Farming Tycoon of Two Worlds

Cheng Zhou kept thinking about something and looked at Ye You from time to time.

Ye You said impatiently: “Okay, just ask what you want to ask.”

Cheng Zhou smiled and thought to himself: Since Ye You has said so, it’s time to have some good white prostituting, “Do you know what kind of geographical environment the Black Wheat Village is in?”

“Geographical environment? What is that?” Ye You asked in confusion.

Cheng Zhou found a few maps from the Internet and explained them to Ye You. Ye You quickly understood.

“The island where Black Wheat Village is located is called Plate Stone Island. Compared to the entire Plate Stone Island, Black Wheat Village only occupies the tip of the iceberg. The land of Plate Stone Island is very barren, crops grow badly, and there are few spiritual insects born. Nobles generally don’t like it. The current lord of Plate Stone Island is Viscount Mikhail.”

Cheng Zhou asked curiously: “What is Mikhail’s background?!”

“Plate Stone Island is actually a subsidiary island of Coral Island. The previous lord of Coral Island was Mikhail’s father, Gabriel.”

Cheng Zhou inquired intriguingly: “Is Mikhail not favored?”

According to Ye You, Plate Stone Island is equivalent to a barbaric land in the other world, and being assigned to Plate Stone Island is equivalent to exile.

Ye You shook his head and explained: “That’s not the case. Gabriel was killed in a battle ten years ago. The current count of Coral Island is Mikhail’s uncle, Hebron.”

“If that’s the case, the reign has changed?”

Ye You nodded, “You can put it that way. Logically speaking, as Mikhail was Gabriel’s only son, he was the most legitimate heir to Coral Island when Gabriel died. However, Mikhail was too young at the time, only seven years old. So, the position as the count was occupied by Hebron. Hebron’s status was not solid, and he was worried that Mikhail would grow up and threaten his rule. Five years ago, when Mikhail was thirteen years old, he was bestowed the title of viscount, and was sent to Plate Stone Island by Hebron.”

Cheng Zhou narrowed his eyes and said: “This is giving an honor that sounds nice and immediately exiling him. It places Mikhail in a really awkward position.”

Ye You mentioned lightly: “According to the rules of nobility, nobles have the right to collect taxes, assign corvée, and make laws and regulations in their territory. Unfortunately, Plate Stone Island is vast and sparsely populated and Mikhail has too few people available around him. The people’s survival is also a problem and therefore, Mikhail does not have much tax to collect. He is too young and Hebron deliberately suppresses him without any intention to help. Thus, Mikhail’s control over Plate Stone Island is very weak.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: “So that’s how it is.”

Cheng Zhou suddenly recalled, Ye You stated before that Mikhail is a waste! Hiding in the castle all day being sad and sentimental, lamenting about his miserable fate.

Cheng Zhou can understand after some thinking. A person’s growth is closely related to the environment in which he lives. If Gabriel hadn’t died, then Mikhail would be a real prince, and definitely not fall into this situation.

“Mikhail really doesn’t have it easy!” Cheng Zhou exclaimed.

Ye You snorted coldly and said indignantly: “What’s not easy for him? Even if his father died, he is still a noble. Although he can’t compare to Hebron’s sons in fine clothes and food, there are no problems with being clothed and fed. The oppressed people in his territory are the ones who really don’t have it easy. Plate Stone Island is barren, and many people starve to death every year.”

Cheng Zhou was taken aback by Ye You, who suddenly got angry, and immediately echoed: “Yes, yes, yes. You are right, you are absolutely right.” A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if Mikhail is exiled, he is still the local despot of Plate Stone Island, and his authority is still very substantial.

“Who was the person who chased you that day?” Cheng Zhou questioned curiously.

“Parsons, the lord of Silver Sand Island.” Ye You said.

“Silver Sand Island?” Cheng Zhou muttered.

Ye You nodded and answered: “Silver Sand Island is also an island that belongs to Coral Island. It has long been allocated out by the previous generation’s count of Coral Island. The environment is much better than Plate Stone Island, and various resources are also abundant.”

Cheng Zhou replied with some worry: “Will the subordinates of Parsons on Silver Sand Island know that you killed him?”

Ye You shook his head and commented: “No, if the two half-brothers of Parsons knew that he was dead, they would definitely fight for Parsons’s title. These two people will not pay attention to me.” The kinship between the nobles is thin and cold, and Ye You has seen a lot.

“That’s good.” Cheng Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, “Is Parsons a silver knight?”

Ye You confirmed and said, “Yes.”

Cheng Zhou inwardly thinks: Ye You and Parsons had a lose-lose battle before. Ye You’s strength is almost equivalent to a silver knight.

“What do you think of the living conditions in Black Wheat Village?” Ye You asked.

Cheng Zhou frowned and said in his heart: Cracked up under the strain of poverty and sorrow; dull and lifeless.

Ye You smirked and commented: “Although Black Wheat Village is very poor, compared to the commoners in other nobles’ territories, their lives are pretty decent. The village head of the Black Wheat Village owns a spiritual worm.”

“If Plate Stone Island is replaced by a powerful lord, even if Black Wheat Village is barren, the lord will find ways to squeeze out a few taels of oil. He will never let Black Wheat Village develop freely there. And if it is replaced by some overbearing lord, as the village head of Black Wheat Village owns a rye worm, it is very likely that he will be forced to plant wheat exclusively for the lord.”

“Although the wheat grown by the village head of Black Wheat Village is not an elixir, the wheat influenced by spiritual insects is much better than ordinary wheat in terms of taste and nutrition.”

“However, because Black Wheat Village and the castle of the lord are blocked by a mountain, Mikhail has insufficient control over the commoners of his territory, so he can only allow Black Wheat Village to develop.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and voiced thoughtfully: “I see!”

“What are you thinking about?”

“I was wondering if I could start a pig farm in Black Wheat Village.”

Ye You squinted his eyes, snorted disdainfully, and remarked: “Pig farm? Are you dreaming?” The villagers of Black Wheat Village hate wild boars that descended the mountain from time to time to destroy their crops. How could they be willing to raise pigs.

Cheng Zhou countered seriously: “I know there are difficulties but aren’t difficulties meant to be overcome?”

Ye You shook his head and voiced in disapproval: “The most powerful person in Black Wheat Village should be the village head. Black Wheat Village has no knights who master the fighting force, and the wild boars going down the mountain will cause a devastating blow to the villagers in the village.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: “I know this. But what if you and I clear the forest, then dig a trench between Black Wheat Village and the horned boars, and also distribute the stun batons?”

Ye You was intrigued and asked: “Is the stun baton that strange weapon of yours?”

Cheng Zhou affirmed and answered: “That’s the one.”

“If that’s the case, it’s probably doable. If there are stun batons, the villagers should also be able to protect themselves. In essence, even if you don’t raise pigs, wild boars will still descend the mountain. However, if all the villagers have artifacts, can you control them?”

Cheng Zhou thought for a while and responded: “It should be possible to keep them under control.” The stun baton needs to be charged, and without recharging the power, the stun baton is of little use.

Ye You snorted coldly and said: “You are so confident. Who do you think you are, a gold knight?”

Cheng Zhou declared confidently: “I will become a gold knight in the future.”

Ye You huffed glacially and retorted: “Your thoughts are beautiful enough!”

Cheng Zhou smiled, not the least bit affected by Ye You, “One should always have aspirations! I’m going to bed first.”
