Chapter 806 (2/2)
”Don't patronize the excitement.”
Donne was too excited to see Fiona and couldn't help waking her up: ”after the population increase, the problems accompanying it are quite troublesome, which need to make a plan in advance.”
A city of 500000 people, big or small, but so many people eat, drink and Lazar in Ellington are all based on Datang chamber of Commerce, which is a lot of pressure.
In particular, prandal's food production capacity is generally not high. Many people go all the way to Ellington with their families because they know that they can eat when they work here.
If the food supply is insufficient at that time, I'm afraid there will be big trouble.
”Your Majesty, please rest assured.”
Fiona smiled confidently, ”don't mention 500000 people. Even if there are more than 100000 people, I can feed them this year!”
”Oh?”
”Now it is approaching the harvest day of wheat. Our Datang harvest team has set out again. Due to the completion of the expressway, this time, the harvest team will start from the cities with transmission arrays and radiate to the surrounding areas to help those farmers harvest their crops.”
”Not only that, as the production experiment of alchemy puppets, we have used them to produce a large number of combine harvesters and magic energy cultivators. In addition to leaving some to meet the expansion of production capacity in Ellington in the future, I have decided to donate the rest to the ilrus royal family in the name of Datang chamber of Commerce.”
Fiona gave Donne a charming glance and said, ”there are five thousand combine harvesters and five thousand magic cultivators.”
Donne laughed and said, ”what's the meaning of this left-handed down right-handed one.”
Datang chamber of commerce is his, and the property of ilrus royal family is now his. Donating to the royal family is the same as donating to himself.
”It's not as simple as you think.”
Fiona explained: ”publicly announcing the donation of these properties can win a good reputation for Datang chamber of Commerce. As a private property of the royal family, you don't have to worry about falling into the hands of others. You can still control it at will according to your own wishes - don't forget, the Royal family has a lot of private land, so do you want to cultivate it yourself?”
”That's true.”
Donne suddenly realized that he basically didn't care much about the royal family's private property. He still let OLINA and Aurelia's mother and daughter control it by themselves. After all, his purpose of wanting the throne was just to reform the ilrus empire.
”With the help of the combine harvester, the time for harvesting wheat this year will be greatly shortened. A lot of time saved can be used for other production work. After the spring, the magic cultivator can be directly put into use and start cultivating the next round of wheat.”
Speaking of this, Fiona said excitedly, ”by next spring, we can use new varieties of wheat seeds!”
”Oh!?”
Donne suddenly put down his teacup and said in surprise, ”there's good news from grantia?”
”Yes!”
Fiona said happily: ”She came back a few days ago and wanted to report the good news to you. When she found you were away, she told me. It is said that she and MS. otinia have made a breakthrough in their research. The production capacity of the latest generation of improved seeds has more than doubled from the beginning! They think they have met your requirements now, so they have started mass catalytic production.”
”Double!”
Donne was overjoyed: ”really double!?”
”I don't think Ms. otinia should make such a bad joke.”
Fiona looked at Donne very seriously, her eyes full of joy: ”Your Majesty, this is the most surprising news this year.”
Donne was also excited.
What is the concept of doubling grain output!
The grain planted with the same land area can feed twice the original population!
Coupled with the planting efficiency improved by various agricultural magic energy machines developed by Donne, it can be predicted that there will be a terrible explosive growth in the grain production of the Ilus Empire next autumn!
”Next autumn, we may be able to solve the problem of hunger.”
Donne breathed a long sigh of relief. According to the current population growth rate of prandal, after changing this agricultural scale with improved seeds, it can definitely meet the population's demand for food, and even enrich a large amount of food as reserve food.
Fiona reminded Donne: ”I think you should reward Grandia and otinia. They have been busy for more than half a year.”
”I'll reward them.”
As soon as he said this, Donne regretted it. To be honest, he could already think of what reward grantia would ask fo
