Chapter 370

Today's large manor, looking down from above, looks quite like a real estate. To the south of the city hall is a residential area, all mud or broken thatched houses, nothing to see. But the planned construction area has already started digging the foundation, and the surrounding area is full of building materials.

In addition, there is a whole piece of land that has been turned into a large farm, with wheat fields spreading all the way to the direction of Starry Night City.

There are also wheat fields around Starry Night City. After all, the areas around and in the center of the two towns are the safest.

Field didn't expect that the first thing connecting the two towns was not the brick road under construction, but the wheat field.

The only area that is not a wheat field is the orchard of Starry Night Manor, where neat fruit trees may produce fruits in one or two years.

Controlling the black crow to land at the city hall, Tisifa folded her hands and prayed.

"Great goddess, may your will come from heaven..."

"Ahem."

Field didn't want to disturb her, but her prayers usually lasted for one or two hours.

"Who?" Tisifa turned around quickly, and after seeing Black Crow, she breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped forward and asked with concern, "My lord, are you all right? I want to help too."

"We are fine. The territory needs you. You are the chosen one of the Holy Light, and you have enough persuasiveness to reassure the people."

After all, the people trust the Holy Light very much, and the territory needs someone to defend it.

"But..."

Field comforted, "I even have time to come back and play Happy Farm. It's nothing serious."

"Okay." Tisifa barely curled her lips, "Speaking of the farm, Miss Charlotte has cultivated new seeds, and she said she would give them to you personally."

"That's great, let's go and see it now."

When they arrived at the orchard, Charlotte was busy cultivating beetroot, which can be used to make sugar and is an economic crop.

As for the three-piece set of "potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes", Field did not find it. It is estimated that it is hidden in other continents, or this world does not exist at all.

"Miss Charlotte, the lord's uh...pet is back." Tisifa pointed at Black Crow, "He wants to talk to you about new plants."

"New crops are just a side note. The main thing is to come and see my lovely Minister of Agriculture - Miss Charlotte."

"I'm fine, Lord Field, you have to take care of yourself." Charlotte lowered her head, holding her sun hat, looking embarrassed. He raised his head and asked with concern, "When will you come back? I mean you. By the way, I also encountered political issues."

"Political issues? Tell me about it."

Field immediately became interested. The tiny place of Night County actually had political issues in agriculture.

"The people in the territory have started to fight for the land. Although the land belongs to you, even if you rent it to cultivate it, you can still make money. Everyone wants to plant more land, especially within the wall and the safe area around the city."

"For this reason, many people in the territory even quarrel and fight, and destroy other people's crops."

"I understand."

Field nodded. The agriculture in the Night Territory has encountered a bottleneck. It is not a technical problem, but a lack of farmland.

There are only a few safe lands, and they are all popular. The people in the territory will inevitably fight for the land.

Don't think of ordinary people as little white rabbits. Although they are afraid of meat eaters, they are ruthless to their own kind and can think of any tricks.

"Anyone who maliciously destroys crops will be punished to the maximum extent once verified. The standard setting will be handed over to my butler Kao."

With Kao's harshness, it will definitely be enough to make criminals drink a pot.

"Eh? I thought you would take a gentler approach." Tisifa was surprised. "I remember that you used persuasion as the main method before, and at most you whipped them twice."

"The main conflict at the beginning was to gain a firm foothold. Too harsh laws would cause the already uneasy people to collapse."

Field explained: "But now, they have time to quarrel and cause trouble, so naturally we have to step up our efforts."

"How do we solve the land issue?"

"Taxes are collected in different levels. The land in the territory is the earliest land to be reclaimed, with high yield and safety. It is classified as Class I land and the highest tax is collected. The land in the safe zone outside the city is classified as Class II, and the land in the dangerous zone is classified as Class III, and the tax is reduced in turn."

Field quickly gave a plan and added: "If the people in the territory are eager to plant, they will be dynamically allocated according to the number of family members to ensure that they have land to plant, and it cannot be concentrated in the hands of one person."

"How did you come up with this? Teach me. I also want to be smart."

Charlotte was surprised and grabbed the black crow and fiddled with it.

"Stop shaking, I'm going to get airsick."

Feeling dizzy, Field quickly called a halt and almost vomited.

"Okay, by the way, this is a strengthened seed, isn't it amazing?" CharlotteShe took out a bag of seeds from her small bag, which contained black and gold wheat seeds. "This is a mutant seed of rye. Although it is still an ordinary crop and has not reached the extraordinary level, the yield is higher."

Charlotte's artifact is a package. When you put seeds in it, they will automatically improve.

"Oh? There is such a good thing."

Field was overjoyed and looked at the seeds in front of him carefully. The original black and brown rye now has golden fine lines and stripes, which looks like a poor person can't afford it.

"How much has the yield increased."

Charlotte rubbed her smooth chin and counted on her fingers: "One, two...well, it will be a little more anyway, you will know after planting. In addition, the new wheat seeds will be more fragrant than the original wheat."

"A few more seeds per plant will give a lot more per acre. Let my slaves start planting improved rye now and see the results of the planting."

"However, the improved rye will have higher requirements for soil and needs to be planted deeper." Charlotte added.

"It's just right that we can smelt iron, let the blacksmith make a heavy plow."

Field clapped his fist: "I have already drawn the blueprint. In the future, horse plowing will gradually replace human plowing. This is the general trend."

The geographical location of the Griffin Empire is suitable for horses to survive. There are pack horses, draft horses, and plow horses everywhere. Cheap horses only cost sixty or seventy silver coins.

Therefore, horses are commonly used for plowing here, not cattle plowing. Cattle are used for meat and leather.

After asking the little fox to arrange the heavy plow, Field controlled the black crow to circle in the air.

"We have to find a way to clean up several rivers. We have to raise fish in the future and become a fisherman. The walls of the big manor should be raised as soon as possible."

"In addition, it's time to continue to develop the corrupted land. We need more space for development."

After confirming that the territory was operating normally, Field regained consciousness. Listening to the cleaning sounds in various places in the fortress, he felt comfortable and fell asleep with a quilt.

Unlike Field's comfort, Thunder City in the south of Rick Province has been attacked frantically for five days.

More than 30,000 rotten corpses surrounded the city. This small city built on the Thunder Plain was under tremendous pressure in its defense.
