The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor
Chapter 522: 522: Magic Transformation Seed
In the end, Aslan could only ask Gwennaville to show the paper airplane to Merlin and Nigor.
He didn't want to continue wasting time here.
In fact, he has already asked Merlin and Nigor to develop projectiles. For example, the last time Verdillon went to rescue Cruze's bullet airship, that was their experimental work.
Because Aslan didn't understand aerodynamics at all, it would be easier to study magic airships from scratch to develop airplanes.
After all, there are not no magic airships on the mainland, there are only three in the magic capital, and there is also one in the Arizona Magic Empire.
But now he doesn't need to take care of these things. Gwennaville, an enthusiastic little girl, is there to help, which makes Nigor and Merlin headaches.
At the luncheon, Aslan once again invited the Duke of Durandal to dinner.
The two parties had a very happy conversation. Aslan brought out the herbicides and pesticides at the right time, as well as the newly improved wheat and corn crops.
"Marquis of Aslan, are you?" Duke Durandal looked suspiciously at what was in front of him, and he couldn't understand what Aslan meant for a long time.
He might understand the two bottles of medicine, but what does corn and wheat mean?
As a qualified aristocratic master, it is very rare for him to recognize wheat. He can't see the wheat in front of him at all, and what is the difference between seeing wheat in the ordinary day.
"One of these two agents is an insecticide, and the other is an herbicide, which can be used in agricultural production. The name of the wheat is'Billy No. 2', which evolved from the basis of Billy City wheat, and the output is that of common wheat Four times, this is Heilong corn, which was introduced and evolved from the Asian subcontinent. The annual yield per mu is about 3,000 catties."
For the rest, Aslan doesn't need to be too clear, Duke Durandal already understands Aslan's meaning, and at the same time understands why the grain output in Mellocks province is so high.
If these two crops are introduced into the northern provinces, the food problem in the northern provinces can be resolved to a great extent.
Duke Durandal suddenly remembered that before he left, Duke Uzmi had mentioned to him about the purchase of chemical fertilizers from the province of Melox, the kind of magical item that could increase the fertility of the land.
"What does the Marquis of Aslan mean to cooperate in the grain business?" Duke Durandal's thoughts turned sharply, and he was still calm on the surface.
"Are you interested? With these things, under the guidance of my agricultural staff, it is enough to increase the yield of grain in the territory more than ten times. Your Excellency should have noticed that there has never been a fallow field in my territory!" Aslan smiled and groaned. Said.
Duke Durandal opened his eyes wide, and he finally realized the point of the matter.
In order to ensure the fertility of the land, most farmers divide their fields into three parts and cultivate them in turns. This wastes two-thirds of the land. With the addition of high-yield crops, it is not empty talk.
At the current price of food, it is a bit too much to say that it is growing gold, but it is not a problem to say that it is growing silver.
"Marquis of Aslan! What do you want from me?" Duke Durandal asked.
"Very simple!" Aslan took out a contract from the magic space and handed it to Duke Durandal.
This is a cooperation treaty. Aslan leases the land of the Duke of Durandal to grow food, and Aslan produces the technology and seeds, Durandal will also send people to farm. After the event is completed, 90% of the grain belongs to Aslan, and the rest Ten percent is the Duke of Durandal.
This agreement seems unfair, but in fact it is not a loss for Duke Durandal. If it is true as Aslan said, the output can reach more than ten times, and the 10% harvest will be more than before.
This can be regarded as a kind of technology in exchange for income. Aslan’s contract was signed for ten years, but the Duke Durandal forced it to change to five years.
Duke Durandal knew very well that as soon as five years passed, all the land developed by Aslan would belong to him, and the officials sent by the serfs from Aslan were also trained to become experts in farming.
When he arrives, he can obtain the food base left by Aslan only step by step, and then expand the planting area based on this base. Maybe he can take this opportunity to become the largest food supplier in the Kingdom of Cleveland.
As long as that step is achieved, then the price of food in the Kingdom of Cleveland can be completely controlled by him.
Under the business operations of the Maxim Chamber of Commerce these years, the mainland aristocrats have also learned more or less advanced business knowledge, such as the huge profits of industrial monopoly.
The two sides fought **** the distribution of food and the number of years of land use, and they did not give in the slightest. It took two hours for both sides to get their own satisfactory answers.
"I can understand the herbicide, but what is the effect of the insecticide, can it kill the locusts?" Duke Durandal put away the contract and asked with a smile on his face.
Aslan nodded and said.
"It was developed specifically for locusts, but the plants are absolutely inedible within a week after being sprayed. It is very likely to cause poisoning. Those who consume too much toxins may even be life-threatening."
Duke Durandal nodded, he didn't care too much about it, as long as the insecticide time was controlled.
Duke Durandal left New Merlot with a smile on his face. Aslan, who was supposed to be depressed, couldn't help showing a triumphant smile when he stepped out of the gate of New Merlot.
There is another effect of insecticides, which Aslan did not say, that is, it will reduce crop yields.
Its effect can only be reflected in the three crops of wheat, corn, and rice. The crops that belong to these three systems will definitely reduce their yield by one third as long as they are sprayed on, so that Aslan’s magic can be transformed. The high yield of seeds is more prominent.
Coupled with the characteristics of herbicides, once these two agents are fully used in the Kingdom of Cleveland, it will definitely cause a new wave of food shortages.
At that time, the high-yield grain seeds of Merlot will be fully promoted, and Aslan can use this as an opportunity to buy grain on a large scale. As long as the grain is not too low, both the people and the nobles must sell the grain to Aslan.
Can it not be sold? Of course you can, but don’t even think about buying grain seeds from Aslan next time. As long as you plant back the original seeds and face the old seeds with reduced output, you might as well plant high-yield magic transformation seeds, at least you can make a small profit.
After coming and going, Aslan easily became the largest food supplier in the Kingdom of Cleveland without doing anything.
As for the preservation of grain seeds, there is no need to worry at all, because after the first generation, the grain output of each subsequent generation will be reduced by half, and it will eventually become weed.
