In addition to asking her to take good care of herself, the letter also said that many families in the kingdom already knew that she was digging in the coal mine.
Some people even openly asked what coal was and what it was used for.
Jun Shutong put the letter away and said coldly:
"Oh, they're really quick. They'll know soon that I took the orcs into the space."
"Miss, why not get rid of all of this now to prevent future troubles?"
"No rush, they are still useful."
——
Winter has passed and spring has come. It is already April. After all the snow has melted, new buds have poked their heads out.
This year's spring came later than in previous years.
The people of the Kunda tribe are still working in the space. With their joining in the past two months, productivity has indeed increased a lot, and accordingly, more food is consumed.
All in all, the income just offsets the expenditure. The only profit is the reclaimed wasteland and the grain that can be harvested in the future.
Coal mining work is still carried out in an orderly manner. No matter it is windy, rainy, or sunny and thundering, the coal mining work has never stopped.
In just a few months, the coal shipped out had piled up into several small hills.
Jun Shutong ordered his men to remove the oilcloth, and the next moment, several coal mountains disappeared from their original locations.
In the space, two bear cubs went into the coal mountain to play, and when they came out, they were two black coal balls, and their white fur had all turned black.
Jun Shutong couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he picked up one black coal ball in each hand and threw them into the stream.
No matter how they splash in the water, they are not allowed to get up until they are washed clean.
The water level of the stream has risen a lot during this period, and it is about to turn into a river. Jun Shutong is worried about the overflowing stream water. It is time to widen the river.
So, in the following days, the people working were divided into two groups, one group cultivated the land, and the other group widened the river. In short, except for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, no one was idle.
Several meditating mysterious beasts were still in a trance and showed no signs of waking up.
If Jun Shutong had not personally tested their breath and found that they were still alive, he would have thought they were corpses.
It was the first time she knew that a mysterious beast could go without food, water, or even open its eyes for several months during its training.
I just don't know what they will look like when they wake up.
In the past two months, Jun Shutong clearly felt that the spiritual energy in the space was becoming more and more dense. She asked Xia Xue if she had felt the changes in the space?
The girl just said that the air was a lot fresher, but she didn't feel any other changes. It seems that it is difficult for ordinary people to detect the existence of spiritual energy.
At this time, no one noticed the place where several mysterious beasts were meditating. Spiritual energy poured in madly, and soon penetrated into their bodies and disappeared.
The coal mining work has been on track for a long time, and it is time to arrange the mining of silver mines.
Jun Shutong called Jones and the final result was the same as before, that is, he would lead the tribe to survey the route and draw a map.
The remuneration was not much different from before. After the silver ore was refined, one pound of pure silver was paid to the other party every month, except that the original Amethyst Peak Royal Honey was changed to various grains.
Jones also knew that there were only two tribesmen who could take the Amethyst Peak Royal Honey, and the rest were not qualified to take it.
Amethyst Peak Royal Honey is a good thing, but if it cannot be used, it would be more cost-effective to exchange it for food that can sustain life.
Five days later, Jones came to Jun Shutong with a map, which had already been surveyed.
Unfolding the map, this silver mine was more than twice as large as the previous coal mine route.
Although there seem to be a lot of them, the silver mines are actually not concentrated, and many routes that run through them are difficult to clear.
Jun Shutong picked up the map and put it down again and again, repeating this several times. Finally, she made a decision that no one expected.
"We won't dig this silver mine for now."
"ah?"
"Why not dig? Even though the terrain is a bit complicated, there are ways to dig. The worst that can be done is just a little more time."
Jones didn't understand. In order to draw this map, it mobilized two thousand tribesmen. Now they said they would not dig anymore. Does the previous agreement still count?
"Don't worry, it's not that we won't dig, but we're putting it on hold for now. The map you drew is very valuable. I'll keep it and use it later."
Jones didn't interrupt, but stared at Jun Shutong with his small eyes, waiting to see what explanation she could give.
"Silver mines are very precious to me, and they are also very precious to your people."
"I've calculated carefully that if you want to make a profit from silver mining, you'll have to mine it for one to two years. Purifying it is an even more complicated process. Then, casting the pure silver, opening up the market, and expanding sales channels will take another year."
"It takes too long, and I won't make any profit during this period. By then, even food and shelter for the workers will be a problem."
"So, I want to mine iron ore first. I'm sure you know the many benefits of iron ore without me having to explain it to you."
Seeing that Jun Shutong was determined not to dig for silver, Jones became anxious: "But if we don't dig for silver, when can we get the pure silver you mentioned?"
Jun Shutong handed him a piece of watermelon, signaling him to be patient and listen to her continue.
"You may not know this, but with the iron ore, I can build a lot of large-scale machinery you've never seen before. Wouldn't it be faster and more time-saving to use these machines to mine silver?"
"What kind of large machine are you talking about? I've never heard of it."
"Don't worry. I'll show you the blueprints when the time comes. They are products from thousands of years ago and don't exist in this world today."
