Kapitel 937: The City of Thesalie (Part-3)

Lady Felicia had certainly embellished the truth a bit when she said Alexander's farming techniques had doubled the harvest.

In reality, it was closer to 40% to 50% increase.

Which was still great no question.

But 650 kg per hectare was still quite a bit lacking when compared to Zanzan's average of nearly 1,000 kg (one ton) per hectare, and minuscule when compared to the astounding more than 3,000 kg (three tons) per hectare found in some very, very fertile parts of the Tibias during bumper harvests. 

But when compared to the traditional yield of the surrounding lands here that ran between 350 to 450 kg per hectare depending on the weather, it was indeed a great improvement.

For context, in Alexander's previous life, 650 kg of grain per hectare was the average yield Greece had under Roman rule, while Tunisia's average yield was 400 kg per hectare.
