"Drive, drive, drive!"

On the dirt road where the pits were dug and digging, a group of thirteen knights galloped on horseback, and the leader of the group obviously ignored the horsepower to the extreme, even though the horses were tired and panting, but still picked up the horsewhip and whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and the horse was in pain, and then ran again.

"Earl, earl! Stop! Let the horse gasp, or the horse will be strangled to death! ”

Taking advantage of the fact that Count Don Jr., who was running at the front, was running at the top of his horsepower and slowing down, the knight of Alcoba hurriedly rode up and said to Count Don Jr.

Count Xiao Tang was unwilling, but looked down at his mount, this horse was really about to hold on, it was panting so badly that there was even white foam about to flow out of the corners of its mouth, so he said unwillingly: "Okay, rest for a while, and go on the road as soon as the horse recovers." ”

As soon as the knights heard this, they immediately lowered their horses, turned over and dismounted, and looked at their mounts in distress, and immediately fed the horses with water and bristles, and tried to make their horses more comfortable.

These knights, they are generally a little heavier than Count Xiao Tang, after all, Count Xiao Tang is not yet an adult, and they have all entered the peak of life; And today, although I didn't wear that tin can, I have never squeezed horsepower like this on weekdays, and I have been sprinting from beginning to end! What if the horse is out of breath and strangled like this?

That's right, the horse was strangled to death.

To tell the truth, Count Don had only heard of horses dying of exhaustion, war, starvation, and old age, but he had never heard of horses being strangled to death! What the hell is strangulation!

However, the knight of Alcoba was speaking in an old way, and it was by no means comparable to that of a young man like Count Don. You must know that in the ancient and even early Middle Ages, when they rode horses, they actually wore the hinges (jiaozi) directly on the chest of the horse! The weight of a person, plus the weight of the person's armor, plus the weight of the horse itself, is equivalent to pressing directly on the horse's chest, that is, the place where the horse's heart is, and it is strange that the horse can gasp! Therefore, the cavalry of Europe never ran fast, and the heavy cavalry could only charge when they were only one or two hundred meters away from the enemy, and most of them could only charge one round, and the horses would be too tired to stand it.

In contrast, our ancestors are much smarter, they put the hinge on the horse's shoulder, that is, the place where the horse's shoulder is bone, I believe that everyone has practical experience in this kind of thing, and it is much lighter to carry things on the shoulder than to hold it on the chest, because the shoulder can drive the strength of the whole body, and it will not burden the heart. Therefore, we have only heard of horses dying of thirst and thirst, but we have never heard of horses dying of death.

However, the Europeans finally learned this trick of our ancestors, because of the Mongol invasion, the **** of Temujin Khan swept half the world, and finally spread this technology to the past. As we know later, the Mongols gradually weakened, and the light cavalry of the Eastern European countries of Poland and Lithuania rose, completely shooting the heavy cavalry that could not run fast in Western Europe into slag.

By the way, I saw six cows ploughing the land in the manor before because of this, and there were two reasons for using six cows at that time, one was that the land had to be turned over again, and the other was that the cow was afraid that the cow would be out of breath and strangled, and the burden of a few more cows was a little smaller.

"Lord Earl, the grass grows on the ground, and it won't run away on its own, why are you in such a hurry!"

While they were resting on the side, the knight of Alcobar stepped forward, handed Count Don a pot of water (there is no kettle now, and the pot is used for water), and said half-exhortation-half-complaining--he can't help complaining, the horse he rode has been with him for almost seven or eight years, and the horse is human, to be honest, even the wife of the knight of Alcobar is not as intimate as this horse! Just now seeing his beloved horse almost out of breath, the Alcoba knight was about to fall into tears.

"Knight Alcoba, you think it's grass because you don't know its value! In my eyes, it's not grass, it's silver! It's gold! Count Xiao Tang took a big sip of water, then looked at the knights around him with their ears pricked up, and said very seriously: "I know that you are all angry in your hearts, and you all complain, so come and listen." ”

Hearing what Count Xiao Tang said, the group of knights stopped pretending, tied their horses one by one, and sat around Count Xiao Tang, waiting for Count Xiao Tang to speak.

They must have been curious in their hearts, when the little Count Tang felt the grass from the messenger, asked the specific direction, and turned his face on the spot and imprisoned the envoy - you know, this is not a trivial matter, the two countries are at war and do not kill the envoy, you do this is equivalent to turning your face with the Grand Duke of Murzid, and you are going to fight. If he doesn't fight, he will have to pay a lot of money to apologize, and if Count Xiao Tang has no legitimate reason, I'm afraid that this group of knights will turn against him at that time.

"This grass, its name is clover." The little Count Tang looked at the knights in a circle waiting to hear the story, and felt that he had become a kindergarten teacher - but the kindergarten teacher could do things without explanation, because the little pot friends had no force; If Count Xiao Tang doesn't explain what he does, then he will have a bloody disaster.

"There are two kinds of clovers, one with four leaves, which is said to bring miracles, and the gods will grant a wish of the lucky one who gets the four-leaf clover."

"Wow!"

Before the words of the little Count Tang were finished, the knights began to stir, four-leaf clover, miracle! A wish! Such a beautiful thing......

Do you think we're all fools, Lord Earl?!

The dissatisfaction of the knights is simply clear, and there is no need for them to hide their emotions, who are these knights? They killed, they set fires, they did all kinds of evil, and they just robbed a monastery three months ago! You expect them to believe in God, but it is better to expect God to become a cute girl with big breasts and long legs to warm your bed realistically.

"Quiet!" After the knights were confused for a while, and their voices gradually became quieter, Count Xiao Tang suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "What are you anxious about! I'm not done yet! ”

As he spoke, Count Don's eyes widened and he glared at the knights with rage. To tell the truth, Count Don felt that his patience with these knights was almost at the limit, they were savage, they were greedy, they were crazy, they had no discipline yet, and they rarely took themselves as a lord seriously. Little Count Tang is almost exhausted from instructing those stupid and stupid peasants on how to 'do the sacraments' outside every day, and after returning to the castle, he will continue to intrigue with this group of knights, and Little Count Tang can't bear it anymore!

"But, yes, but I still need to rely on them, I still need their force, I need their support, wait a minute, when these two years have passed, Desmond has enough money and food, and then I will train the ideal soldiers, and wipe out these knights, and those nobles, and this damn old era!"

That's it, Count Don kept comforting himself in his heart, and only looked at these knights when he could control his emotions. And these knights, looking at the angry expression of Count Xiao Tang, were more or less embarrassed, after all, at the beginning, they knelt under this earl and swore allegiance.

"Hmph." Seeing that this group of knights were honest, Count Xiao Tang felt that his anger had gone down a little, and then he continued to speak: "What are you all anxious about! If you don't believe in the so-called miracles, do I believe in them? ”

"The four-leaf clover is just a rumor, not to be believed, but the clover is the real thing we need!" As he spoke, Count Tang took out the clover from his bosom and showed it to the knights: "Do you know the greatest power of this clover?" That's to make pasture! As long as you plant the seeds of this clover on one acre of land, you can harvest thousands of catties of pasture grass in the coming year, do you know how many livestock can be raised? Let me tell you, one acre of clover can feed one cow, or five sheep, or two hundred chickens and ducks every year! ”

Raise a cow on an acre of land! Or five sheep! Or two hundred chickens and ducks!

The knights were almost stunned, although these knights did not work, but they nested in the village every day, how could they not know about cattle and sheep. In the past, raising a cow, even if it was a free-range method to drive the cow out to graze, he had to plant three or five acres of land to prepare, but now he only needs one acre of land to raise a cow! If this is the case, then it is understandable that Count Tang suddenly turned against a grand duke.

With this recipe for making a fortune, who wants it to be leaked out?

But the knights understood, but Count Don felt that it was not enough, and he thought that it was necessary for him to shock these knights again, let these guys know how powerful they were, and let them dare not despise themselves anymore.

"Shocked now? It's still early! I'm telling you, that's not all Clover is capable of! This clover, it's honey-growing! ”

Honey! Honey! Honey!

The knights suddenly felt that their breathing was heavy, they became panting like cows, their eyes were red like rabbits, and even a little brother under their bodies showed signs of raising their heads excitedly.

These knights are not to blame, for in ancient times, when there was neither sugar cane nor sugar beets, honey was the only dessert. The Europeans' quest for honey went so far as to say that rumors of the discovery of large quantities of honey somewhere could make countless Slavs flee the risk of being taken as slaves by the Crimeans and move all the way to the great border areas, accompanied by armed forces to protect them, and the settlements gradually formed a strong line of defense, completely driving the Crimeans out of Russian soil forever - honey changed history.

Even after the advent of the Age of Discovery, the cheaper sugar in desserts was still a luxury for the average person. Sugar is regarded as a precious medicinal herb, and the most famous physician in Arabia wrote in his book that 'sugar cures all diseases', and in the Grand Théâtre de Paris, the key to the sugar cabinet is also kept by the hostess. France was willing to sell the vast expanse of Louisiana, but was unwilling to let go of the few small islands of the Caribbean simply because they could produce sugar; The Victorian British, on the other hand, added sugar to everything they could find, whether it was bread or tea, and they even preferred not to buy bread to satisfy their hunger, but to have a cup of black tea with sugar.

It can be said that this is the grass that grows money, and it will never worry about sales.

Several knights, who were still a little clearer and had not been carried away by the honey, including the knight of Alcoba, exchanged glances with each other, and immediately made a decision: when they returned, they would immediately hack the messenger to death! Corpses fed to dogs! Dog chop it again! Cremation of the corpse! Leave no trouble!

However, this is far from the whole of clover, Count Tang just picked some of these knights can understand and said to these knights, clover is still a leguminous plant - leguminous plant, which means that it is nitrogen-fixing, that is to say, it is green manure, which can be used as a natural fertilizer, and because it absorbs nitrogen in the air, not only will it not lose soil fertility, but also improve the soil. In addition, planting these grasses on fallow land will also prevent the land from being abandoned as before, and it will be easier for grazing livestock to eat up the pastures and cultivate them again the following year.

As for some other places, such as young leaves can be eaten, cooking and pies, the juice squeezed out is rich in vitamins and minerals, comparable to milk can strengthen the body, it is all trivial, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning hahaha.

If the four-leaf clover can bring miracles to the person who finds it, then the clover has completely changed the fate of mankind.

"Now, is there anyone who disagrees with me?"

Count Don looked around, and all he saw was the excited red faces of the knights, and all he heard was the heavy gasps of the knights, and he couldn't help laughing. He believed that if anyone dared to raise the slightest objection now, then this group of knights who had been carried away by honey would definitely be the first to rush out and cut that man into a hundred, a hundred.

The knights shook their heads in unison, and at the same time confirmed their unanimous opinion: although the soul in the Earl's body is sometimes very unreliable, it is always much stronger than his own bosses at critical moments, so it is time to give this devil some respect.

The reaction was, congratulations to Count Don, if he used the detection technique on this group of knights now, then he would find that the knights' favorability of him had increased again......

"That's it! Hurry up and get on the horse! Now is the right time to bring this clover back and plant it, and you will be able to harvest the first jar of honey this year! ”

"Whoa—"
