Chapter X
The farmer shouted a trumpet and directed the old ox to pull the plough slowly through the field, leaving behind the ground that had been turned over deep ravines. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's incredible!" said to the slender man beside him, who was the eldest son of the late Knight Divor Os, and his heir, gazing at the sight in disinterest, admiring it again and again, and finally said to the thin man beside him, who was dressed in thick clothes, even in the already warm weather, "Lord Crick, you are the wisest man I have ever met!"
Crick Keane smiled, coughed twice, and then said lightly: "It's nothing, it's the lord's duty to let the farmers harvest more and make the lords live better." ”
After the great war a few months earlier, he fell ill when he returned to his hometown. After inspection, it turned out that it was because he was mixed into the battle of the Holy Spirit and the Divine Envoy level, and he was cursed by divine power while lying down in the battle.
This level of curse is very difficult to exorcise, either by holding a large-scale magic ceremony, or by finding a few masters at the level of the high priest of the big church. Either one was beyond the power of Barony Keane, so he could only be so sick and slow to delay.
Fortunately, the principal of the Masquerade of the Void Mask Church in Keene City happened to be a pastor who mastered the two fields of "life" and "healing", and with his help, Crick's condition was at least stabilized, and although his body was a little weak, at least it would not continue to deteriorate.
Crick felt that this was enough, and after that earth-shattering battle, he was lucky enough to be able to talk and laugh so much. Quest for more...... It's a bit greedy.
He had witnessed the fall of a true god and the death of countless oracles. As for the deaths of mortals, they are simply too numerous to count. It is said that there is a serious shortage of city guards on the Eagle Kingdom's side. In contrast, he was nothing more than a little sick. The body is slightly weak, and he coughs twice from time to time and has a low-grade fever. And what is it?
Because after all, he is "fleeing the battlefield", he rarely shows up in front of people, and the external saying is that he is "sick in bed". The title of Baron Keane has long been handed over to his sister Anna, and at present, he is like the black hand behind the story, hiding behind the scenes, promoting the development of Barony Keane.
Anna is naturally very happy that her brother can come back alive, although there is not one in the army that was undoubtedly sent to death at the beginning who can really come back alive, even the knight Divol died on the battlefield, but as long as her brother can come back. She didn't care about anything else.
In the days when my brother is away, the little girl who barely supports the family business is really physically and mentally exhausted. She never thought it would be so hard to be a baron, and she never thought there were so many things to deal with. Even with the "Baron's Concise Handbook" left by her brother as a reference, and even with the assistance of Leyden's butler, she felt dizzy, and often fell into bed when she was busy with work, and slept soundly until the next morning.
If Crick doesn't come back, maybe this little girl will grow up in hardship and eventually grow into a strong woman. But now that the big tree that can keep out the wind and rain has returned. Naturally, she became a deer sleeping peacefully under the tree, as long as she left everything to her brother.
In this regard, Crick could only smile helplessly.
It's a good thing that my sister isn't as greedy for power as in some bloody stories. But she is also the heir of a noble family after all! So what about the Keanes?
Although he is not really Crick Keane, since he inherited the identity and inheritance of the young baron, he is obliged to carry the burden of the Keane family. In his work plan. Naturally, there is also the training of Anna Keane to be a qualified heir.
...... In the end, he crossed it out.
Rotten wood cannot be carved.
Instead of counting on this younger sister who is just over ten years old, it is better to get married and have children as soon as possible. Hurry up and educate your children!
With this in mind, Crick held a low-key wedding. The former maid Emmiway, the girl who didn't have much talent other than a hundred loyalty, became the former Baroness Keane.
Of course, Emmiway is very happy, whether she can become a baroness or not, in her opinion, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that Master Crick likes herself!
For a diehard who is simply brainwashed, there is nothing happier than this!
There are people worthy of allegiance, allegiance is to the person you love, and at the same time you are still the person who loves you, and the three joys coincide together, it is really a happy time like a dream!
Well, although after listening to her exclamation, Crick secretly took the time to investigate to see if there were any white scientists in his territory who needed to be found to be killed, but it turned out that he was too worried.
In his current state of "sick in bed", it is unlikely that he will meet any juniors, and with Emmyway's average intelligence of only a normal person, it is also very difficult to be a qualified Bichi, and the expansion film "White Album: The Keane Family" will never be staged.
What Crick really needs to care about now is not to beware of girls who might come out and yell "why are you so skilled?" but to continue the agrarian reforms that were interrupted because of his own expedition.
Traditional farmers are not in the habit of farming, they scatter the seeds in the soil in the spring, and then either water a little when the soil is dry, or pull out a little when there are too many weeds, and there is basically nothing else to do, but to concentrate on herding sheep or doing something else.
In Crick's opinion, this practice is simply a tragedy!
Even if he is just an art student who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, he knows that this kind of farming method is absolutely not good!
So he started experimenting again, this time on the arable land.
"Dig ditches into the fields, arrange the seeds one by one in the ditches, cover them with a little soil, and finally water them until they germinate?" said Master Darmswade, who had listened to his plan and helped him with his research, "Isn't that too much trouble?"
"It's not too much of a hassle. "This method, combined with the fertilizer I added to the fields in the fall, should be able to greatly increase the harvest." ”
"But...... When it comes to this 'cultivated land', the amount of work is too much. "Few farmers have time to finish the job before the end of the planting time. ”
Crick was stunned for a moment. After recalling it carefully, it seems that it should be ploughed with a plow.
It's just that. What to do with a plow?
He really doesn't understand this.
He told Master Darm Wade about his idea of the plow, and the wise magician had no clue either. So he gathered all the high-ranking officials and professionals in the territory and held a special discussion.
At the seminar, Nikolai and Thomas proposed two different design proposals. Nikolai's designs are more intricate and elaborate and seem tall at first glance, while Thomas's designs are rustic, but they seem to be okay.
After using magic to make the "plow" designed by the two men on the spot, even Thomas had to admit that Nikolai's design was better than his design. But when it came to productivity, it was Thomas's design that prevailed in the end.
...... It can't be helped, the thing Nikolai designed takes five times as long to build and mana as Thomas's. Worse. Even Thomas, the most powerful spellcaster in the entire territory, and Nikolai himself who designed it, could not make it, and the only one who could make this thing was Master Damwade, who had three abilities: a scholar, an alchemist, and a mage.
In contrast, Thomas's design could be completed by an ordinary intermediate mage, with more than twenty pairs completed on the same day, and on the fourth day, all the farmers in the realm were given "ploughs", either by human or animal power. "Ploughing the fields" began.
That was a week ago, and now the farmland in the entire territory has been basically ploughed, and many places have even finished sowing and watering, just waiting for the seeds to germinate.
Crick and Charles were watching at the moment. It's almost the last field that hasn't been ploughed yet. The owner of this field was a soldier who died in battle, and the farmers and cattle who ploughed the fields at the moment were all aided by the territory. In his children grow up. This support will continue until the whole family can be sustained.
"You are truly generous and benevolent. A lord with a human touch. "Watch as the soldier's wife and child carefully sow the seeds, and then the skilled farmer sent by the territory helps them cover and water the soil. Charles couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that there would be a nobleman in the world who cares about the common people like you!"
"Haha, aren't you a nobleman yourself. Crick smiled and said, "Both you and your father are people who care about the common people." ”
Speaking of his father, Charles's expression was slightly gloomy, but there was a longing glint in his eyes.
"Father, he...... It's the hero I worship. I still have a lot to learn if I want to be like him!"
Crick patted him on the shoulder and nodded slightly, remembering the bloody battle with Devor.
When did that guy Divol fall?
Is it when you rush into the enemy's ranks, when you hold your ground, when you are drawn into the battle of the Divine Legions, when you charge with the Holy Spirit, or when you are besieged after the Divine Messengers disappear?
He tried to remember, but he couldn't think clearly.
Memories of that battle are both clear and vague. He remembered the brutality of the battle, the blood, the clashing of weapons, the screams, the roars, the despair, the rage, and the fear, but he could no longer remember many of the details. It hadn't been long since the pages of memory had begun to fade.
After pondering for a while, he finally sighed secretly.
In any case, Divol must have followed him to the enemy line. For that alone, you are worthy of a warrior!
"The dead are gone, but the living still have to work hard. He looked up into the distance, and in the spring breeze, there were already many wildflowers blooming, "Divor, he laid the foundation for this land, and you will definitely be able to build on the foundation he laid." ”
"Hmm!"
"Do better than him, and carry forward the Ouss family from generation to generation!"
"Hmm!"
"I'm going to keep trying, Divor, Spencer...... And those brave warriors, thanks to them, I can stand here alive, if I don't work hard enough, I won't have the face to see them after I die......"
Crick looked up at the blue sky and smiled. (To be continued.) )
