Now that Anna knew that Gawain was beginning to have some intention of deterring her from counterattacking, she wrinkled her small nose and smiled proudly, "It's just right, big barbarian, you are also full of dust, go to the farm of the Holy Warrior Real Estate in the city immediately to have a look, and you should rest and relax, you used to take me on a parade, but now I take you to go." ”

Anna's confidence is of course her most important "female ink officer" Agnes. Prani.

In Anna's "model farm", Gawain rode a horse and led the banner and the shoulder to the other side, a farmland surrounded by well-maintained canals and ponds, surrounded by a vertical circle of farmhouses, much more elaborate and tidy than before—the roof was covered with full thatch, and the wooden shelves in front of the yard were placed with farm tools and flower pots, and young seedlings or fruit trees began to be planted behind them (Gawain announced that the peasants on the Holy Land were exempt from tax for raising poultry and cultivating trees).

On the edge of the farms and hills, where the land has not yet been fully opened, wooden fences are also put up, and cattle such as cattle, sheep, and horses are raised on the meadows, and farmers accumulate manure on them. Outside the livestock pens, there are also some surplus manpower who come here to build scaffolding, smashing down wooden stakes in rows, and laying out the grape seedlings in an inclined manner, "so that we can produce a good harvest as soon as possible." Anna, who was sitting on her shoulder, seemed to have a very professional tone, and said to Gawain.

In the curling smoke of the cooking, in the main plots of farmland, the farmers have begun to plough the land and begin the sowing of autumn wheat, and the rest of the fallow places are carried by people carrying bales of straw and preparing for fertile soil.

Under a tall poplar tree, Agnes stood vividly, in front of her. There were a few "new-style" farm tools and a military baggage cart. and a few leashed mules, horses, and oxen.

"Hey, little sunfish," Gawain greeted the female ink officer very affectionately. Then he turned and dismounted, and Muzafiadin hurried over and took hold of the bridle, and led Sabina to the other side, lest she be gnawed by the rude animals.

"Impudent people, who is the sunfish!" Agnes protested, but Gawain, who walked under the poplar tree, shook her wrist back and forth, as if she didn't pay any attention to her feelings, and talked to herself. "Little sunfish, it seems that Anna and Anna have planned a lot of new and useful utensils during this time, right?"

"Hmph, veteresRomanidixeruntmalesubactum, qui, satisfrugibus, occandussit!" Agnes said this very arrogantly, her tongue very dexterous, and then Anna smiled and nodded.

"Hold back the birds!" Gawain was angry because the gray-haired girl didn't understand Latin. Anna understood, looking very uneducated, and Dim next to her was also scratching her head, looking like she didn't know what to do.

"It's an old-fashioned Roman proverb." Agnes gestured (Ask Sura.) Sula didn't understand either), and she waved at her servant, who soon put the harness on the two cows. Behind the two cows then dragged a mechanical box with large wheels, which was connected to the yoke by a rolling belt. Then the servant waved his whip, and the two oxen marched together in unison. With such an ingenious belt device, the power is transmitted to the box at the back, and the wheels turn. Gawain saw that this force drove the iron teeth at the front of the box, and with a click, a row of wheat was sent in, and the ears of wheat were automatically cut off by the iron teeth and fell neatly in the box below.

After the demonstration, Agnes triumphantly, "How, this is a lost mechanical skill from the ancient era, the automatic carding machine!" ”

Under the poplar tree, Anna applauded her female ink officer enthusiastically, and Gawain's fist quickly slammed into Agnes's head, grunting, "Fool, you are a fellow who thinks about things from the point of view of ingenuity at every turn—without any regard for the reality of labor, as if inventing something quaint and strange can change the world." ”

"This is recorded in the agronomic books of the ancient era, you are jealous, naked jealous that my skills are stronger than yours, and my mind is smarter than yours." Agnes covered her head and protested angrily.

Gawain said to Diem, "You used to do farm work, go and see, what happens to the wheat stalks after this machine cuts the ears of wheat?" ”

The giant Goliath-like guard ran to see it, "The wheat stalks are all wasted, and they cannot be used to feed the cattle or to fertilize them." ”

Agnes ran over and looked nervous in the mechanical box, "Nitpicking, this is just a machine for cutting ears of wheat, what's the point of lifting the stalks?" ”

"If you use this kind of machine, you have to use two cows, and the use of cattle is cost-effective - now that even the wheat straw is wasted, how can the cattle be fed? According to your broken machine, ploughing a hundred acres of land, the farmer will lose far more money for feed than he gains. Gawain unceremoniously counted down, and then he walked over again, twisting Agnes's hair braids as if reprimanding his own daughter, "Also, this kind of machine may not be more efficient than manual work, if all such automatic instruments are used, I ask you, the more idle labor there is, the more people who will not be able to support their families without work, have you considered it!" ”

"Then you say, you say, what should I do?" Agnes's expression, unconvinced and afraid, provoked Anna to keep mediating on the side.

"You can make the most of it if you invent a modified scythe with comb teeth that can wield ears and straws with a single person, and it's convenient and cheap!" Gawain pushed Agnes away, clapped his hands, and sentenced Agnes to death for the first invention on the grounds that it was "flashy", as in her mouth full of Latin, "What's the next device?" ”

Agnes was reluctant to put out an inconspicuous thing, "This is a hard yoke, which can be put around the neck of a horse, and with a new type of pole, it can make a horse plow and a horse-drawn cart." The gray-haired girl squinted her eyes and didn't look at Gawain, and when she introduced the yoke, her tone was obviously much lower than that of the previous "automatic comb and picker", and it was also much more flat, and it was obvious that she didn't particularly like this uncool invention.

But before Anna could react and applaud, Gawain snapped and gave a thumbs up: this gray-haired girl who likes girls has a normal IQ, and the last time he took the two to inspect the Mutter Valley, Agnes noticed that when the tenant farmer used his horse to pull the vehicle, the fur leather belt tied to his chest could easily slip to the neck and strangle, making the horse feel suffocating pain, and it was very inefficient when working, and it suffered a lot of damage. So Agnes made a yoke and collar instead of a leather strap on the horse, so that when pulling heavy loads, the horse would not feel uncomfortable from suffocating and unable to walk.

After Gawain finished applauding, Anna also glared and snapped twice after him, and then Gawain beckoned to Agnes and said kindly, "Little sunfish, come here." (To be continued.) )
