Chapter 235: Improvement of Farm Tools and Papermaking
"What's the matter? Maxwell? Thor asked lazily, lying on the chaise longue and still not getting up, for the warm sun shining on him was so comfortable that he felt his bones become numb and numb, and he didn't want to sit up at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Until Diana's voice rang out: "Your Majesty Sol - watch your manners!" ”
As if a knee-jerk reflex, Thor subconsciously bounced up from his chair, crossed his legs, facing the crowd, and became a picture of him about business.
Jenna, who was standing behind Maxwell, couldn't help but let out a chuckle, but Thor was keenly overheard.
"It's a shame—" Thor felt so embarrassed that he couldn't help muttering to himself, "When did I get so scared of Diana—I'm so angry, and I blame her for whispering in my ear every day that this is not right, that one is serious, and it all forms a reflex." ”
However, just as he was about to "reprimand" Diana a little and regain some of his majesty, Maxwell answered Thor's question, and he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips:
"According to your orders, Your Majesty, each scholar has made their own scientific research plan, and I have already introduced them to the state of science and technology in the Kingdom of Soth as you have instructed-"
Saul then noticed the thick stack of parchment that Maxwell was holding in his hand, so he hurriedly took it from Maxwell's hand, which was indeed the first task he ordered after releasing Gliston and the others.
However, he didn't expect that less than ten people would write such a stack of plans.
The expression on Thor's face became serious, and he looked through the parchment carefully, this was indeed a big deal for the Soth people, almost deciding the future course of the kingdom, and there was no room for jokes.
The content on the parchment was written in English, and the handwriting was neat and beautiful, and Saul couldn't help but be a little amazed, but he didn't expect to be able to write such beautiful words even with a quill that he was not familiar with.
The layout of the entire parchment was very neat, and Saul had the feeling that he was reading a paper report, and the first one he opened was Jenner's report, her name prominently written in the upper left corner.
Saul read patiently, Jenna is a master's degree in architecture, and she began by evaluating and renovating the entire city composition, distribution and architectural form of Ujung Pandang from her own professional point of view, and questioned the ability of the city walls to protect it.
Then he put forward his own suggestions for other aspects of technology in the back, and Thor was itching in his heart, and he wanted to appoint her as the director of the construction department or something, and let her reinvent the Ujung Pandang.
Saul couldn't agree more with Jenna's suggestion, Ujung Pandang seemed to him a city with no planning at all, except for the inner city, which was relatively distinct, and the outer city was more like building wherever he wanted.
Houses, taverns, inns, and bazaars are almost all mixed together, and there is no good division, which leads to crowds and makes management much more difficult, and Thor has long wanted to renovate this place, but no one understands it.
Seeing the end, Saul couldn't help but swallow his saliva, the plan provided by Jenna is not only very advanced, involving city defense, regional division, management, drainage, disaster prevention, etc., but also seems to be extremely feasible, with today's manpower and material resources alone, it can be done inseparable.
This made Thor excited all of a sudden, and his expectations for the next proposal were greatly increased, and if there were one or two more proposals like this, he could guarantee that the Soths would develop rapidly at lightning speed.
Time passed in a hurry, and Thor was so fascinated by the documents that he forgot to speak for a while, which made Maxwell and the others miserable.
Diana didn't care, her physical fitness was not comparable to mortals at all, but Gliston and other scholars had already been crumbling by the scorching sun, and they could hardly help but collapse, and several people began to wonder if the plan did not please His Majesty, so they were punished in this disguise.
"Is his amiability all faked?" Scholars lamented that they might have been fooled.
"Your Majesty......" Maxwell was also a little unbearable, standing under the sun for so long was a little unbearable, he had to take the initiative to remind Saul that even if he asked the scholars to go back and rewrite, it was better than just standing here.
Realizing that he had forgotten that the others were still standing, Thor hurriedly called out to a few of the Thus warriors, ordering them to bring chairs and parasols, and a large vat of fruit wine for the scholars to relieve the heat.
This can't help but make Gliston and the others sweat profusely, and the feeling that His Majesty is really too fascinated to forget them.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Saul, but every suggestion put forward by Gliston and others is very tempting, and it makes Saul want to do it immediately, so he will be fascinated for a while.
After he finally looked at all the parchment, he slowly raised his head, and under a huge fur and artemisia parasol in front of him, the scholars couldn't help but sit directly on the ground.
"Your Majesty, what do you think—" Maxwell was about to stand up when he saw Thor looking over, but was stopped by Thor and had to sit on the ground rather embarrassed and ask Thor .
Diana frowned, but in the end she didn't say anything, as if she thought that this time was a special case, and let those etiquettes be dispensed with.
"Each of these says makes a lot of sense, and I agree with your common suggestion." Thor frowned slightly, and said cautiously:
"The idea of building a mill, a granary, and a paper mill is very practical, and we really should do it now."
On the parchment, all the scholars gave their professional opinions according to their specialty, and at the same time they all put forward almost the same opinion, that is, regardless of their profession, the most important thing for the Soss people to do at present is to develop agriculture.
Although iron farming tools were used, the dwarves only made iron based on experience, and the overall efficiency and form of farming tools were still very backward, which also led to low farming efficiency.
The construction of mills, granaries, improvement of agricultural tools, and planning of fields have become the consensus of almost every scholar, and this is also a point that Saul has always attached great importance to.
He deeply understood that in this era, food is gold, and only by making people fed can they gain more labor, combat power, and faster development.
So he did not hesitate to agree to this suggestion, and the other proposal was to build a paper workshop to make new paper.
Scholars have said that without paper, they would not be able to study and record the world, and knowledge would not be better disseminated, so the manufacture of paper and libraries has become an important policy in parallel with the development of agriculture.
Thor has decided to focus on these two core goals, and his future work will revolve around them.
