After being forced to marry the Demon King, she usurped the throne by relying on the infrastructure

Chapter 40 40. Pencil
...

Graphite is what she saved from the materials rewarded by the system. If it is used to make pencils, at least 100 pencils can be made.

She asked Ruoshui to bring the workers of the paper mill and teach them pencil techniques.

She is not afraid of technology leaks, only she can provide graphite, and the demons can't find graphite yet, at least there is no natural graphite in the places that the system can scan.

Yin Jixue took advantage of the time waiting for others to memorize the method of making the simple version of the pencil in her heart.

If you don't consider the aesthetics, you only need to make a pencil lead, and then wrap it in animal skin to use it. The specific improvements are left to their free play.

Because it was at school, the craftsmen from the paper mill rushed over quickly.

At present, almost all operations in the city are closed except for the paper mill and the printing factory. I don't know how many demons in the city envy the paper mill for having jobs.

For these demons, busy work can make them feel safe, and once they are free, they feel that they have returned to the previous hard days.

Yin Jixue was also very helpless about this.The public opinion reported by the Metropolitan Procuratorate almost every day has everyone's willingness to resume work. Of course, she is reluctant to let the productivity stagnate.

However, the demons are precious labor force, and the demand for workers will only increase after the beginning of spring.

The weather outside is more than minus 50 degrees, and the temperature of the mine underground will only be lower.Not every demon has animal skins to wear. They can bear it if they stay outside for half a day, but they will definitely suffer severe frostbite when they go to the mine.

The medical conditions in Black Dragon City are so weak that there are almost no medicinal materials, and severe frostbite is very likely to cause disability.

Therefore, the blacksmith shop, paper making and printing factory in the city are very popular.

These three houses are all properties of the royal palace, and even if they want to recruit people, they must be approved by the queen.

That's all there is to graphite, and Yin Jixue didn't go to great lengths to recruit people to build a pencil factory.

The literacy class has come to an end for the time being, and some demons will withdraw from the military training after a while. There are so many demons in the city who need work, so we have to find something for them to do.

"This is how pencils are made. There are only these materials. You need to make them uniform in length and width. The material used to make each pencil is controlled at half a tael."

The craftsmen of the paper mill quickly wrote down: "Does Your Highness have any requirements for the shape?"

Yin Jixue waited for this sentence: "Using the pencil with bare hands after it is made will leave black marks on your hands. You should find a way to make it easy to write without dirtying your hands."

In the end, he gave a few more instructions, and the craftsman was sent away.

Yin Jixue propped her head to let go for a while, then stood up suddenly: "Why don't you go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and see how their land planning is going." It's not because they can't read the book.

Anyway, she couldn't read this book, she would rather go and correct the test papers.

However, the speed of the three teachers in the school is really fast. They finished correcting the test papers the next day after the test.Although she posed the question, it's a pity that I didn't see the answer paper.

What she didn't know was that because the answers to the test papers were a mess, several teachers sent them out after marking them, which was embarrassing.

Yin Jixue came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not long after the Demon King left.

Meng Qiu and Lin Zhong personally went out to receive, "You are here, what are your orders?"

Yin Jixue paused: "Is there any result in the land planning?"

I said earlier about the distribution of land, as long as the demons who want to farm can get it.

Nowadays, it is tacit understanding that scorched earth can be planted. Most of the demons want to grow food in their own plots.

"Already allocated." Meng Qiu pulled out a parchment scroll from the cabinet, which was a map of Black Dragon City.

"The circle outside the city is full of scorched earth, and the demons outside the city can all share the fields. We don't recommend planting the scorched earth scattered around the forest, as it will be harmed by monsters running out of the mountains."

Black Dragon City is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a plain in the middle. Black Dragon City is on the plain, like an isolated island in the sea.The low-level demons are also active in the plains, and the few kilometers outside the city have been cleared, almost all of which are scorched earth, with a clear boundary with the forest.

It can be said that in the entire demon clan, only the territory of the black dragon clan has so much scorched earth.Fortunately, the scorched earth did not spread and would not affect the water source.

Yin Jixue has hoarded countless crop seeds, all of which are rewards given to her by the system, and they are completely suitable for scorched earth, so they have to wait until spring to plant them.

At present, there are more than 2 demons who are willing to plant. There must not be enough fields, and there are not enough seeds.The opinion given by the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to allocate land according to the family, according to the head, and give priority to the demon people who do not have a fixed job.

Yin Jixue has no objection to this.

Lou Yan saw the military training scene at this time.

The sweet taro in the cafeteria outside the city gave him an illusion of kindness.

Lou Yan stopped in his tracks: "The animal skins they wear don't look like the monsters of our Black Dragon Clan."

Most of the monsters in the demon territory are different. If you see a lot of them, you can know where the monsters are just by looking at them.

Most of the animal skins on these demons come from the Winged Tiger Clan, and Lou Yan is most familiar with the Winged Tiger Clan who have a lot of money and money.

Zhongshang said slowly: "This is the animal skin we got from exchanging goods with foreign merchants. Her Royal Highness sent it here because of the hunting team's poor clothing."

Lou Yan was in a complicated mood, the more he knew, the more he couldn't see through this little wife.A mortal, but he cares more about the survival of the demon people than he does.

What does she want?
Seeing the Demon King's return, the faces of the demon citizens in the military training were filled with joy, but because Zamabu couldn't disobey the military order and move around, they could only watch the captain go to the Demon King's side.

"See the king! This subordinate is training a hunting team composed of demons!"

Lou Yan nodded: "How long have they been training?"

The captain told the truth and told the story of the first hunting.

He saw that there were many demons outside the city in the hunting team, and the two sides got along without any grievances.

"Good, keep training."

Lou Hao found that after returning this time, the whole Black Dragon City had nothing to do with him, or he was no longer needed.

On the way back to the palace, I met several demon people, and they stopped to salute.

Zhongshang introduced by his side: "They are craftsmen from the paper mill in the city."

Lou Yan: "What are you holding in your arms?"

Probably because they were too excited, the craftsmen looked at each other before one of them answered: "This is the graphite that the queen gave us to make pencils."

Zhongshang asked on behalf of the Demon King, "What is a pencil?"

The craftsman answered honestly.

Zhongshang looked at the Demon King: "There is such a thing, it will be more convenient to write in the future."

Lou Hao asked to see what graphite looks like.

The craftsman spread out the package and opened the box, which contained graphite blocks.

"Put it away." Lou Yan looked away, it was something he had never seen before, and there was no magic energy on it, so it shouldn't be from the demon clan.

In fact, the only mine that the demons are willing to mine is the magic crystal mine, and other mines are worthless to them.

Watching the craftsmen leave, Zhongshang pointed to the inn in front of him: "That is the inn where foreign merchants live, and it is the only inn in our Black Dragon City that is open."

Lou Yan thought about it for a while: "Is it that female demon named Qiu Ju?"

"Yes, you know her?"

Lou Yan replied slowly, "No, I know that her husband died of hunger and cold."

This topic is too heavy, Zhongshang did not speak again.

All the demons in the city knew how Qiu Ju's husband died.He went hunting because he couldn't bear hunger, and he froze to death outside the city.When it was discovered, it had already merged with the snow and could only be burned on the spot.And Qiu Ju was pregnant with the child and didn't even see the dead body for the last time.

Yin Jixue left the Metropolitan Procuratorate and walked back to the palace along the path, and ran into the demon king returning to the palace just as he was leaving the intersection.

　Here it comes, halfway through writing I thought about the title of the book, and after I finished thinking about it, I forgot where I wrote it.

　　That's right, I have always guaranteed my quality. After signing the contract, I basically keep updating. I have completed more than 200 million words of novels. It's just because it was removed from the shelves that everyone can't see it. I will always be there!
　　Thank you for your recommendation tickets. In the past two days, I have started to revise the chapters that have been published before, especially catching bugs. I often use my mobile phone to type words in the middle of the night.

　　By the way, what time do you want to see the update, I can adjust it.
