The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 55 Trading with the Dwarves

In order to dispel Illya's doubts and to avoid being regarded as a weird uncle, Feng Yu also selected a little star night elf boy named Jason Qingfeng who had answered three logical reasoning questions correctly to be Feng Yu's assistant together with Illya.

Originally, Feng Yu wanted to take the three of them as his apprentices, but Nicole told Feng Yu that on the continent of Green, whether it was an elf or another race, taking a disciple was a very solemn and cautious matter, with great significance, and required the consent of the parents and a ceremony similar to apprenticeship.

Since the requirement of accepting disciples was too high, Feng Yu arranged for Theodore to be the teaching assistant, and Illya and Johnson to be Feng Yu's assistants. He originally wanted to call them administrative assistants, but in order to avoid trouble, he just called them assistants.

However, this did not prevent Feng Yu from teaching them. After all, he lacked assistants who could understand what he meant and had advanced modern ideas.

Feng Yu, who was freed for a certain period of time, started a basic physics class. He didn't dare to think about chemistry. There were even magic elements in this world. Who knew what changes had taken place in the elements?

But physics is different. Sound, light, mechanics, etc. should be similar. Besides, he has no intention of doing anything too advanced. His ambition is to study electricity. As long as he can prove that electricity can be used in this world, it is enough. Feng Yu doesn't care about other things.

He believed that as long as science emerged, relying on these thousand-year-old students to lead other students, they would definitely give him a big surprise.

Starting from the second day of the exam, Feng Yu had two and a half little followers following him. Half of them was Theodore, who still had to continue teaching mathematics to other students, and the other two were Feng Yu's little assistants.

Feng Yu also had a group of little followers, who were students who were eliminated by the increasingly difficult mathematics. These elf children did not have much talent for mathematics, but after spending such a long time with Feng Yu, even if they could not do it as well as Feng Yu did, they could understand and execute what Feng Yu asked them to do.

Feng Yu, who had some free time, was not busy firing his big crystal. Instead, he took his assistant and students to count the workers in the porcelain kiln, papermaking workshop and salt field, and designated corresponding recorders to be responsible for recording the workers' working hours. They could not come and go as they pleased every day like a wolf.

Feng Yu dictated some simple work terms and salary payment rules and asked his assistant to write them down and copy them to the corresponding construction sites to impose preliminary constraints on the workers.

Not only that, Feng Yu also explained in detail to the two assistants the purpose and philosophy of doing so, in order to make them understand the importance of management.

The two little guys nodded as they listened, and Feng Yu was very pleased.

Feng Yu finally managed to burn out highly light-transmitting glass using a type of mineral sand that looked like fine crystal and was provided by Dick.

The dwarves believed that this mineral sand was crystal fragments that had failed to solidify. They used this fine mineral sand to inlay various patterns on the surface of the stone powder wall tiles that had not yet dried. After the stone powder dried, this mineral sand would be firmly attached to the surface of the stone powder bricks.

This kind of mineral brick building inlaid with mineral sand will reflect dazzling brilliance under the sunlight, which is very beautiful.

Feng Yu consulted Clarence, who was an alchemist, and Dick, who was familiar with minerals, and described the properties of quartz sand to them. Finally, he heard good news from Dick.

The ten large porcelain kilns had been in operation for some time, and almost all the families in the camp were using a full set of porcelain. Originally, this batch was to be used as a reward to the elves and halflings who migrated here for the winter, but Feng Yu shamelessly wrote an IOU and hoarded it.

Feng Yu handed the batch of porcelain and some salt to Dick, and asked him to arrange for someone to send them back to the Dwarf Kingdom in exchange for the Wrath of the Earth and the Black Demon, as well as this quartz-like mineral sand that the dwarves called crystal sand.

He asked Dick, and among the things he needed, except for the Earth's Wrath which was relatively valuable because of the difficulty in making and preserving, the Black Demon and Crystal Sand were not expensive things.

It just so happened that Feng Yu did not need too much Earth's Wrath, so he told Dick that this batch of porcelain and salt could be exchanged for Earth's Wrath, Black Demon and Crystal Sand in a ratio of 2:5:3.

In addition, Feng Yu also proposed to buy a large number of copper and iron ingots from the Dwarf Kingdom, and he could pay with salt. This was the message that Feng Yu asked Dick to pass on to the various dwarf tribes. As long as they brought copper and iron to Feng Yu, Feng Yu would pay for the salt.

Now the canal from the salt pan to the seaside has been basically completed. We just need to harden the canal with stone powder, dig through the part reserved for the estuary, and lead seawater to the bottom of the salt pan.

The salt fields are the basis for Feng Yu's words and are also what the dwarves want most. Relatively speaking, the porcelain that adds icing on the cake is not very important. Because Feng Yu analyzed from Dick's words that the king and the patriarch of the dwarf kingdom, except for their love of fine wine, do not seem to be extravagant in other aspects of life.

Feng Yu thought that when productivity increased in the future, he would solve the problem of alcohol for the dwarves and tie the dwarves completely to his own broken ship.

As for brewing wine, rice wine, fruit wine, and grain wine, which one is not a thousand times better than the swill wine in the camp. Feng Yu drank that wine several times with his nose blocked, but he still didn't have the courage to even remember the name of the wine. He just called that sour and smelly soup "swill wine".

In fact, swill wine is not completely useless. At least it can stimulate appetite and relieve greasiness.

Dick gladly took note of Feng Yu's request and ordered fifty craftsmen who came to help from the royal city to bring porcelain and salt back to the royal city to help Feng Yu complete the transaction.

Feng Yu was not afraid that the dwarves would be evil-minded and give him materials of unequal value. After all, he had the salt in his hands. The Dwarf Kingdom was not the Copper Hammer Clan who was on good terms with Feng Yu. If they were not honest, Feng Yu would cut off their supply and force them to buy the high-priced salt from the goblins.

The matters at hand were all resolved, and there was no good news from Anthony regarding the high-efficiency gunpowder. Feng Yu could only go to Clarence on his own to find a solution. It just so happened that he also had something to ask Clarence.

Feng Yu wanted to make a set of high-hardness alloy tools, the same kind that Dick used to cut armor plates. At first he thought it was the product of the dwarves' alloy smelting technology and marveled at the dwarves' awesomeness. Later he learned that the high-hardness alloy was the specialty of alchemists.

Generally, magicians who work as alchemists are magicians who major in fire magic. The starting point of an alchemist is relatively high, and only formal magicians can learn alchemy. Only when they become senior magicians can they do some alchemical experiments. Only then can they be considered a barely qualified alchemist.

If you want to go further on the path of alchemy, you have to become a magician or even a grand magician, because only in this way can the magician as an alchemist control the more blazing fire magic elements, produce higher temperature flames, and conduct alchemical experiments.
