Chapter 12 The Field System
It has become an indisputable fact that he has become a member of this world, and Meron simply does not think about anything else, and first raises the standard of living.
Don't wait to die to see your former friends, talk about yourself and become a barbarian in the barbaric era, and you can probably be laughed to death by those grandsons.
If you want to improve your standard of living, you must first change the world, otherwise you really don't know what you can enjoy in the era of civilization in the Stone Age and Bronze Age.
The level of civilization in this world is very vague, and Meron has not studied this aspect in the previous world, so he does not know the exact division.
From the perspective of the family, it is in the transition period from a matrilineal society to a slave society.
In terms of tools, in the Bronze Age, or even more advanced, Lola's kitchen knives were made of pig iron.
But whether it is bronze or iron, it is very rare, and in the whole of Edinburgh, Alina has a small bronze short sword, Lola has a kitchen knife, and the guards have a little bit in their hands.
There was no metal else, not even a nail or a lump of iron.
Breeding, sorry, almost none, except for pack cattle, it is estimated that 'free-range' rats can be found.
As far as agriculture and animal husbandry are concerned, this is much more backward.
The planting industry is as if it had just been discovered, and it is completely in the spring to find a piece of land, dig a pit and bury the seeds, and come to harvest it in the autumn, during which there is no care.
This is also the reason why Meron did not recognize the field, the grass is thicker and more vigorous than the crops, and the ground has not been trimmed in any way......
There is no need to go into detail about this, if you want to change all this, you can't succeed overnight, and after thinking about it for a long time, Meron decided to start with agriculture and animal husbandry, especially agriculture, which is imminent.
After talking to the people in the castle about his 'idea', Meron lost the desire to continue, and simply sent someone to inform Myron Colby to come back and go to the field tomorrow to teach on the spot.
Myron Kirby is a declining aristocrat who is worse than the decline of the Yalina family, and his father lost all his nobility, and by his generation he became a standard commoner, and by chance he defected to Bent.
In Meron's impression, he was in his forties, and he looked quite old, as if he was fifty years old, not to mention that this old man was inconspicuous, and he was a well-known man of culture within the territory of Bant.
Meron became viscount, and Myron Colby was assigned to Meron by Bent and became the chief clerk of Edinburgh.
This clerk is not a petty clerk, the position is second only to Obardon, and the rank is one level higher than O'Neid, in charge of administrative logistics, field taxes, and so on.
"Myron Colby, you should understand what I mean." Early in the morning, he took people to the field, explained and demonstrated on the spot for a while, and Meron turned around and asked.
It is obviously easier to communicate with people with a bit of cultural background, and O'Neid and the others still don't understand it for the second time, but Myron Colby said thoughtfully: "Lord Viscount means that the soil should be loosened before planting next spring, so that the roots of the crops will grow more easily?" ”
It seems that the old man really understood, Meron smiled and nodded.
"Now it's imperative to have people uproot all but the crops, and then loosen the surface of the soil and build small earthen dams around the fields to divert water for irrigation?" Myron Colby then asked.
"Yes, you have to pay a little more attention to irrigation, you can't have too much, if there is enough rain, it's not necessary." Meron nodded again, then added.
Myron Colby frowned, and as she thought about it, she was clearly trying to digest the information.
Meron didn't bother with this, after all, although these seem simple, they are far beyond the level of civilization in this world.
After about a minute, Myron Kirby came to his senses and saluted Meron respectfully: "Dear Viscount, although I don't know what it will be like to do this, I can feel that the autumn harvest will definitely be different from previous years. ”
"Well, you first plan what I said today, and strive to implement it as soon as possible. There's a lot more to keep you busy, so stay at the castle during this time.
If you can't get busy, you can find a few assistants to help, and the treatment is according to the standard of the castle valet first. ”
Except for the spring planting and the autumn harvest, Myron Kirby doesn't have many things, and he usually doesn't live in the castle, so he can come regularly to deal with things, so Meron has such an arrangement.
"Yes, Lord Viscount!"
I was anxious to eat hot tofu, and after arranging these, Meron planned to go home.
However, after taking two steps, Meron remembered something important, and said to Myron Kirby: "There is another very important thing, the entire territory must be inhabited by the construction of toilets, and you will start gathering people to prepare this today." ”
When I went out to see Yalina hunting that day, I didn't find anything, and yesterday the whole castle had a stomachache, Meron realized the importance of the toilet, and today I walked on the road, and I know the seriousness of the situation.
Walking on the street, you can see urine and urine everywhere, and if you are not careful, you can step on a 'landmine', and there is no shortage of fresh gold mountains in the middle of the road.
According to Meron's plan, there will be more and more people here, and then there will be more!
As a civilized person in the new century, it is absolutely unbearable.
Moreover, in this world where there are no fertilizers and other fertilizers, this is a good organic fertilizer, and it must not be wasted like this.
"Toilets?"
Myron Kirby looked at Meron with a confused expression, even Yalina was no exception, obviously very unfamiliar with the word toilet, and had no concept of it.
In desperation, Meron shrugged his shoulders and explained, "It's the place to untie your hands." A pit was dug underneath and built on top to look like two thatched huts. The left is male, the right is female, and when you get back to the castle, I'll draw you a picture and build it. ”
"It means that men and women will be together when they break up in the future?" Before Meron could elaborate on the benefits of the toilet, Alina spoke.
This was the first time that Yalina took the initiative to talk to Meron, which surprised Meron.
But looking at her slightly frowning eyebrows, Meron almost didn't laugh out loud, obviously this girl didn't understand the concept of toilets.
"It's a location, but not together. The two houses are not interconnected, and there is a thick earthen wall in the middle, so even if men and women go at the same time, no one can see anyone, and it does not affect! ”
"Cut! It seems that someone rarely steals what it seems. ”
Alina spat lightly and twisted her head to the side, her face flushed slightly, but she lost the initial nervousness.
If it's really as Meron said, it's not unacceptable, although the distance is so close, it's a little embarrassing to think about, but it's definitely safe and convenient compared to a small forest or something.
The group talked and laughed and marched towards Edinburgh, of course, most of them were Meron who said that others listened.
There are still many things that need to be reformed in the future, and now we will say it in an imaginary way, give these people a preventive shot, and save them from being blind when the time comes.
Getting closer and closer to Edinburgh, Meron suddenly stopped and made a booing motion.
"Woo woo woo ......"
A crying sound drifted in the wind, and Meron frowned.
The sound was coming from Edinburgh, and it wasn't the sound of one or two people crying, there were women and children, mixed with the shouts of men.
The sound was very loud, and because of the tailwind, O'Neid and the others could faintly hear it when it was quiet.
"It's not good, there's an accident in the town, hurry back and take a look."
Alina and O'Neid were the first to react, and they didn't bother to ask Meron for advice, beckoned to the members of the escort and hurried towards Einburgh.
