Chapter 217: Agriculture
At this moment, the surprise in the heart of the Brown Knight could not be described in words, he looked at the axe and hammer in Hu Ye's hand that was still emitting fighting energy, and checked the broken edge of the big tree, and after a while, Ai Ai said: "Lord, lord, this big tree was cut down by you with your fighting spirit just now?" ”
Hu Ye laughed and said: "Yes, there is no one else here!" ”
"But, but, I just taught you how to use your fighting spirit!" Brown Knight looked incredulous and said, "Could it be that you have learned it before?" ”
Hu Ye shook his head and said, "I can tell you very responsibly that I have never been exposed to Dou Qi before. ”
Brown Knight said with a sluggish expression: "Then how can you show your fighting spirit so quickly?" ”
Hu Ye said with a deep face: "Maybe I'm a genius!" ”
After saying this sentence, Hu Ye swung his axe and hammer and slashed down the tree, easily cutting off the thick trunk each time.
After a dozen slashes, the light on the axe gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared completely. And this time Hu Ye failed to cut down the big tree, and with a muffled sound of "poof", the axe hammer was deeply embedded in the tree, and it took him a lot of effort to pull it out.
And the Brown Knight, who was watching from the sidelines, was already numb. When he was learning Dou Qi, he practiced hard for several years before he gained a sense of qi, and after years of practice, he reached Hu Ye's current level, which was at least ten years before and after.
And Hu Ye only took half a day to reach the same level, so that the Brown Knight couldn't help but ask loudly: Why is the gap between people so big?
Hu Ye put away the axe and hammer, and saw that the Brown Knight was still in a daze, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Why are you stunned, go back, find someone to transport all this wood back, and transport it back as firewood, don't waste it." ”
"Huh? Good! Only then did the Brown Knight come to his senses and follow Hu Ye towards the village. The knight was still thinking about it on the road, and the shock to him was too great, and it took some time to come to terms with the fact.
For the next few days, the villagers were busy.
The village chief of Rice took a dozen of the most experienced farmers in the village to find a place to reclaim new farmland.
Hammond, on the other hand, took the rest of the villagers up the mountain to mine leanbole.
At the end of their labor, the Brown Knights would train thirty or so militiamen for two hours.
Everyone was working hard, but everyone had a smile on their faces. Compared to the days when there was no hope in the past, the villagers still prefer the busy life they have now.
If you want to say that the most free person, I'm afraid it is Hu Ye himself. After all, he was the lord of Shiraishi Village, and the villagers didn't dare to let him work, so he wandered around every day with nothing to do.
Hu Ye came to the edge of the farmland that was being reclaimed, and saw that the village chief of Rice was lighting a fire in the wilderness, burning the weeds and shrubs, and then using a horse to dig deep into the land, and a piece of farmland could be reclaimed.
Seeing Hu Ye coming, the village chief of Rice hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully: "Your lord, welcome to your arrival." ”
To say that at the beginning, the villagers recognized Hu Ye as their lord, and they were a little helpless, but after so many things, they were already happy and convinced of him, so the attitude of the village chief of Rice became more and more polite.
Hu Ye waved his hand casually as before: "You're welcome, I'm just going to take a look at the progress of reclamation." ”
"With the tools made by the horses and dwarves, progress is very fast!" Speaking of this, the village chief of Rice said with a smile on his eyebrows: "In just a few days, more than 100 acres of land have been reclaimed, and before the sowing period, so much more land will definitely be reclaimed!" ”
Hu Ye nodded with satisfaction, and then asked curiously, "What crops will be grown in these fields?" ”
"Of course, most of the farmland is grown with wheat, but there are also some vegetables and so on." The village chief told Hu Ye: "In a few days, the sowing season will be, and as long as the wheat seeds are sown, the harvest will be in a few months." ”
Although Hu Ye was not a farmer, he also felt that there was something wrong with the words of the village chief of Rice, and couldn't help but ask him: "Just just scatter wheat seeds into the ground so casually, and then don't care about anything?" ”
The village chief of Rice said, of course: "Yes, everyone grows wheat like this!" ”
Only then did Hu Ye understand how backward the agricultural technology of World of Warcraft was, and he didn't even understand many basic knowledge, so he shook his head and said: "It's not enough to just do this, first of all, you can't sprinkle seeds casually when sowing wheat, but you should sprinkle them in rows to ensure that there is a certain distance between the two rows of wheat, so that all wheat can have enough light and grow much better!" ”
Hu Ye's statement was very novel, which made the village chief of Rice stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized: "I also remembered when you said this, in the past, the wheat on the periphery grew well, and the growth in the middle of the field was poor, it turned out to be because of the light, oops, why didn't I think of it before!" ”
Seeing that the village chief of Rice was persuaded by himself, Hu Ye continued: "In addition to sowing seeds in rows, you also need to fertilize!" ”
"Fertilization?" Chief Rice didn't understand again.
"Fertilization is the use of human and animal excrement, mixed with a lot of water after decay, and watering ......crops," Hu Ye first explained the meaning of fertilization, and then said to the village chief of Rice: "This can increase the fertility of the land, so that crops can grow faster and bigger, and the harvest will be better." ”
The village chief of Rice was very puzzled that Hu Ye wanted to use that kind of dirty thing to water the crops, but he was a lord after all, so he could only laugh and listen.
Hu Ye knew that he didn't believe his words just by looking at the expression of the village chief of Rice, so he said with a straight face: "You will do what I say, and all the wheat will be sown according to the method I said." As for fertilization...... Start by comparing two adjacent fields and you'll soon understand the benefits of fertilizing! ”
Since Hu Ye said so, the village chief of Rice could only agree.
After solving the problem of fertilization, Hu Ye looked at the river not far away and asked, "Are there fish in the river?" ”
One villager replied, "Yes, it's big, fat, and it tastes very good!" ”
"It's good to have fish!" Hu Ye was satisfied: "We can dig a big pond near the river and fill it with water to raise fish." The more and more fish are raised, the bigger they get, and there are endless fish in the village! ”
This is just a very common practice in the main world, but in the eyes of Village Chief Rice and others, it is undoubtedly a major invention, Village Chief Rice nodded hurriedly and said: "This method is good, after the land is reclaimed, I will immediately find someone to dig a pond!" ”
In Hu Ye's view, the agricultural development of Baishi Village is quite smooth, but the mining speed of Baishan is somewhat unsatisfactory. More than ten days have passed, and a total of more than 100 pounds of leukobole has been mined, bringing more than 3,000 points of experience to Hu Ye.
This is not to say that Hammond and the others do not work hard, but there are too few people, and the speed of mining lepobole is too slow to rely on dozens of people to rely entirely on manpower.
