Old Muka happily went back with those special metals to help Holm change his outfit in an all-round way, while Chi Nan was even more depressed. The iron ingots that I had finally gotten at the risk of danger now seemed useless.

As long as you are more diligent in your own production, the metal used in front is enough to support. So what to do with these iron ingots? In the end, Chi Nan thought about it and simply rewarded those iron ingots to the meritorious soldiers and workers.

Of course, it can't be rewarded directly, Chi Nan first asked some blacksmiths with a little lower level to make them into iron pots and other items, waiting to be used as rewards. The surplus is made into farming tools for the farmers under his command who are planting saplings. In the future, they will also need to work on planting jujube trees and even other vegetable plants.

After giving orders for everything, Chi Nan continued to enter his own experiment. The updated pea cannon, Chi Nan doesn't have any ideas for the time being, but the pneumatic cannon can still be improved.

There is no way to reduce the recoil, and this Chi Nan is also helpless at the moment. But the way to load ammunition, Chi Nan has some eyebrows. As long as you can separate the ammo from the weapon, the duration of the battle can be increased a lot.

It's a pity that before Chi Nan researched anything, something happened in the territory again. "My lord, it's not good, it's not good. ”

On this day, the bald father, who had been busy in the territory, ran in. Chi Nan looked up and was surprised to find that Hemila had also arrived. Although Hermila has not been far away from herself, Hermila has too much work, so she usually doesn't run to her side. Pond South is right at the door of his room, or behind the castle.

These two places are basically about to become special places for experiments in Chinan. And Hemira is either in the castle correcting all kinds of papers, or running around for all kinds of things.

Unexpectedly, this time, the bald father actually called Hemira over. In that case, I'm afraid it's not a small matter.

"Something happened, why are you in such a hurry. Chi Nan asked instinctively.

The bald father pointed in one direction: "Lord Lord, it's not good, someone, someone stole ......"

"What stolen, is there anything else in the territory that is worth stealing? Hearing that it was stolen, Chi Nan was relieved a lot. In his own territory, there are really no treasures that he likes too much.

The bald old man gasped: "My lord, someone stole our saplings. ”

Saplings? It's actually a sapling, and Chi Nan finally reacted. The plants that I don't value very much seem to be very valuable, but they are still the key to the revival of Hongshaling at present, and someone actually stole the saplings.

"Let's go over and see what happened. Chi Nan was annoyed for a while, is it easy to do something for the territory, but someone actually came to make trouble. I don't know if it was a spy or someone who was bought.

The three of them, under the protection of several soldiers, soon came to the north side of the Red Sand Ridge. This place is already far away from Hongsha Town, and it is impossible for soldiers to patrol this place in normal times, so it is normal not to notice. When the group came here, Chi Nan saw several large pits on the ground.

"My lord, this is the place, it turns out that there are two tin trees and a jujube tree here, all of which have been stolen. "The land in this place has been improved to be planted with date trees.

Chi Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought silently in his heart. The noodle jujube tree is good to say, the noodle jujube tree inside Hongshaling does not touch the chassis wood underneath, and it is basically impossible to transplant it.

The jujube tree has high requirements for the environment, and it can only grow normally in this place after it is born. Once dug up, it is estimated that it will be planted in the same place, and it will be basically difficult for this jujube tree to grow. So even if they dig up the soil together, it is still impossible to plant successfully, and this Chinan is not too worried.

But the tin tree is different. The tin bark tree is self-fortified and can grow anywhere. Although with their own treatment, it is impossible for them to grow seeds, nor can they expand the scale of cultivation with other methods.

Even the tin bark tree itself grows very slowly, and it is impossible to provide a large area of tin bark. However, with the loss of two tin trees, the secret of the new metal cannot be kept after all.

"Do you know who made these things inside and out? ”

"We have already started to investigate, and if there are no accidents, we will soon know who did it. Hermila said.

Chi Nan nodded: "Finding out who did it is just a matter that is not important at the moment, what we need is to treat the root cause, not the symptoms." In this way, in the future, patrols will be strengthened near Hongsha Town. ”

Chi Nan frowned and said while thinking: "If the distance is farther away, don't plant indiscriminately in the future, let's first build a farm and plant iron trees inside the farm." After the land was improved, the area continued to be planted with jujube trees. For the time being, we will manage it in the way of a farm, and then we will talk about it later. ”

These things will eventually be completely let go, but not now, and now we can only use a little troublesome method first.

After doing all this, Chi Nan took the two of them back to Hongshaling. "In the future, the building of spiritual civilization in Hongshaling will be strengthened. ”

"What is the construction of spiritual civilization?" Hermila was surprised by the new term.

Chi Nan explained: "It is to strengthen ideological education and guide the spirit of the people. It's okay to gather them together and give them lessons, especially those workers and soldiers, and you can't let your mind rest when your body rests. ”

Explaining these problems to them was a bit complicated, and it was not easy for Chi Nan to get the two of them to understand. "Well, starting tomorrow, I will come for the first time, and then you will do the same. Cultivate some more clever and thoughtful people, and let them come to educate and counsel them in the future, so that we don't have to come by ourselves every time. ”

Chi Nan can only think of such a method now. I haven't done any of these things myself, but I haven't seen them yet. Every time I listen to the speeches of the leaders, I am shaky and sleepy, and I have already gone deep into the bone marrow.

Besides, this should be the first time this model has appeared in this world, so no one will know about it whether it is good or bad, and everyone will slowly improve it in the future. But first, you have to go back and prepare. For example, if you don't prepare a speech or something, you can't say it. That's right, that's it.

After a few people returned to the town, the army immediately began to be on alert, and Chi Nan began to prepare.
