Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 18

This means that Ross needs to open at least 20 hectares of farmland in order to continue to develop the entire triangular trade area.

However, Ross can buy drugs that greatly reduce the time it takes for crops to mature.

Ross led dozens of squire knights to the largest crop field in the Eye of Hope Territory.

The Eye of Hope has a total of six hectares of farmland, and five hectares of undeveloped farmland.

Ross, on the other hand, cares more about output than quantity.

For ordinary farmland, according to the environment and weather of this continent, one hectare of farmland can produce three thousand kilograms of crops.

Twenty hectares can yield 60,000 catties, which is only the amount of one crop. Ross can also use medicine to shorten the process. The crops that originally ripen only once in half a year, Ross can let them ripen once in three months.

However, even in this case, Ross has to open up the remaining farmland so that he can be self-sufficient without buying other people’s food.

Soon, Ross calculated that the 11 hectares of the Eye of Hope, plus the 6 hectares on the other side of the Hand of Hope Territory, would require 3 hectares of land to open up farmland.

Ross plans to first find a piece of land suitable for reclamation in the Eye of Hope and transfer all the crops here.

In the future, this will be my own food center.

Ross walked around and kept walking around the stone wall.

With a thud.

Ross stopped. He felt a quagmire under his feet. Just as Ross wanted to pull it out, he was suddenly shocked by the soft ground.

“Yes, isn’t this the best place to grow vein fruit?”

The vein fruit is a very satiety plant. Compared with ordinary crops such as wheat, the vein fruit only needs one, which can meet the food intake for a day.

And an ordinary vein fruit tree can even bear two hundred fruits.

The most important thing is that if the leaf vein fruit tree can also be accelerated by using the medicine, it only takes less than a month to complete a harvest.

Ross thought about it, and immediately asked fifty farmers to gather to open an experimental field, starting from Ross’s footprints and extending outward by one hundred meters, one tenth of a hectare.

Ross first bought fifteen veined fruit trees, which cost him five hundred gold coins.

It’s not cheap either.

Vein fruit trees have a lifespan of only three years, but during this period they can bear twenty times and produce more than 4,000 fruits, and the fruit trees occupy very little land.

Ross glanced strangely at the land dug out by farmers. The color of these soils was very different from ordinary brown and black.

The land around here is naked black, without any color matching, just pitch black.

Ross remembered that he seemed to have seen this color of soil somewhere, but he couldn’t remember it for a while.

Soon, Ross ordered fifteen leaf-veined fruit trees to be planted, and the saplings of these fruit trees began to grow.

Three days later, Liros first upgraded the stone fort to a small fort, and then arranged a series of military expansions.

First of all, the expansion of foreign enrollment in the military camp has become once a month, and then the treatment of civilians who join the military will be improved.

The most obvious one is tax cuts.

Therefore, more and more families want to send their children to the military camp.

In just a few days, Ross’s military camp has recruited more than 600 people. After two months of training, these people can enter the establishment and participate in combat.

And Babur came to tell Ross, “Lord Lord, your veined fruit tree is bearing fruit…”

Rose came to the test field with a few other knights in surprise.

how can that be possible…

Ross murmured that the metabolic time of veined fruit trees is indeed much lower than that of ordinary crops, but it should take a full two months to bear fruit.

Even if there are a few in the test field that have been supplemented with probiotics, it will take a month to shorten the process by half.

Logically speaking, it doesn’t make sense to be so short…

And Ross saw with his own eyes that all the fifteen leaf-veined fruit trees were blooming, and five of the fruit trees that had been sprayed with the activator actually produced red fruit.

Ross picked a leaf vein fruit at random, took a look at it in his hand.

With a very ruddy appearance, it feels like the king of fruits when you squeeze it.

Ross took a bite and ate it. Immediately, the juice of the fruit burst out in his mouth, and a strong sweet smell made Ross a little carried away…

This taste is also the best of the best.

Ross glanced at the tree, which was actually full of fruit.

After just one bite, I felt full.

Ross said, “I remembered, isn’t this the black land?”

Ross had seen black land in the imperial capital before, and this kind of land is generally used to grow crops that can reach multiplied maturity.

For example, the maturity period of wheat is half a year, and it only takes three months to plant on black soil.

And Ross has not heard of anyone planting fruit trees in the black soil, this is the first time.

Moreover, most of the kingdom’s black land is near the imperial capital and is firmly controlled, and almost no nobles own a piece of black land.

Ross’s one-tenth hectare of black land can be described as hard-to-find good luck. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

However, Ross also sent people to look around to see if there was any missing black land.

But as Ross expected, there is only such a piece of black land.

One-tenth of a hectare…

Ross thought about it and said, “All the veined fruit trees are planted, how many can you plant?”

Someone immediately replied respectfully, “Go back to the lord, at least 500 seeds can be planted.”

Ross was shocked, there were so many?

Seems to be the same, Ross thought. Although the vein fruit tree can bear a lot of fruit, the tree is not very big.

Occupying less land, naturally more can be planted.

And it can bear fruit once every three days, which means that the spawning agent is also effective on the leaf vein fruit tree, otherwise the cycle will not be shorter than two weeks…

This shows that either the quality of the black soil in Ross is better than that of the Imperial Palace, or the effect of the activating agent on the leaf vein fruit trees is better than that of wheat.

In short, for Ross, the food problem is temporarily solved.

However, Ross still intends to reclaim ten hectares of land to grow food.

Ross isn’t going to pin all his hopes on Veinfruit.

Ross did the math, one vein fruit can produce 500 veins at a time, and 500 vein fruit trees can produce 25,000 vein fruit.

“That is to say, you can get 25,000 in three days, and one is equivalent to a day’s food.”

In this way, the food for 8,000 people was all solved at one time.

Ross thought, and came to the machine that irrigated the farm.

Ross ordered: “Farmers immediately go to reclaim the land for farming, plant all the six hectares of land that was wasted with wheat, and then find another five hectares of land to build farmland.”
