Chapter 268

Although the transaction had to be put aside for the time being, Yu Sui came up with a better idea.

Small orcs are less nimble and stronger than werewolves and argali, and certainly not as strong as tauren, but they are stronger than dwarves.

After all, they are orcs and cannot be weak. However, they are not so good in the eyes of large orcs and high-level monsters.

But small orcs like these can definitely take over the papermaking job. All they need to do is find a dwarf to teach them and supervise them. It's totally feasible!

In this way, the output of paper will increase. Now the tribe’s paper is all made by the dwarves, and at most it is supplied to the tribe for its own use. There is not much left for trading. The dwarves also have other jobs and cannot spend all their time on papermaking.

He was so smart. The small orcs had nothing to do after cutting potatoes, and the underground sewage pipes over there were almost dug, so the remaining work could only be handed over to the dwarves. At this time, they were responsible for making paper, so the dwarves didn't have to be so busy.

However, if the small orcs are responsible for papermaking, the scale must be expanded. The dwarves also need to forge various tools and weapons, so there is definitely not enough space.

It seems that it is time to build a paper mill. Yu Sui originally wanted to build public toilets first, but now it seems that he can postpone it for a while. The dwarves cannot build the pipes and parts of the sewage system so quickly.

Building a paper mill doesn't need to be too complicated. Yu Sui's idea is to build a few large warehouse-like houses, put papermaking tools inside, and set up a few tents next to them for the papermaking employees to live in, and then slowly build dormitories.

It has to be said that the arrival of these small orcs is like a timely rain. Yu Sui has long been worried about the lack of manpower in the tribe. The farm is definitely not enough with only Aqing and Feng. After the brick kiln is expanded, the amount of bricks must also be increased. It is no longer enough to rely solely on the cubs and the orcs who only come to help when they have time.

The bricks cannot be used immediately after they are made. They need to be dried in the shade for a period of time. It will be very troublesome if there is a shortage of supply.

If the human caravan brings cotton this year, Yu Sui also plans to build a textile factory in the tribe, and it would be best if he could also build a garment factory, so that the Heitu tribe can be self-sufficient in clothing in the future.

In the past, there were fewer people in the tribe, and Yu Sui's idea just flashed through his mind, and he had never thought about implementing it. He also had many modern clothing patterns, and only a small part of them was provided to Kalan and others in winter. These patterns would only be officially put to use after the garment factory started operating.

After making these arrangements, Yu Sui was surprised to find that less than three hundred small orcs were still not enough. Now he was still worried about whether the small orcs could be integrated, and just didn't want to tire them to death.

Maybe we can even let them learn to make pottery... Just after he said not to tire the small orcs out, Yu Sui couldn't help but start thinking about other jobs suitable for them.

The claws of the cat clan must be very useful, and the mouse clan is definitely no exception. As for the rabbit clan, although they may not be dexterous, they can grow radishes!

Yu Sui planned to allocate a piece of land specifically for them to grow radishes! White radishes can be stewed with lamb, and carrots can be stir-fried, eaten raw, or even made into soup. The sweet taste is so delicious that Yu Sui, who lacks vegetables, can't refuse it.

Why couldn’t Dahua catch more? Yu Sui thought depressedly that the people sent by the other force would torture the captured orcs. It would be better to let Dahua catch them all and trade with him.

The current ruler of the kingdom must be a fool, only caring about the tiny benefits in front of him. Not only does he sell out his own kind and ruin the reputation of the orcs, but the small orcs can only do a few jobs. The money earned from selling them as slaves will eventually run out, so there will be no suitable population.

It is true that a full man is never hungry. The Black Map Tribe is eager to go out and rob people to join the tribe, but the Golden Kingdom is even worse. It sells the good people as slaves. It is really speechless.

I was lost in thought and found myself back home.

A while ago, I had planned to make some sesame cakes for Qi, Xiangcao and Xu to eat on the road, but one thing led to another and none of them could go out without worry. Yu Sui simply sent the sesame cakes to the canteen to share with everyone. It wouldn't be too late to make them a few days before they set off when the tribe calmed down.

This is the storage room where the sesame cakes are placed, and it is still filled with the aroma of oil.

"Hey, Shuyu, you're home."

Yu Sui hadn't seen Shuyu during the day for a while, especially after the elf team came to the tribe. Shuyu was so busy that he didn't even have time to teach him magic in the morning.

Now Shuyu can switch between human and elf forms freely, and is no longer so elusive. He can even stay at home and read in broad daylight.

Since the last conversation, Shuyu has completely stopped disguising himself and is flipping through a book that looks like it was produced by an elf.

The elves do not use parchment scrolls. They have a kind of leaf paper that is unique to the Elf Forest. It is not only easy to write on, but also not easy to rot and will not deteriorate even for thousands of years.

"I'm still waiting for you. Why didn't you come to learn magic this morning?" Shuyu said in a slightly blaming tone.

Teachers are like this. They feel it is a pity to see a promising student not studying seriously. The same is true for Shuyu. It is the first time he has met an orc with such a high talent for natural magic. He learns quickly, but the other party happens to be a tribal leader and has no time to study when he is busy.

A smile spread across Yu Sui's face. "I'm busy leading my people to plant rice. Blue and Jerry are learning to dig wells with the dwarves. I don't want to disturb them, so I'll just plant some seeds."

"Okay, you're tired, I made you some maple scones."

As he spoke, Shuyu took out an exquisite silver plate from the ring. On it was a pile of soft, sweet and fragrant scones, with a circle of syrup drizzled on them.

"I was wondering why there was a good smell in the house, and I thought I was starving!" Yu Sui took the plate in surprise. He didn't even have time to pick up the chopsticks, and took a big bite with the plate in hand.

"It smells so good! Shuyu, you're amazing!"

The milky and soft scones went into his stomach without much chewing. Yu Sui was stunned by the sweet and rich taste in his mouth. His face was covered with syrup and he exclaimed.

Shuyu smiled gently, then quietly took out a clean handkerchief and reached out to wipe Yu Sui's cheek.

This action was a bit too intimate. Yu Sui tilted his head without thinking, freed one hand to take the handkerchief, and wiped his face roughly.

"Hehe, it's made of elf cloth. You are so extravagant. You are worthy of being the prince." He joked.

Shuyu was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly made such a move. This was completely against etiquette.

Forced to smile, Shuyu didn't want Yu Sui to notice anything unusual, "Then I'll give it to you."
