The orcs had lived in the Mysterious Beast Forest for generations, and had never seen crops growing so well. The older generation of orcs wiped their tears frequently and praised the crops repeatedly.
It turns out that it’s not that crops can’t be grown in the Mystical Beast Forest, but that they simply don’t know how to grow them. Now even the grafted fruit trees have all survived and have grown tender green branches.
After seeing that the camp was being excavated in an orderly manner, the old lady felt relieved and decided to return to Dayu Kingdom. A few days ago, Philip had escorted the old lady back to the Xuan Beast Forest.
On the other hand, although mining in the Holy See is still normal, the speed and output are incomparable to Jun Shutong, and can only be described as snail's pace.
"Miss, those people from the Vatican are so useless. It's been almost half a year, and they've only dug up so little. It's not even as much as we did in the previous month. In my opinion, we should just take the mine back."
"Yes, Miss, they are just wasting their time. If our people were digging, they would have already started making a profit."
Jun Shutong had considered taking back the mine. The No. 2 Iron Mine Camp was now on the right track, and both the space and the base were progressing in an orderly manner. If the mine was taken back at this time, the manpower would have to be dispersed and redeployed.
"Let's wait a little longer. When steel is officially refined, it won't be too late to take it back."
At this time, Jun Shi came to report: "Miss, we have actually found a tung oil mine in Xiyue, about 500 miles away from the area B we marked."
"Oh, that Ke Wen is really persistent. He actually found the tung oil mine."
"There's no need to alert the enemy. Just keep watching. Besides, several other countries are also keeping a close eye on them. As long as they don't pose a threat to us, we can ignore them for now."
"Miss, a letter has been sent by carrier pigeon from the capital."
Jun Shutong unfolded the letter, which was a handwritten letter from the old man. It probably said that the two people from the Fujiwara family who served in the Holy See had resigned and returned to the royal capital, and asked her to be careful, for fear that they would play tricks.
She picked up her pen and wrote a reply to her grandfather, mentioning the progress in the Mystical Beast Forest, and then slipped into the space.
In the space, workers are currently building a warehouse, as the temporary granary they built previously can no longer accommodate the food.
We had not thought about building a few formal granaries before, simply because the grain produced was just enough to feed tens of thousands of people. Now that there is a surplus of grain, it is imperative to build new granaries.
In the future, there will be more and more stored food, so the granary should be as big as possible. Jun Shutong directly mobilized 20,000 people to build the warehouse.
Farming and construction in the space are progressing in an orderly manner, and the base is not lagging behind. Although the grain output is not as high as that in the space, it is still a good harvest.
Half a year later, the sugarcane planted in the Mystical Beast Forest was ripe. Jun Shutong ordered people to cut down all the sugarcane. She threw the remaining seeds into the space for preservation and would plant them next time.
"Miss, this sugarcane is sweet, but it's hard to swallow."
"Who says it's not? I just took a small bite and it was hard to swallow and very hard. It almost broke my teeth."
Jun Shutong was looking at the account book and replied without even looking up: "Nonsense, this sugarcane is sweet and thirst-quenching, how can it be hard to swallow?"
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and looked up abruptly, and saw Jun Wu holding a sugarcane and chewing it while complaining. He stretched his neck hard, trying to swallow the chewed sugarcane residue.
The people next to them were also holding half-eaten sugarcanes, "They have a lot of pain to say."
“Hahahahahahaha.”
Jun Shutong laughed so hard when she saw this funny scene. She didn't expect that what this guy said was hard to swallow turned out to be true.
"Stop! Who told you to eat sugarcane like this? Aren't you afraid of hurting your stomach?"
Jun Shutong picked up a piece of sugarcane and began to demonstrate: "To eat sugarcane, you just need to chew it and swallow the juice. The sugarcane residue must be spit out and cannot be eaten."
Several people were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that this was how sugarcane was eaten.
Xia Xue held the sugarcane and looked at it over and over again, not knowing where to start.
Yingying looked at the sugarcane and fell into deep thought, no one knew what she was thinking. After Jun Shutong finished demonstrating to everyone, everyone started eating it in the same way.
"It's true, sugarcane tastes incredibly sweet when eaten this way. It tastes better than watermelon or cantaloupe."
"I think you're tired of watermelons and cantaloupes, so you think sugarcane is better."
"Miss, if you only swallow the juice from sugarcane, why not squeeze it and drink the juice directly? This way you can avoid the sugarcane residue and you don't have to chew it with your teeth?"
Yes, why didn’t she think of it? Jun Shutong couldn’t help but look at Yingying again. In terms of intelligence, she has to belong to the fox clan.
She really didn't expect that she could think of cutting sugarcane into pieces and squeezing juice invented in later generations. She was so smart.
"That's a good idea. Once the steel is refined, let the dwarf masters make a machine for peeling and juicing."
Yingying's eyes lit up and she looked at her mistress with hope. It was just a sudden idea, but she didn't expect that the mistress would agree with her idea. This made her very happy.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Another half a year passed and the steel refining project was officially put on the agenda.
As the big boss behind the scenes, Jun Shutong pressed the start button at the suggestion of the Dwarf Master, and steelmaking officially began.
During this year, the countries led by the Holy See also dug up a lot of coal and iron mines, all of which were covered with oilcloth. Judging from their recent actions, they should be transporting them out of the Mystical Beast Forest.
"Miss, someone from the Vatican is coming. They should take action soon. Should we take the initiative?"
Jun Shutong tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a few seconds, and then slowly said:
