The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 78 Alien Real Estate

Feng Yu continued, "Your writing is very good, and I would like you to write a batch of standard text templates. I will develop our book printing technology, and then use your text templates to print a large number of textbooks.

It is unrealistic to rely on manual copying of a large number of books.”

When the old man heard Feng Yu say that he wanted to use his calligraphy to print a large number of textbooks, he became even more interested and asked, "Large-scale printing, is it woodblock printing technology? We have craftsmen in our camp who can do woodblock printing."

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "It is more flexible than that technology. It is called movable type printing. It is to make the words into small square seals, and then put them in the mold in order and print them on the same size paper.

In this way, each small text seal can be used repeatedly, saving the trouble of making a special engraving block for each page of a book."

Anthony thought about it and said, "It's a good idea."

"So you need to write a set of standard characters as a template for seal engraving."

Anthony nodded and took the job.

Feng Yu felt that his observation was correct. The elves were always very interested in having their own unique arts recognized, and even the great sage and magician Anthony was no exception.

Fortunately, he corrected Clarence's problem. The old man was thinking about designing more powerful Clarence II and III all day long, because Feng Yu told him that they had large ships that could carry artillery combat and more powerful steam engines.

Clarence was then dazzled by words like history, honor, and Grion's first alchemist, and he only used his bronze carving skills to carve nameplates for his own warships.

The same is true for Anthony. The old man also hopes that the textbooks he wrote and printed with his own calligraphy will be studied by the children of the three tribes.

Feng Yu’s ability to deceive people isn’t that great, but he knows how to prescribe the right remedy for the situation.

The halflings were busy harvesting crops, and some veteran mages in the camp were pulled over by Anthony to draft textbooks. Ever since Feng Yu proposed to popularize "universal" education, Anthony didn't even want to think about the deep reasons behind Feng Yu's changes to the camp.

Why did Feng Yu want to divide the land? Wouldn't it be better to exploit the labor of the halflings through justice and certain rewards?

The reason why he distributed the land was because he disdained to exploit the simple half-ling farmers. Another reason was to form a village system based on farmland, so that the farmers could form small circles based on villages.

Their own farmland and the fixed "home" that Feng Yu will help them build in the near future, as well as the communication environment of the small village, will allow them to take root there over time, and the farmers' yearning for a stable life and fertile land will take root.

Allen had said that clan members could disobey his orders as long as they were willing.

Feng Yu didn't expect the half-orc farmers to listen to him, but as long as they regarded this place as their home, they could reduce the clan's influence and even orders on them. How could the farmers who took root here escape his shadow then?

He holds industrial products in his hands, including steam engines, water pumps, and salt. Which one is not the lifeblood of these halfling farmers? !

The same goes for the dwarves, who went from being voluntary blacksmiths to workers with income. When the camp's daily necessities became abundant, they had their own salaries in their hands and lived a rich life. The dwarves worked as blacksmiths at work and went to the bar after get off work. As long as the camp was not destroyed and their lives were not threatened, how could they possibly think of returning to the Snowy Mountains to suffer?

As for the elves, we can only take it slowly. Clarence has been obsessed with making large machines, intending to go down in history with this. Old man Anthony has also started to write textbooks and templates with some knowledgeable elves. The elf ceramic artists are obsessed with glaze colors and shapes, which is a good sign for Feng Yu.

The entire elf race only had a few million or eight hundred thousand, and if you nibble slowly, you can get a lot of them. The difficulty of silkworm elves is from zero to one, as long as you have the first one, the rest will be easy. Feng Yu has prepared a lot of tricks for this "one"!
Feng Yu looked at the lines of plans on the schedule in his hand and exclaimed that there was a lot of work to be done, but unfortunately he was too busy to do it.

The paddy fields will be distributed soon, and he will have to exchange things with the halflings for rice in the future. The salt fields will also be completed, and there is a huge shortage of workers. He cannot keep giving IOUs to the workers and farmers.

Feng Yu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, deciding to first come up with a batch of currency as a temporary transaction equivalent and a means of paying wages. He was planning to sell the salt he had wasted, so how could he use it as wages to pay the workers?
They have no shortage of salt to eat now, so if they take it home they can only hoard it, which will not have the same circulation function as currency.

Although Feng Yu is not an economics professional, he knows the importance of currency circulation. It is a very important indicator to measure economic strength.

How to recover the loss and get the economy flowing? He decided to enter the most deceptive industry on earth, the most Western industry in the camp, and the foundation of the workers and farmers' happy life - real estate.

Feng Yu originally planned to use stone powder to build a house, but that thing would be useful once it was fired. It would be needed for the second phase of the salt field project, and defensive bunkers were also indispensable. He couldn't joke with the safety of the camp and human lives!
Without security, how can there be happiness? Without happiness, how can workers and farmers still follow him wholeheartedly? !
Therefore, in addition to the riverside and campsites, farmlands and salt fields adjacent to the wasteland also need defensive measures.

In the wilderness with a lack of cover, a towering bunker combined with the early warning of black powder fireworks can monitor a large area, which is indispensable.

So Feng Yu changed his mind. He asked Anthony to arrange for people to cut down trees and float down the river. He didn't know why the old man hadn't made any arrangements, so he decided to do it himself this time.

He would use the logs as materials for the beams of the house, use the inexhaustible soil in the wilderness to make bricks, mix them with mud to build walls, build houses and sell them to the workers, and then take back the money that was about to be delivered to them.

Anyway, the workers can cover their monthly expenses and will not starve to death, so using the mortgage can strengthen their determination as workers.

The first batch of houses will definitely not be built in the villages next to farmland, but will be built near industrial areas and reserved for workers to buy. This will prevent the half-orc workers from hearing the news about irrigation and running back to farm. Such signs have already emerged and must be nipped in the bud.

While the migrating halflings were still there and there were still enough workers, Feng Yu asked someone to build a row of brick kilns.
