As an elf elder who has lived in this world for more than three hundred years, Elusia undoubtedly possesses outstanding wisdom and foresight, as well as a clear understanding of the world.
In fact, even without the conversation with Xu Yi, she would have already discovered the problems encountered by the elves.
But the appearance of Xu Yi gave her a good opportunity to implement her own ideas.
So after a long conversation between Xu Yi and Elder Elusia, the cooperative relationship between the two parties was easily determined.
In the initial cooperation between the two parties, Xu also started to help the Yege tribe solve the water source problem.
For this reason, Xu Yi's initial plan is to build a dam upstream of the river flowing through the Falling Rain Forest, and at the same time dredge the downstream river, and finally dredge the entire river again.
This is a big project, and it will take a lot of time to complete even on a technologically advanced Earth. Naturally, it is not that easy on the continent of Sainz.
And in order to manage the river well this time, Xu Yi also decided to ask the Armli Chamber of Commerce, which was responsible for the project, to use the reinforced concrete technology just learned from him to build a stronger dam and reinforce the river embankment. Repair.
According to estimates, as long as this project can be completed, the river will not have to worry about changing its course for at least a hundred years.
This project costs a lot of money, and the Yege tribe naturally cannot afford that much money.
Correspondingly, the Yege tribe began to conduct research on resin-related materials in accordance with Xu Yi's requirements. At the same time, they began to collect resin in large quantities. After the large-scale resin smelting furnace jointly developed by Xu Yi and the Yege tribe was completed, they would begin to collect large quantities of resin. Produce various resin materials for use by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
As for Yanis's request to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because of Xu Yi's proposal, Yanis did not become Xu Yi's slave, so in the eyes of Elder Elusia, this request could not be counted as compensation at all.
On the surface, repairing river embankments and river dredging would cost a lot of money. According to Xu Yi's preliminary estimate, even if the river is not big. The minimum cost is more than 100,000 gold coins, and the reward given by the Yege tribe is undoubtedly not enough.
But in the long run, mastering the resin material technology will be of great significance to the development of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, it can be regarded as opening up a new profit point, and thus gaining a good cooperative relationship with the Yege tribe.
Overall, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually more profitable.
Xu Yi, Steele, and Vivian stayed in the Night Song tribe for three days. After Xu Yi thoroughly explained his various requirements for resin material research to the elves, he set off to leave.
Because Yanis wanted to stay in the tribe to celebrate the New Year, so when leaving, Yanis just sent the three of them out of the Forest of Falling Rain, and then to the Angola tribe, then turned around and left.
And since today is December 30th, it is the last day of this year. He didn't stay at all in the Angora tribe for three days. He just said hello to Chief Monto, Chief Shilui and other dwarves who came after hearing the news, and then hurriedly drove the carriage again and ran all the way back to Bangta. city.
It was already approaching dusk when we arrived at Bangta City. After entering Bangta City, the three of them found that Bangta City was extremely lively today. Bright lights were shining through the windows of every house, and various noisy sounds came from them, making it very lively.
It seems that it doesn't matter whether it's on Earth or the Sainz Continent, no matter which world it is. Welcoming the New Year is a very important event, and it is also a good time for family reunion.
Seeing Xu Yi's side face looking towards the roadside, Steele couldn't help but opened his mouth again: "Xu Yi, why don't you and Vivian go to my house to celebrate the New Year? Of course, grandpa, my parents will also welcome you and Vivian very much. It's okay. If you go, they will be very happy, right
Xu Yi turned his head and looked at Steele. Smiling slightly, he shook his head and said: "No need. Steele, I am very grateful for your thoughtfulness. But welcoming the New Year is a very important thing. According to the rules of our hometown, you must spend the last day before the New Year at your own home. . So I won’t bother you at your house. Besides, I will go to your house to congratulate your grandpa on the New Year. We just haven’t seen each other for one night.”
Steele's face turned slightly red and he muttered: "I didn't have to see you to let you go..."
The carriage soon arrived at Steele's door. When Steele jumped off the carriage, Xu Yi had no intention of going in to visit. He waved to Steele and drove Vivian straight back to his rental house.
Looking at this rental house that he had rented for half a year and had forgotten to change, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that he will spend his fourth New Year in this world in this very shabby little room.
Although there were only two people with Vivian, Xu Yi still decided to prepare a sumptuous dish.
In addition to the few dishes that Vivian was mainly responsible for making, Xu Yi also relied on his memory to make some common dishes that are only eaten during the New Year on earth.
Although these dishes were terrible because Xu Yi had never cooked before on earth, even if they were unpalatable, Xu Yi and Vivian still ate them very happily.
Although the level of excitement was a bit worse than that of other families, thanks to Xu Yi's hard work and fun, the atmosphere was not bad at all.
The only shortcoming may be that there is no television in this world, and there is no Spring Festival Gala that Xu Yi rarely watches every year.
Compared to Xu Yi who was slightly disappointed, Vivian was sincerely happy.
Not long after she was born, her parents, who were also slaves, died in the famine in the Lampali Kingdom for more than ten years. Therefore, Vivian had no impression of her family since she was a child, and she never spent time with them. New Year's memories.
In her fifteen-year career, the first fourteen years had required her to do her best just to survive.
If she hadn't met Xu Yi and been bought by Xu Yi, she wouldn't be as rich in food, warm clothes, and able to go to school and learn knowledge as she is now. She might even have no idea when she would die suddenly.
So on this night, it was her greatest happiness to be able to have New Year's Eve dinner with Xu Yi, her favorite master, and accompany Xu Yi happily and shout wildly.
After eating, Xu Yi looked at the night sky with countless stars shining outside. He suddenly became very interested and suggested to Vivian that he go out for a walk.
Of course, Vivian would not go against his wishes and quickly put on Xu Yi's coat, which was already slightly drunk. When he wanted to clean up the mess on the table, Xu Yi waved his hand to stop him.
"Don't worry about so much today, just be relaxed and happy."
So Vivian smiled and hugged one of Xu Yi's arms, and the two left the rental house. Take a casual stroll in Bangta City at night.
Perhaps because he was a little drunk, Xu Yi pointed to the children running wildly and playing everywhere on the street and told Vivian that when he was a child, he would definitely play around with firecrackers on New Year's Eve. The pile of straw caught fire, and he was severely beaten for it.
After a while, he raised his head and pointed at the stars in the sky, and told Vivian that in his hometown, there was the most easily identifiable constellation in the winter sky, called Orion. There are three stars connected in a straight line. It's Orion's belt.
After a while, his expression became sad, and he even said with tears in his eyes that this was already the fourth New Year that he had not spent with his family. Now he misses his parents very much and doesn't know if they are doing well now.
a while...
…
Vivian supported Xu Yi. Silently listening to his mouth keep popping up nouns that she had never heard before, the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper.
What are firecrackers? Is it fun
Why would the owner say that there is an Orion in the starry sky in his hometown? Isn't the starry sky in his hometown different from the starry sky in Bangta City
Since the master misses his parents very much, why doesn't he go back
…
Questions arose in Vivian's mind, but she didn't intend to ask, because she knew very well that the master just needed to talk now.
Just chatting and strolling forward without realizing it. The two of them had actually left Bangta City and walked to the factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the western outskirts of the city.
It's New Year's Eve, and the two factories are quiet. Except for the magic machine tool workshop where the light of a magic lamp lit by two bachelors specially recruited by Xu Yi to guard the factory shines through, the other places are in darkness. There was darkness.
Xu Yi had no intention of disturbing the two guards and stood in the open space outside the factory. Looking at these two small workshops in the dark, I felt a sense of emotion in my heart.
Although both workshops are small, they represent the seeds of his dream.
Although they seem to be just two buds now, with the development of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, people on the continent of Sainz are gradually accepting and paying attention to the magic industry. Sooner or later these two buds will grow into towering trees.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking out of the corner of the household magic machinery production workshop. Xu Yi was startled. Just as he was about to shout, he suddenly realized that the figure felt very familiar. After taking a closer look, Xu Yi burst out laughing.
"Hey, Heinze, you are not at home today to accompany sister-in-law Riya. What are you doing here?" Xu Yi said hello to the figure in a low voice.
The figure was frightened and looked up. With a ray of light in the workshop, he realized it was Xu Yi and Vivian, and then he relaxed.
A figure walked over, and it turned out to be Heinze.
He glanced at the two of them and asked in a low voice: "I was a little worried, so I came over to check on the situation. Xu Yi, if you and Vivian are not at home to welcome the New Year, why are you here?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to go out for a walk, so I came over naturally." Xu Yi shrugged and turned to look at the two workshops. "Perhaps it's because this place occupies the most important place in my mind now. I can't help but want to come and have a look."
Heinze nodded slightly: "I'm about the same. To be honest, Xu Yi, half a year ago I was just a small grocery store owner. I never imagined that I would now become the major shareholder of a large chamber of commerce." . Many times, when I wake up, I will suspect that what I am experiencing is all fake and just my hallucination, so I come to the factory very early every day just to see it with my own eyes. As long as I see this factory and these two workshops, I feel that I am not living in a dream, and everything I have experienced is real.”
Seeing Heinze's rare expression of emotion, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "No wonder you look reluctant to leave even when you get off work every day. Are you afraid that you will disappear as soon as you leave here?"
Heinze nodded slightly: "Xu Yi, you know that I am not a person with great ambitions. In my opinion, being able to have the life I have now makes me extremely satisfied, so I cherish what I have now. I really I’m afraid that these two workshops will disappear out of thin air one day. If that happens, I even think I will die of sadness.”
"Don't worry, this kind of situation will never happen." Xu Yi grabbed Heinze's shoulders and patted him hard: "These two workshops may disappear because they are too small and can no longer bear the load. The needs of our Chamber of Commerce are larger working spaces like new workshops. But if they disappear, more production workshops will appear to replace them. You have to believe that with the development of our Chamber of Commerce, the Magic Industry will grow. It will be like a fire, spreading across this continent in an instant, and eventually igniting the entire Sainz continent. By that time, the entire Sainz continent will be filled with factories of our Chamber of Commerce, and we will be everywhere. production workshops, Heinze, could you still see every workshop with your own eyes at that time?”
Heinze looked at the deep night, but his expression was obviously immersed in Xu Yi's description.
After a while, he murmured and asked: "Xu Yi, will what you said become reality?"
Xu Yi nodded extremely firmly: "Definitely. Because the magic industry has sprouted on this continent, no one can stop its growth. Sooner or later, our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will create a big business on this continent. The magical industrial empire!”
