Chapter 67: True Farming
In addition to calling on his vassals to take the lead in adopting new farming tools and new farming methods.
Yin Leia also contacted dozens of blacksmith shops in Iron Horn City through the Golden Fleece Chamber of Commerce, ordered a large number of ploughshares and soil chips, and then gathered all the carpenters in the territory to start making plowshares.
In this way, when the ploughshare and the soil piece are met in the green field, they can be assembled together with the wooden moldboard to form a ploughshare, and then the wheel can be added to adjust the depth of the plough.
And the seeder Li Yu chose the cocoon after weighing it repeatedly.
The earliest origin of the cocoon can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, not only can be ditched and sown, but also can cover the soil to suppress, wear many hats, greatly improve the efficiency of sowing, the most important thing is that more than 2,000 years have passed, and it has not been completely eliminated, and there are still some remote rural areas in use.
Of course, it can't be compared with modern seeder equipment, but it is better than not burning diesel or gasoline, for Li Yu, who can only bring diesel or gasoline from another universe, the cocoon car can be said to be the best choice.
And it is not very difficult to manufacture, the main part is a wooden structure, only the legs need plow blades, and the creation of this part of the plow blades is responsible for the blacksmith of the green field.
In addition, the long-handled scythe is only used at harvest time, so it is not in such a hurry, and it can be built slowly later.
In short, Li Yu and Yin Leiya tried to make each craftsman responsible for the production of only one component through internal division of labor and parts procurement, which greatly improved the manufacturing efficiency of new agricultural tools.
This will make it possible to create a sufficient number of new farming tools before the spring ploughing arrives.
At the same time, the female lord also issued several decrees one after another, encouraging everyone to reclaim wasteland by reducing rent and tax deductions.
According to Li's preliminary estimates, the new tools can increase farming efficiency by two to three times, and the workload is also doubled when considering the shift from two to four fields, which means that each farmer can actually expand the cultivated area by at least half.
The nobles of the western frontier lacked everything, that is, not land.
The Arias family is no exception, so Miss Rabbit is also very concerned about this matter, even if the rent is reduced, as long as the amount of farmland is increasing, then her total income will also increase.
However, with the spread of new agricultural tools and the increase in cultivated area, it is obvious that the land layout of the previous strip system has become unsuitable.
The traditional farmland on the continent of Brattis is similar in shape to medieval Europe, with long strips of land, and a family often owns several plots of land scattered throughout the village.
In the eyes of the descendants of China, the distribution and shape of this kind of field is undoubtedly very strange, but behind this is actually a gap in production tools.
Both the continent of Brattis and medieval Europe used heavy ploughs, which required 4 to 8 oxen to pull and were very difficult to turn, so farmers had to keep the ploughing oxen going until they could no longer walk, and then change places to continue plowing.
However, now that the switch to a light mouldboard plough allows one or two oxen to pull it, it is not so difficult to turn, and with the increase in cultivated area, there is no need to use scattered strips of land to plough and people to run around.
So Yin Leia had to ask his administrative officials to go to the village to redistribute the land.
After tossing and turning like this for a month, the grassroots officials were exhausted and paralyzed, and in the redivision of land, it was inevitable that all kinds of contradictions would arise......
Of course, the main thing is that after the shape of the cultivated land changes, many people don't know how to cultivate it.
Fortunately, the Hughes of the Shuangxiu Sect appeared in time, and even Li Yu himself came forward to demonstrate the use of various new farm tools.
To this end, he also went to the countryside in the suburbs on Saturday to ask local farmers, especially the elderly, for advice on farming tips.
And his efforts were not in vain.
Seeing that the Prophet had rolled up his trouser legs and stepped on the mud to work hard, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the believers disappeared a lot, and they began to study seriously.
After the demonstration, Li Yu asked the farmers below to come up one by one to try it, and he corrected it on the side.
was so busy until the sun set, Li Yu went back to the teacup castle to eat something, and chatted with Yin Leiya about government affairs for a while.
The main thing is to find Yin Leiya to borrow a few officials who understand the law and go to the territory of the Shuangxiu Sect to popularize the law.
Li Yu did not intend to let the Shuangxiu Church establish its own laws, although this is quite tempting, but this is contrary to his original intention of converting the secular to the secular and the church to the church.
He did not set up the Inquisition to deal with crimes in general, but rather as a self-examination body within the Church that supervised members within other organizations.
Although it was confirmed that the two Hughes who violated and murdered the peasant girl before were framed by the Silvermoon Church, Li Yu was still vigilant about the occurrence of such things.
Especially with the continuous development and expansion of the Shuangxiu Sect, the power in the hands of some people will inevitably swell, and Li Yu needs a department to supervise and restrain those people in a timely manner.
As for the day-to-day administration of public security, it is still carried out in accordance with the laws of the continent of Bratis, whether it is a Hugh or a believer, any crime committed will be punished normally, and no one will be specialized.
…………
This is probably the busiest period of time since Li Yu came to Green Field, he had never been so tired before slaying dragons and dealing with Shuangxiu Sect, his hands and feet were blistered, and his shirt was also covered with sweat stains when he got off work.
However, after that, he still turned around to the industrial park and looked at it again, and Zhang Yanlin sent him the design drawings and renderings four days ago.
Li Yu saw that there was no problem, and Zhang Yanlin contacted the construction team to start work.
Since it was already off work, Li Yu didn't contact her, so she went straight over.
As a result, I didn't expect to find that there was still construction inside, and Zhang Yanlin didn't leave, supervising the workers to work.
After seeing Li Yu, Zhang Yanlin was also stunned, "You have turned dark, I haven't seen you for a few days, did you go to the beach?"
"No, I'm farming." Li Yu took off his [game sunglasses].
As soon as this ghost thing saw Zhang Yanlin, he flashed blindly, and he was still there with passion popping up, saying that he had encountered a target that could be attacked.
「…………」
"Boss, you still farm, don't be kidding, aren't you like me, you also grew up in the city?" Zhang Yanlin's eyes widened.
"I have no choice but to learn now."
"It's worthy of my boss, and the jokes he tells are not ordinary cold." Zhang Yanlin said with a grin.
"I'm not telling jokes." Li Yu said, "Besides, why haven't you left yet, our company has always left work on time."
"Well, I didn't think I had just come here and wanted to be positive." Zhang Yanlin said, "You don't have to take care of me, it will make me stressed."
