With the repair of the Mangrove and the Pearl, they officially joined the voyage. Together with the Thorns, the three brig cargoes were enough to meet the shipping needs between Black Horse Island and Flower Town.
Therefore, the Flower became the exclusive ship for Liszt and territorial officials to travel to and from the island. When it is not needed, it will dock at the Flower Port.
When it is needed, there is no need to wait for the ship to return and set off immediately.
After arriving at Black Horse Island, the port town did not change much. All the serfs were arranged to reclaim various farmlands and excavate the volcanic glass underground. Liszt's requirement was that all the volcanic glass must be mined before all the farmlands on Black Horse Island were reclaimed.
Otherwise, once the farmland was cultivated with crops, it would be difficult to turn the land over for mining.
In the rubber garden, rows of new rubber tree seedlings, centered on the rubber tree cordyceps, grew vigorously. These were the new varieties of cordyceps, and the rubber tree cordyceps were constantly reproducing new rubber tree seedlings without slowing down.
"Is it like a tree seedling that can breed more than 100 acres of rubber garden at one time?" Liszt looked at the rubber garden with relief.
It felt like the land was not planted with rubber trees, but with gold.
After inspecting the rubber garden, he quickly rushed to the pasture, which was recently named Black Horse Ranch. At Black Horse Ranch, Liszt changed to Lightning and ran to the Bone Yard. At this time, the Bone Yard, between the five resurrected dragon bones, was already filled with volcanic glass.
It was volcanic glass that did not release the fire dragon magic.
"When the Count's birthday is over, I must be here, collect the fire dragon magic, and store all the fire dragon magic for a rainy day."
There was no time to do this work now.
He touched the fire dragon bones and felt no change. He still couldn't figure out what the five bones were brewing.
So he could only leave first.
He continued to the north of the island to inspect the green tea plant- with the green tea sprite, the process of breeding green tea trees became simple. He cut the branches of the green tea tree and put them in the ground. Under the influence of the green tea tree cordyceps, these branches germinated easily and grew into new green tea trees.
This world's agriculture still adopted the primitive slash-and-burn method because the sprite worms restricted humans' exploration of farming. Everyone was accustomed to crudely growing crops under the influence of the worm stalks. For lords and serfs, without the worm stalks, it would be a barren wasteland.
Liszt wanted to change all of this.
However, he did not know how to invent chemical fertilizers. At most, he used organic fertilizers. Because of this, he was given the nickname "Dung Vegetable Baron."
"I don't know how to invent fertilizers at all. I only know how to compost and add a little nutrition to the farmland. I don't know how to develop pesticides either. Crops can only wait to die if they get sick. But I shouldn't neglect another point — water conservancy." Looking at a small river flowing by the green tea garden, he thought.
On Earth, many people in China had starved to death during a period of natural disasters. However, with the focus on the research of fertilizers and pesticides, as well as the vigorous construction of water conservancy, the grain production increased year by year. Coupled with the introduction of a large number of high-quality seeds from abroad, as well as improved seeds by Li Zhensheng and other agricultural experts, the crisis of food and clothing was finally overcome.
Fertilizers, pesticides, water conservancy, seeds, in Liszt's view, these were the four means to represent a bumper harvest.
Currently, fertilizers and pesticides were impossible. Seed improvement depended on the sprites. The only thing that could be completed in the territory was probably the water conservancy project.
"When the development order arrives, a new batch of serfs will be transported back to Black Horse Island. The first thing to do is to build a comprehensive water conservancy project and make reasonable use of the water resources of Black Horse Island."
Thus, another agenda appeared on his desk.
Speaking of which, there were too many projects that he needed to vigorously promote now. Almost every industry took a lot of energy to complete. However, he only dabbled in every industry. He didn't want to give up, but he didn't have the manpower to develop it. He could only barely maintain a half-dead state.
If serfs could move freely, he believed that the high welfare would attract a large number of refugees to settle down.
However, serfs were privately owned by the lord and were prohibited from moving. Those free people often did not work in agriculture. They were mostly craftsmen.
In many places, craftsmen did not lack food and drink.
They would not be attracted to Flower Town.
… …
On Black Horse Island, he did not stay overnight. That night, he took the Flowers back to Flower Town. Because the next day was the Count's birthday, he had to rush to Tulip Castle to celebrate his father's birthday.
Just as he was ready to listen to the waves and sleep at sea for the night.
Suddenly, he heard the familiar sound of a horn. It was the siren A Qi calling him. According to the tone and length of the horn, Liszt understood that A Qi had good news to share with him.
Of course, it was impossible to meet in this situation.
So he immediately picked up the horn and blew his answer – meet at the Sea View Villa tomorrow morning.
Sailing all night.
Just before dawn, Liszt returned to the Flower Port. Instead of returning to the castle, he went directly to the Sea View Villa and saw that A Qi was already waiting in the Sea View Villa. She swam very fast and came back here early to rest for the night.
"Brother, you are back. A Qi has something good to share with you."
"What good thing? What pearls did you catch? "
"Not really." A Qi waved downstairs. Soon, the mangrove sprite, Nami, flew up with a fat sprite worm.
Then she stuffed the sprite worm into Liszt's hands.
"Chirp."
She tilted her head and looked at Liszt's pocket.
Seeing the sprite worm, Liszt's eyes lit up, and then he took out a peanut nougat and handed it to Nami.
"Chirp, chirp."
Nami held the peanut nougat and happily flew to the side to taste her food.
Playing with the somewhat nervous dark green sprite worm, Liszt asked in surprise, "A Qi, what kind of sprite worm is this?"
"It's a very, very long plant. It grows densely around the mangrove forest on Mangrove Island. Brother, look, I brought one back. " She said, waving her hand to tie a dark green, slightly yellowish strip of plant with a hose and sent it to Liszt.
Seeing this familiar shape.
Liszt immediately recognized it. "This is kelp. You actually found a kelp sprite worm? Can sprite worms also be bred in the sea? Have you contracted it? "
"Well, I was going to catch it and let you contract it, brother, but it secretly bit A Qi, so A Qi contracted it."
"It doesn't matter, there is no difference between your contract and mine." Even the siren A Qi was Liszt's private property, so he naturally did not mind who contracted this kelp sprite worm.
He was just surprised.
Plants in the sea could also breed sprite worms. In other words, this kelp worm lived in the sea. Liszt then carefully observed and found that the kelp worm was different. It had two gills on its neck, which was probably what it relied on to survive in the sea.
Liszt had to admit that sprites were really strange.
Handing the kelp worm to A Qi to put away, he thought with pain and joy: "Kelp is a delicious food. Now, my territory will have another specialty … So far, I haven't found any kelp in the sea around Coral Island. It's a pity that I have to let it run its course. "
