The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 154 The Crown Prince's Responsibility

If that doesn't work, you can first recruit workers from the migrating elves. Although there are not many elves working in the salt fields, there are still some hardworking elves. Moreover, the salt fields no longer have the troublesome secondary melting and purification steps, so the workload will be greatly reduced.

Do it when you think of it. Feng Yu asked Illya to arrange the recruitment of workers, and the construction of Yantian and the construction of Yantian residential area were carried out simultaneously.

The original glass processing and export was also temporarily stopped. All the glass needed for windows was burned to cooperate with the housing construction work in Yantian District. As for the goblins, they would buy whatever they wanted anyway.

The parliament has no control over Feng Yu’s industrial zone, but that doesn’t mean Borri isn’t curious about the industrial zone.

The industrial zone, especially the salt fields, had been shut down and rebuilt on a large scale. In the area near the salt fields, there were elves with ropes stretched out, measuring something. Large quantities of wood and bricks were being transported here, all of which made Bori curious.

"See those workers digging trenches along the drawn lines?"

Bo Rui nodded: "I see, what is that doing?"

Dick said: "That is digging the foundation of the house. According to the standard of the residential area where you live now, a new residential area will be built here. When the salt field expansion is completed in the near future, this will become a new residential area for salt field workers and their families.

Chief Bori, do you know how long it will take to build this large residential area?"

"do not know."

Dick smiled and said, “In less than two months, before the spring ploughing begins, the new residential area will be completed, and after the temperature warms up, the reconstruction of the old salt fields will be completed.

Before the hottest days of midsummer arrive, the camp’s salt pans will more than triple in size.”

Looking at Bori who looked incredulous, Dick continued, “At first no one believed that such a spacious house could be built so quickly.

At that time, Darren was at the construction site, teaching the workers how to lay out lines, how to build walls, and gradually taught the workers the entire process of building a house.

As the workers became more skilled, everything changed.

In fact, building a house is very simple. You only need to dig a foundation that is not too deep, then mix the excavated soil into mud, and then lay rows of bricks, put up beams, and cover the roof.

A row of houses with ten courtyards can be completed in three or four days. With so many construction teams working together, a residential area can be completed in two months. That is still considered slow because the experienced workers have been transferred to Yantian to participate in the reconstruction of Yantian.

Otherwise, it only takes one month to build a residential area.

Of course, this requires stockpiling enough materials such as bricks and beams in advance."

Borri said in surprise: "Even if that's the case, it's too fast!"

"Yes, even so, it was too fast. Before the people in the camp saw the results, no one thought that rows of houses would appear in the wilderness."

Bo Rui asked, "What are they doing in the salt fields?"

"I heard that the research institute has developed a faster and easier way to dry salt. The old salt pans will be changed. In addition, new salt pans will be expanded to produce more salt."

“Isn’t the current salt production enough?”

"It's already enough, but it's not just to satisfy the appetites of our three tribes. More salt will be sold to various regions through the goblins, bringing more income to the camp."

Borri thought of the book he had read and murmured, "Economic strength is the booster of overall strength, money makes things easier, and money power is the most powerful power?!"

Dick looked at him and said, "What did you say?"

Bo Rui came to his senses and said, "Nothing. I just remembered the things in the books you told me about."

Dick smiled and said, "Brother Darren said that those things are all in the book."

Bo Rui nodded: "Indeed, they all are!"

Dick moved closer to Bori and said, "The industrial zone is recruiting again. Did you know?"

Bori shook his head. The industrial zone’s recruitment did not go through the parliament, and it was impossible for him to run around and keep an eye on it every day.

"The number of people needed at Yantian will double. We have already started recruiting people from the elves, but not many have been hired."

Bo Rui looked at the mysterious Dick, understood what was going on, and said, "You mean, you want our Iron Claw clan to work in the salt fields?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would I tell you this?
As soon as the news of the salt field expansion came out, the Giant Rock Clan sent all the laborers in the clan over. However, when the Giant Rock Clan first arrived at the camp, most of the people had already been arranged, and there were not many left.

So there is still a big gap in the salt fields. Why don't you let your people come to work? Do you want to force them to grow crops?"

Bo Rui said: "The yield of irrigated fields is so high, what's wrong with growing crops?"

Dick looked at the shrewd Iron Claws chief and said with disdain: "Then use the grain to exchange for salt, steam engines, glass windows, ceramic utensils with Darren..."

Bo Rui: "Indeed... there is a problem."

Dick rolled his eyes and said, "No one in our Copper Hammer Clan farms, and many families in the clan buy Xiangxue rice to eat, so it's really not a big problem."

Bori: “…” Being looked down upon by this old man made Bori speechless.

"Can it be done?"

“Why not? Darren is worried about this because the work in the salt fields is not very pleasant, so the elves he recruited are far from enough.

But the salary in the salt fields is high, and eating salt is free. The most important thing is that it is not too tiring, not as tiring as working in the mines and forging iron."

Borida said, "If I bring the dwarves from the Snowtop Mountains here, it can't just be the dwarves from our Ironclaw clan. At least the clans in the royal city must be taken care of."

Dick murmured, "You really are fit to be a king!"

Bo Rui heard it and smiled helplessly.

If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. Without this awareness, he would not be able to become the successor chosen by the Dwarf Kingdom.

"By the way, let those dwarf families with children come here. This will not only solve the employment problem for two people, but the children can also receive education in the camp."

"Is this... okay?"

“What’s wrong with that? The education in the camp is free and open to all three tribes.

Besides, education is really useful. Our little boy can now do the accounting in the tavern, and he can also read the Brief History of the Green Continent to me, and he speaks very well, which is much better than me who can't read a word."

“If that’s the case, we really have to thank Darren. If it weren’t for him, our children wouldn’t have the opportunity to receive free education.

I have seen that this kind of comprehensive education can only be enjoyed by the children of the Lords among humans, and it costs a lot of money. "

"How about you go have a drink with Darren?"
