The maroon dragon horse carried the earth knight Liszt over the muddy land to Peanutun Tun. Peanutun is a much smaller settlement than the village, with seven or eight thatched huts scattered around.

"What are you stunned about, when you see the lord coming, why don't you hurry up and bow down!" the clerk in the town knocked on the door of every farmer's house with his legs and feet.

The people who lived here were all serfs.

Coming out of the leaky house, the expression on his face was numb to the oppression of life, and he stood at the door with a wooden face, at a loss. Under the loud scolding of the clerk, they knelt on the ground one by one and saluted in the direction of Liszt.

The actions of adults are numb.

Only a few bare-bottomed children, from time to time, raised their heads and looked at Liszt with their big, dirty but bright eyes. Then he was slapped on the head by an adult, and knelt on the ground like them, his head almost touching the ground.

"Who is the steward of Peanutton?" asked Liszt.

Galtai rode on his horse, looking like he didn't care about himself, he didn't know who the steward of Peanutton was. A clerical clerk spoke up: "If you go back to the adult, it's the lame old George." ”

"Ask him to come over. ”

The clerk soon pulled an old man who was lame and walked poorly. The old man's clothes were patched, and his dry body seemed to be ready to go out at any moment.

"My lord, old George is here. ”

The clerk pushed the old man, as if he wanted to get the old man to salute quickly, but the old man looked very nervous, standing dumbfounded, and at a loss.

Liszt waved his hand, asked the clerk to step back, and said gently: "Old George, don't be nervous, I am Baron Liszt Tulip, the lord of Flower Town. I heard that there is a problem with peanuts in Peanut Tun, you can take us to the field to see if we can solve this problem. ”

"Ah, oh, baron...... Lord Lord......" Old George stammered nervously, "I'll lead the way...... Thank God...... Peanut Tun was saved...... Your Lord has come to our rescue!"

Old George, who was so excited, could walk with the wind.

Liszt had inspected the farmland, but only stood outside and glanced at it, and now he really looked at the farmland carefully. Because they were all serfs' fields, there were no ridges, and each piece of elongated farmland had only one ravine as a dividing line, and different serfs planted different fields.

Almost ninety percent of the output of the farmland was produced by the aristocracy, that is, by Liszt.

The remaining 10 percent is their ration.

At this time.

The peanut field that was supposed to be green was green and yellow, and all the peanuts were gone, and they were half-dead and paralyzed on the ground. The land was damp, apparently the serfs did not water less, but unfortunately watering did not allow the flowers to live.

Old George wiped his tears and said excitedly: "My lord, we are not lazy, we fetch water three times a day, but the peanuts are still dying. Now only the field planted by Archie, the peanuts have not yet been removed, but they are almost unbearable, and some of the leaves are starting to turn yellow. ”

Following the direction of Old George's finger, Liszt saw the long field in the middle of the Peanutun farmland.

The central part of Nagata is green, and it is much more energetic than the yellow-green peanuts that surround it.

Liszt turned over and dismounted, walked to the farmland, bent down and pulled out a yellowed peanut seedling, and was about to take a closer look, when Galtai suddenly said: "Liszt, you shouldn't touch these dirty work, just let this group of serfs do it." "Although he is a down-and-out lord knight, in terms of mentality, he looks down on commoners more than ordinary nobles.

Liszt ignored it.

Instead, repeatedly observe the peanut seedlings in your hand to determine the cause.

He is not an agronomist, but he farmed as a child and is no stranger to agriculture. Peanuts of the two worlds, some aspects are similar, some aspects are strange. But basically, it can still be judged that the peanut seedlings in the hand are caused by malnutrition.

"Do you have plant ash, or dung, to water the fields?"

"What?" said old George, "my lord, we have watered it three times a day!"

Liszt asked, "Don't you use fertilizer?"

Old George was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "What is fertilizer?"

I don't even know what fertilizer is...... Liszt was speechless: "How do you all grow peanuts?"

Old George babbled a lot, basically the grass grows in autumn and winter, and the next year it will be burned with fire, and then start planting peanuts, and after planting, it will be watered and weeded. From generation to generation, it has been planted in this way, and the harvest is particularly low. Only the nobles could use the elves to influence the growth of plants and achieve the purpose of abundant production.

Got it. Liszt couldn't help but shake his head.

If you don't sprinkle fertilizer, no matter how good the land is, it will become barren land after planting it a few times. The large farmland in front of me is about to be planted into yellow earth, no wonder peanuts are going to die, this is "starving" to death.

But then Liszt wondered: "Why didn't the peanuts starve to death before, but now the peanuts are starving to death?"

I heard old George say that they planted like this every year, except for drought and flood, there was no similar phenomenon. Therefore, the lack of nutrition in the peanut field may have another reason.

"What is the reason?"

His eyes fell on the green patch in the middle of the field, and he pondered it carefully.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to me, and I remembered the reward of the mission, which called for the rescue of the peanut field, and rewarded a spirit worm. According to the way he received the reward for his first mission, Liszt felt that the elven worm would not appear out of thin air, and would probably suddenly pick one up on the road.

"Reward me with an elven worm...... The peanut field is malnourished......" Standing up, Liszt already had the answer in his heart, "I'm afraid, the cause of malnutrition in the peanut field is the elven worm that the task will reward me." The elf insect is bred from plants, and this elf insect of mine should be the peanut elf insect. ”

Waving his hand, he beckoned to everyone: "Go to the middle of the field and have a look." ”

A group of people walked on tiptoe and came to the center of the peanut field, where the peanut seedlings were still quite vigorous. Liszt rummaged through his memories, he had seen the collection of elven insects when he was a child, and it was roughly in the flowers of a plant, or in the new shoots, there was a fairy insect like a silkworm baby as warm as jade.

Different elf insects have different patterns.

He is currently worth four elven insects, one tulip elven insect, one thorn elven insect, one corn elven worm, and one alfalfa elven worm. The breeding of elf insects needs to cooperate with farming, and Galtai is still helping him find suitable farmland for breeding elf insects.

After rummaging for a moment, Liszt did not find a peanut seedling with elf worms in it.

"It's probably because the time hasn't come yet, and the nutrition can't keep up, and this peanut worm will probably miscarry. Liszt couldn't help but tighten his palms, the elf worm represents productivity, and this task cannot be failed.

Come to think of it.

He said to the crowd: "I probably already understand the reason, old George, and now, as I have commanded, to save this peanut field." ”

"Praise your lord!" said old George, crying with joy.

Galtai was surprised and asked, "Liszt, have you really found the problem, do you still grow peanuts? What caused the flower to die?"

"I can't say yet, we'll see in a few days. For Liszt's sake, he didn't say why, and he was also worried that he had guessed wrong, in case there were no elves at all, wouldn't it be a trouble.

Therefore, let's treat the peanut seedlings first.
