Chapter 7

then later he decided to meet go towards Village chief’s house for buying land, discussing about the problem of low yields in the village and then visit a craftsman working on wood to make him a house and other required things .

And hence he headed towards Village chief’s house after dealing with the workings of Rose soap factory .

After arriving at the Village Chief’s home there were villagers discussing with him on how to solve the Yield problem .

Chief’s 3 children invited him in when they saw him come here . They had already met him earlier when he had visited .

they were aged 6, 7 and 8 respectively . The two boys were 6 and 7 and the girl was 8 and their names were Sonny, mark, and Jennifer respectively .

After waiting for a while he got to meet Sam after the villager’s had left .

John then said to Sam "It seems you have quite a headache this time around"

"Don’t say, this problem always comes every 5-10 years down the road . It is just nature’s cycle which it can’t be helped . Dealing with this mess is always a problem for most of the village Chiefs . "

"Actually if you don’t mind then I have a perfect solution for this problem if you want to know," John said in a serious manner to Sam .

This Time Sam didn’t look surprised as he got used to John and he had already heard from Grandma Melanie’s bragging that she got a genius this time around to whom she can pass on her techniques .

She also mentioned if possible she would just marry of her grand-granddaughter to him so then she would have no qualms in her life .

Of course, Sam didn’t divulge this information to John or this might create many misunderstandings between all the parties .

"you see the land over here in this village has become infertile because you guys Sow the same type of seeds on the land over the years which would deplete the soil from a certain type of ingredients and hence becoming infertile because of using the same crop"

"To combat this problem you guys should institute the four crop rotation method which would always keep the soil fresh because of rotation of crops and balancing the nutrients taken from the soil each time . The sequence of four crops (wheat, turnips, barley, and clover), including a fodder crop and a grazing crop, will allow livestock to be bred year-round would be very beneficial for farming here . "

"Plus you guys should make use of the fertilizers from Animal excretion, dead plants, leaves and forest soil which would re-energize the soil for nutrients . You see the things living being eat and excrete have nutrients which is useful for soil so you guys should use this method to improve the yields, anyways it would be better than nothing and just a few days worth of labor . "

John also explained to him in detail on how to make composts, fertilizers and the pros of modern farming methods of earth and Sarah’s world .

Plus it is worth a try anyway . They won’t lose anything apart from a few days worth of labor .

So he, later on, he came to his main topic on why he came to visit him today .

"However this time I came here because I wanted to buy a land for making my house . It would be very helpful if it is a big land like the last time when you gave me the warehouse for operating . Also if it is okay I wanted to buy the warehouse land as well . "

Sam thought about the proposal and then agreed to it as he thought that the village was anyways in need of funds and it would be quite helpful with gold if the village doesn’t have a yield this year . By purchasing the food in gold from the market in other towns to make up the deficit . Baron Mendez anyways never developed the North-frontier for quite a few years, to be exact 10 years, as he just thought about this town as only a buffer town between the Wild forest and his main domain . He was even more willing to sell this village to merchants but they would have protected the land themselves . It was always the villagers who footed the bill for protecting the town hook or crook . Jack’s main poison also sold well because it helped in paralyzing big beasts at least . However even he was always short in supply and it cost quite a lot for his poison .

People with money would never buy land over here as there was always a problem of safety from wild and magical beasts as soon as winter came and it was always better to invest in big towns and cities . because during the winter food was scarce in the forest and in desperation many times wild beasts would come over to the village in search of food which would always place the village in jeopardy . Plus the baron never sent his knights to protect the village . So he never cared about the lands sold in North-frontier town and he only cared about the taxes from the yield of crops .

Both the lands cost a total of 20 gold coins only . It seemed he was quite luxurious when he spent his money on the Soapmaking the machine .

"So here is your Deed of both the lands, all you need to do is give your signature here and pay the 20 gold coins needed . btw your new land is north of Jay’s house over here . Its only 10 minutes of walking distance . "

basically, it was near the barbed fenced gates north of the village, however, it can’t be helped since most of the lands were already occupied thought John .

After paying the gold he headed towards the Wood craftsmen Paul introduced by the village chief .

While he was going to meet Paul, Village chief convened a meeting between the 10 important people in the village at his house
