Chapter 30: It's really a waste to be rebuilt
I don't know if I don't know this, but I was shocked when I saw it, there was really a lot of silt in the moat.
Jiang Yan looked down and could even see several animal carcasses inside.
Because it hasn't been cleaned up for a long time, there is not only a lot of silt, but also a lot of garbage.
Jiang Yan stood next to the moat and pondered, thought for a long time, and decided to use river mud to increase organic fertilizer.
Winter will soon be over, and the land will be ready before the spring planting season to make it possible for a bumper harvest in the coming year.
Early the next morning, a knight rode out of the lord's palace, and the sound of horses' hooves caused a wave in the calm city of Alicante.
The knight posted the latest notice of the Lord's Mansion on the billboard, like a drop of water falling into the boiling hot oil, and the inhabitants of Alicante gathered in front of this small billboard, and in order to avoid making the old man make a mistake again, the bold man asked the knight, "What is written on it, dense." ”
The knight was a little impatient, he wanted to go out, but there were people in front and back, left and right, and he was surrounded inside, and remembered Jiang Yan's advice before leaving, so he could only quickly explain: "The City Lord's Mansion is recruiting people to clean up the silt in the moat. ”
"Pick twenty baskets of silt and exchange them for a bag of beans in the City Lord's Mansion, ten bags of beans can be exchanged for a bag of wheat in the City Lord's Mansion, ten bags of wheat can be exchanged for a bag of rye in the City Lord's Mansion, and ten bags of rye can be exchanged for a bag of rice in the City Lord's Mansion! Ten bags of rice can be exchanged for a three-pound piece of meat. ”
"There is no limit to the number of people, and the number of food is as long as the number of food lasts. ”
As the knight spoke, everyone held their breath and looked at each other with some fear, and someone in the crowd asked, "Is there really such a good thing?"
Little Brandon happened to be in the middle of the crowd, and when he heard this, he ran home without saying a word.
This is a great thing! I must tell my parents as soon as possible and let them go to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible!
"The God of Light is above, and we, the new city lord, have really taken great pains to keep you fed. ”
The knight sneered, in his opinion, there was no need to do anything to dig up the mud. The reason for this is that the new city lord is a woman, and the woman is soft-hearted, and she can't see this group of slaves suffering.
It was a woman's kindness, the knight shook his head, and this time he walked out of the crowd without a hitch.
At the same time, many people followed behind him, stumbling towards the City Lord's Mansion.
This incident was unprecedented, and in order not to fall behind others, some people even fought with people on the way to run, just to grab this place.
Jiang Yan stood on the city wall, quietly watching the inhabitants of Alicante swarm.
At the gate of the city, Jager led Daisy and Bella to register at the gate, perhaps the residents of Alicante who rarely came into contact with the bottom, Bella and Daisy saw their crazy appearance, and they subconsciously took two steps back, covering their mouths and noses.
"It stinks, I haven't taken a shower in a few days. Daisy frowned, but she had to register them.
"That's it...... That's it, that's it. Bella stammered as she probed her brain, trying to find her loved ones in the crowd.
In contrast, Jager is extraordinarily capable, her face is not disgusted or compassionate, but businesslike, a board and a glance of inquiry records, for her, this is just a part of her work, since it is a job to do the best.
There were a lot of people who came, but there were also a lot of old, weak, sick and disabled people, Jiang Yan specially explained this, so Yager said to those old and young, "You are standing on the right hand." ”
"Aren't we going to record this?" said Lao Tu, leaning on crutches, anxiously.
Despite his old age, he thought he still had the strength to work hard to support himself.
"It will be recorded, but picking up river mud is not suitable for you, the City Lord's Mansion needs a lot of workers, and it will be registered for you next. Jager was kind enough to explain.
Even so, people are still a little apprehensive.
Although Jiang Yan stood on the city wall, she had also been carefully observing the people of Alicante City, and from Jager's inquiries and records, it could be seen that most of the residents of Alicante City had experienced learning, and even many of them were illiterate.
Knowledge is the ladder of human progress, and when spring begins, it is necessary to encourage everyone to actively participate in learning.
"Still. Jiang Yan frowned slightly, she remembered that Alicante City didn't seem to have a school.
"It's really a waste to be rebuilt. Jiang Yan pursed her lips, pressed her forehead with a little headache, and turned around and went downstairs.
The specific matter has long been explained to Jager and Brooke.
Thanks to the efforts of the Knights, most of the water in the moat was drained, and then the sturdy inhabitants were arranged to pick up the river mud, which was then transported in batches to the fields in the city.
The older and younger ones will be assigned to each field, and the requirements for them will not be too high, just mix the land and river mud completely, and burn some straw that the city lord's mansion has already prepared on it, then you can receive a bag of beans in the city lord's mansion.
There will be maids and male servants along the way, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and there is no need for Jiang Yan to be present to supervise.
In order to encourage their enthusiasm, Jiang Yan even arranged for people to move the food to a place where they could see it.
To be honest, in Jiang Yan's expectation, it would take at least five to ten days for this matter to be completed smoothly, but unexpectedly, after taking a nap with the little guy in his arms, he heard Yage come over and report, "Lord City, the river mud has almost been cleaned up." ”
Jiang Yan was so frightened that the sleepy insects were scared away by her.
"So much river mud, you say it's all cleaned up?" Jiang Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes. Jager nodded affirmatively, "According to your orders, they will be transported to the fields inside the city and the fields outside the city." ”
"Due to the lack of manpower in the city lord's mansion, I temporarily overstepped the rules and arranged for a few honest residents to transport a bag of beans to the fields outside the city, and asked them to mix the river mud with the fields. ”
"You're doing a great job. Jiang Yan smiled and reached out to pat Yager's shoulder.
"How the beans are consumed. Jiang Yan got up, put on her cloak, and held the stove.
It's what she's going to be dressed up for the trip.
Yager was smart, and immediately stepped forward, put the soft and glutinous little guy who was still rubbing his eyes into the basket, carried it behind Jiang Yan, and took out a notebook from his pocket and reported to Jiang Yan: "A total of three hundred and twenty bags of beans were given today, and fifty bags of wheat were replaced." ”
"According to a bag of beans of six catties, a total of 1,920 catties of beans have been produced, and there are still 5,000 catties of beans left in the Treasure Pavilion. ”
Black beans and soybeans are planted in the city of Alicante, because the beans are drought-tolerant, easy to feed, and in large quantities, many people basically grow beans in every household in order to make up for the tax rate of the previous city lord.
Therefore, in the Treasure Pavilion, except for a small amount of rice used to make seeds, the rest are basically beans.
