NOVEL NEXT Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Zhang Mu bought several batches of herbal seeds and opened a special area for medicinal materials at Goblin Farm. The first batch of medicinal materials and the first two batches of potatoes were planted at the same time.
There have been several good potato harvests.
The medicinal materials are only now ripe.
It shows that the growth cycle of medicinal materials is too long.
Zhang Mu came to the Goblin Farm in person.
In addition to more than 300 goblins, there are now more than 100 units of labor force composed of draconians and tauren, who are mainly responsible for menial tasks such as transporting and plowing fields.
To further increase farm efficiency.
Zhang Mu also arranged for five bull-headed priests to take shifts.
Let them restore the physical strength of the serfs and grant them a durable aura. even so.
One hundred acres of spiritual land has not been fully utilized.
More than forty acres are planted with quick-growing troll potatoes, and a dozen acres are used to grow slow-growing medicinal materials. The other thirty or forty acres are often abandoned.
This creates waste.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
This waste is caused by two internal and external reasons.
The external factor is the problem of seed supply.
The internal factor is the labor shortage.
Who said there were only more than 300 goblins now?
Zhang Mu could only continue to send dragon laborers and tauren to fight against the enemy.
Different from ordinary farmland.
One round every five or six days.
The cycle from planting to harvest is extremely short.
The workload is huge and labor intensive.
Now Zhang Mu's main seed supplier, Huayao Chen Guoguo, has been rapidly strengthening its ability to cultivate seeds recently. It's time to make full use of the farmland.
There are no goblin peasants.
It would be okay to use a tauren.
Even if the production speed is a little slower, value can still be created every day, which is better than a large number of valuable land being abandoned.
"Meet the master!"
"Long live the master!"
The goblin serfs all worshiped.
Zhang Mu waved his hand:"Go to work.
Goblin quickly stood up:"Yes!""
Now the Goblin loyalty is stable between 80% and 90%.
If more Goblins can be introduced to the farm and their average labor volume can be reduced a little, the loyalty can be further increased.
Zhang Mu went to the old village chief and asked :"Are there any goblins around here? The old goblin replied:"There are many goblins living in the forest, but small villages are often forced to move and have no long-term fixed living place... But I heard that there are large goblin tribes in the south.""
This clue is very important.
Zhang Mu silently wrote it down.
He dispersed to catch some goblins and came back to farm.
More than ten acres of medicinal fields were filled with fragrance. Due to the different planting time, most of the medicinal materials are still growing. The harvested so far It's less than two acres.
There are two main types of medicinal materials grown here.
[Grass of Life], green quality, can be taken directly, and can slowly restore 20 points of vitality!
[Moonlight Ginseng], green quality, can be taken directly, and can slowly restore 30 points of mental power!
Two thousand copies of the Herb of Life.
One thousand copies of moonlight ginseng.
Wild herbs common in the Dark Valley.
Generally, they are gray quality and white quality.
Now the medicinal materials grown by oneself are of green quality, which is actually better than common wild medicinal herbs. It can be seen that farming is the way to go!
These medicines can be taken directly.
However, if taken directly without treatment, there will be a long delay in the drug taking effect and the effect will be slow, making it unsuitable for use in combat.
Zhang Mu asked:"How many herbs are there in the medicine field now?"
Old Goblin replied:"There are about 20,000 life grasses in total, and about 10,000 moonlight ginseng plants in total."
This is good stuff!
Although the growth cycle is a bit longer.
But the profits and value are as good as the food.
Zhang Mu sent a message in the chat area:"Life grass and moonlight ginseng are for sale. If you need it, please send me a private message."
As soon as this message came out.
The chat area immediately flooded the screen with information
"Isn't this the Potato Devil?"
"Why did the Potato Devil start selling medicinal herbs?"
"666, this boss wants to carry out the farming stream to the end!"
"..."
Zhang Mu's first batch of medicinal materials to be put on the shelves include.
500 Life Grass, 30 gold coins each.
100 moonlight ginseng plants, 40 gold coins each.
The total value is 19,000 gold coins.
The trading area is not a market where prices can be marked randomly.
If you sell it cheaply, you will suffer a loss.
It's too expensive to sell, and you won't be able to trade it for half a day, and you'll still lose money in handling fees.
This price is based on Zhang Mu's observation of market conditions and finally gave a median, which is neither expensive nor cheap.
[The transaction is successful and you get 30 gold coins!]
[The transaction is successful and you get 30 gold coins!]
[The transaction is successful and you get 40 gold coins!]
[...]
Successful transaction messages came one after another.
This shows that there is not much problem with the pricing strategy.
These higher-quality medicinal materials are still relatively scarce now.
Zhang Mu was very satisfied.
Why did he grow medicinal herbs?
Why not use all the labor force to grow food?
It is nothing more than a consideration of fiscal revenue diversification.
Even if the food market changes in the future, the territory's financial situation can be maintained with the income from medicinal materials.
At this time, a private message appeared in front of me.
Mysterious Witch Liang Bai:"Boss, I can buy medicinal materials in large quantities. Can you give me a discount?"
Zhang Mu:"How much do you want to buy?" Mysterious Witch Liang Bai:"Buy 200 copies of each of the two medicinal materials!"
Not a small amount of money.
Most demon kings are short of money.
Why did this guy spend so much money on medicinal materials?
Zhang Mu:"Buying so much at one time, do you know how to refine medicine?"
The mysterious witch Liang Bai:"Yes, I have the talent to refine medicine, and my production soldiers can also refine medicine, so I need a very large supply of medicinal materials!" interesting. for this kind of cooperation.
Zhang Mu is welcome.
He needs some stable and cooperative customers.
Zhang Mu:"I'll give you a 15% discount, a total of 11,900 gold coins, but when your potion is produced, I want to get the highest priority in purchasing it."
