Chapter 15 The Value of Sweet Potatoes

After looking at his room, Wang Xiaode thought about it, every time he was on earth, he had to open the jade pendant crossing in Mount Tai Temple, but it was such an ordinary room in another world, which was really a little unsafe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info It seems that a simple basement will be built in the future.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw two young maids kneeling in front of the door and saluting him. Wang Xiaode asked the two of them to inform the main stewards of the lord's mansion to discuss the matter in the hall later, and he went to the altar again, if he listened to everything from the people below, he would be a fool. Wang Xiaode is not Adou or Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

After inspecting the altar, Wang Xiaode sighed that he had left this month, but a lot of things had happened.

What is the Earl's Mansion to collect debts, the baron is visiting, there are already some lords around, the slaves are a little unstable, etc., there are really a lot of things.

Go back to the Lord's Mansion and let Old Jack and them start their work.

First of all, nearly 100 wooden houses in the surrounding area are almost complete, and the territory personnel can already be partially transferred to the surrounding villages. The barons have gradually thrown themselves into the cultivation of the forest. The final payment for the construction of the wooden house will also have to be paid.

Johnson reported some innocuous news about Wildfire City, as well as recent purchases of supplies, the most important of which was the news from the Governor of Dana City that the first lords were about to enter their respective territories. But the legendary new baron should be a little later.

James also reported that some slaves have been unstable recently, and the current territory guards are a little insufficient.

In fact, there are only more than a dozen soldiers under Ronal's command, and it stands to reason that in addition to 10 soldiers, 40 auxiliaries can be recruited. But there are so many people in the village, and if the number of people is full, the number of people doing the work will drop. After all, soldiers must be light and strong, and the territory is not too strong.

"By the way, sir, someone from the Earl's Court asked for a potion, and said that you can use sugar and white salt instead of potions." Old Jack interjected before the others had finished speaking.

Wang Xiaode was not surprised at first when he heard Old Jack say that he wanted to run water, but he couldn't figure it out when he used white sugar and white salt instead of potions, and he didn't notice this in the records of the altar.

In fact, the record of the altar is not without records in this regard, but the information of the altar is too large and not prominent, so it was ignored by Wang Xiaode.

After asking Old Jack, Wang Xiaode also understood the reason. Runic water, or potion, is a rare thing after all, and although no one is too much, it is not consumed often. And the people who often consume are low-level people, and their value is not as good as the white sugar in their mouths in the eyes of the people above.

This is like Huaxia, I have heard of people rinsing their mouths with ginseng tea, but I have not heard of many people using it to hang their lives.

To say that in Wang Xiaode's eyes, white salt and white sugar are much easier than Fu Shui, and if you go back, you will have a large amount of white sugar and white salt, but Fu Shui needs to be refined by yourself.

And Wang Xiaode also sent a batch of supplies on the spot, including sugar, salt, water, weapons, sweet potato seeds, and so on.

With these, all kinds of debts can be paid off, and weapons solve the problem of territorial defense forces, with these full sets of military equipment, there is no need to worry about slaves and outsiders making trouble.

But when they saw those bags of things, a few people couldn't understand it.

"Jack, this is the seed of sweet potatoes, and this crop will be mainly cultivated outside the village in the future." Subsequently, Wang Xiaode introduced the characteristics of sweet potatoes and planting methods to several people.

When several people heard about the yield of sweet potatoes, they were shocked.

"What, a thousand pounds per mu? Then how is it possible, if there is really such a high output, then the territory will not have to buy grain from outside in the future, right? And it's for sale! "Old Jack has been planting land in this village for nearly ten years since he came here, and the production technology here is very low, with a yield of about 200-300 catties per mu. If the yield per mu is more than three times. This can't be blamed on old Jack for being so old and unable to hold his breath.

But the old Jack understands better than the young people that the production of food is not easy and precious.

In fact, for this yield, I know that it is still smaller, the average yield of sweet potatoes on the earth is 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms. This has multiplied several times, and if you count the nourishment of the otherworldly aura, I am afraid that the yield will be even higher.

"No, old Jack, you can only keep a small half of the territory for your own use, and the rest of the food still has to be bought from outside, and I will teach you how to make dried sweet potatoes for storage and sale when the time comes." One can't just eat sweet potatoes. Hearing Old Jack's plan, Wang Xiaode immediately stopped it.

Although sweet potatoes can fill their stomachs after eating, they don't have much nutrition, how can you just eat sweet potatoes, and if you really want to plant sweet potatoes outside, can you eat them all? In the end, it was wasted and counted.

There is another point that Wang Xiaode has not said now, with these sweet potatoes, he will be able to buy less sugar in the future, although this kind of white sugar using primitive refining technology will not be very high, but the output is large, and the price can be low, which can cater to the needs of low-end customers.

"Go about your business, Johnson for a while" and wait until everything is done. Wang Xiaode asked everyone to dismiss the meeting, but another person also stayed.

This man had not spoken until the beginning of the proceedings, and of course he was not qualified to speak because of his status as a "slave"

He is the bard that Wang Xiaode bought from Wildfire City to Old Jack as an assistant. It is said that Wang Xiaode is a modern person after all, if the other lords directly go down with a whip, "What's the matter with you?" Wang Xiaode asked.

Seeing the lord speak, the man immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "I want to see those seeds, I found something strange"

"Oh, interesting, that's just a bag of seeds, what it looks like, I'm afraid I know better than you, I'd like to see what strange things you can find." Wang Xiaode waved his hand to ask Old Jack not to reprimand, and also asked the man to look at the seeds.

When the bard carefully picked up the seeds, Wang Xiaode noticed that the other party's attention seemed to be not on the seeds, but on the packaging of the seeds.

This made Wang Xiaode strange, but thinking about it carefully, Wang Xiaode slapped his thigh suddenly. But he rolled his eyes but didn't make a sound.

"What did you find?" Wang Xiaode asked the bard.

"I don't know what it is? But I can feel how expensive he is, he is so beautiful, so white, I really want to put the most beautiful woman in the world in it. What is this snow-white skin? It's incredible. By this time, the bard had already regarded the blank wrap in his hand as a rare treasure, and had found a hint of the feeling of a former bard.

"This kind of thing is called paper, you haven't seen it before? So what do you use to record words? Wang Xiaode asked the bard, after all, the other party should have been a poet who should have come into contact with a lot of books in this world.

"What, record text? This can record words, the same as animal skins? "In the eyes of the bard, animal skins are already very good paper, except for animal skins, and the poor ones are made of bark and wood. Good like the nobles of the kingdom write in cloth. Of course, different hides and fabrics have different values.

After Wang Xiaode listened to the other party's explanation of the book production of this world, Wang Xiaode had to sigh once again about the backwardness of this world. There was paper on the earth since ancient times.

Wang Xiaode didn't have the heart to continue chatting with the other party, so he asked Old Jack to take him down, and told him to improve the other party's life in the future.

"James, how many slaves do we have in our territory now?" Wang Xiaode asked James that in terms of slaves, Wang Xiaode let James be responsible, after all, there are no soldiers watching, and Old Jack can't manage it.

"Master, with the twenty women just sent by Wildfire City, the number of slaves in the territory has now reached nearly 50. If you don't have weapons, it's a bit overwhelming. James said.

In particular, there were ten low-level female fighters, all of whom were professionals, and although they were not of high rank, they were much stronger than ordinary soldiers. If it weren't for Julia giving them a soul control potion, James wouldn't have been able to control it at all.

This potion is very harmful to the human body, it can hide all people's memories, but it will also greatly reduce the life span of the other party, according to Julia, these fighters still have ten years to live.

They are all trained by professionals to become qualified slaves, obeying the words of their masters, and if they find signs of recovering their memories, they can be stimulated with a special venom injection of a poisonous scorpion to disrupt their memories again. However, every time you use it, the life span will be reduced, but it is not as exaggerated as the first time, and it is directly reduced by decades.

"Well, gather them, I want to meet them," Wang Xiaode commanded.

Hearing Wang Xiaode's order, James simply gave a chest-beating salute and went down.

Seeing this salute scene, Wang Xiaode felt that the change of the otherworldly culture should also be carried out step by step, only by fundamentally approaching Huaxia can the heavenly court have a foothold in the future.

It can be said that if it weren't for the existence of the inheritance jade pendant, Wang Xiaode's behavior would be tantamount to creating a heavenly court from scratch.

After about a quarter of an hour, Wang Xiaode saw these slaves he had bought in the square in front of the altar.

Wang Xiaode didn't expect that he had bought so many people during this time, and there were only a few men among them, most of them were women, and the ones he bought were basically considered beauties, of course, he couldn't see it now, at least he had to change into a set of clothes to see it.

Some of them were gloomy, obviously they were not very used to the current situation, and some were relatively stable.

Like those who are not very good in spirit, they are basically transformed from their original superior status to slaves, and they belong to acquired slaves. Some of them are domestic, which belongs to the congenital slaves.
