Planting radishes is indeed more profitable than growing oil fruit trees, and the profits of both parties are not even legitimate. Radishes can be bought for 8000 gold coins per season, while the total monthly output value of oil fruit trees is only 2700 gold coins.

But don't forget, the Machidel Trading Company that Green contacted this time is already one of the few large trading companies on the mainland, and they can only digest about 400000 pounds of carrots per month at most. More is not enough, after all, for people on the mainland, one silver coin per pound of carrots is still unaffordable for many.

That is to say, in the future, as long as Zhao Hai plants five seasons of radishes every month, it will be enough for them to consume for a month. If they plant too many, they will not be able to buy them. And for Zhao Hai, five seasons of radishes takes forty hours, less than two days.

So what do they plant in the remaining time? What are the common vegetables grown in space on the mainland? Don't worry, as soon as those vegetable seeds enter the space, they will be immediately cleared out. You have no way to plant them. Plant vegetable seeds in the space? Now Zhao Hai doesn't know which vegetables can be bought at a good price on the mainland. Even if those vegetables are like radishes, they are some magical vegetables on the mainland. However, if these vegetables are not available on the mainland, it will take some time for people to accept them, and the demand will not be high. It would be better to plant oil fruit trees.

Cooking on the mainland requires oil, and with the addition of fruit oil, it is very cheap. Ordinary people may not be able to afford meat, but they can definitely afford oil. However, such families are often commoners who have to engage in heavy physical labor and need more nutrition, so fruit oil has become the first choice. The daily consumption of fruit oil on the mainland is astronomical, so fruit oil is a sustainable industry. Although it does not benefit as much as carrots, it also makes most nobles envious.

The monthly income of 2700 foreign gold coins is a very astonishing figure. Even a small principality may not have such a high monthly tax revenue. It should be noted that the purchasing power of gold coins on the mainland is still quite astonishing.

One gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins, and one copper coin can buy one pound of fruit oil or half a pound of rice.

Rice and oil are still very cheap on the mainland. Fruit oil is produced in high quantities, while rice is usually eaten by slaves. Nowadays, many civilians are also eating rice.

Like Zhao Hai and his group of over a hundred people, their monthly living expenses are actually not much. Even if they provide good food for those slaves every day, about 100 gold coins are enough, and they can have a net surplus of 2600 gold coins.

And don't forget, they can also buy five seasons of carrots. Even if they can't buy eight thousand gold coins per season, they can still buy six thousand. Five seasons is equivalent to thirty thousand gold coins. In other words, Zhao Hai's space can create a net profit of thirty-two thousand gold coins for them every month, which is amazing.

Of course, in Zhao Hai's opinion, he was not very satisfied with this. He was used to being a big spender who could buy thousands of gold coins a season with radishes. However, seeing how hard it took him to get more than 2000 gold coins of oil fruits in a month, Zhao Hai naturally couldn't muster much interest.

But Green thought the same way. After learning about the characteristics of the farm, he immediately understood what Zhao Hai had asked him to inquire about before. Zhao Hai wanted the planting and breeding industries to develop together.

Carrots can be fed with radish leaves, which can be used to feed blue eyed rabbits. However, don't forget that eating radish leaves alone is not enough for blue eyed rabbits. Sometimes, they also need to add some feed, and the oil residue left after oil extraction from oil fruits is one of the best feeds. When the time comes, they can not only use oil residue to feed blue eyed rabbits, but also raise other monsters, compared to the most common horses and cows on the mainland.

The horses and cows fed with this oil residue are very strong, so as long as they are oil producing areas, they are generally good horse producing areas. Although they produce some ordinary horses, not advanced beasts such as Flame Horses, those horses are very strong and popular.

Adding oil residue can not only be used to feed monsters such as horses and cows, but even some aquatic monsters love to eat this kind of oil residue. This way, the fish farming industry can also be established, and this additional industry can bring them huge profits.

It was precisely because of these ideas that Green was so excited. He circled around the room several times before stopping, took two deep breaths, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Zhao Hai and the others understand why Green is laughing so much, because Green has been holding back for too long. If Zhao Hai feels a lot of pressure after waking up, then Green's pressure has always been great. He and Merlin watched the Buda family go from glory to decline, and they thought the Buda family would slowly disappear from then on. If it weren't for this idea, he wouldn't have been able to exchange all the money in his hand for supplies.

Although Zhao Hai improved later, Green was still very worried at that time because the Buda family did not have a stable source of income, which was a fatal weakness for the Buda family.

But after learning about this space, all Green's worries disappeared instantly. He felt a sun suddenly appear in his originally dark life, a shining sun that swept away the gloom in his heart. Zhao Hai and the others didn't go to stop Green. They knew Green needed to vent, and he was too happy.

After a while, Green finally calmed down and walked up to Zhao Hai, saying, "Young master, as soon as we go out, we'll go and deliver the magic rice to the Maqidel Trading Company, and then use that money to buy some things we need. We need machines to collect these oil fruits and extract oil, and we have to buy those things

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I know, but Grandpa Green, we have the biggest problem we need to solve now, which is the monsters and zombie swamp outside. Even if we plan well, we cannot hide in this space for the rest of our lives. We still need to go out and develop our territory. But if we encounter attacks from those monsters as soon as we go out, what should we do

Green calmed down for a moment. He frowned and kept stamping in the room, because he was very clear that Zhao Hai was right. Now all their plans are empty, like foam in the air. The wind will not disappear without a trace. If they will be attacked by Warcraft as soon as they go out, they should not say that they have developed, for fear that self-protection is impossible.

But how can this problem be solved? There's no solution at all. Although Green has confidence in his skills, he understands that they can't conquer the Rotten Corpse Swamp. After so many years, there have been countless strong people on the continent, but the Five Forbidden Areas are still the Five Forbidden Areas. They have never been conquered before, which shows the power of the Five Forbidden Areas.

But after walking several laps, Green had no good idea. He sighed impatiently and sat down at the table, his ambition disappearing without a trace in that moment.

Zhao Hai is currently at a loss for solutions to this situation. The five forbidden areas on the mainland are notorious for their ferocity, and no one can confidently claim to be able to escape unscathed. While they may be saying that they are not going to enter the Rotten Corpse Swamp, their attacks alone are causing them great distress, as their current strength is too weak.

As soon as he saw that Green's emotions were somewhat low, Zhao Hai could only speak up: "Grandpa Green, why don't you tell us about the situation outside?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the screen. At this moment, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but shrink because he could clearly see that a green dot appeared on the 3D image on the screen.

Zhao Hai immediately stood up and walked to the screen. Green and the others also noticed Zhao Hai's movements. Zhao Hai did not immediately look at the situation in the castle, but carefully counted the green dots on the screen.

There are not many green dots on the screen, only a dozen or so, but undoubtedly, they have just appeared because the green dots on the screen have disappeared for two days.

Merlin and the others also stared closely at the screen, and Meg asked, "What's going on? Why are these things appearing again

The most new and small to say in the book of ⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥\886!

Green said in a deep voice, "There's nothing surprising. When I came to the castle, there were still many monsters and undead creatures wandering on the black soil wasteland. If I hadn't been too impatient, I wouldn't have risked rushing in. Those things might have chased me in

Zhao Hai nodded and tapped the screen. The courtyard of the inner castle appeared on the screen once, which was also the place with the most green dots. The scene on the screen shifted to the courtyard, and more than ten undead creatures appeared on the screen.

Yes, all the creatures appearing on the screen are undead, not Warcraft. Zhao Hai couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this situation. He remembered the same thing a few days ago. The last thing to leave the screen was not Warcraft, but undead creatures. What's going on?

Zhao Hai carefully glanced at the screen and confirmed that his judgment was correct before speaking up, "Grandpa Green, why are all the undead creatures here? And I also saw them a few days ago, and the ones who left in the end were also those undead creatures? What's going on

Green didn't say a word, but Merlin said, "There's nothing strange about it, young master. Undead creatures have an almost crazy desire for fresh flesh and blood from living beings. They can smell the scent of creatures in many places and feel their presence. As soon as Green ran from the black soil wasteland to the castle, naturally those undead creatures would also discover it. In this regard, Warcraft cannot compare to those undead creatures

Zhao Hai nodded and pulled the scene into the living room, where there was also an undead creature wandering. This undead creature was in the shape of a crocodile, about ten meters long, but now only had a bone rack left. It was swaying its head and tail in the living room, with green glowing bones all over it, looking very cautious.
