King’s Kingdom - Chapter 273
The current Lanyin royal family has more than 76,000 sheep and more than 25,000 cattle. If this fertility rate is used to calculate, within three years, as long as large-scale slaughter is not carried out, the number of sheep will be at least 25,000. up to 150,000.
The number of cattle is smaller and the fertility rate is lower, but three years is enough to expand the number to 40,000.
The wood elves are naturally good at cultivating plants and raising animals. Unlike the flame elves, they are more inclined to logistics and long-range attacks. Although the melee methods of the past are not weak, compared to the flame elves’ magic and powerful The body is still different.
If it weren’t for the fact that the number of wood elves in the hands of Theodosius was too small at this stage, he would definitely not let these people only raise cattle and sheep.
It is a pity that the talents of elves in raising animals do not take effect on war horses, just as humans cannot make elves secret medicines and elves bows, and cannot forge mithril even with the same means, although these elves are friendly Animals and plants, but the horse is a natural resistance to them.
Even beasts such as mules, which are related to horses, hate the approach of elves very much. It is a kind of disgust felt at the genetic level.
This makes Theodosius feel very sorry. If the talents of these elves can take effect and make the horses of war horses can speed up the breeding, it would be better, but unfortunately all this is just his delusion.
What Theodosius values most now is actually the elf druids, who found that this group of people can not only promote the rapid growth of plants, but also slightly change the characteristics of some plants to some extent…
He immediately and keenly discovered that this group of people is simply the best person to cultivate seeds for plants and cultivate high-yield crops.
Just imagine, they rapidly boost plant growth, and after reaching maturity, they can change their characteristics slightly, such as a batch of wheat that matures within two days of their initiation, and then use the ability to change the characteristics to increase the grain of the wheat.
Pick out the plants with the highest yield from this batch of wheat grains, and then increase the yield by triggering the change of characteristics, so that excellent seeds can be produced in the shortest time!
So under the instruction of Theodosius, this group of elf druids put all their energy on it. Although they also have excellent ability to raise livestock, even better than elf shepherds, but in the end, improving seeds The benefits are far greater than when they go to herds.
The time just arrived on February 10, 869 of the Hircati calendar. The fourth round of breeding wheat had matured, and Theodosius personally went to the small experimental farm where the druids were located to inspect the work.
“Your Majesty…” These elf druids kneeled on one knee respectfully, touching the **** of Theodos westward courtiers.
All the elves in the Raine kingdom are his subjects, and the elves king Mutaliaan has transferred their monarchy to Theodosius.
For this group of elves, Theodosius’ attitude is quite good, and they are basically the same as humans.
First of all, elves are also a race that values promises. As long as they make an oath, there are very few who do not keep them, so they don’t need to worry about loyalty issues. Secondly, these elves are indeed good-looking online.
Even if it’s just an ordinary elf, its appearance is considered to be beyond average among humans, regardless of gender.
Moreover, these elves value class, status, and etiquette very seriously. The kneeling ceremony of the elf Druid just now is proof, so Theodosius valued them very much.
“How is the situation?” Theodosius motioned everyone to get up, and then asked a person in charge here.
“As you can guess, these plants do have quite good improvement value. At present, it is the fourth round of improved planting, and the yield has increased by about 20%. Under the condition that the nutritional value and fruit size remain the same, the fruit of a single plant is It has increased from thirty-two to the current thirty-nine to forty, and if we continue to optimize the cultivation, we should be able to continue to increase the yield, but we cannot guarantee that there will be no other problems!”
“Hmm…” Theodosius nodded, and he was very satisfied with such results. The 20% increase in grain production may not seem to have much effect. If this unit is raised to the national level, it will produce Profits are not a star and a half.
Theodosius thought for a while, then asked, “What do you mean by not guaranteeing that there will be no other problems? Have there been any problems with these wheats?”
“Yes, Your Majesty…” The faces of several elf druids also showed embarrassing expressions.
“In fact, we haven’t been able to solve this problem yet!”
“What the **** is going on?” Theodosius frowned slightly. If this thing can’t be eaten, it’s really a big problem. If it’s eaten, it will have any effect on people, and it will only be a fatal flaw.
“That is, after planting two generations of the seeds we cultivate, the yield will completely return to the same yield as ordinary wheat, because we change its characteristics only because of the use of magic, the magic of changing the characteristics is invalid, and the effect of increasing production is also just disappeared…”
“What do you mean?” Theodosius still didn’t quite understand what the group said.
“That is to say, after these grain seeds are sown and harvested, they can only be sown again. The next time they are sown, they will not have such a high yield, but will return to the same yield as ordinary wheat!”
“So that’s it…” Theodosius still didn’t stretch his brows~www.mtlnovel.com~ Does it have any effect on the human body? Will there be any consequences if I eat it? “
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, it won’t have any effect on the human body. Apart from the degeneration of the seeds, there are no other problems!” The druids answered one after another.
“Understood!” Theodosius nodded, this so-called consequence was much better than he thought, at least it would have no effect on the human body, and it would be unpleasant to accept that it would be unpleasant to eat fire snakes.
It’s not unacceptable if it just can’t be used as a seed for a long time, but needs to cultivate new seeds every year.
After all, he still has a bit of common sense about agriculture. He knows that the high-yield crops in his original world also require the purchase of high-quality seeds, and the two crops produced cannot be used as grain seeds for the second year. At least he can grow a little bit. Much stronger.
So Theodosius reassured the druids with a smile and said, “Don’t take this kind of thing to heart, you have done a good job, and then try to see if you can further increase the output while maintaining the same quality, If I can do it, I will give the meritorious person a real noble title, and then reward the land!”
