The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 79 Spirit Plant Harvest



"Your Majesty, there are currently more than 5 million acres of land rented."

"After a month, the harvest is about 50 million tonnes of spiritual plants"

"Impressive," Maximus couldn\'t help but nod.

"But, Your Majesty, the problem is that after we took 70 percent of their produce, no one is willing to buy the rest as others also have their own produce," Dolan said helplessly.

"This is indeed a problem because there is no external market for them to sell to." Maximus acknowledge

The problem is that the spiritual plant they planted is only useful for mortals.

Although it\'s a tier 1 spiritual plant, its only function is to grow quickly and provide more nutrition to mortals.

So, hoping to sell it to other territories in the cursed continent is not feasible

"Just buy it all, then slowly sell it to them," Maximus decided quickly.

The only reason he released this type of spiritual plant instead of plants that could help with cultivation is;

First, it doesn\'t require much care.

With the learning pace of his people, who don\'t even know how to read, this type of spiritual plant is easy to take care of, only needing a few drizzles of tier-0 spirit rain.

Second, he hoped to quickly make them rich.

Most people only have a few copper coins, as the 10 gold credits loaned to them are either used to rent land or buy cultivation manuals.

"But, Your Majesty, buying so much will only spoil the harvested crop if we don\'t sell it quickly," Dolan reasoned.

"I already have a solution for this. Do you remember when I asked you to expand the Granary?" Maximus asked.

Dolan thought about it and nodded.

Indeed, he was tasked with expanding the underground granary.

Thanks to the hard work of a bunch of newly promoted apprentice mages and knights, the granary expanded at least a thousand times in a month.

Putting 50 million tons of harvested crops in it was a piece of cake.

"But, even so, it will only extend the life of the harvested crops for a few months," Dolan persuaded Maximus not to continue with the plan.

"No, don\'t worry. My teacher taught me how to set up an array to perfectly preserve food, just like the array formation in the kingdom," Maximus said seriously.

"Then, Your Majesty, after our 70% share, there are about 15 million tons that we need to buy."

"According to your quotation, this tier 1 spiritual plant should at least cost 5 silver coins per kilogram, making the total to 750 million gold coins, which we don\'t have," Dolan said, hoping to dissuade his majesty or at least lower the price.

5 silver coins were already an exorbitant price, even though it\'s a spiritual plant.

After all, they provided the land and seeds, so it would be acceptable to arbitrarily lower the price.

"Don\'t worry about that. Don\'t we have Moonlight Bank? There is no need for physical money," Maximus said.

Thinking that his people would add 750 million gold credits, plus the previous gold credits, it would almost catch up to 1 billion gold points per month when converted to the system.

"However, doing that will crash the market. Without products for them to spend on, it will lead to chaos," Dolan said.

Although he had no concept of inflation, being an old minister, he still had a basic understanding of the market.

"I know, I will add advanced knowledge to the Moonlight Library about various professions and sell the following resources," Maximus stated.

"After all, we can\'t have our people only being farmers or construction workers," Maximus contemplated.

"That\'s a great idea, Your Majesty, but people are ignorant and don\'t have much knowledge. How can they comprehend difficult knowledge about various professions?" Dolan asked, puzzled.

It was indeed a good idea. With people learning professions like potion-making alchemy, they can have their own value.

Otherwise, Maximus\' territory would only be like a factory, with Maximus as the owner and his people as workers. 

With people only knowing how to plant and mindlessly follow blueprints in construction, sooner or later Maximus\' territory will collapse.

"Isn\'t there an academy? Once it\'s built they can just learn it there with proper guidance just don\'t place any restrictions for now. Anyone is welcome to attend," Maximus suggested.

"Furthermore, to prevent any talented individuals from delaying their studies, divide them into levels," Maximus concluded.

Dolan quickly wrote down Maximus\' instructions, not daring to miss anything.

After that, they discussed the follow-up plan in more detail to minimize the impact that it will cause.

...

"Next, how about you, Landon? How is the relocation going?" Maximus asked.

"Your Majesty, since we started the relocation three months ago, we have relocated more than 13 million people," Landon reported.

"At this rate, it will take a few years just to relocate people here," Maximus thought.

"I will add another 900 ships in addition to the 100 ships earlier."

"That\'s good, Your Majesty," Landon said in relief.

Transporting people from one place to another is not as easy as it seems.

It takes at least a week of back and forth.

So it\'s no wonder that he can only transport more than 4 million people a month.

...

"How about you, Robert? How is the task of breeding magic beasts going?" Maximus inquired.

"It\'s going well, Your Majesty. Without the corrosive mana, we have chosen easy-to-tame beasts and are preparing to breed them on a large scale," Robert excitedly said.

In the past, the only source of meat was through hunting, but now they can harvest meat as if it were from plants.

It was too farfetched, that he didn\'t even dare to imagine it in the past.

"Good, continue what you are doing," Maximus approved.

Then they discussed more specific aspects of breeding magic beasts, such as selecting those that produce more meat for consumption and choosing flying beasts or fast-type beasts for transportation.

...

"What about you, Tristan? How are the merchants doing?" Maximus looked at Tristan and asked.

"Well, the merchants are struggling a bit. With the monopoly of the Aerthria Pavilion, they don\'t know what to sell," Tristan truthfully reported.

"Hmph, that\'s the consequence of only knowing how to hoard food," Maximus grumbled.

These merchants only know how to hoard food and sell it at expensive prices due to their monopoly on resources.

"However, Your Majesty, craftsmen, tailors, blacksmiths, and others are becoming rich," Tristan said.

"Indeed," Maximus couldn\'t help but nod, and he pondered.

Although people don\'t have much money, without worries about danger and food, they are still willing to spend for their comfort.

"Merchants need to learn from these people. They need skills to survive in this current market," Maximus advised.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, they were already trying to survey the market, looking for what to do," Tristan confirmed.

"There is one individual, in particular, who has a brilliant mind and has decided to form an escort guard, recruiting the scattered knights that came from the previous kingdoms."

"What do they escort?" Maximus inquired.

"They guard the newly promoted apprentice knights, allowing them to gain experience in tier 1 forests," Tristan explained.

"That is indeed a good idea," Maximus acknowledged.

After that, Tristan told what kind of businesses are still running and blooming at the tranny of Aetheria Pavilion.

Although, Aetheria Pavilion only sold raw materials and food.

However, this still put a lot of pressure on the other merchant.

Maximus can\'t just take out the Aetheria Pavilion as it\'s the driving force of his current territory situation.

His kingdom is just begging to form, and without his help or the Aetheria Pavilion to set an example it is easy to go awry with the current market situation

But still, he needed to think of another source, for his people to earn money.

He then thought of building a virtual coliseum, with it, his people can earn and train their combat capability at the same time.

If his system didn\'t update and produce life points which he can use to quickly master skills then he wouldn\'t even think about it.

After all the difficulty of inscribing a rune program about virtual worlds is very hard and time-consuming, but with life point maybe he can think of a solution for this.

...

After the meeting, he came to the meditation room and assist his wives in cultivation like what they did last week.

This time they already knew what to expect so they were not scared but excited instead, after all, who wouldn\'t want a quick boost of strength without drawbacks

After the session, all of his wives became great mages and great knights.

Making the total life point he gained every day came from 9300LP to 11,400LP.

"How is study this week?" Maximus asked.

After knowing that they possess divine talent in a certain profession, he urge them to study in this area, which they didn\'t have much resistance.

They were even excited, as they were bored, and had nothing to do.

"It is very easy, and fun"

"Later let sister Erica cook for you, the taste of her food, Hiss.." Hazel the foodie said.

Imagining the food that Erica cook when she tried a food recipe.

They were truly mouth-watering. It is different from the usual as if eating every bit is an explosion of flavor.

"Alright let\'s try that later." Maximus just smiled at them.
