It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 750 Fight to save the famine!Storage, Livestock, Fisheries, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium!

The sails on the mast of the grain ship bulged, slowly crossed the strait, and sailed into the harbor of the Kingdom of Kent.The amount of food entering Hong Kong every day will be recorded by the local magician, and directly reported to the magic council through the information transmission system of the wizard tower.

As for the parliament headquarters, there is a special magician leading a group of accountants, sweating profusely:

"500 tons of wheat arrived at the Port of Nevis!"

"200 tons of wheat and 100 tons of oats have arrived at the Port of Inverness!"

"800 tons of wheat, 300 tons of barley, and 150 tons of oats have arrived in Wangdu!"

"Arrival at Bristol Harbor..."

These data are continuously aggregated upwards.After analysis, research and judgment, batch after batch of instructions were issued quickly:
"There are not enough warehouses! Within half a month, the mage towers in various places will speed up the construction of new grain storage cellars! The construction standard is [-] tons for small towns and [-] tons for county towns!"

"Open cement firing authorization! Open the learning authority of [Magic Missile], [Force Field Impact], [Earth Split], [Dragon's Breath Hand] and other spells! The mage who redeemed the spell for free rushed to various places to participate in the construction of the granary !"

"Send out the prophecy mages! Go to the mage towers in each area, locate the depth of the groundwater, and find a suitable location for building a warehouse! If you are sure that this area is really not suitable, report it quickly and make another plan!"

"Tell the people in Black Crow Swamp not to stay in the tomb, get out quickly, and bring their skeletons to help the mage tower dig the cellar! It's busy farming season, it's inconvenient to hire people, and the skeletons are idle anyway!"

"What about fishing? How much consumption can the fishing hold? Herring? Cod? Mullet?"

"Only 2000 tons a year?! What is 2000 tons? Just enough to feed the people of Nevis! - Find a way to expand fish production! What do they need? More boats? More salt? Or lower taxes? "

"Import sea fish vigorously! Where is the most prosperous fishery nearby? The Netherlands? Can produce 30 barrels of herring a year?...How many pounds is a barrel of herring?"

No one dared to laugh at him.In fact, from the great magician who asked the question to this group of high-ranking mages, no one knows how many pounds a bucket of herring is.Immediately someone rushed out to inquire, and after a while, the number was reported:
"Buckets come in different sizes, different dimensions, and the weight of a bucket varies greatly - buckets for cod, for herring, for pike, for moray eels, all different sizes, between 200 pounds and 500 pounds float."

The archmage was about to stare immediately.The clerk turned over a page of the information in his hand, and hurriedly speeded up:

"However, the Duke of the Netherlands, more than 50 years ago, unified the rules for herring catching, pickling, packaging, and the size of wooden barrels. If the herring is imported from the Netherlands, a barrel is 360 pounds .”

The archmage finally breathed a sigh of relief.30 barrels of herring a year, a barrel of 360 pounds, almost 5 tons.If you can eat all of them, you can get almost 1 pound of fish per person per month——

Less is less, but it is not so little that the splashes are invisible.

"Import salted fish from the Netherlands in large quantities! Don't let them sell to the Carolingian Kingdom, sell them to the Rhine Kingdom! - Free them from tariffs! Parliamentary subsidies! Or, use penicillin, use pain relief scrolls, use various restrictions on export The materials and the lord exchange!"

"Increase sea salt production! Find new salt farms, find rock salt mines, and increase refined salt production!"

"Let part of the navy change its mission and go out to sea to hunt whales for me! Boil whale oil! Hunt seals, walruses, boil oil and bring it back! These are very good foods. A spoonful of whale oil is more filling than a pound of bread !"

"Open the pastures and let the farmers raise sheep and pigs..."

Orders were recorded one by one, and then divided into various departments, and conveyed in a streamlined manner.Here one problem is solved, and over there, another pressing problem arises:
"Manure is still not enough! The whole Kingdom of Kent has about 800 million hectares of arable land and about 1400 million hectares of pastures. Now we don't fertilize the pastures. All the manure, river mud, and biogas residues combined are only enough to fertilize the arable land for one season." half!"

"What about the city?"

"Mage towers in various places have communicated with the lords and asked them to collect the feces in various cities. However, the progress is relatively slow. Except for Hartland City and Newster County, which are already being implemented, it is expected that the collection of compost will be completed. It's the second half of the year."

"What about the substitute?"

"I've tried peat, but it doesn't work. It needs to be treated. The specific treatment method, the transformation system combined with the prophecy system, and the priest of the God of Nature are still trying. I haven't tried the best solution yet..."

"Let them speed up! Send 1000 basic mental power potions, and ask them to try to deal with them within half a month!"

"According to the paper submitted by Master Nordmark, the Alchemy Guild tested 13785 kinds of minerals in stock. The conclusion is that carnallite and the waste water produced by sea salt can be used as potash fertilizer after treatment."

Now finally there is good news.The judges who asked the question breathed a sigh of relief:

"How about the domestic mineral reserves? Is it enough? Are there enough people to deal with it?"

"The amount of mineral reserves is not bad. As a result of communicating with the king's capital, there are several large rock salt mines with waste rocks piled up into mountains. The royal family is willing to provide them for us to use. The local mage has already rushed over. After element determination and concentration measurement, it is confirmed that they can supply Potassium fertilizer for one season."

Thankfully, the problem was solved by a third.In the large conference room, a judge next to him raised his voice:
"What about phosphate fertilizer? What about nitrogen fertilizer?"

"The best source of phosphate fertilizer is struvite. Farmers have been mobilized to scrape as much as possible from the rocks by the sea, but the stock is estimated to be insufficient. However, we have found several deserted islands in the Storm Islands, which are full of struvite... "

Several archmages frowned.The Storm Islands are the territory occupied by the Holy See of Radiance. If they want to dig up the guano stones, it means that they may run into the Holy See of Radiance.

Although they are all deserted islands, it is unlikely that the ship will pass by, but... digging and loading the ship are not like catching some strange beasts, and the duration is quite long.The longer the time, the greater the chance of hitting another ship.

Several people exchanged glances with each other.Finally, the protection mage who ranked first coughed lightly:
"Any alternatives?"

"Bone spurs, bones, fish scales, these things can be replaced by decomposing and fermenting, but the quantity is not enough." The magician who came to report turned over a page of information and speeded up his speech:
"We made statistics. Based on the annual consumption of meat and fish in Nevis City, the phosphate fertilizer made from these things can't even meet one percent of the demand. And sorting and sorting is a very big problem."

"Where are the sea fish?"

"The shipping capacity of sea ships is not enough. When the sea fish is brought back, it has been salted, and the waste is not washed. If it is used rashly, it will cause soil salinization."

...it seems that there is no other way.Several magicians looked at each other, and it was still the protection magician who made the decision:

"Then work hard to mine struvite. Allocate 10 ocean-going ships and try to transport them. Tell them to stop transporting those beaver skins, carmine, and the like. They can't eat or drink, and the great famine will come soon! "

"In addition, issue a purchase order, you guys estimate a suitable purchase price and report it. In addition to the navy of the parliament, let the sea merchants also help with transportation."

"The mining method... Digger Golem? Digger? Magic Missile? Prepare a batch of them all. Estimate the quantity."

"The magician on board, increase the contribution points, increase the authority. The council has released a batch of middle-level spell authority, by the way, explosives! Also make a batch of explosives..."

"Explosives cannot increase production!" Beside the reporter, another magician suddenly raised his head, his voice cracked:

"The most important raw material for explosives, saltpeter, is also the raw material for producing nitrogen fertilizer! There is a huge shortage of saltpeter now! Very, very large! The output of saltpeter mines in the kingdom is very small, just enough to make explosives, and to make nitrogen fertilizer... We have already..."

The voice changed from shouting to normal, from normal to humming, and then from humming to silence.The archmage frowned and asked:

"Already what?"

"Already..." The reporter stammered, red spreading from his chin to the base of his ears.Obviously, seeing the method reported below, he also felt that the three views were a bit broken:

"I have had people scrape the walls of the toilets, the chair legs and floors of the temple, and the outer walls of the pigsty and cattle stables..."

"..."

The protection mage in the white robe turned his face silently.On the other side of the long table, the sorcerer of the transformation department didn't change his face, obviously he had heard of this kind of operation a long time ago:

"It's still not enough? So what's your solution? Where is there a relatively large saltpeter mine? Can it be imported from the nobles on the mainland? Have you asked the dwarves and barbarians?"

"I've asked." The reporter said with a bitter face:

"The information given by the barbarians is useless. The dwarves have no saltpeter in the mines they have explored. As far as we know, the largest saltpeter mine is in the south of the New World, and it is in the southwest, far, far away..."

The judges fell silent.If it is the guano stones from the Storm Islands, if you can send a ship to steal them, and if you steal them and run away, the piece on the south side of the New World is completely the traditional territory of the Holy See of Glory.

The Kingdom of the Rhine, the Kingdom of Carolingia, are directly under the Parliament, and the four governor-generals divided up the South Continent, as well as the Storm Islands between the South Continent and the North Continent.Every port is their territory, and they can't get through by sea or land...

"What about spending money to buy it?"

"The quantity is not enough... Saltpeter is mainly used to make ice, the annual demand is not large, and very little is shipped from the New World..."

The wind and waves are dangerous, and there is a limit to the capacity of sea transportation.Shipping goods from the New World, only gold, silver, and high-priced goods can more than cover the cost and make high profits.Transporting saltpeter or something, tsk...

Unless the output and performance of ships are further increased and the risk is further reduced, no one will spend precious shipping capacity on transporting large quantities of saltpeter.

"We have gained something from this." Beside the white-robed mage, the old Sam of the evocation department took the words lightly:
"After a lot of experiments, we found that using lightning to strike wet soil can introduce nitrogen in the air into the soil. Now we are trying to achieve the maximum efficiency of element introduction, and we may need to set up more lightning induction stations..."
