"Your Excellency Cheney. When Baron William saw Luo Heng, he saluted very politely.

Luo Heng looked at Baron William, and was a little suspicious in his heart, could it be that this Baron William is here to inquire about the news on his side.

"What is the Baron looking for me?" Luo Heng asked directly.

Baron William heard Luo Heng's direct question, and said, "I saw that the grain on Your Excellency's side has begun to be harvested, so I want to come and take a look." ”

"That's fine, Lord Baron, please come with me. When Luo Heng heard that this was the reason, he decided to take William to have a look.

Baron William took his steward and came to the harvester, and saw baskets of ears of wheat being poured into the harvester, and with the help of three horses, the wheat soon came out, and it was very clean, and the shriveled wheat was sifted out.

Baron William's steward secretly estimated how much wheat would be harvested that day.

The straw in the farm, in fact, is not much use, the winter livestock itself is less, there was no way before, harvest the longer wheat straw, easy to transport, a large bundle of large bundles with a carriage to pull back, short but not easy to pack, and now this, direct transportation of wheat, the volume is much smaller, two carriages are enough.

"How much can this machine harvest in a day?" asked Baron William.

"This is not clear, and it needs to be tested. "Luo Heng really doesn't know, and the work of orcs and humans is not the same, but Luo Heng estimates that it will take more than ten days on his side.

"Lord Baron, this machine is good, we have cultivated more land this year. William's butler whispered.

Baron William nodded, then asked, "How much does the steward think a machine can harvest on this day?"

"Five hundred acres is no problem. The butler replied.

Luo Heng nodded, the wheat here is not a good seed on the earth, it is planted by chemical fertilizer, and the ears of wheat are only one-third of the earth, due to the lack of pesticides, so the density is also very small, there is no way, the insects below the ground have eaten a lot of wheat grains, so it looks golden from a distance, but when you look closer, it is sparse.

An acre of land is only more than 200 catties, and an acre of land on the earth is a minimum of five or six hundred catties, and the yield can reach a maximum of 1,000 catties.

In addition, Luo Heng's side is still good, just like those farms opposite, it is estimated that there are more than a hundred, and the farmer's fertilizer is not enough at all.

Therefore, the speed of harvesting is very fast, a basket of wheat ears is basically a harvest of hundreds of square meters, and an acre of land is only a few baskets.

Dozens of orcs, lined up, are very fast.

"Duke Cheney, how much does this machine cost?" asked Baron William.

"The price is estimated at twenty gold coins, see no, here this fine iron drive shaft, as well as these fine iron gears, can be used for at least twenty years, only one gold coin a year, as for these wooden, damaged can be replaced by themselves. Luo Heng said.

When he heard that twenty gold coins were used, William felt very disappointed, but when he heard that it would take twenty years, he felt that it was a good deal.

"And the machine harvests all wheat grains, which is more convenient to store and stand up in case of bad weather. Luo Heng continued.

"And you have to be fast, there must be a lot of orders received by the Magicians' Union, and if it's too late, it won't be able to catch up this year, this year's land will more than double that of last year, and the price of labor will definitely skyrocket at that time." Luo Heng didn't wait for Baron William to say anything, and spoke again.

"Your Excellency Cheney, I will take my leave. Hearing Luo Heng say this, Baron William was anxious, Baron William is not only a baron, but also the mayor of the town, this year's land area has increased, and there is a large demand for workers, so when Baron William heard that there was a machine harvesting here, he was immediately moved, once the wheat is ripe, if it rains for a few days, it will basically be over, and it will sprout.

Luo Heng saw William take people away, and Angus opened his mouth and said, "My lord, isn't twenty gold coins too expensive?"

"It's not expensive, you think, the demand for refined iron increases, and the price will definitely increase. Luo Heng said with a smile.

Luo Heng went to the news with the dwarf kingdom a month ago, others don't know, Luo Heng knows that the miners and blacksmiths on the dwarf side are seriously underemployed.

Why?

It's not that the fine iron weapon is a high-end weapon, the dwarf kingdom must control the number of exports, so as not to reduce a few, and this time the magician union sent the business to the door, the dwarf kingdom no longer knows how to catch ~ it, it is stupid ~ son.

Of course, Angus didn't know the inside story, and when he heard this, he nodded.

The harvester has attracted the attention of many farmers, after all, the grain planting area has increased this year, and now the labor cost has skyrocketed.

After consulting with the steward, Baron William decided to have twenty large harvesters, on the one hand, for Baron William's own needs, and on the other hand, as an asset of Riverdale, after all, there are many farms in Riverdale.

On the side of the Magicians' Union, it has been organizing manpower to test the harvester, and evaluating the cost performance of the harvester, in just five days, the Magician's Union has launched the harvester, the price is twenty gold coins, and in just one day after the launch of the harvester, it has received orders for 3,000 units.

The Wizards' Guild urgently ordered 10,000 sets of transmission shafts and gears to the Dwarven Forge Association.

The Wizards' Guild has stored this year's arable land and last year's, which are in huge demand.

The price of a set of propeller shafts and gears is twelve gold coins, of course, compared to dozens of gold coins for a weapon, the price of these transmission shafts and gears is not very high.

However, weapon forging is more troublesome than machining gears, and gears use casting technology, so they don't need to be forged, and the Dwarven Forging Association has a new profit growth point in the future, and it won't change much in military power.

What's more, the dwarves have more reserves of fine iron, and the Wizards' Guild placed an order for another 50,000 sets three days later.

Because the grain is ripe in some places, farmers in those places are finding that the price of labor is twice as high this year as in the past, and they are not yet able to hire manpower.

Where the grain is not ripe, the farmers and nobles are very anxious, but those commoners are not so anxious, and the more they plant, the more they lose.

After the release of the Magicians' Guild's harvester data, countless nobles placed orders, and these nobles were basically rulers, and they placed orders on behalf of various governments.

The magicians' union outsourced all the wooden things, and for a while, the orders of various timber mills were full, and the dwarves were a little prepared because they got the news a month in advance, but they were also anxious in the face of a huge number of orders.

The Wizards' Guild delivers orders, even more from south to north, because the grain in the south is ripe.

At night, Luo Heng's territory was quiet, Luo Heng was lying on the attic of the barn downstream of the river, his eyes were staring at the scope, Luo Heng was a full fifteen hundred meters away from the river.

Luo Heng looked upstream, the orc guards on the other side of the wooden bridge were taken by Angus to patrol, and behind the hill five hundred meters behind the wooden bridge, Giant Hulk and Walker were hiding here.

On the contrary, on the other side of the river, there were torches swaying from time to time, and Luo Heng ignored one point, that is, when the grain was ripe, there were more people who kept vigil.

There are a lot of farms on the other side of the river, basically all of them are civilians, and the farms by the river can be said to be good or bad, the good is that the water source is convenient, and the bad is that it is easy to be flooded, so the farms by the river are all free people's, and a family is only a few hundred acres, and a farm of a few hundred acres is only tens of thousands of catties of grain a year.

Therefore, autumn is absolutely necessary to protect the harvested fruits so as not to be stolen, after all, everyone has wheat, and if it is lost, it will not be recovered.

Luo Heng didn't expect this, and he didn't think of this for Luo Heng's adventure group, seeing the guards patrolling the road, as well as the shouts and shouts that sounded from time to time in the farmland, it was driving wild boars or something.

The members of the adventuring group had to temporarily abandon their plans for the night.

"What should I do?" In Riverdale Town, the captains of the adventure group gathered together, with sad faces, from preparation to the implementation of the plan, several months had passed, and in the end, it was impossible to proceed according to the plan.

"We're going to change our plans, the night watchmen in the fields aren't afraid, find a way to get those guards out of the way. The leader spoke.

"Why don't we lure the guards away?" someone suggested.

"How to lead away, according to our intelligence, Baron William sent out all the cavalry under his command, and if there is any movement, we will immediately be attacked by a large force of cavalry. ”

"Why don't we find a place to prevent fire?"

"Is this a good idea?"

"I'll look for the baron's farm. ”

The people of the adventuring group soon agreed that if they wanted to divert the town's guards and cavalry, it would be right to target Baron William's farm.

In the afternoon of the next day, Angus saw Luo Heng, who had just gotten up, and asked, "My lord, it seems that we are too worried." ”

"Angus, whether there is or not, we must be vigilant at night. Luo Heng said.

In the afternoon, Luo Heng was still strolling around the farm, and Angus still led the team to patrol.

In the evening, the people on the farm were tired from a long day's work and ready to eat and rest, and only Angus was still patrolling with men.

Suddenly, Luo Heng heard an exclamation.

Luo Heng hurriedly rushed out of the cafeteria and looked into the distance, there was smoke in the distance, and it seemed that the distance was still relatively far.

Luo Heng was agitated and shouted: "Walker, Hulk, quickly, hold the wooden bridge"

"Yes. Walker and Hulk rushed out.

Luo Heng summoned the battle armor, and with a flash of his figure, he rushed downstream.

"Turn on the radar and search for a predetermined area. Luo Heng immediately ordered.

"The search is complete. "A specific area search consumes very little energy.

However, just as Luo Heng was flying up a hill, he saw a fireball shot from the other side of the river a few miles away.

Woooooooooooooooo

And the horn of Angus was also heard upstream, apparently in an emergency.

"Bastard!" Luo Heng roared angrily, and his figure rushed over quickly.
