Chapter 480: The water-powered spinning mill is completed

This fantastic restoration scene stunned the villagers of Anfield. Not to mention the children who couldn't move, even the adults forgot their work and watched from the opposite side of the long road for a long time.

The halfling escort girl who completed the task was welcomed by her companions in the Joy Hall with the highest standard. They surrounded her and asked about the whole process.

Loren naturally didn't mention her embarrassing incident, but exaggeratedly described the whole short fantasy journey. The envious and respectful eyes of her companions greatly satisfied her vanity. The boring part on the transportation road was not worth mentioning, and she was full of expectations for tomorrow's transportation work.

If it was just this one thing, it would not cause much response among the escort girls. At most, it was just a relatively unique job.

But coupled with the previous rebuke from Gowther's mother, the nature of the whole thing was completely different, and Gavin, the young man, had to be re-examined.

It was the first time for them to see escort girls hired, not for pleasure, but for other tasks, which sounded good - even if they were business travel escort girls, their essence was still pleasure.

Is this the other way that Mother Gowther mentioned?

If Mr. Gavin could really provide them with a stable job, would they choose that kind of life and give up the current one?

This question made a large number of escort girls in Mother Gowther's Fun House sleepless.

Gavin's unique style of doing things, as well as the huge resources and energy he could deploy, made him the focus wherever he went, making people there unconsciously revolve around him.

This time, the impact caused in Anfield Village was particularly great. After all, it was just a palm-sized place, and every move was under the sight of others.

This was also good. When everyone focused their attention on the surface, no one noticed what Gavin really wanted to do.

As soon as it got dark, Gavin drove all the construction workers to rest, leaving only himself in the hotel.

There was no doubt that he was waiting for the arrival of the crying witch Felancini.

But until the sun rose the next day, the weeping witch was not seen again.

I don't know whether she was unwilling to show up in front of Gavin again, or whether the communication last night consumed too much of her energy, and now she couldn't even speak.

Gavin believed that the latter possibility was more likely. Avoidance could not solve any problems. Communication would work, whether it was angry or kind.

After waiting for three nights in a row and no response, Gavin decided not to wait foolishly.

He didn't have so much time to waste here. He let the increasingly large construction teams go all out to clean up all the collapsed parts and find the door to the underground storage room.

In this kind of building, it is inevitable to have a large basement, which is not only a storage room, but also an emergency shelter and a treasure room.

The villagers guessed that the treasure of the former tavern was there.

But it often became the focus of battles. The surrounding stairs and walls were all blown down by the explosion spell, and the cleaning and repair work was particularly difficult.

After all, it is not as simple as uncovering all the bricks and stones. Instead, they need to compare them bit by bit, find the original position, and restore them as much as possible.

Gavin did not squat here to watch this complicated work, but returned to Misnoel and went to Dalaoma. The water-powered spinning workshop built by the two parties began to be put into production. He, the initiator, was invited to visit and inspect.

As soon as you enter Dalaoma, you can clearly feel that the atmosphere here is different from before the destruction of the root of the gods.

The main tone of the whole city has turned into bright red, and the red knight logo belonging to Ms. Strategy can be seen everywhere. A large temple has been broken ground. You don’t need to ask, you know that it will be a dedicated temple dedicated to the goddess of strategy. The most mentioned by citizens is Ms. Strategy.

The goddess of strategy has become the main belief of Dalaoma, and it is an open secret that Zalanda is the elect of this goddess.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that Zalanda's reputation in Dalaoma has reached an unprecedented height. After all, she is now an agent of a god to govern this place. Many followers of Lady Strategy will unconsciously turn to her.

They don't necessarily come to Dalaoma directly to seek refuge. They are also playing a role in other territories. The economic blockade of Dalaoma by the warlords and nobles of Tethyr can no longer be as airtight as at the beginning, and it has begun to loosen slowly.

The disadvantage is that the warlords and nobles have become more cautious about her. It is no longer a simple economic blockade, but they unconsciously transfer their troops to Dalaoma. When necessary, they will tear up the contract and destroy Dalaoma. As for the anger of Lady Strategy, there is more than one god in this land.

Especially Zalanda is her chosen person, which is already a disguised violation of the contract. They can't just passively take the beating without fighting back.

Gavin is now a celebrity in Dalaoma. He can go unimpeded by scanning his face and be brought directly to Zalanda.

"How's the matter with the Orion Master going?" As soon as they met, Zhalanda couldn't help but care about Gavin's advancement.

"There are some signs, and the rest is just a matter of time." Gavin said briefly, "How are your preparations for immigration going?"

Compared to the water-powered spinning mill, Gavin was more concerned about this matter because it was the key to starting the comprehensive construction of the Three Rivers.

Without this key, he was guarding a mountain of treasure with no way to dig out it.

It’s not that there are no natural immigrants in the Land of Three Rivers, but the rate is too slow and far from keeping up with Gavin’s pace.

"The preliminary statistics have been completed, and the number of conatives far exceeds our original estimate. There are already 13,000 registered people. Even if there are some who change their minds at the last minute, there will be some who join temporarily. When it really starts, the number of people should fluctuate," Zalanda said lightly.

"Thirteen thousand? So many?" Even though Gavin was mentally prepared, he was also shocked by this number.

How many people are there in Darauma? This accounts for one-tenth of the entire city.

"It's normal. Anyone who is not blind can clearly see Darauma's dilemma. The speed of city construction is far behind the speed of citizens gathering. Many people who came later have been squeezed into camping several kilometers away from the city wall. Once If a war breaks out, their safety cannot be guaranteed, especially the war to destroy the Root of Gods, which has impacted many people.

If not for the arrival of the incarnation of Lady Strategy, Darauma would have faced disaster, and those residents outside the city would bear the brunt.

This time we are facing the followers of the evil god. Can Ms. Strategy descend into the avatar? The next time we face the threat of ordinary monsters or a war within humanity, can Ms. Strategy still descend into the avatar? "

Zalanda has a very thorough understanding of the mentality of these Dalauma citizens, "There is another reason that cannot be ignored. More than half of the population of Dalauma migrated from surrounding areas in the past six months. In the process, they have They abandoned many things that could not be taken away. Although they are now called citizens of Dalauma, they have not yet found a sense of belonging in this city.

If they were allowed to migrate on their own, many of them would definitely hesitate, but as an organized and planned large-scale migration, the choice to join is not difficult to make. "

"How are the specific arrangements going?" What Zalanda said is just an external situation. These citizens must have their own calculations and considerations. Gavin is not particularly concerned about this. After all, this is a matter. It is impossible for them to intervene in major events that involve huge matters. They can only formulate general policies and general directions. The specific details and implementation issues are left to the knight officials below to assist in solving operations.

"We have almost collected the food, and the equipment you sent is being worked overtime to transform. In ten days, it will be ready for distribution." Zalanda began to count them one by one with her fingers, "Now there are still There are several major issues that need to be finalized. One is the migration route, and the other is the problem of horses, vehicles and other tools. "

"You don't need to think about the vehicle problem anymore. I have ordered people to work overtime at Misnoel. At least 500 heavy trucks can be produced before the migration. I have also started to solve the horse problem. , but it is impossible to be in position before the migration, but they can be used as a new force to assist in the last difficult journey. The specific meeting point will not be determined until we decide the route. "

Gavin directly pulled out the map of Faerûn he carried with him and said, "There is no need to wait for this matter, let's finalize it today!"

Zalanda did not come forward, but shook her head and said: "With so many people walking such a long way, there are too many variables. This matter cannot be completely settled. We can only make decisions based on the actual situation." , one journey is determined, and when necessary, the city must be attacked. Everything depends on the subjective judgment of the commander-in-chief. There is definitely no way to follow the trade routes across Tethyr and Amn. The local rulers A large team like ours will definitely not be allowed to use the road, and most of the time we can only walk on trails or wilderness."

It is completely conceivable how huge a team with tens of thousands of people would be. It has far exceeded many small and medium-sized cities. Even if they were given ten courages, the local rulers would not dare to easily borrow the passage because they would accidentally , you will lose your city.

"It makes sense." Gavin nodded involuntarily, "I made this matter simple. When the time comes, we must select a flexible general to lead this team. No, in this matter, I must I have to take action personally, because this is a great opportunity for me to establish my prestige among immigrants and build closer relations between the two parties.”

This will be his own human team. No matter how busy he is, he cannot completely leave it to others to command. He can only select a few smart and capable lieutenants to assist him, so that he can have free time to deal with other matters. Can.

"That's right." Zalanda nodded and said, "The immigration coach can only be a fool. Even I can't do it for you."

"I'm trying to get the job transfer done before the immigration plan starts." Gavin carefully calculated the time. He originally had plenty of time, but because the stall he set up in Anfeier Village was a bit big, he was a little nervous. , there are some things that can be properly speeded up.

"We will discuss the details after the plan is launched." Zalanda said with a smile, "Let's look at the fruits of our labor during this period."

As they spoke, they had reached the purpose of their trip.

A miniature girl wearing a snow-white princess dress, flapping beautiful butterfly wings, came up to her excitedly and said, "Mr. Gavin, we succeeded. We built the hydraulic spinning mill, and the production efficiency is higher than we originally estimated." "

"I know, this period of time is very hard. Sister Zalanda has told me everything about you. This factory can be put into production so quickly. You deserve the most credit. Wait a minute, put down all the work in your hands. Come with me to Misnoel, take a good vacation and recuperate." Gavin did not hesitate to praise him.

Because he now has a deep understanding of the nature of fairies, it is so rare for the Pixie Elf Nico to be able to calm down and work non-stop for more than a month in one place.

The extraordinary level she now possesses is not entirely due to the way of war, but also to the accumulation of her accumulated experience in applying a series of designs.

"No." Nicole shook her head repeatedly, her tiny face full of seriousness, "This place has just been put into operation, and many equipments are not running very smoothly, and I know them best. I want to take a vacation, but I have to wait until those apprentices. After being able to take on big responsibilities..."

Before the Pik Elf girl could finish speaking, a human girl rushed out in a hurry, "Teacher Nicole, Teacher Nicole, there is a machine that is not moving. Go and have a look."

"Look, I haven't been gone for three minutes." Nicole pouted, as if she wanted to show a helpless expression.

However, there was an unconcealable sense of pride and satisfaction in her little eyebrows. The feeling of being needed and irreplaceable was not ordinary. It was obvious that the Pixie girl enjoyed this feeling very much.

"You don't need to worry about me, business is important. I'm mainly here to understand the production. I won't be able to stay long before I have to leave." Gavin said to Nicole with a smile.

"Then I won't take you on a tour." After saying this, the Pik Elf girl couldn't wait to take the human girl to the factory. As she walked, she asked the reason, and she also criticized and educated her from time to time.

The human girl, who was seven or eight times smaller than her, was respectful and looked like she was being taught.

Nicole explained with practical actions what it means to be 16 centimeters tall and 18 meters aura.

Zalanda explained on the side: "Miss Nicole's role here cannot be replaced in a short period of time. She is not only responsible for maintaining the equipment, but also further improving and debugging it. It is said that she is studying a worsted spinning machine. By then, the output Not only is it taller, the yarn produced is not only thinner, but also stronger.”

"This is the only help I can provide. It depends on her to what extent she can help her." Gavin spread his hands helplessly.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art industry, but I am really not good at this area.

Providing some relatively simple ideas and future directions is the limit of what he can do. The rest is left to professionals like Nicole who are capable and thoughtful in this area.

Zalanda nodded in deep agreement and said, "Me too, the only thing I can do now is to provide her with what she needs."

As soon as I stepped into the huge factory building, the rhythmic sound of mechanical impact echoed in my ears. The clicking sound was very rhythmic.

The entire factory is in the shape of a long and narrow strip, because it must rely on water canals as the driving force. A dozen huge wood-iron mixing machines are lined up side by side. Countless workers are surrounding it, busy and busy. Countless fluffy cotton will soon be produced. It turned into strips of white cotton threads and was rolled into sticks of cotton yarn.

If placed on earth, this scale would be at best a small and medium-sized enterprise slightly larger than a private workshop.

But in Faerun, there are definitely few large-scale factories. They have been found across the entire continent, and the number is not too large. Even if there are, 80% of them are magic factories, not factories run by ordinary people.

Before Gavin could speak, Zalanda took the initiative to explain: "This factory is definitely a masterpiece of the times and will have a fatal impact on the entire textile industry. This factory has only 18 machines and more than 100 people. , the cotton yarn produced is enough to support the original work of 20,000 people, working day and night.

Because it not only realizes mechanized textiles, but also replaces most of the manpower with water-driven machinery for cleaning debris, removing seeds, and elasticizing cotton. It is completely achieved, cotton enters the factory, and cotton yarn leaves the factory. "

"Now that the cost has come down, you can appropriately increase the purchase price of cotton. As long as the price goes up, the economic blockade of the warlords and nobles will be broken." Even in the modern era of information technology, if you want to implement an economic blockade, you can't. It's not an easy task, let alone Faerun, who has trouble transmitting information.

As long as the temptation of profit is large enough, there is nothing that businessmen dare not do or cannot do.

"This is already being done. The market price of cotton we are now offering is double that of other regions. This morning, I just sent away a wave of envoys from the Saradas family. They accused us of disrupting the entire cotton market. "Zaranda sneered, "What is a normal market for cotton? Must it be done according to the price they set? I want to see if all the profits are squeezed out of the hands of those farmers. What kind of outrageous things can this move do?"

Now Zalanda's mentality is a little different from before Gavin returned.

At that time, even with the support of the goddess of strategy behind her, she was still walking on thin ice, and it was difficult for her to be completely tough in her attitude towards the warlords and nobles.

After all, gods are not omnipotent, especially when it comes to the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, the assistance they can provide is quite limited.

But now it's different. What Gavin brought not only made up for her shortcomings, but also developed into her strengths, her new weapons.

Aren't you going to fight an economic war? Then first try the impact of the new textile technology.
