Chapter 251: The Thing that Could Win Him the World

Imagine, that if he had the fertile lands of the Central Plains and brings this crop to that land. Imagine the output of such food.

A world of prosperity could be realized. People would have food to eat, can trade in peace, the empire is strong, the people is protected.

Even if he took the Central Plains with blood and steel, as long as he could erect a world of such prosperity, his name in history would not be as bloody as Genghis Khan.

Instead, he would be called one of the great rulers of the world.

But when he started thinking about this, he also began thinking about something else. The items that the system give, is it normal items?

No, it shouldn’t be.

Because none of the things that the system give should be normal things.

You see, even though these vegetables is quite hardy, if it is planted in the land of the Great Steppe, the care that one must give to it is important

While these vegetables have the potential to be grown in the Great Steppe, successful cultivation would require careful consideration of local soil conditions, water availability, and climate patterns.

Additionally, choosing regionally adapted varieties can enhance the chances of a successful harvest.

But is Aeryon a farmer?

Of course, he could use the farmer that he have to tend to these vegetables. But, some of these vegetables is never seen before and probably did not even exist in this continent

Like potatoes. Aeryon wonder if this world is the same as his world and potatoes could only be found in central America.

Maybe, this world also has a place like the Central America

The problem was at that time Aeryon did not have any farmers

But he tries anyway. To cultivate these crops. Because there was something he wanted to confirm

All of the vegetable that he have all have its pros. Potatoes with the most pros.

In his world, potato is the world fourth most important crop after rice, wheat and maize, and the first among non-grains.

It is adopted globally

That is a small crop that conquer the whole world

In his world, the humble potato was domesticated in the South American Andes and was only brought to Europe in the mid-1500s, from where it spread west and northwards, back to the Americas, and beyond.

What made the potato so irresistible is its unrivalled nutritional value

its relative easiness to cultivate as compared to some major cereals, its ability to easily navigate wars and tax censuses due to its knack for hiding underground from collectors, and in particular, its camaraderie with working men and women in the fields.

Carrots on the other hand could be found in the lower part of the Yindu mountain on the side of the Yindu border.

All of these crops , these vegetables have pros. But they also have cons.

Carrots for example, require loose, well-drained soil, and consistent watering is essential for good root development.

Potato need well-drained soil and consistent watering. Frost can damage the plants, so planting at the right time is crucial. It also degrade the soil

Aeryon did not want to introduce the Great Famine to his territories.

Onions is sensitive to overwatering and proper curing and storage are also essential. Cabbage prefers cool temperate and susceptible to certain pest and diseases

Radishes may become woody if not harvested promptly and they prefer well drained soil.

Peas, prefer cooler temperature and hot environment may affect their yield

Proper support for climbing variety of peas is necessary. Aeryon knows he is not a farmer But for the experiment he wanted to do, he did not need to be a farmer.

So, he started it.

of course, this one is a secret project of his and he did not from anyone even Mayeux.

He choose a place and he planted all of these vegetables at one place. He has some basic of farming, enough to know where to dig, how to get the seeds, how to plant, how to create word support

But that is as far as his farming knowledge goes.

And then he went to Nurshira. He fought there and then return just as winter is approaching its middle cycle.

He check on these crops. And lo and behold. His experiment worked All of these corps are alive and well.

Aeryon then took these vegetables, and repeated the same process again

And after a few weeks, Aeryon had concluded something

"The things given by the system is perfect. When introduced into the world, it would degrade."

Aeryon discovered that the first batch of potatoes and other vegetables that he got from the system is perfect.

It lacks any of the cons that these vegetables had. It did not have to be tended carefully. Aeryon could basically just throw it in the ground and it could still grows.

But when he did the second planting using the seeds of the fruits batch of vegetables, he found out that it began to have the same cons.

Though, it is still high-quality vegetables.

The cons did not affect these vegetables very much.

But Aeryon has a hypothesis. The more it is repeated the lower the quality become until the potatoes would simply become like the potatoes of this world. It is the same for the other vegetables

"though I still don’t know how many times it could be replanted before it truly reached such a state"

Aeryon has harvest it a few times and even after the fourth time of harvest, the cons are still negligible.

This alone could change the power of his tribe.

Why does tribe fought for each other?

Isn’t it because of resources?

Now, winter has come.

How many people would die in the winter?

Some would die because of the cold. Some would die because they could not eat. Some would die because of fighting.

But at least Aeryon did not have to worry about the food. And with meat, he could train the new generation

With meat, the new generation would become stronger in the future. They would be taller and stronger.

"The Great Steppe is not suitable to be a farming area. But with my vegetables that is given by the system, I could implement a certain farming system that would yield many resources of food. And if I got the Central Plains or even Western Zhou, if I introduce these vegetables, then that place could become the breadbasket of my empire."

At that time, Great Steppe would be a place to herd horse sand Tayak and other livestock while food would be transported from these breadbaskets states to feed the entire Empire.

This is why Aeryon is confident. Right now, even if the only thing the system gave him is these vegetables card, he could still won the world

Food.....could win him the world.

Nobody would have this kind of thought if they were Aeryon.

Having such system, they would focus more on the attributes point.

They might even fighting all the time to get more attributes to strengthen themselves, looking at this world simply just like a game

It is like a game. But that is only about the panel.

Aeryon feel this strongly. The pain he felt is real. The people he met are real. They have their own complicated thoughts and the world does not make him the protagonist without reason.

He had to fight for it. If not, how could today Aeryon is established so well in the Steppe? He would not. If he didn’t fight for it

Treating it like a game would blind you to certain things. This world is a worldly way and worldly way requires benefit and loss

Attributes is important. But knowing how to use it is even more important.

But Aeryon look at it from another way.

Force? It is good to have it.

But you could not rule the world by only having force. You could not govern the world and bring prosperity with only force.

Leaving a legacy requires stability. Requires prosperity.

What happens after the world is pacified? What happens when he begins to rule the world? He wanted to rule a paradise.

Not hell.

And he found the solution in this Vegetable Supply Card. The seed is taken away and planet

Aeryon is determined to farm these vegetables that he have

Most of them is now farmed by the farmers he kidnapped from Yan

These farmers are weak in fighting but they are good in farming. And with the resources he got he is also buying slaves from the other tribes.

All of these tribes all wanted his resources of food and meat and arms and they happily send the slaves to them

Some of small clans and tribes even organized a hunting party to go down to the south to capture Yan people.

Before, in the tribes the slaves is used to do hard labour.

But Aeryon is different.

The Yan slaves that he bought is used to farm the area. The system vegetables could probably be planted anywhere and still be fertile

Only after a few planting that it would become like a normal seed and would began to show weakness and failure.

Aeryon is not that worried because someday, when he rode toward Western Zhou and took back the land of their forefathers, that is when the production of food would explode.

For now, it is good enough to feed his now expanding tribe.
