The renovation of the Lord's Mansion began the next day, while Renaud was leading a large group of people in the fields outside the town, experimenting with his newly invented tools for cultivating the land. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's called a plow, and it's used to plough the ground deeply. ”

So saying, Renaud had the rope put on the two walking birds and pulled the plough into the field.

The walking bird is an animal with a pure nature and great strength, comparable to ordinary calves, and has a relatively high IQ, which is a species worth cultivating in Renault's opinion.

Pulled by two walking birds, the plough was deeply embedded in the soft earth, turning out black dirt.

The onlookers were curious, and some of them tried to operate it, and with the patient teaching of the guards, they soon learned how to use the plow.

"It's much faster than digging with a hoe!"

The townsfolk were excited, praising the approach.

Momiji looked at it for a while and said, "But the soil turned out is all large pieces, and you still need to hoe it fine before you can sow it." ”

"Don't worry, there's still good stuff. ”

An acre of land was soon plowed over, and Renault had a rectangular wooden frame lifted out of it, with two rows of sharp iron teeth sparsely nailed to the two long sides.

"It's called a rake. ”

After the rope was set, one of the guards stood on the rake, and the large chunks of dirt on the ground were cut to pieces by the iron teeth as the walking birds dragged them by the walking birds.

"Oh my god, how we hadn't thought of this method before. ”

The crowd exclaimed, these two small inventions of Renault have reduced their labor by at least seventy or eighty percent!

The land that used to be cultivated by a family may now only need two or three people!

Renault looked at the gradually crushed mud, patted the soil on his hand and said to Momiji: "These two new farm tools can be delivered in large quantities by tomorrow at the latest, and each household will receive a set for free, you must remember to urge them to turn the ground, and it is best to put the bottom fertilizer together at the same time." ”

At this time, the guards brought in green sorghum seedlings, four or five in each bag of soil.

Renaud personally demonstrated how to plant a small patch, which he did a lot of work when he was a child, but at that time he planted corn.

"The spacing is according to this standard, remember to fertilize and water after planting, and when it grows to half a meter high, it is necessary to cut off the ones that do not grow well, leaving the robust ones, and each nest can not exceed two plants. ”

Renault looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "And be careful, the empty line should be aimed in the southeast direction as much as possible, so that it is conducive to the sun's rays." ”

Momiji doesn't know how to describe her mood at this time.

When she talked about planting sorghum last night, she thought that Renault had only seen this knowledge from some books, but it was just a piece of paper.

But when I saw it today, Renault was an experienced farmer!

What kind of lord will personally go to the field to guide his people to plant sorghum? It is estimated that there will only be one such person in the entire Oro Continent.

Did he really not know that if this matter was spread, it would be laughed at by other nobles?

"Let them laugh!" said Renault, patting the dirt off his hands nonchalantly, "the nobles, no matter how glamorous they are, are only stepping on the shoulders of the working people. If you want to stand higher, the fastest and most stable way is to train the people to be giants who stand up to the sky and the earth, and then stand on the shoulders of giants. ”

Momiji kept repeating this sentence in her heart, and her mood was very complicated for a while.

In the past, she boasted that she was diligent in government and loved the people, but when she asked herself, in addition to helping her people buy some farm tools, she was still most concerned about the final grain production.

I came to the fields like this and did something tangible for the people, but I never thought about it.

But Renault's arrival helped the townspeople to reduce the huge labor burden, and it is very likely that production will be increased.

This is the real diligent government and love for the people.

Renault went to a few older townspeople and asked some questions about the land. Sorghum was found to be cultivated in rotation.

Because sorghum has a deep root system and absorbs a lot of nutrients deep in the earth, it is not suitable to plant sorghum every year on the same plot, and it must be separated by one year.

There is no good solution, and even if you use chemical fertilizers to supplement various substances, there will be problems with disease and insect infestation.

"What will be planted in the land this year?"

"Basically, they don't grow anything," the old man said, shaking his head, "and some of them grow soybeans, but you know, soybeans can't be eaten." ”

"Why don't you grow something else, like peanuts or sweet potatoes?"

The old people looked at each other: "What is that?"

It seemed that there were no such species in the Tuke Basin, and Renault called Momiji to him, asking her to send people out to find suitable species for this season throughout the continent, and encouraging the townspeople to plant all the idle land in rotation.

"If I don't have seeds, I can give them for free and be guaranteed to recycle them. ”

"But what do we want so many soybeans for? It's not tasty and we can't sell it. Momiji asked in surprise, she herself was the one who hated eating soybeans the most.

"Soybeans are a treasure!"

Renaud didn't explain much to her, because until now, he didn't have time to study the practice of soy products.

When you have time, you must study the app on your phone, which seems to provide a lot of food, and you may be able to easily make delicious soy products.

Of course, in addition to agriculture, Renault also plans to build several factories in Sequoia Town to solve the surplus labor caused by new tools and farming methods.

The first choice is the paper mill, which requires a lot of people and the collection of raw materials is also very convenient, as long as the sewage problem is solved. Renault had already thought about this, and he placed the location of the paper mill near the Black Fog Ridge, not only for easy access to water, but also for the sewage produced to flow into the Naxi River with only a short channel.

There is also a breeding and breeding base for the walking bird, which has been a treasure of the Tuke Basin as the main laborer. Renault is very much looking forward to the fact that once Sherlock's transformation of the walking bird is successful, his IQ will definitely surpass that of the modified horse, and if he can add wings, he can form an "air force".

After cutting the ribbon at the New Town Hall - the name is a bit of a mouthful - and holding a grand inauguration ceremony for Momiji, Renault is returning to Black Iron Town.

Summer was approaching, and from the reports that came in every day, it was known that while Black Iron Town had been able to operate on its own and in good order, the development of new commodities would have come to a standstill without him.

"Lord Renault, I'm not going back to Black Iron Town for a while. Yushi said suddenly.

Renault was taken aback by her, these days she always suddenly appears in the air, says a word and disappears in the air, the timid can be scared to death by her.

"Well, stay safe. ”

Renaud nodded in agreement, Yushi had his own ideas, and if he wanted to get her, he couldn't bind her.

"I'm going to make tofu when I go back this time, so remember to come back early and taste it." ”

Yuki nodded expressionlessly, and disappeared in place in an instant.
