Chapter 3: A Lion's Carol. above

From May 0 to September 0, the population of the Puron King City increased from less than 100 to a total of 763 people in just four months, and most of these people were serfs from other villages who could not survive, and they came to the Puron King City with their families. It can be said that the serfs occupy about five-sevenths of the current total population of the royal city of Puren.

As the seeds of the first season were sown in the fields, the new serfs who joined the city of Puren helped a lot, including harvesting and maintaining the fields themselves. It's just that their methods are too backward, and they don't know how to maintain and maintain the quality of the land, which makes people very helpless.

One day four months ago, King Pullen was inspecting the fields and forests inside the royal city when he suddenly noticed that the serfs working in the fields had not taken good care of the fields. Most of them sow the seeds, do simple farming, and then leave the fields to grow freely.

Tianxiang was very annoyed when he saw it, he frowned, and walked in front of the agricultural chief with a cold face.

He shouted, "Farmer! You have been farming for nearly 20 years, why don't you take care of the fields and gather a large number of people here to chat and joke! ”

The Minister of Agriculture, one of the candidates for the post of Minister of Agriculture, chose five of the most experienced and the most tending of the fields out of nearly 500 serfs. According to the provisions of the first section of the first chapter of the "Law on the Selection and Appointment of Talents" in the royal city, all officials and captains of all units in the royal city are based on their personal ability as the preferred evaluation criterion, and all units are not allowed to engage in favoritism and irregularities when promoting personnel to official positions.

Jack, the chief farmer, was one of the first foreigners to join the royal city of Pullen, and he knew the king's temperament very well, and if he did not give a satisfactory answer to the king, he would be disgraced and whipped, and at worst, he would be sentenced to death according to the sixth section of the third chapter of the "New Constitution" - the supreme crime of blaspheming the interests of the people, and all members of his family would be expelled from the country without exception.

What has to be said here is that Tianxiang is kind to the people, but sometimes ruthless, he established the country with the army, imitated Qin law, reformed and absorbed talents from all over the world, and boldly appointed. Therefore, the laws of the Pulun royal city, the national constitution, and the military law of the city defense army, now also known as the military law constitution, are almost all punished heavily.

Jack's face turned pale with fright, and he stammered, "But, but the king...... We've always farmed like this, and there's nothing else to do but sow the seeds, water them, and clean them up from time to time. ”

Tianxiang's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this.

He didn't pay any more attention to Jack, nor did he order that he should be punished.

The next day, Tianxiang summoned all the serfs in the town, and although the serfs were no longer called serfs, the city of Pulun called these respectable people who farmed for the country and raised the people of the whole country as "farmer fathers". It means that they raised all the people of the city as if they were their own children.

Although the title farmer is the same as farmer, it is pronounced similarly in Chinese. But it is still a new and rare word in Old English. However, many serfs liked the title very much, believing that it gave them the self-esteem and dignity they deserved, so the name Farmer Father was quickly recognized by all the Pulon people.

More than 500 peasant fathers gathered, and Tianxiang set up a large platform in the center of the town, and four large squares were drawn on the platform.

"From this day forward, we cannot continue to plant fields in the way of the Romans! We began to cultivate the land in the Purun way, and you see that this new method of cultivation is called the "Four Gardens". ”

On the platform sat rows of peasant fathers, like obedient primary school students, listening attentively to Tianxiang's introduction to them how to use the entire field more efficiently.

"My king! What is the four-garden system?! Jack, who was also sitting below, stood up and raised his hand on behalf of more than a hundred people in his team and asked. Of course, the system of raising hands was also stipulated by Tianxiang, but at that time, it was mainly set up for children who lacked education, but I don't know how it became popular throughout the Pulon King City, so that now no matter which Pulen person wants to ask a question, he will subconsciously raise his right hand.

"It's hard for me to say this with your comprehension, because you lack so much scientific knowledge. But I'll explain it briefly. ”

Tianxiang's answer caused everyone to laugh and look at Jack, who sat down with his head scratched on his face.

"Under the four-nursery system, three-quarters of the land is planted with crops each year, and only a quarter of the arable land is fallow. Switching from a two-nursery system to a three-nursery system will increase the area of land for growing crops by one-sixth each year; Changing from a three-nursery system to a four-nursery system will increase the planting area by one-twelve. Moreover, the implementation of the three-nursery system and the four-nursery system is the result of the increase in agricultural productivity. ”

Tianxiang continued: "At present, in terms of the cultivated land owned by the Puren King City, we can contract about one acre of land per person at most, but this may still be a bit reluctant. After all, your tools are very scarce, and you don't have the cattle to be responsible for cultivating the land, which has frustrated our plans to open up and expand agricultural land. “

"My lord, we can use more than thirty batches of horses to clear the wasteland!" The peasants sitting below shouted.

"Idiot! Those are strategic resources, which are prioritized for the supply of the troops of the city defense of the city of Plun. Besides, with the temper of those Pullen cavalrymen now, if you fight with them, believe it or not, they dare to draw their swords in front of me, and you will play with your life? ”

- Hahahaha, there was another burst of laughter below, which made the man bow his head in embarrassment.

Tianxiang shook his head helplessly.

"In addition, from today onwards, I have ordered the carpentry department and the iron department to cooperate, a total of more than 70 acres, and seven craftsmen will build ten manure trucks overnight. And from today onwards, those manure trucks will be your special tools for fertilizing, and other than that, weeds are not allowed to be pulled out directly, they must be burned with fire! Burnt weed ash can moisten the land and make our crops grow faster and more lush. ”

"What? Isn't it true that you're planning to throw the into the crops we planted, king? Can you still eat that kind of thing that comes out?! The farmer exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter, what we eat is the raw material that is turned into fertilizer, as I said recently, what we eat and what we pull. Of course, we can't just eat dung. Do it the way I do, and no rebuttals and objections are allowed. ”

Tianxiang held his head high and looked at the farmers indifferently and said.

Although the underground peasant fathers did not understand this practice, out of reverence for the king, everyone nodded and acquiesced.

"Jack!" Tianxiang shouted.

"In!" Jack quickly got up from the ground and answered.

"From this day onwards, you take half of your men and follow the two craftsmen of the Iron Department to the Pulen River to dig a ditch to divert water, and bring clean and clear water into the irrigated fields, so that in four months we should have the first harvest season.

"Yes!"

…………………………

Four months later, a ravine was opened in the city of Pullen to bring water from the river to the fields, and the land was fertilized frequently, making the already fertile land even more vibrant. After all, this was originally a large forest for cats, and it can support such a dense forest, and the moisture and nutrition of the land cannot be ignored.

From watering and fertilization to the trial of rotational tillage, the agriculture of the royal city of Pulun completed the agricultural reform ahead of schedule. However, the rotation system was first invented in Italy in the early 11th century, but the method of fertilizing and grass ash to increase the fertility of the land was nearly two hundred years ahead of the whole of Western agriculture.

When the autumn harvest arrived, the city of Puron ushered in the first year's bountiful harvest. More than 70 acres of fields harvested nearly 1,800 catties of grain, which greatly eased the grain pressure on the construction of the Pulun King City. And this is because the first implementation of the new agricultural system has made most farmers not adapt to this model, otherwise the grain produced should be able to break 2,000 catties.

(PS: I checked it carefully and found that the medieval agricultural output on the Internet was actually not high per mu, but from the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century, after the Black Death, medieval agriculture began to flourish, and after the implementation of the agricultural reform implemented by the Pulon royal city, the grain output was indeed higher and higher year by year, and the highest per mu could reach more than 500 catties per year.) )

A week later.

Four new windmills were built in the south of the city to reprocess the soybeans and wheat grown in the city.

The windmills creaked and turned, and the peasants sang high-pitched peasant songs.

In the autumn of this year, the residents of Pulun King City ate hot white bread for the first time, and squeezed hundreds of catties of fruit wine from the fruit forest area in the south of the city, which was also put on the table by the residents of Pulun for the first time.

That night.

The sky is high and the moon is full.

The streets of Puren are full of lights.

Men and women with their children gathered at the table, and the small room was lit up by warm candles, and fresh juices, fruits, white bread and some vegetables were placed on the table, as well as a little jerky. This is undoubtedly a warm and fruitful meal.

Legend has it that the celebratory songs of the people of Puren that night even the dark clouds in the sky were dispersed.

The loyal guards stood on the wall, spears in hand, and looked ahead with resolute eyes.

Their determined expressions couldn't help but soften when they heard the bursts of laughter coming from behind them.

The soldiers and their companions looked at each other and smiled slightly.

In the cold wind, their figures became more erect.

Because, behind them is the qiē they want to protect.

is their only salvation and light in this dark world.

“…… The city of Puron, the Rose of Glory. ”
