Matthew thought for a moment and replied:
"The second crop you drew is called red... sweet potato, I think I've seen this crop before, but we don't call it sweet potato, we call it Anuba Yot root.
This crop that grows in the soil has a long history, even dating back hundreds of years..."
Upon hearing this, Sean hurriedly interrupted:
"Matthew, I don't care about its history, I just want to know where this thing is!"
Matthew spread his hands and replied:
"This root crop comes from the gorse empire in the east. My father introduced it ten years ago against all the objections. It is said that the yield is large but it is too sweet to be used as a staple food...
As for the potatoes you mentioned, forgive my ignorance, I have never seen them before."
"So that's it!"
Sean was lost in thought.
Two of the three high-yielding crops are available in this world, which is definitely good news for Sean’s “farming plan”!
As for potatoes, just because Matthew hasn’t seen them yet doesn’t mean they don’t exist. He can look for them slowly in the future.
Seeing Sean start to think deeply, Matthew asked curiously:
"Then again, Sean, how do you know about these crops?"
Sean came back to his senses and immediately replied with a pious look:
"I received guidance from the God of Light. The God of Light told me that these crops can increase food production and asked me to use them to save the people from water and fire!"
Matthew: "..."
Sean used "Guidance from the God of Light" to fool him again!
If he hadn't known the truth, he would have been deceived by Sean!
…
After Sean prayed devoutly to the God of Light, he added:
"Matthew, can you help me get the seeds of these two crops? I can give you a huge reward!"
Matthew nodded and shook his head:
"I can get the seeds back for you, and there is no need for payment. You saved my life, and this is the highest payment!"
As Matthew spoke, he flew into the sky and waved downwards:
"Shaun, Anduin, Windsor, goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Matthew!"
Sean and the three waved goodbye to Matthew.
...
...
After Matthew left, Anduin looked at the direction Matthew left and couldn't help but feel a little envious:
"I really envy Matthew that he can fly around in the sky. I hope that one day I can too!"
"Don't worry, that day won't be too far away." Sean smiled:
"We made a lot of money this time! High-yield crops are more valuable than guano mines. With high-yield crops, the population of the territory can be increased by at least five times!"
Anduin was shocked: "Can the population increase five times? Isn't that an exaggeration?"
Sean smiled and said confidently: "No, it's just that exaggerated. You can be a witness."
After Sean finished speaking, he drove the Blood Swamp Velociraptor forward.
...
Anduin still underestimated high-yield crops. The role of high-yield crops in increasing population is astonishing!
Take the Chinese dynasty in the previous life as an example. Three high-yielding crops, potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, all originated in South America and began to spread to China from the middle to the end of the Ming Dynasty.
During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the population of the Celestial Dynasty was only 40 million. After the introduction of "Champa Rice", the population exceeded 100 million during the Song Dynasty. However, due to the turmoil of the current situation, the population was only 60 million until the end of the Ming Dynasty in 1600 AD.
After the introduction of high-yield crops, the population began to grow explosively. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the population reached 400 million!
90% of these new populations are due to high-yielding crops!
So Sean is looking forward to Matthew's return more and more. With high-yielding crops and guano mines, even if a war breaks out, he won't be afraid of his opponents getting stuck in food!
...
Matthew flew southeast towards Port Kapur.
Now the northeastern border of the Lane Principality has been completely closed, and this is the only way to return home.
After seeing Matthew off, Sean rode the Blood Swamp Velociraptor, Anduin rode the Light Elemental, and the group continued walking towards the center of the town.
Anduin just announced the news of Sean's return in the town, so many townspeople gathered at the south gate to welcome Sean's arrival.
Sean's previous actions convinced the townspeople that Sean was the "savior" sent by the God of Light, so Sean's reputation was extremely high.
The townspeople spontaneously came to greet Sean and chanted Sean's name.
But after seeing Sean's mount, the Blood Swamp Velociraptor, the enthusiasm for welcoming the residents suddenly cooled down, and they even became very frightened.
Although Anduin also rides a light elemental, the light elemental is harmless to humans and animals, and even looks a little cute.
The Blood Swamp Velociraptor is different. With its bloody mouth, it looks like the top predator in the forest. This guy definitely wants to eat meat!
Sean was naturally aware of the residents’ concerns and said loudly:
"Don't worry, everyone! This mount of mine...just call it Xiaohong! Although Xiaohong looks vicious on the outside, she is very kind on the inside. And it was 'light-forged' by Anduin. I
Make sure it won’t hurt any townspeople!”
As Sean spoke, he released the [Hand of Protection], and a thin layer of [Sacred Shield] enveloped the Blood Swamp Velociraptor, making it look as if it had been "cast with light".
Lightforged Velociraptor!
Although the townspeople don't believe that this big guy can't bite, they have an almost paranoid fanatical admiration for Sean.
If the Lord says it won't bite, then it definitely won't bite!
Therefore, the townspeople regained their enthusiasm and enthusiastically embraced Sean back to the town.
Walking on the street to the town, Sean chatted with the townspeople and asked them about their recent life.
Almost all the townspeople expressed that they were very satisfied with their recent lives.
For farmers, they don't have to worry about food and clothing these days. The wheat grown in the fields belongs to them without having to pay taxes. This is a good thing that they never dreamed of before!
For workers, life is even better. Food territories are distributed free of charge, and they can also receive a salary of 1 gold coin per week. This life is much better than that of the residents of Jon City!
…
Sean was walking and chatting with the residents. When he reached the central square of the town, a clear girl's voice suddenly came to Sean's ears:
"Your Highness Sean! You are finally back!"
When Sean heard the voice, he immediately knew who it was and waved towards the place where the voice came from:
"Sofia, are you in town too? Didn't you go mining with your dad?"
Sophia said happily: "I transported the first batch of ore back yesterday, and I'm going to prepare it tomorrow..."
Sophia suddenly couldn't continue speaking halfway because she saw Sean and Dalia Bladesong sitting in Sean's arms.
Why did things become like this? It was obviously me first! Sophia shouted in her heart.
I met His Highness Sean, and I accompanied His Highness Sean to Hetan Town. Why did things become like this?
Could it be that His Highness Sean likes the big sister type?
Chapter completed!
