Wondrous Uses

A preliminary agreement has been reached with Tao Lingluo.

The other party will have to obey his orders from now on, so Fang Weiyan will provide them with more fertilizer.

Fang Weiyan also had this, but Fang Weiyan didn't show it.

He waved his hand and had someone bring over a few more bags to sprinkle under the saplings.

Tao Lingluo watched this scene and felt it was such a pity.

Is it appropriate to use something so precious on saplings? It would be better to give it to her!

"Sir, there's no need to use such precious chemical fertilizers to cultivate these fruit trees."

Tao Lingluo now knows that this thing is called fertilizer.

I don't know why such a precious item would have such a strange and odd name, and it even sounds a bit tacky.

But at this moment, she couldn't care less about the name.

"Once the fruit trees grow and bear fruit, they can be sold for money. Then the people who grow the fruit trees will have money, and with money they can buy food and survive."

"If the people survive, they can reproduce. If there are more descendants, more people will offer incense, and the power of the Earth God will become stronger, thus protecting even more people. Do you think this is important?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan asked a question in return.

Upon hearing this, Tao Lingluo understood Fang Weiyan's meaning, but after glancing back at the fertilizer under the saplings, she still felt a pang of reluctance.

"But sir, these can be obtained with manure; there's no need for this kind of chemical fertilizer."

She was still somewhat unwilling, feeling that the fertilizer belonging to the adults should ideally belong to her.

This is, after all, something she'll be using up for her future cultivation. What if she runs out of it later?

Fang Weiyan frowned, his gaze turning to Tao Lingluo. "My things are mine to use however I want. I just agreed to let you serve me, and now you're already trying to teach me how to do things?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Lingluo shuddered, realizing that she had been too possessive, and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake.

"It was my fault, I won't do it again."

Fang Weiyan responded calmly, "Since you say that fertilizer is also needed by these saplings, I also want to see if the saplings grow better after using fertilizer."

"Besides, as long as you follow my orders, you'll get plenty of fertilizer."

He casually criticized Tao Lingluo, then offered a comforting remark, and after doing so, Fang Weiyan turned and left.

As Tao Lingluo watched Fang Weiyan leave, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This county magistrate doesn't look particularly old, but when he gets angry, he can be quite frightening.

Looking back at the fertilizer under the saplings, she could clearly feel the joy in the saplings as they greedily absorbed the nutrients.

With this fertilizer, I believe these fruit trees will grow very easily.

What was originally meant for someone of her level to cultivate is now being absorbed by these ordinary fruit tree saplings; it would be strange if they didn't grow well.

Fang Weiyan left the orchard and hurried to the cabbage field.

Looking out from here, rows and rows of huge cabbages can be seen in the field.

Fang Weiyan squatted down and looked at it carefully. This Fang Weiyan finally felt that there was indeed something different.

Here, Fang Weiyan has not yet instructed the people to spray pesticides to drive away the insects.

There were no signs of insects on these cabbages, and each cabbage was large, white as jade, with green leaves as green as emeralds.

At first glance, each of these cabbages looks like a work of art.

"Judging from this situation, fertilizer from our own Earth has become a precious commodity in this world?"

Fang Weiyan looked closely and saw that all the cabbages were like this. Thinking about Tao Lingluo's attitude towards the fertilizer, he finally understood that the fertilizer was indeed playing a very different role here.

After confirming this, Fang Weiyan was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Overall, however, this is a good thing for Fang Weiyan, a very good thing.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Weiyan walked over to the cornfield next to him and took a look.

Next to the cornfield, there was also a sweet potato field.

When Fang Weiyan arrived at the cornfield, he immediately saw the corn stalks growing at an astonishing rate.

Logically, corn should have a growth cycle of more than 100 days, but it seems that this is no longer necessary.

Fang Weiyan went closer to take a look, and now the people in front of him could no longer be seen, as they were completely hidden by the corn stalks.

In the sweet potato field beside us, tender leaves had sprouted everywhere, leaving no place to step.

I reckon we don't need to wait for the sweet potatoes to reach their full growth cycle; we should be able to harvest them ahead of schedule.

Fang Weiyan was overjoyed upon seeing this, as quite a bit of time had already passed this year.

Next year, we'll bring over hybrid rice so the people can plant it.

Hopefully, fertilizers will still be effective by then.

If this were hybrid rice, relying on the magic of chemical fertilizers to produce several harvests a year, it would be disastrous.

Fang Weiyan estimated in his heart that with this hybrid rice, it would definitely not be a problem to raise a prosperous dynasty here.

Then, by boosting national strength, the Power of Incense Offerings will directly increase.

Then they sent people everywhere to search for a way for him to cultivate.

At the very least, shouldn't he at least have the ability to absorb Incense Offerings?

Otherwise, if we work so hard to improve the country's strength and raise the level of Incense Offerings, only to have other City God or similar deities do the work, Fang Weiyan would feel somewhat cheated.

After pondering this, Fang Weiyan inspected the vegetable garden, nodded in satisfaction, and left.

He left with a smile on his face, mainly because he was happy about the fertilizer.

The people working in the fields finally saw the adults and immediately stood up respectfully.

Fang Weiyan waved and left.

After returning to the yamen, Fang Weiyan washed his hands and then went back to Earth.

There's nothing for him to do in Linbei County for the time being, but he still needs to go back to Cloud-Stilling Temple to check on things.

Go check if there's enough incense and candles; if they've burned out, add more. Also, keep an eye out to see if Liang Lijian has anything urgent to discuss with him.

The two had discussed things before and had a cooperative relationship.

Although the other party hasn't contacted me yet, I'll still make a note of this.

When Fang Weiyan changed his clothes and arrived at the main hall, he immediately saw a group of people lining up to offer incense.

This scene caught Fang Weiyan off guard; there seemed to be an unusually large number of people today.
