Starting Life as a Baron

After more than a month, it entered the season of late winter and early spring. The thick clouds above the sky finally dissipated, and the climate began to warm up.

In the past month, Alan has successively built the junior magician training ground, the junior potionist laboratory, the junior alchemist laboratory, the junior wizard tower and other extraordinary buildings. Of course, these were built in the new capital.

These extraordinary buildings are treasures, and Alan spent almost five million gold coins just to build some of them.

If you want to build such extraordinary buildings on a large scale, the requirements for wealth are really high.

In addition, Alan gritted his teeth and unlocked the intermediate library, the intermediate magician training ground, and the intermediate knight training ground.

This cost Alan 1.5 million merit points.

At the moment, he only had 300,000 meritorious deeds left in his hand.

After unlocking three mid-level extraordinary buildings, Alan built two more training grounds in the palace of the new capital.

The two training grounds are located in the depths of the palace, which are prepared by Alan for himself or for the sanctuary-level powerhouses under his command in the future.

After all, with his growth rate, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a king, or even an emperor of the empire.

He did not upgrade the primary knight training field and the magician training field that were originally built outside the palace.

After all, that was what Alan opened to most of his low-level knights and magicians to practice.

A primary level is enough, and the sanctuary powerhouse is unlikely to be willing to practice with some low-level knights and magicians.

Therefore, Alan rebuilt two training grounds. The location was designed in the palace, separate from the ordinary knights, which was enough to reflect the status of the sanctuary-level powerhouse.

Although it is said that there is no sanctuary under him now, it does not mean that there will be no sanctuary in the future.

In addition, on the library side, Alan has been upgraded to an intermediate-level extraordinary knowledge library. After the upgrade, the exterior of the library does not seem to have changed much, but the overall size is larger. After all, there are also a lot of intermediate-level extraordinary knowledge.

At this moment, there are already some buildings in the palace, which were completed by the orc engineering team under the guidance of human designers.

The combination of human wisdom and orc power creates a beautiful spark.

Alan is very satisfied with the planning and construction of the palace.

In about four or five months, the palace can be completely built, and by that time, the periphery should be almost completed.

In other words, after four or five months, Alan can move into the new palace.

It's not that Alan hasn't thought about using a building accelerator card.

But... who made him have squandered a lot of merit points?

With the remaining 300,000 Merit Points, Alan thought about it and still didn't move. There was nothing he could do. He kept these Merit Points for backup.

As for the building accelerator card... Alan can only give up.

"Bacchus, I haven't seen you for more than a month, how is it?"

Alan sits on the throne, and below are ministers who are already familiar with their respective positions.

Alan called them about once a week.

The Minister of Agriculture, Bacchus, who had not appeared for a month, finally appeared in the meeting hall again after missing several meetings.

"Respected Grand Duke, the Moorland has completely solved the problem of desertified land, and the fertility of the land is increasing rapidly every day. I believe that in another month, the entire Moorland will become the most fertile land in the Duchy of Alan.

Bacchus bowed reverently to Alan.

"The ability of earthworms is incredible..."

Backus told Alan what he had observed.

Soon, Bacchus' words attracted the attention of all the ministers present.

"What an amazing species, what kind of creature is this?"

Sparrow's eyes lit up. You must know that this shrewd finance minister was ready to give up the tributes from the Moore Land and the surrounding counties.

In his opinion, whether or not Alan solved the source there, the land was eventually abandoned.

There should be no way to cultivate crops for at least a few decades.

Unexpectedly, Alan and Bacchus gave him a surprise.

"Unbelievable, the god of war blesses the Duchy of Alan! Even the Grand Duke of Shake is helpless with this kind of natural disaster, but you, Grand Duke, can solve it directly! This is the will of God, and the great and holy Grand Duke is the real master of this land. 35

When Sparrow marveled at the magic of earthworms, Oliver, who was behind him, was already kneeling on the ground, his chubby body was just sticking to the ground, and his bare head was also sticking to the ground. This was a very high-standard salute. .

Generally speaking, a courtier only needs to kneel halfway to salute the Grand Duke. Oliver's posture of kneeling with his legs and his whole body against the ground is rarely seen, except when offering sacrifices to gods or receiving great favors. Only after that did the lower-ranking person return to bow down to the upper-ranking person like this.

Even Sparrow and Marco have never bowed to Alan so devoutly.

Oliver suddenly knelt on the main hall, shocking Bacchus, who was excitedly talking about the earth and earth problem.

Back then, Bacchus always thought that he was the most devout man under Alan.

Now he doubts himself a little.

Oliver's operation can be called a model of dog licking.

Alan glanced at Oliver, and then the corner of his mouth twitched: "Oliver, don't use your fat body to rub against my clean floor, damn, it's enough for you to spend your mind on finances!

･･･ Ask for flowers ･･･

Alan's words made Oliver tremble, and the bald finance minister hurriedly stood up, for fear that Alan would chop off his head if he was unhappy.

"Grand Duke, I want to continue to observe in the Moorland for a while, just now the first snow is melting, and spring is coming, I want to see if the land with earth and earth can keep the fertility of the land after cultivating crops,

"If the soil and earth can ensure that the fertility of the land remains unchanged or decreases very little, then we should be able to achieve three crops a year, or even four crops a year. If we can have magic technology, then five crops are not unreasonable. can do.

Bacchus' love and study of agriculture was unparalleled.

"That is to say, it can be directly changed from two crops a year to three crops a year, or even five crops?!"

.0

Alan smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, the land without the spirit of nature can only be harvested twice a year. It is better to plant crops of different seasons, that is, twice a year. 55

But most of the time, it is still ripe once a year. Although there is a spirit of nature in this world, there is no technology that can maintain the fertility of the land. Even if there is manure watering, it is absolutely impossible to ensure that the fertility of the land will not decline. Most of the time, it is once a year. Alternating between ripening and twice a year, this can maximize the use of the land, and will not cause the land to lose its fertility quickly and be abandoned.

“Are you sure you can sow three to five harvests a year?35

If it can achieve a stable harvest of two crops a year, it will be a great success for the Principality of Alan.

If three crops a year means that today's Alan Principality will usher in a bumper harvest, the wallets of the commoners and the treasury of Alan will be plumped quickly.

If it can be cooked four times a year... this is equivalent to more than doubling the level of agricultural production in the Principality of Alan. In this agricultural-dominated world, the development and growth of agriculture is equivalent to a direct reflection of economic growth.

The GDP of civilians will skyrocket, and the Alan Principality may quickly become the richest country in the surrounding area. We are talking about just relying on agriculture, and relying on agriculture, it can become the richest Principality around.

Alan had to be moved and sighed with emotion, he never thought that the earthworm was so powerful.

Originally, he only used earthworms as fertilizer-making creatures.

Unexpectedly, the earthworm really gave him a big surprise, which is unbelievable. You must know that even if there was fertilizer in the world before he crossed, he couldn't achieve five crops a year, right?! Zhang.
