Chapter 428: Detour
Beishui City.
Although they have been in the academy for nearly two years, Beishui City actually doesn’t come to many. Most of the time, they come here to buy materials or something.
Although the college can also buy some popular materials, more often, Beishuicheng's materials are richer and can find some rare materials.
Some materials are used in small amounts and are piled in the warehouse to eat dust. It is not easy to buy them in time.
Jiayi did not bring Xiaoqing and his pet bird this time, because it was not convenient for Xiaoqing to take him by his side and could not get on the airship. As for his Arrow Hidden Hummingbird, he has started to grow freely now and can only be seen occasionally.
They first went to the construction site in Beishuicheng.
About 3 miles (5km) east of Beishui City is a considerable forest. In fact, the entire Lake Tabernina is surrounded by a forest, but the north is a little sparse, and the closer it is to the college, the denser the forest. Going north to the college, the north is the forest, and then to the north, it is connected to the bitter moss ice field.
After Jiayi and the others arrived, there was no forest in this area. There were only rows of cut down trees piled up on one side, and some large pits and stumps could be seen on the ground.
On the flat land on one side, a building is rising from the ground, but the construction site is messy and the shape is still not visible.
This is the rice fields planned by the college. It is already starting to log and build fields. It will be completed soon. Then it will be composted and dry the fields. When the spring is about to start next year, you can plant elves rice.
This row of buildings under construction is a dormitory for workers. It will be closed and cannot be entered or exited at will.
After Jiayi and the others looked here for a while, the group walked around on the skateboard. A little further away, next to a small hillside, they saw the destination of this group - Maqi and their new paper mill.
Although paper mills rely on the wood produced by logging, they cannot always rely on the other side. The development of rice fields is not endless, and the college has made some choices. In order to be able to "sustainable development", paper mills have also planned a large piece of wood for them.
The paper mill purchases wood from the rice fields, cuts down its own forests, and replants it, forming a cycle. Otherwise, there will be druids in this world. If they are provoked to protest, not only production will be affected, but personnel safety will also be a major event.
Druids are not all rational. Sometimes they regard nature as much heavier than humans and regard humans as pests, although there are many humans among druids.
Moreover, they work all year round, which is much better than 996.
Of course, rational people still account for the majority. After all, human beings have great potential and if they want to develop, they will inevitably infringe on nature.
In fact, if they came directly from Beishuicheng to the new paper mill, they would be closer. However, if they wanted to see the rice fields opened by the college, they turned a corner and walked around there.
But I can't see anything. After all, the rice fields are like that. I just look over it. The large rice fields stretch out and there seems to be no end.
As soon as they entered the border of the paper mill, they saw a circle of fences surrounded by fences, and there were several strong men standing at the door of the fence.
In this way, it seems that the rice fields are more open, but Jiayi knows that there will be magic arrays behind the rice fields. Although the specifications are not high, the protection ability is much stronger than this fence.
As soon as Jiayi and the others entered, they saw a middle-aged man walking out. He looked in his 40s, with a white face and no beard, but he looked much younger. At this time, men like to grow beards, but few people shaved their faces.
"Delis." Maggie stepped forward and waved to the other party, "Where is Laidel?"
Delis gave a noble ceremony to Jiayi. Jiayi did not pay attention, but it seemed that it was not much the same as usual. It was just that he had no research on aristocratic ceremony. He was already a formal wizard, and it was enough to just perform the wizard ceremony.
Just like a Taoist priest only needs to bow, a monk only needs to tie his 10th, and a Christian only needs to draw a cross.
However, Jiayi was a little surprised to observe that the other party was a mage apprentice. However, the mage apprentice of this age was almost able to break through to the limit of the gray-robed mage, and his potential had been exhausted.
Yanxi, who was only one side, squinted slightly and looked at Macchi with some fun.
Delis said: "Leidel is not here, he went to contact the other chambers of commerce. After we made the blank paper, we still needed to cooperate with several chambers of commerce. The sales were too slow. Except for the Kingdom of Suthern, we all needed to cooperate with other chambers of commerce."
Maggie didn't want to care about these things anymore, just said, "You can solve these yourself. Remember to do a good job of the accounts, don't have any problems, and you also need to maintain the relationship between the college. No one in Beishui City dares to cause trouble for the college."
Maqi briefly gave a few words and took Jiayi and the others into the paper mill.
The place here is more than ten times larger than the school's paper mill, and the planning looks more reasonable, but the equipment has not been updated much, but it is a little more. Delis said that they were going to level the hillside next to it and make a slope to dry the raw materials.
This paper mill will only produce paper of ordinary grade or below, which is used in large quantities, while special paper and high-grade paper will only be produced in old paper mills.
As he said that, Delis complained: "The location of this paper mill is too remote. It should be chosen next to the Issuvi River, as transportation will be much more convenient."
"That's impossible." Jia Yi shook his head immediately, "That would pollute the water source. The pollution of the Yisuwei River will affect the water safety of Beishui City. If you are not afraid of being hung up by the irritable mage and soaked in the water, you can try it."
As he said that, Jia stared at Delis' eyes and looked at him: "And the pollution here must be controlled well, so there must be no sloppy. I heard that there are druids living in the forest of Northland. If they are provoked, it doesn't matter to the academy, and your own safety will be difficult to protect."
"Revenge druid?"
Jiayi was a little surprised, and he didn't expect that the other party would know about revenge on the druid.
However, he shook his head: "I don't know, few people have seen it. I heard that a professor in the college knows it. Even if it is not a revenge druid, I will not be polite when I see you pollute the water source. And I also heard that some elves may come over. You should be more low-key, especially when cutting down trees."
Jiayi himself was not sure about the news, but heard his teacher mention it. It seemed that the elf rice from the academy had already spread to the elf clan, so some elves wanted to come and have a look.
The college has not made a lot of publicity about the elves rice, but it is indeed that some elves rice has flowed into the market to test and feedback, and has already negotiated and cooperated with several large chambers of chambers of commerce. Although the public is not very clear, it is no secret for senior mages to have elves rice in the college.
Jiayi originally wanted to ask the college to advertise two advertisements in the newspaper, but the college refused without thinking. Now the Yi Ling rice production capacity is seriously insufficient, and she only worrys about not buying and selling it, and is not afraid of not being able to sell it.
"Elf?" Delis opened his mouth in surprise.
For him, the elves are really a legendary species. They are not only beautiful and elegant, but also very strong and united. Most importantly, the elves' love for nature is well known. He is a little afraid that his paper mill will be smashed by meteorites from the sky.
Markey gently hammered Jia and comforted Delis: "You don't have to be afraid, the elves also have to reason. They won't do anything excessive in the academy. As long as you do it according to the standards I gave you, the academy will protect you... as long as you have not made any mistakes."
He felt relieved when he heard Machi's words, but he was still a little nervous. He used to despise the remoteness of this place and the wastewater treatment cost a lot of money. Now, he just wants to hide in a more remote place so that the elves will not notice it.
And you have to carefully check the sewage treatment system and never cause problems to cause elves.
