Chapter 406 - 406 406 The Difficulties of Transporting Supplies

406: Chapter 406: The Difficulties of Transporting Supplies 406: Chapter 406: The Difficulties of Transporting Supplies Zhao Guang was studying the crop in his hands and directly released the Fertilization Technique.

“This is really amazing, I don’t even know the principle behind it,” Zhao Guang nodded as he looked at the wheat that had matured in a short period of time.

Thick and large grains, much better than the earlier plants.

This was not simply growth from the Fertilization Technique, but natural growth that could reach this level.

If he continued to select over a few generations, he could soon double the yield of this wheat.

When he had time later, he would look for native crops, some of which might provide even more exaggerated yields.

After all, in this world, famines were almost unheard of.

Ordinary people might sometimes go hungry, but that wasn’t because there was too little crop produce, but due to other factors.

Besides, even if one went into the wild to gather wild vegetables, it would be impossible to starve to death.

Moreover, as power in this world resided with the individual, it led to a significant issue, which was the low level of rebellion among the common people; sometimes, even with a knife to their necks, these folks might simply submit.

The stability of the kingdoms’ authority was also somewhat linked to this fact.

Therefore, by improving the native crops of this world, he might really change the lack of food on Earth completely.

However, he still had to lay a solid foundation first and fully control his province before anything else.

At the very least, he needed to ensure that introducing something new would not become a source of trouble for himself.

“Master, is there any other work for them?

It seems like they have nothing to do now.”

“If there’s nothing urgent, let them practice their cultivation diligently.

Why must they always be busy?” Zhao Guang thought those Rabbitfolk were too frail; they needed better care, or there was a risk they might die, resulting in great losses.

Xi Fei, however, didn’t think so: “But if we don’t give them tasks, I’m worried they might overthink things.”

“Why?” Zhao Guang asked, somewhat surprised.

“Probably because they fear becoming useless and being abandoned again.”

Xi Fei felt the same way.

Otherwise, why would she strive so hard to enhance her knowledge, align her thoughts more with Zhao Guang, and continuously improve her strength?

The reason was to avoid becoming useless and to be able to assist her master.

Zhao Guang nodded, “I see.

Let’s give them a long-term task then.

Have them select some plants they find useful, and since they are quite skilled in medicine, let them choose some of that as well.”

“It’s winter now, so it might be hard to find some.”

Zhao Guang thought about the vast expanse of whiteness outside and felt somewhat anxious.

“Then we’ll break some river ice and see what kind of aquatic plants are beneath.

Right, those Rabbitfolk are too weak; don’t let them go down directly.

If a few of them were to die, that would be a loss.”

Were there many Rabbitfolk?

Indeed, there were, as many as twenty thousand.

And after the winter, there might even be more Rabbitfolk continuously arriving.

But it was definitely not enough.

His territory was large, and he wanted to expand it even further in the future.

Just these lands alone were not so easy to fully cultivate.

As the logistics and farming race he had identified, Rabbitfolk, in Zhao Guang’s eyes, the more the better.

It was strange, though, that while those Mouse-men had inherited the terrifying reproductive abilities of mice, the Rabbitfolk’s reproductive capacity was so poor.

Zhao Guang had learned that although the Rabbitfolk’s fertility was slightly better than that of humans, it was not significantly so.

“I understand, I will instruct them.

Master, there is another matter; our trade is experiencing some issues.”

“Trade issues?

What’s going on!

Didn’t Miller manage to open trade routes?” He had delegated this entire matter to Miller, and it was unexpected to encounter problems at this time.

“Miller is currently making every effort to expand the trade route, but it’s quite challenging.”

Xi Fei hesitated for a moment: “Apart from the nearby Fla Fortress, even the other nearby territories are hard to access due to the distance from our dwelling.”

As she spoke, Xi Fei took out some documents: “Also, the transportation of slaves and supplies has now come to a halt.”

Zhao Guang finally shifted his gaze from the plants; this was no small matter.

“What’s the reason?

Can it be overcome?”

Xi Fei shook her head, “I’m afraid not, because of the severe cold in winter, the roads are even harder to navigate and it’s difficult to distinguish directions.

This season, the harassment by bandits and various wild Magic Beasts has increased.”

In winter, lacking food, these wild beasts and Magic Beasts naturally set their sights on humans.

Especially the wandering merchant teams, which are like manna from heaven for them.

“Come out with me and see.” Zhao Guang was frustrated; these folks lacked initiative, or their vision was too narrow.

It turned out some things couldn’t be entirely left to them.

Indeed, there were too few capable people in his territory.

It seemed it was time to start expanding the education venture; he couldn’t wait any longer.

Allowing the children to learn faster so that they could become skilled more quickly.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be useful right away, but a few years later, he would probably be grateful for his foresight.

He had previously taught the children to recognize characters; they should now be able to handle some basic learning.

First thing upon returning, he would organize some teaching materials.

No, first, prioritize fixing his translation software.

While thinking this, Zhao Guang, accompanied by Xi Fei, walked outside.

Though it was winter, his area was still very lively.

People were always looking for work, without needing anyone to supervise them.

In this location, many from the poorer classes lived, each with high spirits.

From a distance, seeing Zhao Guang approach, everyone spontaneously paid their respects.

If Zhao Guang hadn’t forbidden them from kneeling, the area might be full of people prostrating themselves.

Because of the earlier winter fishing, people knew how easy it was to catch fish in the river during winter.

From his residence to the river was where most people gathered.

Only, the river looked somewhat troubled, full of holes and uneven surfaces.

Walking there required extreme caution, as one could easily fall through.

As a result, the area seemed as if it were filled with numerous traps.

If not for the medication prepared in advance, many might have fallen ill.

Just looking at the river, Zhao Guang’s expression gradually changed; wasn’t this a ready-made channel?
