It had been about ten days since they arrived on Yatun Island.

The people of Yatun were now divided into three groups: the children entered school, the adults received military training, and some women went to supervise logging, as well as to learn domestic and culinary tasks.

The small animals of Yatun were also not idle.

With intelligence nearly indistinguishable from that of ordinary children, they enthusiastically participated in the care of livestock and did a very good job, often receiving praise and rewards from Bailuo.

As for Lilith, she had already done enough for the people of Yatun, so apart from the daily tasks of farming, sowing, and building, Lilith did not carry out more assignments.

Bailuo had to maintain and cultivate the initiative of the people of Yatun. They could not depend too much on the power of miracles.

Moreover, Lilith had more important work to do.

Lilith had to teach the girls to discover the Miracle Power within them and to awaken this power.

That was the grand plan for Yatun’s centennial!

If every witch trained were able to use Lilith’s magic, even if they could not compare to Lilith, it would be an unimaginable great help to Yatun and Bailuo.

Of course, there was that saying: nurturing the Miracle Power takes time; it did not happen quickly.

Additionally, there was good news: Bailuo had raised the Tree Elves

Descendants’ Miracle Power to 45%-

Perhaps in another month or so, Bailuo would be able to completely master this species.

By then, a group of Tree Elves awakened with Miracle Power would be terrifyingly powerful, and Bailuo felt they might even surpass the Yatun Clan.

But let’s not talk about those distant concerns; let’s discuss the immediate

ones.

For the upcoming pirate attack, the power of the Tree Elves’ Descendants was also crucial.

Bailuo was not worried about losing; he worried about people dying.

‘The population of Yatun is sparse; losing anyone is heartbreaking.

Bailuo would certainly take matters into his own hands, and with the power of Sherri and Lilith, unless Morgan himself came, those pirates would be killed no matter how many arrived.

“These pirates, they don’t know our situation, so they will certainly not inform Morgan.”

“And as long as I annihilate them, leaving no one alive,” Bailuo said, “we can delay them for a while longer.”

“How is the development of the farmland going now?

Lilith developed the farmland at a very fast pace; in just a few hours, she brought about 10,000 acres of farmland to Yatun Island.

If she worked for ten days, not to mention 10,000 acres, even 100,000 or 1,000,000 acres would be easy.

But considering ecological concerns, Bailuo did not let her continue developing. Because the amount of seeds required for one acre of land was really substantial.

For example, corn requires an average of 5 pounds of seeds per acre, and when it comes to potatoes, which are grown from tubers, you need a staggering 300 pounds per acre.

If the initial Sprout Holy Pouch could be enhanced once more, perhaps more seeds would be available.

But for now, Bailuo had a total of 6500 kilograms, or 13,000 pounds, of seeds. 1-8 kilograms per acre was the requirement for ordinary crops and fruit trees. Leaving potatoes aside, calculating with an average seed requirement of 5 pounds per acre, 13,000 pounds covered 2600 acres.

So relying solely on the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch to sow all the farmland at once was almost impossible.

Out of necessity, Bailuo had to plant an acre of potatoes, which used up 500 pounds.

This acre of potatoes was not for consumption but for breeding.

Once it yielded a harvest, one acre could plant ten, ten would become a hundred, then a thousand, and finally ten thousand acres.

All this would take about four seasons, around two years in time.

With ten thousand acres of potatoes, producing 8000 pounds per acre might be exaggerated, considering Yatun did not have that much fertilizer, but even so, halving that to 4000 pounds per acre would still yield 40 million pounds of food.

Moreover, that was just ten thousand acres; if Yatun Island were fully developed, there would be at least 600,000 to 800,000 acres, enough to feed several million people.

By then, it would be truly hard to imagine to what extent the population of Yatun would have to grow before worrying about a food shortage.

Of course, it was impossible to only grow potatoes.

Yatun was not in such dire need of food.

Therefore, only a portion of the land would be planted with potatoes, same with sweet potatoes, and the rest would have a more diverse range of crops.

For instance, in the grain category, Bailuo also cultivated more than 3000 acres.

“The seeds are somewhat insufficient.”

After a careful calculation, Bailuo realized the issue with seeds was indeed a significant pressure.

Fortunately, to Bailuo’s surprise, some crops required very little seed per acre.

For instance, rapeseed only needed 200 grams per acre.

And even less than rapeseed were tomatoes, requiring only 80 grams per acre.

Why even debate it?

Vegetable oil is an essential ingredient for cooking; of course, planting several tens of acres of it was the first step.

As for tomatoes, everyone likes to eat them; certainly plant plenty because they’re cheap!

Regarding the orchards, because of the slow land clearing, Bailuo was in no rush, so he planted one acre of fruit trees each time a new acre was cleared. She would uproot those stumps, level the ground, and transform it into an environment suitable for fruit tree cultivation.

But maintain the pace and don’t over-develop.

After all, if you clear the land but don’t have any seeds to plant fruit trees, that would be very awkward.

So in these ten days, the people of Yatun cleared over 500 acres of woodland. They planted apples, peaches, pears, tangerines, oranges, and more than fifty other types of fruit, ten acres for each type, very evenly distributed. However, some fruits required specific environmental conditions, such as desert dates and Hami melons.
