Thanks to the widespread adoption of Farmland Magic Machinery, spring plowing in Bunta City finished exceptionally quickly that year.
In less than a week, every field within Bunta City's jurisdiction had been harvested and replanted.
According to the City Lord's Manor's figures, Bunta City's total wheat yield at the end of that year's spring plowing was 630,000 tonnes. That was only 60,000 tonnes more than the previous autumn's harvest, but nearly double the 360,000 tonnes harvested the previous spring.
The reason there had been no substantial increase over the previous autumn's harvest was that, after a full year of land reclamation, practically all the land suitable for farming in Bunta City had already been brought under cultivation. Aside from improving farming techniques, there was little room for further growth.
Even so, the yield was still astonishing.
Bunta City was a small city, with a jurisdiction that ranked among the smallest in the Lampari Kingdom, but its total grain production had begun growing explosively since the autumn harvest two years earlier.
That autumn's harvest had already surpassed those of many cities with roughly the same area as Bunta City, and even some that were considerably larger.
By the following spring, its wheat yield of 360,000 tonnes had already placed it among the leading wheat-producing cities in the Lampari Kingdom.
Then, during the previous autumn's harvest, Bunta City had brought in an astounding 570,000 tonnes of wheat, vaulting into first place among the Lampari Kingdom's wheat-producing cities. It had drawn attention throughout the kingdom and even received explicit praise from His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Bureau. The Xinfei Merchant Guild, which had made the greatest contribution, had also been honored. Its president, Xu Yi, had been elevated to Kingdom Baron, making him the only person in the Lampari Kingdom officially
