Chapter 589: The Ideal Crop
Chapter 589: The Ideal Crop
Lord Lin Sai and the citizens shared a meal together.
Although everyone knew about the Lord’s outing, they were still curious about it.
During the meal, Lin Sai took the opportunity to talk about the vermilion ore mine, also giving them a heads-up about the expansion of the exclave’s territory.
As the meal was about to end, Hammer rushed over to report:
"Lord Lin Sai, during your absence, the population in the territory has continued to grow rapidly. This rate... is even far beyond my previous estimates!"
Lin Sai nodded, understanding the situation:
"That means we need to plan for new housing."
"This is simple. We can go now. Just tell me the number of people and the space we need to reserve."
Lin Sai stood up, and Hammer followed, adding more details:
"My Lord, it’s not just that! We also need to urgently expand our food and livestock supplies. The previous waste station is also struggling to cope. In short, our territory needs to expand significantly outward!"
"That means we need to plan for new construction." Lin Sai understood. He confirmed the task and called back Hammer, who was about to leave, "Hammer, wait a moment. I want to show you something."
Lin Sai held up the [Golden Sparrow Wheat]:
"Look, this is a new crop I’ve cultivated."
Hammer was curious.
But being just an ordinary person, he couldn’t see the special qualities of the [Golden Sparrow Wheat] and could only tentatively ask:
"Should we select a few plots in the farmland for trial planting, like before?"
Lin Sai shook his head:
"It’s not just for trial planting. From now on, this will be our main crop."
This attitude made Hammer instantly realize the importance of the wheat in front of him.
His expression became serious:
"Is there anything special to note when planting this wheat?"
Lin Sai replied confidently:
"It’s almost the ideal crop. Just make sure it’s not too wet or too dry."
Hammer had been responsible for the previous plant exchanges.
He remembered clearly that Lin Sai would introduce the advantages and disadvantages of each plant in great detail, showing a very meticulous attitude toward this work.
But this time,
His lord only used the term ‘ideal’ to describe it.
"..."
Hammer blinked his eyes.
He realized that the [Golden Sparrow Wheat] in front of him was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"Lord Lin Sai, I understand. I will definitely—"
"Hey! Is there no more food?" At that moment, a discordant complaint sounded from the side. "Beautiful lady, I’ve been working super hard lately. Even if you leave me an extra pig leg, I could finish it all!"
Lin Sai and Hammer turned their heads and saw Silude clutching her head and weeping.
She had been so engrossed in organizing the documents, especially the secret events recorded by the messengers, which were quite captivating.
During this period, Silude, besides teaching during the day, spent her nights in the library organizing documents.
Now,
Because of her deep involvement, the writer girl had arrived at the canteen past mealtime.
The canteen staff had left her a bowl of rice.
But for Silude, the amount of food for an ordinary person was still not enough.
In front of the serving lady, Silude expressed her nature in a decadent artist’s manner.
She didn’t force the canteen staff.
But the staff still found it difficult to handle, as Silude was a respected teacher who had even taught them before!
Lin Sai couldn’t help but smile and walked over:
"Silude, stop complaining. I’ll take you out for dinner tonight."
Silude immediately looked up, her tear-streaked face breaking into a mischievous smile:
"Really? You better keep your word!"
"By the way, Lin Sai, besides your roasted meat, do you have any other dishes? Use your skills to make more for me."
"You're quite the character, aren't you?" Lindsey quipped, then took the initiative to push Silude's wheelchair. "Hammer, come over here, and get a few strong lads to help move the seeds I prepared over to the farmland."
After giving Hammer a task, Lindsey turned back to Silude:
"You've had a few days. How's the information gathering going?"
Silude nodded and then shook her head:
"There are plenty of stories of squabbles among the Awakened, but not many that are useful."
Lindsey replied:
"Then tell me the parts you find useful."
Silude began her report:
"First, there's a Righteous Executor called Heart's Edge. He believes that the sovereign lineage of Law Capital should not be desecrated and wants to support Princess Yanafein as the new ruler. This guy's skills are at the Eighth Stage, and he has a vast influence in Law Capital."
"Then there's a guy called The Walker. He thinks that everything in Law Capital is nonsense and opposes the previous one. He's also a formidable Eighth Stage character."
"And then there's The Law Knight, a guy named The Lawgiver. He believes that everything should be centered around the law. Decades ago, he wanted to revise the laws to fit the new era before engaging in other discussions. So, he also doesn't get along with the previous two. He's also at the Eighth Stage."
"These three are the major forces. Apart from them, there's also the eastern..."
Silude was about to continue, but Lindsey cut her off:
"Okay, hold on a moment!"
"This information has nothing to do with Moan Mountain Ridge, and it's of no benefit to us right now, is it?"
Silude smiled:
"But if you're going to Law Capital in the future, this information will definitely come in handy."
"..."
Lindsey fell silent for a moment but accepted her good intentions.
"Thank you for the reminder. This information is indeed useful to me personally."
Silude continued:
"Lindsey, an Eighth Stage existence isn't something you can deal with using those opportunistic tools."
"Advance knowledge is of utmost importance."
Lindsey nodded slightly and continued pushing the wheelchair forward, thinking about the future. At this moment, he saw the children playing in the banyan forest.
This time, their mothers didn't come to fetch them.
The children chased and played, full of energy.
As Lindsey, who was considering enhancing his strength, witnessed this scene, a flash of inspiration came to mind.
He suddenly spoke up:
"Hammer, I have an idea."
Hammer immediately approached him:
"Sir, what are your instructions?"
Lindsey continued:
"Let's hold a Festival of Games."
"For example, running, sprinting, long jump, high jump—competitions that test athletic abilities."
"When people gather to witness this sporting event, it will definitely improve the atmosphere in the camp!"
Hammer took a moment to understand the concept of the Festival of Games.
He wasn't familiar with such sporting competitions and asked based on his understanding:
"Shouldn't we restrict the participants' identities for this kind of event?"
Lindsey shook his head:
"No restrictions. Just separate the events for ordinary people and the Awakened."
"Yes, I understand!" Hammer accepted the task.
He prepared to take notes in his pocket notebook.
However, Lindsey spoke again, disrupting the initial plan forming in Hammer's mind.
"Hammer, there's one more thing."
"Please go ahead."
"Add something to the promotion."
"What?"
"I'll be participating as well."
