William and Old John strolled through the small village of Nisse.

William was calm, but John Sr. was worried.

"Old John, I'm going to set up a convoy, and you're in charge of recruiting people. The recruited people should not be too old or too young, it is best to be between 15 and 25 years old, have no physical disabilities, have a relatively strong physique, and it is best to have relatives and family members in the village! The reward is what I just said to Kerry, 25 Poole copper coins a day, and, food! Let's recruit 10 people first! William told Old John the terms of recruitment for the Escort in a hurry.

"Yes, Lord Baron!" Old John frowned and replied, "It's just ......"

Old John stopped talking.

"What's the matter, my excellent butler, is there anything we can't say between us?" William turned his head and looked at Old John's face.

Old John, when he first came to the village of Nisse, was in high spirits, but now he has become sad again, and his brow is furrowed.

"Lord Baron, I think you can moderately reduce the treatment of the escorts!" Old John suggested.

"Why? They will be responsible for protecting the safety of the entire village in the future, and I don't think this is a high salary! William wondered.

"Lord Baron, I am obliged to remind you that we did not have a single income until the harvest moon arrived, on the contrary, we have been spending!" Old John spoke his heart out of his mind.

"Didn't we sell some stuff too?" William retorted.

"Yes, Lord Baron, everything is under your sight. We sold 100 brooms, 80 dustpans, and 120 baskets, for a total of 1,000 Poole coins. Old John nodded, like a treasure.

"So, we still have an income!" William smiled slightly.

"But, Lord Baron, we spend more!"

"We have already spent 1,146 Poole copper coins by buying gold silk grass from the villagers, and we have spent another 192 Poole copper coins when we recruited villagers to weave them."

"My lord, we didn't get a penny in our accounts, but we lost 338 Poole copper coins."

Old John said, "Also, Lord Baron, you let the villagers dig a pit, and it will cost you 50 copper pooles. ”

"The villagers picked up a basket of feces and gave them 2 copper pools. The villagers were like crazy, and they had all scavenged the land, and sent baskets and baskets into the holes, and the holes had been piled up! ”

Old John's brow furrowed deeper with each of his words, but the smile on William's face was even brighter.

This discouraged Old John, "Lord Baron, even the untouchables avoid these disgusting excrements, and even the most stupid lords will not spend a lot of ...... Forgive me, Lord Baron, I was only momentarily agitated and did not mean to offend you! ”

Old John suddenly realized that he was not scolding William for being stupid, and he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly admitted his mistake.

"I'm not angry, old John, on the contrary, I know you're doing it for my good! That's why I asked you to do this position, you are a competent housekeeper! Yes, I never doubted that! William said in a calm tone.

"But, Lord Baron, they are of no use, and on the contrary, we have paid for them 1,000 Poole Copper Coins." Old John said distressedly.

"Who says they're useless? Old John! William laughed, "Look, it's just a little bit of money......"

"But, Lord Baron, 1,000 Poole Copper Coins is not a lot...... Old John pointed right, "wasting is not a lord's good habit!" “

"Well, old John, not a little bit of money." Looking at Old John's more serious look, William was a little helpless, "But didn't we harvest a clean piece of land?" ”

"When you walk, you don't have to worry about stepping on something disgusting, and you don't have to worry about smelling a unique smell everywhere you go. Look closely, old John, this land, with the fragrance of grass, is as clean as the blue sky! William reveled.

"But it cost you a thousand Poole coins, and will continue to take every Poole of your lovely." Old John was still dwelling on this.

"It won't be too much, old John, the whole village's stock has been poached by the crazy villagers, and now it's time for a long stream! Besides, these little things are not useless! ”

"Who would want these things?" Old John smiled wryly, thinking that William was lying to him!

"Nature wants these things, and it pays us well!" William said solemnly.

"Nature? This is not a good time to joke, Lord Baron. Old John said seriously.

"It's true, old John! The power of nature is so wonderful, it is these little things that no one looks at, but they can make the barren land fertile, so that the output of the land becomes more abundant, not to mention double the yield, but it is still no problem to increase the yield by a few percent! William said lightly.

But these words set off turmoil in Old John's heart.

In this era, the production of land is related to the fertility of the land.

In order to maintain the fertility of the land, most peasants or serfs adopted the two-nursery system, that is, the land was divided into two parts, about one-third of the land was left fallow and allowed to be overgrown with weeds, and two-thirds of the land was cultivated.

If this is not done, after several rounds of rye planting, the land will become barren, and the amount of rye produced will be very small and of very poor quality!

The fertility of the land in the small village of Nisse is okay, and the ratio of seeds to harvest is about 1 to 4, which means that 1 pound of seeds can harvest 4 pounds.

This harvest percentage has never changed!

The Viscount Greon also knew a little bit about it, and he was going to harvest the villagers of the small village of Nisse according to this harvest, keeping his own best interests and ensuring the survival of the villagers of the small village of Nisse.

Although it is hard to survive!

Not serfs, but suffering more than serfs.

Most of the villagers in Nisse are struggling to survive.

"Lord Baron, are you telling the truth?" Old John was still in disbelief.

"Of course! I've done the experiments myself! "William is sure that this is basic common sense!

William also observed that where there is natural fertilizer such as manure, the weeds do grow a little more luxuriantly.

After receiving William's affirmative reply, Old John hurriedly looked around.

"Old John, what are you looking at?"

"Lord Baron, such an important secret cannot be known to those untouchables! They're going to go crazy, and the other lords will know about it. Untouchables can't keep secrets! Old John looked cautious.

William smiled, "Old John, please, it's not an important thing!" ”

"Oh my God!" Old John's voice was a few degrees higher, but he quickly reacted, looked around, and found no villagers, and then relieved himself slightly.

Only then did he say to William, "Lord Baron, this is an important secret that can become the Dicass family, and it must be passed down from generation to generation, so it can't be so casual!" ”

William's casual attitude was the only thing that Old John didn't think William was good about.

These weaving techniques are passed on at will, so that the villagers can learn it, but the secret that can increase the grain yield of the land is so casual, it is too much!

Old John felt that it was necessary and responsible for educating William well.

Many times, a lord who is not very generous is a competent lord.
