As the sun shone on their faces, the working serfs took off their heavy cotton-padded jackets, shouted slogans, and raised their axes to chop the fast-growing iron thorns.
The fast-growing iron thorns were ironwood quality wood that would immediately sink to the bottom of the water. Therefore, ordinary bone tools could not chop them off. Iron tools had to be used.
However, the Flower Town's bone shop had very hard bone tools – decayed, ancient fire dragon bone fragments were used as raw materials.
The bone tools of the bone shop were not sold to the public. Instead, they were numbered and distributed to the serfs for free.
Even though they had long decayed and lost the magical power of the dragon, they were still dragon bones. Liszt did not want them to wander outside the town.
The dragon-bone machete was used to chop the fast-growing iron thorns. The effect was similar to that of a fine steel machete, but it was more durable.
The serfs had a dragon-bone machete in their hands. It took them about half an hour to chop off a fast-growing iron thorns the thickness of an adult's arm.
Unfortunately, the dragon bones could not be polished more finely to make a dragon bone saw.
Currently, the iron saw was still the most effective in logging. A team of two could saw off a fast-growing iron thorns in five minutes. Unfortunately, there was a lack of iron. Iron was needed in all aspects, so the iron saw could not be made.
In any case.
The scene was in full swing.
Liszt stood far away outside the Garden of Thorns and looked around. It could be considered as a tour of the logging site. The Flower Town's serf logging team was definitely a fighting team. At first, with crude tools and World of Warcraft, the huge Thorns Ridge was completely cut down.
Not to mention the trifling Garden of Thorns.
The officials headed by Gort were also very combative. They organized the serfs to carry out the logging work in an orderly manner.
Cutting trees, cutting branches, transporting wood, gathering branches and leaves, replenishing and replacing damaged tools, providing hot water, and bandaging wounds. They worked in groups in an orderly manner.
"Fast-growing iron thorns are high-quality ironwood thorns under the influence of Ella. Although thorns are short shrubs and it is difficult for them to grow into towering trees like rock and stone trees, they can grow rapidly. They can be harvested with the thickness of an arm and used to make furniture and wood. "
Liszt said to the person beside him.
The person beside him was none other than Viscount Trik Wildgrass's son, Aubrey Wildgrass, a big fat man: "I felt the charm of fast-growing iron thorns in the carpenter's shop. It's amazing quality, and it grows even faster than weeds."
"It's definitely incomparable to weeds, but it takes three months for it to mature. It's really amazing, but it's not easy to cultivate it. Without Ella, its growth cycle may slow down by a dozen times. Judging from our planting situation in the Thorns Ridge, it will take about three years to mature. "
"Even if it's only three years, it's still amazing." Aubrey said enviously. "The nobles say that Ella's potion will bring you glory. These ironwood thorns are also a lot of glory."
"If Beer Island wants to introduce it, I can provide the roots of fast-growing iron brambles." Liszt laughed. The last kind of thorns that Ella lacked was provided by Beer Island. Liszt has always remembered this favor.
"Really? Then I have to thank you properly."
"Sell me a little more hops."
"How about I give you 30% of the share that I can control?"
"You're very generous, Aubrey."
Aubrey patted his belly. "I also enjoy your generosity. The food in your castle is going to kill me."
"You're so fat, can you go to the battlefield?"
"I'm not going to the battlefield. At most, I'll follow Orders of Chivalry to get some achievements. Business is more suitable for me. By the way, Liszt, how about I sell your ironwood furniture? Although the Beer Castle channel is shabby compared to the Tulip Castle channel, our fleet is bolder and runs farther. "
According to the information Liszt had.
The Beer Castle fleet seemed to have joined forces with the fleets of several small and medium-sized nobles on the outer islands to control a smuggling route and sell goods to certain areas of the Eagle Kingdom.
Of course, as long as it was not smuggling weapons, the Count would turn a blind eye to it.
After thinking about it, Liszt responded, "As long as the profit is right, why not give it to the Beer Castle to sell?"
Today, Aubrey came to Flower Town as a guest to talk about business. First, he wanted to order more flower soap, and second, he wanted to get a share of the flower wine. Just in time for Flower Town to start cutting down fast-growing iron thorns, they talked about the sales cooperation of ironwood furniture.
Aubrey wanted to cooperate.
Liszt didn't want to always use the Tulip Castle channel, and the two hit it off.
The luncheon atmosphere was very warm, and when the specific cooperation matters were settled in the evening, the atmosphere was even more warm. Gort, as the representative of Liszt, forced Aubrey and his party to the ground with the fragrance of flower wine. Finally, everyone was thrown into the public bathroom to take a hot bath.
Just like any era.
After the arrival of the privileged class, public bathrooms were suspended from opening to civilians.
He did not keep Aubrey and others in the castle. Liszt did not like to stay in the castle with people other than his family. Moreover, there was the siren A Qi on the second floor.
Aubrey and his party were a lot and the castle could not accommodate them. He arranged for Aubrey and his party to live in the aristocratic residential area.
"With the current development of Flower Town, more aristocrats will come in the future. Should I build a guest house?"
There is no similar hostel building in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.
All the aristocrats receive visiting aristocratic guests in their own castles. Liszt decided to open a precedent. After all, he had enough reasons – the castle was small and could not accommodate a few people.
Not only would it not violate aristocratic etiquette, but it would also be praised for being warm and thoughtful.
However, with the development of the territory, after he became a great aristocrat, he would no longer be able to use the guest house to receive guests. Otherwise, the guests would think that he was not valued and laugh at the poverty of the castle.
He rubbed his forehead.
Drink two more glasses of wine with Aubrey.
Liszt was a little tipsy, he was not very sleepy, and he was not in the mood to write history. He had not touched the historical masterpiece "Dragons Fighting in the Wild" that he had vowed to compile for a whole week. He would rather bask in the sun than write when he had time.
He rummaged in the corner of the study and found a wooden stick carved with a beautiful pattern.
"Is this my 'sidechak'?"
Sidechak, like frac abier, is a standard of aristocracy. It is a decorative tool that reflects aristocratic demeanor and identity.
In the hands of the king, it is called a scepter.
In the hands of the aristocracy, it is called a civilizing stick.
The civilizing stick can be carved with patterns, inlaid with gems, made of wood, or made of metal. Liszt's sidechak is a wooden civilizing stick with Tulip patterns carved on it. It was given by the count at his enfeoffment ceremony.
However, since coming to Flower Town, he has not picked it up, let alone attended aristocratic gatherings with it.
Young aristocrats are rarely willing to walk with a civilizing stick.
"I have several thorn crutches for dog training. Should I ask a carpenter to carve a high-quality fast-growing iron thorn civilizing stick for me?"
Liszt touched his chin and had a sudden whim.
The civilizing stick in his hand is made of more than a hundred years old rock wood. It is of good quality, but Flower Town now has fast-growing iron thorns. Using a rock civilizing stick is not in line with his identity.
Immediately, he ordered someone to call the person in charge of the carpentry shop. "Carve a civilizing stick for me, take this civilizing stick as a sample, and engrave the name Ella on it."
