Shortly after the minister's assistant left, the prince welcomed a long-lost good news.
Sean, the guard who went to Bishui Port to buy crop seeds, is back.
When Roland followed the guards who reported the news to the garden, he saw Sean and several other guards removing bags of packages from the back of the mount.
It has been almost a month since the day of departure to today. He looks like his skin has become much tanned and his body has become thinner.
Seeing the prince appear, Sean immediately stood up and saluted.Roland quickly stepped forward and patted his shoulder, doing a good job.What seeds have you brought back?
Sean squatted down and untied the parcels on the ground, pearl rice, ground eggs, candy sticks... I bought all the plants you described in Bishui Port.It is true that most of them are produced in the fjord countries, but there are already many farmlands growing these crops in Bishui Port.
Have you asked the merchants about how to plant?
They asked, but they couldn't tell the specific method. They also said that if these plants leave the southern border, it would be difficult to grow them in other places.Sean grabbed a handful of yellow and orange particles from the package and spread them in front of Roland. Your Highness, this is pearl rice.The merchant said that if I bought it with the pearl stick, it would be cheaper.However, the pearl stick is too heavy and not convenient to carry. I only bought one intact and returned it, and the rest were peeled seeds.
There is no doubt that pearl rice is the corn he is familiar with.
He excitedly pinched a corn kernel and looked at it in the sun.
The fruit is a little shriveled, and it seems that it is stored in stock for a winter.
The yield of corn is naturally much higher than that of wheat, and has low soil requirements. With the transformation of leaves, it may quickly replace wheat and become the main food ration in Bianfeng Town.
Sean untied another package and took out a round brown crop. This one was a ground egg. I ate it in a hotel in Bishui Harbor. It was cut into strips and soaked in a basin. It was crispy when chewed, with a faint sweet smell.
Seeing this familiar appearance, Roland felt very moved.
This is clearly potato Ah!
He used his fingers to dig open the outer skin covered with the soil, revealing the dark yellow potato meat inside. Compared with those in later generations, the potatoes were not big at this time, the tubers were darker in color, and not every piece looked like an egg.
He noticed that there were potatoes in the bag that were long like carrots.
This thing is better after crushing and steaming it into a paste.
Uh...You have eaten yourselves?
Well, I had eaten it at the palace banquet, and Roland decided to lie because the name of the ground egg is too ugly. The imperial chefs did not call it ground egg, but called it potatoes.The delicious steamed snack is called mashed potatoes.
So that's what His Highness deserves to be His Highness, he is very knowledgeable.Sean sighed, he opened the last straight package and pulled out a black-skinned stick. Your Highness, I think this crop is the most important thing.Honey in Bishui Port is very cheap, largely because of it.The news I heard in the tavern is that more and more farmlands have begun to switch to sugar bars. The stalks of this magical plant are actually sweet. After peeling off the skin, you can squeeze sugar water. The price is one-tenth of honey, but it tastes sweet as sweet as honey.
... Roland really wanted to say that he had seen this crop himself, so he changed the name to sugarcane, but he would forget it. It would not be too late to correct it when the leaders planted it in the future.
The raw materials used to make sugar cane sugar can also be used to extract ethanol when grown too much, which can be regarded as a crop that can greatly improve residents' sense of happiness.
Think about it, the pancakes made from flour are bland and tasteless, but if you sprinkle some sugar to wrap them, it will immediately increase the sense of taste. Even salty parties like Roland will be fascinated by it.
Are there any other crop seeds?
That's all from Bishui Port. He took out five or six small bags of skin from his close-fitting pocket and handed them to His Highness. You told me to bring back the plant seeds that the Gray Castle had but not the town had. These packs were all selected by me when I passed by Liuye Town and Zhulongling, including grapes, soybeans, cotton, flax and olive tree seeds.However, the farmer said that most grapes are planted by inserting branches into the ground. Although the seeds can be planted, the germination period is very slow and the grapes produced are not very delicious.
With leaves here, these are not problems, Roland thought.
Now that there are grape seeds, it may be time to try the vine version of wheat.
As for soybeans, cotton, flax and olives, they are all very useful crops. First, let the leaves improve seeds suitable for the climate and soil in the Western Region, and then hand them over to serfs to plant on a small scale. Finally, the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for summarizing and improving and preparing a planting manual.
Your Highness, I still have some news to report to you, Sean whispered, about the situation in Bishui Port.
Is it related to the Three Princess?
Sean nodded, I spent nearly two weeks in Bishui Harbor, and spent most of the rest of my time in the tavern except for buying seeds.There are rumors that your sister, Garcia Wimbledon, has reached an agreement with Shamin.She provided the margins of the southern border to the Sha people who regarded her as king and obeyed her conscripts and orders.And during my time in the harbor, I did see a lot of Mojin people on the street.
The Mojin people in the extreme southern border... Although the border town does not care about their origins, it is another matter to lead a large number of alien races to the kingdom territory to settle down.
It seems that in order to compete for the throne, Carsia really uses any means, Roland thought.
Shamin also divided into many factions, and it was impossible for them to obey her instructions. Do you know which clans she was trying to win over?
Sean shook his head, Shamin was very wary of the people of Grayburg, and I couldn't buy more detailed information with Golden Dragon.But... one thing is very strange.The day before I was about to leave Bishui Harbor, Kassia returned victoriously from Eagle City. The city was celebrating their queen defeated the pseudo king Tifeko. As a result, four or five murders occurred in the city the next day, and one of the victims was torn into several pieces on the street.
Bishui Port then imposed restrictions, and I had to stay there for three more days.The taverns were closed, so everyone gathered in the hotel lobby to talk about this matter. Some said it was the revenge of the fake king, while others said it was the Shamin.One of the fjord merchants said that he witnessed one of the murders with his own eyes. The abuser was not tall and obviously was not a sham, but his strength and speed were not as strong as normal people could have.The security team that came after hearing the news was killed by him, and even though he was stabbed several times, his blood was flowing all over the ground.It was not until more security team members arrived one after another that the shield and spears came together to kill him.Later, the ban was lifted and I didn't dare to stay any longer. I immediately rushed back on a merchant ship.
You did a good job, Roland thought for a moment, and the golden dragon left over the purchase of seeds is not necessary to be returned to the city hall, just treat it as your reward.
Thank you Your Highness for the reward!
The strength and speed are far beyond the ordinary, ignoring the pain caused by the knife wound, it sounds like... a pill from the church.After the guard left, the nightingale's voice rang in his ears.
I think so too.But this makes even more sense. Roland frowned. According to Sean, Garcia would only get the pill earlier than me, and at the same time support the two sides to compete for the throne... What are they thinking?He had a faint bad idea in his mind. Is the real purpose of the church not to see a stable grey castle?
