Chapter 642: Hybridization is king
"I didn't expect the lord to know so much about the situation on our farm. The owner of the Magic Manor, who had arrived in a hurry, said with a smile.
This magic manor owner is dressed as a farmer, his hands and feet are wide and rough, and his face is dark, and he knows at a glance that he is a person who has been digging in the land all year round, and from the physiognomy, his age is not particularly old, and he is less than forty years old.
"This nature, agriculture is the foundation of the entire territory, especially magic agriculture is the future of our territory, although I have never been here, but your every move, I can pay attention to it, Devit field owner, your analysis report on the future development trend of magic crops is still fresh in people's memory. Sean's last sentence fully confirmed that he did know about this magic manor, and not the name of the farmer he learned from the other magic manor staff who arrived first.
"Lord Lord has read my research report?" said the Lord of the De Witt Field, enveloped in a great sense of joy.
This undoubtedly represents a recognition of his hard work in botanical research over the years.
Agriculture is the foundation of a territory, and this simple truth is understood by everyone.
After all, no matter how your life style changes, most of the things that fill your stomach are grown from the ground, and the Eternal Night Commander has a special research report showing that in the same land, the agricultural civilization supports more than ten times the number of people of the nomadic civilization.
But in terms of ideology, it is another matter whether or not to attach importance to it.
Because the Eternal Night Warlord did not start with agriculture at all, manufacturing and trade were the biggest pillars of their start, and the bulk of the grain has always relied on imports from the Byron Alliance.
This situation has not changed over time, but has become more serious.
Because the manufacturing industry of the Eternal Night Warlords is growing far faster than their agriculture.
It is no exaggeration to say that manufacturing and trade account for more than 99 percent of the total military revenue.
In this case, the overall social climate will be biased towards manufacturing and trade.
If you give the Eternal Night Army a position to lead each position.
There is no doubt that the first in line is the service soldier.
Serving in the Eternal Night Commander is not just a matter of treatment and benefits, but also of glory.
It is also a great opportunity to change themselves, where they will systematically re-learn, whether it is cultural classes, martial arts, combat skills, ideas, etc.
Many people have completed the most important transformation of their lives in the military camp, and when the time comes, whether they continue to serve in the army or transfer to a local area, this will be their most effective qualification.
The soldiers here do not only refer to the main legionnaires, but also those military units such as the Medical Research Institute and the Firearms Bureau, which are all service soldiers, but the nature of the work they engage in is slightly different.
In second place, it is the military-related industry, although it is not as good as the main army, but the benefits in all aspects are still excellent, in this regard, the Eternal Night Commander has always adhered to the principle that the risk is proportional to the gain, the risk you take in this position is large enough, the salary is naturally superior, and you can't let any of the people who have made a difference, shed blood, sweat and tears.
When a preconceived notion is formed, it is something that everyone takes for granted.
In the third and fourth places are those engaged in business and manufacturing, which are basically equal in ranking, mainly for those who are relatively ordinary and those who are women.
Not everyone can become a soldier, and many people, whether in their own ability or character, are destined to be limited to squatting in logistics posts.
In terms of remuneration for business and manufacturing workers, they are relatively favorable, and as long as there are more than two people in an ordinary family engaged in related industries, their family background is usually not too bad.
At the bottom are the DeWitt farm owners, who specialize in agriculture-related industries.
Subconsciously, people will think that this is a profession that people who have nothing to do will choose.
After all, whether it is a trader or a manufacturing worker, especially the latter, they are not completely off-duty workers, most of them belong to farmers and workers part-time.
Isn't farming the same thing, what can be studied?
As everyone knows, if it weren't for the hard work of these professionals, where would they get a wide variety of fine seeds?
The owner of the DeWitt farm, as a veteran of the Eternal Night Army's agricultural qualifications, is particularly touched by this.
If it weren't for the insistence of his own lord and the use of private funds, he would have to insist on the research of crops, and the agricultural research of the Eternal Night Army Leader would not know when it would start.
With the unfolding of the unique environment of the Northern Fortress, the emergence of magical plants and magical crops, and the display of their unique effects, the people of their industry have been somewhat valued.
However, it is limited to the upper echelons of the Eternal Night Lord, and ordinary people have no way to access magic crops at present.
As long as your own lord approves of you, what is the gaze of others?
"I've read not only the latest reports of the farm owners, but also your previous reports on the grafting of crops and new cultivation techniques, and I just said that agriculture is the foundation of a territory, and only when enough food is produced in the land to feed everyone's stomachs, can the territory maintain stability and develop the economy and military. Sean did not hesitate to praise his words, "It is precisely because of the many scientific research workers who are like the owners of the field who are silently fighting on the front line that our territory has the current prosperity." ”
"Your Excellency, your lordship, we just do our job, we just do our job. The owner of De Witt was praised by Sean for being a little weak-hearted, just like an old farmer, constantly rubbing his hands, his dark face was flushed, and he didn't know if he was sunburned by the autumn tiger, or because he was nervous, and the sweat never stopped.
Obviously, direct dialogue with the top leaders of his own territory puts him under a lot of pressure.
A front-line worker like him who fights in such obscurity is usually simple and honest in temperament, and is not good at words and communication.
"Magic crops are of course very important, but the role of ordinary crops can not be ignored, after all, in a short period of time, ordinary crops are the main body, especially when the Danube Plain is developed in the future, a large number of excellent seeds suitable for cultivation here are needed, and you will be transferred here as the owner, not just for you to plant corn, and continuing the original research is the most important thing.
The effect of magic energy on crops is not only magic crops, but also has a far-reaching impact on ordinary crops, facilitating mutation and breeding, and screening out seeds suitable for cultivation on ordinary land.
In particular, the hybridization mentioned in your last paper, I think it is a very valuable research topic, when studying this, don't be limited by the perspective of magic plants, magic crops can be hybridized, ordinary crops can also be hybridized, and even between magic crops and ordinary crops, they can also be hybridized.
After all, the two belong to the same origin, and the boundary is not so obvious, as long as the crops with strong adaptability and high yield can be cultivated, the origin does not matter. Sean quickly shifted the conversation to what the DeWitt owner does best.
"My lord, I thought the same. The owner of the De Witt field slapped his thigh heavily, and said with a red face, "Recently, I have been trying this piece, under the stimulation of magic energy, normal crops have become more diverse, in the same field, the wheat and rice cultivated in the same way, the crops that grow, but there are all kinds of weeds, including the type of weeds with tenacious vitality but not very productive, and there are also rich fruits, but if they do not pass the wind."
I was thinking, if two varieties were combined into one variety, wouldn't it be perfect?
This year has already seen results, and if the lord and lady are interested, I will take you to see it. ”
Speaking of his best at picking a piece, the DeWitt owner is not so restrained, and his head is the way.
Hearing the mention of Sophia, Sean remembered his purpose, turned his head to Sophia with an apologetic expression and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you to the topic of interest, this is Devit??" Ken, don't look at him as the owner of the magic manor now, that's because this place needs professionals to be in charge, in fact, he is one of the best botanists in our territory, and he is very good at breeding and grafting, and he has a share of the many new farming techniques in your fiefdom, this is my wife Sophia. ”
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I am very interested in the topic you are talking about, in the past few years, my territory has benefited a lot in this regard, and I still need to rely on it in this aspect in the future, after all, agriculture is our pillar industry, it was before, and it is estimated that it will be in the future. Princess Sophia had a just right smile on her face.
It not only makes people feel like a spring breeze, but also maintains a distance that is not far away, leaving people with an approachable, yet noble feeling.
In this regard, Princess Sophia, who has been trained since childhood, is definitely a professional, and in comparison, Sean is an out-and-out nouveau riche who can't handle the relationship with his subordinates well.
If they are too close, it will certainly make them feel intimate, and it will weaken the mystery and prestige in their hearts.
When it's too far away, it can give people a sense of unattainability.
In this part, Sean needs to learn from Princess Sophia, and the etiquette that the Lancelot royal family has accumulated for three hundred years is not for nothing.
"Know, know, know. "Madame herself is a hundred times more noble and beautiful than in the newspapers, and the lord is too famous, and the botanists are far from being able to call it, at most they are involved in this area, and this is not my own work, but the result of everyone's hard work." ”
"The people in our territory seem to be so humble. Princess Sophia couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle, "Everything here has really opened my eyes, if you don't mind, let's continue." ”
"Okay, okay, please come with me. The DeWitt owner turned and walked ahead.
Lead Sean and Sophia into the depths of the Magic Manor.
The area of this magic manor is not small, and when you think about it, it has reached the level of a small village.
Magic corn is just one of their many crops, and soon they pass by magic wheat fields, magic potato fields, magic sweet potato fields, magic canola fields, magic orchards, and so on.
There are many variety.
This magic manor is more suitable than a production base, but a large test field.
The main purpose is to compare the different conditions of various crops under the stimulation of magic energy, and to select stable and excellent varieties to prepare for large-scale planting in the future.
Some of these crops can still be seen in their original varieties, and some of them have completely changed their appearance, and if no one introduces them, they will not even be able to think of their original varieties.
Along the way, the head of the DeWitt farm introduced the growth of each crop, analyzed their advantages and disadvantages, their future breeding direction, and whether they have the possibility of large-scale promotion in the future.
He is indeed a very qualified botanical researcher, and he usually squats in the fields.
"This is?" Sophia's gaze fell on the simple room on the ground.
Along the way, they saw a lot of these simple houses, and many of them existed, could they be used to stand guard and prevent people from stealing grain?
"It's something I asked people to do. The owner of De Witt said a little embarrassed, "I am a lazy person, sometimes I think it is more troublesome to run, so I simply let people set up some tool rooms, which can be used to hold farm tools, used to rest when tired, and sometimes you can also observe the growth of crops nearby, and the growth rate of some varieties is terrifying, and sometimes you can change your appearance overnight." ”
"I finally understand how the Eternal Night Commander has been able to grow to this extent in less than a dozen years. Princess Sophia sighed heartily.
Where is this lazy?
It's just too diligent and dedicated.
The owner of a magic manor is like this, but what about the others?
The leopard in the tube may not be completely accurate, but it also has a lot of reference value.
The owner of the Devit field was a little dazed, and he didn't know why the lord's wife suddenly came up with such an exclamation, what does this have to do with her tool room?
On the contrary, Sean knew very well what Sophia was sighing about, and replied with a smile: "Yes, the prosperity of a territory must be inseparable from the joint efforts of countless people, I am very fortunate to have a group of people who are as loyal as the owner of the Devitt field, as long as they are still there, why not prosper the territory?"
The owner of the De Witt field only realized at this time, the lord's wife was praising herself in a different way, and said again and again: "I haven't done anything great, I'm just doing my job, I should be glad that I was born in this era, it's the territory, it's the lord who gave me a chance to do what I'm interested in, if there is no lord, if there is no territory, I am just an ordinary farmer now." ”
"A good person to do their job, if everyone in this world can do their job well, they will inevitably have a different scene. Sophia couldn't help but sigh again.
Doing your job well seems simple, but it's so hard to do.
Especially those lords and nobles who are the ruling class, even if half of them can do their jobs well, the current Byron alliance is not the same Byron alliance.
"Praise words, let's keep it for later, let's continue the topic just now, the owner said that in terms of the use of magic energy, there is still the possibility of improvement, what are the good ideas? Sean turned the subject back again.
"Some of them are blind to me, and some of them are inferences that have not been verified, so if you are wrong, please forgive me. The owner of DeWitt was obviously a little embarrassed, because the next opening seemed to be a condition.
"If you don't even have a good idea, then you don't even have a future research direction, how can you achieve good results? If your idea is really good and feasible, I will definitely arrange it as soon as possible. Sean was also intrigued.
Originally, he was just accompanying Princess Sophia to learn about the random behavior of the Eternal Night Leader, but he was able to hit a big fish.
