Indeed, it was more profitable to plant radishes than to plant oiltrees. The profits of the two parties were not even on par. A season of radishes could be bought for 8000 gold coins, while the monthly gross output of an oiltree was only 2700 gold coins.

However, one shouldn’t forget that this time, the magicdare firm that Grimm had contacted was already one of the few large trading firms on the continent, and they could at most digest about 400000 pounds of radishes every month. They couldn’t afford any more. After all, for the people on the continent, a silver coin for a pound of radishes was still something that many people couldn’t afford.

In other words, Zhao Hai only needed to plant five seasons ‘worth of radishes every month and it would be enough for their monthly consumption. They wouldn’t be able to buy any more. Five seasons’ worth of radishes was just a matter of 40 hours to Zhao Hai, which was less than two days.

What should they plant in the remaining time? Using the space to grow the ordinary vegetables on the continent? Don’t even think about it. Once the vegetable seeds enter the space, they will be cleared out immediately. You have no way to plant them. Plant the vegetable seeds in the space? Zhao Hai still did not know which of these vegetables could be sold at a good price on the mainland. Even if those vegetables were like radishes, they were considered magical vegetables on the mainland. However, if there were no such vegetables on the mainland, it would take a certain amount of time for the people on the mainland to accept them. Moreover, the demand for these vegetables would not be large. It would be better to plant oil trees.

Cooking on the mainland required oil. In addition, Fruit Oil was very cheap. Ordinary people might not be able to afford meat, but they could definitely afford oil. Such families were often civilians who had to engage in heavy physical labor and needed more nutrients. Therefore, Fruit Oil became their first choice. The daily consumption of Fruit Oil on the mainland was an astronomical figure. Therefore, Fruit Oil was a sustainable industry, although the profit was not as much as radish. However, it would also make most of the nobles envious.

A monthly income of 2700 gold coins was a very shocking number. Even a small dukedom might not be able to collect so much in a month. It must be known that the purchasing power of gold coins on the mainland was still very shocking.

One gold coin could be exchanged for 10 silver coins, one silver coin for 100 copper coins, and one copper coin could buy 500 grams of Fruit Oil or 500 grams of rice.

Rice and oil were still very cheap on the mainland. Fruit Oil was because of its high production, while rice was usually eaten by slaves. Now, many commoners were eating rice.

For Zhao Hai and the others, their monthly living expenses were not much. Even if they gave the slaves good food every day, they only needed about 100 gold coins. They could have a net savings of 2600 gold coins.

Furthermore, they could still buy five seasons of radishes. Even if they could not get 8000 gold coins for each season, they could at least get 6000. Five seasons of radishes would be 30000 gold coins. In other words, Zhao Hai’s realm could generate a net profit of 32000 gold coins for them every month. This was an astonishing amount.

Of course, Zhao Hai was still not satisfied with this. He was used to radish’s ability to earn thousands of gold coins per season. After spending so much effort to earn only 2000 gold coins per month, Zhao Hai was not interested in it.

However, green was thinking this way. After he found out about the characteristics of the farm, he connected it to what Zhao Hai had asked him to find out. He understood Zhao Hai’s intention. Zhao Hai wanted the planting and farming industries to develop together.

The radish leaves could be used to feed the blue-eyed rabbit, but don’t forget that the blue-eyed rabbit couldn’t just eat the radish leaves. Sometimes, it also needed to add some ingredients, and the oil residue left from the oil fruit was one of the best fodder. When the time came, they would not only use the oil residue to feed the blue-eyed rabbit, but also some other magical beasts, which were more common than the horses and cattle on the continent.

The horses and cows that were fed with this kind of oil residue were very strong. So, as long as it was an oil-producing land, it would be a good place for producing horses. Although the horses produced by them were ordinary horses and not high-level magic beasts like the flame horse, the horses were very strong and very popular.

In addition, the oil residue could not only be used to feed magical beasts such as horses and cattle, but also some Water-type magical beasts liked to eat this kind of oil residue. This way, the fish-raising industry could also be established, and this additional industry could bring them huge profits.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Greem was so excited. He walked around the house a few times before stopping. He took two deep breaths and suddenly laughed out loud. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

Zhao Hai and the others understood why green was laughing. It was because green had been holding it in for too long. If Zhao Hai had felt great pressure ever since he woke up, green had always been under great pressure. He and Merlin had watched the Buda family go from glory to decline. They had thought that the Buda family would slowly die out from then on. If it were not for this thought, he would not have exchanged all the money in his hands for supplies.

Although Zhao Hai had changed for the better, green was still worried about the Buda family’s lack of a stable source of income. This was a fatal weakness for the family.

However, after understanding this space, all of Grimm’s worries disappeared at once. He felt that a sun had suddenly appeared in his dark life. A sun that was shining brightly, sweeping away the haze in his heart.

Zhao Hai and the others did not stop green. They knew that green needed to vent his anger. He was too happy.

After a while, green finally calmed down. He walked to Zhao Hai and said, &Quot; young master, after we get out, we will immediately send the molaila to the maqidle trading company. Then, we will use the money to buy some things that we need. Collect these oil fruits. Oil extraction requires machines, and we have to buy those things. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded, ” I know that. But Grandpa Grimm, we have a big problem to solve now. It is the magical beasts and the rotten corpse swamp. Even if we have a good plan, we can’t hide in this space forever. We still have to go out and develop our territory. But what if we are attacked by those magical beasts the moment we go out? what should we do? ”

Grimm calmed himself down. He frowned and stomped his feet in the room. He knew that Zhao Hai was right. All their plans were in vain. They were like bubbles in the air that would not disappear with the wind. If they were attacked by magical beasts as soon as they went out, they would not be able to protect themselves, let alone develop.

But how could he solve this problem? Although Grimm was confident in his skills, he knew that it was impossible for them to conquer the rotten corpse swamp. For so many years, countless experts had appeared on the continent, but the five Forbidden Lands were still the five Forbidden Lands. They had never been conquered by anyone. From this point, one could see the power of the five Forbidden Lands.

However, after walking around for a few rounds, Grimm could not come up with any good ideas. He sighed impatiently and sat down at the table. The ambition he had just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Zhao Hai was also at a loss as to what to do. The continent’s five great forbidden zones were notorious, and no one was confident of being able to escape unscathed. Besides, they were not going to enter the rotten corpse swamp, but the demonic beast’s attack was enough to make them feel extremely distressed. After all, they were still too weak.

Seeing Green’s depressed mood, Zhao Hai could only say, ” “Grandpa Green, you should tell us about the situation outside.” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at the screen. Zhao Hai’s eyes narrowed when he saw the green dot on the 3D map.

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

There weren’t many green dots on the screen, only a dozen or so, but they had just appeared without a doubt because the green dots had disappeared for two days.

Merlin and the rest were also staring at the screen. Meg said, ” “What’s going on? Why did these things appear again?”

&Quot; there’s nothing to be surprised about, ” Grimm said in a deep voice. &Quot; when I came to the castle, there were still many magical beasts and undead creatures wandering in the black wasteland. If it wasn’t for the fact that I couldn’t wait, I wouldn’t have taken the risk to rush in. Those things might have come after me. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded and tapped on the screen. The inner castle’s courtyard appeared on the screen once again. It was also the place with the most green dots. The scene on the screen changed to the courtyard with more than a dozen undead creatures.

That’s right, the screen was filled with undead creatures and no demonic beasts. Zhao Hai was stunned when he saw the situation. He remembered that it was the same two days ago. The last to leave the screen was not demonic beasts but undead creatures. What was going on?

Zhao Hai took a closer look at the screen and confirmed that his judgment was correct. He then said, ” “Grandpa Grimm, why are there undead creatures here? I also saw it two days ago. The undead creatures left in the end? What’s going on?”

Grimm did not speak, but Merlin said, ” &Quot; there’s nothing strange about that, young master. The undead creatures have a near-crazy desire for fresh flesh and blood. They can smell and feel the presence of living creatures in many places. When Grimm came to the castle from the blackearth wilderness, he was naturally discovered by the undead creatures. In this aspect, even magical beasts can’t compare to the undead creatures. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded and pulled the scene into the living room. There was also an undead creature wandering there. It was in the shape of a crocodile and was more than ten meters long. However, it was now just a skeleton. It was wagging its head and tail in the living room. Its bones glowed with a green light and looked very scary.
