Zhao Hai looked at Yu Jinglin, then he smiled faintly and said, "The City Lord is too polite. This time, the beans grew very well and didn't get sick. We just went around to take a look and didn't do anything. There's no need for the City Lord to be so polite."
Yu Jinglin shook his head and said, "No, I've already heard that if it wasn't for Mister, the beans wouldn't have grown so well. Mister is worthy of this great gift."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "City Lord, now isn't the time to talk about this. The beans have been planted for a month and will mature in about two months. Once they're harvested, we can plant another season. But has the City Lord thought about this? After the beans are harvested, how much space do we need to store them? If we don't store them well, then the potatoes will quickly go bad. When that time comes, we can only watch as the beans are thrown away in vain. "
Yu Jinglin was stunned, and then his face changed. He suddenly thought of last winter, when the mountain beans were just harvested, but they had to pile them up outside and then dig a kiln. If they waited until the mountain beans were harvested, it would be too late, and they might miss the next season's planting of the mountain beans.
After thinking about this, Yu Jinglin's expression changed. He immediately turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister is right. I've been negligent in this matter. I'll immediately arrange for someone to do it."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "There's no need for the City Lord to be anxious. Actually, besides this matter, I also have something to tell the City Lord. After this season's beans are harvested, how do you plan to deal with them?"
Yu Jinglin stared, then he thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to keep them and use them for planting in the future."
Zhao smiled and said, "This is the second thing that I wanted to talk to Daren about. Daren shouldn't keep all the mountain beans for planting. Although they are abundant, we still don't know if there will be any problems with eating them. So I wanted to ask Daren to take out some mountain beans and let some people try them. If there really is nothing wrong with them, then that would be the best. But if there is something wrong, then we can find a way to solve it." Zhao smiled and said, "Daren, this is the first thing that I want to talk to Daren about.
When Yu Jinglin heard Zhao Hai, his heart couldn't help but tremble. Yu Jinglin knew that what Zhao Hai said was right. Anything new needs to be tried before they can know whether it's good or bad. If there's something wrong with eating the beans, then it would be troublesome.
Yu Jinglin nodded and said, "Alright, Mister can rest assured. The beans harvested in the first season will be our Sea Spirit City's food. In any case, we don't have much food left. Even if we wait until the beans are harvested, I'm afraid that we'll have to rely on fish to survive for some time."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he smiled faintly and said, "Actually, the City Lord doesn't need to worry. When we were outside, we saw several kinds of beasts. These beasts eat grass, so we can raise them on a large scale in the future."
Yu Jinglin shook his head and said, "Now isn't the time to talk about this. The food in the Mixed Spirit Continent isn't enough for people to eat, let alone beasts. Let's focus on the people first. When no one starves to death, then we'll think about this matter."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Of course I'll listen to the City Lord. However, the City Lord still needs to leave me one mu of land. We still need to conduct experiments on the plants."
"Of course, that's not a problem. Is one mu of land enough?" Naturally, Yu Jinglin had no reason to disagree with Zhao Hai's request. If it weren't for Zhao Hai's experiments, then where would the harvest of beans come from? Because of this, Yu Jinglin decided to support Zhao Hai. He also wanted to see if Zhao Hai would bring him any surprises.
After Zhao Hai thanked Yu Jinglin, he followed Yu Jinglin into the room. After the two sat down, Zhao Hai looked at Yu Jinglin and smiled. "City Lord, this time we'll harvest the mountain beans. Next time, we'll plant that kind of mountain beans. Although it won't be able to reach ten thousand jin per mu, it should still be able to reach six or seven thousand jin per mu." Yu Jinglin nodded, then Zhao Hai nodded.
Yu Jinglin nodded, then with an excited expression, he said, "Right, I also think so. Although we can't reach ten thousand jin per mu, six to seven thousand jin is already a huge number. Although our Mixed Spirit Continent doesn't have a lot of land, as long as we can produce this much, then the food problem of our continent would be solved." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "That's right.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Naturally, this is the best. In fact, I also learned how to raise fish in the Arctic Continent. However, it seems like it's not suitable for the Mixed Spirit Continent. There are too many slave ships outside the continent. Even if we build a fish farm, it would be impossible to keep it. Therefore, I didn't mention this matter. But in the future, if the Mixed Spirit Continent has a good harvest of beans, then I can think of ways to tame some beasts."
Yu Jinglin stared, then he asked, "Mister can actually tame beasts?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "What I'm talking about is different from what you're talking about. What I'm talking about is raising some herbivorous beasts. Once they grow up, we can kill them and eat their meat."
"So it's like this. Haha, Mister's idea is good, but there's no need to rush."
Zhao Hai nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he opened his mouth and said, "The improvement of corn has reached a certain stage. What I need to do next is to improve some other crops and see what kind of effect they have."
Yu Jinglin nodded, then he said, "Mister, please go ahead. I'll give you my full support, but Mister shouldn't be too tired."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I don't know much about what the City Lord said about the Great Families. However, I heard that the Great Families are doing this for the good of the Mixed Spirit Continent. The City Lord shouldn't be too hard on them."
Yu Jinglin smiled faintly and said, "Mister is overthinking it. I don't have any enmity with the Great Families. Naturally, I won't be too hard on them. But this time, I want them to know that I'm telling the truth. When the time comes, they won't be angry with me."
Zhao Hai chuckled and chatted with Yu Jinglin for a while. Then Yu Jinglin left the manor and returned to the city.
In the following period of time, Zhao Hai was busy improving the plants in the villa. Yu Jinglin was also very busy. He led people to look at the mountains around Sea Spirit City. In the end, he chose two mountains and sent a large number of people from Sea Spirit City to chisel stones on the two mountains. They were preparing to make a few large caves in the mountains to store the harvested mountain beans. Moreover, the amount of work this time was relatively large, so the caves needed to be built were very large.
Fortunately, the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent had martial skills, so they weren't afraid of doing manual labor. Because of this, the progress of the project was very fast. These days lasted for nearly a month and a half. On this day, Zhao Hai was in the field looking at the improved products. This time, Zhao Hai wasn't improving food, but rather vegetables.
At this time, a violent rumbling sound was suddenly heard from the direction of Ocean Sky City, followed by waves of battle cries. Upon hearing this sound, Zhao Hai stared. Then his expression changed. He was very clear that this sound wasn't a drill, but a real battle.
Zhao Hai stood up, then he turned his head to the children and said, "Everyone, return to the manor immediately. Don't come out, quickly." The children also heard the sound. Now that they heard Zhao Hai, they immediately followed Zhao Hai back to the manor.
Yu Quan has been in the manor for the past few days. When Zhao Hai and the others returned to the manor, they saw Yu Quan preparing to lead them out. Upon seeing them come back, Yu Quan relaxed and said, "Mister, you're back. Let's go inside the manor."
Zhao Hai replied, "Something seems to have happened in Sea Spirit City. Don't you want to go and take a look?"
Yu Quan shook his head and said, "No need. It should be the slave ships. We experience this several times every year, so it shouldn't be a problem. Let's just wait here. Sea Spirit City should be fighting right now. It should be fine after a while."
Zhao Hai frowned and said, "Is it like this every year? Can't we deal with them properly? "
Yu Quan sighed and said, "What can we do? Sea Spirit City is fine, but there are some places that simply don't have good defenses. Additionally, the ships of the Mixed Spirit Continent aren't as good as the slave ships. We can't catch up with them even if we want to. If we really fight on the sea, then the losses would be even greater. Therefore, we can only shrink back on the shore and take a beating. Although there are ships patrolling the sea, they generally don't go too far. They're just there to act as a warning, they can't fight back. I'm afraid this situation won't change in a short period of time."
Zhao Hai frowned and said, "Are we just going to wait like this? Haven't you thought about stealing two ships to defend? "
"It won't be that easy." Yu Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the dragon bones used on the ships. The dragon bones are made from a large piece of wood. In the Mixed Spirit Continent, there are very few places that can grow this kind of wood. Even if there are, it would be very difficult to transport it here. Additionally, the craftsmen of the Mixed Spirit Continent aren't as good as those of the other continents. Therefore, we've been at a disadvantage these past few years."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "So it's like this. I really can't help you with this, I don't know how to do these things. However, I can help you with big trees. Not to mention other things, I can cultivate some big trees in Shelter Bay. With big trees, we can make big ships." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "So it's like this.
Yu Quan stared, then his eyes lit up as he said, "Can trees be improved? Can it really be done? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Of course it can. As long as it's a plant, a Plant Master can improve it. The Wind Shelter Bay is a rare place with a thick layer of soil. Naturally, we can cultivate wood there."
Yu Quan's face was filled with excitement as he said, "Good. If it's really possible, then that would be great. We can make ships in the future. However, we still need to wait until the beans are harvested. Mister can go to the Wind Shelter Bay and take a look. This matter isn't as important as the beans."
"I know, I can still distinguish the importance of this matter." Zhao Hai nodded.
