Planting radishes was indeed more profitable than planting oil fruit trees. The profits of both sides were simply not equal. Radishes could be sold for 8000 gold coins per season while oil fruit trees could only be sold for 2700 gold coins per month.
But don't forget that the Markey Company that Green contacted was already one of the largest companies in the continent. Every month, they would only be able to digest 400,000 jin of radishes. After all, for the people of the continent, the price of a jin of radishes for 1 silver coin was something that many people couldn't afford.
In other words, Zhao Hai would only need to plant five seasons of radishes per month. That would be enough for a month's consumption. If he planted more, they wouldn't be able to sell them. Five seasons of radishes, for Zhao Hai, would only take 40 hours, less than two days.
Then what would they plant for the rest of the time? Would they use the Space to plant ordinary vegetables? There was no need to think about it. Once those vegetable seeds entered the Space, they would immediately be emptied. You simply wouldn't be able to plant them. Plant vegetable seeds in the Space? Zhao Hai still didn't know if these vegetables could be sold for a good price in the continent. Even if these vegetables were like radishes, they would be considered magic vegetables in the continent. But if these vegetables didn't exist in the continent, then it would take some time for the people of the continent to accept them. Moreover, the demand for them wouldn't be big. It would be better to plant oil fruit trees.
Cooking in the continent required oil. Moreover, fruit oil was very cheap. Ordinary people might not be able to afford meat, but they would certainly be able to afford oil. And these people were often commoners. They had to engage in heavy physical labor and needed more nutrients. Therefore, fruit oil became their first choice. The consumption of fruit oil in the continent every day was an astronomical figure. Therefore, fruit oil was a sustainable industry. Although the profits weren't as much as radishes, it would still make most of the nobles jealous.
A monthly income of over 2,700 gold coins was an astonishing figure. Even a small Duchy might not be able to collect that much in taxes. It must be known that the purchasing power of gold coins on the continent was astonishing.
One gold coin could be exchanged for ten silver coins, one silver coin could be exchanged for one hundred copper coins, and one copper coin could be exchanged for one jin of fruit oil or half a jin of rice.
Rice and oil were still very cheap on the continent. Fruit oil was because of the high production rate, while rice was generally eaten by slaves. Now, many commoners were eating rice.
As for Zhao Hai and the other 100 people, their monthly living expenses were actually not much. Even if they gave the slaves good food every day, about 100 gold coins would be enough, leaving them with a net of 2,600 gold coins.
And don't forget, they could also buy five seasons of radishes. Even if they couldn't get 8,000 gold coins per season, they could still get 6,000 gold coins per season. Five seasons would be 30,000 gold coins. In other words, Zhao Hai's space could generate a net profit of 32,000 gold coins per month. This was very amazing.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wasn't very satisfied with this. He was used to seeing radishes that could be sold for several thousand gold coins per season. Looking at the fruit oil that could only be sold for 2,000 gold coins per month, Zhao Hai certainly didn't have any interest.
But Green also thought this way. After he knew about the characteristics of the farm, he thought about what Zhao Hai had asked him to inquire about. He understood Zhao Hai's meaning. Zhao Hai wanted to develop farming and raising crops side by side, developing them together.
Radish leaves could be obtained, which could be used to feed the blue-eyed rabbits. But don't forget, the blue-eyed rabbits couldn't just eat radish leaves. Sometimes they also needed to add some other ingredients. The oil residue from the fruit oil was one of the best feedstuffs. When the time comes, not only would they use the oil residue to raise blue-eyed rabbits, they could also raise other magic beasts. Compared to the most common magic beasts in the continent, horses and cows.
Horses and cows raised with this oil residue were very strong. So as long as it was an oil producing land, it would also be a good breeding land for horses. Although they would only produce ordinary horses and not high level magic beasts like the flame horse, these horses were very strong and very popular.
In addition, not only could the oil residue be used to feed magic beasts like horses and cows, but even some water magic beasts liked to eat it. This way, the fish farming industry could be set up. This additional industry could also bring them huge profits.
It was precisely because of these ideas that Green was so excited. He walked around the room several times before stopping. He took two deep breaths and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
Zhao Hai and the others understood why Green laughed. It was because Green had been holding back for too long. If it was said that after Zhao Hai woke up, he felt a lot of pressure, then Green's pressure had always been very big. He and Merine had watched the Buda clan go from glory to decline. They had thought that the Buda clan would slowly die out. If it wasn't for this idea, he wouldn't have exchanged all the money in his hands for supplies.
Although Zhao Hai later changed for the better, Green was still very worried at that time. This was because the Buda clan didn't have a stable source of income. For the Buda clan, this was a fatal weakness.
But after understanding this space, all of Green's worries suddenly disappeared. He felt that in his originally dark life, there was suddenly a sun, a shining sun that swept away the haze in his heart.
Zhao Hai and the others didn't stop Green. They knew that Green needed to vent. He was too happy.
After a while, Green calmed down. "Master, when we get out of here, we'll immediately send the magic radishes to the Marqidale firm. Then we'll use the money to buy the things we need. We'll need machines to extract the oil, so we'll have to buy those things." Zhao nodded, then turned to Green and said, "Master, after we get out of here, we'll immediately send the magic radishes to Marqidale firm.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I know this. But Grandpa Green, right now we have a big problem that needs to be solved. Those magic beasts and carrion swamps outside. Even if our plan is good, we can't hide in this space forever. We still have to go out and develop our territory. But if we encounter those magic beasts as soon as we go out, what should we do?"
Green calmed down. He frowned and kept stomping around the room. He was very clear that what Zhao Hai said was right. Right now all of their plans were empty. They were like bubbles in the air. When the wind blows, they won't disappear without a trace. If they were attacked by magic beasts as soon as they go out, then don't talk about development, they might not even be able to protect themselves.
But how can this problem be solved? There was simply no solution. Although Green was very confident in his skills, he also understood that it was impossible for them to conquer the carrion swamps. After so many years, countless strong people had appeared on the continent. But the five forbidden areas were still the five forbidden areas. They hadn't been conquered yet. From this point, one could see how formidable the five forbidden areas were.
But after walking around several times, Green didn't have any good ideas. He couldn't help but sigh and sit at the table. His lofty aspirations disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Zhao Hai also didn't have a solution to this situation. The continent's five forbidden areas were notorious. No one could say with confidence that they could escape unscathed. They didn't want to enter the carrion swamps, but the magic beasts' attacks made them feel very distressed. After all, their current strength was too weak.
Seeing that Green's mood was somewhat gloomy, Zhao Hai had to open his mouth and say, "Grandpa Green, you should tell us about the situation outside." While speaking, Zhao Hai couldn't help but look at the screen. Seeing this, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but shrink. This was because he clearly saw that on the screen, a green dot had appeared.
Zhao Hai immediately stood up and walked in front of the screen. Green and the others also noticed Zhao Hai's movements. Zhao Hai didn't immediately look at the situation inside the castle. Instead, he carefully counted the green dots on the screen.
There weren't many green dots on the screen, only a dozen or so. But there was no doubt that they had just appeared. This was because the green dots on the screen had disappeared two days ago.
Merine and the others also stared at the screen. Meg said, "What's going on? How can these things appear again? "
Green said in a deep voice, "There's nothing to be surprised about. When I came to the castle, there were still a lot of magic beasts and undead wandering around the Black Waste. If it wasn't because I couldn't wait, I wouldn't have taken the risk to rush in. Those things might have chased me inside."
Zhao Hai nodded. His hand touched the screen, and the inner castle's courtyard appeared on the screen. It was also the place with the most green dots. The scene on the screen changed to the courtyard, and a dozen or so undead creatures appeared on the screen.
Yes, all that appeared on the screen were undead creatures. There weren't any magic beasts. When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he couldn't help but stare blankly. He remembered that two days ago, the last ones to leave weren't the magic beasts, but the undead creatures. What was going on?
Zhao Hai carefully looked at the screen. After confirming that his judgment was correct, he opened his mouth and said, "Grandpa Green, why are there only undead creatures here? And two days ago, I also saw that the last ones to leave were the undead creatures. What's going on? "
Green didn't speak, but Merine said, "There's nothing strange about this, Master. The undead creatures have an almost crazy thirst for fresh flesh and blood of living creatures. They can smell the scent of living creatures in many places and feel their presence. When Green ran from the Black Waste to the castle, he was naturally discovered by the undead creatures. In this regard, the magical beasts can't compare to the undead creatures."
Zhao Hai nodded. The scene changed to the living room. There was also an undead creature wandering around. This undead creature was in the shape of a crocodile. It was more than ten meters long, but now only a skeleton was left. It was shaking its head and wagging its tail in the living room. Its whole body was glowing with green light. It looked very scary.
