Release that Witch

140. Chapter 140 Seeds

    Shortly after the Assistant Minister left, the prince ushered in a long-lost good news.

    Personal guard Sean, who went to Port of Clear Water to buy crop seeds, is back.

    When Roland followed the guard’s guard and walked into the garden, he saw Sean unloading a bag of bag from the back of the mount with several other personal guards.

    It has been almost a month since the day of set off, and he seems to have a lot of tanned skin and his body has become thinner.

    Seeing the prince appear, Sean immediately stood up and raised his hand. Roland hurried forward and patted him on the shoulder. “Good job. What kind of seeds have you brought back? ”

    Sean crouched down and untied the parcel on the floor. “Pearl rice, eggs, sugar bars…The plants you described, I bought them at Port of Clear Water. It is true that most of them are produced in the fjord country, but Port of Clear Water has a lot of farmland to grow these crops. ”

    “Have you asked the businessman about the method of planting?”

    “Asked, but they can’t say the specific method. They also say that if these plants leave the southern region, it is difficult to live in other places.”Sean grabbed a yellow orange-orange granule from the parcel and spread it in front of Roland. “His Royal Highness, this is Pearl Rice. The merchant said that if I bought it with the Pearl stick, it would be cheaper. However, the Pearl stick is too heavy and not easy to carry. I only bought one complete one, and the rest are peeled seeds. ”

    There is no doubt that Pearl is the corn he is familiar with. He excitedly picked up a corn kernel and looked it in the sun. The fruit is a bit dry and it seems to be storing a winter stock. The yield of corn is naturally higher than that of wheat, and the soil requirements are low. With the transformation of Leaf, it may soon replace wheat and become the main ration of Border Town’s.

    Sean untied another parcel and took out a round brown crop. “This is an egg. I ate it in a hotel in Port of Clear Water. I cut it into a basin and chew it very crisp. There is a faint sweet smell.”

    Seeing this familiar shape, Roland was very impressed. This is clearly a potato! He used his fingers to open the dirty skin, revealing the deep yellow potato inside – compared with the later generations, the potatoes are not big at the time, the tuber color is deep, and not every one grows like an egg. He noticed that there were potatoes in the bag that were long like carrots.

    “This thing is crushed and steamed into a paste to eat better.”

    UhHave you eaten your Highness? ”

    “Well, I have eaten in the palace banquet,” Roland decided to lie, because the name of the egg is too ugly. “The royal chefs don’t call it eggs, but potatoes. The delicious snack steamed out is called mashed potatoes. ”

    “So that’s it, it’s true that it’s your Highness.”Sean exclaimed, he opened the last straight package and pulled out a black stick. “His Highness, I think this crop is the most important.” Port of Clear Water’s honey is very cheap, mostly because of it. I heard in the pub that more and more farmland began to turn sugar sticks. The stalks of this magical plant turned out to be sweet. After peeling off the outer skin, you can extract sugar water. The price is one tenth of honey. It tastes sweeter than honey* water. ”

“……”Roland would like to say that the crop has also been seen by himself. By the way, the name has been changed to sugar cane, but if you think about it, it will not be too late to correct the citizens. Sugar cane can be used as a raw material for the production of sucrose. It can also be used to refine ethanol. It is a crop that can greatly improve the happiness of residents. Think about it, the pancakes made from flour are odourless, but if you put some sugar on it, you can make the taste feel a few layers, even if the salty party like Roland will fall for it.

    “Is there any other crop seeds?”

    “The Port of Clear Water is all about this,” he said, taking five or six bags of small skins from his close pocket and handing it to His Highness. “You told me to bring back the plant seeds that Greycastle had and the small town didn’t bring. I chose them when I passed through Willow Town and Fallen Dragon Ridge, with grapes, soy, cotton, flax and olive tree seeds. But the farmer said that most of the grapes are planted by inserting the branches into the ground. Although the seeds can be planted, the germination period is very slow, and the grapes that are formed are not very tasty. ”

    There are Leafs, these are not problems, Roland thought. Now with the grape seed, maybe try the vine version of the wheat. Soybeans, cotton, flax, and olives are all useful crops. Let Leaf improve the seeds suitable for the climate and soil in the Western Region, and then hand it over to the serfs for small-scale planting. Finally, the Ministry of Agriculture will summarize and improve the preparation and planting. manual.

    “His Royal Highness, I still have some news to report to you,” Sean whispered, “about the Port of Clear Water’s situation.”

    “Related to Third Princess?”

    Sean nodded. “I stayed at Port of Clear Water for nearly two weeks. In addition to buying seeds, most of the rest stayed in the pub. There are rumors that your sister Garcia Wimbledon and Sandpeople have reached an agreement. She provided the land of the southern region to the Sandpeople, while the Sandpeople took her as the king, obeying her recruitment and assignment. During my time in the harbour, I did see a lot of Mojin Clan people on the street. ”

    Mojin people in Extreme Southern Region…Roland is thoughtful, they are most eager for oasis and water, Garcia this hand really looks at the other side of the soft underbelly. But even if you are as daring as Queen of Clear Water, you certainly can’t recruit too many Sandpeople, otherwise the Port of Clear Water’s own safety is hard to say.

    “Sandpeople also has a lot of factions. Impossible all obey her instructions. Do you know which Clan she is pulling?”

    Sean shook his head. “Sandpeople is very wary of the Greycastle people. I can’t buy more detailed information with gold royal. ButOne thing is very strange. The day before I was about to leave Port of Clear Water, Garcia returned from Eagle City, and the city was celebrating her queen defeating the pseudo-president Timothy. As a result, there were four or five murders in the city the next day. The victim was still torn into pieces in the street. ”

    “The Port of Clear Water was subsequently banned and I had to stay there for three more days. The pubs were closed, and everyone gathered in the hotel lobby to talk about this. Some people said that it was the revenge of the pseudo-king, and some people said that it was done by Sandpeople. One of the fjord traders said that he witnessed one of the murders. The abuser is not tall, obviously not Sandpeople, but the strength and speed are not like normal people can have. The security team who heard the news was killed by him, and he was indifferent even if he had a few knives in his body. Until more security officers arrived, the shield spears killed him. Later, when the ban was lifted, I did not dare to stop doing more. I immediately rushed back by merchant ship. ”

    “You did a good job,” Roland thought for a moment. “The gold royals that are left in the seed don’t have to be returned to City Hall, it’s your reward.”

    “Thank you under the court!”

    “The strength and speed are far more than ordinary people, ignoring the pain caused by knife wounds, it sounds like…Church’s pills. ”After the personal guard left, Nightingale’s voice rang in his ear.

    “I think so. But that’s even more unreasonable,” Roland frowned. “According to Sean, Garcia will only get pills earlier than me, and support both sides to compete for the throne…What are they thinking about? ”There is a faint idea in his heart. Isn’t Church’s real purpose not to see a stable Greycastle?
