Chapter 5 Exploitation of the Wasteland

In the reception hall, Sean sat in the front seat, Taylor stood behind him, and in front of him were three kneeling hunters, he thought for a moment and said: "I give you a task, you go to capture the beasts of the jungle or the grassland for me, but there is one requirement, that is, you must not harm these beasts. ”

"It can be done, but why would the lord do this, it is more troublesome to do it than to hunt. One of the hunters asked cautiously.

Sean said a little impatiently: "You don't need to know the reason, you just need to catch it for me, and I will give you money." As for the difficulty, I bought it at twice the value of the beast meat, but there is one thing, you can't hunt the beast indiscriminately, the more beasts of the same kind are caught, the larger the purchase amount. And most importantly, none of the four-legged beasts on the grassland are allowed to attack. ”

"Yes, my lord. The three hunters bowed and withdrew.

There is a reason why Sean is in such a hurry to develop animal husbandry, and judging from the information obtained by the identification system, the swordsman exercises to take a lot of flesh and blood qi will greatly enhance the effect of exercise.

It is estimated that the meat of blood qi should be a necessary need for swordsmen to exercise, otherwise blood qi cannot keep up with the consumption of exercise, and loss is its own foundation. To paraphrase some novels in his previous life, he is poor and does not practice martial arts. If you can't keep up with the practice of martial arts, the more you practice your body, the greater the loss.

Sean has some speculations about the reason for the scarcity of swordsman professionals in this world: the food and clothing in this world has not yet been solved, animal husbandry cannot develop, and only hunting cannot provide a stable supply of meat every day. Perhaps the children of the nobility can enjoy this treatment through large-scale purchases, but the stability of supply is always insufficient.

Even if he is as strong as Taylor, a silver swordsman, doesn't it form a bottleneck because of too little intake of qi, blood, and flesh? Can he still go hunting in the wild every day?

He had a plan in mind to increase wheat production through organic fertilizer produced in toilets and manure fermentation houses. Then feed the poultry and beasts he planned to raise with plenty of wheat.

The poultry and beasts of animal husbandry can provide the qi, blood and meat provided by the swordsman's training, and once the scale of livestock is increased to a certain extent, it can also improve the quality of life and diet of the people in the territory.

Swordsman training is related to the military foundation of the island, although there is Taylor, a silver swordsman, but the main military force still depends on the militia at the bottom, which is why Sean has paid attention to cultivating land many times.

The island's specialty pillar industry also needs to be built in a hurry, and Sean has a lot of ideas and plans in mind, but it takes time to realize this.

The island was built from scratch, everything is still in the exploration stage, and Sean believes that with the experience and identification system of his previous life, he will definitely be able to develop this island that belongs to him.

"Set a small goal first, first improve your diet, white bread and bacon every day, it's enough. ”

Don't blame Sean for complaining, as a lord on an island, with such a unique geographical environment, he has to nibble on bread every day, and it is sad to say it, after all, only by satisfying the appetite can the motivation for the development of the island be stimulated.

In the afternoon, when the sun was a little less violent, accompanied by Taylor, Sean came to the site of the wasteland that Duru had said, only to see that the previous overgrown wasteland had been carved out of a large area.

In the distance, Joyce was directing the people to work on the land in sweat, but seeing the scene in the distance, Sean frowned.

It's not that some people are lazy, after all, these wasted lands are the main source of their future life and food, and no one will be lazy about their future rations.

The reason why Sean frowned was because of the poor farming tools, a group of leaders were weeding the land with wooden farm tools, which was frighteningly inefficient, and Sean even saw many leaders pulling weeds and digging the ground directly with their hands.

"Your Excellency, my lord, is well. When Joyce saw Sean, he hurriedly ran from a distance and bowed in greeting. The other lords also stopped what they were doing and were about to approach Sean to greet him.

Sean hurriedly waved his hand, signaling the leaders to continue to explore the wasteland. Then he said to Joyce, "Why are the farm tools so backward, and there are no iron ones, and why are so many people without farm tools, and why are not all the farm tools in the castle?"

In his previous life, as a clerk of the Ministry of Agriculture, he had also seen the cultivation of wasteland in many places, but he had never seen such a backward farming method, and it was even more impossible for his predecessor to be a nobleman.

"Lord Lord, the lords of the Initial Continent have no chance to get iron farming tools, due to the lack of mineral resources, the manufacturing of weapons and iron ore is already insufficient, and there are basically few iron ores to forge farming tools. ”

"And now all the farm tools of the castle have been issued to the people of the initial territory, and the initial continent to open up the wasteland is developed in this way. Joyce was afraid that Sean would not understand, so he hurriedly explained.

"Well, how much has been developed so far, and how much wasteland is planned to be developed. ”

Joyce looked at the land that had been reclaimed behind him, and said in his heart: "From the morning to now, almost 100 acres have been developed, and by the evening it should be possible to develop about 150 acres." ”

"Hundreds of talents to develop so much, continue to develop, this area is far from the level I want. ”

Originally, Sean wanted to tell the area of the wasteland in his heart, but he was afraid of scaring the administrator in front of him, so he just continued to command and didn't say anything more.

Back at the castle, Sean sat at his bedroom desk, looking at a piece of thick paper, thinking about how to make a simple plow in his previous life.

He was very dissatisfied with the progress of today's lords, and also refreshed Sean's view of the world's scientific and technological level, originally his goal was to open up at least 3,500 acres of wasteland, so that according to the information of wheat seeds obtained by the identification system, even if it is cultivated seamlessly, it is only about 550 tons of wheat per year, and the average daily yield of wheat per lord is about 3kg.

And whether the wheat in this world can be planted in summer or autumn is still a question.

An average of 3 kg of wheat per person per day is already the minimum yield that Sean can accept, because he not only has to hoard a large amount of grain to prepare for the future expansion of the population of the people, but also to prepare food for livestock in the near future.

If the early development can't go according to Sean's plan, then all the plans in the future need to be adjusted. So he can only rely on the vague memories of his previous life to find a breakthrough, and the production of plows is his best solution.

Agricultural plough implements include handrails, plough bodies, plow tips, baffles and plough floors. Plough tip and ploughshare floor are positioned at the front end of plough body, baffle plate is positioned at the rear of plough tip, plow tip and plow floor are connected with rope, the end of plow tip is connected with the regulator that is positioned at plough body, the position of controlling plow tip end on the regulator can limit the size of the angle between plow tip and plough floor, and the position of control baffle plate on the regulator can limit the angle of baffle.

Sean slowly drew the concrete drawings of the plough tools he had consulted when he was working at the Ministry of Agriculture in his previous life, and slowly drew them on thick paper. Seeing that the drawings in front of him had taken shape, he called Duru and instructed: "Dulu, help me find a few carpenters, I have some farm tools that they need to build." ”

"Yes, my lord. ”
