Although there is cassava in this world, no one knew that this poisonous plant could be edible until Jun Shutong told him about it.
As for foreign species such as soybeans and sugarcane, it was the first time they had seen them. With Jun Shutong demonstrating in person, the farmers naturally learned quickly. Basically, they could do it well after watching it twice. Compared with Jun Shutong, who was a half-baked person, the farmers' level was many times better.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be grown in the space, and they have learned how to do it long ago. Now all they have to do is take out the seeds and have people plant them in the wasteland.
"Miss, this sugarcane looks similar to cassava. Could it also be poisonous?"
Jun Shutong burst out laughing. She was so busy demonstrating to others that she forgot to educate them about the benefits of sugarcane.
"Don't worry, sugarcane is not poisonous. It is not only non-toxic but also a great treasure."
"Ah, what kind of treasure could this tree trunk-like thing be? Could it be a valuable medicinal herb like Ganoderma lucidum or ginseng?"
"It's not just a medicinal herb, it's also the main raw material for making brown sugar."
"Sugarcane also has the effects of clearing away heat and promoting salivation, moistening dryness and soothing the stomach, detoxifying and quenching thirst, removing phlegm and removing internal heat, stimulating appetite, strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion. In short, it has many benefits!"
Jun Shutong talked about a lot of benefits of sugarcane, and Xia Xue only heard that it was the raw material for making brown sugar.
"Miss, you said that sugarcane can be made into brown sugar, so is it very sweet?"
"Of course, if the seeds weren't so few, I would give each of you a section so that everyone can taste it."
There was no way. There were too few of these inconspicuous seeds in the system. Although they were like the tips of sugarcane and not very sweet, Jun Shutong still restrained the urge to eat them.
After finally digging out hundreds of seeds, she was reluctant to eat them, so she saved them all for seeds.
She planted some in space and some in the forest. She wanted to see which one tasted better.
If it can be grown in the forest, it can be planted on a large scale in the future. Not only can our own people eat it, but we can also build a factory to produce brown sugar ourselves.
There is free land, workers who only need food, and dwarf masters participating in the construction. The leftover candies will be sold to various countries on the continent. Jun Shutong seemed to see a lot of gold coins waving at her. Just thinking about it was beautiful.
"Well, now that you've all learned it, teach them as usual and plant it on a large scale."
Jun Shutong patted the dirt off his body, used his mind to take out a bucket of water to wash his hands, and then returned to his room on the second floor.
As soon as I changed my clothes, Xia Xue sent me a letter via carrier pigeon.
"Miss, the king has sent a letter."
Jun Shutong unfolded the letter and found it was written by Mr. Jun.
This was the first time her grandfather had written to her since she left the capital two years ago.
After reading the contents of the letter, Jun Shutong thought for a long time without saying anything.
Seeing the young lady so serious, the two maids thought something had happened in the royal capital. Xia Xue said anxiously:
"Miss, is there something wrong with the Jun family?"
Jun Shutong came back to his senses and said slowly, "Nothing has happened to the Jun family. My grandfather asked me to agree to let the Kingdom invest 20% of the shares. His Majesty will send another 2,000 people to mine. This way, the Jun family will not be fighting alone. He said that with the Kingdom's backing, my situation here will be much better."
"Tell me, given my current situation, what difference does it make whether the kingdom invests or not?"
The two maids were also furious and their faces turned red. Xia Xue said angrily:
"Our minerals have all been taken away. Even if Your Majesty sends 20,000 men, will they dare to offend the Holy See and take them back?"
"It's fine if others bully the young lady, but I didn't expect His Majesty to also target the young lady. This is really too much."
Yingying asked worriedly, "Miss, do you agree to the Kingdom becoming a shareholder?"
Jun Shutong smiled bitterly. "What can I do if I disagree? My grandfather personally wrote to ask me to agree. Now all the countries are eyeing our mineral resources and trying every possible way to encroach on us. With the Kingdom's participation, the Church might be more restrained."
Jun Shutong understood her grandfather's intention, but she was unwilling to give 20% to the emperor for nothing.
She also knew that these 20% would have to be distributed sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
What she didn't expect was that the Holy See would join forces with the other two countries to rob openly, so she temporarily changed her strategy and took advantage of the situation.
Don’t they want to mine by themselves? Then let them mine as much as they want. When they accumulate a certain amount, she will take it all away.
Now that someone is mining for him, Jun Shutong has more time to look for other minerals.
The Xuan Beast Forest is so big, there is more than just an iron mine and a coal mine!
After a good night's rest at the base, Jun Shutong found Pangolin Jones the next day and discussed with him about helping to find minerals.
Jones was helpless about the robbery of minerals. He wanted to stay away from people that even Jun Shutong couldn't afford to offend.
Without work, Jones's people have to find food on their own. The Xuan Beast Forest is no longer what it used to be. It is difficult to find enough food to fill their stomachs. It is easier to work under Jun Shutong.
Following Jun Shutong, at least he can fill his stomach every day and have extra food to bring back to his family. Now that he has work to do again, Jones is very happy.
As for the previously agreed payment of pure silver, Jones had already put it behind him after more than a year of getting along. Even without pure silver, the same thing would work with amethyst royal jelly, and the effect of amethyst royal jelly was much better than pure silver, and it had no side effects.
When it comes to finding minerals, no one on this continent is more experienced than the pangolin tribe. Even professionals from various countries can only rely on robbery to seize the minerals.
