Chapter 155: Chapter 24 The Liquidation Begins

"Soak the seeds in water. After a while, the plump seeds will sink to the bottom, while the empty and diseased seeds will float on the surface. These are the seeds that need to be discarded."

Yila said this, looking at the grass seeds floating on the surface of the water in the bucket. He continued, "Whether it’s alfalfa, hawk’s beard, or other plants that need seeds, the selection process is very important."

It seemed that this world lacked the knowledge of seed selection, so Yila explained to the little fairies. As long as they remembered, the yield of the grass could continue to increase.

"Seed selection mainly aims to pick the best seeds. No matter when planting, or what crop, it’s impossible to ensure every seed will germinate. Therefore, it’s necessary to select and eliminate defective seeds."

Yila said this, watching the grass seeds as the first seed slowly sank. He continued explaining to the little fairies, "Although selection cannot direct beneficial variation in crops, it can eliminate interference with superior plants, allowing favorable variations..."

"..."

*It seemed Yila was going to launch into a long monologue,* and the little fairies looked troubled. However, due to their nature, they couldn’t bring themselves to interrupt as other leaders might have done.

So, they listened in a daze to Yila’s lengthy discourse, filled with terms like **independent breeding of improved varieties**, **consolidation of beneficial variations**, and **homozygosis**.

Remarkably, they made an effort to listen carefully and understand.

"So, can we select"

"blue basil mushrooms"

"for cultivation as well?"

Although their understanding was somewhat skewed...

"Seeds, not spores... At least the crops need seeds, right?"

Yila said this helplessly. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Speaking of which, how do we usually select and cultivate the next generation of blue basil mushrooms?"

In Yila’s previous world, the usual method involved making large fungal cultures and using complex techniques to separate suitable spores for cultivation... This world probably didn’t have such technology.

In Yila’s query, the little fairies looked at each other and then began to answer:

"Before each harvest"

"we lay cloth over them and water it"

"then collect a bit from the surface"

"scatter it into the soil, cover with cloth, and water"

"then remove the cloth"

"..."

Although Yila didn’t fully understand, it was a relatively mature method of keeping fungal seeds. It seemed that the creatures of this world had each found their own survival methods...

Yila thought, watching most of the alfalfa seeds sink in the wooden bucket. He said, "It looks about right. This alfalfa, not only animals, but we can also eat it."

"It’s rich in crude protein, carbs, and vitamins... Well, you might not understand. Anyway, it’s pretty nutritious but hard to swallow—freshly sprouted shoots are tastier when the plant starts to green."

Yila said this, and with the little fairies, gathered around the bucket to watch the seeds. His face, alongside several small faces, looked quite cute.

Alfalfa had also been in the textbooks of Yila’s previous world—alfalfa could regenerate new stems after harvesting. Depending on sunlight, rainfall, and irrigation, it could be harvested as hay between 1 to 13 times per growing season.

In other words, as long as they watered diligently, the cattle and sheep wouldn’t have to worry about feed.

Hawk’s beard was probably a crop unique to this world, similar to alfalfa. It grew heavy, dandelion-like flower heads which could quickly regrow after harvesting.

Hawk’s beard made excellent feed for poultry, resulting in beautiful beaks, glossy feathers, and fast growth... Unfortunately, the chickens in this world weren’t very impressive.

If only they had white broiler chickens...

——————————

After teaching seed selection, Yila didn’t need to worry about the rest... The magical creatures weren’t primitive people who couldn’t farm at all; they had been farming for many years.

"Mr. Yila, you can"

"rest assured"

"wait for the calves to multiply en masse"

"and the little piglets..."

"The little piglets don’t have anything to eat?!"

Seeing the disbelief on the little fairies’ faces, Yila said helplessly, "Just ensure the sausages and black pudding, don’t need to raise them extensively. Butcher them when they’re born for meat~"

"If there are still many left..."

Yila said this, thought for a moment, and then smiled, tilting his head, "Then make them all into sausages and distribute them to everyone at the beginning of spring... That day is very important to me."

Yes, the first quarter... the first day of spring, in Yila’s previous world, was a beautiful day known as the Spring Festival. However, in this world, people didn’t have this tradition.

They didn’t even have the concept of a "weekend."

(The little magical creatures: What? We can have something delicious? Yay~)

"Oh, then it’s just the calves and lambs"

"and chicks..."

To the enthusiastic fairies, Yila indulgently waved his hand, stopping them from finishing. He looked at the goblins plowing the field relentlessly and said, "Alright, alright, I believe you all."

While Yila spoke, a goblin with half a tongue hanging out of its mouth ran past with a goblin plow, almost madly, which made him chuckle.

The chosen pasture was located some distance from the farmland but close to the cattle farm... But unfortunately, the sheep and pig farms were quite far from each other.

The chickens were kept in the Little Demons’ homes...

If they had the chance, it would be best to move them all around the pasture and replace the sun-exposed fences with more durable structures... But these details didn’t require Yila’s constant attention.

He just needed to give the orders.

Yila knew well the fate of a certain Prime Minister, so he wouldn’t overwork himself... Though if things piled up one after another, each very important, there wouldn’t be much choice.

He could only rely on the Governor’s strong physique and Golden Apples to hold out.

But now that things had finally settled, and roads were being built, it was time to start preparing... Taking the first step toward a peaceful and prosperous era—unification.

Not unifying the world, but unifying the Demon Control Area, which should have been unified in the first place.

"Let’s start... the reckoning."
