57 Increased production
After a series of agricultural technology reforms, the grain harvest in Brad Territory has increased dramatically this year!
Even the knights, who were not very interested in the crops, talked to each other that they had never seen such a good harvest, and that it was almost as long as Abraham's day! Of course, it is not comparable to the ancient times, when the hearts of the people were pure and devout to believe in the gods, so at that time they did not have to cultivate, and the seeds would automatically jump into the land, grow ears of grain, and the grain would be themselves
Run down from the straw and thresh into the warehouse......
Hearing their discussion, Luo Yi turned his head silently.
Only six seeds were harvested......
Although, this has already surpassed the level of agriculture in Western Europe in the 18th century......
However, even in the northern part of ancient China, the ratio of seed to harvest could reach 1:20, while in the south it could reach 1:40......
This year, the harvest of Brad's territory is, in the eyes of a Chinese, just a little better than the absolute harvest.
However, because of this bumper harvest, there is one problem that can be considered temporarily alleviated.
The mother "accidentally" crushed her child to death when she was sleeping, and it was all of a sudden.
After she ordered Mrs. Hansen to be sterilized before delivery, the number of babies in Brad's territory suddenly increased considerably, and then every few days there was a mother who "accidentally" rolled over and "crushed" the child to death when she was breastfeeding at night.
The priest knew the real reason, but it was more true that this kind of thing would be difficult for everyone, so he prayed a few words to the babies and let the mothers go.
Now that the harvest is in sight, this kind of thing is gone, and he is greatly relieved.
Although, it seems that there are some strange rumors that he is a priest with magical powers, who casts spells to shelter the wind and rain in Brad's territory, and brings a good harvest, but seeing that the harvest can bring more income to the church, he has no reason to avoid these rumors.
Historically, things such as burning witches have always happened in famine years.
Burn to death those who are old and useless.
And now it's a bumper harvest, everyone pinched their fingers and counted that they could eat a good meal after the harvest, and they could buy more things, everyone was happy, a group of kind, and the children did something that they usually begged for, and now they were just scolded twice by their parents.
Even the newly moved pagan family was somewhat more pleasing to their eyes, and the gaze that looked at them was no longer gloomy and ominous.
In times of trouble, the infidels are unlucky, and the old and useless are exposed as witches and burned on the fire to save food.
And now, it's rosy time.
Luo Yi saw the harvest and built the barn early, and the peasants had surplus grain to sell, so she bought it with silver, and the merchants were not allowed to buy grain in Brad's territory.
At harvest time, merchants buy grain at a low price, and when it is time to sell grain at a high price to exploit the peasants, it was very common in BC, and she did not want the peasants in her territory to suffer this loss in vain.
It is not without reason that successive dynasties have suppressed merchants.
Greece, because of its mountainous terrain and lack of land, grows cash crops such as grapes and olives, and sells expensive wine and olive oil abroad, because they are facing the Mediterranean, a large tub so calm that there are no tides, and Egypt, the granary, that can be exchanged for grain cheaply from Africa.
Rome inherited the Greek grape and olive, and made it a great business that everyone envied, so from North Africa to Western Europe, they grew olives and grapes, not wheat.
Then all the people had accumulated grapes and olives, but no wheat.
Roman cities and manors were gradually abandoned, and self-sufficient monasteries developed to grow their own food.
In the autumn of that year, two shining comets appeared in the eastern sky, one of which was still faintly visible during the day.
The sad news came that His Majesty had encountered the Karamans while at sea, and that His Majesty had a battlefield and drove out the Karamans, but many of them were killed, including the King's nephew Andrew.
