Isaac They were busy with the Heat in Gilded Rose Town, and they had already become one with the people, and began to build a rough first-generation machine.
However, the effect was not very satisfactory, but they didn't care. Instead, they had a lot of fun under the leadership of Isaac. They plowed the land of Minotaur Iron Hammer into many potholes of different sizes. It was inevitable that the first-generation machine would have problems.
However, after playing crazy, Isaac and the others quickly came up with a second-generation machine, and the effect was much more stable than the first-generation machine.
And Claire was not idle in his study. He dragged his chin and looked at the pile of information in front of him. He kept tapping his fingers on the table, and the rhythmic tapping sound echoed in the room.
"This is the south. Cotton ripens once a year here, so it is not suitable for large-scale planting." Claire said, pulling out a piece of information about cotton in front of him and putting it aside.
Then he turned his attention to other papers and continued to murmur, "Sugar cane is good. You can squeeze out the juice and refine it into sugar. The profit has doubled several times."
Claire put his finger on the information paper in front again and continued, "These rare and precious fruits are also acceptable, and they are close to Nafu City, so there is no need for storage and transportation costs."
"There are also hobby crops such as tea and cocoa fruits. As long as they are processed on site and then sold, the price and profit can be directly increased several times. This means there is no need to worry about Gilded Rose Town's income being insufficient."
The way Claire came up with was to diversify the crops in the town. In the past, the residents of the town grew food crops such as wheat, barley, corn, and soybeans. Although these food crops were urgently needed, there were many people growing them, not just farmers from other territories. There was no shortage of food in the market. On the contrary, the more they planted, the lower the price would be.
Of course, we can't blame them. After all, before Claire came here, the farmers here only grew food crops, and the varieties could not survive at all. They had long been forced to death by those high taxes. Planting food can also leave some food for yourself after collection to survive the harvest season.
Now, after Claire discovered the problem, he wanted them to switch to planting cash crops, such as the fruits and sugar cane just mentioned by Claire. As long as these cash crops are processed, the price will rise exponentially. The factory can be set up in the town, and the profits can be kept in the town, allowing them to form their own economic system.
As long as the town's income increases, the town's various infrastructure will naturally develop. Those adults who go out to work will also come back to Gilded Rose Town. If they can earn enough money at home, who would be willing to go out to work? Not just those who are originally residents of the town, but even people from other places may be attracted.
Regan is now in Hill City. Claire also sent people over and asked him to bring back the seeds of those crops when he came back. Claire told him to buy all the seeds of cash crops on the market. It doesn't cost much anyway. After buying them, put them in the ground and experiment to know which one is the most suitable.
The experiment does not take long. There is Rona and Half-elf. You can see the growth process of the crop in a few minutes by using Elven Magic. You can tell whether it is suitable or not at a glance.
After selecting the crops, it's time to build a factory in the town. The previous planting was all preparation work, and building the factory is the top priority of this work. Tea is made into tea leaves, and cocoa beans are turned into coffee powder. Only after completing this step can all the profits be left in the town. Otherwise, if you grow cash crops and sell them to others, you are still working for others.
After selecting all the economic crops suitable for planting in Gilded Rose Town, Claire stretched out his fingers and tapped hard on a piece of paper in the center in front of him.
"Hops, you must grow them!"
Alcoholic beverages are a big seller of consumer goods no matter where they are. Even the pubs in Nafu City consume a large amount of beer and other alcoholic drinks every day. There is no shortage of market for alcoholic beverages. In terms of profit, Claire cannot let go of this piece of meat no matter what.
Moreover, the raw materials required for brewing beer and other alcoholic beverages are grain crops, barley, wheat, rice starch, etc. Gilded Rose Town cannot all switch to growing cash crops.
The main crops grown are still grain crops, but usually these grains are turned into alcoholic beverages, and then food is purchased from the outside world. Therefore, even if there is a food crisis later, the brewing of wine can be interrupted. Gilded Rose Town is still a granary that can provide a large amount of food.
Brewing alcoholic drinks can turn these original food crops into a high-value commodity, and Gilded Rose Town can profit from it. This was what Claire had in mind at the beginning. As for the other cash crops, it was just to make Gilded Rose Town's crops more diversified and avoid being monotonous and turning into the involution mode again. More efforts were made but the harvest was not as much as before.
After a period of revision, Claire finalized the preliminary development plan of Gilded Rose Town.
"Rona." Claire skillfully pushed open the door of the hospital and walked straight in.
Rona rarely played with Eve in the backyard. Instead, he was grinding herbs in the front yard. When he saw Claire coming in, he raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huh? Claire glanced at the herbal medicine in Rona's hand, and an idea flashed through his mind. Well, it would be good to have some herbal medicine in Gilded Rose Town. There are many doctors in this world who rely on herbal medicine to treat diseases.
After shaking his head, Claire threw this idea out of his head. Have you gone crazy thinking about Gilded Rose Town? I am not here to find crops.
"I'm going out for a while, will you come with me?"
"Where are you going? Gilded Rose Town?" Rona's tone was slightly interested.
"No, there's no rush to go." Claire smiled, "But it's also related to it."
Rona stopped grinding the stone pestle in his hand and asked, "Is there a solution to it?"
"Right."
"Then wait for me." Rona began to pack up the stone mortar and poured out the ointment inside.
"Don't you want to ask where you are going?" Claire asked.
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Rona quickly finished dealing with the pharmaceutical tools. After she went to Gilded Rose Town with Claire, after experiencing this incident, she began to be curious about this matter and wanted to see how Claire solved it.
After patting his hands covered with medicinal powder, Rona said to Claire, "I'm ready!"
Claire: "I didn't say I'm going now. I won't leave until tomorrow morning. I'll let you know when I come over."
Rona looked back at the cleaned stone mortar and other pharmaceutical tools, and then looked back at Claire's eyes for several seconds.
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't ask me, either? You didn't even ask me where I was going." Claire showed a teasing smile, "And you said, 'Why do you ask so many questions?'"
Rona: "..."
This is like a farming novel...
