Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Magic Transformation Seed

In the end, Aslan had no choice but to ask Gwenaville to show the paper airplane to Merlin and Nigel.

He doesn't want to continue wasting time here.

In fact, he has already asked Merlin and Nigel to develop flying props. For example, the last time Verdilon went to rescue Kruzer's bullet airship, that was their experiment.

Because Aslan didn't understand aerodynamics at all, it was easier to develop an airplane from scratch than to study a magic airship.

After all, there are not no magic airships on the mainland. There are three in the Magic Capital, and there is also one in the Arizona Magic Empire.

But now he doesn't need to take care of these things. Gwennaville, an enthusiastic little girl, is going to help, which will make Nigel and Merlin a headache.

During the luncheon, Aslan invited Duke Durandal to have dinner with him again.

The two sides talked happily, and Aslan brought out the herbicides and insecticides in due course, and at the same time brought out the latest improved wheat and corn crops.

"Marquis Aslan, who is this?" Duke Durandal looked suspiciously at the things in front of him. He couldn't figure out what Aslan meant for a long time.

He may understand the two bottles of medicine, but what do corn and wheat mean?

As a qualified nobleman, it is very rare for him to be able to recognize wheat, and he can't see the difference between the wheat in front of him and the wheat he sees in ordinary times.

"These two agents, one is an insecticide and the other is a herbicide, which can be used in agricultural production. The name of the wheat is 'Billy No. 2', which evolved from the basis of Billy City wheat, and its yield is that of ordinary wheat. Four times, this is Heilong corn, which was introduced and evolved from the Asian East subcontinent, and the annual yield is about three thousand catties per mu."

For the rest, Aslan didn't need to say too clearly, the Duke of Durandal already understood what Aslan meant, and at the same time, he also understood why the grain production in Melox Province was so high.

If these two crops are introduced to the northern provinces, the food problem in the northern provinces can be solved to a great extent.

Duke Durandal suddenly remembered that before he left, Duke Uzmi had mentioned to him the purchase of fertilizers from the province of Melox, a magical item that can increase the fertility of the land.

"The Marquis of Aslan means that he is going to cooperate in the grain business?" Duke Durandal's thoughts changed sharply, and he was still calm on the surface.

"Are you interested? With these things, under the guidance of my agricultural staff, it is enough to increase the grain production in the territory by more than ten times. Your Excellency should have noticed that there has never been a fallow field in my territory!" Aslan smiled. Said.

Duke Durandal's eyes widened, and he finally realized the crux of the matter.

In order to ensure the fertility of the land, most farmers divide the fields into three parts and cultivate them in turn, which wastes two-thirds of the land. Coupled with high-yield crops, the grain output has doubled by more than ten times, which is not empty talk.

With the current price of grain, it is a bit too much to say that they are growing gold, but there is nothing wrong with saying that they are growing silver coins.

"Marquis Aslan! What do you want from me?" Duke Durandal asked.

"It's very simple!" Aslan took out a contract from the magic space and handed it to Duke Durandal.

This is a cooperation treaty. Aslan leases the land of the Duke of Durandal to grow food. Aslan provides technology and seeds, and Durandal will send people to be responsible for the cultivation. Yicheng is the Duke of Durandal.

This agreement seems unfair, but it is actually not a loss for Duke Durandal. If it is true as Aslan said, the output can reach ten times, and the harvest of 10% is more than his previous one.

This can be regarded as a kind of exchange of technology for income. Aslan's contract was signed for ten years, but Duke Durandal abruptly changed it to five years.

Duke Durandal knew very well that as soon as five years passed, all the land developed by Aslan would belong to him, and the serfs were also trained by the officials sent by Aslan to become small farming experts.

When the time comes, he will be able to obtain the grain foundation left by Aslan as long as he follows the steps, and then expand the planting area on this basis. Maybe he can take this opportunity to become the largest grain supplier in the Kingdom of Cleveland.

As long as that step is achieved, the grain price in the Kingdom of Cleveland can be completely controlled by him from now on.

Under the commercial operations of the Maxim Chamber of Commerce over the years, the mainland nobles have also learned some advanced business knowledge, such as the huge profits of industrial monopoly.

The two sides fought hard on the basis of food distribution and land use period without giving in at all. It took a full two hours before both sides got their own satisfactory answers.

"I can understand herbicides, but what is the effect of insecticides? Can it kill locusts?" Duke Durandal put away the contract and asked with a smile on his face.

Aslan nodded and said.

"It was specially developed for locusts, but after spraying the plants, they must not be eaten within a week. It is very likely to cause poisoning, and those who ingest too much toxin may even be life-threatening."

Duke Durandal nodded. He didn't care too much about it, as long as he controlled the timing of the insecticide.

Duke Durandal left New Merlot Castle with a smile on his face. Aslan, who should have been depressed, couldn't help showing a smug smile when he stepped out of the gate of New Merlot Castle.

Insecticides also have another effect, which Aslan did not mention, that is, they will reduce crop yields.

Its effect can only be reflected on the three crops of wheat, corn, and rice. The crops that mainly belong to these three systems, as long as they are sprayed, the crops will definitely reduce their yield by one-third, so that Aslan's magical transformation can be reduced. The high yield of seeds is more prominent.

Coupled with the characteristics of herbicides, once these two chemicals are fully used in the Kingdom of Cleveland, it will definitely cause a new wave of food shortages.

At that time, the high-yield grain seeds in Merlot City will be fully promoted, and Aslan can take this opportunity to buy grain. As long as the grain is not too low, both the people and the nobles must sell the grain to aslan.

Is it okay not to sell it? Of course, but don't even think about buying food seeds from Aslan next time. As long as you plant the original seeds, facing the old seeds with reduced production, it is better to plant high-yield magically modified seeds, at least you can make a small profit.

After coming and going, Aslan easily became the largest food supplier in the Kingdom of Cleveland without doing anything.

As for keeping the grain seeds, there is no need to worry at all, because after the first generation, the grain output of each subsequent generation will be reduced by half, and it will only be reduced to weeds in the end.
