Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Diplomatic Incident_1
Yan Xing, having had a full night’s sleep, continued to preside over the Werewolf Clan Leader meeting early the next morning.
During the meeting, he deliberately hastened the progress of various topics. Some tedious and unimportant matters were directly handed over to Gao Sipa and Lao Hansi to discuss with the Werewolf Clan Leaders.
With everyone’s interests aligned, and with Duan’er and Li Zhua present to ensure stability, chaos was unlikely.
Yan Xing then focused his work on the development of the territory and the preparations for the trip to Nuta City.
The Eternal Domain had been upgraded to a town-level administrative hall. Not only could an Archer Training Ground and Archer Camp be built, but an additional peasant cottage and militia barracks could also be constructed.
These buildings were essential for increasing the population and military strength of the domain and had to be built as quickly as possible.
The school was already under construction.
There was another building that was also of great importance.
Fortress: Defensive structure, upgradeable to a castle (A domain with a fortress will see a 10% increase in the output of all recruitment buildings. There is no limit to the number of fortresses, but the increased production effect does not stack).
A fortress is a defensive structure similar to a bunker. It has steep and sturdy walls, with arrow platforms and shooting holes on the upper levels.
As long as there were sufficient materials, a small number of soldiers stationed inside the fortress could hold off an attack from a numerically superior enemy.
The Silvermane Principality on the Wildwind Highlands employed fortress tactics to gain strategic advantage.
Constructing a fortress consumed a great deal of building materials. However, considering its effect of increasing the productivity of recruitment buildings, the cost was worth it, no matter how high.
Manor: Agricultural building, provides tools and rest areas for nearby working farmers, increasing crop yield to a certain extent.
Seeing the manor, with farming deeply ingrained in his genes, Yan Xing couldn’t help but add this building to the list of must-construct options.
Farming is great!
This vast, ownerless, fertile land! How could I not use it to honor the wealth of experience passed down by my ancestors, and the improved seeds developed by Grandpa Yuan Longping?
Yan Xing didn’t know this world’s grain yield per mu. In his original world, the ancient yield per mu was only about 300 to 400 jin, equivalent to around 200 kilograms.
Modern grain yields, however, were over 1,000 jin per mu—more than 500 kilograms!
Even if my technology here is a bit inferior, achieving 800 jin per mu—400 kilograms—would absolutely crush this world’s grain output.
Moreover, improved grain seeds only ensured a high yield for the first harvest; seeds saved from that crop would produce significantly less.
This yield advantage couldn’t be stolen by others, allowing the Eternal Domain to firmly control its food production.
Now that the Werewolf Clan Leader meeting was nearing its end, the grand production and giant leap forward were about to commence, and the demand for grain would naturally increase substantially.
In the future, as grain became recognized as currency by the Werewolf Tribes, Yan Xing could issue Grain Tickets and establish a grain-based financial system.
Over time, the grain reserves of the Eternal Domain would grow increasingly abundant.
Relying entirely on his original world for grain procurement wasn’t a long-term solution. Furthermore, Yan Xing had recently purchased large quantities of grain to exchange for agarwood. Only then did he realize that while grain seemed inexpensive per unit, buying several hundred tons had cost him a staggering 3 million.
Half a fine horse gone, just like that!
Therefore, the Eternal Domain must grow its own grain.
If the yield is high, I can even sell it back to my original world and earn RMB!
The manor needed to be built, as did the irrigation systems for the fields.
Windmills, ox sheds...
The more auxiliary facilities were built, the wider the operation spread out.
Fortunately, the issue with the Werewolf Tribe at the edge of the Northern Thundering Swamp had been dealt with. They now had security and a labor force.
HAHAHA... Once I secure the south, I can just lie back and rake in the riches!
Yan Xing didn’t know how many days it would take to return from the trip to Nuta City, so he worked overtime transferring a large quantity of materials from his original world to the Eternal Domain.
He also notified Auntie Li at Xu Ji Old Store that the canteen on the construction site was ready, and they would no longer be placing large-scale meal orders with her.
Yan Xing bought all the kitchenware Xu Ji Old Store had purchased for catering, getting it at a discount. After all, his own kitchen could use it.
He also bought and loaded up all the extra ingredients that Auntie Li had purchased.
After buying some braised meat and sausages, Yan Xing drove his small truck back to the Eternal Domain.
However, before Yan Xing could even park the small truck properly, the maid Donna came rushing over.
Panting, she reported to Yan Xing, "Master, it’s... it’s terrible! Our chickens... they ate the Poison Flies belonging to the Muddy Pond Werewolf Clan Leader!"
What!
Yan Xing, who had just jumped out of the truck, missed his step and nearly sat on the ground when he heard the news.
Yan Xing stood firm with Donna’s help, asking in astonishment, "What did you just say?"
Donna, supporting Yan Xing, repeated, "Master, our chickens ate the Poison Flies from the Muddy Pond Werewolf Clan Leader. All five of them!"
The main issue isn’t that all five were eaten, is it?
Yan Xing felt his head spinning.
The chickens in the Eternal Domain were raised because the meals in the territory were too lavish and plentiful; there were always leftovers after every meal, no matter how much everyone ate.
It seemed such a waste to throw them away...
So Yan Xing bought over a hundred chickens from his original world and kept them in the domain. Not only could they consume leftover food, but they also laid eggs, and when grown, they could be slaughtered for meat.
One chicken, three uses!
But you chickens! You have perfectly good leftovers, why would you eat a Werewolf Clan Leader’s Poison Flies?
Poison Flies are Fifth Order marsh beasts! A single one can kill a Second Order Great Werewolf with one bite!
They’re the prized possessions of the Werewolf Tribes!
You’re just chickens, future fryer fodder! What right do you have to eat someone’s Poison Flies?!
This is a serious diplomatic incident!
And how on earth does a chicken even eat Poison Flies? And five of them at once, no less!
This is completely unscientific!
Yan Xing took a breath to steady himself. "Donna," he said, "take me to see... I want to know how my chickens developed the ability to eat Poison Flies!"
The chicken coop in the Eternal Domain was located in a corner of the domain. It wasn’t very large and was surrounded by a wire fence so the chickens inside couldn’t escape.
When Yan Xing followed Donna to the chicken coop, he saw many Werewolves gathered around it, standing on tiptoes to look inside.
They were also letting out gasps of astonishment.
Olaf was maintaining order with his Light Armored Werewolf Warriors.
Donna called out, "Master Yan Xing has arrived!"
The previously noisy scene suddenly quieted. All the Werewolves gathered there bowed to Yan Xing as he approached, and then consciously retreated to either side.
Two panicked farmers ran over and knelt anxiously in front of Yan Xing.
They were responsible for managing the chicken coop.
Now that the chickens in the coop had eaten all the Poison Flies belonging to the Muddy Pond Werewolf Clan Leader, the farmers knew they had made a grave mistake and feared severe punishment from their master.
Looking at the two farmers, their heads almost buried in the ground, Yan Xing said calmly, "Get up. As for your punishment, I’ll decide after I’ve seen these chickens you’ve raised. Lead the way."
The two farmers quickly got up, bowed low, and humbly led the way for Yan Xing.
When Yan Xing arrived at the fence of the chicken coop and saw the chickens inside, he was shocked.
"What are these things! Are these the chickens I told you to raise? You haven’t changed breeds, have you!"
