Chapter 77 Harvest and Eagle Vision over the Hanhe Basin
That was the right thing to do.

Wow!
Wow!
As expected of you!!
The future high priest.
Due to the impact of the Holy War, all the priests in Lynn were promoted to higher ranks.
Fighting holy wars allows high-ranking members to level up, which is why those church members are so enthusiastic about holy wars.
To give Vera a little more time to regret her decision, Lynn made a decisive strategic move immediately after saying goodbye to Leah.
To avoid being caught by Vera.
The night was deep, and the moon and stars were few.
He woke up Fatty, who was drooling, and General Chongtian, who was sleeping soundly, and then quietly left Silver Dew Village.
A cool night breeze swept through the treetops.
"Boss, why are we running?" Fatty rubbed his sleepy eyes, flapping his little wings and trying to keep up with Lynn's pace.
"I'll take you to see the production and construction," Lynn said succinctly, but a playful smile played on his lips.
General Chongtian, however, was full of energy, his small eyes darting around: "Based on my experience reading so many novels, Boss is just running away from his emotional debts!"
"Boss, this is your fault. You've provoked..."
Its words were interrupted by Lynn flicking his finger against its beak: "You talk too much."
Riding on the Sky-Soaring General, they arrived at Rain and Dew Valley—the new home of the Mushroom Roaring Tribe.
Rain Valley looked completely different from when he last left.
The once somewhat messy valley has been neatly organized, and the air is filled with the moist scent of soil and the unique fragrance of mushrooms.
In the center of the valley, the stream named Yulu River is crystal clear, and neat wooden boardwalks and water-fetching platforms have been built along its banks.
The figures of the puffies busily moved among the mushrooms.
After Lynn taught him breathing techniques and meditation.
Some of the larger Pokémon have even learned simple druidic spells and are carefully casting a growth blessing on a newly transplanted spice field.
Thriving and full of vitality.
"Prophet! You've arrived!" a joyful voice called out.
Lynn turned his head and saw the elven scholar Ivital walking out of a special area enclosed by a wooden fence.
She wore a simple druidic robe that allowed for easy movement, her silver hair was neatly tied in a bun at the back of her head, and she held a bark tablet covered with data in her hand, but her eyes were bright and focused.
Seeing the bark paper, Lynn sighed.
Oh dear, it's time to make paper.
After all this time, they're still using tree bark.
However, he smiled and nodded first: "Ivital, thank you for your hard work."
Then, his gaze fell on the area behind her: "Is this the Druid rotation experimental field?"
"Yes, Prophet!" Ivital immediately began reporting, leading Lynn into the experimental field area.
The area is divided into dozens of neat little squares, each planted with different crops.
There are subtle differences in soil color, humidity, and even magical fluctuations.
"Based on this period of practice and data recording,"
"We have initially mastered the ability of druids of different levels to maintain a balance between Rapid Growth and Elemental Nourishment for sustainable operation."
Ivital pointed to the charts on the bark board, speaking clearly and quickly.
"A mid-level druid can stably maintain a rapid production cycle of about six hundred acres of ordinary spice fields without overdrawing on natural elements."
"These common spices include varieties with short growth cycles and low magical requirements, such as scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, cardamom, and cilantro."
She pointed to a thriving ginger field, where the emerald green ginger seedlings swayed in the breeze: "Like this ginger field, the growth cycle has been compressed to one-third of the original, and the quality is stable."
"As for intermediate spices like pepper and cloves, they require a certain magical environment to develop their unique flavor."
"A mid-level druid can only meticulously tend to about six acres to ensure that the quality does not decline."
Ivital walked to another area shrouded in a faint magical aura.
Finally, she arrived at the most central small plot of land in the experimental field.
There are three kinds of plants here.
One is a short tree that exudes a unique woody fragrance—agarwood.
One is a cinnamon seedling, a tree with curled bark and a spicy aroma.
There is also a magic herb with small purple flowers—this is the ingredient for making Moon Dew Wine.
The magical fluctuations in this area are significantly stronger.
"High-grade spices and magical crops have extremely high requirements for the environment and druids."
"A high-level druid can currently only maintain a maximum of three acres of such land, and needs to rest and recover regularly, unlike low- or medium-level land where crop rotation is almost uninterrupted."
Ivital's tone became much more serious.
She closed the bark board and concluded, "Overall, this technology has enormous potential for agricultural production."
"If the Sky Ancient Tree District has enough flat arable land, relying on the power of the druids, achieving food self-sufficiency or even a large surplus is not a problem at all."
"only……"
Ivital paused, a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Near our Silverdew settlement, there are mountains, forests, and valleys, but there is very little flat land suitable for large-scale druidic magical cultivation."
"Farmland..." Lynn repeated the two words softly, his gaze lingering beyond the Rain Valley, as if piercing through layers of mountains.
If we were to pinpoint the location within the entire Sky Dome Ancient Tree Area that possesses the most expansive, fertile, and suitable land for large-scale agricultural production…
A name naturally came to mind—the Hanhe Basin.
That is the northwestern edge of the Sky Dome Ancient Tree Area, a vast alluvial plain surrounded by the Iron Mountain Range and the Da Cang Mountain Range.
South of the Dacang Mountains.
That was the Kingdom of Abundance.
The Hanhe River (also known as the Maosha River) and its several tributaries nourish the entire Hanhe Basin like veins in a leaf, bringing fertile silt rich in minerals.
The 50,000 square kilometers of flat, fertile land enjoys abundant sunshine and plentiful water resources.
Based on Lynn's knowledge from his previous life, a rough estimate suggests that, given the agricultural production level of ancient China in the mid-period, such a plain could more than support five to six million people.
In this world, thanks to superior natural conditions and the application of low-level magic, approximately eight million humans currently live on the entire Hanhe Plain.
These humans belong to two human principalities that are constantly at odds along their border, as well as the Iron Mountain Fortress, which holds a superior position and guards the Iron Mountain Pass.
These two duchies, along with Iron Mountain Fortress, each have at least one king-level powerhouse in charge—which is not considered weak among human kingdoms.
However, compared to the Silver Dew Settlement, which possesses Emperor-level combat power, it is clearly not enough.
Lynn's fingers unconsciously traced the grain of the wooden table beside him.
The Hanhe Basin... is a granary bestowed by heaven.
However, no statement was made.
Lynn needs a miracle, he needs a prophecy.
Let him be able to...
In the name of the Prophet, rule over the Han River.
Then.
Lynn wrote two proverbs on the table.
The Great Chu Dynasty rose, and Chen Sheng became king.
[Open the city gates, welcome the rebel king! With the rebel king here, there will be no more taxes!]
