Arcane Lord

“Your Excellency, the land near the lake is too humid, I am afraid that wheat can not be grown. Would you like to plant other crops, such as rice?” Abner asked cautiously .

He knows that this new crop from the southern islands is not very popular with the nobles. After all, habit is a very terrifying thing, once it is formed, it is difficult to change, even the poor civilians are not willing Eat this kind of weird big grains of food.

“Rice! Are you saying that there is rice here?” Andre’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t wait to ask.

As a traverser from Earth, he is too aware of the value of rice for agriculture, especially in the warm south like Linton City, as long as it is close to rivers or lakes, three crops a year are definitely no problem.

Aibner Shrugged Bang replied: “Yes, I checked a few days ago. There are a lot of rice seeds on Warehouse Road. It should be promoted here by the City Hall, but it obviously failed.”

“Failed! Why?”

Andre does not understand such a high-yield crop, why not be accepted by the farmers, you must know that there are still many poor people in the city who can鈥檛 get enough to eat. Is eating habits more important than starvation?

“In fact, the reason is very simple. There are two main reasons. The first is that people don鈥檛 know how to eat. On the other hand, the output is too low and it is troublesome to take care of. Water, so it’s far better than planting wheat.” Abner explained without omission and in detail.

The output is too low? !

Hearing these words, Andre didn鈥檛 let his saliva choke to death. He quickly patted his chest and resisted the urge to hit the wall with his head. He lowered his voice and asked, 鈥淐an you tell me what the farmers here are? How to grow rice? As far as I know, this is a very high-yield crop. How can the yield be lower than wheat?”

Abner was taken aback for a moment, and immediately took out one from his arms. Zhang parchment: “This is the planting record I found in the warehouse. Everything is clearly recorded. You should understand after reading it.”

“Half a meter apart?!”

p>

Andre yelled out after just one glance, the expression on his face was full of shock, and there were 10,000 alpacas whistled past in his heart.

You must know that the most fundamental difference between rice and wheat is pollination. Wheat is automatically pollinated, while rice is pollinated by poplar flowers. The former does not need to manage anything and can naturally form ears, while the latter requires wind or Two kinds of pollen are artificially mixed. If there is not enough wind, the natural pollination rate is less than 15-20%!

What’s even more annoying is that the distance recorded on the parchment actually exceeds half a meter, even if there is a strong wind, the pollination success rate is not much higher.

In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple. Just reduce the spacing to a normal range, and then use sticks, ropes and the like to push it when the rice is blooming.

However, on Olaer continent, this technology has obviously not been invented yet.

Without any hesitation, he immediately picked up the quill on the table, dipped the ink on the table, and quickly wrote down the correct method of growing rice, and then immediately handed it to Abner: “Take Go, follow the above method, I guarantee that the yield of rice is much higher than that of wheat. Remember, wherever rice can be planted, I will plant rice, and the rest of the dry land will be planted with wheat. In addition, it鈥檚 best to plant rice in paddy fields. Raising some fish and frogs here can not only prevent and control harmful insects, but also add some meat to the farmers.”

“Goddess Freya is here! Where did you find this knowledge? Could it be inspired by Goddess!” Abner’s voice was trembling, his eyes filled with incredible rays of light.

Andre not at all answered this question head-on, just smiled and blinked his eyes: “Hehe, this is a secret, I can’t tell you the answer yet.”

He also knows The things I took out were a bit horrifying, but there was no way, at most seven to eight months, the entire Linton city would fall into an unprecedented famine, so there must be enough food. Otherwise, even if the secret mastermind is defeated, the hungry people cannot be calmed down, or this ancient and prosperous city will be reduced to ruins under riots and flames.

Abner gave a shivered and hurriedly bowed respectfully: “Understood! Please rest assured, I will do everything according to your instructions, no matter who it is. These precious agricultural knowledge.”

“Very well, I believe in your talents, and at the same time give you enough rights. Remember, in any case, I will see enough food in half a year , Do you understand?” When Andre said the last word, a flash of cold light flashed through Andre’s eyes, and huge oppression was exuding all over his body.

“I swear! I will never disappoint you!” Abner one-knee kneels, solemnly made a promise.

“Go ahead, if you don鈥檛 let me down, I won鈥檛 let you down. If you do this in half a year, you will not only regain freedom, but also get a generous Reward.” As Andre patted Abner on the shoulder, he turned and walked towards the mountain within the valley.

After solving the agricultural problem, he is now going to see the soldiers he bought at a high price, and by the way give the correct training method.

After all, the soldiers of Brandt in the Prairie Kingdom are not very disciplined. Especially when the blood is on the top, they can鈥檛 control themselves at all. They only know that they are crazy about shooting arrows and charging, and I am afraid that they want to become cavalry forbidden It won’t be too easy.

Of course, loose discipline is not unique to Brandt soldiers. All military disciplines on the Olaer continent are not much better. Many private armies of aristocrats often rush up without orders. There are a small number of Knights who can still maintain the formation when charging.

Riding a horse across a large field, Andre saw a large number of busy farmers and slaves.

Some of them are reclaiming wasteland, some are building wood houses, and some are learning to use plows. Many places have dug a half-meter wide canal, which is a busy scene and part of farmland. The shoots have sprouts, and it should be the winter wheat grown by farmers.

According to his speculation, Linton City should be located in a subtropical area. Even in winter, the temperature is between 5掳C and 15掳C, plus sufficient sunlight, so it is already at this time It grows quite tall, it is estimated that it will mature in May to June, and it can be harvested almost twice a year.

It is precisely because of this that the farmers here can still fill their stomachs on the whole. Unlike Gushan Town, if they don鈥檛 go hunting, they will definitely be hungry if they don鈥檛 go hunting. More than half of the people died.
