Chapter 78: Chapter 78: I Was Betrayed

In the evening, Lynn had the chef cook a good dinner!

After cultivating the farmland for a month, the cattle and horses were quite exhausted both physically and mentally.

On the empty ground in front of the village.

The cross-shaped bonfire built with logs burned brightly, dispelling the darkness around the entire village!

Looking at the mountain of bread on the table, and the pottery pot filled with steaming, fragrant stew.

Not only that, beside the bonfire, there were still three golden roasted pigs resting!

The golden pork sizzled with pork fat, the aroma wafting everywhere...

They couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

This scene had transformed into a grand bonfire party.

When Lynn called Lex to bring out two barrels of beer.

The atmosphere of the entire bonfire party instantly reached a climax.

The kind of life that only lords could possess!

After Lynn gave permission, the villagers divided into several groups to collect their share of food.

Voluntarily queue up?

Indeed, it was a voluntary queue.

However, it was after Lynn chopped off the heads of two villagers.

There were no more incidents of crowding or trampling!

The food they ate, and the beer they drank, were nothing for Lynn, who owned a ’platinum’ open-pit salt mine.

To the villagers, this was the reward for their hard work.

Even though it was just a full meal, a piece of crispy pork, a gallon of bitter beer.

They needed to see hope in life!

As for whether villagers might get drunk and not get up tomorrow.

Lynn didn’t need to worry at all.

The guards’ whips would wake them up.

...

The next morning.

Lynn called upon twenty male villagers to move bags of peas out of the warehouse.

Then summoned two hundred female villagers to use sieves woven from wicker and vines to pick out the pea seeds!

To ensure a good harvest of peas, it was necessary to select carefully from the very first step.

Select only those peas that were plump and lustrous to increase germination rate.

For planting peas, at least twenty pounds of pea seeds were needed for one acre.

Lynn decided to increase to thirty pounds per acre, requiring nine thousand pounds for three thousand acres!

Then poured the selected nine thousand pounds of pea seeds into a large pottery pot filled with rock salt, soaking for half an hour.

Soaking in salt water was more effective than Lynn’s previous method of mixing wheat seeds with plant ash.

It could serve as a disinfectant against certain fungi.

Moreover, it could break the dormancy of the pea seeds and increase germination rate.

Watching the chunks of rock salt being put into the pottery pot, gradually melting and disappearing.

The villagers looked on with expressions of regret.

They knew that before coming to Master Lynn’s territory, they didn’t even know the taste of salt!

The price was too high; they simply couldn’t afford it.

But now, Master Lynn was using precious rock salt to soak those cheap pea seeds...

Wasn’t this using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Nonetheless.

Master Lynn had his own reasons for doing so!

After taking two days to complete the selection and soaking of pea seeds!

Lynn called on all the farmers to begin preparing for planting.

Farmers had already spread fertiliser into soil that had been plowed with a heavy plow, further leveling it with iron hoes and rakes.

For planting peas, Lynn adopted the strip sowing method.

During the next fertilizing period, it could reduce the demand for compost and precisely know the growth conditions of the seedlings.

Under the watchful eyes of the farmers, Lynn took a hoe and dug a shallow trench in the flat ground.

Taking half a step forward, he dug a second shallow trench.

Then.

Lynn picked up a handful of pea seeds and started placing them.

One by one, the pea seeds fell from Lynn’s fingers.

[Planting Experience +1]

...

Lynn spoke, ”The distance between each shallow trench is twenty centimeters, place one pea seed at every four centimeters.”

In soil with poorer fertility.

The distance between shallow trenches should be about thirty centimeters, placing one pea seed at every five or six centimeters.

But Lynn had already instructed the farmers to spread a layer of compost on this land.

Lynn looked at Kuisi, Gavin, and Wilbur, ”Got it?”

The three of them nodded in agreement.

Not just them, but even some villagers with [Planting] skills behind them were nodding.

Pea planting technology wasn’t difficult.

The difficulty lay in controlling the details of pea planting.

Lynn divided three hundred farmers into three groups for division of labor.

The first group, holding iron hoes, dug shallow trenches on the farmland.

The second group, holding pea seeds, carried out systematic sowing.

The third group, covering the soil by gently burying the shallow trenches dug out with iron hoes.

...

For several hundred farmers, planting peas on three thousand acres of farmland was not considered much.

Lynn knew he still couldn’t relax his vigilance.

He needed this batch of pea planting to be successful and reap a harvest!

Needed pea plants to improve the fertility of this land, and also needed peas as food!

Just as Lynn was watching the farmers planting, a guard came to Lynn.

”Master Lynn, a migrant said he knows you and wants to see you.”

Lynn frowned, ”A vagabond? What’s his name?”

The guard recalled for a second, ”He said his name is Grayson!”

Lynn’s eyes widened.

Seeing the man before him dressed in ragged clothes, with brownish-yellow hair resembling a bird’s nest, standing barefoot on the limestone ground.

Lynn’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Had he not been able to see Grayson’s name and skill level, he truly would have thought he was a migrant.

He had Kuisi fetch suitable clothing for Grayson.

While getting dressed, Grayson cursed under his breath.

”Oh! Damn Church.”

”Once I develop, and become the richest person on the Garonia Continent, I will definitely take down the Church.”

”Fiercely capture the Female Pope, lock her in the room and brutally whip her.”

”To make the Church aware of the consequences of provoking me, Grayson!”

”That old fart Chad, couldn’t he have rescued me out sooner?”

Lynn didn’t interrupt Grayson’s tirade of grievances.

Feeling Lynn’s gaze, Grayson ceased his rant.

He looked at Lynn with sincerity, speaking, ”Master Lynn, I am bankrupt!”

Lynn leaned forward, looking at Grayson, ”Tell me more.”

Grayson took a deep breath and began explaining, ”Master Lynn, I admit this time I was careless... I was betrayed!”

”To quickly purchase the quality iron and slaves Master Lynn desired, I had to cash out my fine salt quickly.”

”Coincidentally, a friend’s longship was vacant, so at his plea, I sold all the salt to him.”

”I gave him a condition; he was to sell the fine salt only after shipping out of Kakasong City...”

”Selling in Kakasong City would indeed cause a fluctuation in fine salt prices, attracting the attention of some big figures.”

Lynn placed his left hand on the table, tapping rhythmically with five fingers.

Thump thump thump~

Grayson continued, ”But he violated our agreement! He began selling in Kakasong City, causing the fine salt prices there to start spiking!”

”But that’s not a big deal, just a few thousand pounds of salt, it wouldn’t take long to recover.”

”However... it hurt the interests of the Church in Kakasong City!”

”My friend was detained by the Church deacon, and he immediately exposed me, which led to my imprisonment in the Church Prison!”

Lynn nodded, ”And now you’re out?”

Grayson looked directly at Lynn, ”Yes, Master Lynn, I’m out!”

”Because... I am Grayson Brown, the damn great merchant, Sea Black Snake—Chad Brown’s great-grandson!”
