When Lin Fan said, all the people present were in a state of excitement.

"Haha! The land here is barren land, and even a few grasses can't grow. What are we going to do? We can't even plant crops!"

A villager said coldly.

"Yes! The land here cannot grow crops, we want food! People from other provinces do not accept us, we have no place to go, do you want us to starve to death here?"

"The prefect who came here before, I left after a few days. You, Marquis Wu, can't live here for a few days. Be honest and hand over all the things out and get out!"

"Yes! We are not the kind of evil people who kill people. You can leave the food and leave. We only need food and will not hurt you!"

The people said one after another.

After hearing this, Lin Fan was not only not angry, but nodded instead. Under such harsh conditions, the people here still retain the most basic human nature, which is quite good.

However, he did not carry much food, which was enough for thousands of people to eat for two or three days. He also had to take advantage of this world to restore the main city.

However, seeing the conditions here are so poor, Lin Fan has a brand new idea, and he decided to double or five times the main city.

All the people were allowed to live in the main city. Anyway, there were not many people in Zhenzhou. By then, all the counties and other places would be converted into places where the army was stationed, and all the income would be counted as military supplies.

In this way, you can save a lot of land to improve the crops, because the main city will be safer if the army stationed in the county town.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan said: "The land here is not that it is impossible to plant grain, but that you have not found the right method. I have already made a clear idea when I came here. Within three days, I can plant grain."

"As for what you eat now, we can go out to sea to fish for a living along the coast!"

Most of the land in Zhenzhou is saline-alkali land, and there is very little land that can be planted and not fertile. This is why the people in Zhenzhou live in such poverty.

However, saline-alkali land could not be grown in ancient times, but in the 21st century, it could be improved through some means.

For example, mixing gypsum into the soil, or finding phosphite, grinding it into powder, and mixing it into the soil can change the pH value of the soil.

After neutralization, the soil can be planted. Of course, the fertility level is naturally not as good as other soils, and food can be grown.

"What are you talking about? The land here can really grow grain?"

A commoner asked.

"Of course, when I came here, I saw that Zhenzhou was mostly phosphite. If the phosphite was broken, ground into powder, and mixed into the soil, it could change the soil here and allow the soil here to grow grain."

"Of course, this can only make the grain grow. It is not as fertile as other soils. However, our Zhenzhou has few people and more land, so the grain is definitely enough."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

When the people heard that they could grind the phosphite into powder and mix it into the soil, they were half-doubted, but seeing Lin Fan's appearance did not seem to be a lie, so let's believe it for the time being.

"Okay! This problem of growing food has been solved. How do we solve the problem of fishing in the sea? We often have pirates here, and our ships have been destroyed, and there are no ships available!"

A commoner said.

"Well? Are all the ships destroyed?"

Lin Fan asked.

"Not that, we have the largest port here, with more than a hundred fishing boats in the port. However, these fishing boats are not ours, but belong to the Detian Chamber of Commerce. They sell fishing to us, and the price is twice as expensive as other states, and we can't afford it!"

The people complained.

"Yes, a fish costs fifty cents, but in other states, it costs about ten cents. Moreover, we often eat fish, so we can't stand it!"

"I often eat fish. Now I want to vomit when I see fish. How much I want to eat some vegetables or white noodles!"

Speaking of this, the people are about to cry.

"It turns out that you have a chamber of commerce here, so that's easy to deal with. I will discuss with the people of the Detian Chamber of Commerce. Let's do this. Now it's spring, you will go and polish the phosphorus powder and explore the land!"

"I will send an order to let people from all counties develop land. As long as you develop it, yours will be yours. When it comes to spring, I will find a way for you to find a way to deal with seeds."

Lin Fan said.

"Mr. Wuhou! You! You didn't lie to us!"

"Yes! We are worse than death now. Please don't lie to us!"

At this moment, all the people knelt down.

They placed all their hopes on Lin Fan. If Lin Fan deceived them again, they might completely lose the will to live.

"People, please believe what I said. Go and spread the matter of phosphite to various counties. In a few days, I will give you a seed that can grow vegetables."

Lin Fan said.

He thought of his tumbleweed. He could make tumbleweeds with internal strength, but the consumption was very large, so he could not make them for the people to eat.

However, seeds can be given to them. Tumbleweed grows quickly and rolls when the wind blows. The seeds can quickly sprinkle the earth and grow in saline-alkali land.

In this way, the people have an extra food, and this plant that is rampant in South America can only be reduced to food on the table.

"Mr. Wuhou, are you saying true?"

A commoner said happily.

"Of course it's true. You can go and reclaim the land first. In a few days, I will send someone to send you seeds. Also, I will go to Detian Chamber of Commerce and negotiate with them and ask them to sell the fish to you for ten cents."

Lin Fan said.

"Yes! Thank you Lord Wuhou!"

The people were immediately overjoyed.

They left the city lord's mansion excitedly and spread what Lin Fan said.

"Mr. Wuhou is the savior of our Zhenzhou! Mr. Wuhou has found a way to grow food!"

"Everyone hurry up and prepare phosphite, grind it into powder, and explore the land. Lord Lin said that the developed land is ours!"

The people shouted.

Lin Fan originally wanted to tell these people that they were not allowed to open up land within five miles of the city, but after thinking about it, they should let these people survive first.

Let’s find a way later. Next, we will go to the Detian Chamber of Commerce and negotiate with them about fishing. As for the pirates, they will not come every day.

"Are you sure that phosphite powder can allow the land to grow grain? Why have I never heard of it?"

After the people left, Dongfang Bubai stepped forward and asked.
