Otherworldly Lord

After Cyvans returned to the Governor's Mansion, he immediately summoned the blacksmiths to start making siege chisels.

Compared with the small workshops in Song Mo's territory, the steel production in the Northwest Province has formed a certain scale. The blacksmiths no longer fight on their own. The blacksmiths with the best skills have cooperated to build a large workshop, constantly compressing the labor of other blacksmiths. Living space forced them to abandon their small workshops and join the "collective".

Although the smelting technology of the combined blacksmiths is not as good as that of the dwarves, the quantity and quality of the products are not comparable to that of a clinking poor territory.With them, Governor Cyvans, who is rich and powerful, will naturally not be so stingy to replace iron arrows with wooden arrows, and there will be no such thing as casting arrows with only iron.

"Half a month, I want to see the finished product."

The blacksmiths dared not neglect the orders of the new governor.Even the officials who were ordered to supervise the construction were cautious and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.Pan Wei's accidental death and Sai Wansi's sudden rise to power made these officials left over from Pan Wei's era panic all day long.The influence of the Ladron family in the Northwest Province is intricate and cannot be underestimated.If you don't know a little bit more, you will be kicked out of your position sooner or later.

The salaries of officials in the Northwest Province are well known, and no one wants to cut their own money.

Therefore, after Cyvans took over as Governor, all the current officials have shown an unusually serious work attitude, as if to prove to Cyvans that no one can do better than them.And their focus on the new governor can be expressed in heaven and earth.

Cyvans said nothing about it, neither promised them nor dismissed them immediately.The experience in Greenland has taught Governor Sevans the ability to hide his emotions and anger. As long as the expressionless Governor takes a look, the officials below will start to feel a lot of pressure.

If Song Mo knew that he had caused such an influence on Sai Wansi, he didn't know how he would feel.

Maybe it was because I felt that my ransom was underpaid, and a large amount of training expenses was missed.

When the craftsmen started working in full swing, Mori had already left the Northwest Province with the food and supplies that Saivans had promised to Song Mo.Three carriages were filled with food and supplies, and a big maroon horse followed in the convoy.

This is the horse that Cyvans promised to give to Song Mo.

After Mori sent the supplies to Greenland, he didn't stay long, and left with Song Mo's only siege chisel.He is very important to Saivans now, as long as the deal between Song Mo and Saivans continues, not only will he not have to worry about losing his life, he will not even have to worry about getting promoted and getting rich.He understands that it is no longer Governor Cyvans who decides his own destiny, but the lord of Greenland, Song Mo Greenland.

Mori will never regret accepting Song Mo's gold coin.

After Mori left, Song Mo excitedly checked the food he sent, and when he found that the food was all wheat, not even corn, Song Mo started scratching his head.

The land in Greenland is not suitable for wheat growth, and it is difficult to increase the yield.

According to his plan, the population of Greenland will only increase, and by then, the food problem will definitely become a serious problem.If you want to keep people, you have to make them full?

The favorite thing for the working people who can't get enough to eat is to rise up in rebellion and start a revolution, and beat up local tyrants and divide their land.What's more, most of what Rhodes can get him are this kind of revolutionary fighters with advanced thinking and great hands-on ability.If Song Mo doesn't want to be knocked down as a local tyrant, he must find a way to make Gerryland rich as soon as possible.Then take these fighters to fight against other people's local tyrants and separate their fields!

Relying on food imports is by no means a long-term solution. If the relationship between the two parties collapses one day, the problem will be serious.

The only way to change this is to find high-yielding food crops suitable for growing in Greenland.Song Mo already has corn seeds, but not many.Besides, the first thing Song Mo thought of was potatoes.This stuff is easier to grow than corn and has a higher yield.

Where can I find it?Asked the goblins, they don't know, they haven't even seen it.

So Song Mo thought of Rhodes who was still left as a "guest" in the lord's mansion.

"If you can help me find something, the price of ore for future transactions will be increased by [-]%. I will also pay you gold coins per head for the people you send to Greenland. How about it, is this business good?"

Song Mo described it very beautifully, but Rhodes frowned when he heard it. After getting in touch with Song Mo a lot, the dwarves understood a truth. Doing business with robbers must be more careful.

"what?"

"A food.

"food?"

"Well, it grows in the ground. The leaves look like this, and when they grow up, they look like this... There are many ways to eat them. They can be roasted or boiled. This is how they taste after peeling off the skin..."

Song Mo said while drawing on the paper, and pushed it in front of Rhodes, "This is it."

After listening to Song Mo's description, Rhode picked up the painting and looked at it for a while, and his eyes gradually became strange when he looked at Song Mo.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Where did you know this?"

"What's so strange?"

"Only elves have this kind of crop. They call this crop potatoes." Rhodes pointed to the potatoes on the painting and said to Song Mo: "Elves occasionally use baked potatoes to trade with dwarves. They taste good and are very tasty." It is easy to eat. We tried to buy seeds from the elves to plant, but the elves never let go."

Rhodes paused, and then continued: "In order to find the seeds of this crop, several warriors ventured into the elf forest, but they were almost shot into hedgehogs by the elves."

Listening to Rhode's narration, such a picture appeared in Song Mo's mind: a few dwarves in full body armor with short hands and feet were rushing forward with axes on their shoulders, and a group of tall and long-legged elves were chasing after them, and the elves drew bows and shot arrows , Shouting: "Destroy you on behalf of the potato!".Arrows swished towards the dwarf, and after a while, the dwarf's back was full of arrows, like running hedgehogs...

All this is for potatoes!

Well, potatoes are mighty!

"We searched almost the entire continent, but found nothing. It turned out that we were looking in the wrong direction. They don't grow on trees, but grow underground."

on the tree?These dwarves actually thought of looking for potatoes in the trees?Simply genius.However, since there are potatoes here, what about sweet potatoes and taro?

Song Mo drew the appearance and plants of sweet potatoes and taro. Unfortunately, Rhodes had never seen these two crops.He had seen potato plants before.

"I can help you get the whole potato. The exchange is not what you proposed, but the correct way to grow this crop."

"En..." Song Mo knocked on the table, "If you can help me find one of these two crops," Song Mo pointed to sweet potatoes and potatoes, "I'll teach you, or I can get an extra five hundred gold coins Change."

"It's not fair!" Dwarf Rhodes jumped up.

"Don't tell me it's fair or not." Song Mo leaned on the back of the chair and crossed his long legs. "This is how business is done. There is no absolute fairness. Otherwise, how can you make money?"

"Aren't you afraid that I won't do this business if you do this?"

"Don't be afraid." Song Mo folded her arms around her chest with a smile, and raised her chin towards Rhodes. "At worst, I will send someone to find it myself. It's just a matter of time. And what about you?"

Rhodes was silent for a while, and Song Mo continued, "Think about it, as long as you know how to grow, you can have as much food as you can easily fill your stomach! Compared with letting the elves eat up, five hundred gold coins is nothing. What are you going to buy? Besides, as long as you find what I want, these gold coins will stay in your pocket safely."

Dwarfs have always been at odds with elves, and Song Mo knew this clearly.He was sure that Rhodes would agree to his conditions.

In the end, Rhodes nodded and reluctantly signed a new contract.Song Mo looked at the wet ink on the contract, whistled once, and smiled like a fox who had succeeded in plotting.

Two days later, Rhodes packed his bags, drove the carriage, and left the Lord's Mansion of Gerryland.

After Maury brought the siege chisel back to the Northwest Province, the blacksmiths had a more accurate reference, and they made the finished product before the deadline set by Cyvans.

Sevans sent the blueprint and the finished product to the capital without delay.He is sure that with this credit, he will definitely sit on the governor's seat more securely.

When Prime Minister Murphy got the news, he immediately went to the court to meet the king. Saivans was recommended by him to become the governor of the Northwest Province. Unexpectedly, he was given such a big surprise not long after he took office.

Compared to Murphy's joy, Hei Yan looked thoughtful after getting the blueprints for the siege.

Pan Wei, Cyvans, Catapult, Siege Dagger.

They are all Northwest provinces.

Did Cyvans get the blueprints left by Pan Wei, or did he give Pan Wei the blueprints in the first place, and Pan Wei took all the credit for the previous work?

Thinking about it this way, Pan Wei's death is very questionable.

However, there is another possibility, that is, these two blueprints are from another person... If there is such a person, then who is he?

Hei Yan sat on the throne, propped his chin with one hand, closed his eyes slightly, stroked the ruby ​​ring on his right index finger, and fell into deep thought.
