Chapter 25： 25: Magic Light

Aslan smiled and nodded. In his previous life as a politician, his smile has been completely professionalized, and he can maintain a friendly smile anytime, anywhere.

"Gawain asked people to move the goods, especially the linen cloths they just bought, to register them, and prepare them to be sold in the mall next week, so that the people don't have to be frozen this winter."

Aslan commanded Gawain to pull down the daily necessities from the car.

Nowadays, the small town of Merlot does not have the ability to be self-sufficient, and many things have to be purchased out of the country. Therefore, Aslan plans the development of the whole town of Merlot into a planned economy.

Many things can be purchased without relying on money, and a receipt is required to purchase.

For example, cloth tickets are required to buy cloth, and iron tickets are required to buy agricultural tools.

You don't need to buy these things, as long as you work for the city lord's mansion and the lord, you can get these bills in addition to your wages.

At the beginning, many people were not able to accept it, and gradually the people accepted it. They also very much supported Aslan's decree, and made all the people proud of being able to work for the Lord Lord and the City Lord’s Mansion.

This is also the helpless move of Aslan in the early development of Merlot. It is because the economy and industry of Merlot are too backward.

Aslan took off his gloves and threw it on the table, rubbed his already aching cheeks with a sour smile, and said lightly: "I'm not here for ten days, has anything happened?"

Arthur took the initiative to stand up and say that the bait caught Aslan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he smiled and asked Arthur to prepare.

Looking at Arthur who was going away, Essien straightened his collar. Although his hair was gray, the rapid development of the small town of Merlot in the past six months made him feel like he was a teenager again. He said with full anger: "My lord, the carpenter factory you requested has been built, and it has begun to slowly produce, but there are not many carpenters in the town, so the output is somewhat low, but I have arranged a group of apprentices to study. I believe it will not take long. You can give a satisfactory answer."

Aslan nodded in satisfaction. There are no porcelain products in this world. Therefore, the main tableware in this world are plates and basins carved out of wood, and nobles would be better. Their tableware is mainly made of silver or gold products.

Furniture is something that nobles or wealthy merchants can afford. Therefore, the main customers of Aslan’s carpentry factory are still noble wealthy merchants.

Mainly with residents of big cities.

Simply put, the carpentry factory will be an industry for earning foreign exchange in Merlot in the future.

"Very well, how is the textile factory now?" Aslan continued to ask.

"The textile factory has officially started. The female textile workers are very easy to recruit. There are already more than 20 people working. It takes a while for the flax in the flax field to be harvested. The flax in the current factory is not far from the wild jungle. Flax is seriously in short supply, so it is impossible to continue to increase manpower."

Aslan didn't care about waving his hand, and looked at a place on the map, where Aslan once developed a huge flax field.

Because of the mess of magic elements, the output of other crops in the Merlot area, except for the berries, will be halved, but Aslan is not worried, because in the next few years, the mess of magic elements will slow down. Slowly restore order, then everything will return to normal.

The Merlot area is also because of this. After the magical elements are messed up to restore order, the Merlot area has become one of the key reasons for the kingdom's granary.

"Increase the planting of flax fields. I hope that from now on, the people in the territory will be able to wear their own clothes."

Essien and Wilshin nodded excitedly.

"Is there anything else?" Aslan asked unhurriedly after listening to the development of the two factories.

There were also blacksmith shops and tailor shops in the small town of Merlot, but they were small in scale. They only gradually expanded after being included in the planned economy. Both of these industries are relatively old. Before advanced production equipment, they could only rely on Human operation.

As for why not firing ceramics, it is not that Aslan does not want to, but is powerless. The pottery craftsmanship in this world is very general, and there is mainly no room for development.

This kind of fragile and troublesome equipment has been slowly eliminated by the market, except for a few essential tools.

The common people felt that the cost of pottery was too high, the nobles disliked it as too ugly, and over time there was no market.

The backwardness of pottery craftsmanship makes porcelain lose its birthplace.

Therefore, before you want to produce porcelain, you must start from scratch, so Aslan first let someone set up a pottery workshop to practice hands. After a while, he will try to produce porcelain.

"The construction of the cement plant is nearing completion, and the lime mine has been found, but the volcanic ash is a bit troublesome. There is no volcano in the entire Merlo area." Essien said helplessly.

"Well! Don't worry about it. When that happens, contact the Chamber of Commerce in Billy City and ask them to help purchase a batch of them. Anyway, that thing is not worth money." Aslan said indifferently.

Early cement was a mixture of lime and volcanic ash. It may not be as hard as modern cement, but it is enough for a fantasy world. After all, there is a science and technology tree called magic in this world.

"If it's okay, we will have dinner together tonight. This time I will bring a lot of good things." Aslan said after handling the government affairs of the past few days.

Essien naturally agrees. After all, no matter how developed the small town of Merlot, it is already a remote country, and there is nothing good to eat in the weekdays, so Essien always likes to come to the Lord's Mansion to have a meal.

Dinner is toasted white bread with honey sauce, and simple kebabs, but there is not enough spices, so the taste is as good as expected. Aslan just ate a little and didn’t eat it, but it didn’t affect Will at all. Letter and Essien’s appetite.

As the head of the town of Merlot, Arthur is naturally eligible to attend, but he doesn't have high requirements for food, as long as he can swallow it, he will definitely not waste it.

At night, the sky is covered with dark clouds, no starlight is visible, and even the moon is fading.

Aslan was very annoyed and put down the notes he had made in Billy City, relying on the light from the oil lamp, let alone reading, and even a little bit of eyesight might not be able to see the way.

Aslan's spiritual light flashed, he stood up abruptly, rushed into his simple alchemy room and started to play. He remembered the magic lamp of his previous life, which was born in about ten years, and it was a young demon from the Clare Magic Tower in Kyoto Guide.

It is precisely because the magic lamp quickly swept the entire kingdom that the Claire Magic Tower made a lot of money, from the third-rate magic power in Kyoto to the top magic power in Kyoto.

It can be seen that the huge benefits brought by the magic lamp.

At this time, Aslan realized that he had been walking a dead end. In the previous life, he had been using the knowledge of the earth to develop, but this life was different. He also had more than 60 years of knowledge and experience in this different world.
