Chapter 30 God is watching what people do
"Is it okay to give the potatoes to Viola? If there are druids, they should be able to successfully plant them..."
Li Chengqi looked at the screen, which happened to show Viola showing potatoes to the tree elf.
Li Chengqi went to the vegetable market to buy potatoes before it rained. He bought two sacks in total.
There are too many potatoes to eat, but not enough to grow.
It's not that Li Chengqi is stingy, but that he really can't carry it...
But it's not a big problem.
Plant these two bags of potatoes cut into pieces as seeds, and wait until they grow in number. If you happen to have a druid who is best at cultivating plants, it shouldn't take much time.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. On the other hand, the only thing that can feed the people is the sky!
Li Chengqi did not eat Viola's tribute during this period in vain. He had carefully observed that there were no potatoes in the entire Leon territory.
The vegetables are mainly lettuce, cabbage, carrots and onions, while the grains mainly come from barley, oats and wheat, not even rice.
After realizing this, Li Chengqi considered how to use food to make people spontaneously support Viola.
The first choices are high-yielding potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.
However, the soil in Leon's territory is poor, dry and rainless, and the climate is relatively cold, making it difficult for sweet potatoes and corn to grow here.
In comparison, potatoes are the best choice.
After all, if you think about it, Siberia Farmhouse does nothing but dig potatoes.
As for how to grow potatoes?
There is a very useful thing in modern society called search engine.
As long as Li Chengqi searches for it, he will find various teaching styles from videos to pictures and texts, and he will just teach you how to do it.
When Viola came back with the bandits, Li Chengqi immediately handed her the potatoes and planting methods.
Potatoes are not only vegetables, but also grains and can be used to make wine. And the storage time is long. If the method is correct, it will not be a problem to store it for nearly a year.
Moreover, the potato harvest period is very short and can be harvested three times a year. With the help of druids, four times a year may not be a problem.
Everyone knows that in troubled times, it is not the uncle who has money, but the one who has food, because only with food can an army be raised.
Li Chengqi has not forgotten that Viola was a princess who almost lost her country. She must have seen the great value of potatoes.
And naming it as a high-yielding crop given by the Demon King God is also very helpful for missionary work.
Regardless of whether you are a believer or not, you have to eat. When you eat potatoes, you will know about the Demon King and God.
In other words, let’s get familiar with each other first.
On the screen, the tree elf couldn't help but admire Viola while listening to Viola's explanation of the advantages of potatoes.
Tree elves are not accustomed to eating cooked food or animal meat. Their staple food is fruits and tubers, and they occasionally catch insects to supplement protein.
Although the forest land is safe, the problem of insufficient food has also troubled them all year round. When they hear the potato yield, they shout and can also row boats.
Zhuoya: 'Your Highness, Your Majesty requires us to do business with foreign countries. Please give us your help in this regard.'
Viola: 'The tree elves' rattan art has always been a rare treasure for the princes and nobles. I believe there is no need to worry about this problem at all. However, due to the temporary interruption of the trade routes outside the Leon territory, even if there are goods now Can't be sold either'
Zoya: ‘What should I do? We promised your Majesty that we would do business with the outside world.'
Viola: ‘Please rest assured, Your Majesty will not blame you for these things.’
The tree elf seemed to be worried about not being able to meet the target that Li Chengqi casually mentioned, probably because he was afraid that the plague goddess would come again.
Zhuo Ya: ‘Can you find an empty space without people? We would like to leave a mushroom circle here so that His Highness and we can travel between the city and the forest.’
Viola: ‘The mushroom circle is the most commonly used portal for druids, right? Of course, I’ll have someone take you to a place in the castle atrium later’
Zhuo Ya seemed to be relieved because of this. On the screen, Zhuo Ya, who had a double body, made a gesture of wiping her forehead.
Viola: 'As for the cultivation of potatoes, I have asked the soldiers to cultivate a piece of land outside the city gate. Your Majesty calls it a test field. As long as the civilians see the yield of potatoes, I believe it will be promoted soon.'
This is also the advice Li Chengqi told Viola. Farmers would definitely not dare to plant a new crop casually. If the harvest is not good, they will have to suffer from the northwest wind.
But farmers are not stupid. As long as they see how much food can be produced in the experimental fields, it goes without saying that they will beg to plant it.
Viola: 'But none of us know how to plant, so we need the help of your druids.'
Zhuo Ya: 'Of course, we are also very interested in the new crops given by Your Majesty. Please be sure to let us participate. We will definitely live up to your and Your Majesty's expectations.'
Viola: ‘This matter has been settled. I will ask someone to take you to the experimental field later. Also, there is one more thing...'
Li Chengqi looked at the subtitles that popped up on the screen and moved the camera with the mouse.
There were other places he cared more about that needed to be looked at.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
At the same time, the lord's villa.
"Bastard! Impossible! Her Highness the Princess cannot possibly know my account books!"
Lord Leon smashed the gold cup on the floor angrily, and pulled off the painting on the wall like crazy, revealing the safe hidden behind it.
At this time, he saw that the door of the safe was slightly open, and there was nothing inside.
This showed that the account book he just picked up in the square was not forged by Viola, but was really his own.
"Who is it! Who stole my account book!"
The butler stood in the corner and remained silent, not daring to say a word for fear of offending the lord.
Theoretically speaking, the ledger cannot be stolen. Even if someone can get the key from the lord without knowing it, the password cannot be told by the lord himself in his sleep.
There were no signs of prying on the safe. No matter how clever a thief was, it would be impossible for him to easily open a safe made by a dwarf craftsman.
But the facts are right in front of us, and this can only be called a magical skill.
The secret of the account book is known to the princess, what will happen to me?
It contains a lot of evidence of corruption by the Leon Lord family, and even evidence of reselling contraband to other countries. It is enough to punish the nine clans.
The furious lord was panting like a mad tiger, he suddenly thought.
Since His Highness already knew, why didn't you take action?
Although the Demon Kingdom of Avarus is almost gone, the princess has two thousand elite soldiers plus dozens of guard knights, while the lord's army only has more than a hundred soldiers, and is mainly responsible for maintaining security in the territory. Not to mention combat effectiveness.
With such a huge gap in military force, Princess Viola should have directly led troops to raid her home, but she didn't.
Why?
"Sir, is Her Royal Highness trying to pretend not to know?"
"Impossible! His Highness has been thinking of ways to take the territory away from me since he came to the territory!"
In fact, Viola really didn't mean this. It was just that Lord Leon had something in his heart and suffered from persecution paranoia.
Speaking of this, the lord was suddenly stunned.
"I know, she wants to wait until there are more believers in the Demon King God, and then use this reason to oust me! That must be the case!"
There are actually many flaws in this logic. For example, it doesn't make sense that the ledger was specifically returned to the lord.
But the paranoid lord recognized this and could no longer think of any other reasons.
"I can't let the territory slip from my hands! Absolutely not!"
The lord glared at the butler in the corner, who immediately trembled like chaff.
The butler already understood what the lord wanted to do.
As the saying goes, God is watching what you do, and there are gods three feet above your head.
This is not wrong, people really cannot do bad things.
After all, the conversation between the lord and the butler was clearly seen...
