Chapter 115 Teaching Farming
The land here is good land.
Kiral has long understood this.
Because the roots of the trees constantly release ammonia and nitrogen, the soil becomes very full of nutrients, and the roots of the trees cause the soil to be very soft, so this kind of land is the dream of many farmers.
Although the peasants were sweating profusely and looked like they had been fished out of water, the smiles on their faces never stopped from the beginning.
Obviously, in terms of external publicity, there is no deception here, although it has suffered a lot along the way, but the land here is indeed fertile, and there is food, clothes to wear, and a place to live.
Everything is properly arranged, and the only thing to worry about is whether the lord of this place will really collect only one-tenth of the tax each time, as promised.
When they reached an average of three acres per person, Kaylar stopped their tracks.
This made them a little commotion, and it was clear that they had been happy with their previous promises, and it was undoubtedly in their interest to stop them from cultivating their land now.
In Keller's view, one acre of land for one person, and three acres for a family to take care of is already the limit.
What he needed was not the kind of extensive cultivation, but the kind of fine cultivation.
Although extensive reclamation allows a small population to take care of more land, and the land harvest depends on the sky, the cost performance is extremely high in the agricultural era.
However, China has always been a developed economy and trade in ancient times, and the developed landlord system has squeezed the survival system of small farmers, so small farmers have to sell their land or find ways to increase production capacity on their own land.
Intensive cultivation was naturally born in this land, which is an inevitable choice of history.
Once intensive cultivation is popularized, the output of grain will be multiplied and multiplied.
Only then did people discover the benefits of intensive farming, there was no need to watch the weather to eat, the yield was all dependent on their own maintenance, and for the first time, human beings held the grain production capacity in their own hands.
Now Kailar's request for intensive farming undoubtedly offends their sense of "ownership" in the enclosure.
It's ridiculous that less than three days after the peasants arrived, they already made it their home.
Fortunately, it met all the criteria of a "small state", and the direct control of the grassroots instantly suppressed their weak grievances, and the workers of more than 4,000 people naturally became part of the "violent apparatus".
More importantly, after the first peasants accepted this kind of three acres of land per family, when later generations wanted to violate this rule, they were actually infringing on their interests in turn.
So when their voices were silenced, Kyllar's voice took over.
He doesn't need to tell them why, he just needs to tell them what to do.
A small ditch was dug for the red line separating each acre of land to facilitate the scooping of water, and how to transport the water to the canal had to rely on another kind of pedal waterwheel.
