"Ding~"

"The player has successfully used the [Son of the Baron] character card and is matching the character ......"

"Character matching......!

……

"Wow~Wow~"

A loud cry resounded in a quaint and tall castle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Dear Connor, it's a boy with a nose and mouth that resembles yours. On the bed, a woman with a motherly glow on her face, holding the baby in her arms, said to the young man beside the bed.

"Hahahaha, well, well, my Connor finally has a child, and can inherit the glory and badge of my Burns family!" the young man took the child in his arms and laughed loudly, and the laughter contained endless hopes and expectations for this eldest son.

……

Six months later.

"I became Edward?"

Zhou Ming, who sat quietly in the cradle bed and sucked his thumb, didn't know how many times he had made such an exclamation.

In the last game, Edward, who was trapped by him and killed his whole family, turned out to be himself in this life.

Zhou Ming understands the bad taste of the system, all the previous game, and the game's default characters are a little related, in the new game, as long as the character card is used, it will generally be matched from these associated characters, forming a kind of ill-fated, creating an illusion.

Actually, this is the system being lazy.

"Forget it, Edward is Edward, although in the last game, this is an arrogant guy who makes people extremely unhappy, but it can't be said to be a bad guy, it's just that he has some common problems that all nobles may have, for the dignity and decency of knights, he naturally looks down on those lowly farmers who struggle at the bottom......"

"However, I can be regarded as avenging the arrow, of course, this revenge is a bit excessive, and your whole family's lives have been put into it, and I am here to say that the grievances between us can be smoothed out......

"If that's not enough, then let me make a name for myself in this world in your name, not to mention the crown on my head to reach the top of the pole, but at least to be the king, with a heavy handle in my hand. ”

Thinking about this, Zhou Ming didn't bother anymore, he should eat and sleep, and he also regarded Baron Connor and Madame Madeleine as parents in this life, and in less than eight months, his parents shouted out, so that the couple was about to shed tears of happiness.

……

In the blink of an eye, I was three years old.

Zhou Ming, who was already able to walk in the field, had traces of activities all over the castle, and often slipped out of the castle and in the fields, watching the farmers farm with great interest, and sometimes asked his father, Baron Connor, to take him to the north of the territory to find some stones, and in the woods to the east, digging some things, saying that he was looking for the coal mine below.

Yes, when Zhou Ming opened the two volumes of [Mineral Resources Distribution Map] and [World Map] in his mind, this world was full of fun for him.

The small Grand Collar is actually very rich in underground resources, the barren mountains in the north have a limestone deposit with reserves of more than 100 million tons, the forest in the east has three considerable reserves of coal resources, there are gold mines in the south, and there are diamond veins in the extreme underground depths in the west.

However, these mineral deposits, except for the limestone mine in the north, have a certain mining value, and the other mineral deposits are too deep to be mined.

But it doesn't matter, this is just a small Grand Collar, and in this world, there are countless places like the Grand Collar, there are endless mineral deposits buried underground, although only a small part of them have mining value, but it is enough for Zhou Ming, those riches are waiting for him there, and he will get them back sooner or later.

The biggest gain is the [World Map] in Zhou Ming's mind.

This map gave Zhou Ming a glimpse of the whole world for the first time, and knew what kind of planet he was on.

This planet, the area is about twice that of the earth, 70% of it is the sea, and the other 30% of the land is a fairly complete continent, the shape of this continent is a bit like a spindle with two heads and tails together, and it can also be said that it is like a pair of lungs in the human body, connected by a "trachea".

The "trachea" between these lungs is what people in this world call the Devil's Mountain-Ural Snow Mountain.

The Ural Snow Mountain, the middle uplift formed by the collision of two lung-shaped continents, has an average altitude much higher than the Himalayas on the earth, and it is conservatively estimated that the average height must be tens of thousands of meters.

To the west of the Ural Snow Mountains is the continent where Zhou Ming is currently located, with hundreds of kingdoms and a population of over 100 million. But the area of the eastern continent is larger, what will be on that continent, Zhou Ming does not know, he only knows, as long as he climbs over the snow-capped mountains in the east of the Volis Kingdom, he will be able to spy on the entire land on this planet, occupying the other 60% of the area.

"In the future, let's go to the back of the Ural Snow Mountains to explore, maybe there will be a lot of surprises waiting for me. ”

……

In the following years, Zhou Ming began to show his talent for farming in front of his father, Baron Connor.

According to the principle of increasing the yield of cow dung, Zhou Ming set up a test field in the territory manor to carry out the manure yield increase test, so that the yield per mu of barley was increased by three times and was successful, and the "manure centralized treatment ordinance" promulgated by the Grand Castle Mansion was soon fully implemented in various villages and towns.

Then it is to transform the agricultural tools, add the plough wall to the heavy plow, and invent the ox yoke and the sowing cart, which greatly improves the utilization efficiency of the ploughing ox and the sowing speed of the farmer, and reduces their labor intensity and physical burden.

But even so, Zhou Ming found that the farmers who had reduced a lot of burdens did not have the desire to expand the planting area and increase grain production~ hope, and his father, Baron Connor, was afraid that these idle farmers would have nothing to do and wander around, so he got them to the quarry in the north, preparing to make the outer wall of the castle a little taller and thicker.

Seeing that this could not go on, the six-year-old Zhou Ming suggested to Baron Connor: "Dad, don't let these farmers build castles, otherwise, let's make a reward order, if there is a farmer who can hand over 50 taren (≈1 tons) of grain to the lord in a year, then he will be exempted from three days a week's work, and if it exceeds 50 talons, the excess part will be returned to the farmer, so that they will have the incentive to farm." ”

Zhou Ming's plan was formulated to stimulate labor with incentives and increase the enthusiasm of farmers under the condition that the original tax system was basically not changed.

After all, under normal circumstances, the maximum amount of grain that an adult farmer can grow in a year is about 80-100 talons, of which fifty percent are handed over to the lord, and the amount handed over is between 40-50 talons, so to complete the goal of 50 talons, it is enough to work a little harder.

Compared with being able to avoid working three days a week, it is too cost-effective to increase the variety of food.

"Is this possible? Without the peasants doing weekly labor, the lord's fields would be left uncultivated, and there would be a lot less profit. ”

Baron Connor's brow furrowed, feeling that if he adopted this kind of incentive, he would not only not make money, but also suffer some losses.

"Dad, I've done the math for you, although your less than 2,000 acres of land are the most fertile river flats, but under the labor of those farmers who are not highly motivated, the yield per mu is not as good as half of the farmers' own fields, so let's simply rent all these river flats to farmers, even if they only take fifty percent, it is more than all the previous ones...... Believe me, those farmers will try their best to plant the land in order not to do weekly work. ”

The farming experience left in the previous life allowed Zhou Ming to understand the character of those farmers a long time ago.

"But what if the weekly work is abolished, what if you have to call those farmers to work in the future? There is not only a little work in the fields, but also in the future, these farmers will be used to build roads, bridges, and castles. ”

"Then in the name of thanksgiving, call the farmers to come and work, but in the name of gratitude, invite them to eat some delicious white bread and drink some delicious mutton soup, will they not come to work?"

Zhou Ming felt that this baron's father didn't know how to be flexible at all.

"Edward, you are truly my wisest son. ”

Baron Connor looked at Zhou Ming in a daze for a while, and only after a long time did he hold back such a sentence.
