Although Virtya Markov didn't have a cheater like system to help him to achieve his goals very quickly, he was not devastated because he was not only a genius but he was also a "librarian" in his past life.

But how will he manage to fabricate "heavenly" stuffs from his previous life when he didn't have the system or an extensive knowledge about engineering? Thus, Virtya Mariov came up with a plan... "I will build Shanghai, Tokyo, New York and Dubai. All these cities will stand in our kingdom!" Virtya uttered determinedly before he stared at the disoriented crowd which was giving him weird looks as if he was a clown. /"What is Tokyo city? Is it a new delicacy? When did our king start to cook for himself? Ok, What about New York? Is it a carriage?" The crowd was ablaze as Azuhai denizens discussed among themselves.../

Manure

After three days since king Virtya initiated his plan on agriculture and education, changes could already be seen all around Whiddiff capital. 

The capital was clean of human and animal waste that usually littered the streets. After all, king Virtya had ordered the denizens to dig pits where they could store their wastes. 

Actually, both the nobles and the rich denizens of Whiddiff city had their own pit latrines even before king Virtya gave his declaration and it could be seen that there were already workers put in place who would usually scoop all the stored waste in the residents of these nobles. Even if there had been a reluctance by the nobles as they didn't like their shit being taken away, they soon agreed with the king's order after the royal knights were involved.

There were specially made wooden carriages that could be seen passing in the streets now and then. These carriages had a putrid stench that the passerby could not ignore. Everywhere that the carriages passed, the people moved aside to allow it to pass lest the contents that was being carried in them splashed all over their faces.

Furthermore,

In Whiddiff city, it was a crime to misuse shit, no one was allowed to defecate just anywhere like they used to. No. Several pits had been dug all around the capital and a simple wooden latrines were made. Even if the Polkok denizens were opposed to this change at first, they quickly accepted it because it enhanced their privacy.

Meanwhile, it took three days for Vlad to finish his campaign about agriculture in all the districts in Whiddiff city. It could have taken him just a single day to finish this mission in the capital but both Polkok district and Brovon district were difficult to traverse and convince those residents but fortunately, Vlad managed to finish his campaign even if he failed to change the minds of the Polkok denizens.

Currently, Vlad was focussing on other districts that were outside Whiddiff city to teach the farmers about increasing the quality of their soil.

"I hope this will work just like how I saw it happening before my eyes at the meeting that was organized between the farmers and the high priest. This is definitely a game changer in the agricultural sector. I don't know where his majesty got this genius idea. Who would have thought that the crops loves our wastes and that putrid stuff? This! This is mind boggling. I am impressed." Losif Angeloff said to himself as he arranged the layers needed by his compost pit.

One should know that Vlad didn't have the time to showcase the power of putrid wastes to the plants before the farmers who attended his meeting, Thus, Vlad had to order his aides to look for a place where some crops had grown on top of putrid garbage by mistake and definitely, they found such a places because this was a city and it had a large population therefore, finding a garbage mount was not hard. And through several examples, the farmers examined the crops that had grown on top of the garbage and differentiated them with the crops that had grown in soil of no quality and through this examination, the farmers marveled at the difference that could be apparently seen.

Unfortunately, Losif Angeloff didn't find a chance to get enough waste manure to put on his farm thus, he was forced to use another way as taught to him by Vlad. 

Even if this plan needed time to mature, the results were still the same or even more desirable as compared to if he would have used shit on his soil.

"Mr Vlad said that the pit need a month for the contents to rot and the manure to be ready for use." Losif Angeloff murmured to himself. 

It could be seen that Losif didn't have a helper and he was forced to prepare a small part of his farm by himself. 

It was not that Losif's farm was small but he didn't have the manpower or money to pay the workers to prepare his farm and by doing this alone, he could only manage to prepare a small part of it whereby the output from such a small scale could not enable him to sell the excess produce for money. The produce was only little to cover his yearly needs after the harvesting season and thus, he would be forced to wait for another planting season so that he could continue with this cycle.
