Liszt planned to settle all the Discarded Bug Grass in Mushroom Town. This place had originally been designated for building over ten thousand mu of mushroom greenhouses, and now it was just right for planning the new Discarded Bug Grass plantations.
Unfortunately, there were only ten serfs for each variety of Discarded Bug Grass. Teaching other serfs how to cultivate them in a short time would not be easy.
After all, every island had different hydrology and climate, and the cultivation techniques would need corresponding adjustments.
For roughly a year, these five varieties of Discarded Bug Grass would not be able to play much of a role. But Liszt could afford to wait. He was still young, only eighteen.
For the next stretch of time, he supervised the fifty newly arrived serfs as they built greenhouses for the Discarded Bug Grass—but after inspecting Mushroom Town's environment, twenty of them shook their heads. Only the serfs who knew how to grow Golden Thread Fungus, Lion's Mane Mushroom, and Horse Fart Puffball felt that Mushroom Town's environment was suitable.
The serfs who cultivated Blue Matsutake said, "My lord, Blue Matsutake needs dark, decaying woodland to grow. Mushroom Town lacks trees, so it will be difficult to grow Blue Matsutake here."
The serfs who cultivated Black Truffle said the same. "My lord, Black Truffle requires a great deal of deadwood, preferably dead pinewood, and it cannot be too close to the sea, or its quality will be very poor."
"Then survey Black Horse Island and choose suitable places to plant them. If you lack anything, ask Advisor Gortai for it directly."
Liszt had always taken the broad view, offering a direction before leaving everything else to his subordinates.
