System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1240 - 333: The Price of Cooperation

Listening to Master Lynn’s words, Wilbur’s body couldn’t stop trembling.

One of the core managers of agricultural production?

An agent?

Wilbur’s legs bent, and he knelt directly on the lime road beneath, responding respectfully.

"Thank you, Lord."

"Wilbur will definitely do his utmost, not to betray your trust!"

Lynn nodded slightly and spoke.

"Rise."

"I will arrange for the scribe to issue a decree as soon as possible, informing everyone in the territory!"

The moment Wilbur stood up, he quickly bent at the waist, respectfully saluting.

"Yes, Master."

After instructing Wilbur a few words, Lynn directly dismissed him.

The arable land in the Lynn Territory reached three hundred thousand acres!

Aside from appointing Wilbur as the Agricultural Officer of the territory.

Wilbur also needs to appoint some farmers with a certain management ability and experience in deep plowing as assistants.

To assist Wilbur in managing and supervising the farmers in cultivating and planting labor.

Otherwise.

With the three hundred thousand acres of arable land and five thousand farmers in the territory.

It’s definitely difficult for Wilbur alone to manage them properly.

If in the early stage of low production capacity and food shortage.

Lynn would naturally devote all his energy to agricultural production.

Because only by producing enough food to guarantee the residents’ needs.

Can Lynn have the ability and qualification to consider developing other industries.

Now.

The number of farmers has increased dramatically, with the advanced cultivation technologies of oxen and heavy plow, and the planting methods of deep plowing and the three-field system.

Agricultural production within the territory has already gotten on track.

In terms of agricultural production, the only thing Lynn needs to do is to find ways to improve the productivity of crops on the farmland.

For example, by consuming Energy Stones, using the [Crop Variety] panel to improve crop seed quality.

For example, producing mineral fertilizers that can enhance the fertility of the soil in the farmland.

And so on.

Except when Lynn wants to grind skills experience, or when there are abnormal weather and other emergencies.

Lynn can completely hand over agricultural production to Wilbur for management and production.

Retracting his gaze from the farmers in the distance who were plowing and planting.

Lynn stepped forward, continuing to walk down the lime road.

A moment later.

Lynn stopped his steps.

In front of Lynn was a field of potato crops growing densely.

Lynn moved his foot, stepping into the field, squatting down to inspect.

Beneath clusters of yellow-green stems, clusters of yellow-brown tubers were growing, which were about to enter their maturity.

These were the [Emperor Potatoes] Lynn had previously planted!

Even though most of the potatoes were buried in the soil.

The bulging soil made it clear that they were indeed potatoes.

Lynn’s gaze swept around, under most of the plants, clusters of potatoes were accumulating starch, growing rapidly.

By the end of September, or the beginning of October.

The planted [Emperor Potatoes] can enter the maturity phase and be harvested!

As for how many pounds of [Emperor Potatoes] could be harvested.

Lynn could not yet know.

But.

This also proved Lynn’s idea.

Even in farmland with low soil fertility, potatoes can grow and have a decent yield.

Once this batch of [Emperor Potatoes] is harvested.

They can completely be used as seeds to continue expanding the planting scale of [Emperor Potatoes].

Lynn also understood.

Because the planting cycle of potatoes allows only for planting once a year.

It’s unrealistic to rapidly expand the planting scale.

It can only be done step by step.

But compared to directly using a large number of Energy Stones from the [Special Seed Store] for exchange.

It’s much quicker and cost-effective to grow and obtain more [Emperor Potato] seeds through planting.

Lynn rose from the potato field, walking a circle, inspecting.

Confirming that the potatoes were growing healthily.

Only then did Lynn step out and leave the land field.

Walking towards the faraway cotton fields.

Whether potatoes or cotton, they are crucial to Lynn!

Waiting for the large-scale planting of potatoes to be completed and a large harvest to be produced...

With a yield of nearly two thousand pounds per acre!

To a certain extent, it could solve the hunger problem of the residents of the Lynn Territory!

If the large-scale planting of cotton is completed and a large number of cotton is harvested.

Combined with the new spinning machines placed in the workshops, it can completely solve the clothing and warmth issue for the territory’s residents.

Not to mention.

The large-scale production of potatoes and cotton.

What impact it may have on Kasong City, the Marquisate of Dukas, the Kara Empire, or even the entire Garonia Continent.

Just the fact of sufficient food and clothing, living without worries.

Is enough to make the residents of the Lynn Territory loyally dedicate themselves to him.

Arriving at the large cotton fields protected by branches and mud.

Lynn strode into them, observing carefully.

On the plants, many cotton bolls had grown.

Some individual plants, having absorbed enough fertility and salt.

The cotton bolls on the plants cracked open, revealing the pure white silky cotton fibers within...

By the end of September, once the potatoes are harvested from the field.

Entering early October, it’s just right to start harvesting the vast cotton fields in front!

Similarly, after surveying a circle, confirming the cotton hasn’t been affected by pests and diseases.

Lynn took steps out of the field, stepping onto the lime road, heading towards Wilbur, who was leading the group of farmers in the distance.
