Starting Life as a Baron

Backus' words reminded Alan of his previous side quest, The Rise of Agriculture.

"Oh, is it? Bacchus, it seems that earthworms are very good magical creatures."

Alan said with emotion: "Yes, my lord, I suggest that if we can have more earthworms, I hope that every earldom can have some, it doesn't need too much, and an earldom is about three thousand to four thousand. or so, that's enough.99

Bacchus took out his notebook: "Although it is said that a single earthworm can take care of the fertility of ten square meters of land, but I did an accurate experiment, if only ten square meters of land is too wasteful.

Bacchus took out a drawing from his notebook, he stepped forward, and handed it to Marco, who was wearing a golden knight armor on the stairs.

"Grand Duke."

Marko is passing on to Alan.

Alan looked at it, and it was some rough drawings, above which were some soil and data records about the farmland of Bacchus.

"Grand Duke, you see, although the earthworms are said to be responsible for the surrounding area of ​​ten square meters, in fact, this is a complete waste, because their ability is completely able to achieve excess nutrients in the land.

"Of course, this kind of nutrient excess is not much, but it can be confirmed that even if the crops are sown four crops a year, five crops can definitely be 840, as long as you master the seasonal division of farming, you can be perfect and uninterrupted. produce abundant crops.”

"As for the earthworms, they can roam in the entire earl territory, so that they don't have to worry about excess nutrients on the land, and they don't have to worry about the loss of fertility of the land, which can just meet the requirements of land fertility.

After Bacchus finished speaking, he said with great certainty: "My lord, I have made sure that even if we do not rely on magic and the spirit of nature, we can achieve the skills that we are familiar with every year, so that our citizens will no longer have to I'm worried about food and clothing."

Bacchus was as excited as Sparrow just now.

Alan smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't receive a prompt from the system, so he didn't know if he really needed to be familiar with it every year.

But it doesn't matter, it's only a year, maybe a year will not be used.

"Very well, Bacchus, start today, let's start the experiment in Moorland.""

Alan said with a smile: "In addition, as for the question of earthworms, um, so, you stay after today's meeting.

Bacchus nodded: "I see, great archduke.

After Bacchus finished reporting, among the remaining ministers, Ms. Jennifer, who was in charge of ships, fisheries, and seafood, also stood up.

"Grand Duke, spring has come completely, and there are many seaside ports and cities in the south that need your attention. 99

Ms. Jennifer is probably the most inconspicuous person here, but it is undeniable that she is very capable. Alan heard that he has reached a lot of contracts with principalities such as Hilton in the north.

The landlocked principality has a huge demand for seafood and other products, especially delicious food such as caviar, and there are only two principalities under the Norton Kingdom near the sea, and the seafood market is the home of the Principality of Lane and the Principality of Alan.

The Principality of Lane had a huge advantage in seafood products because it conquered the Principality of the Blue Moon before.

In this case, it is not easy for Ms. Jennifer to get a large number of orders.

"Oh, Ms. Jennifer, of course I won't forget the ports and cities of the South. 35

Alan said with a smile.

"Grand Duke, the coast of the Principality of Alan is much longer than that of the Principality of Lane. There are four counties in the coastal area. The coastal area is very flat and there are no mountains, which is a very good advantage.

"For a long time, the Principality of Lane and the Principality of Alan have been competitors in the seafood market, and we have a natural advantage."

"But now we are at a disadvantage, the Principality of Lane has the territory of the Principality of the Blue Moon, and their maritime territory can produce a large amount of seafood products every day.

"Our market will be squeezed to the limit.

Ms. Jennifer said with some sighs, seafood is a fresh word.

When seafood products come out of the sea, they will be a lot worse one day later.

Although artificial farming can make seafood survive, the taste will be a little bit worse.

This means that the seafood market has always only been (bcde) large enough to sell in some duchies in the southern part of Norton Kingdom.

Of course, this is not to say that landlocked countries do not have seafood. The countries in the landlocked countries are all powerful countries, and they naturally have their own channels.

Alan's current market is Norton Kingdom.

Now that the Kingdom of Lane has risen strongly, the Principality of Alan is in a disadvantageous position in the seafood market.

"Is that so? I see, Ms. Jennifer.

Alan nodded, in fact, he had already thought about this issue.

"I'll take a trip to the southern territories with you in a while. 35

Alan said with a smile, and the earthworm gave him a huge surprise. Similarly, Alan still has two new species in his hands that have not been used.

It was originally planned to be used, but Alan was busy during this time, and it was winter again, and the fishery and seafood markets were resting, so Alan was not too anxious.

Now that it's spring, Alan feels it's time to release his second species.

"I see, Your Highness.

Jennifer said respectfully, she also understood the ability of the monarch, and all the problems in the duchy can be easily handled by the monarch.

For Alan, Jennifer is very trusting. When the archduke was still an earl, the water park plan proposed by the archduke surprised her.

If it weren't for the stage of digesting the principality now, and many things are very busy, she would have to take the initiative to apply to continue the water park plan.

After all, this plan is for the nobles, and the nobles' money is very profitable.

"Anyone else have questions?"

Alan glanced at everyone below.

"If there is no problem, let's end it.

Now that there are no problems, Alan is ready to end the meeting.

Soon the ministers left, and Alan left the hall with Marco and Bacchus, and came to the place where Alan lived.

"Grandpa Edward, I need some iron boxes."

Alan spoke to Butler Edward on the side.

"As you wish, my lord.

Edward immediately ordered and began to prepare the iron box for Alan. As for what it was used for, of course, it was to hold the earth.

Since Bacchus has said that earthworms are good things, it is spring again, and Alan is going to spread some earthworms in his territory.

As for the specific arrangement, Alan just let Bacchus do it.

Soon, dozens of iron boxes were ready.

Alan smiled, and immediately purchased enough earthen worms from the system. Basically, each county can be divided into at least 3,000 pieces.

Watching Alan put the earthworms into the iron box, Bacchus was shocked. To this day, he still didn't understand how Alan created the magical creatures like earthworms out of thin air.

But he doesn't care about these, he cares about the number of earthworms.

With these earthworms, Bacchus has the confidence to push the Principality of Alan to the position of an agricultural power.
