Chapter 26 Ideas and Opportunities

The main grain crop in Plandal is very similar to wheat on earth. It is a crop with high starch content. People here call it "Kadal". However, for convenience, Donn decided to regard it as wheat.

Although wheat does not require a lot of water like rice, the land in the farmland is obviously dry and cracked, but the wheat is already half a foot high, and it is the time when water is needed. How can the yield be high if it continues like this?

"It's a jubilant month now, and the midsummer month is coming soon. The temperature is rising. It's normal for the land to dry out a little, right?"

After all, Fiona was born aristocratic and had never planted a field, so she could not see the problem.

"That's not the case, there is the Emerald River next to it, but the farmland does this. This is very abnormal... Wait, haven't you dug a drainage channel?"

Tang En's next sentence was said to the farmers next to him.

"Direction? What is that?"

The farmers looked confused.

"Dig a canal to lure the water from the Emerald River for irrigation."

Tang En was very surprised. No matter how huge the gap between the two worlds is, it is impossible not to know these basic things? No matter how stupid a farmer encounters drought, he knows to go to the river to get water and irrigate? How big is it to dig a canal? Can you even imagine this?

A civilization has been developing for so many years, so it is not still at the level of relying on the weather to make a living...

"Oh, I understand, but Lord Lord, that's impossible."

At this time, Elsa interrupted and said, "The terrain on the Emerald River is lower than here, and the water in the digging channel cannot flow."

"I see!"

Tang En suddenly realized and then frowned. There is no water pump or sprinkler in this world. Although there are more convenient magic, it is impossible for a magician to be condescendingly in the farmland to be an artificial rainfall master.

Suddenly, Tang En clapped his hands: "By the way, the waterwheel! Why did you forget this?"

"Waterwheel?"

When he heard another strange noun popping up from Tang En's mouth, Fiona Elsa and the others were confused again.

As mentioned earlier, the main power of this world is controlled by the Apocalypse. The Apocalypse, that is, those who can awaken their talents and become professionals, warriors, magicians, are all Apocalypse.

With these Apocalypse, ordinary people's development of the basic power of the world, that is, the development of physics, is in a stagnant state. When encountering difficult problems, either the warrior Apocalypse solves them with brute force or the magician solves them with magical power. Ordinary people rarely think about how they can solve their difficulties.

Don't believe it? Look at the aboriginal people in this world. Without magic, the gnomes and goblins have already climbed out nuclear bombs ten thousand years ago!

Now dwarfs and goblins are so weak, because they have blown up their hometown and the technology tree!

As a result, it was the turn of other races to come from behind.

It is an indisputable fact that the strength of individuals limits the growth of group strength.

Danny of the militia, his father was the miller, but his mill used not wind power, but animal power, which was inefficient and had to feed livestock, so the cost would naturally be high. If there were windmills, it would save a lot of money.

"A waterwheel is to use the power of water to raise the water to a high place, and then use the gravity of the water itself to make it flow into the farmland... Forget it, it's useless to tell you."

Tang En knew that he was wasting his efforts when he looked at their blank expressions. He should go back and discuss with Brian. The dwarf and the dwarf often interacted with each other, so he might be able to understand the wonderfulness.[e1]

"Don't worry, I will find a way to solve this problem. Water will soon irrigate the farmland, so don't worry."

Tang En smiled at the farmers: "Believe me, the harvest this year's harvest will definitely be very good."

"We believe in you..."

After the farmer finished speaking, he looked at Tang En vainly, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say it.

"What's wrong? Is there any other problem?"

The farmer mustered up the courage to ask, "Lord, we saw a notice on the bulletin board in the square this morning. You announced that you will have a half-percent tax cut. Is this true?"

So efficient?

Tang En glanced at Fiona with a little surprise, and Fiona raised her face proudly, as if she was looking forward to his praise.

Tang En withdrew his gaze and smiled at the farmers, "Of course it's true."

The proud Fiona's face froze and she stomped her feet hatefully, this guy!

"That's great! It's really great!"

The farmers cheered when they heard this, and each of them held each other's rough hands and shed tears of excitement.

Half a share...it's just a half a share of tax cuts...it's so excited.

Tang En's heart was very complicated. Farmers, no matter which world they were from, were so simple. What they wanted was to eat enough and then put a little money in their hands. Unfortunately, such a humble wish was difficult to realize.

"You believe me, trust me, and then I will definitely bring you a happy life."

Donn assured them very seriously and very seriously: "In the next period, you will see the changes in Ellington, and I promise you will witness the rise of Ellington."

Elsa blinked her eyes, her heart full of excitement. At this moment, she felt that Tang En was really full of powerful charm!

Iriya next to her thoughts were very simple. She thought that Brother Tang En was a good person, so everyone would like him. Children's thinking was that simple.

After walking around the fields and remembering the situation of the farmland in their hearts, they walked towards the southwest of Ellington. Not far away, after descending a small slope, they saw the Emerald River.

On the west side of the Emerald River is dense forests, with thriving trees spreading into the mountains ahead, forming an endless sea of ​​forests, where is the Emerald Forest, which is the Elf’s Land.

On the east side is the boundary of Ellington. Large areas of vegetation and moist shrubs grow on the river bank, as well as some relatively sparse and low trees, which form a sharp contrast with the opposite bank.

"It's right here!"

Yiliya waved her little hand happily: "There are so many growing here, mint grass."

Tang En took a deep breath, and the fragrance of mint floated in the fresh air, which made him feel refreshed. Looking around, there was a lot of mint growing on the river bank, which made Tang En feel relieved, and at the same time, other thoughts also arose.

The climate here is so suitable for mint growth, that mint can be cultivated as a cash crop in Ellington, and everyone is mobilized to grow it together.

Then, we will make an essential oil extraction equipment, which can be used to process mint spices, mint candies, mint soap, mint toothpaste, mint soda, etc.

Perhaps, these mints can make a fortune for yourself?

Tang En's eyes shone golden light. In his eyes, this piece of mint grass was not an unknown plant, but a bright golden coin!

"These eye-catching grass...well, what's the best thing about mint grass?"

Elsa asked curiously: "Although it smells nice little, after a large area matures, the surrounding area is full of that smell, which is so pungent."

"Haha, what's good about you?"

Donne laughed and patted Elsa on the head: "Elsa, I say these mint grass can bring a lot of money to Ellington in the future. Do you believe it?"

Elsa hesitated, but Iriya said without hesitation: "I believe everything my elder brother said!"

"Oh? Are you not afraid that I will lie to you?"

"Not afraid! Because the eldest brother is a good person!"

"Good guy..."

Tang En touched his nose: "Well... Big brother invites you to eat lollipops in the future."

"Lollipop? What is that?"

"You'll know in the future...Fiona?"

Don En noticed that Fiona seemed to be in a daze and called her a little strangely.

"You said, can these mint grass make money?"

As soon as Fiona turned around, Donne was stunned. He thought he was already rich enough, but he didn't expect that Fiona's performance was even more exaggerated when she heard that these mint grass could make money!

She has completely entered a state of fanaticism!

"Lord! What are the functions of these mint grasses? Can they increase the speed of meditation? Or does it have a special effect for magicians? Can they restore magic power? Or can they be used as special casting materials?"

Fiona asked a lot of questions like a cannon. Since she knew that Tang En was a magician, she subconsciously thought that these mint grass had a special effect on the mage.

“It’s useless, it’s useless…”

Tang En wiped his cold sweat: "This is just an ordinary plant..."

"A common plant?"

"Yes, it's very ordinary, but the fragrance is quite special."

Fiona suddenly lost interest: "It's just that..."

For the people of Plandal, whether a thing has great value depends entirely on whether that thing has an effect on the Apocalypse.

For example, the reason why magic metal is so precious is that it can accommodate the power of elements well, and the equipment it creates can greatly improve combat effectiveness.

The reason why some herbs are so expensive is that they can be refined into various potions in the hands of alchemists, which can improve combat effectiveness or heal injuries.

A completely ordinary plant that makes money with a special smell?

Fiona scoffed at this. Even if Tang En was a very powerful magician, she felt that Tang En was bragging.

Don’t forget that the Jin Qiangwei family started out in business. In terms of business, her sense of smell is much sharper than Tang En.

"Don't you believe it?"

Tang En hummed, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Tang En said with a smile: "If these mint grass can make money, you will work for me for the rest of your life in the future. How about it?"

"What's wrong with that!"

Fiona's heart was thumping and said as if nothing had happened: "But, how much is the so-called money?"
