A month later, Lin Rui came to the barn area again.
In addition to Olga, he was also accompanied on the inspection by Iblin, who dressed herself up as a maid under the pretext of taking care of Lin Rui's life.
Of course, there were 10 guards following him.
"Oh... there have been quite a few changes here..."
Before reaching the scheduled village, Lin Rui, sitting in the carriage, just looked at the barn area that was already in operation, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, this is all thanks to the master's decision and wisdom. Not only did he improve the soil quality, he also designed a complete reclamation plan and taught us how to distribute fertilizers. Since I started serving the master, I feel that the master is truly a gift from the gods to us. It seems that my piety has moved the gods."
Olga clasped her hands together and looked toward the sky outside the carriage, making a gesture of thanks to the gods.
She is still as talkative as ever.
"All of this... was accomplished by the master alone? That's amazing. The master is not only good at fighting, but also has a way of governing the territory. He is truly worthy of being the master."
Because Iblin was not with Lin Rui when the barn area was being developed, all she could do now was to express her admiration for Lin Rui without reservation.
"You two...sooner or later you two will praise me to the sky..."
Olga and Iblin are the most talkative among the dark elves around Lin Rui.
But this is normal. Not to mention the two girls, even Lin Rui was shocked by the drastic changes in the barn.
Compared with the lifeless saline wasteland when I came here before, the granary area has really transformed from the north to the south in just four weeks.
The plowed black soil was neatly planted with potatoes and taro as emergency food. The ridges covered with green vines and leaves were like vast grasslands. Occasionally, young dark elf farmers would lead livestock that looked like sheep and were covered in white cotton wool through the green fields.
For a moment, Lin Rui couldn't even tell whether what was in front of him was a ranch or a farm.
Lin Rui and his team were soon discovered by the village sentry. The news that the savior was coming to inspect spread, and the village chief hurriedly took the elders to the village entrance to wait for them.
"Master! Meet the Master!"
Different from their skinny and sickly appearance a month ago, now the villagers, whether they are carrying wooden hoes to work in the fields or repairing and tidying up farm tools in their own yards for the upcoming harvest, are all full of energy and no longer look sickly.
"It's great to see you all looking so radiant and full of energy. Now everyone can have a full meal."
Lin Rui asked about the meal right away. The village chief was honest and did not hide his answer:
"Since we don't have to worry about water anymore, we collect wild grass and mushrooms from the mountains or forests every day to support our two meals a day. Otoko Castle distributes wheat flour and high-quality salt every few days, so it's no problem for everyone to fill their stomachs. People have strength after eating, and they can work more efficiently. Every household in the village also grows some fast-growing leafy vegetables to supplement the table. If we are lucky and can catch some prey, we can even have a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a soup that day."
According to Lin Rui's standards, life in the village is still quite hard, but compared with those people who used to have only two meals every three days and went hungry one day every five days, it is already considered well-off.
But Lin Rui still couldn't help but sympathize with them. After all, he lived a life of luxury and no worries about food and clothing.
But at this point he could do nothing.
It was midsummer now, and the time for wheat planting had long passed. This year everyone had to rely on potatoes and taro to survive.
By the way, can we really feed more than 2 people in the territory with only potatoes and taro, which are foods that digest very quickly? Although the expected output is 10 shi of grain, the same amount of wheat, potatoes, and taro are completely different things.
When Lin Rui raised this concern, the village chief smiled as if to say "no need to worry at all".
The other party said: "In fact, thanks to the master's foresight, we were able to spread fertilizer on the land. Since the master started teaching us how to apply fertilizer on the land, the crops in the village have become amazing."
“Amazing?”
Lin Rui asked back, and the village chief nodded and said, "Yes. Whether it's potatoes or taro, their growth method is very unusual, growing fast and big. Every day when everyone is farming, they say that the fertilizer allocated by the owner is really amazing."
"……what?"
Lin Rui couldn't help but doubt his ears.
The fertilizer he distributed was just a very common fertilizer made by fermenting the feces of various animals together.
Even if no fertilizer has been applied in the past, it is impossible for the plant to grow rapidly in just a few days after fertilization.
"Oh, I have to report this to you formally. It's only been eight days since we spread the fertilizer you allocated on the fields, and the taro leaves are already more than twice the size of usual. Whether it's the blessing or the fertilizer, the master is really amazing."
"More than twice? Well, Village Chief, can you accompany me to the fields to have a look? I want to confirm it with my own eyes! Tumor Umbrella +8 Find Shu Group: Next."
"Okay, okay, we'd appreciate it if you'd take a look."
Just by listening to other people's descriptions, it is still difficult to imagine how the crops in the fields have grown.
Lin Rui's original plan was to first check out the waterwheel and waterway, and then go to Gangshan to measure the land early tomorrow morning. However, he was concerned about the growth rate of the crops in the field.
No matter how you look at it, it is still too hard to imagine that it has grown to twice its size. Lin Rui thought that it should be just the village chief's exaggeration. Anyway, he will go to the fields first and then check the problem of the waterwheel and waterway.
After entering the village, he began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his eyes because of the unusual sights in the village.
"How is this going?"
In the fields of the village grow potatoes and taro with leaves and vines that are larger than ever before, as well as vegetables with leaves that are several times larger than normal.
It was as if someone had cast some kind of magic to make the plants grow larger. The village was filled with crops that were so huge that they didn't seem like they could exist in reality.
Compared to what was described in the barn area report Olga submitted a few days ago, the vegetables in front of them were much larger.
Lin Rui couldn't help but squat in front of the taro and touch the leaves.
The leaves were large and thick, and were definitely not the same plant as the taro that Lin Rui knew.
The vine is as thick as an adult's thumb and unusually long. It looks very powerful.
"What are these...? Are they really edible?"
In fact, it was not just Lin Rui, even Olga and Iblin had never seen such a huge crop.
But the village chief is still outputting:
"Although the growth rate has finally slowed down in the past few days, it is still growing now."
"Ah? Are you still growing?"
"I think it will get bigger... For example, taro, each taro is now as big as a baby's head. According to our estimation, only half a taro can cook three servings of food."
"Uh, it's so big that it looks like a monster... I mean, it's incredible that it could grow to this size in such a short time..."
Listening to the village chief's description and gestures, the potatoes dug out ten days after being buried in the soil were already about the same size as the medium-sized eggs sold in the supermarket.
The growth rate is so fast that if you look closely at the crops, you may be able to see the growth of the stems and leaves with the naked eye: 4)E4馓05.
It’s incredible that the taro skin didn’t crack because it couldn’t keep up with the growth rate.
When I came here before, I heard from the village chief that one plant of taro can yield about five potatoes.
Even if the number of taro that each plant can produce remains the same, the enlarged taro will probably be crowded together at the bottom of the field.
This is too scary.
Chapter 49: The Power of Blessing
Staring at the taro plants that were spreading wildly between the ridges of the fields like alien creatures, Lin Rui stood there in a daze, with endless doubts surging in his heart, thinking hard about the reasons behind all this.
Was it the crop variety? Or was it the land itself? Or was it that the fertilizer he carefully prepared had inadvertently triggered some strange reaction with the plants in this world?
"Although I brought the fertilizer and improved the soil with my skills, this is really unreasonable. How about the other fields?"
Lin Rui muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion and worry.
He knelt on one knee, touched the taro leaves with a surprised expression, and asked the village chief.
However, in sharp contrast to Lin Rui's confusion, the village chief, Olga, Iblin and the others all had expressions that said "What's unreasonable about this?"
The village chief asked bluntly: "The taro, potatoes and vegetables in the fields are growing strong and pleasing to the eye. Is there any problem with this?"
"No, no, no, village chief, you misunderstood." Lin Rui explained quickly, "Of course I am happy about the thriving growth of the crops, but the problem is that they grew so rapidly in just a few days after fertilization. This speed is something I have never seen before. It is really unbelievable."
As he spoke, Lin Rui picked up a taro at random, squatted down, and carefully started digging from the roots.
Since the stems and leaves are so lush, the taro buried deep in the soil must be very important.
"Hey... Ugh, it's true... Even the taro head has grown bigger."
Lin Rui dug up the taro and took a look. Sure enough, it had grown to a size that could be harvested.
It was about the same size as a supermarket pear and exactly like the ripe taro Olga had described.
"It's incredible that they have grown to the stage where they can be harvested in just one month... As expected of the master, the power of the gift is so strong that it makes my blood boil." Olga's words were filled with joy that could not be concealed. Others followed closely behind Olga, shouting "As expected of the master".
However, for Lin Rui, this rapid growth was already completely abnormal.
But the fact that crops grow fast and well can be considered an unexpected good thing, right?
Growing fast is not a bad thing. Optimistically, maybe just like drinking Red Bull, the fertilizers Lin Rui provided may really contain extremely unique nourishing ingredients for crops in this world, stimulating their unprecedented growth potential.
Forget it, anyway, I can't figure out the detailed reason even if I rack my brains. Anyway, let's leave it like this for now.
"Well... it's not a bad thing anyway, so let's just ignore it for now. Then let's go to the waterwheel to see how it's being maintained and how its parts are being made. Olga, Iblin, let's go."
"Then we'll continue weeding."
After bidding farewell to the village chief and elders, Lin Rui and his party set out on a journey to the forest logging site in the west. There, the forest logging site was opened up to manufacture waterwheel parts.
When we arrived at the lumberyard, we were greeted by a busy and harmonious scene. Nearly a hundred carpenters were cleverly divided into two groups: logging and production. They skillfully operated their tools while chatting and laughing. Their mutual understanding and cooperation were admirable. When they saw Lin Rui and his group coming, they immediately stopped their work and gathered around, with smiles of enthusiasm and respect on their faces.
"Good morning, Master. Are you coming from the barn area?"
"Yes, I just came from there. The most time-consuming and laborious land reclamation work can be considered to be completely completed. The next task is to build streets connecting various farms and towns. The problem of difficulty in buying and selling goods due to inconvenient transportation will be completely changed."
Lin Rui's eyes were full of longing for the future. He changed the subject and asked the carpenter who had greeted him, "By the way, the nails ordered by the blacksmith will be delivered today, so there will be no problem with the production of the waterwheel. How is the progress on your side?"
The carpenter puffed out his chest proudly and said, "We have followed the master's instructions and have already finished the blades of the waterwheel and the wooden boards of the outer frame. The wood for the other parts is also ready. It will be all done in just one day."
"Huh? Really? It's so fast."
Although Lin Rui had already drawn all the necessary parts of the assembled waterwheel in his notebook and told the carpenters who made the waterwheel how to read the design drawings, he did not expect that the progress here would be so fast.
It was these hundred carpenters who were responsible for making the waterwheel.
The scale of hundreds of people sounds impressive, but since there is not enough wood in the territory to make the parts, they have to start by cutting down trees in the forest.
Since this is quite strenuous work, Lin Rui originally thought that it would be good if he could complete half of the parts when he came to inspect this time. Unexpectedly, this end was smoother than he had imagined.
"This is all thanks to the blessing bestowed by the master. Since we transformed into rune elves, even heavy labor is no longer a burden. We can be fully revived after a short rest. Moreover, our strength has become greater than before, and we can lift heavier things. Now, I'm afraid that even those male orcs who are famous for their strength will have to admit defeat to us...hahahahaha..."
"……what?"
The carpenters revealed the shocking truth in their jokes, and Lin Rui was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Olga made an equally shocking statement.
"Come to think of it, I haven't felt tired at all lately. Although I've been busy with work during the day and serving the emperor at night, my body doesn't feel as heavy from exhaustion as before."
Olga's words undoubtedly dropped another bombshell.
Thinking back carefully, during the time living in Otoshi Castle, Lin Rui was the only one who looked tired.
My waist will ache after working for a long time, my eyes will get sore after reading documents for a long time, [D: Er Ling Si, 3 Wu Si After playing with girls for a long time, I will miss shots and can’t take pictures... It seems that I am the only one who will collapse from exhaustion.
Only Iblin, a stay-at-home girl from Tianjin Port, would occasionally show signs of fatigue. It was normal for her to feel tired after following Lin Rui around and running around these days.
And this is just the beginning.
After the seed given by Lin Rui was integrated into her body, she was sometimes more energetic than Lin Rui. Especially when serving him at night, she could even show the momentum of counterattack in the posture of woman on top.
Not to mention Chloe and Diruwa who usually exercise, even if the savior's body fluids have the ability to increase breakthrough levels and evolve, for Iblin, who used to be a stay-at-home girl, such a transformation is particularly incredible.
But what is puzzling is that these elves are fine, but how to explain the crops? Lin Rui did not drop his body fluids into the crops.
While Olga was talking to the carpenters about how energetic she was, Lin Rui was lost in thought alone.
However, it is still unclear what causes this phenomenon.
Since there has been no example of abnormal physical reaction due to evolving into a Rune Elf so far, Lin Rui may really need to control the concentration of body fluids when blessing is needed in the future.
If someone fell down with a high fever, they could give them a little body fluid to try out the effect, but right now everyone in the territory is incredibly healthy.
Not to mention a high fever, there wasn't even a single person suffering from a cold.
"Master? What's wrong?"
Just as Lin Rui was immersed in deep thought about this series of strange phenomena, Olga's gentle question interrupted his thoughts.
Lin Rui looked up at her voice, and saw that the carpenters had returned to their positions and continued with their work, with only Olga and Iblin around.
"Ah, it's nothing, I just have some distracting thoughts in my mind." Lin Rui responded to Olga with a smile, and then turned his attention back to the production of the waterwheel parts in front of him, "Let's go, let's continue to check the progress of the craftsmen."
Lin Rui said olIUU: Qi, q Si Si finished, and walked towards the carpenter who was working.
Chapter 50: The double meaning of being targeted
The work in the barn area itself is not complicated. As long as the villagers strictly follow the schedule planned in advance by Lin Rui, there will basically be no problems.
Therefore, the inspection of this area was carried out very quickly and ended soon. Then Lin Rui took Olga and Iblin and boarded the carriage pulled by the unicorn again. Surrounded by a group of dark elf female guards, they embarked on a journey to the northeast. Their destination was the undeveloped wasteland north of Otoko Castle, which was the blueprint of the planned new city, Okayama Castle.
