Chapter 135 Building a New Tribe

Compared with the steel factory, the production scene of the cement factory is not so shocking. On the contrary, it looks very messy because of the flying of various gray stones, which makes Steele, who came here for the first time, frown.

Vivian did not express any disgust for this environment. When she was a slave under Viscount Leslie, the living environment was not much better than here.

And Xu Yi originally thought that Yanis, who could not accept this kind of environment the most, should be the most repulsive here, but she didn't expect that Yanis just watched quietly and did not express any opinion.

"Yanis, don't you think the environment here is bad?" Xu Yi couldn't help asking.

Yanis shook her head: "I think it's bad. But our elves are very adaptable to the environment, and the environment here has no effect on me."

"I thought your elves had high demands on the environment as rumored," Xu Yi muttered.

"Yes. We elves are a race that pursues perfection. Although they can adapt well to various environments, they have high requirements for where they live and live. If you go to our tribe, you will find where we live. very beautiful."

"I believe it." Xu Yi nodded immediately, thought about it, pointed to the dirty-looking cement factory in front of him, and asked, "Then do you think there is any way to improve the environment here?"

"Just don't let the dwarves here continue to burn the stones to ashes." Anise replied as a matter of course.

Xu Yi couldn't help being bored for a while, and smiled bitterly: "I'm asking to improve the environment while keeping the cement plant running. Is there a way?"

Yanis frowned slightly, thought for a while, and nodded lightly: "There should be a way. There is a kind of quillum growing near our tribe, which can absorb the dust in the air and keep the environment clean. But there is too much dust here, I I don't know if it will work."

"It's good to try." Xu Yi got a satisfactory answer and immediately laughed. "When I get to your tribe, I will ask your elders to help transplant some jingyi grass."

See Anise answer. Xu Yi turned to the patriarch Shi Lui and said, "Patriarch Shi Lu, I suggested you move the living area of ​​the clan people to a farther place to avoid being affected by the smoke here, why are you here this time? But I found that you didn't move?"

The head of the Shilubi clan smiled and patted his thick chest: "President Xu, you underestimate our dwarves too much. It's just some soot. Our dwarves are so strong, we won't take it seriously at all. A long time ago, we dwarves lived in caves in the ground. At that time, we dwarves still loved forging, and every day there was soot in the cave, and nothing happened."

Xu Yi frowned: "Patriarch Shilu, even if your dwarves are strong, the smoke is still very harmful to your body. There are good choices to keep you away from these pollutions, why don't you do it?"

Seeing Xu Yi's expression is serious. Patriarch Shilu touched his big head and said a little embarrassedly: "It will cost a lot of money to move all the clansmen away..."

Xu Yi immediately sank his face: "Patriarch Shilu, I thought you were a good patriarch that the clansmen truly love, but I never imagined that now it's just for the mere money left. Let the clansmen face the danger of physical damage, you are too much for me. disappointed!"

The patriarch Shilu was silent, but Camby, who was accompanying him, couldn't stand it any longer, and said quickly, "President, you misunderstood the patriarch!"

"Why did I misunderstand him?" Xu Yi was already a little depressed because of the shocking pollution here, but now hearing Patriarch Shi Luby's answer, a trace of anger aroused in his heart. Hearing that Camby had to defend him, he immediately asked rhetorically. "Camby, you and the brothers in the workshop live in the factory every day, and you are not affected by it here, and of course you don't know the damage to your people living in this environment. Do you know, if it continues like this. Maybe the lifespan of your dwarves will be affected?"

Camby has been working under Xu Yi for a long time, and now he has gradually developed a sense of awe towards Xu Yi. After being reprimanded by him, he did not dare to refute, but thought about it. He still tried his best to defend the patriarch Shi Lui: "President, you have to be considerate of the patriarch. Although our tribe has finally had a better life because of you, it is still very short of money. All the money the tribes used to buy food was used up."

Xu Yi was startled: "Isn't the money you earn now enough to buy food?"

Patriarch Shi Lui shook his head with a wry smile: "It's enough to buy food, but I want to save some money to rebuild houses for the tribe after the winter, so... President Xu, you You're right, if the health of the clansmen has deteriorated, it is useless to keep money. I will mobilize the clansmen to move immediately!"

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Patriarch Shilu, according to your estimation, how much will it cost to move all the clansmen to a place with a better environment?"

"Actually, if you're just moving, you don't need to spend a single copper coin. We dwarves built the house by ourselves, so it's good to spend some time. But..." A trace of embarrassment crossed Patriarch Shiluo's face. look. "I want to take advantage of the fact that the clan is richer than before, to build better houses for the clan, so I need to buy some materials from humans, and at best, I can ask you humans to help us build houses, because you Humans are actually much better at building houses than us, and they are a little more beautiful. I calculated that if we built a beautiful house for every family in the clan, it would cost more than 2,000 gold coins in total.”

Xu Yi nodded and said solemnly: "Well, Patriarch Shi Lu, I represent the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to express here that I will sponsor your tribe with 3,000 gold coins in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, which will be used to build a new house for you."

Patriarch Shilu and Camby were both surprised and waved their hands again and again.

"How can that be! No, President Xu, our tribe can have a good life now, but it's all because of you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. We have already received so much help from you, how can we ask you to give us more money? No, I can't take this money!"

Xu Yi said decisively: "If you don't accept it, you have to accept it. But Patriarch Shilu, I thought about it, I'm afraid it's not good to give you money directly, because you are dwarves, if you go to a human builder to build a house for you, I'm afraid you will be punished. A lot of gold coins. Okay, now I have a good relationship with the Amli Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, and I will come forward to contact the Amli Chamber of Commerce to build a house for you. As for the style and location of the house, the You decide, what do you think of this plan?"

Patriarch Shilu and Camby's eyes lit up.

"This method is not bad. But President Xu, this... this is too much trouble for you. And it costs a lot of money, right? I'm afraid that two thousand gold coins are not enough..."

Xu Yi waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about the money. Thinking of letting the Amli Chamber of Commerce build a new house, I suddenly had a new idea. President Shi Lu, do you know that our Kingdom of Lampari has about a total of How many dwarven brothers are there?"

"This..." Patriarch Shilu thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "Probably... there are two or three thousand? I'm not sure."

"Well, how many dwarf brothers can you contact?" Xu Yi asked again.

"There are only less than twenty tribes connected with our tribe, adding up to less than 5,000." Chief Shilu replied.

"Very good. My new idea is that since I'm going to build a new house, let's just build a little more at a time. I'm going to choose an open spot not far from here and build enough to accommodate thousands of dwarves at once. A large house. In addition to the dwarves of your Norma tribe moving in there, dwarves from other tribes are also invited to live there. For example, Patriarch Monto of the Angolan tribe should agree with my idea.”

Hearing Xu Yi's thoughts, not only the dwarves such as Patriarch Shiluo and Camby were startled, but even Steele looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

"Hey, Xu Yi, what do you want to do? Aren't you afraid of arousing the vigilance of the kingdom's officials by gathering so many dwarves together?"

Xu Yi was startled: "This is a problem..."

Patriarch Shilu hurriedly said: "Miss Steele is right. If we dwarves gather too much together, I'm afraid your human king will misunderstand. President Xu, we have accepted your intention to help us build a house. , forget about the rest."

"No, I think it's a good idea. His Majesty the King may not object or be vigilant." Xu Yi thought for a while and continued, "Well, let's follow our original plan. place, I'll go to the Amri Chamber of Commerce to help you build a new tribe. But Patriarch Shilu, when you're choosing a location, it's best to choose a place where you can build more houses next to it, in case my vision works With the approval of His Majesty the King, there is room for realization."

Seeing Xu Yi insisting, Patriarch Shi Lui nodded and agreed.

However, out of prudence, Patriarch Shilu couldn't help reminding Xu Yi.

"President Xu, although thousands of years have passed since the racial war, you humans are still very wary of us foreigners. It's okay for you to hire some of our dwarf brothers to work, but if you want to gather so many dwarves together like this, It's easy to arouse the suspicion of your human king. I'm worried that this will bring trouble to both you and the New Flying Merchants Association, you'd better be more careful."

Steele also frowned and said worriedly: "Yeah, Xu Yi. President Shi Lui is right, although I personally have no prejudice against dwarves and other races, it is hard to guarantee that other people have these prejudices. Some people are already hostile to you, and if you don't get along well with the dwarves, you will be caught."

"I understand your worries." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "But I have to say that they haven't realized the value contained in other races. If one day they can understand, I'm afraid they don't need any action from me, they will actively seek change. At that time, I can To be a prophet!"

Steele rolled his eyes at him: "I'm afraid you will become a martyr before you become a prophet."
