Teyvat: The road to becoming a god begins in the desert

But once the premise of not using the Bountiful Bounty is added, this matter is enough to make people yearn for it.

Next.

Rhodes continued.

"In view of the great success of my experimental plot, Dolly has agreed to provide me with funding to continue cultivating new crops. The only requirement is that all harvests must be sold to her first."

"simply put."

"What I sell is technology and patented results."

"As for the subsequent promotion of planting, what is needed is in-depth cooperation between Aru Village and her, including but not limited to providing land, protecting crops, expelling monsters and bandits, and all subsequent matters."

"We need to wait until she arrives to talk to you about how to operate this matter, as well as the purchase price, how to divide responsibilities for profit and loss, and what to do if there is a natural disaster that reduces production. You have to discuss these in detail."

"I can only tell you roughly that at least one of her requirements is that there should be no competitors in the Xumi market. That is to say, the village can only contract planting, and absolutely cannot sell privately for profit, even if her competitors pay higher prices. Even if the price is high, you can’t break the contract.”

"The advantage of this is that the village will have another stable source of income in the future."

"The disadvantage is that most of what the village will grow in the future will be subject to Dolly's arrangements. All harvests can only be sold to Dolly. Even if Dolly pays less, you can't sell it to others, otherwise she has the right to claim compensation. ”

"After this agreement is reached, it will not be terminated until at least the village has repaid the loan. At that time, you can negotiate a new contract with Dolly."

At the end, Rhodes did not forget to add: "Similar to the second point, if Aru Village does not agree with this matter, or has any objections to the contract agreement proposed by Dolly, Dolly will still directly withdraw funds and leave. Find land and manpower elsewhere. In other words, this is also a mandatory cooperation. If you want to build a village, you have no choice. "

Two consecutive requests for forced sexual cooperation made Candice and Uncle Anpu frown in thought.

This is not over yet.

Rhodes then revealed Dolly's fourth request: "Dolly will fund the renovation and expansion of the road from Aru Village to Kavanyi. Yes, you heard it right, she will provide all the money, but she will Checkpoints are set up here to collect tolls. Except for her caravan, other merchants who want to pass the road she built must pay tolls. The specific toll standards are drawn up by her, which are basically calculated based on the weight and quantity of the goods. "Other adventurers, travelers, and mercenary groups traveling on this stretch of road also need to pay tolls based on what they carry. The villagers of Aru Village and the Blazing Hunters enjoy the privilege of being exempted from tolls."

"This is impossible!"

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Uncle Anpu immediately said: "If we do this, the village will have to be tied to her in the future. Wouldn't there be no room for development for us?"

Dolly is willing to help Aru Village build roads, which is a good thing.

But these requirements were added to her.

In fact, it is equivalent to turning this trade route that everyone can use into her private trade route, especially with the restrictions on solo travelers, which is equivalent to driving away those who have long been accustomed to living in the village. A trader.

Moreover, Aru Village is under the jurisdiction of the Order Council after all.

If tolls are collected privately.

That would be tantamount to slapping the teaching council in the face.

If the Ecclesiastical Council withdraws the trade permission at that time, then the village that has managed to get to where it is today will be completely destroyed.

The previous two mandatory agreements can also promise to provide land, people and protection, which is not a very difficult thing.

But once this agreement is reached.

That is equivalent to handing over the entire economic lifeline of Aru Village to Dolly. If Dolly leaves them behind in the future, no matter how well the village is built, the economy will completely collapse overnight.

Although Uncle Anpu may not have the opportunity to see this scene at his age, he still doesn't want to leave such a hidden danger to his descendants that is very likely to destroy the entire village.

"What if the right to use this road belongs to Aru Village?"

Rhodes, who knew early on that Uncle Anpu would never agree to this matter, quietly dropped another bombshell.

"What did you say?"

Uncle Anpu, who had been firmly opposed to this matter just now, was stunned when he heard this.

Candice also raised her own doubts: "That businessman, can she agree?"

If you follow what Rhodes said.

Is the road Dolly spent a lot of effort building for Aru Village?

"This is the biggest leniency I can get for you from Dolly."

"The ownership rights of this road belong to Dolly in the early stage. She enjoys all the privileges she proposed. She can also give you the privileges like those given to Aru Village and Blazing Hunter."

"Until she recovers all the investment in road construction, she will return the right to use this road to you. The only requirement is to retain the privileges previously given to her."

"As for the Holy Order, you don't have to worry. She will take care of the relationship. Not only will no one come to make things difficult for you, the Holy Order will also send someone to announce the legality of your collection of tolls on this road."

"All right."

"These are the four things I talked about with Dolly in Xumi City. You can discuss it among yourselves and wait until she arrives at Aru Village to give you an answer."

After saying that, Rhode stood up and left, leaving room for thinking to Uncle Amp and Candice.

Chapter 98 The Grass God’s Personal Teaching

Dolly's four conditions are actually not harsh.

At least that's what Rhodes thinks.

Although many of the cooperation she proposed are mandatory, Aru Village can definitely earn a lot from these transactions, and it can also provide many employment opportunities for those in the village who are looking for a living.

Said it before.

Twenty years ago, Aru Village was basically no different from the tribesmen in the desert.

Although with the help of Kawei's father, the village gradually got rid of the ignorance of the past, the bad habits of the tribesmen are still spread in the village.

same.

The village still lacks the means to make money.

Even if trade is opened up, not everyone is suitable for this industry, so there are still many people whose lives have been hovering above the poverty line.

Like Rishti’s son.

If it weren't for making money, would he become a mercenary?

In the end, he ended up dying in the yellow sand without leaving even a single relic.

Dolly's investment now.

This can greatly alleviate the employment pressure of villagers.

This is just like those big factories in Rhode's previous life investing in and building factories in certain areas. The improvement this kind of operation brings to people's lives is obvious.

Moreover, Dolly is a businessman. If she does not get enough benefits from these investments, how can she be willing to spend money.

This is not a deal with Rhodes.

At least Rhodes has genuine technology in his hands, and it is cutting-edge science and technology produced by the gods, and he will never lose money.

When dealing with Aru Village, she needs to consider all aspects of the factors, and it is reasonable to add such a bunch of restrictions.

and so.

Rod was not worried at all that Candice and Uncle Amp would reject these conditions.

For this reason, he also specifically told Kawei to go to the village in advance to make plans if he had nothing to do, and he would be ready to start construction as soon as Dolly's funds were in place.

Kavi's business is done.

Things in Aru Village are also finished.

Rhodes will have to deal with his own affairs next.

So what's the deal with him?

Naturally, it’s still farming.

It sounds strange.

Although I liked making flowers and plants in my previous life, I basically played with potted ornamental flowers and the like that were planted in flower pots. A life like this, carrying a hoe to dig soil in the fields every day, was obviously my first time. , but Rhodes was extremely immersed in it.

"Is it really the genes in your bones that are causing trouble?"

With these thoughts in mind, Rhodes started the second wave of trial planting in the experimental field.

It’s different from when I first came to this land.

Under the transformation of grass slime, the soil quality and fertility of this experimental field are getting better and better day by day.

It's still a little short of the fertile soil in the rainforest area.

But looking at the desert, this is definitely a good place.

I know Rhodes will start work again today.

Candice came early in the morning.

However, this time she did not come to talk about cooperation with Dolly, but to help with farming.

Disiya and Kelai also wore bamboo hats and dug holes and shoveled grass. After a while, they were all sweating profusely.

Adebayi, who has limited use of his hands, was fiddling with the video camera, preparing to take pictures of the entire planting process, so as to leave image data for the subsequent experimental records.

This idea was told to him by Rhodes.

"Why do you have to write so many incomprehensible things by hand when you have a good thing like a photo camera that can leave images?"

These words suddenly enlightened Adebayi.

He even wondered why he hadn't thought of this before.

In the experimental field.

After carefully inspecting the pit dug by Kelai and the others, Rhodes carefully sowed the seeds he brought back from Sumeru City.

This time.

What he was going to get was the results of the hybridization experiment that Nasida had obtained.

This makes me have to mention the magic of the dream world of Nasida.

You must know that cross-breeding is not a simple matter.

The complicated and long breeding cycle alone is enough to deter many people.

Moreover, the high-quality offspring produced by cross-breeding may also experience segregation of traits, making them unsuitable for seed saving.

This further increases the difficulty of the experiment and the period for achieving results.

For example, Adebayi has been researching for a long time, but he has never achieved the desired results. Even because the experiment is too difficult and the cycle is too long, the Ecclesiastical Council is unwilling to grant him funding for this project.

However, the accelerated simulation function of Nasida's dream world can directly ignore this lengthy breeding process.

Use her experimental results.

Rhodes easily bought suitable seeds from Xumi City and could carry out sowing experiments with clear goals.

Of course.

These seeds are only the first generation of parents. According to the data obtained by Nasida, it will take at least two more generations to get the most suitable plants.

Therefore, in order to quickly reach adult plants, Rhodes specially applied some fertile benefits to the ground to accelerate the growth of these first-generation plants and obtain experimental results quickly.

"By the way, what exactly is the principle of Bountiful Benefit? Why does it have such a good effect?"

When applying the bounty of fertility, Rhodes asked Nasida casually.

He had always wondered about this.

This kind of different-world golden jade is really easy to use.

It was so useful that he always suspected whether there was something related to Nasida added to it.

Nasida's answer confirmed this.

"Things with abundant benefits are related to the heart of God, so only the Order Academy can create them."

Heart of God.

Rhodes slapped his mouth and made no comment.

This thing is a symbol of Nashida as one of the seven rulers of the world. It has now been confiscated by the House of Lords and is being used to maintain the void.

It turns out that the Blessing of Fertility was created using the power from God’s Heart. No wonder it has such a strong effect.

After talking about the benefits of fertility.

Nasida took the initiative and asked: "Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Ok?"

"what do you want to do?"
