First of all, if there are more people in the future, but no one is engaged in agricultural production, what will all these people do? If there is no extra work for them to do, are they really being supported in vain?
Therefore, we must always leave some jobs for future generations so that they can be self-reliant, lest they become parasites by becoming accustomed to the habit.
Secondly, it is not appropriate to continue to implement the distribution system like this. It is okay when there are few people now, but when there are more people in the future, the distribution process alone will require a lot of manpower.
It would be better to let the new immigrants be self-sufficient, so that they have jobs and their own food, and Su Mo doesn't have to bother to manage them.
Moreover, as the saying goes, if you have enough food at home, you will not be worried.
When people have food security, they can better unleash their productivity and do other things without worries.
Just like Su Mo's various actions recently, to a certain extent, it was precisely because of the large amount of stored grain that gave Su Mo the confidence to dare to mobilize so many people to do other things, even to take a long winter holiday.
short, it is necessary to experiment and study ways to get others to farm.
Of course, Su Mo was not worried about not being able to grow it, after all, it was successful in the original book.
The reason for conducting this experiment was mainly because Su Mo wanted to understand the yield and maturity time of those self-saved seeds.
Only after understanding the situation can we arrange for the new immigrants to farm. Otherwise, if there is no plan, there may be all kinds of problems.
Take advantage of the time now to experiment and optimize farming techniques and processes. It will be much easier when the time comes. Anyway, you are free now, so just consider it as making preparations in advance.
Tia is now mainly responsible for this project.
But today, there will be more crops in the experimental fields.
Well, these are the fine breeds unique to the world of One Piece that I bought from Robin yesterday.

Chapter 210 Experimental Field, Dragon Attack
In the experimental field greenhouse, the arable land is neatly divided into many small plots of about ten square meters, and there is a pillar similar to a podium in front of each experimental field.
This is the control console of the magic environment simulation system, through which the climate simulation of the corresponding test field can be controlled.
Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, sunny or rainy, even some extreme weather can be simulated.
This system was created by Su Mo after the Infinite Magic Furnace was put into operation. After all, there was no reason not to use such convenient magic.
But it’s not like this kind of magic didn’t exist before.
In fact, Su Mo had already acquired this kind of magic, which came from the inheritance of the Harry Potter world.
This is the magic that Newt (the protagonist of Fantastic Beasts) uses to create the environment for various animals in his suitcase. This magic is part of Dumbledore's heritage.
Previously, it was not used on such a large scale due to the problem of magic power supply.
Now that the supply of magic power is almost unlimited, it is natural to use it.
Even the barrier of the Dimension City has the function of simulating weather, which can simulate the internal climate of the Dimension City 19, such as four seasons like spring.
However, in order to distinguish the four seasons, the climate simulation of the barrier is generally not used. It is only used when encountering extreme weather and to avoid some natural disasters.
At this time, Su Mo was taking Tia to walk among some experimental fields where crops were already planted. He stopped from time to time to check the growth of various crops through the control console.
Half of these experimental fields were planted with fortified wheat and rice, as well as various vegetables and fruits, while the other half were planted with corresponding ordinary seeds found from the world of Apocalypse.
The reason why there are ordinary seeds is also due to experimental needs.
Mainly, Su Mo wanted to know whether any changes would occur if ordinary seeds were sown in the fields that he had cultivated with the universal tool.
only……
"So far, it seems that there is no difference except that the growth rate is slightly faster."
After reading it, Su Mo couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment.
"It's not ripe yet. Maybe when it matures, the food it produces will have some effect," Tia said with a smile to comfort her.
"Hopefully."
Su Mo didn't worry too much about it. After all, it didn't matter whether the things produced by ordinary seeds had special effects or not.
After this experiment, he has made a good discovery.
At least he knew that the fields reclaimed with the universal tool could accelerate the growth of crops.
Although the time saved is not much compared to the one-stop service of universal tools such as land reclamation, sowing, and watering, it is probably only about half the time.
But it is already quite good, which is equivalent to doubling the annual output. As long as the seeds are not too bad, we can have a good harvest every year.
Immediately, Su Mo turned around and came to the experimental field of enhanced (ingredient) seeds. The growth here was visibly faster.
"Is it because of the seeds? Can enhanced food ingredients have this effect?"
Su Mo just found out about this.
"It should be." Tia nodded and pointed to two experimental fields in the distance.
These two adjacent fields show two different scenes. One is full of vitality and greenery, while the other is barren and lifeless.
"The seeds of enhanced ingredients can grow normally in land that is not cultivated by universal tools, and their vitality is very strong."
"On the other hand, ordinary seeds are no good. The soil in the Death Forest is too bad. They won't germinate after being planted. Even now, the seeds have rotted."
The soil in the Death Forest is extremely bad, mainly because of the thick layer of salt soil underground.
Unless the roots are more developed than the above-ground parts like the big trees in the forest and can directly penetrate the salt soil layer to obtain nutrients, even if they sprout, they will not grow well and will wither within a few days.
This is also part of the origin of the name Death Forest, because except for powerful monsters, this place is a complete death zone for the people in this world.
Otherwise, with the war-torn environment of this world that has lasted for hundreds of years, such a piece of pure land that is not disturbed by war would have been settled by a large number of refugees long ago, and there would be no chance for Su Mo to occupy it.
It is precisely because in this forest, only the land that has been reclaimed and transformed into fertile land by the universal tool can develop agriculture that Su Mo can settle here.
After checking these, Su Mo brought Tia to the vacant experimental field, took out the seeds he had traded from Robin yesterday, and started sowing them.
Well, we use ordinary farm tools and plant the seeds in a test field.
"For now, you just need to observe these crops, record them and make a report. After I learn more about them, I will personally use the universal tool to plant another batch and try to see if I can turn them into enhanced ingredients."
While farming, Su Mo also told Tia about his plans.
"Is that so? I understand."
Tia nodded to show that she understood.
Because there were not many seeds and not many varieties, the two of them worked together to finish planting quickly.
After dealing with these, Su Mo took Tia out of the experimental field greenhouse.
With the magical environmental simulation system, the growth of crops does not require constant attention.
Just as Su Mo began to think about what to do next, he heard Tia beside him suddenly exclaim.
"Huh? What's that in the sky?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo subconsciously looked up and indeed found a small black dot in the distant sky.
Seeing the black spot growing bigger and bigger, Su Mo couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Here we are? Could it be the freeloader from next door?"
Su Mo thought of a neighbor he had never met in the southern mountains of the Death Forest, and thought that the neighbor was also going to show up early.
But when the black spot on the horizon grew bigger and bigger, Su Mo could see clearly what it was and immediately realized that he was overthinking.
The dragon is indeed a dragon, but it is not a giant dragon, but a two-legged flying dragon (wrong class).
Although it is also a dragon, it is very powerful, and even Tia and Lulusi are afraid of it.
But the wyvern is not a true member of the dragon family, but a beast similar to a monster.
The most obvious difference is that, as the name suggests, the wyvern has only two legs, and its forelimbs are fleshy wings similar to those of bats and pterosaurs, while the dragon has four limbs, and its wings grow alone on its back.
But it seems that this flying dragon has bad intentions.
"Husband, it looks like it's coming to attack us."
Tia also saw clearly that it was a pterosaur, and her expression became a little subtle.
If it were in the past, she would definitely be nervous when faced with an attack from a wyvern.
But now...
Tia, who fully understood how powerful the Dimension City was, was not nervous at all and even felt like laughing.
Wyvern? Are you sure it's not here to get killed?
How desperate must one be to attack the Dimension City?
Given the strength of the Dimension City, any one of the top strong men can kill it in seconds.
Furthermore, there is a powerful protective barrier covering it, so there is no need to worry about it causing any damage.
…To be continued….
Chapter 211 Su Mo’s suspicion, Tia: Let me do it!
"What's wrong with it?"
Su Mo was not nervous about the attacking flying dragon. After all, he was the one who could kill a flying dragon in an instant as described by Tia. But he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He remembered that there was a similar scene in the original novel of "The Leisurely Farmer".
But that was the summer of the following year, and now it has happened earlier.
It doesn't matter if it happens earlier. After all, since he established the Dimension City, a butterfly effect has been set off in this world, and many events have happened earlier.
For example, the arrival of the elf girls, the arrival of Lulusi, the ghost maid and Flora, and the most recent one is Tia.
They all appeared much earlier and the order was messed up, so there is nothing to be confused about at this point.
What really puzzled Su Mo was why this flying dragon wanted to attack the dimensional city.
"It seems that the original book doesn't give an answer, but I can only guess that it might be due to madness or a spur of the moment reason."
Su Mo suddenly felt that this matter was a bit strange.
After all, even if the wyvern really went crazy, it wouldn't be able to target the Dimension City so accurately, right?
If he just went crazy and wanted to fight and cause trouble, there were a lot of powerful monsters in the Death Forest, and with so many choices to choose from, how come he happened to choose the Dimension City?
"Could it be that someone deliberately instigated this?" Su Mo secretly guessed in his heart.
"Is this a test from Draim?"
Thinking of the action in the original book where the freeloader dragon immediately came over to apologize after the flying dragon attacked, Su Mo felt that there might be some connection here.
Otherwise, Drem's reaction would be a bit exaggerated.
Although the flying dragon is under his jurisdiction, it is just an animal, and the relationship between the two is similar to that between a sheep and its shepherd.
And Delem's reaction was as if his lost sheep ran into someone else's field and trampled on some crops, and was eventually slaughtered and eaten.
After knowing this, he, a shepherd, actually went to the house humbly to give gifts and apologize. This reaction was so inappropriate no matter how you looked at it.
Although the main reason for the apology was because when killing the flying dragon, Drem saw the opponent's strength and realized that the opponent was someone he could not afford to offend, so he hurriedly stepped forward to clear up the misunderstanding.
But this wave of apologies gave people a somewhat guilty feeling, at least that's how Su Mo felt.
At the same time, the reason given for the apology was only management negligence, and no explanation was given as to why Feilong did so.
This is a bit like putting the blame on temporary workers, making a big deal out of a small matter, and a small matter out of nothing. It makes people feel even more suspicious, doesn't it?
But soon, Su Mo realized that he was overthinking again.
Because behind the flying dragon, another black dot appeared and chased after it at a faster speed.
"Ah~!! '々!"
This time it's a real dragon.
The giant dragon let out a roar that resounded through the sky. The flying dragon in front of it froze instantly, even forgetting to flap its wings. It fell straight down from the air due to weightlessness and landed heavily in the forest.
boom!
Then, the giant dragon swooped down and picked up the flying dragon, which had been knocked unconscious, like dragging a dead dog.
As if it had sensed the gaze from the dimensional city, the giant dragon picked up the flying dragon, nodded in the direction of the dimensional city, and then turned and left.
Su Mo, who witnessed this process, couldn't help but scratch his nose in embarrassment: "Well, it seems that I misunderstood him."
He had to admit that Delem might not have such bad intentions. The reason why the reaction in the original book was so big was simply because he was a coward.
At this time, the girls who heard the noise came out to check the situation. Even the city guards rushed out and began to be alert nervously.
