The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 529 529. The Story Behind the Fruit Tree

"How much budget do you have?" Seeing Luther lost in thought, Nanjo Aoi also realized something.

Although Luther said at the beginning to make the list according to the highest and optimal requirements, but after she made the list, according to her estimation, money is definitely a big problem.

The price of saplings is often divided according to the age of the seedlings. One-year and two-year-old ones are often quite cheap, but the higher the price, the three, four, and five basically double the price in one more year.

Not to mention that in order to plant gradually, it is best to buy some fruit trees that have entered the full fruiting period and transplant them.

"To tell you the truth, I don't have a penny." Luther smiled wryly, "My money has been sucked dry by this island."

Every word in the list in his hand is like a symbol of money in Luther's eyes.

"This list...about how much?" Luther asked hesitantly.

Aoi Nanjo didn't underestimate Luther because he had no money, and she hasn't flinched until now. This kind of persistence is enough for her to appreciate.

"I don't know." Aoi Nanjo sighed, "Let's put it this way, the price of saplings will vary according to the age of the seedlings, the degree of cultivation, the place of origin, and other reasons. Even if you open the website to find their prices now, you can only see part of them."

"As far as I know, the research institutes in the Sinnoh region conduct grafting experiments on various saplings every year, and there are as many as hundreds of new varieties bred. As a well-known elf school, Rainbow University has a major in agriculture, specializing in the study of food and fruit trees related to elves."

"The Kalos region has long been committed to cultivating the fruits that humans and elves like to eat. There are three kinds of research results from the Kalos region's universities on this list. These results were improved and accumulated by Carlos for more than ten years. They were only put on the market three years ago. For example, sweet cherry fruit is very expensive, but it is a great fruit tree."

"I may need to go to Binhai City and Yangxin City to learn about the latest information and market conditions before I can give you an answer, but I can say a conservative expectation..."

Aoi Nanjo took a deep breath: "The 600 trees need at least [-] million. This is because I counted the seedling age as low as possible. You need to be mentally prepared, and the final result will only be a lot more."

Even a person like Mira who has no concept of money trembled.

Luther and Mai looked at each other, [-] trees were close to one-fifth of Lily of the Valley East Island.

Good guy...it's not burning money, it's melting.

Luther gritted his teeth: "You are a professional, so I leave it to you to decide."

As soon as these words came out, it meant that Luther's 600 million yuan was melted down.

However, this was for the wild elves on the island, so Luther had to do it no matter how distressed he was.

Aoi Nanjo walked up to Luther and held out her hand: "As long as you have the determination, I will help you unconditionally, no matter how hard or tired you are. I want to see what this island will look like after success."

Luther held Nanjo Aoi's hand and solemnly promised: "I can't give you a salary that matches your status and ability, but you can choose a piece of land you like, and you will definitely not regret it in the future."

"Then I'm serious, I will definitely choose this land." Aoi Nanjo smiled, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and the power station will ask Yuzu to give me a second look, but I heard that the people from the alliance will come back to expand tomorrow, and there should be no problem."

After some chatting, Aoi Nanjo and Joey left one after another, leaving Luther staring at the list in a daze.

Luther checked the information of these fruit trees with his mobile phone, and it was similar to what Aoi Nanjo said. Most of the fruit trees were improved varieties after long-term cultivation.

Even the common fruit trees in nature, such as pomelo and lumuguo, have undergone key researches by universities in various places to explore the possibility of improvement.

It can make the elves replenish their status, and the berries as food are being studied by various universities.

In ancient times, production capacity was low, and many conflicts between humans and wild elves stemmed from survival resources, and food was the top priority.

During the decades of rapid development of elf science, scholars have conducted countless studies, selected species, and cultivated the fruit that elves mainly eat, and then observed the differences from the original species over a long period of time to determine the route and continue to improve.

After experiencing countless failures, the fruits on the list came to this world.

This is the case with the red ink pear tree on the list.

It is a fruit tree with extremely tenacious viability. It can survive in almost all climates except extreme drought and extreme cold. It is easy to survive and has a large amount of fruit.

Although the disadvantage is that the flesh is not very delicious, both elves and humans will feel a little dry and taste astringent, but it is indeed food.

And a prerequisite for the research and improvement of this kind of fruit tree is to plant it in an area where wild elves are active.

The red ink pear is a gift from humans to wild elves, and it is also an apology.

During the period of rapid development of human beings, they will always come into contact with and conflict with the living areas of wild elves.With the expansion of human territory, the living area of ​​​​the wild elves will also be compressed, and fierce internal struggles between them will begin.

This is the focus that Rainbow University has been cultivating since 20 years ago, and it was not until four years ago that it came to fruition.

And the first news that Luther found was that the academic alliance used special funds to widely plant red ink pears in areas that had been over-cultivated by humans, and called on all regions to act together.

The proposal has already been responded by major leagues.

Rainbow University even released all the information on the cultivation of red ink pears, calling on scholars from all regions to continue to promote cultivation and determine the next improvement route.

People of insight in this world have always known that humans and elves are in a symbiotic relationship.

When human beings hurt the wild elves due to development, they will quickly find a way to make up for it, and work hard to improve the living conditions of the wild elves.

It's hard to understand, how come Sist, who has been one of the top layers of the world for a long time, and Zi Shan, can't understand this truth after living for so long?

What fun is there in enslaving elves?
Just for your own desire to control?
Sure enough, mentally handicapped and lunatics can't guess their minds.

Nanjo Aoi set off early in the morning, and she, who was trusted by Luther, had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders for the wild elves on the island.

This responsibility even made her work hard to overcome her weakness of not being good at communicating with people, and rushed to Binhai City, a coastal city, to learn about the progress of fruit tree research in various regions without relying on anyone's help.

Luther wasn't idle either, and it was impossible to fish now. He was a man in debt of 4000 million. If he didn't make money to pay back the debt, he would never have the chance to fish in his life.

"Huh? Is there a place similar to a commissioned agency?" Sirona was dumbfounded, "What do you want?"

Eating cream cake and drinking soda, Sirona, who was lazily lying on the recliner, froze for a while before realizing that Luther was planning to take on the task to make money.

She laughed so hard that she almost spit out the brioche from her mouth.

Is this question so funny?

"I'm sorry, sorry, I can't help it." Although Sirona said so, she still couldn't help laughing a few more times.

Wiping her mouth clean, Sirona suppressed a smile and said, "You know, you are probably the worst one among the winners of the Lily of the Valley Conference."

"The winner of the dignified Lily of the Valley Conference went to pick up the tasks posted by others to exchange for money to quench their thirst, ouch... Wait a minute, I still want to laugh." Sirona felt her stomach hurt.

　Before officially writing the plot of buying fruit trees, I went to the suburbs and asked professional fruit farmers a lot of related questions.Finally, I found that fruit tree transplantation and cultivation are really not as simple as imagined.There are really only a few cases where it can bear fruit after being bought and planted, and most of them may depend on the sky and people's food.Therefore, I hope that everyone will not argue about some settings about fruit trees in the later stage, and just assume that scholars in the Pokémon world have black technology in cultivation.Because if I write completely and in detail according to the actual way of cultivating fruit, even if I only write part of it, it will be very boring.For the sake of the coherence of the plot, I can only omit it, please understand.Finally, thanks to all the real-world academics and students of the agricultural college who are constantly working to improve crops so that we can eat a variety of delicious food.Really, only by knowing it for yourself can you know how difficult these people are.
