Chapter 849: The Wedding (I)
The mist is in place, when the spring flowers are blooming. A red sun, hanging high in the sky, with its own energy, constantly pouring its own brilliance downward.
The green leaves, against the backdrop of the sun, emit colorful light, and the morning dewdrops, gently rolling on it, are colorful and beautiful.
On the earth where the light of the god Romon shines, there is a scene of life everywhere.
Because there are many people living in this area, the population is so large, and after any territory, the kind of fog that is common in the misty world does not appear in this area.
The fog cleared, and within two hundred square kilometers, the color of the sky was always that incomparably beautiful blue color, and the sun was soft and beautiful, and everything was bathed in it, glowing with soft light.
On the ground, all kinds of plants are growing healthy and strong, regardless of race or age, swaying together in the wind, as if they are all singing a kind of music that cannot be heard by humans.
In this area, the trees are luxuriant, the grass is verdant, and some harmless small animals are happily playing in the grass and bushes, and there is a peaceful scene everywhere.
At this time, it is April, the weather is warm, and the air is filled with a fragrant smell of plants and flowers.
On a newly opened country road, there are constantly people traveling, some on foot, and many more on their own ox carts.
Since ancient times, the status of the people has always been low, only higher than that of slaves, and they have basic freedoms.
But on the glorious land of the god Romon, these people began to have more opportunities. The time has come now, and the first and second groups of believers have been released.
Tens of thousands of people emigrated outside the city, and hundreds of villages were founded, scattered in areas where the fog had dispersed. Because of the proper deployment, they are connected together, without dead ends, forming a large area of sunlight.
This is something that has rarely happened for thousands of years, and this miracle was born in their cognition. In addition, the fields that have always relied on for a livelihood have expanded several times.
The increase in land, even under the system of sub-feudal system, enabled the people to own a large amount of land, and through the rotation of the three fields, these people, who were originally in the poorest state, are now becoming more and more prosperous day by day! This is regarded as the grace of the god Romon.
Now, except for the people who originally wore the forest collar, there were some who had not digested it, and the others all cheered and threw themselves into the glorious embrace of the god Romone.
On the road, the sun was shining, and a cow was stuck in progress.
Peter's eldest son is now at the age of marriage, because a few days ago someone helped introduce a girl from a neighboring village to this child, and Peter's family was very happy, and today is the day when the family goes to meet at the woman's house.
Peter and his two sons, both dressed in thin but new clothes, looked extraordinarily energetic, especially his eldest son, who was of good looks, and though he was not very talkative, his handsome appearance was sure to capture the girl's heart! Grain and meat were piled up on the cart, which were the best gifts when visiting others.
After a busy morning, they drove the ox cart out of their house, and were now walking on the winding path.
Because the population in the whole territory is very dense, there is rarely any dense fog between the villages, and the fog has dispersed, and what emerges is a clear sky and a spacious field.
It is the time of spring, and there are always familiar people on the road, and Peter has a bold personality, and on the road, he constantly greets and talks with them. "I said, Peter, what are you doing here?" Suddenly an ox cart came up behind him, teasing the goods. The one who drove the car was Haben from the same village.
"Hey, isn't my eldest son going to get married, I'll take him to the woman's house first to discuss the date of the marriage!" Peter said with a smile, though he didn't care too much, and his beard grew taller, revealing his joy.
"Yo, do you want your son to get married? That's good, you have to treat me to a few drinks on the wedding day!" said Harben very happily.
"Certainly, how can this kind of thing forget you? By the grace of the god Monromont, now that the people are married, they do not need to pay the marriage tax, and they have saved a lot of prophecy, and when the time comes, our brothers will not get drunk and go home!" Peter said with a laugh.
"Hey, little John, I've watched you grow up, and when the time comes, I'll ask me to have a few drinks!" Harben said a few words to Peter, and then the sun fell on John, Peter's eldest son.
"Okay, old man, when the time comes, I will definitely treat you to a few drinks. Although he is shy, John still understands basic politeness. "Good boy!" said Harben, delighted, and after a few more words, he drove the carriage away first. "Hey, brother, I don't know how that girl is, do you see it?" On the side, Peter's youngest son saw that his brother's face was a little red, so he reached out and stabbed his brother, and said evilly. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, John's face became redder and redder.
"Son, don't be nervous, marriage is not going to the battlefield, don't be shy, don't be nervous, besides, this is far from getting married, just go to meet today!" As soon as Peter turned around, he saw his eldest son sitting there very nervously, with a red face, and seemed to be very shy and nervous, so he said in a loud voice and puffed up.
While driving the ox cart, Peter looked back at the two children sitting beside him, the eldest son was eighteen years old, and the younger son was thirteen years old, in fact, they were still quite young. Spring sowing has ended, and cultivated land exists in the form of strips. One is spring ploughing, one is winter ploughing, and one is planted with soybeans and the like. Barley is the main food of the people, so it is planted in a large proportion, although it is not very tasty. Wheat was expensive, and it was cultivated mainly to supply lords and cities.
Beans have the function of fixing nitrogen, which can improve the fertility of the land, and the increase in the number of beans has provided more fodder for the raising of livestock, which is the instruction of the Church. Therefore, all kinds of things, so their mother was at home and did the housework, and this time she did not come with her.
Many of Toyori's gifts were prepared by their mothers, and their expectations for their future daughters-in-law can be imagined.
Peter's eldest son became more embarrassed when Peter said this, and he scratched his head: "Father, I—I still feel nervous..."
When Peter saw him like this, he sighed, decided not to pay attention to him anymore, and looked at the younger son next to him, thinking that he would have to marry a daughter-in-law for this young son in the future, and he probably had to worry about it again, and his head hurt even more. So, I focused on driving and stopped talking to my two sons. The ox cart drove fast and slow on the road, and Peter's mind flew far away.
He remembered when he was young, when his parents married a wife for him, at that time, because there was not much contact between the villages, and if he wanted to marry a wife and a person, he would come to the same village, and the choice was much narrower than now. Like now, the territory is constantly expanding, and the choices are getting wider and wider. "Praise you, my lord Lomon...", a singing voice suddenly came from a distance.
This singing attracted the attention of John and his brother, and they both looked into the distance curiously, and saw several people standing in the depths of a farmland that had just been cultivated, all dressed in priest's clothes, who seemed to be praying for something. The singing just now was when they came out. "Father, after the arrival of God Romon we have had much better times. John's brother spoke suddenly. "The god Romon is the true God, the God of nature and judgment, and his radiance walks on the earth. "There was no one for a while—Peter, who had spoken, suddenly spoke. "Yes, God!" Hearing this, the family smiled.
The implementation of the three-field system is not just now, but has been implemented in the past few years, and the effect has already come out, it has increased productivity, it has made the peasants' labor more evenly distributed throughout the year, rather than concentrated, and thus increased efficiency.
It grows different crops to prepare different food resources for people, while the cultivation of oats provides more fodder for horses, which in turn makes the widespread use of horses possible.
The cultivation of pulses increases the fertility of the land and increases the productivity of the land, and under the three-field system, the fertilization is more fine, which can maintain the fertility of the soil from depleting prematurely. Of course, this required many fields, and the design of the territory made it possible to now have a large amount of land.
It's actually more of a planning, so that the population is concentrated and not only crowded, so that more of the fog is dissipated, and a sunny area is formed.
But these ordinary people could not understand this, and in their view, after believing in the god Lomon, the fog lifted day by day, and they were given more and more fields, and life became better and better, which made their faith more religious.
Even if the people who were originally in the high forest territory gradually believed in the god Luo Meng after half a year, the digestion of the entire territory would be basically completed after this year's harvest. At that time, there will be 10,000 people in the city and 40,000 people outside the city. "How nice it would be if we could see this god with our own eyes?" John muttered, and Peter was immediately knocked on the head. "Is that the true God, can the true God be seen by us as we like?" Peter rebuked him and said, "It is better to work hard under God's inspiration to think so wildly all day long!" Hearing his father's words, John had to nod aggrievedly: "Yes, father, I know." The yearning for this great God has never disappeared in his heart.
His gaze fell on the distance, the group of priests, singing, at this time, another field, the cultivation has been completed, the farmland is bathed in the sun!
