Standing on a cleared hilltop and looking around, the entire Maple Leaf Territory is surrounded by mountains on three sides, enclosing the only plain.

According to the legends passed down by successive dukes, the entire plain covers an area of ​​approximately 300,000 acres, and the Duke's Castle is located in the middle of the plain.

Although it is not clear why the production reduction problem occurred, such a Feng Shui treasure land should not be in such a situation.

"Grandpa Arnold, I heard that our Maple Leaf Territory has been passed down to Grandpa for nearly 800 years. Why didn't so many of our ancestors think of changing their living habits?"

"My young master, this question is actually very easy to explain. First of all, our Maple Leaf Territory is short of money and food. If we want to make some changes, we need a lot of gold coins to support it.

Secondly, the lords of all generations did not dare to make random changes. After all, the livelihoods of nearly 100,000 people in Maple Leaf Territory depend on changes, and changes may not necessarily produce the results we want. If a bad situation arises, we will be sorry to our ancestors. "

"Are we going to remain poor just because of the possibility of uncontrollable situations?" Although Lin Xingchen understood the meaning of this, it was still somewhat difficult for him to accept it.

In another time and space, there is such a person among my close relatives. He has better choices but is willing to work hard for fear of losing control.

But since these things will be yours in the future, they naturally cannot remain unchanged. Change is necessary, but you cannot make earth-shaking changes right away. It is better to start small.

Once you have made up your mind, you naturally have to take action, and the subsequent itinerary went on as scheduled.

"Young master, it's time to go back. We have been out for five days. If we don't go back, the master will be worried." Arnold's mind is always on Green and Lin Xingchen.

"Well, although I only looked at some small corners, our situation is somewhat clear. I will discuss it with Grandpa when I get back."

On the way back, Lin Xingchen remained silent, and kept writing down his plan on paper. Arnold looked at the words written by Lin Xingchen in fear.

The four-wheeled carriage was relatively stable. After I had written down a rough development plan in my mind, it was only half a day's journey to the castle.

Compared to the energy of a four-year-old child, Lin Xingchen seemed very energetic to outsiders. However, the long period of mental exertion was still a bit too much for Lin Xingchen now. When he returned to the castle, Arnold carried him out of the carriage.

"The young master is very tired, so he is sleeping soundly. Please make arrangements so that no one disturbs his rest." After instructing his daughter-in-law Linda, he took the plan written by Lin Xingchen and went straight to Green's position.

"Master, we are back!" Arnold greeted Green with a serious expression.

"I'm glad you're back. Where did Little Xingchen go? Why didn't he come to see me?" Although Green noticed Arnold's expression, he still asked his grandson first.

"Master, the little master has fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive energy consumption. This is a good thing for him."

"Too much energy consumption? What do you want to say?"

"Master, look at what this is!" Then he handed the plan written by Lin Xingchen to Green.

Green took it without thinking, but his expression suddenly changed when he saw the words written on the special parchment.

"Who taught him this? At his current age and mental strength, can he handle writing so much high elven text?"

"Master, you may not believe me, but I was beside the young master, watching him write the first word until he finished writing the sheepskin in your hand. Although the young master looked exhausted, he did not show any backlash."

"Who else knows about this?" There was a cold light flashing in Green's eyes.

"Except me, no one else knows what the young master wrote." Arnold answered affirmatively.

"Don't spread it outside. Just keep it to yourself. I'll ask about the details slowly." After Green finished explaining, he motioned for Arnold to go down and rest.

He came to the bedroom alone, took out a yellowed book from the wall beside the bed, and opened it directly to the place he wanted to find. There was a sentence written on it in the common language of the mainland.

"There will be a person in your family who is born with the ability to write words that contain power. The moment he comes, it will be the beginning of the eternal glory of your Star Clan."

The name of the person who signed the signature was Luo Wen, and another person added a suffix to the name, "Prophet".

After reading it over and over again to make sure he had not read any word wrong, Green slowly closed the diary that had been passed down through the hands of successive Maple Leaf lords.

"My dear ancestors, the person predicted by Prophet Luo Wen has finally appeared. The glory of our Star Clan, which has been dim for nearly three thousand years, will shine again."

Lin Xingchen slept soundly. If he wasn't so hungry, he would probably have slept for a while.

The moment he woke up, the servants outside the gate started to get busy. After washing up, when Lin Xingchen walked into the dining room, his favorite steamed buns and rice porridge had already been prepared on the table.

Without caring about etiquette, Lin Xingchen finally filled his stomach after a hearty meal.

After dinner, he asked the servants and realized that he had slept for two whole days. He hurriedly found his grandfather Greenlin Xingchen and told him about his idea of ​​making some reforms in Maple Leaf Territory. He thought the old man would object, but he agreed so readily.

“Before your father comes back, you will always be the first heir to the Maple Leaf Territory and the Dukedom, and all of these will belong to you in the future.

So if you want to change it, that's your own business, don't worry that grandpa will object because grandpa will always support you. "

Lin Xingchen was deeply moved by such trust and support, and he proudly said in front of Green that he would create a Maple Leaf collar that would surprise everyone.

With Green's support, many things for Lin Xingchen became much simpler. With the goal of promoting the overall environment from small things, Lin Xingchen's first thing was to open up new land.

After waiting for half a month after the New Year, the ice and snow melted and the withered grass and vegetation were dried up by the sun.

After the fire for clearing the wasteland was started, Lin Xingchen immediately started recruiting people.

The first target was those who could not live a normal life because of the blizzard. These people were assigned to work in land reclamation. No one knew how the maple trees in Maple Leaf Territory grew. Some were as tall as a hundred meters and required more than a dozen people to hug them. There were countless such big trees in Maple Leaf Territory.

These large trees growing in the reclaimed areas were quickly felled, and their trunks were trimmed and placed in specially built large wooden houses to dry as wood for future needs.

The army of pioneers worked vigorously, and each of those who participated in the reclamation received a document signed by the lord, which confirmed that the land reclaimed by the pioneers would be cultivated by him, and they only needed to pay three layers of harvest as rent every year.

Originally, Lin Xingchen meant that the reclaimed land should belong to the pioneers, but this was strongly opposed by Green. He claimed that the territory was obtained by their ancestors with their lives and could not be given to them in this way. This was disrespectful to the ancestors.

After some discussion, Green finally agreed to lease the reclaimed land to these poor people who had nothing.

Originally, Lin Xingchen planned to directly cut down all the trees on several nearby mountains, but Green dissuaded him on the grounds that he hoped he could take it slow and not be in a hurry.

Later I thought about it and realized that it was indeed a prudent idea. After all, we were short of manpower and it was also a waste of manpower and material resources.

Due to time constraints, the reclaimed land was only about less than 3,000 acres. This speed made Lin Xingchen want to curse several times but he held back in the end.

A pioneering team of more than 5,000 people reclaimed these amounts without any large livestock. Although this was not a lot, Lin Xingchen had to accept it with a pinch of his nose.

Originally, he wanted to lend the war horses in the army to the pioneering team, but as soon as this was proposed, it was strongly opposed by the knights led by Luke Helen.

Even if Lin Xingchen said everything, these stubborn guys would rather die than obey, saying that a warhorse is a knight's second life.

As for the oxen used for plowing, Arnold said that no one in the entire kingdom used them. Even if there were cows, they were milk-producing cows and not used specifically for plowing the fields.

Lin Xingchen, who was getting anxious and irritated by the speed of land reclamation, finally found a solution in the space farm, but it was too late in the end and he could only wait for the next land reclamation.

Lin Xingchen has fully arranged the three thousand acres of land, planting one crop every five hundred acres to test yield and adaptability issues.

As high-quality crops, wheat, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and rice are the main force. Only by providing those who have not had enough to eat all year round with a stable supply of food can you make them believe what you say.

The remaining land was used to grow vegetables and other crops. In order to verify his idea, Lin Xingchen took the entire Duke's Castle as the center and planted various fruit trees around it, with grapes being the most popular.

From Lin Xingchen's observation of the living habits of those stubborn knights, wine is simply their third life, and that space farm happens to have the best quality grape seeds and grape seedlings.

These lands for growing grapes were reclaimed by Lin Xingchen and his servants. Under Lin Xingchen's reckless request, the servants could not refuse their master's request.

Ridge making, sowing, and growing seedlings, the whole process was orderly, all thanks to something called experience balls given by a hall master when he came here. After several glowing balls were crushed, Lin Xingchen felt that his mind had gained a lot of strange knowledge and experience.

After the entire spring plowing was completed, Lin Xingchen faced a new problem, which was the problem of water resources.
