The next morning, all the people in the village began to work. The women breed with their children, and the men plow the ground. To tell the truth, the farming tools here are very backward, except for a light plough with poor cultivation results, there is only a hoe as a farming tool. The harvesting scythe is a long-handled scythe, which is very inconvenient to use. Angelia asked Count Henry to find someone who knew how to carpentry, and it turned out that Steward James actually had a good carpentry job - mainly because the furniture in the castle was broken, and there was no money to find a carpenter to repair it, so the old butler had to do it himself, and as a result, he had a good carpentry skill.

Angelia found a few teenagers about ten years old to help James, ploughing the land, this kind of heavy work, the teenagers do quite a lot of effort, and the results are not great, but do carpentry work, because the teenagers have flexible brains and flexible hands, the efficiency is much faster.

Angelia was on the sidelines, and James and the boys were carpentering, and it took three days to make a zigzag plow. Quyuan plough is a plough invented in the Tang Dynasty of the flower country, and it is still widely used until the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. The advantages of the Quyuan plough are very many, and once it is taken out and used, it stunned all the soil buns in the territory. The men scrambled to use the curved plow, and they almost fought. It was Steward James who said that he would continue to make the waddling plow, and the men stopped for the time being, and the Earl of Henry assigned the first wedge plow to a family to use first.

The best way to use the zigzag plough is to pull it from the ox in front and the man to manipulate it from behind, but the village is so poor that there is not even a single ox, so the zigzag plough can only be pulled by people. Two people pulling the plough in front and one person in the back operated it more than ten times faster than they could dig with a hoe, and the effect was amazing.

After successfully making a curved plow, it doesn't take much trouble to make the next curved plow. James and the boys picked up speed and made a zigzag plough in one day. Ten days later, although not every family had a quyuan plow, everyone had already cultivated the land in the village, and even under the guidance of Angelia, dozens of acres of wasteland had been reclaimed.

The next step is planting. Barley and soybeans were interplanted in one field, but they were unharmed, and with the simple fertilization and irrigation made by the Angelian leaders, they grew very well, and the leaders were amazed. They are experienced farmers who can judge the amount of harvest based on the growth of the crop, and sure enough, as Angelia says, by the time the harvest comes, the yield will be greater than their previous harvest, at least double.

"Lord Andrew, the experience you have passed on to the farmers is so useful. Although I don't know much about the affairs of the farmland, I can see that the harvest after the harvest is definitely quite large. With these harvests, no one will starve to death this winter. ”

Angelia asked, "Do people starve to death every winter?" ”

Count Henry sighed and said: "Not only in winter, but throughout the year, there are no immortals, but in winter there is the least food, and the number of starvation is the largest. Most of the deaths were elderly people or young children. There is no way, their corpses are weak and not laborers, they are not of much help to the family, they can't get food, they can only starve to death. This year is good, the harvest is more, there is more food, and with the surplus food, the elderly and children can get a mouthful of food every day, and they should be able to survive the winter. ”

"How can one bite of food be enough? Well, before winter, I'll take you on another hunt, and I'll hunt a few more wild boars and come back to stockpile. “

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Henry was overjoyed.

Angelia stood up and went out to see the potatoes she had planted in the yard. In the same way, she only has one potato, and she has to grow a certain amount of it before giving it to someone else to grow. At the beginning, Henry and James watched Angelia plant potatoes, they didn't know potatoes, and thought that Angelia was planting some ornamental plants, but now that the potatoes have sprouted and grown a lot, the more they look at them, the less they think potatoes look like ornamental plants, and they can't help but be curious.

"My lord, what is this plant you planted in your yard?" Count Henry asked curiously.

"It's potatoes, a crop that can be eaten." Angelia told Count Henry about the benefits of potatoes. Count Henry is stunned, there is still such a fetish in the world? The yield per mu is seven or eight hundred catties, which is ten times the yield per mu of the rest of the crops. With this food, will anyone still go hungry? Surely they are well fed every day.

Count Henry looked at Angelia as if he were watching a god come into the world: "Lord Andrew, are you an angel?" Was God sent to save us? ”

"No, I'm not an angel, I'm human, a human like you."

"But you are so powerful and know so much, I am afraid that His Holiness the Pope and His Majesty the King do not know as much as you." The Earl of Henry said that although his family was poor, as an earl, he had met His Majesty the King when he was a child.

Angelia said: "That's because I have learned a lot and have seen a lot of knowledge, I came from the East, and I have seen many powerful countries in the East, and their culture and agricultural development are stronger than here. In the eastern countries, although there are no potatoes, their yield per mu can reach one or two hundred catties. The Quyuan plough was invented by the Orientals hundreds of years ago......"

Speaking of which, Angelia remembered that there were no potatoes in the flower country at this time. There will be a lot of famine in this era, and if there are no potatoes, how many people will starve to death! Angelia decided to return to the Central Plains after a while, bring the potatoes back, and spread the word about the interplanting method around her. Well, although she is not from the country of flowers, she has lived in the country of flowers as soon as she came to the earth, and her feelings for the country of flowers are deeper than those of other countries, so she naturally hopes to see the country of flowers strong, and see that the people of flowers do not suffer so much.

"O Orient, I remember, paper was invented by Orientals." Earl Henry said suddenly.

"Yes, it was invented by the Oriental Flower Growing Country." Angelia was faintly proud, "Do you know the porcelain and silk of the East?" It was shipped from the country where flowers were grown. ”

"I know, I know. The porcelain and silk were so beautiful and expensive that only kings and nobles could own one or two. Earl Henry said in admiration, "Lord Andrew, can you tell me about the countries of the East?" Is it gold everywhere? ”

"The kingdom of Buddha is full of gold."

"What is the Buddha Kingdom?" Earl Henry heard another unfamiliar word and asked curiously.

"The Buddha Kingdom is a country of religious legends, similar to the existence of heaven." Angelia replied that she was in a good mood and introduced Count Henry in detail to the ancient flower country.
