Chapter 251: Agricultural Issues
On the volcanic island, Adès and Nat walk between Qianmo, the canals in the distance, in the golden wheat fields, the breeze blows through the ripe wheat, like the waves of the sea, the joy of the harvest season and the beautiful scenery in front of them, which makes people feel intoxicated.
Adès walked through the field, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wheat field in front of him, as if he was arguing with Nath, and when he was excited, he also ripped off an ear of wheat and said to Nath: "You can see the fruit above, and you can see it when you compare the ears of wheat in the northern part of the continent, and the yield of wheat here is far less than that over there, especially in the Amm area south of Candlefort, where the wheat produced there is at least one-third more than what we see in front of us now." ”
Nat was speechless, he was not an agricultural druid, although he had some experience in growing plants, but he really didn't understand wheat fields, and could only listen to what Adès was saying.
"Wheat is really not suitable for us here, we belong to the hot and rainy tropical rainforest area, wheat is suitable for planting in temperate areas, it is best to snow in a place, they can produce 1,000 to 2,000 catties of wheat per acre, and we are at most 900 catties, which is far behind. (Note: This is an acre, and one acre equals about six acres)
Nat patted Adès on the shoulder, soothed him and said, "There is no way to do it, what can we grow besides wheat?" ”
Ades shook his head and sighed, and said in a somewhat depressed voice: "I heard from those who imported goods from the East that the people over there grow a crop called "grass" or "rice", which is different from wheat. It doesn't need to be ground into powder to be directly practical, the key is to be suitable for the climate we have here. In places with similar temperatures as ours, we can achieve double cropping a year, and the yield per mu will at least double that of now. ”
Nat didn't quite believe Adès's words. He had said this before, but there had been no movement, and he had not seen any seeds, and everyone thought that Ades had been deceived by those merchants who traded between the East and the West, and who would brag about it, but he didn't see the real thing, and no one believed it.
Adès also knew that Nat didn't believe it, which is why he was down, and he entrusted a bounty mission with Ambow in Black Iron Harbor. Anyone who brings back seeds and planting techniques from the East will be rewarded with high rewards, and the seeds will be purchased at a high price, but months have passed, and there has been no news.
Nat glanced back, and saw that Bernie had already directed the peasants to the edge of the field to harvest the crop, and he pulled Adès and said, "Let's go out, don't stay here and hinder the peasants' work." And don't worry too much about it, now that the crater lake has been erected, you can see the canals that crisscross the fields, and that is already your greatest contribution to the territory. ”
It's been three months since Ades set up the magic circle of the old crater lake. It had been half a year since he last returned to the Holy Residence, and this was the first harvest of farmland on the volcanic island, so as the actual owner of the island. He had to pay attention to it, and that's why he had today's field trip.
Nat said as he walked, "You didn't just set up a magic circle to provide water. Irrigation water supply was also laid, and a large collection of books was collected. Sort out a variety of agricultural techniques for farmers to test, as a lord, you have done enough and good, don't force yourself too much, be patient. ”
Adès breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It has been almost three hundred years since the southern forests were developed, but in addition to providing raw materials and supplies for passing ships, whether it is the skills of craftsmen or the cultivation of farmers, they are still the same as those on the mainland, and there are no local conditions at all.
If the population does not come up, no one will open up the land, a large amount of land will be abandoned there, and it will not be able to become wealth, and the peasants will be poor and the lords will be poor, and this is a vicious circle. ”
When the two of them reached the edge of the field, Bernie came up to ask for instructions, and after bowing slightly to his teacher and lord, he asked, "It is possible to arrange for the farmer to harvest, but it will take a long time to harvest and thresh, and it may take a long time." ”
After Bernie occupied the volcanic island, his mind changed a lot, and he no longer had the mind of competing with Ades for who was the leader of the young generation in the Southern Forest, and completely put his position under Ades.
After a few months of observation, Cardinal sent him to the volcanic island to help Adès manage the island's affairs, and explained to Nat that when he had enough experience in management, he would be assigned to the county of Navabira.
To the north of the Anslow family's territory is also a large forest, where Bernie can establish a stronghold and become the administrator there.
So in the past few months, Bernie has been very attentive to the affairs of the territory, and he has constantly consulted Xena to learn how to handle affairs.
Adès nodded, signaled that the harvest could begin, and then said to Bernie: "Mr. Cardinal has told me about you, and when the farmland here is harvested, and the affairs of the island are over, then you can go to Navabila County, where I also have a copper mine, which borders the forest, and you go there to take charge for a while, and then you can establish a stronghold with my territory." ”
Adès discussed this matter with Nat, there is no forest on the island, and you can only learn how to manage it here, but how to deal with the relationship between people and the forest, you still need to go to the field to learn how to deal with it, so the best place is the village under the copper mine, where people and the forest interact, and it is suitable for Bernie to go there.
Bernie smiled happily and said gratefully, "Thank you, Adès. ”
Adès patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Everyone is a member of the Holy House, they are all brothers and sisters, if you need my help, just open your mouth and don't see outside." ”
The status is different, and the way everyone interacts has also changed, Bernie used to be able to talk to Ades on an equal footing, but now he can only look up and get along with Ades with a humble attitude.
In the end, Adès and Nat did not wait for the results of the yield in the farmland, because the servant came to tell Molly that Molly had come by boat, and Adès had to hurry back, and then he and Evis were going to hand over the affairs of the island to Molly, because Adès finally made up his mind to go to Ruren.
Before I knew it, half a year had passed since the unicorn queen descended, and everyone still had plenty of time, but Mia's time was different, and she didn't have so much half a year to wait.
