Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 77 Spring Plowing

  The long and narrow face is full of beards, and the curly flaxen hair hangs down on the shoulders. At first glance, it looks like a tramp.

   This is the mayor of Snake Head Town, and also the patriarch of the Black Snake Clan.

  Mulhans Black Snake.

  2 Ring Eudemons Knight.

   "Welcome all farmers to attend the spring plowing coordination meeting." Mu Hansi's face was a little pale, as if he was overindulgent.

  I can't see the demeanor that the Eudemons knight should have in him.

   Even the mental outlook is not as good as that of ordinary knights on the street, and his speech is weak, without the majesty of a superior.

   Instead, inadvertently, it will reveal a cold texture like a poisonous snake: "In the four directions of southeast, northwest, there are a total of 142 farms that already have owners. Some have been in business for many years, and some have just started. Everyone hopes for a good harvest."

   paused.

  Mayor Muhansi said indifferently: "I also hope that everyone can have a good harvest, but this is a matter of the future. Starting from the spring plowing this year, all farms must set aside half of the area to plant Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit. The seeds will be distributed uniformly by the Snake Head Tower."

  Although the sound is flat, the content is explosive.

   "Free up half of the area to plant Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit?" At that time, some farmers couldn't help asking, "Mayor Muhansi, our farm is already full, can we wait until autumn sowing to plant Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit?"

"no."

   "Is there any subsidy for the shoveled crops?"

"No."

   "Then this is also cruel to us?"

   This is what Duke wants to say.

  He spent a lot of gold and dragons to plant a hundred acres of wheat seedlings. Now the wheat seedlings have not grown up yet, shoveling them is no different from cutting meat.

   "I can understand your difficulties, and I wouldn't want to do it otherwise, but this is not something that our Snake Head Tower can decide, nor is it something that our Black Snake Clan can decide." Mayor Muhansi shook his head, his tone still unhurried.

   "Who gets to decide that?" someone asked.

   "Good question, I can only tell you that it was decided by this pioneering war. I believe you have all heard the news about the second safe passage, encountering crypt army ants. In fact, not only the second safe passage, but also a large number of crypt army ants were found in the entire Cuihai Valley."

  Crypt marching ants are the weakest 3-ring spirit beasts, but relying on the continuous accumulation of 1-ring arcane-mud armor, their defense power is invincible.

  Once the mercenary group falls into it, the entire army will be wiped out immediately.

   "In order to pacify the Cuihai Valley as soon as possible, the Shenjiao City Development and War Headquarters will dispatch 0-ring spirit beasts-acid cantharis from all over the country to use the special acid of the acid cantharidin to corrode the mud armor of the army ants in the crypt. The acid cantharis must be fed with Physalis blood spirit fruit, which can only be supplied by our Sheshou Town."

   "Mayor, there are still many farms in Xiaohewan South that have not yet been cultivated. Why use these new farms to grow Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit?"

   "Whoever said no, when the spring plowing time, all the unsold Xiaohewan farms will grow Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit."

"Forehead…"

  The farmers stopped talking for a while.

   Soon someone asked again: "Lord Mayor, can't we supply it from Shenjiao City or the surrounding market towns first? It may be a better way to wait for us to harvest this season's crops, and then plant Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit, what do you think?"

   "Acid mytles can only produce special acid in their bodies by eating the freshest Physalis blood spirit fruit. Therefore, they must be planted at the nearest farm in Sheshou Town." Muhans probably said impatiently, and waved his hand directly, "That's all for this meeting. During spring plowing, all of you will come to Sheshou Tower to collect seeds."

   Do not give farmers a chance to refuse.

  Muhans Black Snake got up directly, and walked out of the conference room without looking back.

  After he left, the conference room exploded, and the farmers complained that it was too hard to vacate half of the field.

   "It's killing me!"

   "No way, I only planted wheat before winter, and if I shovel half of it, I will go bankrupt!"

   "I still have one-third of the vacant land, alas, and deduct a little from other crops, that's the only way to do it."

   "Does the higher-ups really not treat us as human beings?"

   "Whoever calls us Lingzhi envoys can bully anyone except for farming fart skills."

   "Damn it, I'm going to sell the farm and turn it into a long-term worker for others." A 0-ring Lingzhi Envoy farmer spread his hands, feeling hopeless.

  Duke followed suit with a few words.

  But he didn't feel so distressed. After all, the main source of money has been replaced by cooperation with Captain Zina to repair cards, and the farm has become a sideline instead.

   Unfortunately, complaining is useless.

   These more than a hundred farmers, either accept or be out, there is no third choice.

  Duke returned to the villa, and Sally immediately asked about the meeting. When she learned that half of the wheat seedlings would be eradicated, she immediately cursed in distress.

  Aunt Abby also cursed at the sky.

  Levine was silent, but obviously in a bad mood.

   "Don't be so depressed, I still have capital. It is a regulation issued by Shenjiao City to shovel out the wheat seedling Physalis blood spirit fruit. If you can't resist, then obey." Duke optimistically comforted everyone, "For the other two days, follow me and remove the Lingzhi wheat first."

   Shovel out 50 acres of wheat seedlings. The ordinary wheat seedlings among them don't matter, but the 0-ring Lingzhi wheat seedlings must be preserved.

   Breathe while on-hook.

  Duke side marked 0 Lingzhi wheat seedlings.

  Sally led a group of temporary farm workers, and followed behind to dig out the wheat seedlings and put them in a tricycle. Levin transported them one by one, and sent the wheat seedlings to the other side of the farm for replanting in the wheat field.

  Fifty mu of land is not a small amount. It took everyone two days to transplant the 0-ring Lingzhi wheat seedlings.

   After doing these.

  Invited a farming team to come over and shovel all the 50 acres of wheat seedlings, open the field ridges and ditches, and prepare for the cultivation of Physalis blood spirit fruit.

  …

   In a flash, the coldest January has passed.

  Wait until the end of February, the weather is gradually warming towards spring.

  The spring plowing in Sheshou Town officially started, and the staff of Sheshou Pagoda also notified each farm to go to Sheshou Pagoda to get the seeds of Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit.

   This batch of physalis blood spirit fruit seeds are all seeds left by the 0 ring spirit plant.

   Only after signing a contract can you receive the seeds, and then the farming and growing links are all in charge of each farm, and the harvested fruits are arranged by the town.

   "Don't worry, the town will not let the farm suffer. When the physalis blood spirit fruit matures, it will be recycled at half the price on the market. If the physalis cantharis go directly to the farm to eat, they will be compensated at a uniform standard, which is no less than your income from growing other crops."

  The staff said it nicely, but the farmers who signed the contract did not believe it.

  If the town really cared about everyone's interests, it would be impossible to ask all the farms to set aside half of the land for planting physalis blood spirit fruit without compensation.

   "I've listed the farm for sale. I don't want to reap the benefits of opening up the war. I'd better move to another place to make a stable living."

   After signing the contract, some farmers said in a broken jar.

  Duke didn't answer.

   I don't quite believe that the other party will abandon the farm that has been cultivated for many years, which is why the town randomly picks the farmer. Many farmers have invested their entire life savings on the farm. No matter how harsh the conditions are, it is impossible to give up the farm.
