The loss of more than twenty people and dozens of gold coins, compared to the rich and crucial information covered daily by the intelligence system, is not worth taking up one of the ten valuable slots for a special reminder.
This made Su Li quite nostalgic; as the territory grows and power expands, the idyllic life of the past where paths crisscrossed and neighbors lived closely together is ultimately unsustainable.
Nonetheless, he already anticipated this. He can’t expect that when he becos a Count, Duke, or even Emperor, the Daily Intelligence System would still update him with low-value intelligence like which village was attacked by a pack of beastn or which two rchant caravans had a conflict resulting in over twenty casualties.
The system being able to tily remind him when large defensive fortresses like White Castle or Storm Shadow Fortress are about to be raided is already the limit.
In the end, the sprawling territory with its scattered strongholds and villages has to rely on their own defense.
In this regard, the value of the Stone Skin Pumpkin even surpasses Moonlight Cabbage and Erald Green Ears!
Su Li felt that this thing was sowhat like... a fantasy version of cent?
Don’t underestimate cent. Even before Su Li traveled here, cent was regarded as a first-class award in national science and technology advancent, and a second-class award in national technological invention.
High-strength cent and concrete have a strong defensive ability against gunpowder and cannons! Even nuclear bombs find it hard to destroy vast amounts of cent and reinforced concrete structures.
Of course, in this world, magic is more prevalent, but even with many powerful Fla Magic spells and dwarf cannons bombarding together, a strong cent construction can offer exceptional defensive capabilities.
If every village in the Hesse Territory had enough Stone Skin powder to defend with, it would be difficult for the regular beastman blades and axes to breach the stronghold walls.
Thinking this way, Su Li found Vandar’s suggestion quite reasonable.
With a large number of farrs freed from the fields to plant this Stone Skin Pumpkin, it seems much like a large number of workers entering a cent factory. The expression, however, better fits the pastoral style of the Knight Empire in this world.
So Su Li inquired with concern, "How is the situation with planting this Stone Skin Pumpkin?"
"The growth conditions for the Stone Skin Pumpkin are extrely harsh. It can only grow in stone cracks of abandoned castles, ancient battlefield relics, or soil elent-rich mining areas. If you, Lord, do not use the Earth Vein Compass, our current planting scale is quite limited, with only a small amount planted on ancient ruins in the southeast part of the territory, covering an area of less than one acre."
"But fortunately, the Stone Skin Pumpkin is extraordinarily high-yielding. Ordinary pumpkins can have a yearly output of up to 5000 pounds, while Stone Skin Pumpkins are heavier with the sa volu, having a yield of over 8000 pounds per acre."
Listening to Vandar, Su Li finally felt a little relieved.
He knew the pumpkin yield per acre is high; he heard on Earth so pumpkins could yield over ten thousand pounds per acre.
For Stone Skin Pumpkins to yield 8000 pounds per acre, he was already very satisfied and did not demand the highest possible yield.
As for the idea of altering the Earth Vein Compass which Vandar ntioned, it was impossible to realize. He had planned to use Forging Fire Resonance to increase vein elent concentration, thus planting more Stone Skin Pumpkins.
But after returning to the territory, Su Li had already used the Compass effect for this quarter, choosing Breath of Harvest.
Being springti now, the entire territory was thriving, with expansive fertile land stretching for thousands of acres. He naturally prioritized Breath of Harvest to let all the farmlands and ranches bask in the Wind of Jilun, ensuring a great harvest for the territory next month.
