Arcane Lord

Chapter 139

According to the narratives of the farmers, there are some heavy plows in the manors of some big nobles, but they are complicated, expensive, and too heavy, requiring a lot of animal power. Therefore, most manor owners are not willing to invest too much in this area, and farmers themselves cannot afford it.

After a round of fieldwork, Andre finally knows why the price of food has been so high, why the farmers can only maintain adequate food and clothing when they work hard…

Lagged behind!

It’s too backward!

He couldn’t believe it. People on Olaer continent still don’t know the importance of fertilization. Basically, after planting, they sit at home and watch the sky and eat. They don’t do weeding or insect-controlling. It would be strange to get a good harvest.

You must know that the human civilization of this World has a history of tens of thousands of years. In such a long period of time, as the most important agriculture, there hasn’t been any development, and it’s just staying in place.

As everyone knows, food production determines the number of people, and the number of people determines the speed of social development. Since food production is slow to increase, the population will naturally not increase, plus monster and Wild beast often launches attacks on the human world, so labor is always in a relatively scarce state, thus ensuring that the primordial feudal system will last forever on this land.

Andre is not a sociologist, so he is not interested in promoting the development of the entire world. He just wants to make his territory rich as soon as possible, so he immediately summoned him as soon as he returned to the castle. Scholars, blacksmiths and carpenters bought at the slave market.

Without any nonsense, he directly wrote the agricultural knowledge he knew on the parchment, and at the same time drew two sketches of the plow. The agricultural knowledge was given to scholar and the sketches were given to the blacksmith and carpenter.

“Read the things on the paper, and then tell me if you can do it.”

Since the drawings are relatively simple, the carpenter will finish reading them quickly, immediately without the slightest Hesitation said: “Master, as long as there is enough wood, I promise to make at least three sets of farm tools on the drawing every day.”

“As many farm tools as you can make, we can build as many A shovel head.” One of the blacksmiths also patted his chest to make a guarantee.

In fact, the structure of the hand-held plow is very simple. It is only assembled from a few pieces of wood. There is no technical difficulty at all. You can basically learn it after just a glance.

It’s just such a simple bauble, but it’s a treasure that can make food production advanced by leaps and bounds. It allows farmers to cultivate more land at one time and do a day’s work with a hoe. Plowing can be completed in an hour or two.

Hearing the replies from the blacksmith and carpenter, Andre gently nodded: “Very well, then you start to prepare. It is winter now, and recruit more tenants to log for a month or two. More than five hundred of them were made within it, and I will use them for spring plowing. Remember, this is very important and must not be sloppy. Let’s prepare now. I hope to see all farmers use them in a month or two. This thing plows the ground.”

“Please rest assured, we will do our best to do this thing!”

The carpenter took the lead and bowed, and the two blacksmiths hurriedly followed Bend down, then turned and left the room. They can’t wait to show their craftsmanship in front of the new owner, so that they can have better living conditions in the future.

As soon as the three of them left, only the scholar who was about fifty years old was left in the house, still watching the content on parchment intently.

According to the description of the slave merchant, he was called Abner. He was originally a private consultant to the earl of the kingdom of Ica from afar. He is proficient in business, management, agriculture, animal husbandry and many other knowledges, which can almost be called He is an all-rounder and should normally lead a life that others will envy.

But it is a pity that although he himself is excellent, his wife is a complete stupid, not only secretly soliciting bribes greedily, but in the end he boldly reached into the earl’s taxes.

For a strong earl, he may be able to tolerate money from his subordinates, but he can never tolerate someone who violates his authority. Taxes just represent the privilege of the nobility, so he without the slightest hesitation He executed the greedy woman, and at the same time reduced the once trusted advisor to slave and sold it to the merchant.

Chloe also fancyed Abner’s talents, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy him. With such a comprehensive talent, the entire estate will soon be beaten. Well organized.

Ten minutes later, Andre felt that the other party should be able to see it, so he asked: “Tell me, do you think the tenants will accept this new farming method?”

Abner touched the beard on his chin slightly nodded: “The problem shouldn’t be big, even if you don’t want to, you are the lord of this land and have the rights of Supreme. All they can do is Accept it. But are you sure that the method written here can really increase food production?”

Although he is already a slave, he can still hear his disdain and contempt for farmers. It fully reflects the strict hierarchy of Olaer Continent and the preciousness of knowledge.

In the eyes of most people, scholars, nobles, and professionals with strong personal strength, even if reduced to slaves and beggars, are a hundred times more noble than farmers who don’t know many characters, and they are more tolerant of the law. The extent is definitely a double standard.

For example, if Abner’s wife’s crimes are replaced by a farmer, it is estimated that the whole family will have to clarify the canonical punishment and be executed in the most cruel way, but he has only been relegated to slave. It can be seen how big the difference is.

“Of course, when you wait for the spring plowing, you are responsible for making all farmers follow the above methods. I guarantee that the grain output can be increased by at least three times. In short, plan the land as soon as possible. Those places are farmland. Those areas are pastures, which are divided and cut with fences. In addition, I will buy a large number of slaves most recently. You’d better plan the village and land as soon as possible to ensure that there will be no trouble when the time comes.” Rubbed his eyebrows lightly.

Although he does not like the attitudes and concepts of the elderly, this is a universal value on the continent. Almost all ruling classes think so. Even the farmers themselves have no objection. The only thing I can do is to make the farmers in the territory have a better life.

“I heard that you seem to be ready to do a big job. Some infrastructure is best started now. I plan to recruit people tomorrow to dig some irrigation canals and build some by the way. The wood house is still one to two months away from spring plowing, and there should be plenty of time.” As Abner put the parchment on his hand on the candle and burned it to ashes.
