Chapter 151: Sowing the Seeds (I)
As expected, on the third day, Barnle, who had learned the news, rushed over, bringing her parents, but after a conversation, Bell remained in the territory to help take care of the farmland and greenhouse.
In such a situation, time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is October again.
It's autumn time again, and the leaves sway in the wind and begin to appear a faint yellow, and as time passes, this color representing decay will continue to deepen until the leaves die and fall.
But what coexists with decay is a combination of two contradictions: the end and the beginning, the harvest and the hope.
In the fields, the crops planted in spring and summer are already ripe in autumn and have been harvested a few days ago. The air still seems to carry the fragrance of those crops, and the newly ploughed land is also looking forward to the next planting. Sowing seeds is hope. The coming year will bring hope to the farmer and the entire territory.
The sky is blue, and the ground is wide. A large flock of birds is now flying from the far side of the edge forest.
They are going to pass through here, to warmer places, to spend this coming cold winter.
And under the blue sky, someone is looking up at the birds flying in the sky, and their eyes are very focused.
"Romon, what are you looking at?" Nick and Fafer walked over to Romon's side and looked up together.
Luo Meng was still looking at the blue sky, and said lightly: "I'm thinking, time flies so fast." ”
"yes, time flies, it's October again. Fafer looked up as well. Now, after studying systematically as a knight, he has not only greatly improved his martial arts, but also his temperament has become much more solemn.
After returning from the practice, Fafer trained and trained the entire escort team, and now, this escort force in Romon Territory has begun to gradually become regularized, and the number has expanded to twenty people.
"Really, it's October again. Romon said, turning around and looking at the land that had already been turned: "It's time to sow again." ”
"Romong, are we still planting the kind of winter wheat you said this time?" suddenly asked Nick on the side.
Romon nodded: "Yes." ”
"However, we don't have many seeds. Nick took out a pen and a small notebook from his bosom, and his skillful movements seemed to be rehearsed every day, and in fact, it was.
"I calculated, we did have a lot of seeds left, but because you sold a lot of seeds to the surrounding nobles, what we have left now is no longer enough to plant the entire territory, what are you going to do with this? At the beginning, I also said this, you said that you would find a way, and now, it is almost time to sow seeds, do you have a solution to the problem of seeds? If there is no way, we have to buy other seeds as soon as possible and sow them. ”
Although Nick didn't know that the first batch of winter wheat seeds were planted by Luo Meng in the Shennong Corner space, he knew that these seeds were completely different from the usual winter wheat seeds, and although they looked no different from ordinary seeds, they had a better harvest.
So, after discovering that the seeds in the warehouse were no longer enough to plant the entire territory, as he had originally thought, he immediately wondered if it was time to buy some other seeds.
Luo Meng knew Nick's worries, however, he did have a lot of confidence, there was a batch of seeds in Shennongjiao, patted Nick on the shoulder, he smiled: "Don't worry, I have already thought about the problem of seeds, you don't have to worry about seeds, I promise that you, the internal affairs officer, will definitely not have a headache at that time, okay?"
"That's it, let's talk about the next thing...... This month, the small mining village has basically been built, and the basic gardens you mentioned have also been built, which are small villas, and I went to see them...... Also, the farmland around the village is very fertile, the crops planted in the spring and summer are very good, and the harvest is very good, so I suggest that we pay attention to that area for winter wheat planting, and it is likely that it will become our most important agricultural base in the future......" said Nick.
Luo Meng nodded while listening, to be honest, he is too easy to be a lord, in terms of martial arts, with the help of this guy Farfer, in terms of literature, Nick has gradually been able to take charge on his own, in terms of supervision, there is Sukal, an absolutely loyal person in charge, and in terms of farmland, there is a veteran like Fudy, and even, in life, he is gradually used to having Luo Li.
"By the way, the pharmacy's income was good last month. Nick pulled out another small notebook and said as he flipped through it. God knows how many books he carries in his arms at all times. "Although the pharmacy has not launched new pharmaceuticals in the past few months, it is enough to support the operation of the pharmacy just by relying on the previous medicines......
"How's that Rolek?" Romon asked suddenly.
Nick looked at him with some curiosity: "You mean Rolek, he's been working hard lately, and every time I go over, he's busy, why, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"It's okay, it's just curious. Luo Meng smiled and said, the last time he saw it, he noticed that his body had become thicker and thicker, this is a sign of having the magic power of a first-level mage, perhaps, this young man, will also leave him, and he will find a new shopkeeper.
But soon, the conversation was drawn to Fafer's martial arts.
"Fafer, we haven't played each other since you came back, how about going to the training ground now?" Romon said expectantly.
Fafer was also eager to try: "Cheng, I also want to see if you have made any progress recently." ”
"Let's go, Nick, help us testify!" Romon and Fafer looked at Nick at the same time.
Nick was embarrassed to raise the small book in his hand. "I haven't settled yesterday's accounts yet. ”
"Oh, let's go, let's go, just for a while. Fafer smiled and dragged Nick along with the three teenagers towards the training ground.
And when they started to compete in the training ground, there were a few people talking about them.
"Haven't they planted winter wheat yet, Romon?" asked Baron Rocas as he was sipping the newly arrived dragon grass tea not far from the forest house.
In front of him, standing was one of his cronies, about thirty years old, also looking thin, but with bright eyes, looking very smart, seeing him ask, hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, my subordinates have just gone to see, they have not yet planted winter wheat, but, listening to the people who are working, in a few days, they will start to sow seeds, and the seeds they chose are the ones that Lord Romon gave to everyone last time." ”
"Oh. Baron Rocas placed the tea in his hand lightly on the table, his eyes narrowed like a fox. "So, have you ever heard of anyone in the neighborhood who has decided to grow the kind of winter wheat that Romon has?"
"Lord Hui, after inquiries from your subordinates, except for you and Baron Galle, the nobles in several nearby territories have purchased wheat seeds from Lord Romont, and some have already begun to sow seeds. The man said cautiously.
"Really?" said Baron Rocas with a disdainful smile. "These fools, do you really think that the same seeds can grow the same effect? People can produce 370 catties per mu, I don't think it may be this kind of seed, what kind of seeds are good, it's all fooling, it's just that Romon guy sells his reputation, he is a druid, even if there are no good seeds, he can use some other tricks, I have seen a lot of things, how can I not see this. ”
"Your Excellency is wise. When Baron Roccas's men heard this, they immediately flattered, and Baron Rocas smiled.
At the same time, in another baronial castle, Baron Galle was staring at the letter in front of him in a daze.
"My lord, my lord?" The agricultural officer, who was reporting the matter, saw him in a daze, and after calling twice, he didn't dare to call again, so he had to stand where he was and wait.
It took a long time for Baron Galle to come to his senses, and then, looking at the letter in his hand, he asked the agricultural officer in front of him, "Are the seeds of winter wheat ready?"
The agricultural officer replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, the seeds of winter wheat have been prepared by my subordinates half a year ago, and they have been checked regularly, there is absolutely no problem, and they can be sown in a few days." ”
"That's right. Baron Galle rubbed his forehead. "Do you think how much we can harvest in this batch of winter wheat? The last plant problem has already caused problems in the grain reserves in the territory, and there must be no mistakes this time. ”
"My lord, please rest assured, if you take care of it carefully, the yield of 250 catties per mu should be guaranteed, and individual fertile fields can reach 300 catties. The agricultural officer estimated it, and then said, if this figure can really be realized, it is actually very good.
But Baron Galle still seemed a little dissatisfied: "What if you change to the kind of wheat seed in Romon territory?"
"This ......," the agricultural officer hesitated. "My lord, first of all, we are not sure if Lord Romon's wheat seed is really that magical, any seed can achieve that effect, and it is a bit risky to change it temporarily. Secondly, we have prepared wheat seeds in our territory this year, if we don't need to ......"
Baron Galle actually knew this, he was just a little hesitant, and after listening to what his subordinates said, he immediately dispelled this thought, and he said: "Anyway, let's see what effect will be achieved after other people have planted it!"
He walked to the window and looked out, where the wind was high and the clouds were calm, and everything seemed to be calm, but he knew that this time the winter wheat planting was actually very dark underneath.
Agriculture is the foundation of the territory, and if such seeds appear, it is a great thing.
