I just don’t know which country the Turks are planning to attack with this large-scale war preparation.
The Turks are backed by the Xuanshou Forest to the north, Persia and Dayu to the west, the sea to the east, and Xiyue on the other side of the sea.
Xiyue was on the other side of the continent, far away from Dayu. If the Turks wanted to attack Xiyue, they would have to travel through mountains and rivers for a long time, which would end up being counterproductive.
Furthermore, Western Yue was a powerful country with a large population, which the Turks dared not covet no matter what.
To the south is the Holy See, which can be directly excluded. Even if there are ten more Turks, they cannot shake the Holy See.
If the Church is angered, the Turks may destroy their country directly.
That leaves only Dayu, Persia, and the Mysterious Beast Forest.
Needless to say, the Turks would not be so cruel as to occupy the orcs' territory in the Mystical Beast Forest.
Although there is only one tribe of orcs, no one would be interested in a remote place.
The most important thing is that in the eyes of the world, orcs are barbaric, poor and backward, and only rely on prey in the mountains for food. In addition, the unique terrain of the Xuan Beast Forest and the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains make it impossible for the Turks to have any ideas about such a barren place.
Seven years ago, the Turks had raided Dayu. This time, if they were not attacking Dayu, they would directly attack Persia.
Although Persia was a small country, it was rich in resources and its people were prosperous. Under the protection of Dayu, there had been no war for decades.
If the Turks' target this time was Persia, and Dayu stood idly by, then Persia's fate would be in jeopardy.
How could a starving wolf not be greedy when facing a group of sheep that have no ability to fight back!
Jun Shutong came out of the blacksmith shop and went to the cloth shop, clothing store, and grocery store. No matter whether it was daily necessities, handicrafts, or various foods, they were all ridiculously expensive.
This procurement plan has to be completely shelved.
When they arrived at the city gate, seven guards were already waiting there.
"Miss, something big has happened."
"I have discovered many things that are not right."
"The prices of various foods and goods are several times higher than before."
"Furthermore, their ironwork shop doesn't sell farm tools or knives, and refuses to sell anything to outsiders."
"I secretly found out that those blacksmith shops are actually making weapons and armor."
"Because the prices were so high, I…I didn't buy anything."
Jun Shutong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I didn't buy anything either, did I?"
"Miss, the Turks are so blatantly preparing for war. Could it be that they are going to attack our Dayu Kingdom?"
As people from Dayu and soldiers led by Jun Wansheng himself, they attached great importance to this matter.
They knew too well that there is a country before there is a home. Only when Dayu was prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment could they have the stable life they have today.
They were all people who survived the fighting on the battlefield. They knew better than anyone else the importance of the country's survival. Therefore, they were so nervous when they saw the Turks preparing for war on a large scale.
Jun Shutong did not answer directly, but said to the others:
"It's too expensive here, let's go to Persia."
"Let's go back first."
"yes."
The group returned to the inn. Jun Shutong quickly wrote the letter, caught a carrier pigeon from the space, put the folded note into a bamboo tube, tied it up, and sent the letter out.
After discussing the trip to Persia with his subordinates, Jun Shutong entered the space.
She first went to where the orcs were working, talked to them about some details of farming, and then went to see the harvest.
Wheat is the most abundant, almost twice as much as rice and corn.
Those green seedlings in the field were planted after the orcs came in this time.
Taking advantage of the fact that she had some time and was not sleepy, she called over a few farmers who were in charge.
"I got a new plant, and I'll teach you how to grow it when I have time."
"After you learn it, you can teach the orcs. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Miss, that's what you said. We must study hard."
Jun Shutong took people to the place where the cassava was stored and asked them to move them all to the field.
"Miss, what kind of crop is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"This is cassava. It's poisonous, but edible. When food is scarce, it can completely replace the staple food."
"These are seeds. When I have time, I will teach you how to remove the toxins."
"By the way, warn the orcs not to eat it raw. Be sure to keep an eye on them and don't let them eat it raw, or they'll get poisoned."
A dozen farmers nodded blankly. The lady said that this thing called cassava was poisonous, but why did she let them grow it in large quantities?
The farmers were puzzled, but they did as they were told.
Jun Shutong knew the habits of orcs too well. As long as they thought something was edible, they would put it directly into their mouths to test the saltiness.
She gave them instructions again and made sure that the farmers had remembered them before she felt relieved.
"Don't worry, Miss. We will definitely keep it in mind."
If placed outside, cassava can generally be planted after the vernal equinox, and it is better to do it early rather than late. However, now it is planted in space, so it is not restricted by seasons.
Jun Shutong first ordered people to cut the cassava seedlings into small pieces, then make ridges and holes, and dig drainage ditches. Cassava is drought-resistant but not water-resistant, so water cannot accumulate. Then he used farmyard manure as base fertilizer and it was ready for planting.
"Put it down diagonally with the bud point facing upwards, then cover it with soil."
"Okay, it's that simple."
"Find someone to plant all of these. Remember to wash your hands after work, otherwise you will be the only ones who suffer from the poisoning."
"Yes, miss, we've made a note of that."
After several personal demonstrations, the farmers had all learned it.
