Lynn did not hesitate for a moment, abruptly raising the fishing rod in his hands, suddenly feeling a weight attack.

The magic deer sinew fishing line tightened, and the fishing rod also bent.

However, compared to the previous ten or so pounds of barracuda.

As soon as Lynn got a hold, he could feel that the river fish hooked was not very big.

With his current physical quality and strength, a carp weighing two or three pounds barely required playing the fish.

Relying on the resilience of the rod and the magic deer sinew, he could directly lift it out.

[Tip]: Obtained ordinary fish: carp ×1, reward: 10 energy stones

Looking at the text in front of him.

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

Ten energy stones were also quite good.

Even a mosquito's legs are meat.

After letting the guard take down the carp hooked on the fishhook, Lynn continued to put on chicken guts as bait and tossed it back into the river.

Until nightfall.

When he was almost unable to see the floating cork bobber on the river surface, Lynn finally reeled in and walked back.

A thought flashed through his mind.

Lynn glanced at the energy stones he now possessed, having reached thirty-five hundred.

With his Level 3 planting skills, he could now devote more time to fishing.

For one, with good luck, he might catch big fish and obtain various skill books.

On the other hand, even if he didn't catch big fish, catching some smaller fish weighing a few pounds could yield more energy stones.

Now, aside from the task function not having been released for a long time and the milestone function.

This was his only quick way to obtain energy stones.

Therefore.

He wanted to take advantage of the current spring season and fish more energy stones to exchange for Emperor Potatoes in the Special Seed Store!

Lynn clearly felt that to obtain a large amount of food, he must improve the seeds of crops planted in the soil.

With fertilizer and wheel plowing.

The yield of the already planted winter barley would certainly far exceed that of the originally planted wheat per-acre yield.

But even if he calculated with one hundred eighty pounds per acre.

The hundred thousand acres of farmland could only yield eighteen million pounds of barley.

Calculated with the current population of nine thousand on the territory, consuming three pounds of food per person per day.

Add various poultry and livestock, even with a population of ten thousand.

Eighteen million pounds of barley would only be enough for a year's consumption for ten thousand people!

What if the population reached twenty thousand or thirty thousand?

The population in the territory would definitely continue to grow!

By that time, unless everyone was involved in cultivation and planting labor.

Otherwise, sooner or later, the townsmen on the territory would face hunger again!

The key reason is—the per-acre yield of barley and wheat is too low!

After heavy plowing and fertilization, the maximum yield per acre is only one hundred eighty pounds.

Twenty pounds of seeds are invested per acre for planting.

Calculating by acre, the barley produced from one acre is only enough for one person to consume for three months!

It's really too little.

Lynn also considered using the previous crop variety improvement function to improve these barley seeds.

But.

One thousand energy stones can only improve ten thousand pounds!

For barley seeds now needing hundreds of pounds, he couldn't bring out that many energy stones.

Therefore.

Fishing for energy stones to exchange for Emperor Potatoes was the best option.

They can now adjust the exchange ratio, consuming three thousand energy stones to exchange for three hundred pounds of Emperor Potatoes.

But three hundred pounds are too few.

Moreover, with the method of planting with cut seed potatoes, planting one acre requires at least three hundred pounds of potato seeds!

It's just planting one acre.

He needs to fish more energy stones as potato seeds to expand next year's potato planting scale.

He needs to at least exchange for nine hundred pounds to plant three acres of farmland!

Calculating with a potato yield of three thousand pounds per acre, with careful care, potatoes could be harvested and dug up in September.

Obtain nine thousand pounds of potatoes.

Next year, again use cut seed potatoes as seed method for thirty acres.

By September next year, Lynn would harvest ninety thousand pounds!

Repeating this cycle, in a maximum of three years, the potatoes he owns would multiply.

Though this time is lengthy, Lynn still needs to put the exchange and planting of Emperor Potatoes on the agenda.

Only by having more highly productive crop seeds planted in the soil.

Can he liberate the townsmen from farming!

Five thousand people spending two months to plant the territory's needed food versus five hundred people planting the territory's needed food.

The concept is completely different!

If five hundred people can complete the labor, then the remaining four thousand five hundred people, Lynn can have them continue staying at their posts.

And continue accelerating production labor at their posts.

As he contemplated.

Lynn returned to the castle with Red.

Looking at the food placed on the table, Lynn stepped to the main seat at the dining table.

The maid responsible for pulling out his armchair before—Yaya, was no longer in the castle.

With the ability of transformation disguise, unless Yaya stood in front of Lynn.

Otherwise, even if Lynn opened the holographic map to search, it would be hard to find her.

Now, the town had so many red brick houses, nearly four or five thousand!

Despite the initial planning he had for the entire town's construction.
