Entering the closest, and leftmost glass greenhouse, you can see that inside the glass greenhouse, which is several hundred meters long, neat rice and wheat seedlings grow.

These rice and wheat seedlings were already yellow and clear, and they exuded a special fragrance of rice, which was the fragrance of grain, and Minister Aubrey felt a little hungry just by smelling this fragrance.

Compared with the average rice and wheat seedlings, it can be clearly seen that it can be thickened, and the heavy ears of rice will press the thick wheat seedlings into bends, and the ears are full of grains, and the grains are bulging. It's like it's going to burst.

Minister Aubrey picked a bunch of ears of rice, put them in his hand and twisted them vigorously, and the shells of the ears that were about to be ripe cracked one after another, revealing the rice inside.

These grains of rice look much bigger than the visible rice, and after breaking out of the shell, the vulgar fragrance is stronger. Each one is pale yellow and distinct.

"Flandy, are these rice also watered with diluted plant-based magic essence?" Minister Aubrey asked Frand, who was beside him.

"Yes, Uncle Aubrey, these glass greenhouses are the same as the one in my magic tower, and they are all watered. ”

Aubrey touched his forehead with his hand and sighed, "Flandy, how much essentia do you have, to be so bad." ”

"Abba, Frandy has a lot of essence! There's almost no place to put it!" Shirley saw that Abba Aubrey blamed Flandy a little, and immediately became unhappy.

"No matter how much you have, you can't waste it, it's useful to have more. Aubrey was still reluctant.

"Well, now you can get a semi-essena ampoule a day, Uncle Aubrey, it's nothing with this essentia. ”

Seeing that Minister Aubrey had been struggling with the matter of the plant-based magic essentia, Flandi couldn't help but reveal the daily production of the plant-based magic essentia.

"Ahh

The magic seeds that Dennis gave to Frandy are very weak, not as strong as Shirley's magic seeds, but they can't stand the large number.

Ten elemental collectors collect one drop every two hours, that is, ten drops in 120 minutes and one drop in 12 minutes, and 160 drops of essentia can be produced in 32 hours a day.

A bottle of essentia ampoule can hold about 100 drops of essentia, so Franky is not lying at all when he says that he can produce a bottle of semi-essentia ampoule a day.

Frandi's 3-acre glass greenhouse needs 10 drops of essentia, which is almost 3 drops per acre, and 160 drops is enough for more than 50 acres of land.

Essence of magic is precious, but if there is no magician to use it, it can only be stored and immovable, and the magicians of the plant department are not in the magic academy, so what's the point of just storing it?

And if those plant-based magicians return to the magic academy, Frandi can ask them for more magic seeds and build more elemental collectors, and there will be more plant-based magic essentia.

So there's no need to store it now!

Perhaps the importance of the essence of magic is ingrained in Minister Aubrey's mind, and he always thinks that good things need to be stored in abundance.

Franky managed to convince Minister Aubrey with his own opinions, after all, he was Shirley's abba, and he still didn't want to make a bad impression in his mind.

"Frandy, have you ever calculated how many catties of rice can be harvested per acre of land?"

"Well, I have already harvested once last time, it seems that one acre of land can harvest seven or eight hundred catties of rice, I'll find someone to ask. ”

As he spoke, he said to a woman who was watering next to him, "Aunt Theresa, go and bring Willie steward, I have something to ask him." ”

As Flandy's visits to the Wheat Ear Farm became more frequent, many of the farmstead farmers had come to know the little owner.

And this little master is not bad to everyone, although he has to let everyone work for him during the blizzard season, but not only does his monthly salary rise, but he can also work in the glass greenhouse, and he also saves a lot of wood for heating at home.

Aunt Theresa went to find Willy, the old man who was the steward of the farm, and Freddy took the father and daughter around in the glass shed.

Shirley has never been here, but she likes to enjoy the flowers and plants in the glass greenhouse on the side of the magic tower, in addition to the rice and wheat in this glass greenhouse, there are also some vegetables planted in the corners and corners, but they don't grow as well as those over there.

After wandering in the glass greenhouse for a long time, Aubrey pinched a handful of ears of wheat from time to time to see how it was growing, and it didn't take long for the old man in charge, Willy, to be called over by Aunt Theresa.

"Young master, I'm here. ”

Willy doesn't know Aubrey, and he doesn't know Shirley, although Aubrey is visiting Frandy in a private capacity today, wearing casual clothes, but that superior temperament can't be hidden.

At first glance, he was a person with status, and Willy didn't dare to slack off, even if he didn't know each other, he bowed to the two.

"Steward Willie, this is the Minister of Agriculture, Aubrey, and his daughter, who is also a friend of mine. ”

Flandy introduced the two, but he didn't expect that Willie's steward must be the Minister of Agriculture, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his legs were weak.

Minister of Agriculture. The important minister of the empire, who is in a high position and is in charge of the grain distribution of the entire imperial capital, can come to the wheat ear farming plan is something that Willy never expected.

Aubrey took old man Willie's kneeling for granted, but Flandie couldn't get used to this and directly supported him.

Minister Aubrey didn't care, but asked directly: "Tell me, how much rice has been harvested per acre of these fields?"

Willie's voice trembled a little, but he said it quite clearly: "My lord, this field has only been harvested once, and when it was harvested last time, it produced 700 catties of rice per mu. ”

"Seven hundred catties!" Minister Aubrey was a little surprised, it would be good for an ordinary field to produce three hundred catties of rice, and a good field would only produce five hundred catties.

But now it's the blizzard season, even if there is a glass greenhouse, it is so much higher than the mass production in ordinary years?

However, when I thought that this was all in exchange for plant-based magic essence, I felt a faint pain in my heart.

Although Flandy had already given his reasons to himself, and he had some agreement with it, the idea that magic essency was precious that he had cultivated over the years still had a great influence on him.

He shook his head, trying to throw out the idea of a magical essentia, but it frightened Willie's steward, and he thought that the adult was very dissatisfied.

"Uncle Aubrey, it's only been six days to mature!"

When Flandi saw Aubrey shaking his head, he also thought he was not satisfied, and hurriedly explained.

"Six days?" Aubrey forgot about the time, if it was six days, how much grain would he have to produce in a year?

It's a pity to use plant-based magic essence, the more Aubrey doesn't want to do this, but the more he feels pity in his heart.

"How much do you think you can produce this time?" asked Aubrey casually, gently grinding the grains of rice he had just picked with his hand.

"My lord, this time I planted the rice seeds from last time, and it seems that the yield should increase a lot. ”

"Oh, I see that these rice are ripe, why not harvest them now?"

"Well, my lord, I let it grow for six days last time, and now it has only been planted for five days, and it was supposed to be harvested again tomorrow. ”

"I picked some casually just now, and I saw that these rice can be harvested, and I happen to be here, so I will harvest an acre of land and weigh how much rice can be produced!"

Naturally, Flandi would not refuse, and he also wanted to know how much the seeds could increase the yield after one optimization.

So Willy called out to a few sturdy peasants, each with a sickle, and began to harvest the rice side by side.

It didn't take long to harvest all the ears of wheat and seedlings, but the ears of rice had to be dried and threshed.

But now the big man has to look at the yield, and the drying process is omitted, and these rice are directly threshed.

In Flandy's previous drawings to the Ministry of Works, there were blueprints for the threshing machine, which was not a complicated machine, and had already been built.

Frandi took advantage of his connections to pull two of them in the Ministry of Industry a few days ago and put them in the wheat ear farm, and the rice and wheat ears in the glass greenhouse have been used once every time they are ripe.

This time, these farmers were already more skilled, and it only took more than an hour to turn the harvested ears of wheat into rice.

Looking at the hill-like grains of rice, Aubrey felt that there should be a lot, but the specific amount still had to be weighed.
