Although Rand took the portal blueprint handed over by Susie, he did not agree to her proposal to cooperate, Rand had little interest in the prosperous royal capital, and in his eyes, the intricate relationship between the royal capital was not as comfortable as his own Night Qi City.

Susie had prepared for Rand's attitude and did not force it. "Lord Viscount, I must remind you that if you want to have a territory the size of the Galloping Horse Plain, it is not enough to have bloodline, rank, and magic elves, you also need knights, magicians, and lords, not just ordinary demon supporters or demon no-ones, but people who are related to you by blood."

Rand has a disdain for Susie's words from the bottom of his heart, humans and animals are still a little different, and everything can't be solved by getting married, right? However, Susie had no intention of continuing the discussion with him.

The Grand Knight's departure was as dashing as her arrival, and the griffin caught and flew away from the top of the watchtower, leaving only the fire in the courtyard to roar unwillingly.

Since Tenya was determined to return to the ruins of Night Kirk, it was both a comfortable throne and a source of strength for her. Rand didn't want to stay in Rot's castle for a long time, so he took Tynia 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 Lantra built a dock in the east and south of the city before letting her go.

To the south of the city is the planned agricultural cultivation area of the Rand, and a number of granaries have been built within the city walls. Now that the weather is getting warmer, some demon supporters are taking the non-demon ones to reclaim the land.

Due to the relative security of the current staple food, Rand asked for the first batch of vegetables to be planted, with a shorter growth cycle and at the same time allowing grass-based goblins to continuously improve their varieties.

Rand himself did not have any knowledge of farming, but appointed a demon bearer in charge and two demon housekeepers, and after a few days of working under the sun, the skin of the three people had been tanned.

"My lord, I still think we should grow some grains" The Djohel in charge of planting is just an ordinary demon supporter, who was an authentic farmer before he was taken to the salt mine, "Our land here is better than that in my hometown, and I can't eat enough to grow these vegetable leaves." ”

"There is no need to worry about grain this year, there will be four or five ships of grain coming in soon, and there will be such grain even every month in the future." Based on the size of the transaction between Rand and Viscount Elk, 3,000 gold coins of grain is enough for his people to eat for several years, "But people can't just eat grain, more vegetables and meat, and the consumption of grain will be slower." ”

"By the way, growing food in your hometown will use magic or magic to promote growth?" Rand knew that Djohler was originally from the interior of the kingdom, and his family had hundreds of acres of land, and he was abducted to the salt mine because his family had completely abandoned him.

"Each year's seeds are blessed by the lord's magic elves, and they are distributed to us according to the area of our farm," Zohel kept recalling, "and the lord has a special construction mage who is responsible for leading everyone to build water conservancy on the ridges"

"Mountain ridges? Don't you farm on flat land? Rand was intrigued by Zohler's words, "My hometown is a vast plain. ”

"Yes, but it's mainly planted low in the Yamada," Zohler looked at Rand with a very curious gaze, "My lord, you haven't heard of Yamada, have you?" The mages would take advantage of the mountain to dig deep into the fields, so that each field had a 3-5 meter high ridge next to it. ”

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

"According to what we said in the school, the high ridges around the fields can gather magical elements and promote the growth of grains, so the best fields are mountain fields, and there are enough magic elements and water conservancy facilities, but we need to arrange more people to farm the land." Djohler said that he was embarrassed at the last point, because in his school, the need for more consular labor was not a disadvantage compared to the increased food production of magic.

"You still have a school?" Rand remembered that according to the Blue Dragon School, only big cities would have academies for demon supporters.

"Yes, if we want to inherit the family's fields, we need to go to a special school, and teach us to plant a middle-level mage master, who will teach us about seeds, pests and weather, and there will be exams before we inherit the fields."

"How to take the test? Answer? The more Zhohler talked, the more interested Rand became.

Since he came to this world, he has never paid attention to farming, although his own galloping horse family farms, but the harvest is very poor, so the fields are more vegetables. Rand has always wondered if the plains of the world can't feed the population, then where will the food come from? I had talked to the son of the Elk Viscount family before, but the Kevin knight couldn't understand how the southern territory grew food. Rand did not expect that farmers in this world would be so professional.

Rand kept asking, and Zhuo Hele kept answering: "The kind of written test you said does exist, but there is also a farming test, which takes 1 year to cultivate a square plot of 1 acre."

"You have to spend a year in the academy? The cost of your teaching is quite high" In Rand's eyes, it is a long time to spend more than a year educating and assessing farmers farming.

"My lord, it's not a year, we have to go to school to the last to go to the ground, how can it take 2-3 years, once we finish learning, each of us has to take at least 20 demonsless people to take care of more than a dozen mountain fields, and we have to deal with the big and small things in the fields. In order to be able to take care of the field smoothly in the future, when we take the exam, the master mage will release some magic at any time, such as locusts, dries, floods, etc., for us to deal with, whether the land can produce food in the end is not important, the important thing is that we protect the land according to the correct method. Zohel scratched his head and grinned,"

"Have you learned how to compost?" Rand saw that Zöhler did not understand the word: "It is to bury manure and water in a certain proportion and make natural fertilizer by fermentation." ”

"No, the priests of the god Sinon will bless the land every year and ensure a good harvest"

"Did the planting course teach you that the roots of soybeans can promote the growth of other plants, how to keep crops apart, fish and crabs in rice fields, the role of earthworms in the field, and postpartum care for sows?"

“。。。 I haven't learned what you said, my lord" Zhuohler was asked by the rand, his head was big, "My family's field is planted with oats, so the content of the study and exam is to plant oats well, how to dry, thresh, and store them after harvesting, and we have heard of some crops other than oats, but we will not serve them"

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

"I've heard that there is a Church of the God of Craft, a kind of animal powered by magic that can replace manpower heavier. But for us, the magic crystal is too expensive, much more expensive than the non-demon. ”

Lan Te understood, transformed the mountains and rivers into a magical building, and used magic magic, magic circles, and magic goblins to comprehensively strengthen the soil, seeds, and even air, filling in professional farmers, making farming more refined, it can be seen that this world has pointed out a Tut technology tree for agriculture, but how high can the grain produced in this way be?

"Then how much does an acre of land do you plant?"

"On our side, there are three seasons a year, and the highest yield per mu can be 3 tons in the first season, and about 2 tons per mu in the second two seasons," Zohler replied honestly, "but we grow oats, and in some places we grow higher grain varieties." ”

Well, Rand also admits that the method of farming in Zhuohler's hometown does not seem to have any shortcomings other than labor, and the labor cost can also rely on the Empire's subsidy.
