Under the control of Claire, those crops grew very steadily without any problems.

Finally, two minutes after arriving, the fruits of some crops also came out, and the leaves were turning yellow. In the season of sowing, this land had the feeling of autumn harvest.

After coming here for about two or three minutes, Rona slowly opened his eyes and nodded to Claire, "That's it."

At this time, the ground was also full of various fruits. If you got closer, you could smell the fruity aroma of some fruits. Claire also immediately stopped constructing the spell.

Looking at the fruitful fields, Claire's mood improved inexplicably.

"Let's go down and have a look." Claire said, and then jumped into the field first.

Rona followed closely, and Isaac jumped down without thinking too much. The remaining mages wanted to look forward but felt it was not good, so they could only stand on the field ridge and watched Claire and the three of them pass through the "orchard".

Claire After going down, he pulled out a peanut plant from the sole of his feet. There were many peanut fruits in the soil, and it didn't look like he was not adapted to the soil and water here.

"Give me one." Isaac reached out and took a few from Claire's hand, broke open the shell, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"She looks pretty good." Rona commented objectively.

"Yeah." Claire also nodded, "We can let some people grow peanuts later, and then build an oil pressing plant."

From behind, Claire led the two of them to continue walking forward. Sure enough, the experiment beforehand was correct. Several crops that Claire was originally optimistic about, such as tobacco and sugar beets, did not grow well here.

However, there are many alternatives. Sugar beets cannot grow here, but the sugar cane that Claire was previously optimistic about is growing well. Although tobacco cannot be grown, tea and cocoa trees are also growing well. The economic benefits of these two crops are also very good.

Claire, Azshara, and Rona toured the dozens of acres of land, and there was Rona, a half-"agricultural expert" who could sense the status of plants. All the crops inside are recorded in detail, and then selected and matched.

Hops are also very adaptable here. In this way, Claire doesn't have to go out to buy this raw material for brewing beer.

Next, Claire divided the crops into different planting proportions, so that there would be no such thing as before because everyone planted the same crop, resulting in involution and a lot of effort but no reward.

Claire The initial plan for Gilded Rose Town is to first build several related factories, such as a brewery for brewing beer, the peanut oil pressing plant mentioned earlier, a cocoa powder processing plant, a tea manufacturing plant, a sugar boiling plant for making white sugar, etc. If this is done, it will be difficult for Gilded Rose Town to develop.

After Claire finished writing, he gave the plan to Isaac for a look, and Isaac really gave some very useful suggestions because he stayed here for many days.

After that, Claire asked the mages to put the plowing machine that Isaac had made back into Nafu City, and asked the craftsmen inside to reproduce the machine. Based on the efficiency of those craftsmen, Claire estimates that these machines can be delivered to the residents here before tomorrow.

The next day, a long line of people lined up in front of Gilded Rose Town's Steward's Office. These were all residents who came to receive crop seeds.

The machines Claire had previously delivered to the town had also been transported to the town. The operation of the machines was not difficult. Isaac only taught them once before the residents could get started. Now the machines are running in the fields.

Next to the team collecting seeds at the door of Steward's Office, Claire and Regan were communicating.

"Is the factory under construction?" Claire asked.

"It's already under construction, Master." Regan replied, "Magic School in Nafu City is about to be completed. By then we will have more people, so the speed can be faster."

"Get the brewery out first, don't worry about the rest."

As long as the brewery has wheat and other grains, it can start brewing. The most indispensable thing in Gilded Rose Town now is grain, and Claire people have already been found, and construction can basically start as soon as it is completed. Of course, this brewery will definitely not only produce beer. In the future, it will also produce more alcoholic beverages and expand its scale to recruit more local residents into the brewery.

"Understood, Master."

"There are professionals from other factories. You can send people to find them first." Claire refers to the professionals from the sugar boiling factory and the oil pressing factory. These also require a certain level of technical content, and it is impossible for just one person to do it.

"In addition, just find a few key professionals. There is no need to bring in dozens of people like me." Claire ordered. The brewery could start work soon, and Kirk and the others happened to be in trouble, so Claire came to bring all the people back.

But if other factories are like this, how will labor positions be created, and all foreigners will be in the factories, which is not conducive to the employment and development of local residents. How can we attract the young population to Gilded Rose Town without development.

After Claire finished speaking, he looked at Isaac on the side and continued to ask, "Isaac, are all the machines in the brewery ready?"

Isaac looked away from the people in front who were receiving seeds, and then patted his chest confidently, "This is different from redesigning a machine. Those brewing machines already have prototypes and principles. I have already made the first-generation model, and Walker has done the rest of the improvements and improvements. It can be done in a day or two."

"The sowing machine has also been completed. It has been tested and the effect is pretty good. It has been manufactured by the blacksmiths in the North District."

"That's fine." Claire nodded, suddenly thinking of something.

"Regan, you just said that Magic School is almost completed, right?"

"That's right, young master." Regan responded, "Except for some finishing work, other work has been completed. It should be officially completed in two or three days."

This is not too fast, it took about twenty days to build, and there are some magic machines that Claire asked Isaac to build to help improve efficiency. If Claire hadn't demolished the city wall to expand the school later, the time could have been faster.

"Then Magic School's enrollment can almost begin." Claire murmured.

"Are we recruiting students?" Isaac asked excitedly, "Can I be a special guest lecturer?"

"It's the kind of teacher who teaches them when he has time. He doesn't have to go when he's busy."

"It's up to you, but I won't give you a salary as a teacher." Claire said with a smile. Considering Isaac's level, it would be no problem for him to become a teacher. In some aspects, he might be better than Victor and the others, and he would not do anything to mislead others.

"Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who is greedy for money?" Isaac said as if his trust had been betrayed.

Claire rolled his eyes at Isaac. You are indeed not the kind of person who is greedy for money, but someone who regards money as dirt. You simply don't spend your money as money.

Claire later found out that when Isaac built that plowing machine, it cost him tens of thousands Gold Coins. This was not the most important thing. After all, it was necessary to spend money to research things, and Claire wouldn't feel bad about that little money. But the important thing is that the subsequent results have nothing to do with the machines developed previously. If the last machine we got was not pretty good, Claire would have just taken off the dog head of Isaac.

"Master, then your Rank Promotion announcement was also released at this time, right?" Regan suggested.

Claire thought for a while and agreed, "It's a good idea, let's send it out together."
