Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 8 8. Planting Licorice

Licorice, a plant that is exactly the same as the broad-leaved grass that can be seen everywhere except that it can produce heart-shaped blue flowers.But it is because of this flower that it contains special energy, and it has transformed into a first-order advanced potion, which is one of the main medicines of the rock tiger potion that can strengthen the fighting spirit of warriors.

Although Licorice Grass looks ordinary, it has extremely strict requirements on the growth conditions. Whether it is the concentration of mana, temperature, humidity, etc., it can greatly affect the growth of Licorice Grass.Viscount Mordo, the pharmacists in Wellington City have studied for many years and have not found a way to grow licorice in large quantities.

Rock Tiger Potion can strengthen the fighting spirit of warriors, which means it can keep warriors from advancing quickly to become more powerful warriors. It is the potion that every warrior who wants to be more powerful wants to buy the most. Demand exceeds supply for every bottle of Rock Tiger Potion The price reached 10 gold coins.The hundredfold profit made Yanhu Pharmacy a major industry in the Viscount Mansion.

Therefore, every place where licorice can be planted has become a place that the Viscount Mansion must control. Twenty years ago, someone found several wild licorice in the licorice valley of Stan Village. This discovery immediately gave the discoverer an extremely rich reward. reward.

Thus, Stan Village came into being.

Planting licorice is the meaning of the existence of Stan Village and the duties that must be fulfilled.

The unattractive licorice grass has extremely strict requirements on the growing environment, and is extremely overbearing and greedy. There is basically no grass within one meter around each licorice plant. After harvesting, the land is almost sandy and it takes five full years to restore its original appearance.

After repeated investigations by the pharmacists in Wellington City, it has been confirmed that this valley covering an area of ​​more than 3000 mu can plant up to 5000 licorice plants.

In this way, the annual task of Stan Village is determined, and at least 5000 licorice plants will be handed over to the Viscount's Mansion every year.If it is less than [-] plants, the next year's tax will be increased, and if it exceeds [-] plants, Lord Viscount will not hesitate to reward.

This is why Ross tried every means to increase the planting area of ​​licorice grass and increase the yield. As long as the number of licorice plants exceeds [-] this year, the viscount can give Stan village a good life for a year.

Originally, Lowes planned to apply a large amount of organic fertilizers to increase the fertility of the land where licorice is planned to be planted this year, in order to improve the quantity and quality of licorice. Whether it will be effective or not is still a question.

But now he has a better way, the book and a bag of seeds that Reverend Holp gave him.

According to the introduction in the pamphlet written by Pastor Holp himself, Licorice Grass is a magic potion that consumes a lot of magic power. The stronger the magic power in the growing environment, the more vigorous the Licorice Grass will grow, and the quantity will increase accordingly. increase.

According to Pastor Holp, he inadvertently discovered that the moonshine grass next to the several licorice plants not only did not wither, but also the two potions grew stronger and more energetic than the other licorice plants.Moonlight Grass is also a first-order low-level potion that is commonly used and not low in value.

Afterwards, Pastor Hornpu found through a lot of experiments that Moonshine Grass and Licorice Grass could complement each other. Planting Moonshine Grass mixed in the same environment can actually increase the yield of Licorice Grass by [-]% to [-]%, and the effects of the two potions will not have the slightest effect. weakened but slightly increased.

In the valley of Stan Village, 5000 Licorice Grass can be planted. If the output is increased by 1500% to 2500%, it will be [-] to [-] Licorice Grass, and if the same amount of Moonshine Grass is added.Rose's breathing began to become heavy, which can be called a terrifying improvement, and the reward from Lord Viscount will definitely bring about a qualitative change in their lives.

And this is the personal discovery of Pastor Holp, and it is also a result that has not been announced yet.

After all, if it had been announced, Wellington would have sent professionals to train the farmers in Stan to increase production and planting according to the importance Wellington City attached to Licorice Grass.

Thinking about this, Ross knew that he owed a lot to Pastor Holp this time.

I shook my head and didn't think about it, but I kept it deeply in my heart, and I will repay it twice when I have the opportunity in the future.In this regard, Ross, who has a system, is full of confidence.

In fact, Pastor Holp is not a generous and selfless person, and it is even more impossible for a small village head like Ross who has only met once.Although he is a holy priest, according to the words of the goddess of commerce, nothing is free.This is most vividly reflected in priests and businessmen.

There are two main reasons why Pastor Holp was able to tell Ross the secret of Moonlight Grass this time.

One is that before handing over the secret of Moonlight Grass to Ross, he had already dedicated it to his mentor, the second-rank priest in Wellington City where Viscount Mordo lived.The reward from the Viscount's Mansion satisfied the mentor of the second-tier priest, and naturally the mentor also gave him the guidance and reward he had always wanted.

The second is that he made Ross's ruby ​​with a second-level druid through a friend's recommendation, and under his guidance, he solved a problem of potion planting that had troubled him for a long time.The most important thing is that he actually broke through the realm of being immobile for many years at that moment, and became a level 7 first-order priest. His strength and identity have been greatly improved.

Based on these premise, plus Pastor Holp originally thought that Ross was a visionary and promising young man, the idea of ​​investing in it. Pastor Hope gave this method along with a bag of moonshine grass seeds to Ross .

Of course, Ross was unaware of all this.All he knew was that he owed Pastor Holp a favor and wanted to find an opportunity to repay Pastor Holp.

The end of the first spring rain is the best time to plant licorice.

On this day, Los, who was wearing thin linen clothes and rough straw sandals, solemnly took two bags of seeds and walked into the valley as if holding diluted treasures, followed by twenty dexterous villagers in the same dress. .

The land in the valley that is planned to be planted with licorice grass has already been plowed, watered, fertilized, and leveled. All the best farmers from Stan Village who came to the valley can tell at a glance that this is the most fertile and best land. , No matter what you plant, you can get a good harvest, so every farmer has a happy smile and expectations for a good harvest.

"This is the seed of moonshine grass. This is the seed of licorice grass. Don't confuse it." Luo Si picked up two completely different seeds in each of his left and right hands and said loudly: "You have to remember clearly that the planting depth of licorice grass is 5 centimeters, and the moonlight The depth of grass planting is 3 cm. The two kinds of seeds are planted crosswise at a distance of one meter from each other.

That is to say, every licorice grass must be a moonshine grass one meter from the front, back, left, and right sides, and each moonshine grass must be a licorice grass from the front, back, left, and right sides. Do you understand? "

"Understood!" Although new seeds have been added, it is not too difficult for these old farmers to plant.

Ross stopped talking nonsense and quickly distributed the seeds to start planting.

The long wooden stake is poked deeply into the soft and dark ground, and two crumpled licorice seeds are thrown in, and then the small hole is filled with soil and gently flattened. A licorice plant will grow Planted.

Then go forward one meter and poke the hole, and then plant two crescent moonshine seeds.After advancing one meter further, there is Licorice Grass again, planted in such a way that the two kinds of potions can be fully mixed and contacted to achieve the best effect of mutual influence.

7500 Licorice Grass and 7500 Moonshine Grass are the result of the villagers planting in the morning, and they are also the largest number that Luo Si plans to plant. Any more will be a waste of seeds, and even affect the growth of Licorice Grass.

The rest is watering on time, driving away wild animals, and of course adding organic fertilizer to the two potions from time to time.As for how much he can survive and how much he can harvest, to be honest, Ross, who currently lacks the means, can't guarantee it.

The hope of Stan Village in the coming year is all pinned on these tens of acres of black land. The fertile black land and the new planting method should be able to give Ross and the whole village a satisfactory answer.
