Spring has come quietly.


    However, there is no big change in the feeling. As early as the snow gradually passed, the temperature warmed up. Gradually, it was only colder in the morning and evening, and there was a big sun at noon.


    When spring comes, farmers go to the fields to cultivate. During this time, Sean has seen many people walking to the West on the sand table... To the west is Oro city or the food production land in Oro area.


    Oro region is the border, which is not suitable for large-scale planting of crops. For a long time, more reserves have come to buy. We use the tax of border trade to buy food from other regions. As for our own cultivation, there is only a large manor in the West. About more than 100000 mu of cultivated land was not a problem to feed hundreds of thousands of people in the past!


    More land and fewer people have always been the norm in the world. Sean has previously analyzed that for the sake of safety and convenience, many people are willing to live closer to the city. Even if they can''t live in the city and surrounding towns, mountain villages should be closer.


    At the beginning, our own Tyler MIA town was like this. It was not far from COGA City, and it was less than a day in a straight line. Because it was a mountain road, we had to walk for a day and a half.


    The cultivated land near the city is responsible for feeding the people around it!


    Sean specially asked the divara family, an agricultural tycoon around him for this matter... Now the population of Oro city has increased, and there are nearly 500000 people around. It is estimated that it is actually 6 people per mu.


    Even if it is mature once a year, it can support the food of six people.


    It''s just


    There are not so many people in Oro.


    Many places are deserted, and some of them have to be allocated to other crops, fruits and so on.


    Must also be separated


    To put it bluntly, some crops can''t be planted together, including fruits, rice and wheat. There is a process in the soil, especially for the vegetable land that likes fertilization, there can''t be anything else.


    "This relates to many reasons, such as..."


    "Needless to say."


    Sean was in front of the sand table, listening to Charles divara''s report on the surrounding crops with afternoon tea and snacks.


    Charles divara is Filo''s brother, and the divara family is arranged in the management... After all, the Morgan family has taken charge of part of the real estate industry, and Sean will naturally let the divara family take charge of another part of the industry.


    Balance the power of the two business giants, which will help them better manage the city.


    "So, although we have a lot of land in Oro, the planting conditions are not as good as those in other mainland cities," Charles said.


    "Has there ever been acidification on the planting land in the west?"


    "Er... What does your adult mean?"


    "Oh, it''s all right. I mean, I can''t grow fruit or there are often withered and yellow leaves and so on." Sean was busy explaining.


    In fact, it''s the process of soil acidification caused by too much soil fertilization, which is why Charles just said that all crops can''t be planted together... Before, Sean thought of using magic methods to improve production, but in the reports of several business tycoons, the consumption of magic is not as fast as using alchemy directly.


    Sean really ignored that!


    Because I didn''t know the principle of alchemy at that time in COGA City, it seems not difficult to make some high-content nitrogen fertilizer according to my own understanding, and alchemists have been involved in this area for a long time, so rich ranchers will buy some Alchemist''s powder or solvent to fertilize.


    Therefore, although there is a lot of land that can be planted in Oro City, on the one hand, there is no one, on the other hand, the area that can be planted is too unified, but it is difficult to get it, and most of it is idle.


    After a cup of warm tea, the maid will take the initiative to pick up the cup.


    Then I will hand in a warm handkerchief to interrupt. If I''m hungry, I''ll also send some desserts.


    Wipe your hands, Sean picked up a soft fruit cake


    "Go on," motioned Charles to continue reporting.


    "We haven''t seen what adults said, but there will be such problems occasionally in a few years. At that time, we will use Alchemy to revitalize the land, so this problem can be solved."


    Do direct agents need to balance acid and alkali!


    It seems OK.


    It''s a way... Sean bit off the cake, wiped his hands and watched the bustling dots move on the sand table.


    The problem remains in place. Only one side of Oro city is suitable for planting crops. There are many mountains in the north, but there are not many villages. In the south is the old city of Tacoma and some swamps and towns to the south. There are still many mountains and stones in the East. After the business road with IDAK is reopened, the place will continue to become a road and trade area for businessmen from both places.


    It is impossible to develop planting along the border roads. It needs a lot of people to manage, or it will be destroyed and stolen.


    "Charles, you see, these are the problems in our Oro area now. If we had a good life in previous years, but we don''t know when the business road to IDAK will be restarted. The surrounding towns that used to get rich by the flow of businessmen are not so lucky this year... Coupled with the uncertain Northern War, we may have to bear a lot of difficulties going south The people and the money and grain handed over to the state. "


    "Now it''s just spring. If we prepare in advance, we may have a chance to be rich. Otherwise, everyone will have a hard time this year ~" Sean said with emotion.


    At this time, the divara family, as a business giant, is actually on one side with themselves. As long as they are not good, they will not be good, and so will the residents of the whole city of Oro.


    At that time, one layer after another, I''m afraid families who could still eat meat will eat potatoes this year.


    "Er... I think we can put some crops to the north and let a farmer go up the mountain..."


    "Not feasible."


    Sean stopped before the other party finished.


    Isn''t this funny? Only a large number of people can form a city. If you bombard people away, the consumption of the city will be over.


    Looking at the moving dots on the sand table, I also looked at Charles who was thinking


    It seems that the descendant of the divara family is not very good. Maybe it''s better to ask John of the Morgan family.


    "Expansion..."


    "Huh?"


    The other party suddenly said a word.


    "Sir, we can either use the original possession of Tacoma''s old city, which will be much better."


    "We never lack land, but we don''t have enough people," Sean said.


    This is still nonsense. If there were enough people and money, I would have rebuilt the Old City long before he spoke.


    But expansion is not just such a narrow meaning. Sean suddenly turned his eyes to the South... More south.


    "Do you think it would be better for us to carry out more trade and diplomacy with Mersin at this time?"


    Sean picked up the plan mentioned by karyana many months ago


    Because recently I heard that the news of the border war also spread to the coastal kingdom in the South with the merchants.
