Chapter 19: There Is a Shortage of People Everywhere

Iron ore is so important that it cannot be slowed down by a few other things, and if it weren't for the lack of funds, Shelley would even want to synchronize the mining of iron ore with several other things. After another night of barely sleepless struggle, Shelley wrote a plan for the iron ore mining with ten sheepskins.

"People need to be trained, money needs to be raised, and you can't rush it any faster."

Recognizing the current situation, Shelley locked the plan in her safe, which was originally used to store the jewelry and treasures that Shelley brought back from the royal capital before, but those things were now for Shelley to take to Molly to exchange money in the central city of the border state.

What is now in this place are the various projects that Shelley has conceived for the development of the town of Wule these days.

If each item is taken out and seen by a smarter person, it will cause a market change, and if it happens that this smart person is still an unscrupulous person, it may even set off a resource war.

Therefore, in addition to herself, there are also three members of the Super Knights who are now in her room.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you tell us about such an important matter......

Nika looked puzzled, and the young Momo couldn't understand. In their opinion, this kind of thing, as long as the princess knows about it, is it? Isn't it dangerous for one more person to know?

However, Owen understood what she meant: "Her Royal Highness the princess wants us to remember that if something happens, we must be aware of the importance of this safe. ”

Shelley nodded with satisfaction: "Owen is right, your Cavaliers have three top priorities, the first is definitely me, the second is the people who have been recruited by me to learn these skills, and the third is this safe." I can tell you for sure that in the future all of us will be jealous of what we have, so you must make sure that all three are safe, especially this safe, and if necessary, you would rather destroy it than let it out. ”

"Yes! Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open for no reason, and Owen immediately turned into a steel state, only to see that it was Onetooth who had returned. He breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his abilities.

"Your Royal Highness, I think it is necessary for you to teach it to knock on the door, especially when entering and exiting your room, otherwise it is easy to misunderstand."

Shelley stretched out his hand and ran the hair on its back and said, "There is no need to be so surprised, it is the only one who can do it anyway." Just know it in your hearts. ”

"Whew!" Onetooth held his head high at Owen, as if he was showing that he was special.

"Anyway, where did you go to eat? Didn't come back until now? "I've only seen it since Shelley came back yesterday, and because I probably knew it was out foraging, so Shelley didn't worry too much about it, and it ended up going for one night.

"Woo~~" Onetooth stared at Shelley obediently with a pair of golden eyes, which seemed to mean that he had obeyed the rules she had set.

"Well, as long as you comply with my request, you can go crazy outside."

At this time, Shelley felt that his eyes were a little astringent, and subconsciously rubbed them. This action fell in the eyes of the three people, and their hearts suddenly twitched.

Nika said with concern: "Your Royal Highness, why don't you rest well first, and then wake up about something." ”

Owen and Momo nodded in agreement.

Shelley waved his hand and said, "I'll naturally have a good rest, but only after things are arranged." Nika, you were asked to survey the terrain yesterday, how is it now? ”

The development of agriculture is the top priority at the moment, and because of Nika's ability, this matter is being accelerated.

The seeds of various plants brought back from the border forest this time need to be settled in Wule Town as quickly and efficiently as possible, and they must not be sown everywhere and watered by the sky like these people are doing now.

To this end, Shelley taught Nika about the soil conditions needed for each crop, and asked her to find suitable land near the town of Wule. Yesterday, Nika was running around about this matter, but unfortunately, the results were not too good.

"According to the request of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I have surveyed the vicinity of Wule Town, and there are no several kinds of soil you said, and when I look for it, it is all very hard soil."

This was expected by Shelley, after all, she had observed all the way when she set off to the border forest, and after Nika's careful investigation, she was only more sure of this.

"What about the water source? How many places did you find? ”

"There are quite a few of them, and within five kilometers alone, I have found three large lakes, all of which should be sourceless lakes according to you. One of the lakes forks off from a small river that is now used for water in our town. ”

"Are there any signs of biological activity in these three lakes?"

"I've checked it, and I've seen a lot of fish swimming."

Shelley nodded, then there would be no problem.

Where in this world is there a sourceless lake, it's just a term that Shelley made up blindly because he didn't bother to explain. It means that there is no source of water in the lake, and it generally refers to a lake surrounded by land.

However, Shelley knew very well that since there were aquatic creatures in this lake, it meant that there must be a source, but people could not see it, and there must be an underground undercurrent in these lakes that could lead somewhere. It's just that this kind of thing is not something they need to care about, so there is no need to explain it.

If there is a biological survival that proves that it is not stagnant water, then the water quality is not much worse. As long as there is water, it can solve the problem of soil quality.

Whether it is a paddy field for rice planting or a loose soil for rape flowers, it is inseparable from water, and water is needed for irrigation afterwards.

"Hmm...... The problem is that turning over the soil, cultivating fields, and expanding the canal all require a large number of people, and there are not enough people in the town. I can't help this, I can only slow down a little bit, and then take the next step after doing one step. ”

After thinking about this, Shelley handed a dozen thick sheepskins to Nika, "The matter of the land will be resolved sometimes, but before that, you must learn these things, if you don't understand, you can ask me." ”

"This is ......"

"The basic principles of genetic improvement of plants and the precautions for the cultivation of various plants. You're going to have to keep adding seeds for plants that don't need to be improved, and the rest of the time you're going to look good at this. As he spoke, Shelley became serious, "These documents are very important, and they must not be seen by a second person." ”

Nika tightened her hands: "Yes, Your Highness Princess." ”

"Momo, in the next period of time, the eggs of the leaf worms brought back should also be about to hatch, your task is to help me observe them well, and tell me as soon as there are any new changes."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

Unlike other crops, the mulberry tree, as a tree, does not require that much land for planting, so as soon as he returned, Shelley asked Nika to grow a mulberry tree at the back of the house, of course, using the seeds of the ancient mulberry.

Trees have a characteristic that they can theoretically grow indefinitely under the premise of ensuring that the nutrient environment is excellent, and Shelley thought that a 1,000-year-old mulberry tree could be directly born through Nika's ability. But after practice, she proved by counting the growth rings, and she reluctantly found that Nika could only give birth to trees that were 17 years old as her own age at most, as for the principle...... If you can understand, there are ghosts.
