin drove all the construction crews to rest, leaving him alone in the hotel.
There was no doubt that he was waiting for the weeping witch Philancini to arrive.
But until the sun rose the next day, the weeping witch was not seen again.
I don't know if she doesn't want to show up in front of Gavin again, or if last night's communication consumed her too much strength, and now she can't even speak out.
Gavin believed that the latter was more likely, that dodging would not solve anything, and that communication would do, whether it was angry or kind.
After waiting for three nights in a row and no response, Gavin decided not to wait stupidly.
He didn't have that much time to spend here, so he asked the more and more construction teams to go all out to clear all the collapsed parts and find the door to the underground storage room.
In such a building, it is inevitable to have a large basement, which is both a storage room, an emergency shelter, and a treasure room.
The treasure of the former tavern, as guessed by the villagers, is there.
It's just that it often becomes the focus of battle, and the surrounding stairs and walls are all blown down by the burst spell, and it is especially difficult to clean up and repair it.
After all, they didn't just tear up all the masonry, but they needed to compare little by little, find the original location, and restore it as much as possible.
Gavin did not squat here to watch this complicated work, but returned to Misnoel, and went to Dalauma, where the two parties had built a water-powered spinning workshop began to put into production, and he, the initiator, was invited to visit and inspect it.
As soon as you enter Darauma, you can clearly feel that the atmosphere here is different from before the fall of the Root of the Gods.
The main tone of the whole city turned red, and then the red knight emblem belonging to the Lady of Strategy was everywhere, and a large temple had broken ground, and it was not necessary to ask that it would be an exclusive temple dedicated to the goddess of strategy, and the citizens opened their mouths and closed their mouths, and the most mentioned was the Lady of Strategy.
The goddess of strategy has become the main cult of Dalauma, and it is an open secret that Zalanda is the chosen person of the goddess.
There are pros and cons to this matter.
Fortunately, Zalanda's popularity in Dalauma has never been greater, after all, she is now ruling the land on behalf of a deity, and many of the followers of the Lady of Strategy will not feel that they will fall against her.
It wasn't necessarily a direct refuge in Dalauma, in other territories, they were also playing a role, and the economic blockade of Dalauma by the Tassel warlords and nobles was no longer as airtight as it was at the beginning, and began to loosen slowly.
The downside is that those warlords and nobles have become more wary of her, and they are no longer simply economic blockades, but unconsciously transfer their forces in the direction of Daraum, and if necessary, they will not hesitate to tear up the contract and destroy Darauma - as for the wrath of the strategist lady, there is more than one god in this land.
Especially the fact that Zalanda is her voter is already breaking the contract in disguise, and they can't just be beaten passively and not fight back.
Gavin is now in Dalauma, and he is also considered a celebrity, and he can be unimpeded by brushing his face, and he is directly brought to Zalanda.
"How's going on with the Spiritist?" As soon as they met, Zalanda couldn't help but care about Gavin's advancement.
"There's already an eyebrow, and the rest is the water grinding." Gavin said, "How are you preparing for immigration work?" ”
Gavin was more concerned about this than the water-powered spinning mill, as it was the key to starting the full-scale construction of the Land of the Three Rivers.
Without this key, he guarded a treasure mountain empty, and there was no way to dig it.
It's not that there aren't natural immigrants in the Land of Three Rivers, it's just that it's too slow to keep up with Gavin.
"The preliminary statistical work has been completed, and the number of intentions far exceeds our original estimate, just the number of registered ones, there are already 13,000, even if there are temporary changes, but there will be temporary joining, and the number of people should fluctuate when it is really launched." Zalanda said lightly.
"Thirteen thousand? So much? Rao is Gavin was mentally prepared, and he was also taken aback by this number.
How many people are there in Dalauma? That's a tenth of the city.
"It's normal, Dalauma's predicament, as long as you are not blind, you can clearly see that the speed of urban construction is far from catching up with the speed of citizens gathering, and many later people have been squeezed to camp several kilometers away from the city wall, once a war breaks out, their safety cannot be guaranteed, especially the destruction of the root of the gods, which has caused an impact on many people.
Had it not been for the arrival of the Lady of Strategy, Dalauma would have faced ruin, and those who were outside the city would have borne the brunt.
This time it is facing the cult of evil gods, and the incarnation of the Lady of Strategy can descend to the incarnation, and the next time she faces the threat of ordinary monsters, or the internal war of the human race, can the Lady of Strategy still descend the incarnation? ”
Zalanda sees the mentality of these Darauma citizens very well, "There is another reason that cannot be ignored, more than half of Dalauma's population has migrated from the surrounding area in the past six months, and in the process, they have given up a lot of things that they cannot take with them, although they are now also called Darauma citizens, but they have not yet found a sense of belonging in the city."
Many of them would have hesitated to move on their own, but it would not be difficult to make the choice of joining as an organized, arranged mass migration. ”
"How's the matter going?" What Zalanda said is just the external situation, these citizens must have their own calculations and considerations, Gavin is not particularly concerned about this, after all, this is a big event that involves a lot, they can't ask one by one, they can only formulate big policies, general directions, specific details, implementation problems, and leave it to those knight officials below to help solve the operation.
"The food has almost been mobilized, and the equipment you sent is working overtime to renovate, and in another ten days, it can be distributed and loaded." Zalanda curled her fingers and began to count them one by one, "There are still a few big issues to be finalized, one is the problem of migration routes, and the other is that there are still a lot of gaps in horses, vehicles and other tools. ”
"The problem of vehicles, you don't need to think about it anymore, I have ordered people to work overtime to catch up with the system, before the migration, at least five hundred heavy trucks can be made, and the horse problem, I have also begun to solve it, but it is unlikely that they will be in place before the migration, but they can be used as a new force to assist in the last difficult journey, the specific meeting point, until we set the route."
Gavin directly dragged out the large map of Faeron that he was carrying with him and said, "There is no need to wait for this matter, let's finalize it today!" ”
Zalanda didn't come up, but shook his head and said: "There are so many people, and they have walked such a long way, there are too many variables in it, this matter cannot be completely settled, it can only be determined according to the actual situation, and if necessary, it will be necessary to attack the city, everything depends on the subjective consciousness judgment of the commander of the army, such as the trade routes that cross Tesser, Am, there is definitely no way to go, and the local rulers will definitely not allow us such a large team to take the road, most of the time we can only take the trail or the wilderness." ”
It is completely conceivable that a team of tens of thousands of people with tens of thousands of families is so huge that it has far exceeded many small and medium-sized cities, even if they are given ten guts, those local rulers do not dare to borrow it easily, because if they are not careful, they will borrow their own cities.
"Makes sense." Gavin nodded involuntarily and said, "It's me who has thought about this matter simply, when the time comes, we must select a flexible general to command this team, no, I must personally go out in this matter, because this is a great opportunity for me to establish prestige among immigrants and bring the relationship between the two sides closer." ”
This will be his own human team, even if he is busy, he can't completely hand it over to other commanders, but just select a few shrewd and capable lieutenants to assist him, so that he can have leisure to deal with other affairs.
"That's right." Zalanda nodded, "The immigration boss can only be yours, even if it's me, I can't do it for you." ”
"I'm trying to get the job change done before the immigration program starts." Gavin carefully calculated the time, he had plenty of time, because the stall spread in Anfil Village was a bit big, but he was a little nervous, and there were some things that could be appropriately speeded up.
"I'll talk about the details until the program starts." Zalanda smiled, "Look at the fruits of our labor over this period of time. ”
As they spoke, they had reached the purpose of their trip.
A miniature beautiful girl wearing a snow-white princess dress with beautiful butterfly wings fanned her and greeted her excitedly: "Mr. Gavin, we have succeeded, we have built a water-powered spinning mill, and the production efficiency is thirty percent higher than we originally estimated, and after normal operation, it can be increased by another three percent." ”
"I know, this time is very hard, your affairs, Sister Zalanda told me, this factory can be put into production so quickly, you are a great contributor, wait a minute, you will put all the work in your hands, follow me to the Lost Snow, take a good vacation, recuperate." Gavin didn't shy away from his praise.
Because he now deeply understands the nature of essences, it is so rare that Pico Essence Girl Ni may be in one place, calm down, and be busy for more than a month.
The level of transcendence she now has is not entirely due to the way of war, but also to the accumulation of her series of designs that have been put into practice.
"Nope." Nicole shook her head again and again, her miniature face was full of seriousness, "This place has just been put into operation, and many of the equipment is not running too smoothly, and I know them best, I want to take a vacation, I have to wait until those apprentices can take on a big responsibility......"
Before the Pikespirit girl could finish speaking, a human girl rushed out in a hurry, "Teacher Nicole, Teacher Nicole, there is a machine that doesn't move, you go and take a look." ”
"You see, I haven't been gone for three minutes." Nicole pursed her lips, as if she wanted to show a helpless expression.
But between the little eyebrows, there is a pride and satisfaction that can't be concealed, being needed, and irreplaceable feeling, not ordinarily good, it is obvious that the Pike spirit girl enjoys this feeling very much.
"You don't have to worry about me, it's important to get down to business, I'm mainly here to find out about the output, and I have to leave after a long stay." Gavin said to Nicole with a smile.
"Then I won't show you around." After the Pike spirit girl dropped a sentence, she couldn't wait to take the human girl to the factory, asking the reason as she went, and criticizing and educating from time to time.
The human girl, who was seven or eight times younger than herself, was respectful and looked like she had been taught.
Ni can interpret with practical actions, what is called sixteen centimeters tall and eighteen meters aura.
Zalanda explained: "Miss Nicole's role here is really irreplaceable in a short period of time, she is not only responsible for repairing the equipment, but also further improving and debugging, and it is said that she is working on a worsted spinning machine, which will not only produce more production, but also produce finer and stronger yarns." ”
"That's all I can help, and it's up to her to what extent." Gavin helplessly spread his hands.
As the so-called art industry has a specialization, I am really not good at this area.
Providing some relatively simple ideas and future directions is already the limit of what he can do, and leaving the rest to professionals like Nicole who have the ability and ideas in this area.
Zalanda nodded approvingly, "Me too, the only thing I can do now is what she needs and what I provide." ”
As soon as I stepped into the huge factory, all I heard was the rhythmic sound of mechanical impact, which was very rhythmic.
The whole factory is in the shape of a long and narrow strip, because it must rely on the canal as the driving force, more than a dozen huge wood-iron mixing machines, side by side, countless workers are surrounding it, nervously busy, countless fluffy cotton, soon turned into white cotton threads out, was rolled into a stick of cotton yarn.
On Earth, this size is, at best, a small and medium-sized enterprise that is a little larger than a private workshop.
But in Faerun, it is definitely a rare large-scale factory, several times the entire continent, the number is not too much, even if there is, eighty percent of it is a magic factory, not a factory run by ordinary people.
Without waiting for Gavin to speak, Zalanda took the initiative to explain: "This factory, absolutely a masterpiece across the era, will have a fatal impact on the entire textile industry, this factory with only eighteen machines and more than 100 people, produces enough cotton yarn to withstand the original 20,000 people, working day and night."
Because it not only realizes mechanized textile, but also replaces most of the manpower with water conservancy-driven machinery, and the cotton yarn leaves the factory with debris cleaning, deseeding, and cotton cotton. ”
"Now that the cost has come down, you can appropriately raise the purchase price of cotton, as long as the price comes up, the economic blockade of those warlords and nobles will be self-defeating." Even in the modern age of information, it is not easy to engage in economic blockade, let alone Fei Lun, whose means of information transmission are more troublesome.
As long as the temptation of profit is strong enough, there is nothing that businessmen dare not do and cannot do.
"This is already being done, we are now offering double the market price of cotton in other regions, and this morning, I just sent away a wave of emissaries from the Saladas family, who condemned us for disrupting the entire cotton market." Zalanda sneered, "What is a normal market for cotton?" Do you have to do it at the price they set? All the profits must be squeezed out of the hands of the farmers? I'd like to see what they can do other than condemn this trick. ”
Now Zalanda's mentality is a little different from when Gavin returned.
At that time, even if she had the support of the goddess of strategy behind her, she was trembling, walking on thin ice, and it was difficult to be completely tough on her attitude towards those warlords and nobles.
After all, the gods are not omnipotent, especially when it comes to the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, and the assistance they can provide is quite limited.
But now it's different, Gavin brings something that not only makes up for her shortcomings, but even develops into her strengths, her brand new weapons.
Aren't you going to fight an economic war? Let's get a taste of the impact of new textile technology.
