Chapter 258: New Beginnings: Future Plans

"With the lessons of the past, we must treat the food problem as a top priority, and my plan is to increase the arable land by 20 percent in one year, basically from the current balance of payments and consumption to a large surplus, and it is time to build a granary. "The white wolf clarified his plan.

"Granary, with all due respect, you should know that mushrooms have a short shelf life, and those that can't be eaten are basically rotten by the end. Momiji questioned.

"That's true, so on the one hand, we need to extend the shelf life of mushrooms through preservatives, and on the other hand, we also need to expand the crops on cultivated land, and people in the emirate can't just eat mushrooms forever, such a single crop is harmful in the long run. ”

The white wolf did not explain much why a single crop is harmful, in fact, the answer is very simple, the more single the crop, the easier it is to breed pests and diseases, and the faster and wider the spread, once this happens, the consequence is a significant reduction in yield, which is the problem that large-scale planting cannot avoid.

"What other crops can we grow? But what else can we grow in the ground but mushrooms?"

"Don't always limit your horizons to the underground, it's time to develop the land on the surface, and it's easy to say anything when you have the sun. ”

"But the surface is all forests, and our advance team has been cutting down trees, and they haven't finished cutting them down yet. ”

Momiji is talking about the emirate's outpost further south in the far south of the human race, through which the emirate defeated the incompromising snake people, the problem is that the land there is not suitable for farming, large forests, hillsides and hills, these factors doom the land to be not so suitable for agriculture.

In the vicinity of that surface outpost, there are thousands of goblins living in total, and most of them are only tasked with cutting down trees every day, Rao is so, after cutting down for a few months, these goblins can only clear a piece of land of the right size, which can be used to build houses and house thousands of them, this is just the solution to the housing problem, and it will take a long time to further develop the forest and develop agriculture.

"I'm not talking about there, I'm talking about human territory, that is, the plains of the extreme south, where there is ready-made land, can we just go and occupy it?" said the white wolf.

"You're going to go to war with humanity? If you sustain two wars at the same time, I think the Emirate will collapse soon. Momiji's face instantly became quite unsightly, and if the white wolf insisted on going her own way, it meant that her years of hard work were likely to come to naught in an instant.

"Don't worry, you listen to me, now the situation in the extreme south is different from before, due to a cult called the Destruction Sect that rebelled, many humans in the extreme south have been killed, until now, the army of the human empire has not dared to step out of the southern province, for fear that the evil sect will come and sneak attack, it can be said that in the last few years, except for some adventurers and church forces will also be active over there, the entire extreme south is no different from no man's land, if you don't occupy the land at this time, when will you wait?" The white wolf explained the reasoning behind his idea.

"The far south of humanity has become a no-man's land? Are you telling the truth? Is there any evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence, this is all I have seen with my own eyes, if you don't believe it, you can ask those humans, if you don't believe it, you can go to the surface to see it for yourself." The white wolf said.

"Well, but are you sure the human army won't be dispatched again anytime soon?"

"If there is no news of the Destruction Sect, they should not be dispatched, we just need to be careful to occupy Hesse City first, and the surrounding villages and towns are also occupied, there are ready-made farmland, as long as the weeds are removed, and then the seeds are allocated, we will be able to resume production soon." The white wolf said.

"He's right, if that's the case on the surface, then it's a good time for us to send our troops, a borderland, whoever gets it first is anyone's. The black wolf was the first to express his approval of the white wolf's plan.

"However, I'm still worried about the problem of fighting on two fronts" Momiji looked worried, her fear came not only from the danger of fighting on two fronts, but also from the fear of the human army, after all, the settlement of the fox clan was destroyed by the human army itself.

"Rest assured, as long as we rely on the city, even if the human army really comes, we may not be without the strength to fight. "The white wolf is most worried about the human cavalry, at the current stage, the emirate has no troops comparable to the cavalry, although the earth dragon can be used as a mount, but the speed is much slower than the horse, more suitable for frontal charges, rather than harassment or flank attacks.

With the current power of the emirate, if it is really in the plains and the human cavalry encounter, then it must be themselves who suffer, and the cavalry can easily mess up the short-legged goblins with their speed advantage, which is why the white wolf will focus on fighting by the city.

"I still think it's too dangerous to fight on both sides. Momiji shook his head in opposition.

"So, we have to solve the problem of the Grey Mist invaders as soon as possible, these guys, since they appeared, have been hindering the development of the Emirate, we must not watch this situation continue, two, I have learned a truth on this return trip, that is, if a force does not develop, there is only a dead end, there are too many dangers in this world, there are constant disputes between various forces, we must seize every opportunity to develop ourselves, otherwise, the lessons of the various souls are there, I don't want to see everything we have worked so hard to build be destroyed and plundered like this, I don't want to see it again. ”

"Then I'll draw up a battle plan against the Grey Mist invaders when I go back, with the strategic goal of annihilating them all, right?" asked the Black Wolf.

"That's right, at least catch the mastermind behind the Grey Mist invaders behind it, before that, I will do the experiment on the fog mentioned earlier, if there is a result, it will prove that the opposite side is controlled by a "mastermind", as long as we destroy or control this "mastermind", the war is over. ”

"I really hope that your experiment will be successful, and I will give my lieutenants an order to create the conditions for your experiment as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you. ”

"It's not hard. ”

In this way, the fox and the wolf ended the discussion of the current situation and future of the emirate, and they set a strategic goal for this year, which must completely eliminate the gray fog forces by the end of this year, liberate the emirate from the huge attrition of the war, and instead invest resources in national education and economic construction, and must occupy Hesse and its surrounding areas before spring ploughing, resume agricultural production, and get a ready-made foothold on the surface.

As for the matter of economic theory training, this still needs to be prepared for a while, according to the white wolf's idea, this economic class can be regarded as a collective training for the high-level leaders of the Rune Sect, but these high-level officials are now distributed all over the emirate, and the work is also very busy, it is not easy to gather them all.

After thinking about it, the white wolf still decided to postpone this course, now is an important period of production and construction, they can't relax for a moment, if so many priests leave their posts at the same time and rush to him to gather, then the administrative system of the emirate will definitely be chaotic.

"Let's just set it on the day of the celebration. "The White Wolf has finally set a date, and if he is finally able to eliminate the Grey Mist invaders, there will inevitably be a celebration banquet to be organized, and most of the clergy will have to rush back at that time, which is the perfect time to gather them together and give a lecture.

Back at his desk, the white wolf looked at the thin papers on the desk and suddenly felt a little surprised.

"Why is that all, you've finished today's government affairs?" the white wolf looked at Momiji in shock.

"Hehe, I'll leave some trivial work to my subordinates, and we only need to be responsible for big things in the future. Momiji smiled as she took out a sun-dried fruit from a drawer and began to taste it with relish.

"You handed over the government affairs to the goblins, can they do it?" Listening to Momiji's approach, the white wolf beat a drum in his heart, with the level of the goblin, wouldn't it really make a mess of these things?

"Don't worry, no problem, the group of priests who came out of your school are very capable, very responsible, and very motivated, and are fully capable of the work I have given them, alas, it feels good to have reliable subordinates, and now I finally have time to rest. Momiji couldn't help but sigh.

"As long as you can rely on it. ”

The white wolf flipped through the documents on the table, and sure enough, there were some problems that were related to the overall situation and needed to be solved from a high-level perspective, and there were also reports written in some crooked Chinese characters, which were written by goblins at a glance.

"It seems that the decision to build the school hall with great effort was not wrong. Looking at these Chinese characters, the white wolf couldn't help but sigh, education is a long-term investment, the effect is slow, but the effect is very significant, with the corresponding talents, the white wolf no longer needs to do everything himself, you can rest assured that the work will be handed over to them.

"No wonder Momiji didn't complain to me about the heavy work this time, it turned out that it was all pushed to his subordinates to do. The white wolf was still wondering why Momiji didn't complain to him about his work this time, but now he finally realized that he didn't think it was lazy, but the effective management and use of human resources.

To be honest, White Wolf is not a workaholic himself, and he likes to take vacations, and with these reliable men, he can also get some rest time to do what he likes.
