I expect that it'll take more than four years for the peasants to see themselves that the Demon King's method of field rotation does preserve the soil quality and thus come to rely on that method.
And then the Demon King is only teaching the method to one rather backward village on the frontier. It will take even longer for people in other regions to notice that this village has a better method of crop rotation and to copy the method, which further delays how long the improved results can be used to intensify war efforts. (This paragraph assumes she's not going to go around teaching all the frontier villages her new method of rotation but rather leaving the spreading to the current village)

I think Maou is going to solve many different problems as the show goes on. In one episode, she laid the groundwork for solving food shortage and education (Yuusha doesn't even know what education is). In the next episode, she'll probably move on to something else. I don't think we'll see the actual process of her work spreading throughout the kingdoms. Perhaps there will be a short clip of peasants celebrating the harvest to show they are having more than enough to eat.
It just isn't very exciting to watch Maou visiting different villages and repeating the same process.
