Chapter 114 Small Saplings Have Great Uses
Back in the town, Chi Nan and others did not disturb too many people, and returned to their own residence.
But what Chi Nan didn't know was that as a lord, how could his every move not alarm anyone. As soon as he came back, many people knew about it immediately, but no one came to disturb him.
Early the next morning, there were many more people in front of Hermila. Hermila also felt a little headache looking at these people. "I understand your request, but the specifics still depend on the Lord's wishes."
"Whatever matter must be handled by me, tell me and listen." Chi Nan just walked over.
"I have met the lord." Everyone saluted at the same time.
Hermila said to Chi Nan: "Lord, this is how it is. These people want to join our caravan to do business. They were all businessmen in the past and are still very familiar with this aspect."
Chi Nan nodded: "Since you are a businessman, why do you have to join our caravan? Can't you form your own caravan?" Chi Nan felt very strange.
"Sir, we don't have a backer. It's easy to be eaten up by others when we go out to do business. Joining the caravan in Hongshaling is the best way out. Don't worry, sir, we are all very experienced in doing business."
Hermila also said on the side: "Lord, many of these people knew my father before, and they are indeed very capable." Hermila was also helpless. She originally thought that she would lose contact with these people after the decline of her family, but Unexpectedly, they were no better. There are very few people who can actually make a comeback with part of their family property left.
This time the attack by the wild orcs was too sudden and too large. Many of their businessmen's backers were wiped out.
Speaking of which, they really deserve to have a business background and are well-informed. I was actually able to find Hermila in Hongsha Ridge, and I also found out that Hongsha Ridge was developing very well, so I came over to ask Hemila to help.
Looking at the fawning looks of these guys, it's really hard to imagine that some people's elder-like attitude in front of me, and even their greedy eyes towards me, can no longer be seen now.
"What kind of business do you want to do?" Chi Nan thought for a while and then asked.
"Flour, we just need to be in the flour business. Don't worry, sir, we will make Hongshaling's flour famous far and wide."
Hearing the guarantees from these guys, Chi Nan nodded slightly, a little unconvinced: "Then it depends on your performance. You go to Lao Muka and he will arrange it for you. But you have to remember, Once you join Hongsha Ridge, you are a member of Hongsha Ridge. If you dare to betray me in the future, the outcome will definitely not be what you want to see. "
"Of course, of course, we know that we will never betray."
Chi Nan couldn't deny it, because he knew the rules of the nobles, and few of the nobles' subordinates would dare to betray them as long as the nobles were still alive. Because once he betrays, it will be impossible to join other nobles.
On the contrary, they will become the object of disgust of all nobles, and even become wanted criminals.
"Okay Hermila, you go ahead and do your work first, I have something else to do." After explaining, Chi Nan walked outside.
I was so excited last night that I almost didn't fall asleep, wasn't it because of the ironbark tree? After planning for most of the night, Chi Nan finally planned the iron bark tree into the species he needed.
"It can absorb iron ions in a wide range, and then form a special alloy with it, and finally grow it. I just don't know the quality of this alloy. If the quality is good, it will be developed."
After research, Chi Nan discovered the reason why no one found this ironbark tree useful. On the one hand, it is because the growth is too slow, and on the other hand, it is because the iron in the ironbark tree is mixed with the wood.
Because the quantity is too small, it is wasteful to smelt it, and no one will do it. Even if it is smelted, it is difficult to obtain high-quality metal because it is mixed with wood. This is the biggest problem.
But Chi Nan was different, because he discovered that this alloy has a very big advantage, that is, it is stainless. That's right, this iron sheet doesn't rust because it grows on plants. In this case, in the future planning of new territories, maybe we can also create a tap water system ourselves.
Forget it, let’s fix the underground pipes first. The reason why the new city has not been built yet is mainly because underground pipelines are not easy to manufacture. Just those ceramic pipes require professional hands to make them properly.
There are no talents in this field here in the territory, so we can only wait for Chi Nan to come up with the corresponding plant pipeline as the main body. Chi Nan walked outside and took out the produced iron bark tree seeds.
Placed on a piece of red soil, magic is generated and the ironbark tree grows rapidly. Nowadays, the improved ironbark tree has stronger adaptability and its growth rate is far beyond what it could be compared to before.
Soon, a small red tree grew. "Hey, it actually has this effect. I didn't expect it. It's really..." Chi Nan suddenly discovered that the red soil under the sapling was quickly fading. After the iron in the soil is absorbed, won't the land return to normal? Soon a piece of dark yellow land will be exposed.
"If this iron bark tree can restore the quality of the land, even if the iron bark is of no use, it will still be a great achievement. The area of the red sand ridge seems to be quite large. It is mainly because of the red soil that it is so barren."
Chi Nan seemed to have seen the spectacular scene of a barren territory turning into a large granary.
However, the specific situation is still unknown, so the experiment must continue. Chi Nan simply planted several iron trees at the same time, and included the surrounding area in the absorption field.
I don’t know how long it has been, the land looks more and more normal. And at this time, the first iron tree planted suddenly cracked. A piece of bark slowly fell off. No, this is not bark, because there is another piece of bark inside the fallen. This piece is a piece of iron, which is infiltrated by iron products and slowly condensed on the iron tree.
After reaching a certain level, this piece of iron cracked and fell off. As the first piece of iron fell off, more and more iron continued to fall off. "Well, at this rate, if it grows naturally, it will fall off a layer in about a week."
This layer does not look very large, but if the number of plantings is large, it will be very considerable. Therefore, some restrictions must be added to the seeds, and only you can plant it. If others want it, then spend money to buy it.
