Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1189 - 663: A Unique Focus

However, Gaven acted as if he had just done something trivial, "To mobilize the enthusiasm of ordinary farmers for planting, it takes at least one to two years of fermentation. This is an excellent opportunity for us to further perfect this industry chain. I happen to have enough hands in the Goblin Margins to cultivate plenty of farmland. We can directly establish a large-scale Styrak bush cultivation base there, integrating breeding, planting, processing, and sales all in one."

"We lack nothing there except for planting techniques and a large quantity of superior Styrak bush seeds. I would like to hire Mr. Handibur with an annual salary of one hundred thousand Gold Lions as our technical guidance to instruct our people on how to plant Styrak bushes. Once the subsequent technology for fish feed production is successfully developed, Mr. Handibur will use his technology to hold stock ownership, possessing ten percent of all shares, Your Majesty holding thirty-nine percent, and the remaining fifty-one percent will belong to me."

"One hundred thousand Gold Lions per year?" Handibur could not help but swallow, for to him, this was undoubtedly an astronomical figure. A small family of seven or eight, busily engaged in business for a year, might just earn this amount in a good economy. However, given the nature of business, there’s always profit and loss; it’s possible that the next year could see double that amount lost.

However, this was a no-risk deal for him; regardless of the outcome, he would receive this salary.

As for Gaven’s capacity to pay this salary, Handibur had no doubts. Although Hilpur Town was remote, information wasn’t blocked. The news of that battle in the Goblin Margins had already reached here seven or eight days ago. freёnovelkiss.com

Looking at the unusual guards behind him, with the Crown Princess personally escorting and repeatedly referring to him as General, his identity was clear. No one but the Commander of the Conqueror Army could enjoy such treatment; would an entity who could decide the fates of tens of thousands come to a village to hoodwink an Intermediate Druid?

"I would like to hear how exactly I hold this thirty-nine percent. From the beginning to the end, it seems as though I haven’t done anything," said the Crown Princess, whose background dictated that she saw things very differently from Handibur.

Handibur’s attention was drawn by the hundred thousand Gold Lions’ annual salary, oblivious to the real value which lay in that ten percent shareholding. Eventually, it would bring him not one or two but countless hundreds of thousands of Gold Lions.

Everything is about scale; even a half-basket of Gold Lions’ worth of Styrak bushes is no exception. Gaven is now not trying to involve a village, a town, or even a city into this new initiative in agriculture but is preparing to turn it into a new side job for the entire Komeer farming community.

She had no reason to object because fisheries themselves occupy a significant proportion within Komeer. Not only is the entire south of the Komeer Kingdom surrounded by Dragon Lake, they also have a huge inland lake, Wyvern Lake, the Wyverns that once dominated this place are long extinct, and it is the largest fishery of the Komeer Kingdom.

Even if the Komeer Kingdom and the Conqueror Army were to have disagreements, with the Royal Family stepping forward to buy large quantities of Styrak bushes grown by Komeer farmers for fishing purposes, the crops wouldn’t go unsold.

"Your Majesty currently has no tasks, but that does not mean you won’t have any in the future. Once the industry takes shape, it’s impossible for all the Styrak bushes to be transported to the City of Faith for processing, as it would be too time-consuming and laborious. In densely planted regions, establishing various processing factories is the correct choice. I hope the land for the establishment of processing factories can be provided by Your Majesty, and the acquisition of Styrak bushes within the Komeer territory be Your Majesty’s responsibility," Gaven certainly wouldn’t give benefits to the Crown Princess without conditions.

Instead, he would fully utilize the convenience brought by her identity. The entire Komeer Kingdom is her family’s property; with her taking land and establishing factories naturally, countless troubles would be spared, and the procurement would be the same. Given the same prices, those farmers would definitely prioritize selling to the Royal Family, most willingly so.

"Land purchase and procurement can be entrusted to me, but how it’s carried out is my affair," the Crown Princess was not foolish and refused to be easily ensnared.

Business could be conducted, but it must not be done in the name of the Royal Family because she is only the heir to the Komeer Kingdom, not the King. As long as she has not yet taken that position, she must avoid conflicts of interest, although everyone knows she was the one supporting this endeavor from behind the scenes.

"As long as the objective is met, the rest doesn’t affect me in any way," Gaven merely wanted to tie the Crown Princess to his war chariot, everything else was unimportant.

Even Komeer is nothing more than an experimental field.

If this large-scale farming model proves viable, the Valley, Giant Dragon Coast, Thacel, and Giant Plains are bound to follow suit. There, Gaven wouldn’t need to share profits with the Crown Princess. This is the advantage of multi-thread planning.

"Sir, when shall we begin? Like wheat, Styrak bushes are winter-hardy plants. If we plant them now, we’ll be able to harvest some next summer. There are two breeding methods for Styrak bushes: one is through seed cultivation, the other is through propagation by their vast root system. We can propagate by cutting the roots, and with proper management, Styrak bushes don’t require repetitive sowing and planting; they just need regular harvesting, or else they can survive for many years," Handibur explained this unique crop to Gaven and the Crown Princess.
