Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 202.
Although Lante accepted the portal blueprint handed over by Susie, he did not agree to her cooperation proposal. Lante has no interest in the prosperous capital city. In his eyes, the intricate capital city is not as good as his Yeqi City. comfortable.

Susie was prepared for Rand's attitude, and did not force it. "Master Viscount, I must remind you that if you want to own a territory as large as the Galloping Horse Plain, bloodlines, levels, and magic goblins are not enough. You also need knights, magicians, and citizens, not just ordinary demons. Those who are not or are not demons, but the people who have blood ties with you."

Rand has a kind of disdain for Suzie's words from the bottom of his heart. There are still some differences between humans and animals. We can't solve everything by getting married, right?However, Susie did not intend to continue the discussion with him.

The great knight's departure was as chic as her arrival. She jumped from the top of the watchtower and was caught by the griffin and swung away, leaving only the fire in the yard roaring unwillingly.

Because Tania wanted to return to the ruins of Yeqi City, for her, it was not only a comfortable throne but also a source of strength.Lante didn't want to stay in Rotor Castle for a long time, so he took Tania back to the city on the afternoon of the 9th.

As soon as she arrived outside the city, the big goblin wanted to go straight to the underground ruins, but Lan pulled her to build a pier in the east and south of the city before letting her go.

The south of the city is the agricultural planting area planned by Rand, and many granaries have been built inside the city wall.Now that the weather is getting warmer, some magic possessors are taking the non-magic ones to reclaim the land.

Since the current staple food is relatively secure, Rand requires that the first batch of vegetables be planted with a shorter growth cycle, and at the same time, the grass-type goblins can continue to improve the varieties.

Rand himself didn't have any knowledge about farming. He just appointed a person in charge of a demon possessor and two housekeepers without a demon. After working under the sun for a few days, the skin of the three people had already been tanned.

"My lord, I still think we should grow some grains." Zhuo Hele, who was in charge of the planting, was just an ordinary demon owner. He was an out-and-out farmer before he was taken captive to the salt mine. These vegetable leaves are not enough to eat."

"You don't have to worry about the grain this year. Four or five boats of grain will be delivered soon, and there will be such grain every month in the future." With the scale of the transaction between Rand and the Viscount Elk's family, 4 gold coins of grain are enough for the people of their own territory Eat for several years, "but people can't just eat food, more vegetables and meat, food consumption will be slower."

"By the way, when growing food in your hometown, do you use magic or magical techniques to promote growth?" Lante knew that Zhuo Hele was originally from the interior of the kingdom, and his family had hundreds of acres of land. Abandoned by the family.

"Every year, the seeds are blessed by the lord's magic goblin, and they will be distributed to us according to the area we plant," Zhuo Hele kept recalling, "In addition, the lord has a special construction mage who is responsible for leading everyone Go up and build water conservancy"

"Mountain ridges? Don't you farm on flat land?" Rand was aroused by Zhuo Hele's words, "My hometown is a large plain."

"Yes, but mainly in the mountain fields." Zhuo Hele looked at Lante's very curious eyes, "My lord, you haven't heard of the mountain fields, have you? The mages will use the mountains to dig deep fields. Let every field have a 3-5 meter high fence."

"You mean, you not only abandoned the plains, but even used the mountains to build fields? What's the plan?"

"According to our school, the high ridges around the fields can gather magic elements and promote the growth of grains, so the best fields are mountain fields, with enough magic elements and water conservancy facilities, but we need to arrange more leaders to farm the land. " Zhuo Hele said that the last point is embarrassing, because in his school, the need for more labor from the people is not a disadvantage compared to the increase in food production by magic.

"Do you still have a school?" Lante remembered that according to the Blue Dragon School, only big cities would have schools dedicated to demon possessors.

"Yes, if we want to inherit the family's field, we need to go to a special school. The one who taught us to plant is an intermediate mage master. He will teach us about seeds, pests and weather knowledge. Before we inherit the field, there will be an exam. .”

"How to test? Answer the paper?" The more Zhuo Hele talked, the more interested Rand became.

Since he came to this world, he has never paid attention to farming. Although his own Benma family farms, the harvest is very poor, so there are more vegetables in the fields.Rand has been thinking that if the world's plains can't feed the population, where will the food come from?I also talked to the son of the Elk Viscount's family before, but that Cavalier Kevin couldn't understand how the southern territory grows food.Rand did not expect that farmers in this world would be so professional.

Rand kept asking, and Zhuo Hele kept answering: "The written test you mentioned does exist, but there is also a farming test. It takes one year to cultivate a square plot of 1 mu."

"You have to study in the school for a year? The cost of your teaching is quite high." In Lante's eyes, it is too long to spend more than one year educating and assessing farmers on farming.

"My lord, it's not a year. It takes us 2-3 years from going to school to finally going to the field. Once we finish our studies, each of us will take at least 20 non-monsters to look after more than a dozen fields. The major events in the field We have to deal with all the small things. In order to take care of the field smoothly in the future, during our exams, the master mage will release some magic at any time, such as locusts, dryness, floods, etc. Let us deal with it, whether the land can produce food in the end It's not very important, what's important is that we protect the land in the correct way." Zhuo Hele scratched his head and grinned, "

"Then have you learned about composting?" Lander saw that Zhuo Hele didn't understand the word, "It means burying feces and water in a certain proportion and fermenting them to make natural fertilizers."

"No, the priests of the god of agriculture will bless the land every year to ensure that the land will have a good harvest."

"Did the planting course teach you that the roots of soybeans can promote the growth of other plants, how to maintain the distance between crops, breeding fish and crabs in rice fields, the effect of earthworms on the field, and postpartum care of sows?"

"...My lord, I haven't learned what you said." Zhuo Hele's head was getting bigger when he was asked by Lante. "My field is planted with oats, so the content of the study and exam is to plant the oats well, and how to do it after harvesting." Drying, threshing, storage, we have heard of some crops other than oats, but we don’t know how to serve them.”

"I see, then will you use some sowing and harvesting machinery to assist planting?"

"I heard that there is a Church of God of Craftsmanship. There is a magically driven animal that can replace human beings. But for us, magic crystals are too expensive, much more expensive than non-magic ones."

Lante understood, transforming the mountains and rivers into a magical building, using magic spells, magic circles, and magic goblins to comprehensively strengthen the soil, seeds, and even the air, and filling in professional farmers to make farming more refined. It can be seen that this world is agricultural A Tut's technology tree was pointed out, but how high can the grain produced in this way be?

"Then what is the yield per acre of the field you planted?"

"For our side, there are three seasons a year. The first season with the highest yield per mu can be 3 tons, and the yield in the next two seasons is about 3 tons per mu." Zhuo Hele replied honestly, "But we grow oats, and some Locally grown cereal varieties have higher yields."

Well, Rand also admitted that the method of farming in Zhuo Hele's hometown seems to have no shortcomings except labor costs, and the labor costs can also be subsidized by the empire.
