The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 72 Wasteland Exploration
Of course, Feng Yu would never say this to anyone, and would only keep it to himself. At this critical juncture, stirring up racial conflict is not compassion or speaking up for the halflings, but stupidity is just stupidity!

"So the trade you're talking about is just salt and porcelain?"

"How could that be possible? We still have steam engines! I heard that the food in the Longyue Forest is made into flour before it can be eaten, and there are also many kinds of dried fruits. We have already made a machine that can grind the food into fine flour, which is many times finer than the flour ground by stone mills.

There are also machines with adjustable degree of crushing, which can break up the pits of dried fruits without damaging the kernels.

In addition, I also taught them how to make canned food. All they need is a porcelain jar and a small amount of honey to preserve the fruit for a long time. It is a good choice whether they eat it in winter, sell it here, or sell it to the goblins.

I have asked about the prices of goods traded between the Goblins and the Misty Moon Forest. I have made a list with the items I need and their prices. I will have the ship carry salt and porcelain and exchange them for items of equivalent value or pay with silver coins according to the prices on this list.

Of course, I don’t have silver coins now, I will have to wait for later. Now it’s best to barter.

The metal ingots from the dwarves have already started to be shipped here. I will make a few more ships and try to send one to the Misty Moon Forest every day. This way, there will be no problem exchanging materials between our two places."

Anthony looked at Feng Yu for a while before saying, "What exactly are you going to do?"

"Make some money and buy Nicole a two-foot red hairband."

After Feng Yu finished speaking, he thought about it and felt that there was something wrong with it. He quickly said "Puh, Puh, Puh" and said again: "Make a lot of money and buy Nicole a private jet for shopping as soon as possible."

Anthony was confused, but he understood what Jin Shan Yin Shan said. He said in a firm voice, "What do you want so much money for? Tell the truth, don't talk about your country, I don't understand."

"Um... in war, what do you think you can rely on?"

Before Anthony could speak, Feng Yu continued, "Mages need better staffs, better magic crystals, and more magic scrolls, right?
It is best for soldiers to eat meat every meal, so that they will be stronger, wear better armor, and use better weapons. Excellent soldiers should also leave their production positions, be professional soldiers wholeheartedly, and keep training.

In fact, to put it bluntly, wars are fought for supplies. A hundred magicians with bare hands will never be able to beat ten magicians of the same level who are armed with high-level staffs, magic crystals, and magic scrolls.

The same goes for warriors. Everyone knows that alchemical armor has the best defense and alchemical weapons are the sharpest, but why are they rarely worn by high-ranking generals and cannot be equipped on a large scale?

Isn't it just that I don't have money? As long as the money is in place, I can even invite dragons to join the battle and find the best alchemists to refine the best weapons and armor.

Our elf rifles require alchemical potions, cotton, steel, brass and other materials, but what else do you think is there in this wilderness except for vast barren land?
We need to buy all these, how can we do it without money? If we can't make money and buy supplies, how can we protect this industry and fight against the covetousness of the scoundrels?"

Anthony said, "So you plan to earn the money you need from the elves and halflings in the Moonlit Forest and the dwarf kingdom in the Snowy Mountains?"

Feng Yu smiled and said, "Don't be funny. These three tribes are poorer than each other. The goblins have to come at different times to plunder the little money they have accumulated. I want to make a fortune from these three tribes. I'd better ask Clarence to make me a sharper alchemical dagger so that I can cut my neck more easily.

These three tribes are our providers of production resources and labor, but as for the final consumers of the goods, we have to find others.”

Anthony said in a long tone: "Other people? Are you planning to do business with the human race?"

"How can that be possible? There are still goblins around!"

As for who the goblins are sold to, I have no right to interfere. But Feng Yu did not say this.

"Give me the list and the method of making canned food. I will send a message to Longyue Forest now."

"That's all right, thank you, old man."

Anthony had been "enlightened" by Feng Yu twice, and now he also had the idea of ​​changing the status quo, so he agreed to this kind of thing that did not harm the interests of the elves much more readily.

Feng Yu took some time out to take Alan and a team of halflings to conduct a survey of the soil in the wasteland. After all, now that they have a steam engine, they have the conditions to pump water to irrigate the wasteland. But if the wasteland is like a big colander that can't retain water, then wouldn't all their efforts be in vain!

When it comes to drilling for soil, there is a magical tool on Earth that is simple to make and easy to use. It is the favorite of tomb robbers and an indispensable helper for archaeologists, the Luoyang shovel.

Feng Yu and Allen led a team of half-orcs carrying long Luoyang shovels, riding on horned deer and parading through the wilderness, just like a group of grave robbers who were going to rob tombs in broad daylight, as arrogant as they could be.

He thought happily on the horned deer that with the way this group of people looked, if they were on Earth, wandering around in the city they would be considered role-playing, but if they left the city they would basically be taken to the detention center by the police to explain themselves.

Incidentally, he now has a license to drive a horned deer.

However, he preferred the big golden-haired mounts that the halflings used for herding, but that thing couldn't carry him. Even the largest and strongest antlered deer in the camp that Nicole chose for him couldn't carry him and run.

As for the dwarves' exclusive mount, the mountain goat, that creature did bring honor to the sheep clan. It was short, stout and powerful, but it was too short compared to Feng Yu's body size. When he sat on it, his feet had to drag on the ground, which was really useless.

The Luoyang shovel is really useful for digging holes and exploring the soil. Feng Yu and his team spent a day in the wasteland near the camp and had a general understanding of the soil quality near the wasteland.

The closer the wasteland is to the Lengshui River, the denser the soil is, which is equivalent to loess. However, when this kind of soil dries, it will turn into hard clods when dug, and it cannot be broken up without hard hitting.

After passing the loess land, going further west, you will reach the place where the halflings are farming. The soil here is much softer and there is some fine sand in the soil. The halflings grow millet here, a kind of thing similar to corn on Earth.

However, the corn cob grows at the top of the crop, and a flower stalk grows in the middle of the corn cob with a flower spike on it, which completes the pollination of the corn cobs below.

Feng Yu felt that this thing grew much more scientifically than the corn on Earth. The corn cobs on Earth grew in the middle, and a lot of the pollen was blocked by the corn leaves.

The pollination of corn is very good, and the grains are golden all the way to the top of the corn cob, which is very pleasing to the eye.
