Chapter 233 gives the ninja world a small productivity shock!
Golden rice fields!
However, the rice ears here are more numerous and fuller than in other places, even bending the rice plants.

"This……"

Many people thought of something and their breathing became faster.

The ninjas of the Great Ninja Village are not just reckless men who only know how to fight, they also have to learn to read and gain other knowledge, so they naturally understand what this situation means.

Soon, large tracts of rice fields were harvested by over a hundred wooden oxen, then bagged, counted and transported away.

"No way!"

“Could it be…!”

"how is this possible?"

...

Various voices of disbelief rang out from the team.

Because they are standing on a high place, they can see the harvesting scene and can naturally make a rough estimate of the yield.

Not long after!
A witch holding a statistics book came over to report.

"Sir, we have harvested 260 mu of crops so far. The maximum yield per mu is 160 kilograms, the minimum is 200 kilograms, and the average is about kilograms. Moreover, this is only the first year after reclamation. The yield will surely be higher in the future!"

The other party spoke out cold but exciting data.

terrible!

You should know that the average rice yield in the Ninja World is just over 100 jin per acre, or about 50 kilograms.

Yes, you heard it right, this is the output.

After all, those who understand productivity in the ninja world know that it is normal to plant with sticks and stone hoes, and harvest with hands and stone sickles. Most places adopt the strategy of 'wide planting and thin harvest'.

That is to say, a large amount of seeds are sown and then the harvest depends on the weather, so it is normal to harvest less than 100 kilograms per acre.

For example, the yield around Konoha is due to the abundant labor force, which allows for intensive farming, with a yield of two to three hundred catties per acre, or about one hundred kilograms.

But that is fertile land that has been cultivated for many years!
where is this place?.

More than half a year ago, it was still a barren wilderness, completely worthless.

But now it can crush the fertile fields of Konoha in terms of output. How can it not be shocking?

There are several reasons for this output.

First up, fertilizer!
Tang Ping has been collecting kelp, shells, etc. to make compost, which are also the things that were sprinkled into the paddy fields from time to time before.

Then there is plenty of water!
Those huge ditches that were built beyond human power were not dug in vain. At least they ensured that the paddy fields never lacked water.

Finally, the seeds!

Although Tang Ping is far from being able to compare with a certain god-level boss in terms of hybrid rice.

But he knew more than the people in the ninja world, and the hot springs quickly ripened generations of seeds, which allowed him to cultivate hybrid rice that crushed ordinary rice in terms of yield.

Tenshu-No.1!
It was also Tang Ping who named this batch of seeds. If they were planted in fertile fields, the yield would be even more exaggerated.

But this output is enough for now.

"this…"

"Zun Du Fake Du?"

“Isn’t the statistics wrong?”

"The statistics can be wrong, but we can't be wrong, right?"

"A miracle, simply a miracle!"

...

Hinata Sogetsu, Uchiha Mei, Yamama Koji, Honda Masaru... and others were also unable to calm down at this time.

The newly reclaimed paddy fields can crush the fertile fields of Konoha in terms of per-acre yield. What kind of hellish joke is this?

Looking at everyone's reactions, Tang Ping felt extremely proud.

Here, let me give you a little taste of the farming talent of the Rabbit Country people.

"Only these 50,000 acres are Tenshu No. 1. Only in the next round can these hundreds of thousands of acres be planted with Tenshu No. 1."

Dohei reminded them not to get excited, as this was not the full range of Castle No. 1.

But this is already an exaggeration.

Fifty thousand acres of Tenshu No. 1 means a harvest of about ten thousand tons. If we add the harvest from the other hundreds of thousands of acres, the total grain output will be at least tens of thousands of tons.

Tens of thousands of tons of rice!
If you spend money to buy it, it will definitely be an astronomical figure.

Money is a small matter; the main problem is that transportation is extremely troublesome.

Now, the castle tower will be completely self-sufficient and can feed hundreds of thousands of people without any problem.

No matter how much a ninja eats, he will never be able to eat down the castle tower.

It's a miracle!
A miracle that only Douhei could accomplish.

Because he was the only one who could take out the reclaimed paddy fields, ditches...the wooden ox and the seeds.

It would be impossible for anyone else to do it.

Now, even Konoha Village is a little short of food, so you can imagine the value of this batch of food. In the ninja world where productivity is extremely backward, the value of food is both high and low.

It is high because there is a food shortage everywhere.

Low means that most of the nobles have grain in their warehouses, but they would rather let it rot than use it to help the poor who are starving to death.

It is not impossible for the five major ninja villages to buy it. They just need to negotiate the relationship first and then offer a high price.

Otherwise, do you really think the five major ninja villages like farming?

I was totally forced!

If a ninja wants to maintain a healthy state of refining chakra, his appetite will be at least several times that of an ordinary person. If he fights and trains frequently, his appetite will increase further.

This is how the five major countries control the ninja villages.

Through funding or logistics.

This is completely useless for the castle tower.

Because they broke the limitations in this regard.

"Let's go, don't be absent from today's harvest festival!"

After looking at it for a while, Dohei was satisfied and prepared to return to the castle tower.

The Harvest Festival is an annual festival in the ninja world that is used to celebrate the harvest. Now is the time to hold it to dilute the tense atmosphere in the castle tower.

In the returning team.

Honda Katsu's body was trembling slightly.

Not because of illness, but because of excitement.

Because he just realized one thing.

United Fruit Chamber of Commerce!

What a terrifying force it will be.

After all, there are tens of thousands of tons of food in the castle tower, not to mention the amount of food in the River Country, where the amount will be even more terrifying.

With such a large amount of food under control, one can even manipulate the food prices of a country.

For example, food in the Water Kingdom has always been in short supply.

Once such a large amount of grain is transported there, not only can huge profits be reaped instantly, but the market share of other grain merchants can also be squeezed out.

If the grain trade is monopolized, one can imagine the power of speech.

If it were any other chamber of commerce, they wouldn't dare to do this even if they had so much food.

Because the business war in the ninja world is too cruel.

But the United Fruit Chamber of Commerce has the castle tower standing behind it.

Although the castle tower cannot defeat the five major ninja villages, the problem is that the five major ninja villages cannot deal with the United Fruit Chamber of Commerce.

Such a promising chamber of commerce is managed by his own son, Honda Taka. How could Honda Masaru not be excited?

Soon, the team returned to the newly renovated castle tower.

All traces of the former Chashan City have completely disappeared, without a trace left.

When there were enough people, they simply demolished the dilapidated city wall.

With the Southwestern Ninja Army stationed there, plus the Uchiha Nagamaba lineage (nearly a hundred ninjas in the guard department also moved here) and the castle tower garrison composed of civilian ninjas, why would we need a city wall?

It's good enough that they don't cause trouble for others.

Wooden houses, mud houses, and tents sprang up from the ground, all in an orderly manner, totally unlike the chaos before.

There are no stones or wood around the city, just weeds at most.

That's why it is called a barren land.

If it weren't for the powerful monsters in his hands, it would be impossible to develop.

If Konoha had known Dou Ping's ability earlier, it would never have agreed to his choice of base here.

It’s a bit too far from the village!
It is almost the border area of ​​the Fire Nation, and it is also the place where the village's influence is weakest.

Originally, the castle tower was more than two kilometers away from the port, but now with the expansion of the city, it has been shrunk by almost half, making it appear closer.

There are more than a dozen large ships docked at the port, and many people are working hard to load and unload cargo.

Many of these things need to be transported from here to the island in the middle of the river on the other side of the River Country.

The port routes between the two places have been completely opened up, and the orphans from the starting point will come here for internship from time to time.

At the same time, a part of the garrison was also stationed in the River Kingdom.

National borders, something that can restrict Konoha, are of no use to Dou Ping.

Just as I returned to the city, I saw Uzumaki Kasumi... the one I brought back from the Kusagakure Village, coming towards me with a child in her arms.

"Sir, you have something delivered!"

She looked at Tang Ping with a strange look, which meant that there was something wrong.
