The fertility of Elf Bugs requires a major quantity of vitamins, and the barren Peanut Fields restricted the event of the Elf Bugs, leading to all of the peanut seedlings across the central a part of the sector almost dying from concentrated nutrient deficiency.

The answer to treatment this was easy, fertilizing the Peanut Fields was wanted.

Liszt recalled his data about farming and stated to Previous George.

“Previous George, I’m entrusting you with a number of duties. First, mobilize the farmers to gather firewood and useless grass in every single place, burn them, and collect the remaining wooden ash. Second, get able-bodied farmers to dig pond mud, simply the layer on the backside of the pond. Third, have the youngsters accumulate feces, no matter what form, simply choose it up.”

Previous George had no questions relating to the orders from Lord Landlord, “Understood, Lord Landlord, Previous George will certainly perform your instructions.”

After Previous George hobbled away.

Liszt turned to Goltai and stated, “Instructor Goltai, I’m guessing the feces collected in Peanut Hamlet received’t be sufficient. Go to the city and set up it so that every one farmers accumulate feces… Nicely, let’s do it this manner, purchase the feces within the title of the Administrative Officer, setting the worth at one copper coin per basket.”

Copper cash, silver cash, Gold Cash, and Dragon cash are the common currencies on this world.

Nevertheless, totally different empires, kingdoms, and grand duchies situation their gold, silver, and copper cash, which all differ from each other. The copper coin talked about by Liszt is the foreign money of the Duchy of Sapphire, with which one should buy roughly 4 loaves of bread, sufficient to feed an grownup for a number of days.

A silver coin can change for 100 copper cash, a Gold Coin for 100 silver cash.

As for Dragon cash, formally often called Sapphire Dragon cash, they’re gemstone cash imbued with the Magic Energy of the Grand Duchy’s distinctive Sapphire Dragon, price ten thousand Gold Cash, and are magic gadgets in themselves.

Upon listening to this, Goltai couldn’t assist however complain, “Wow, Liszt, why would you pay such a excessive worth for soiled, lowly feces, which moreover stinking and polluting our sense of scent, are nugatory.”

“No, feces are very helpful. Simply perform the publication, and discover a place to build up the feces, ideally an uncultivated land away from the upwind,” Liszt understood the worth of feces properly. Within the absence of chemical fertilizers and inadequate Elves, the most effective supply of fertilizer for farming was feces.

As a serious landlord who owned all of the land in Contemporary Flower City, Liszt had many fields to domesticate, and he wanted ample fertilizer. He additionally disliked the concept of his city’s streets being affected by carelessly disposed of feces and urine, as such circumstances had been an affront to civility.

He deliberate to purchase feces long-term for 2 functions: to make use of as compost and for sanitation—selling the utilization of bathrooms was not possible in the meanwhile, so shopping for feces was essentially the most cost-effective method.

“However the worth is simply too excessive. One copper coin can buy ten baskets, no, twenty baskets,” Goltai steered.

“Simply do as I stated, Instructor Goltai,” Liszt’s tone carried a touch of sternness.

With that, Goltai stopped his complaints, unfold his palms and stated, “As you want.”

…

In these days, the owner was the authority.

When Liszt’s orders got, nobody dared to shirk or evade them, so the clerks and farmers had been very fast to behave, and the pond mud, feces, and wooden ash he required had been already piled up in Peanut Hamlet.

“Very properly, Previous George, now lead the folks to combine these supplies collectively then dig a gap subsequent to the foundation of every peanut seedling, sprinkle a few of this combination in, and bury it. Then water the vegetation and weed diligently, I consider the peanut seedlings will recuperate quickly.”

Mounted on his Fireplace Dragon Horse, Liszt cheerfully directed the farmers of Peanut Hamlet to fertilize the Peanut Fields.

As a landlord, he naturally wouldn’t do the work himself—the noble system didn’t permit it, and he personally had no want to.

The whole space of the Peanut Fields in Peanut Hamlet is about 100 acres, roughly the dimensions of ten soccer fields or seven or eight elementary faculties. There are twenty-three farming households in Peanut Hamlet, comprising ninety-two folks.

Ninety-two serfs, excluding youngsters who can’t work, plus the serfs introduced in from the city, amounted to 1 hundred and twenty folks, all busily working.

“Instructor Goltai, how many individuals are there in Contemporary Flower City?”

“Uh, sorry, Liszt, I haven’t been on the town lengthy sufficient to type that out clearly.” Goltai was unclear and turned to ask a clerk, “You’ve lived within the city for a few years, are you aware what number of households there are and the inhabitants? Over a thousand folks?”

“I don’t know, Lord.” The clerk shook his head.

Goltai checked out one other clerk.

This clerk shook his head as properly.

Thus, not a single individual in the entire of Contemporary Flower City knew precisely how many individuals there have been. Liszt was speechless. Was Contemporary Flower City a forgotten place? Had the executive officers of Coral Island by no means come to conduct a census earlier than? Had the earlier Administrative Officer by no means achieved a inhabitants survey both?

“We’d like an intensive census. A landlord who doesn’t even know the inhabitants of his personal territory is really speechless.”

Pondering this, he had already ordered, “Instructor Goltai, set up manpower, hurry to rearrange the census. I must know what number of households there are in Contemporary Flower City, how many individuals, the names and household relationships of every individual, in addition to their occupations, ages, genders, and marital standing.”

“That is going to be busy, Liszt. You understand, there are too few officers within the city. Now we have no Finance Officer, no Protection Officer, no Authorized Officer, no Diplomatic. In reality, we don’t even have an Administrative Officer. I needs to be serving as your advisor, not the city’s Administrative Officer.”

In a Noble’s territory, civil officers are principally led by the advisor, who oversees the Administrative Officer, Finance Officer, Protection Officer, Authorized Officer, and the Diplomatic.

The army officer is the Knight Commander, who oversees the Knight Order.

There was little question, Goltai, as a down-and-out Honored Knight, low-level within the feudal system however nonetheless a Noble, had adopted Liszt right here with the intention of changing into an advisor. And the opposite knight trainer, Marcus, undoubtedly, ought to function the Knight Commander… whether or not Contemporary Flower City might afford to take care of a Knight Order was one other matter.

“Don’t rush, Instructor Goltai. Contemporary Flower City is awash with issues to be achieved and my Fortress awaits its rise. First handle the city’s affairs for me and full the census.”

Liszt didn’t wish to instantly delegate advisory powers to Goltai. It wasn’t for concern of being outmaneuvered, however quite as a result of Goltai’s thoughts was stuffed with the feudal system and he wasn’t grounded sufficient to maintain up with Liszt’s improvement plans.

“Alright then, Liszt. You’ve come of age and have the mindset of a certified landlord. I heed your command,” Goltai saluted with one hand, displaying his Noble breeding, calm and composed.

…

For 3 days in a row, Peanut Hamlet was bustling with the fertilization course of, which was a major agricultural mission. The 100 acres had been quickly all fertilized with a mixture of pond mud, manure, and ashes from vegetation and bushes.

Particularly the central plot of land, which acquired a number of instances the fertilizer.

Liszt additionally got here right here to direct the operation for 3 days and when every little thing was achieved, all he might do was wait, look ahead to the Peanut Fields to be improved.

“I’ve achieved every little thing I can, hopefully the duty can be accomplished quickly.” He wasn’t one to dwell on issues, so as soon as work right here was over, he rapidly moved on to different property affairs.

An important was the Elf Bug.
