The main thing is that there are more women.

The reason is very simple, those young people in Taoyuan Valley finally couldn't hold back, and they went out of the mountain one by one to find their daughter-in-law.

Fang Xiaoyue was not there at the time, and when he came back, he didn't know that these guys had gone out, and he almost didn't make him angry.

But when those young men came back, they really brought back their daughters-in-law.

As soon as I asked, the reason was simple.

As long as there is food these days, it is too easy to find a daughter-in-law.

When these young men go out, they bring a lot of food with them.

What baked potatoes wrapped in plantain leaves, what large cooking cakes, what honey water, etc.

These silly boys were really stupid, and when they went to other villages, when they saw the girls, they asked, "Will you go with me and be my daughter-in-law?" Then he took out the food and sold it.

Poor after the county lord scraped again, Subei County became more and more poor, those girls can have enough to eat, let alone be a daughter-in-law, even if they go to the little red boat to sell themselves, they are willing.

So he went out ten young people, and brought back fifteen daughters-in-law.

Well, of course, the five extra daughters-in-law were found by those bachelors in Taoyuan Valley.

Therefore, Fang Xiaoyue did not hold weddings for them one by one, and simply held a group wedding that exceeded the torrent of the times.

This kind of thing was something they would never agree to before, but in Taoyuan Valley, a place where the system is close to a primitive social family, no one objected.

As a result, it was out of control, and every once in a while, a young man went out of the mountain to find his daughter-in-law under the pretense of buying salt and cloth.

In more than a year, the population of Taoyuan Valley has rapidly risen to 1,000 people!

In addition to many of them are new daughters-in-law, some are milk babies who have just landed.

In short, this Taoyuan Valley has a new atmosphere now.

After taking a group of young men who were reluctant to be beautiful and beautiful at home, and dug up a large pile of ore and transported it back, Fang Xiaoyue began to borrow a small blast furnace to smelt cold iron.

To say that this cold iron is difficult to smelt, according to the previous steel-making method, put in ore, limestone, coking coal, etc., after burning for four hours, poke your eyes to see that the cold iron ore is only warm, not melted.

Obviously, the temperature generated here is not enough to melt the ore.

In desperation, Fang Xiaoyue used a big killer and made two large bellows, which were pulled by several strong men in turn, and quickly poured air into the small blast furnace to increase the furnace temperature.

At the same time, he also made changes in the materials used to make iron.

For example, the coke is broken into small pieces, the amount of coke is increased to increase the combustion rate and total heat, and some pig iron is also put into the small blast furnace to speed up the reaction.

In short, this time, after two full days of refining, there was finally a reaction in the small blast furnace.

When the cold molten iron is poured into the grooves, it turns into thin bars of fiery red iron.

Fang Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this cold iron seems to have one more word, but in fact, its refining method is not much different from iron, but the consumption is too great.

Just like that, a furnace of cold iron is smelted, and the coke, pig iron, limestone and other things consumed can be used to refine a lot of kitchen knives and hoes.

You must know that the iron products produced in Taoyuan Valley are already trading stars in the black market of Suhua County.

Good quality, durable, not easy to rust, etc., this fame has spread and can be described as a household name.

If it weren't for the lack of a blacksmith shop to make these farm tools, I am afraid that many famous merchants would have crowded the Taoyuan Valley.

Han Tie, who had turned into a thin iron bar, finally revealed his details to Fang Xiaoyue.

----------

Lost Chill Iron: After losing Chill, this chill iron is no longer able to deal any special damage to Spirit creatures.

----------

Well...... After seeing the information, Fang Xiaoyue was a little stunned.

This thing was scrapped after it was refined?

This is not an outcome that he is willing to accept.

However, as a fitter, a young man, and a science enthusiast from the modern world, he still came up with some ways to restore the coldness of this cold iron.

For example, these thin iron bars are taken to a snow-capped mountain and buried in the freezing ice.

Not to mention, this method really has some effect.

It's more time-consuming.

Fang Xiaoyue predicts that it will take at least 2 months for Hantie to fully recover.

And just when he was about to make a pair of gloves out of cold iron, Peng Xianguo began to promote potatoes in the territory of the former Pinggui Kingdom, which naturally included Subei County.

When this news reached Fang Xiaoyue's ears, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It is not surprising for him to say that this potato thing has spread, but it is still a little unexpected for him to attach such importance to Peng Xianguo.

This plane seems to be about to change?

At this point, Fang Xiaoyue had some guesses.

After all, the potato artifact had done a lot of miracles in his world.

For example, a large country with a population of more than 200 million relied on potatoes to support the food system of the entire country, and a certain dynasty relied on potatoes to rapidly grow its population to 400 million, thus realizing a prosperous potato dynasty, and so on.

And in this plane, the key point of the war is that the common people do not have enough to eat, those careerists have to expand outward in order to expand their territory, and the common people have to expand outward in order to have enough to eat.

To put it bluntly, whoever has food will have strength in this plane.

To say that Fang Xiaoyue was reluctant to meddle in, he felt that Taoyuan Valley was very good.

It's okay to practice boxing, meditate, hit the iron by the way, and make something.

Two months later, he took out the cold iron from the top of the snowy mountain, and found that the cold in the cold iron had recovered, and then he knew the true information of the cold iron.

----------

Cold Iron: This is a material from the fantasy world, which is usually produced 600 meters below the surface of the fantasy world, but can also be produced in some planes that are on the verge of promotion. Cold Iron has a special damage effect on spirit creatures, and due to its fantasy properties, when it is made into weapons and armor, it can only be done at low temperatures, and it needs to consume a certain amount of fate points for finalization.

----------

Has a special damage effect on spirit-like creatures?

Fang Xiaoyue nodded, it was worthy of being busy for so long and spending so much effort, just this point, the value of cold iron was much higher than that of other alloys.

Since the information mentions the manufacture of weapons, armor can only be done at low temperatures.

After Fang Xiaoyue dug out all the cold iron bars, he didn't return to Taoyuan Valley, he took out the mechanical converter on the top of the snowy mountain, converted some tools, and got busy on the cold snow.

To put it simply, the whole process is to continuously stretch the cold iron bar with a tool, stretch it into a flat thin iron wire, and then clamp the thin iron wire into small segments, and then use small sections of cold iron to hook each other, and finally make a glove.
