Sean looked at the bare and dark earth in front of him, and he knew that there was hope for the entire Shaun Island planted below.

Joyce quickly ran from a distance, waved his hands, and said excitedly: "My lord, the cultivation can be completed today, with the help of the plow, the cultivation of the wasteland is faster than expected. ”

"It's hard work, after the cultivation is completed, notify all the people to rest for a day, and by the way, count the craftsmen who burn pottery and bricks. I found a clay mine and coal mine on my tour of the island. This should be used as soon as possible. ”

Sean looked at the farmland in the distance, and saw that the people were busy farming, but his mind was thinking about the next development of the island.

At present, the development of Sean Island is restricted by population, in addition to resources. At present, there is a shortage of talents in all aspects of the island, and a large-scale cultivation basically accounts for 90% of the island's productivity.

If the population of Sean Island is sufficient, Sean can arrange for some people to farm, and another part to burn pottery and bricks, so as to develop the infrastructure construction of Sean Island on a large scale.

"Lord Lord, it's not hard, these are what they should do. If you burn pottery and bricks, there should be many people. At that time, the people selected by your father were all skilled in pottery, and pottery and bricks were no exception. ”

"That's good, then I'll tell the cultivators to gather at the beach in the evening and have a bonfire. Some of the people can be arranged in advance to catch seafood on the beach to prepare for the party, and we can also change our tastes and eat some seafood. Today is scheduled for the annual bonfire on Sean Island. ”

Sean did this for no reason, although the people of Sean Island came to Sean Island voluntarily, but after all, they had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment and were hesitant about the future, and they all needed a suitable opportunity to vent.

Today is a great opportunity for the future food crisis on Sean Island to be temporarily resolved after the land is cleared and cultivated. Sean just wants to give a suitable reason, let the people fully vent, and then devote themselves more to the construction of the island, and the combination of work and rest is the truth.

Another reason is that Sean can also take this opportunity to try the taste of other seafood, yesterday's conch tastes really good, although it is not as good as the colorful chicken, but it also has another flavor.

He is now working so hard to build a territory and exercise in order to have a better quality of life, enjoy the food of this world, feel the wonderful scenery of different places, experience different human customs, and explore the dangerous, deadly and charming endless sea.

"Your Excellency is merciful. ”

"Also, after the cultivation of this land is completed, the work of land reclamation should not stop, and continue to arrange for some people to open up the land. The remaining lords mined clay and coal mines, calcined ceramics and bricks, especially bricks. ”

"My lord, if you don't cultivate the land right now, and then plant wheat later, the yield of wheat may be greatly reduced. Lord, look at ......" Joyce couldn't help but be a little anxious when he heard Sean's order to continue clearing the wasteland.

"You don't have to worry about this problem, you go to contact Old Hunter, he should have fermented a lot of fertilizer during this time, although it may not be enough to fertilize 3,500 acres of wheat, but composting the newly opened land can still do. ”

The level of cultivation in this world is extremely backward, and even the most basic land fertility is not understood, generally speaking, one piece of land is cultivated until the fertility of the land is exhausted, and then another piece of land is cultivated for cultivation.

"Compost?"

Seeing the confusion on Joyce's face, Sean said again: "After the people cleared the wasteland, you asked Old Hunter to bring fertilizer and sprinkle it on the wasteland, and then spread some firewood stalks on it, and sprinkle a small amount of water. When the fertilizer on Old Hunter's side increases, it can also be sprinkled on the land where wheat is planted to increase the yield of wheat. ”

"Your lord, you say that the filth that Old Hunter has collected will increase the yield of wheat?" exclaimed Joyce. After all, in his memory, he had never heard such a ridiculous thing.

Isn't that a treasure a treasure that can increase the yield of wheat with filthy things? This makes him a little unbelievable that he has always stayed away from those filthy things. But seeing Sean's performance during this time, as well as the role of the plow, made his heart still shaken.

"Well, fertilizer can indeed increase yields, but don't spread too much, otherwise it may cause the wheat to wilt. Sean admonished.

He didn't know how to explain to Joyce the problem of fertilizer nutrition and the trace elements needed for wheat growth, so he simply kept him secret.

"If that's the case, after the planting, I'm asking the people to go to the grassland to pick up the filth...... No, it's feces. Then arrange to build a few more manure fermentation houses, so that all the wheat can be sprinkled with the fertilizer you mentioned, Lord Lord. ”

Joyce waved her hands excitedly, like a child getting a toy, excitedly imagining various plans.

"You can arrange this, you continue to supervise the cultivated land, and try to sow a small amount of rice seeds from the trade, not too much. Prepare well for the bonfire in the evening. Sean commanded.

Previously, the rice seed Sean had already checked the information through the identification system.

Rice seeds: the maturity cycle is 180 days, and the yield is low, about 150 kg per mu. Note: Irrigation of large amounts of water is required after sowing.

There is no information that can be optimized for rice seeds, I don't know if it is because the conditions are not met or because of the seeds themselves, and the yield per mu is not as good as that of wheat seeds soaked in the blood of colorful chickens, and it requires a lot of water irrigation, wasting a lot of manpower.

So Sean only ordered Joyce to plant a small amount, just to improve his food in the future. In my previous life, as a native southerner, I always felt that something was missing from the staple food of rice.

Sean, accompanied by Taylor, continued on his way to the initial lead. It was still a potholed dirt road, and dust was flying in the sky with strong winds.

"This road construction has to be on the agenda. Sean thought silently.

If you want to be rich, build roads first. After the cultivation is completed, the basic tools must be improved step by step, including the wooden cart must increase the output, and then the requirements for transportation roads will increase.

This potholed dirt road must have greatly affected the efficiency of transportation, and the original wheat straw houses had to be torn down and rebuilt, and the water conservancy projects needed for irrigation of farmland also needed to be completed in a hurry.

But these require the production of bricks and the experimental production of cement in his mind in order to gradually improve these infrastructures.

"Everything needs to be improved. Sean shook his head and sighed.

"Your Excellency, you have done a good job, I have never heard of hundreds of lords being able to cultivate 3,500 acres of cultivated land in more than ten days. ”

In Taylor's eyes, Sean was already better than many of the nobles he had ever met. Not only from the point of view of swordsman training but also from the matter of cultivating land, Sean is definitely excellent.

Sean sighed and said, "The Endless Sea is a gladiatorial arena for the survival of the fittest, and slow development is destruction." ”
