Chapter 26

Prandar's main food crop is very similar to wheat on earth. It is a crop with high starch content. People here call it "Kadar", but for convenience, Donne decided to treat it as wheat.

Although wheat doesn't need a lot of water like rice, the land in the farmland has obviously dried up, but the wheat is half a foot high. It's the time when water is needed. How can the yield be high?

"It's the month of jubilation. It's going to be the month of midsummer soon. The temperature is rising. It's normal to dry some land?"

Fiona, after all, is of noble origin and has never planted a field, so she can't see the problem.

"That's not the case. There's the emerald river next to it, but the farmland is so dry. It's very abnormal... Wait, didn't you dig a diversion canal?"

Donne's last words were addressed to the farmers nearby.

"Diversion canal? What's that?"

The farmer looked confused.

"Dig a canal to divert the water from the emerald river for irrigation."

Donne was very surprised. No matter how big the gap between the two worlds is, it's impossible not to know these basic things, right? No matter how stupid farmers are, they know how to get water from the river for irrigation in case of drought? How big is it to dig a canal? Can't you think of it?

A civilization has developed for so many years. It's not at the level of relying on heaven

"Oh, I see, but Lord, that's impossible."

At this time, Elsa interrupted, "the terrain on the other side of the emerald river is lower than this side, and the water can't flow through the channel."

"I see!"

Donne suddenly realized it, and then frowned. There are no pumps and sprinklers in the world. Although there are more convenient magic, the magician can't condescend to stay in the farmland as an artificial rain maker.

Suddenly, Donne clapped his hands: "by the way, waterwheel! How can you forget this crop?"

"Waterwheel?"

Fiona Elsa and they were at a loss when they heard another strange term coming out of Donne's mouth.

As mentioned earlier, the main power of the world is controlled by the apocalypse. The apocalypse, that is, those who can awaken their talents and become professionals, soldiers and magicians, are all apocalypses.

With these apocalypses, ordinary people's development of the world's basic forces, that is, the development of physics, is at a standstill. They encounter problems that are difficult to solve, either the warrior apocalypses solve them with brute force, or the magicians solve them with magical power. Ordinary people rarely think about how they can solve them.

Don't believe it? Look at the aborigines in the world. Dwarfs and goblins have climbed out of the nuclear bomb ten thousand years ago without magic!

Now gnomes and goblins are so weak because they blow up their hometown and technology tree!

As a result, other races came from behind.

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

Danny of the militia, his father is the Miller, but his mill uses not wind power, but animal power. It is inefficient, and he has to feed livestock. Naturally, the cost is large. If there is a windmill, it can save a lot of cost.

"Waterwheel is to use the power of water to lift water to a high place, and then make it flow to the farmland with the help of the gravity of water itself... Forget it, it's useless to tell you."

Donne looked at their blank expressions and knew that he had wasted his efforts. He'd better go back and discuss it with Brian. Dwarves and dwarfs often communicate with each other. Maybe he can understand the beauty. [e1]

"Don't worry. I'll find a way to solve this problem. There will be water to irrigate the farmland soon. You don't have to worry."

Donne smiled at the farmer: "trust me, the harvest in this harvest month will be very good."

"We trust you..."

The farmer finished and looked at Donne eagerly, as if he had something to say and didn't dare to say.

"What's the matter? Any questions?"

The farmer summoned up his courage and asked, "Lord, we saw the notice on the bulletin board in the square this morning. You announced a half% tax reduction. Is this true?"

So efficient?

Donne glanced at Fiona a little unexpectedly. Fiona raised her face triumphantly, as if expecting his praise.

Donne looked back, smiled at the farmer and said, "of course it's true."

The proud Fiona's face stiffened and stamped her foot in hatred, this guy!

"Great! Really great!"

The farmers cheered at the speech, holding each other's rough hands and shedding excited tears.

Half a percent... It's just half a percent tax reduction... It's so exciting.

Donne's heart is very complex. Farmers, no matter which world they are, are so simple. All they ask is to have a full stomach and then drop a little money. Unfortunately, such a humble wish is hard to realize.

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

Donne assured them very seriously and seriously: "in the next few days, you will see the changes in Ellington. I promise you will witness the rise of Ellington."

Elsa blinked and her heart was full of excitement. At this moment, she felt that Donne was really full of powerful charm!

Next to Elia, she thought very simply. She thought that big brother Donne was a good man, so everyone would like him. Children's thinking was so simple.

After making a circle in the field and probably remembering the situation of the farmland, they went to the southwest of Ellington. They didn't go far. After a small slope, they saw the emerald river.

On the west side of the emerald River, there are dense woods. The strong trees spread into the mountains in front, forming an endless forest sea. There is the Emerald Forest, that is, the boundary of the elves.

On the east side is the boundary of Ellington. There are large areas of vegetation and moist shrubs on the river bank, as well as some relatively sparse and low trees, forming a sharp contrast with the other bank.

"Right here!"

Elia waved her little hand happily: "there's a lot of mint here."

Donne took a deep breath. The smell of mint floated in the fresh air, which boosted his spirit. Looking around, there were a lot of peppermint on the river bank, which made Donne calm. At the same time, he also had other ideas.

The climate here is so suitable for the growth of mint. Mint can be cultivated as an economic crop in Ellington and encourage everyone to grow it together.

Then make the essential oil extraction equipment, which can be used to process Mint spices, mint candy, Mint Soap, mint toothpaste, mint soda and so on

Maybe these peppermint can make a lot of money?

Donne's eyes glittered with gold. In his eyes, this Mint was not an unknown plant, but a bright gold coin!

"These eye-catching herbs... Well, what's good about mint?"

Elsa asked curiously, "although it smells good a little, when a large area is mature, there is that smell all around here. It's so choking."

"Ha ha, what do you think is good?"

Donne laughed and patted Elsa on the head. "Elsa, do you believe I said these peppermint can bring a lot of money to Ellington in the future?"

Elsa hesitated, but Elia said without hesitation: "as long as the big brother says, I believe it!"

"Oh? Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?"

"Not afraid! Because big brother is a good man!"

"Good man..."

Donne touched his nose: "well... Big brother will treat you to lollipops later."

"Lollipop? What's that?"

"You'll know later... Fiona?"

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

"You said, these peppermint can make money?"

As soon as Fiona looked back, Donne was dumbfounded. He thought he loved money enough, but Fiona's performance was even more exaggerated when she heard that these peppermint herbs could make money!

She's completely into a frenzy!

"Lord! What are the effects of these peppermint herbs? Can they increase the speed of meditation? Or do they have special effects for magicians? Can they restore magic? Or can they be used as special spell casting materials?"

Fiona asked a lot of questions. Because she knew that Donne was a magician, she subconsciously thought that these Mint herbs had a special effect on the magician.

"Useless, useless..."

Donne wiped his cold sweat: "it's just an ordinary plant..."

"Ordinary plants?"

"Yes, it's very common, but the smell is special."

Fiona was not interested at once: "it's just like this..."

For prandal people, whether a thing has great value depends on whether it 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 elements, and the equipment made can improve the 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 improve combat effectiveness or heal injuries.

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

Fiona scoffed at this. Even if Donne was a powerful magician, she thought Donne was bragging.

Don't forget, the golden rose family started in business. In business, her smell is much sharper than Donne.

"Don't you believe it?"

Don hummed, "dare you make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Donne smiled and said, "if these peppermint can make money, you'll work for me all your life in the future. How about it?"

"What's wrong with that!"

Fiona's heart jumped and said as if nothing had happened: "however, how much is the so-called money?"

Donne thought and raised a finger.
