No Big Problem
"All the demons of Heavenly Dew Mountain, come here."
Weiwei didn't stand on ceremony this time and directly beckoned the other demons to come to her.
She would definitely do what Su Mu asked her to do.
Originally, many demons were already overwhelmed by Weiwei's powerful aura and couldn't even lift their heads. Now, seeing her summons, the demons dared not be negligent and could only muster their courage to walk forward.
A moment later, Demon Race on Heavenly Dew Mountain arrived in front of Weiwei.
Weiwei carefully looked around to make sure all the Demon Race had arrived before nodding in satisfaction.
"I heard that the Emperor's decree arrived here yesterday. Do you intend to disobey?"
She glanced at these people and immediately asked without any politeness.
Her tone was naturally not very polite to these guys who wanted to disobey her orders.
However, she did get to be fortunate enough to encounter these guys; otherwise, she wouldn't have run into her own people when she came out.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Race present exchanged glances, their expressions changing slightly.
I had been holding onto a sliver of hope that this person wasn't sent by the Jiang Kingdom.
But the moment the other party spoke, they immediately realized that this was clearly a master sent by the Jiang Kingdom.
The demons were filled with fear.
We were discussing it yesterday, and how we would all work together to deal with the Jiang Kingdom.
Even if the other side sends countless Yin God Underworld Administration, they can still annihilate Yin God here.
Previously, I could be considered very confident.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Mountain Lord was pinned to the ground and killed in the blink of an eye.
The demons looked grim.
Weiwei glanced around, and not a single demon spoke.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but frown.
What, not going to say anything?
"Or do you intend to continue defying the Emperor's decree? If so, then I'll send you on your way today."
To be honest, the Mountain Spirit Clan don't really enjoy killing.
They preferred to help the Human Sovereign with things like regulating the weather.
However, if these guys threaten the emperor's rule, then she has no say in the matter.
You still have to take action.
Upon hearing this, the demons trembled, realizing they could no longer feign ignorance, and could only raise their heads helplessly.
"Senior, it's not that we're deliberately disobeying orders, but you need to understand that this place is our training ground. If we're asked to leave, where can we go?"
"In other places, there are also Demon Race occupying their own territories. That's the rule. If we change territories, are we supposed to go and seize the territories of other Demon Race? Wouldn't that just lead to a bloodbath?"
A little demon with deer antlers standing nearby said helplessly.
The more powerful a demon is, the larger the territory it occupies. This is similar to the dynasties of the Human Race.
The more powerful a dynasty was, the more likely its territory would be quite large.
The Demon Race race has an extremely strong sense of territory. If you rashly enter the territory of another Demon Race and do not submit, you will die.
For many Demon Race, submitting to other Demon Race is worse than death.
To surrender means that one's life and death are completely in the hands of others.
For many demons, engaging in direct combat would be even more unsuitable.
Since we're going to fight anyway, why not just fight the Jiang Kingdom instead of going after other Demon Race?
After all, the Jiang Kingdom wasn't considered too strong in their eyes.
Upon hearing this, Weiwei frowned slightly, glanced at these guys, and shook her head. "His Majesty said that the Jiang Kingdom is definitely going to be settled, and you can still continue your cultivation at Heavenly Dew Mountain."
"However, before they plunder passing merchants and civilians, this area may be used for mining, and you must not secretly obstruct it."
Upon hearing this, the demons exchanged glances.
They were somewhat puzzled; judging from the other party's expression, it seemed they were prepared to let them go.
Given their formidable strength, why resort to such underhanded tactics? If they wanted to take action, they could simply eliminate them all.
Thinking about it this way, the demons were even more puzzled.
Is this really true?
Compared to being directly killed by the other side, this condition is much more relaxed.
Weiwei glanced at the demons before her, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm the one who's letting you go today. But if any Demon Race from Heavenly Dew Mountain ever cause trouble or break the rules in the future, then I will consider it my responsibility."
"At that time, in order to apologize to the Emperor, I will slaughter the Demon Race of Heavenly Dew Mountain. I hope you understand."
Looking at the group of demons, Weiwei also had a bad feeling.
I don't want to let these guys get away with it, only for them to turn around and cause me trouble.
If that's the case, what will she do if the Emperor thinks she's handled things poorly?
"Please rest assured, senior, we will certainly not harm the Human Race in the slightest!"
Upon hearing Weiwei's words, the demons present breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that Weiwei could threaten him like that meant that the other party was taking a huge risk by letting him go.
If that's the case, then it must be true that the other party said they would let me go.
It's confirmed; these Demon Race can continue to stay here.
That way, they won't need to move.
After all, they've been here for who knows how many years, cultivating for so long.
If you really let them leave, how would they know where they should go?
After observing the Demon Race and confirming that they wouldn't cause any trouble, Weiwei nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
Yanhuai City.
Su Mu rubbed his temples, looking at the ore distribution map that Jiang Kingdom had now clearly identified, and felt somewhat speechless.
How come the mineral vein that Jiang Kingdom has clearly explored is only this small?
Feeling somewhat speechless, Su Mu shook her head after thinking for a moment.
Fine, we'll just split it up little by little.
Mining should continue, but manual mining is too slow; mechanical mining is necessary.
There are a few mineral veins here, all of them open-pit mines, which is fortunate, as it greatly reduces the difficulty of mining.
We'll buy a few more machines later, and then have some people familiarize themselves with their operation. That should be fine.
Su Mu looked at the mineral veins in various places and then began to ponder them.
In other words, the general level of education among ordinary people is not high. It would be great if the level of education among ordinary people could be improved.
In this way, many things from the other side of Earth can be brought over, and the people will know how to use them.
However, by gradually popularizing mechanical products and opening more factories, people will be able to understand some of the things involved as they come into contact with them.
The people in this world are not stupid.
It's just that I haven't been exposed to this related knowledge.
"Your Majesty, the foreign envoys have already left Yanhuai City today."
While Su Mu was still considering his next plan, a guard hurriedly entered and reported back.
"Oh? You went back?"
"Yes, they set off before dawn today; they were in quite a hurry."
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately reported back.
"Well, if they're leaving, they're leaving. It's alright."
Su Mu replied casually, his attention still focused on the data in front of him.
Based on the amount of iron smelted by the Jiang Kingdom two years ago, it was only 8,000 tons per year. 8,000 tons of iron smelted per year...
Su Mu couldn't help but cover her face when she saw the data in front of her.
This data is shockingly low.
In any case, the amount of iron smelted this year must increase several dozen times, right?
In addition, we need to build several more cement plants and open a few in each city; it shouldn't be a big problem.
