After having a simple lunch with the current workers on the farm and getting to know each other, Liang En arranged the next work.

Most of the work here remains the same, except that the fertilizers, pesticides and seeds that were replaced to save money have been returned to their original quality, and he has asked for a greenhouse to be freed up for new crops.

Compared to the previous owners, Liang En's order apparently pleased the farmworkers who loved the estate, and they cleared a greenhouse in one afternoon.

After cleaning up, Liang En planted hundreds of soybean-sized, olive-shaped seeds with ridges on the top of the hole according to the method of hole sowing, ensuring that the row spacing was 30-35 cm and the plant spacing was 3-5 cm.

After sowing, he covered the freshly planted seeds with the same sandy soil that would have been used to grow carrots, ensuring that the thickness was no more than 1 centimeter. Then cover the straw curtain to keep the temperature in the greenhouse at 5°C~15°C, and the humidity at 50%~60%.

This is what Liang En learned from the shamans of the mountain ghosts, according to them, this plant is not easy to grow, and the seeds must be treated with low temperatures and moistened to simulate the high humidity of winter in order for them to germinate.

Although there were enough people, Liang and the others did not finish all the planting work until the next day, and the next thing was to wait for the seeds to germinate.

"Boss, what the hell are we growing?" After the planting, a farm worker named Peter asked, which is also a question that everyone has been curious about for the past few days.

"The seeds are a little bit close to fennel in terms of appearance and taste, but I've never seen fennel like this before, and they look a little strange."

"Oh, it's an ancient spice plant that's basically lost now. I found some other than when I was collecting antiquities, so I wanted to see if I could grow them. ”

"I see." After hearing Liang En's words, several farm workers nodded together. They had been worried that Liang En would use this to grow something illegal, but now they can finally put their minds at ease.

In fact, these seeds were obtained by Liang En from the pyramid of the ancient Egyptian cave before, and as part of the worship to the gods, these seeds were the seeds of selected ancient Egyptian crops.

Unfortunately, due to the long chaos that had taken place, the seeds of crops such as wheat, barley, flax, and onions were all consumed, and in the end, only a few seeds that ordinary people did not know and did not dare to eat.

Liang En took an ancient seed, Compass Grass Seed, from a series of plants that required an aura environment and plants that had better varieties in modern society.

Compass grass is a large, wild fennel plant with a compound spicy flavor that was a treasure at a time when spices were scarce, especially with a spicy taste, which were almost undiscovered by Europeans.

At the same time, compass grass is also a valuable medicinal material. According to the records of Pliny, the most famous naturalist in ancient Rome, it can treat symptoms such as typhoid fever and fever without side effects, and has the effects of cough, fever, analgesia, hair growth, contraception and abortion, and is even sought after as a cure-all.

In this case, compass grass and its products were naturally seen as a symbol of wealth, such as Caesar's description of the reserves in the Roman treasury in 49 BC with a special mention of 1,500 pounds of compass grass in addition to gold and silver.

Because of these important roles, the price of compass grass has soared, and it is even equivalent to the same weight of silver for a long time, and even related industries can support a city.

That city was Cyrene in North Africa, and thanks to the spice trade, it became very prosperous, with bustling markets, temples and even its own philosophical school.

But this prosperity was based on the unbridled exploitation of compass grass, for example, in order to monopolize this wealth, the land of the temple of Cyrene Apollo where compass grass grew was expropriated by the Romans and distributed to wealthy landowners.

As a result, the landlords coveted the benefits of compass grass, so they over-harvested it, causing it to become extinct. The felling of trees in the local forests to make furniture has contributed to the drastic loss of compass grass habitat.

Eventually, in the 1st century A.D., the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder's "Naturalist" wrote: Only one compass grass was found, and it was finally dedicated to the Roman Emperor Nero.

Since then, this miraculous herb has disappeared from the world, and although some have since used afoetum as a substitute, there is still a big difference between the two.

The seeds that Liang En had found in that cave were compass grass seeds collected by the ancient Egyptians, and although the ancient Egyptians named them were very different from the ancient Romans, he quickly determined what these seeds were by the descriptions engraved on the chest.

So after finding the mountain ghost to further confirm the seed's situation, Liang En decided to plant this vanished plant in the modern world as a cornerstone for his foothold in his home world.

After finishing planting the compass grass, Liang En went to the cellar of the castle, then took out a small pile of materials that he had bought in the county after the end of the war and walked to a statue in the cellar.

As a base in the modern world, Liang En naturally wants to prepare some defenses for Lemon Manor. It's a pity that he doesn't have the knowledge of formations, so after thinking about it, he can only temporarily put on top of it by creating alchemy puppets.

The technology for making this alchemical puppet originated in ancient Egypt in that ancient world. In the time of the pharaohs, such statues were built on the periphery of temples or in tombs, and when awakened, they were able to wreak havoc on all invaders.

Later, the technology spread to the Mediterranean coast, and a large number of variants appeared.

Obviously, this thing doesn't match much with the modern world, after all, it's hard to accept a moving and beating statue in a world where there is nothing extraordinary.

But until he finds some similar ways to hide or confuse, he can only rely on this hard-killing existence to protect his secrets for the time being-

Although he thinks that there should be no serious problems in the short term, there are some things that are not a bad thing to prepare in advance.

The basis chosen by Liang was a statue of a gargoyle, which used to be placed high on a building like a church. As for the one in the cellar, it was apparently moved in by the former owner of the castle.

"That's you." After carefully examining the granite statue, Liang En took out the gold from the small box containing the materials and put some mineral and plant powder in a small crucible, and then infused it with spiritual power.

The cauldron filled with potions floated up and gradually warmed up under the influence of spiritual power, melting the potions contained inside into a golden liquid that filled the entire cauldron.

"Up!"

After making sure that all the potions had been completely melted and fused, Liang En snorted lightly and pinched a sword trick in his right hand and quickly carved it on the gargoyle statue, and his left finger used his spiritual power to guide the liquid in the pot to fly towards the carving, and fill in the scratches that had been carved.

Ten minutes later, the statue was covered with dense runes and magic arrays, and with Liang En's second snort, these well-arranged runes glowed at the same time, and then disappeared into the statue together.

In the next moment, the statue's originally gray eyes emitted two bright lights, and then under Liang En's control, he jumped off the bottom platform and stood in front of him.
