Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 234: Chapter 123: Four Extraordinary Farms and Spice Worth Gold (Part 2)

The treasury held far more than that. High Tier Battle Armor·Vibranium Rune Armor, High Tier Weapon Rune Sword, Rune Warhammer, and the most Divine Holy Relic of Glory were not directly distributed to the knights, but were left in the treasury, armory, and military depot of Heisen Castle.

The knights usually wore Fine Level training battle armor and wielded their own weapons.

Those deadly weapons and impactful armor were managed by High-level Attendant Chief Hilude, who oversaw everything inside the castle, distributing the powerful forbidden equipment to the knights before the arrival of a great battle.

In fact, this is not a perfect or robust system. The High-level Attendant Chief manages hundreds of elite Directly Affiliated Attendants under her command, assigning her the strongest weapons equipment, meaning she could easily raise a fully armed army within her jurisdiction that other armies could hardly resist.

But who else could be High-level Attendant Chief other than Hilude?

When Su Li sleeps, Hilude can stand guard, sword in hand.

This trust is unique.

Su Li believes that even if everyone else betrays him, Hilude won’t.

She is the confidant who would accompany Su Li even after losing everything, ready to wander the world and rise again.

If Hilude, his closest ally whom he nurtured from nothing to a confidant, is not worthy of trust, then he would indeed be isolated and alone.

However, human hearts are fragile under tests and trials, and Su Li doesn’t want to deliberately challenge human nature just to measure Hilude’s loyalty to him.

Once the right candidates are found, Su Li will separately appoint several people responsible for the armory, treasury, and armor depot.

Su Li thinks Vandar is a good choice, as, firstly, Vandar holds no military power, and secondly, Vandar’s interests align with Su Li’s. Su Li serves as the Lord of the territory, which best suits Vandar’s interests. Because Su Li prefers to relax, he has essentially handed over the agricultural development of the territory to the Dawn Church. This greatly benefits the development of the Dawn Church.

Furthermore, Su Li’s governance philosophy aligns perfectly with the teachings of the Dawn Goddess Reya, as he highly values agricultural pursuits, which is invaluable to the expansion of the Reya Church.

Vandar could hardly find anyone who benefits the Dawn Goddess Church’s interests more than Su Li as the Lord. Even should Vandar personally attempt to usurp the position, it wouldn’t be as beneficial as the current situation. After all, after usurping, Vandar would face many knights’ discontent, triggering widespread rebellion.

That’s precisely why Su Li’s rule is extremely advantageous to the Dawn Goddess Church now, making Vandar highly diligent in his work.

Once Su Li digested this information, he continued with his new report.

”The aforementioned extraordinary farms are mainly located to the north side of Heisen Castle, and part of the spirit medicine fields are even inside the castle, positioned in the open space between the outermost wall and the central castle. The primary function there is as a training ground, which also shoulders the task of protecting the Lion’s Mane Mushroom.”

”The second extraordinary farm is at the Starlight Pool in the Holy Land of the Dawn Goddess Church. After requests from our church, the Provincial Affairs Council and His Excellency Marshal agreed to station the Sun of Vengeance Half-Lion Griffin Knight Order there, guarding our Holy Land and the rose fragrance farm.”

”The Dawn Church has two formal-level nuns stationed here, not only guarding the church holy land but also grafting the rose fragrance fruit trees. This grafting is not in the ordinary sense of a fruit farmer grafting; it involves cutting off branches of rose fragrance and inserting them into the ground or other fruit trees, then having the formal nuns guide the Wind of Jilun to promote the rapid growth of the branches, thereby cultivating new fruit trees.”

”Then, at the appropriate time, they irrigate with the waters from Lake Revelin and the Starlight Pool, enhancing fertility and promoting growth.”

”This process is not quick, but it is costly, whether it’s the vitality potions supplementing the nuns’ magic power or the transportation of Lake Revelin’s water, which will consume a large amount of wealth. We strive to expand the cultivated area to 20 acres before next year’s fruit trees mature, calculating a yield of 5,000 pounds per acre to harvest 100,000 pounds of rose fragrance, a considerable income of 50 Golden Crowns.”

Perhaps having heard about projects yielding hundreds or thousands, a mere 50 Golden Crowns farm struggles to attract everyone’s interest.

But Su Li understands well that this farm is a source of specialty products for a territory in the truest sense, a vital plant that can lead the territory to wealth and prosperity.

Because the apple-like rose fragrance can be extensively planted, so long as it’s around the Holy Land of the Dawn Goddess, it can be planted over dozens of miles, replicating the great project of Bjorn Shallow Bay.

Furthermore, once this variety matures, ordinary farmers can manage an orchard.

Bjorn Shallow Bay was built with the entire territory’s full effort, with the planting area being just dozens of miles.

If the Starlight Pool could also have dozens of miles cultivated into an orchard, with thousands of acres of land, each resident could possess a great deal of wealth.

A ten thousand-acre farm is unimaginable for ordinary residents. But a 10-acre orchard, the free people would likely compete to build.

By then, each ordinary farmer could earn 50 Golden Crowns, with this rose fragrance truly benefiting thousands of households in the territory.

Undoubtedly, this requires the Dawn Church nuns to aid development, and not ordinary nuns.

Otherwise, their spiritual energy won’t suffice, and ordinary residents wouldn’t have enough wealth to hire these extraordinary nuns to help with transplanting and grafting in their orchards.
