The sun and the moon have passed, and everything on Sean Island continues to develop steadily, except for the increasing shortage of clay mines.

Due to Sean's eagerness to improve the strength of Sean Island, the remaining three salt yuan fruits have all been used up, in exchange for two more silver swordsmen on Sean Island: York and the black iron swordsman who explored the uninhabited island together: Simon.

It's a pity that Taylor didn't break through to the platinum swordsman, according to Taylor's feedback, the salt yuan fruit did increase his fighting energy reserves, but it was far from meeting the conditions for breakthrough, and Taylor didn't want Sean and Nick to eat like crazy when he took the salt yuan fruit. Although the food consumption has increased significantly, there is no embarrassment of frenzied food grabbing.

Previously, the first fourteen members of the swordsman squad also successfully broke through to the Black Iron Swordsmen, and at present, there are a total of 20 professionals on Sean Island, 2 Golden Swordsmen, 3 Silver Swordsmen, and 15 Black Iron Swordsmen, and the strength has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the early days of the island.

Sean sat in the shade of a tree on the beach of the pier, looking out into the ocean beyond. During this time, the sea monster invasion he was expecting did not appear, which made him wonder if the identification information of Jie Yuanzhu was wrong, and he was eager to understand the strength of the sea monster invasion and the merit points brought by the desire to annihilate the sea monster.

Since it is not confirmed whether the Jieyuan Bead will affect the change in the strength of the sea monster invasion, Sean's plan to form a fleet is still on hold. Although the formation of a trade fleet can replenish the scarce materials and money on Sean Island, there is still a hidden danger in the dispersion of the island's strength until the sea monster's invasion strength is confirmed.

"My lord, the brewmaster you ordered has successfully brewed wheat wine, and has also distilled some liquor from the still you ordered, do you want to check it out?" Joyce walked towards Sean from a distance.

"Oh, so soon?" said Sean, leaping from the ground, the idea of brewing and distilling spirits finally materialized thanks to the abundant wheat harvest.

There is no difficulty in making wine, the brewing technology of the initial continent is relatively mature, and as for distilled spirits, due to the knowledge that Sean obtained in the Ministry of Agriculture in his previous life, it is not difficult to achieve. Distilled spirits are just one more distillation process than winemaking, and the most important thing is the still.

The principle of distillation is also very simple, due to the different volatility of the substances contained in the liquor, the relative content of each substance in the steam and the liquor is different during heat distillation. Alcohol is more volatile, so the concentration of alcohol in the steam produced after heating increases, while the alcohol concentration in the liquor decreases. The result is a high-altitude distilled spirit.

Sean's main purpose in making distilled spirits is the disinfectant effect of high-concentration alcohol, and as for drinking, because he has not studied alcohol deeply, he has a conservative opinion on the drinking value of distilled spirits. And he vaguely remembered a post analysis in his previous life: high-concentration liquor distilled without a perfect industrial system may not taste very good, or even inferior to undistilled liquor.

On the way to the initial collar, Sean did not forget to consult Joyce about the progress of the new round of reclamation, because the area of cultivation this time is 10,000 acres, Sean is a little worried about the progress of farming.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, since most of the lords of Sean Island have been engaged in farming, the progress of cultivation is very smooth, and it is expected that the cultivation will be completed in two days. I don't know how you can arrange the huge amount of manpower that will be released immediately, but the reserves of clay mines are getting smaller and smaller, and the production of cement may not be sustainable soon. ”

Sean rubbed his head and said with a headache: "First of all, according to Corey's suggestion, arrange for some of the people to polish the stones, and the remaining clay mines are all used to produce cement." ”

"As for the rest of the people, we can increase the development of the fishing industry and reduce the loss of food on the islands. In addition, the construction of the city wall is temporarily suspended, you inform Corey to arrange for some of the lords to cut down trees, and build a fence and watchtower around the island first, and you communicate with Corey about the specific construction matters. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

Sean felt that the construction of the walls of Sean Island was really tortuous, and there was no good progress so far. But the protection of the island was imminent, and he had no choice but to adopt a more backward way: a fence. Although it can't completely protect against the invasion of the sea monster, it can hinder it for a moment, giving the military forces of Sean Island a chance to react and reduce losses.

Seeing that the initial collar had appeared in front of him, Sean suddenly remembered something: "The commercial system of Sean Island should be established as soon as possible, and the lords should be encouraged to run some livelihood activities, and the castle can also open shops to enhance the vitality of the island lords." ”

"Rest assured, my lord, there is already a preliminary plan, and the commercial and monetary systems are taken into account, but it has been delayed due to the new round of farming. Joyce looked like a strategist.

......

"Is this wheat liquor and distilled spirits? Have you tried the difference?" Sean looked at the two bowls of the same liquor in front of him, and couldn't tell which one was wheat liquor and distilled spirits.

"Lord Hui, this bowl of wheat wine is no different from other wines, in addition, this bowl of distilled spirits made according to the stills and distillation methods you made, the distilled spirits are much stronger than wheat wine, but the taste is not very good. Winemaker Ryan said, pointing to the two bowls of wine in front of him.

I don't really care about the taste of distilled spirits, considering the loss of food, the trade of distilled spirits as a drink obviously outweighs the losses, but if the distilled spirits are used as a medicine to treat injuries, then this price is not ordinary.

Sean feels that he also has the quality of a profiteer, but the price of these things is naturally Joyce's involvement, he only needs to put forward this idea, and believes that Joyce's trade negotiation ability will not disappoint him.

Distilled spirits: distilled from wheat liquor, proof: 61, drinkable and sterilized. Note: Higher strength distilled spirits can be obtained by distillation in a more sophisticated still.

Sean looked at the information obtained by the identification system and nodded with satisfaction, although the disinfection effect of 61 degrees of distilled spirits is not as good as that of more advanced industrial alcohol, but in this low industrial system, it is far beyond his imagination to be able to distill 61 degrees of distilled spirits.

"Joyce, you make overall arrangements, wheat wine is produced and supplied to the people according to the production of grain, and as for distilled spirits, you can increase production, but you also need to consider the input of grain. Distilled spirits must be sealed in sealed pottery, or the effect will quickly wear off without disinfection. Sean pointed to the distilled spirit in front of him and said to Joyce.

"Disinfect, what do you mean by disinfection, my lord? Joyce looked puzzled.

"Wounds that are swabbed with distilled spirits can reduce the chance of pus. You can also include distilled spirits as one of the commodities traded, but the price must be high. Sean patiently explained.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that you will do as you are told. ”
