Shen Nong - the Divine Farmer

Shen Nong is one of the nobles in Chinese mythology. He taught the people all about agriculture and the medicinal value of herbs.

Shen Nong is an ancestral hero, you need an ancestral shrine to get him to your city.

Shen Nong halves the cost of:

• Farm House and food fields
• Hemp Farm and hemp fields
• Market Square
• Food Shop
• Mill
• Herbalist's Stall

Shen Nong can bless:

• Farmhouse: the farm once produces 4 loads instead of one. Another blessing is needed if you want another 4 loads.
• Hemp Farm: idem to farmhouse

Shen Nong acts like a:
