Chapter 25: Chapter 25: The Magic Lamp

Aslan nodded with a smile. His career as a politician in his previous life has made his smile completely professional, and he can maintain a friendly smile anytime and anywhere.

"Gao Wen asked people to bring down the goods, especially the newly bought linen. They were all registered and prepared to be sold in the mall next week, so that the people would not have to suffer from the cold this winter."

Aslan directed Gao Wen to pull down the daily necessities from the car.

Today's Merlot town is not yet self-sufficient, and many things have to be purchased outside, so Aslan planned the development of the entire Merlot town into a planned economy.

Many things cannot be purchased with money, but with receipts.

For example, cloth tickets are needed to buy cloth, and iron tickets are needed to buy farm tools.

There is no need to buy these things, as long as you work for the city lord's mansion and the lord, in addition to wages, you can also get these bills.

At the beginning, many people could not accept it, but gradually the people could accept it, and they also supported Aslan's decree very much, and made all the people proud to work for the lord and the city lord's mansion.

This is also Aslan's helpless move in developing Merlot Town in the early stage. It is really that the economy and industry of Merlo Town are too backward.

Aslan took off his gloves and threw them on the table, rubbed his cheeks that were already a little sour from laughter, and said lightly: "I haven't been here for more than ten days, has anything happened?"

Arthur took the initiative to stand up and said that Aslan's eyes lit up when he took the bait, 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 town of Melo in the past six months made him feel younger than a teenager, and he said in a confident voice: "My lord, the carpentry factory you asked for has been built, and production has begun slowly. However, there are not many carpenters in the town, so the output is a bit low. However, I have arranged for a group of apprentices to learn. I believe it will not take long. A satisfactory answer can be given.”

Aslan nodded in satisfaction. In this world, there are no porcelain products. Therefore, the main tableware in this world is plates and pots carved out of wood, and nobles are better, their tableware is mainly made of silver or gold.

Furniture is something that nobles or wealthy businessmen can afford, so the main customers of Aslan's carpentry factory are nobles and wealthy businessmen.

Mainly with the residents of big cities.

To put it simply, the carpenter factory will be a foreign exchange-earning industry for the town of Merlot in the future.

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

"The textile factory has officially started construction. It is easy to find female textile workers. There are already more than 20 people working, but it will take a while for the flax in the flax field to harvest well. The flax in the current factory is wild in the jungle not far away. There is a serious shortage of flax, so it is impossible to continue to increase the manpower."

Aslan waved his hand indifferently, and looked at a certain place on the map, where Aslan once developed a huge flax field.

Due to the disturbance of the magic elements, the yields of other crops in the Merlot area, except for the buds, will be halved, but Aslan is not worried, because in the next few years, the disturbance of the magic elements will slow down. Slowly restore order, and then everything will return to normal.

This is also the reason why the Melo region has become one of the kingdom's granaries after the chaos of magic elements restored order.

"Intensify the cultivation of flax fields. I hope that from now on, the people in the territory can wear the clothes they produce."

Essien and Wilson nodded excitedly.

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

There used to be a blacksmith's shop and a tailor's shop in the town of Melo, but the scale was small, and it was only gradually expanded after it was included in the planned economy. These two industries are relatively old. Before there was no advanced production equipment, they could only rely on Human operation.

As for why they didn't make ceramics, it wasn't that Aslan didn't want to, but because he couldn't do anything about it. The pottery craftsmanship in this world was very general, and there was mainly no room for development.

This fragile, cumbersome utensil has been slowly phased out of the market, with all but a few must-haves.

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

The backwardness of pottery technology makes porcelain lose the soil for its birth.

So before wanting to produce porcelain, he had to start from scratch, so Aslan first asked people to build a pottery workshop to practice his hands. After a while, he would try to produce porcelain.

"The construction of the cement plant is coming to an end, and the lime mine has been found, but the volcanic ash is a bit troublesome. There are no volcanoes in the entire Merlot area." Essien said helplessly.

"Well! Don't worry about it. When the time comes, contact the Chamber of Commerce in Billy City and ask them to help purchase a batch. Anyway, those things are not worth much." 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, this world also has a technology tree called magic.

"If you have nothing to do, let's have dinner together tonight. I can bring a lot of good things when I go out this time." After finishing the government affairs of the past few days, Aslan invited him.

Essien naturally agreed. After all, no matter how developed the town of Melo is, it is already a remote village, and there is nothing delicious on weekdays, so Essien especially likes to come to the Lord's Mansion for dinner on weekdays.

Dinner was toasted white bread with honey sauce, and simple kebabs, but there were not enough spices, so the taste was not 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 guard of Merlot Township, Arthur is naturally qualified to attend, but he doesn't have high requirements for food, as long as he can swallow it, he will never waste it.

At night, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and there is no starlight, and even the moon appears and disappears from time to time.

Aslan was very irritable and put down the notes he had taken in Billy City, relying on the light from the oil lamp, not to mention reading, he might not be able to see the road clearly if his eyesight was a little weak.

With a flash of inspiration, Aslan stood up abruptly and rushed to his humble alchemy room to fiddle with it. He remembered the magic lamp in his previous life, which was born about ten years ago. It was a young magic lamp from the Clare Magic Tower in Kyoto. Mentor.

It is precisely because the magic lamp quickly swept the entire kingdom that Clare's Magic Tower made a fortune, and became the top magic power in Kyoto from a third-rate magic power.

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

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