At this stage.
Apart from a few shops opened by freedmen, the Flower Town's workshops and shops basically had to be opened by Liszt. In any case, there were not many freedmen. Liszt did not mind monopolizing all the industries in the Flower Town. After all, this was his territory.
If he said to build a workshop, then the workshop could be built.
But Gort had doubts: "Sir, the soap workshop can be handed over to Burnell, the wine workshop can be handed over to Franck, Berding, and Huntela, the hoop shop has many hoop craftsmen … What does the peanut processing workshop do, and who do I need to hand it over to?"
"It is to simply process the harvested peanuts. The peanuts can be boiled together with the shell, stir-fried, and sold separately. The peanuts can be sold separately, or made into peanut butter. Perhaps some unique peanut flavors can also be developed. In short, ordinary peanuts have to be made into delicious peanuts. Just like how ordinary bread has to be made into pineapple buns. "
"Who will make the delicious peanuts?"
"Among the serfs I bought, there are some who have served as cooks in foreign castles. My castle does not need so many cooks for the time being, so let these people study how to make delicious peanuts … Remember this, Adviser Gort."
"Please speak."
"The price of the agricultural products produced in the Flower Town is very low and does not have the value to be traded. But after we process them, they can be sold at a good price. We can even buy agricultural products from outside and process them. I hope that the Flower Town can become a processing center for agricultural products. "
There were no words like 'initial processing' in the Serpentines.
Liszt could use the Serpentines to form a word with a similar meaning, and then give a little explanation.
Gort could understand: "This is the same as Tulip Castle rarely selling the whole Tulip magic ingredient, but rather making the Tulip magic ingredient into a finished magic ingredient, and then selling it, right?"
"You understand correctly."
"Then I will arrange it now."
After Gort left, Liszt also quickly left the castle.
He hurried to the thorns worm stalk thicket to look for fast-growing wood thorns. Standing in the thicket, as far as the eye could see, other than the thorny thicket, there was only a barren slope in the distance. The fast-growing poisonous brambles and the fast-growing thorny brambles were separated by people, each occupying a large area.
"My Lord!"
The two worm protection team members guarding the thorns worm's worm stalk hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. He was a serf from the dairy farm. Due to his strong physique, he was selected by Röhm as a worm protection team member and received a well-paid part-time job.
Liszt asked, "Did you find any unusual thorns when you were stationed in this bush?"
He specifically asked Luomu to instruct the insect protection team here to pay more attention to the growth of the thorns and immediately report any special thorns.
The team member hesitated for a moment: "Sir Lord, I don't know if those are unusual thorns."
"Oh, what's the situation?"
"There was a patch of thorns, they became … became very thick."
"Very thick? Take me there. "
The insect protection team member quickly brought Liszt to a patch of thick thorns.
The color and spikes of the thorns here were just ordinary thorns, but each one was about twice as thick as the average thorns. This was clearly different, and the insect protection team member didn't even know if it was unusual, let alone report it. He was simply a pig with a brain.
Of course.
Commoners indeed had limited IQ. Liszt expressed his understanding and said, "Cut off these thorns."
The insect protection team did not have any iron equipment, only relatively cheap bone weapons.
They hurriedly pulled out their bone knives and slashed at the thorns. Small shrubs like thorns were not difficult to cut down, not to mention they were still in their infancy. The insect protection team member was full of confidence, thinking that he could cut off the thorns with a single slash and perform heroically in front of the Sir Lord.
However, the awkward thing was that when the bone knife hit the thorns trunk, it made a crisp "bang" sound and bounced off, leaving only a very shallow mark.
"Eh."
The two insect protection team members were a little flustered, waving their bone knives again and slashing vigorously. But every time they slashed at the thorns trunk, they could only leave shallow marks. After a dozen slashes in a row, they could not cut out a crack the width of a thumb. On the contrary, their bone knives had already collapsed.
It was about to break.
"Stop, Thomas. Hand them my Knight Sword and let them cut with the Knight Sword." Liszt's eyes lit up. He roughly understood what kind of mutation the fast-growing wood thorns were.
He took the Knight Sword.
The insect protection team member continued to slash, but still could not cut it quickly. Fortunately, the Knight Sword was made of fine steel and was very hard. Relying on constant slashing and grinding bit by bit, they finally cut off the thorns that were as thick as a wrist. Then he chopped off the small branches and chopped them into a bare thorny pole.
Panting, they handed it to Liszt.
Holding the thorny pole in his hand, Liszt could feel the weight of this wooden pole.
"Very heavy, very strong, and very hard. If I'm not mistaken, its wood mutation is likely to be in the direction of 'ironwood'."
Ironwood, as the name suggests, was wood as hard as steel. Many woods on Earth were known as ironwood. Like iron birch, clam wood, nanmu, and so on, they were even harder than steel. They sank in water, and insects and even nails couldn't penetrate them. Many ships, vehicles, special buildings, and even aerospace parts used ironwood as a material.
The current fast-growing wood thorns were not up to the standard of ironwood.
However, its "fast-growing" characteristic determined its value. Even if it was not up to the standard of ironwood, it was still far better than ordinary wood, and was better than steel.
"According to this quality, the fast-growing wood thorns are simply steel that can grow by itself!"
It was not that there were no ironwood quality trees in the Thorns Ridge, such as Rock Wood, Stone Wood, and so on. However, their number was very small, and their growth was slow. It would take hundreds of years for them to mature.
The value of fast-growing wood thorns that could mature in a short period of time was so great that even Liszt found it hard to imagine it.
"The previous mutation of poison and thorns is simply incomparable to the current ironwood! This is the treasure of the thorns, my thorns sprite worm. Good job, I'll give you an extra meal tonight, eat as much jade powder as you want! " This was the reward of the thorns sprite worm's chain mission, which was affected by the thorns sprite worm's worm stalk.
He increasingly felt that there was a chance of success for the thorns sprite worm to evolve into a thorns lesser sprite.
"I've decided!"
His mood surged, and he could no longer hold back his thoughts: "I'll plant fast-growing wood thorns in the 180 mu of shrubbery directly affected by the thorns sprite worm stalk!"
Ordinary fast-growing thorns, fast-growing poisonous thorns, and fast-growing thorny thorns should either be transplanted elsewhere or cut down.
They shouldn't occupy the influence of the thorns sprite worm stalk.
Blackdragon galloped.
It returned to the castle like the wind.
He immediately planned to call the newly appointed administrative officer, Isaiah, to replan the thorns sprite worm stalk shrubs. However, after his brain calmed down, he immediately thought of a key problem: "The thorns sprite worm is still accumulating the power to evolve, and the chain mission is not over yet. There should still be room for the fast-growing thorns to mutate."
It would be very difficult to produce new mutations if he cut down ordinary fast-growing thorns.
