Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Let the dragon farm.

The more Drogo thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.

If you look closely at the characteristics of the dragon, you will find that it is simply a large carbon-based agricultural equipment.

It can be used as a powerful tractor to reclaim wasteland and loosen the soil. It can plow through the ground by inserting its claws.

If you plant tall crops, you can harvest them with one claw, so dragons should be allowed to plant corn, sorghum and other crops.

It can also fly, so it can easily spray pesticides at low altitudes.

There is no need for a scarecrow to scare the birds or anything like that. A dragon squatting at the edge of the field will ensure that no birds dare to come within dozens of acres.

If the dragon can cast spells, it can also learn some magic that helps agriculture, making it more comprehensive.

The only drawback is that given the dragon's size, it's difficult to sow seeds and so on, and it can only rely on tools.

The ability to change size at will is not a skill that all dragons have mastered.

Moreover, neither Waterdeep nor the North had that much land for dragon species.

The North was chosen because of climate issues, and when Waterdeep was chosen its location was in a place that was not suitable for farming.

Drogo had always thought it was a waste to build a house on good land.

But this does not pose a problem for the clever Drogo.

He plans to engage in "agricultural dragon leasing".

Rent out dragons that have learned different planting skills and charge by time.

If the Shenzhen Research Institute had no idle project teams at the moment, it would have to develop some supporting agricultural equipment for Long.

As for the question of whether there is anyone who can afford to rent an agricultural dragon, Drogo conducted an investigation.

The answer is, yes, it is possible.

Because the vast majority of Felin’s farmland is not in the hands of individual farmers.

They are all monopolized by the nobles, landlords, and farmers.

They often own hundreds of acres of land, while nobles with high titles usually own thousands of acres.

These people can afford to rent a dragon.

It’s similar to renting large agricultural machinery.

One dragon should be enough to greatly increase the planting sales of these big landowners.

At the same time, the dragon cannot replace all the planting work, so it will not occupy the living space of ordinary farmers.

Generally speaking, more arable land should be reclaimed rather than letting the original farmers lose their jobs.

Good ideas should make the pie bigger.

Therefore, Drogo decided to open up a piece of land, not to actually grow crops, but to shoot an advertising video of the dragons' farming results, and then sell it to those landowners.

The only remaining difficulty now is to convince these young dragons.

Dragons are a proud race.

And it's that kind of unreasonable pride.

If you live to the age of an ancient dragon, or an ancient dragon, and have the strength foundation, then you can be proud of it, and others can't say anything.

But most dragons, from the young dragon stage, think that they are the chosen dragons and that all other races are inferior to dragons.

It is still a little difficult to get them to farm willingly.

In Long's opinion, delivering couriers or being drafted into the army are both much more high-end jobs than farming.

They have been bullied badly enough by those short races, and now they have to grow food for them.

What a shame!
Fortunately, the Dragon Clan has been having a rough time recently, so there is still something to talk about.

Moreover, the young dragon’s brain is not very good and he is easily fooled.

Drogo also learned that these dragons yearned for the former glory of the dragon clan and greatly beautified the history that they had not experienced.

In other words, the ancient times.

As a dragon who experienced that period firsthand, Drogo can say responsibly that it was not that glorious.

At most, it can be considered one of the top races.

The gap between this and the picture that these young people imagine of dragons ruling the world is huge.

As for that country, it is also quite loose.

In Drogo's opinion, it could only be called a larger tribe and could hardly be called a country.

What country doesn't even have proper laws? When a dispute arises, either the leader says "I'll figure it out" or they fight, and whoever wins is right.

However, one good thing about the unrealistic fantasies of the young dragons is that they look at Drogo through a filter.

Dragons from the "Golden Age"!

Thanks to this kind of mental worship, Drogo has a natural charm bonus to the dragon clan. No matter what he says, his persuasiveness is +1.

After two days, the statistics of this batch of dragons were finally completed. During this period, dozens of new dragons arrived, bringing the number of dragons in Waterdeep City to over five hundred.

After counting, the result was as expected, this was also a group of dragons without any special skills.

They have almost no skills to be applied in the industrial age.

A few ancient dragons have some accomplishments in magic and can transform into humans or change their body shapes. They are arranged to work in research institutes or schools and start as the most entry-level interns.

Although they possessed good spellcasting abilities, their knowledge of spell principles was very backward, far below the average level of the time.

It's like studying mathematics for many years and figuring out trigonometric functions by yourself. That's not bad, but trigonometric functions are only at the level of a junior high school student.

The car built behind closed doors was smashed by a modern car.

Fortunately, they are capable enough, and it is not something that ordinary people can do to figure out "trigonometric functions" on their own. If they start learning as interns, it shouldn't take long for them to keep up with the times.

Among the remaining dragons, those with the best physical fitness will undergo military training and will be able to parachute behind enemy lines carrying anti-aircraft machine guns in the future.

They had no objection to carrying people on their backs because their military ranks were higher than those of the people they carried.

So it looks like a person is riding a dragon, but in fact the person is just a "pendant" and the dragon is the commander.

No matter how low the level of a dragon is, they will all go into delivery.

Drogo is preparing to open a transport route connecting the major cities east and west of Sutton, as well as the first foreign route in the Papal States.

This is the first step in the expansion of the express delivery industry to cover the entire continent and even the world.

And it is no longer just one dragon running the entire route, but a group of dragons is responsible for a fixed route between two cities, each group is led by the original express dragon and brings some new dragons.

After all these arrangements were made, there were still nearly two hundred dragons left.

Naturally, they would become the first agricultural dragons in Felin's history.

These dragons were taken to experimental fields designated on the outskirts of the city.

Faced with this group of confused young dragons, Drogo decided to start a big deception, no, ideological education plan.

"Your task is to learn how to farm."

As soon as these words were spoken, the dragon group burst into an uproar.

Obviously, the young dragons were somewhat dissatisfied with Drogo's assignment.

When has the dragon clan ever done farming?
But due to Drogo's majesty, they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction directly.

Drogo let them make noise for a few minutes, and then continued after they had quieted down a little.

"Do you think that asking you to farm is beneath your dignity and an insult to the dragon race? How can a great dragon do such a 'lowly' job as producing food for others?"

The dragons nodded. Dragons had always hunted or robbed when they had nothing to eat, because hunting involved more fighting than farming, so it was more dignified.

All I can say is that Long’s train of thought is a bit abstract.

There are obviously fewer and fewer enemies to fight now, but I still find fighting fun.

"It's too narrow-minded. Do you know that agriculture is the primary industry, the premise of all development, and the core of the core of survival and development?"

As an example, Drogo began to tell a short story about how the kingdom of dragons was destroyed.

Of course, this example is made up.

I simply didn't play it back then.

"In the past, dragons did not have the ability to produce their own food and could only rely on hunting. However, prey was limited, and because they hunted too much, the prey decreased. Eventually, they faced a food shortage dilemma. The lifeline of food was strangled by other countries."

Drogo vividly described how the dragons of the past were caught in a cycle of lack of food, raiding, making enemies, other kingdoms refusing to trade food, becoming even more food-starved, and not being able to defeat their enemies because they were not well fed, which made their lives even worse.

A vivid and fabricated historical story.

The dragons present were shocked when they heard this.

It turns out that the former dragon kingdom was destroyed because no dragons were willing to farm.

That's not right, shouldn't the subordinates be arrested for farming?

Some dragons realized the holes in Drogo's story, but because of their Drogo filters, they chose to believe it.

It must be because different races at that time had their own gods, so it was not easy to capture subordinates.

Right, that is it.

How could Drogo, who wanted to rebuild the dragon kingdom, lie to them?
After giving the examples, Drogo began to conclude his speech, "So, if we want to build a new dragon kingdom that can survive, agriculture must be mastered. It must be mastered by dragons. In this way, we can control the lifelines of other races, which is far more effective than simple looting."

After a round of deception, a slogan that is sufficiently inflammatory is also needed.

"Agriculture makes the dragon race great again!"

Apart from anything else, this slogan is indeed powerful, concise and powerful, and it has special effects on dragons who have strong bodies but simple minds.

After some persuasion from Drogo, the two hundred dragons accepted the job of farming.

Farming is not something that can be done just by saying it. There is no shortage of physical strength, but there are many techniques that need to be learned.

In order to help them become qualified farmer dragons, Drogo found some very professional teachers for them.

An expert specializing in agriculture was hired from the research institute, and then Aisha was asked to find some experienced farmers.

This matter is a little troublesome because Drogo's main activity areas, whether it is the Two Towers, Waterdeep, the North or the Royal City, do not do much farming.

These places are either industrial areas, political centers, or used to be engaged in fishing, hunting and animal husbandry, but no farming.

When Aisha was preparing for open recruitment, she suddenly realized that open recruitment would require screening and testing, and she didn't know the details, while the folks in her hometown had all been farmers since childhood.

The farming level is not bad, at least in their area, it is considered a good village.

then……

"Aisha, what are we here for?"

Outside Waterdeep, several people wearing regional costumes, similar in style to Elsa's mother when she first debuted, asked curiously.

This was their first time in a big city.

Although they had never heard of Waterdeep, any place with the word "city" in its name should be a big city.

In the village, the degree to which changes of the times are felt is much slower than in the city.

The city is completely different from what it was ten years ago, but the village is as if the past ten years have not passed.
"Didn't I tell you? Teach you how to farm." Aisha replied.

She has answered countless questions along the way, and the villagers are very curious about everything they see that they have never seen before.

It was not until he got out of the city that he started to care about his work.

Anyway, Elsa and her family knew everything about them, and they had made a lot of money. Elsa's family helped out a lot, so they came along when there was work to do.

trust!

“Teach people to farm?”

"Well, almost. It's teaching how to farm."

Elsa has completely learned the bad habit of hiding key information from Drogo without telling lies, and she is very skilled at it.

"Hey, there are really all kinds of things. Some people even ask us to teach them how to farm."

In fact, no one is looking for it.

Aisha was too embarrassed to say it.

"Are you sure each of us will get twenty silver coins a month?"

"That's for sure. The wages will definitely not be less."

The Zhuoge Group never deducts money, and there is no need to do so. Salaries are always paid at the beginning of the month.

"It's really that much. Oh my god, this month is as much as I have been farming for half a year, and I can still make so much money. Oh, how much can you make in a month, little Aisha? It must be several times this, right?"

"Haha..." Aisha smiled awkwardly, "It's a few times."

"Since your job is so stable, why haven't you gotten married yet..."

Elsa was silent. Every time this happened, she would have the urge to just tell others that "I like girls".

However, her silence did not reduce the villagers' enthusiasm for awkward chatting.

The group came to the experimental field excitedly, ready to earn some "free" silver coins.

Then, they saw more than a hundred pairs of large vertical pupil eyes staring at them.

Now, it is the villagers' turn to remain silent.

……

"How are the dragons learning to farm?" Drogo asked.

"The progress is very fast," Aisha replied. "With the help of Doudou, the teachers quickly became familiar with the dragons, and these dragons are very good at farming."

"How are you good at it?"

“They have a good memory, are quick in their movements, and are usually a bit serious about things, so they will make the floor very neat and tidy.”

"Well, it looks like the OCD gene is taking effect."

In fact, the dragon clan has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The treasures they collect are not piled up in a chaotic manner, but are arranged in categories, especially their favorite categories.

Just like in Drogo's gold coin pool, there cannot be silver coins, copper coins, or any other strange currencies.

Otherwise how can it be called a gold coin pool.

“It is expected that they will be able to shoot the demonstration promotional video in a short time.”

"Very good. Are the routes to cities in the East and West Territories and the Papal States that support online shopping all open?"

"The trial operation will start tomorrow, and local merchants are very willing to open online stores."

"In that case, let's hold a big promotion to promote online shopping in these cities as quickly as possible."

"Ah, the last promotion wasn't..."

When Zhuogo's online shopping platform was officially put into operation for the first time, it carried out a very strong promotion. However, due to the high number of simultaneous visits, it experienced serious lag.

A slight change also occurred in the divine skeleton—cracks appeared on the spirit egg.

"Last time, there was a problem with the spell program. It has been repaired. And I think, since the image of the divine skeleton is an egg, shouldn't it be..."

Drogo said seriously: "It will hatch something." (End of this chapter)
