The main food crop of Plandar is similar to the wheat on Earth, and it is a highly starchy crop, which is called "Kadar" by the people here, but for the sake of convenience, Donn decided to take it as wheat.

Although wheat does not need a lot of water like rice, the land in the farmland has dried up significantly, but the wheat is already half a foot high, and it is the time when water is needed, how can the yield be high in this way?

"It's the month of jubilation, it's about to be the middle of summer, the temperature is rising, and it's normal for the land to dry up a bit, right?"

Fiona was from an aristocratic background after all, and she had never farmed, so she couldn't see the problem.

"That's not the case, it's not normal to have the Emerald River next to it, but the farmland is doing this...... Wait, didn't you dig an aqueduct? ”

Donn's last sentence was addressed to the farmer next to him.

"Aqueducts? What is that? ”

The farmer looked confused.

"Dig a canal to bring water from the Emerald River for irrigation."

Tang En was very surprised, no matter how huge the gap between the two worlds was, it was impossible not to know these basic things, right? No matter how stupid a farmer knows to go to the river to get water for irrigation in the face of drought, right? How big is it to dig a canal? Can't you even think of it?

After so many years of development, a civilization is not still at the level of relying on the sky for food......

"Oh, I see, but my lord, that's impossible."

At this time, Elsa interjected: "The terrain on the other side of the Emerald River is lower than here, and the water from the digging channel can't flow. ”

"I see!"

Don suddenly realized, and then frowned, there are no such things as pumps and sprinklers in this world, although there is more convenient magic, but it is impossible for a magician to deign to stay in the farmland as an artificial rainman.

Suddenly, Don clapped his hands: "That's right, the waterwheel!" How did you forget about this stubble. ”

"Waterwheel?"

Hearing another unfamiliar term come out of Donn's mouth, Fiona Elsa and the others were at a loss again.

As mentioned earlier, the main power in this world is in the hands of the Apocalypse, and the Apocalypse, that is, those who can awaken the talent to become professionals, warriors, and magicians, are all Apocalypse.

And after these apocalypse, ordinary people are in a state of stagnation for the development of the basic power of the world, that is, the development of physics, and when they encounter problems that are difficult to solve, either the warrior-type apocalypse solves them with brute force, or the magicians solve them with the power of magic, and ordinary people rarely think about how they can solve the difficulties.

Unbelief? Look at the aborigines of this world, gnomes and goblins have climbed out of nuclear bombs 10,000 years ago without magic!

Now the gnomes and goblins are so weak, it's because they have blown up their hometown and the tech tree!

As a result, it was the turn of other races to catch up.

It is an indisputable fact that the strength of the individual limits the growth of the strength of the group.

Danny of the militia, his father is a miller, but his family's mill uses animal power instead of wind power, which is inefficient, and he also has to feed livestock, so the cost is naturally large, and if there is a windmill, it can save a lot of costs.

"The waterwheel uses the power of water to lift water to a high place, and then uses the gravity of the water itself to make it flow into the farmland...... Forget it, it's useless to tell you. ”

Don looked at their blank expressions and knew that his efforts were in vain, so he might as well go back and discuss them with Brian, the dwarves and gnomes often interact, and he might be able to understand the subtlety of this. [e1]

"Don't worry, I will find a way to solve this problem, and there will be water to irrigate the farmland soon, you don't have to worry."

Tang En smiled at the farmer: "Believe me, this year's harvest will be very good." ”

"We believe you ......"

After the farmer finished speaking, he looked at Don Ai Ai, as if he had something to say but did not dare to say.

"What's wrong? Still have questions? ”

The peasant plucked up his courage and asked, "My lord, we saw a notice on the bulletin board in the square this morning, and you announced a half-percent tax cut, is this true?" ”

So efficient?

Don glanced at Fiona in some surprise, and Fiona raised her face triumphantly, as if expecting his compliment.

Don retracted his gaze and smiled at the farmer, "Of course it's true. ”

The smug Fiona's face froze and she stomped her foot in hatred, this guy!

"Great! It's really great! ”

The peasant households cheered when they heard this, and one by one they took each other's rough hands and shed tears of excitement.

Half of it...... It's just half of the tax cut...... It's so exciting.

Tang En's heart is very complicated, farmers, no matter which world the farmers are, are so simple, all they ask for is to have a full stomach, and then they can leave a little money in their hands, but unfortunately, such a humble wish is also very rare to achieve.

"If you believe in me and trust me, then I will definitely bring you a happy life."

Donn was very serious, and very serious, assured them: "In the coming days, you will see the changes that take place in Ellington, and I promise you will witness the rise of Ellington." ”

Elsa blinked her eyes, her heart was full of excitement, at this moment, she felt that Don was really full of powerful charm!

Illya next to her thinks very simply, she thinks that Big Brother Don is a good person, so everyone will like him, and a child's thinking is so simple.

After taking a turn in the field, and having the condition of the field in mind, they walked again to the southwest of Ellington, and after going a little downhill, they saw the Emerald River.

On the west side of the Emerald River, there is a dense forest, and the sturdy trees spread out into the mountains in front of them, forming an endless sea of forests, which is the Emerald Forest, that is, the realm of the elves.

On the east side is the Ellington side, where the banks of the river are covered with large expanses of vegetation and shrubs that prefer moisture, as well as some relatively sparse and low trees, which contrast sharply with the opposite bank.

"Right here!"

Illya waved her little hand happily: "There are so many grows here, mint grass." ”

Don took a deep breath, the fresh air wafted with the fragrance of mint, which lifted his spirits, and as far as the eye could see, there were a lot of mint growing densely on the riverbank, which made Don feel reassured, and at the same time, other thoughts also arose.

The climate here is so suitable for the growth of mint that it can be cultivated as a cash crop in Ellington, and everyone can be encouraged to grow it together.

Then we can make the essential oil extraction equipment, which can be used to process peppermint flavors, peppermint candies, peppermint soaps, peppermint toothpaste, peppermint soda, etc......

Perhaps, these mints can make a fortune on their own?

Donn's eyes sparkled with gold, and in his eyes, this piece of mint grass was not a nameless plant, but a bright gold coin!

"These striking grass ...... Hmm, what's so good about mint grass? ”

Elsa asked curiously, "Although it smells good a little bit, but after a large area matures, the smell is all over the area, so choking." ”

"Haha, what do you say is good?"

Don laughed and patted Elsa's head: "Elsa, I said that these mint grasses could bring Ellington a lot of money in the future, do you believe it or not?" ”

Elsa hesitated, but Illya said without hesitation: "As long as the big brother says, I will believe it!" ”

"Oh? You're not afraid I'll lie to you? ”

"Don't be afraid! Because big brother is a good guy! ”

"Good man......"

Don touched his nose: "Hmm...... Big brother will invite you to eat lollipops in the future. ”

"Lollipop? What's that? ”

"You'll find out later...... Fiona? ”

Don noticed that Fiona seemed to be in a daze, and called out to her a little strangely.

"You say, these mint grasses can make money?"

As soon as Fiona turned around, Don was dumbfounded, he thought that he was enough to love money, but he didn't expect Fiona's performance to be even more exaggerated after hearing that these mint grasses could make money!

She's completely in a frenzy!

"Your Lord! What do these peppermint grasses do? Can you increase the speed of meditation? Or is there a special role for magicians? Can you regain your mana? Or can it be used as a special casting material? ”

Fiona asked a lot of questions, and since she knew that Don was a magician, she subconsciously thought that these mint grasses had a special effect on mages.

"It's useless, it's useless......"

Don wiped his cold sweat: "It's just an ordinary plant......"

"Ordinary plants?"

"Yes, it's ordinary, it's just that the fragrance is more special."

Fiona was suddenly disinterested: "That's it......"

For the people of Plandal, whether or not something is of great value depends on whether or not that thing has an effect on the Apocalypse.

For example, the reason why magic metal is so precious is that it can well contain the power of the elements, and the equipment it creates can improve its combat effectiveness.

The reason why some herbs are so expensive is that they can be refined into various potions in the hands of alchemists, which can increase combat effectiveness or heal injuries.

A completely ordinary plant, just with a special smell, can make money?

Fiona scoffed at this, and even though Don was a very powerful magician, she thought that Don was bragging.

Don't forget, the Golden Rose family started out in business, and in business, her sense of smell is much sharper than Done's.

"You don't believe me?"

Tang En snorted, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?" ”

"What bet?"

Tang En smiled and said, "If these mint grasses can make money, you will give me a job for the rest of my life in the future, how about it?" ”

"What's wrong with that!"

Fiona's heart jumped, and she said casually: "However, how much money is the so-called earning?" ”

Don thought for a moment and raised a finger.
