There was actually much more Roger had not said.
The grain yield per unit area would rise sharply, which would in turn increase the production of cotton, vegetables, fruit, sugar, and livestock, allowing more people to consume more nutrition.
Throughout this process, both the population and the intelligence of sentient beings would improve significantly.
Many people had been dull in the past because they had not received enough nutrition as children.
A substantial increase in population and greater intelligence would naturally create a positive cycle with magitech experts, further accelerating the evolution of Magitech Industry.
Although once the population reached a certain number, under the influence of Magitech Industrialization, the next generation or the one after that would likely begin to think about having fewer children, the people currently alive would not have such thoughts. Through their efforts, the population would at least multiply several times over.
However, there was little point in saying any of this now.
What mattered most was increasing the population as much as possible, improving mortals' combat strength, and increasing the supply of faith so the gods could grow stronger as well.
Besides, under normal circumstances, population trends would develop as Roger expected. But once war broke out with the world beyond the Tulip Kingdom, things might not turn out that way.
War would also affect the composition and development of the population.
"Now that I've heard you say that, I'm relieved."
The Agriculture Goddess finally let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I've recently developed another high-yield crop. It's especially suitable for mountainous land, dry land, and even saline-alkali soil—areas normally unsuitable for crop growth."
"I was worried that grain was already so abundant. If we added another staple crop next year, would it lead to something unforeseeable?"
