Seeing the success of the sycophant, the Earl of Duveden grinned and continued: "Because of this, I have specially sent people to study the cultivation methods of these farmers in the kingdom at present, and asked them to summarize and improve them, and now I have finally found a more suitable method -- if it can be popularized in the kingdom, it is possible to increase grain production by 30%!" ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Charles II was a little surprised, he thought it was just a polite flattery, but he didn't expect that there was really dry goods, and he suddenly became interested. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Naturally, Du Weiden would not let go of this opportunity, and he told his opinions on agricultural improvement as if he were offering treasures -- to put it simply, let the whole people replace the current "two-garden system" with the "three-garden system", increase the utilization rate of land, reduce the fallow area, and increase the output.

In fact, this method has been used in a few parts of the kingdom for more than ten years, and it is not a pioneer or invention of Du Verden. He only used data comparisons and experience summaries to confirm that this method is more reasonable - but at the national level, it is indeed a good policy, and if implemented, the rise of national strength is inevitable.

When Charles II heard this, he immediately praised it, and was a little more intoxicated with his decision: "The future of agriculture will be entrusted to the Earl de Haveden." Dare to innovate, and can really make achievements, it is the luck of the Karen Kingdom to have such a minister... The future is a great responsibility, and Count Duveden must grasp it! ”

"For the glory of the Karen Kingdom!"

Du Weiden's face was flushed with excitement, and several nobles behind him who were entrusted with important tasks were also excited.

When Charles II saw that his purpose had been achieved, he smiled and said that he would go back to accompany the child, and then went back to the camp on the other side.

Balancing the situation at home has become an almost instinctive political tactic for him. Charles II was in a good mood when he returned to the camp, and while his eldest son was walking his horse, he walked with him and talked with the prince.

"What do you think of this orc invasion?"

He reached out and touched his son's hair, and found that the other party was about the same height as himself, so he smiled and took the test.

"Father, did the orcs really leave Karen? Or will they come back someday? The kingdoms in the eastern part of the mountains have not moved for too long, and they don't know how they have changed over the years. If we are as strong as Rasiman is, we will face no less pressure. ”

"It's right to be prepared for danger in times of peace." Charles II nodded: "So I have ordered those nobles in the north to organize a defensive line." You have to understand that the whip is on the body before the ox moves forward, and the threat of the orcs is in front of them, and they are really scared. In the future, those orcs will eventually be cleaned up, but under the premise of limited resources, it is the right way to hold everything we can first. ”

"Father, do you mean Evta?"

"That's right, Everta is just the first step."

Charles II walked forward with his hands in his hands, and he was indescribably high-spirited.

*******

In Elson City, Baron Karen looked up at the blue sky above him, and exhaled helplessly.

It was the second day of his arrival in Elson, and after the initial shock had passed, he began to wonder if the owner of the city had remembered his name—that of course, Karen was the first nobleman to be invited to Elson by Roddy himself, even though his family was in ruins and now not as rich as the owner of the tailor shop across the street.

There are many nobles in the Karen Kingdom, and there are many families that have fallen because of their dilapidation. Karen was a viscount, and there was not much left of his father's ancestral land, and unfortunately his father died in a duel with another nobleman...

This kind of thing was too common in aristocratic circles, and because his father duel was for a gambling contract, most of the family fortune was divided up with the gambling contract, leaving only a dilapidated manor in poor Baba for Karen.

Although the manor is comfortable, in these years, unless the big nobles with stable territories, most people in power will basically choose to put themselves within the safety of the city walls. Karen's estate outside the city was neither protected by walls nor guarded by guards, so he was forced to flee his hometown after a few visits by bandits.

And when he came to Tarun Town to look for a living, he was unexpectedly found by several people claiming to be from Elson City, and brought him here directly in the name of "high-paying job with food and lodging".

However, after coming here, Karen found that the lord of the city who had said that he wanted to talk to him never appeared, and he asked the people around him for a long time, but he could not get an answer, so the next day after he woke up, he decided to wander around the city first.

Karen didn't think about leaving, because his room and board were currently free, and if he did, he would starve to death on the way.

There was no shame in stooping over food, and Karen tugged at his somewhat tattered robe, and his eyes scanned around, carefully comparing the differences between the city and the other cities in his impression—and in doing so, he did find a lot of doorways that he hadn't noticed before.

The streets here are very clean and there is hardly any sign of open defecation as all people solve their personal problems in a place called "toilet".

It may not be understood by most modern people... Most of the towns of the Karen Kingdom, and even most of the nobility, have very primitive choices when it comes to "excretion". Both men and women can squat happily as long as they find a place where no one is around--if it is a farmer living in a remote area, it is understandable to be so casual, but many nobles tend to defecate directly in their rooms at home, and then let their servants clean up...

As a result, when walking through most of the cities of the Karen Kingdom, it seems that you can always smell the stench of feces between your noses.

As long as it is a human being, it needs to eat, drink and lazar, but no one has ever thought of dealing with such a thing as "feces". When Clen lived in the castle, the damp and dark rooms would always smell of stench, but for everyone, there was no way to do it.

Some nobles know how to build a special house to excrete, but many nobles solve it very painfully... Their solution was to prepare a few more manors and castles, and when one place was too smelly of self-produced feces to stay, they would go to the next one, and at the same time let the servants clean the rooms they had stayed in before...

The ubiquitous feces on both sides of city streets are nothing new. Why do the rich in a city never like to go to the slums? Because no one cleaned it, it tasted a little spicy after a long time. (To be continued.) )
