039. Agrarian reform

Kunsang only has the idea of warfare, and knows nothing about internal affairs, this kind of person can charge ahead, but he cannot participate in too complicated things.

Irritable and belligerent, he is cruel to heretics or fellow believers, and can be used as a sharp sword.

"I received another letter today, Ghazi sent someone to say that there were 'bandits' in his territory, a large number of them, skilled in their movements, much like soldiers with battlefield experience, and asked us to help."

"My lord, what bandits can there be in that place, the shadow of the Vikings hasn't been seen yet, could it be the soldiers sent by the two-year-old child?" Kunsang laughed, "I guess they want us to send a little more food." ”

Orlan also felt that it made sense, who else in Durham County could fight now?

The etiquette of the nobility had been deeply ingrained in the marrow, and Oransven ate it, and found that of the eight soldiers he had brought out, four of them were particularly respectful to Kunsang, and the other four were a small world of their own, obviously distant.

Any soldier who came with him, Orlan, remembered his appearance and name, and he understood it in no time.

Nanding was the castle's chief guard, but when Kunsang returned to the territory, he also participated in the training of soldiers.

Recently, I have traveled from Nanding and Kunsang to recommend the escorts, and each has chosen half of them.

Since the leader above does not deal with it, the subordinates also follow suit.

It seems that the conflict between the two men is expanding......

After Orlan had eaten enough that night, he went to bed early, but Kunsang did not dare to close his eyes all night.

Not sleeping for a few days had no effect on his strong, oxen-like body.

The next morning, Oran was awakened by the sound of birds in the suburbs, and after drinking a few sips of the water bags brought out by the castle, Oran was in good spirits and ready to get up and continue his inspection.

Today he will go to the two village sites that "Gazi Moore" has given him.

During the ride, two of Oran's men were sent out first, and they reported to the front, so that the people of the two villages could prepare to meet them.

After Orlan stepped out of a half-man-high boundary monument, he came to the new village.

This place belongs to the "New Village Leader of Kunsang", and it is also the first time that Kunsang has stepped into this place after becoming the lord of the manor.

The village was noticeably better and more fertile than the territory Orlan had given to another fat knight, Rad Walker.

The estate is in good order.

It consisted of underfed serfs, a small number of freemen, a fairly spacious woodland, four old horses, stables, a broken carriage, and a barn with a quarter of the winter wheat stock (which Ghazi's men almost emptied during the handover, but Oran sent soldiers over as soon as he could).

There were also rows of houses, swamps, wells and a small ruined mill.

There was no place for the priests to rest, and the priests gave the charity to the people in the square.

Oran's admiring gaze was different from Kunsang's.

Oran is willing to invest in prosperity, and Kunsang wants to squeeze pleasure.

"This is your fiefdom, do you know how many people are in your village?"

"About a hundred, a hundred and fifty?"

"Probably? The lord is wealth, and it is also a part of the lord's power, and you despise your wealth so much?"

"My lord, I'll figure it out today."

"How do you want to manage this place?"

"The farmer grows wheat well, the craftsman cultivates his craft well, the woman takes care of the children at home, the capital offense of stealing, the capital offense of disobeying the orders of the lord, the capital offense of collaborating with the enemy, and when the Vikings come - running away is also a capital offense."

Kunsang thought that Orlan hated the Vikings so much that he deliberately accentuated the last sentence, but it did not get the compliments he wanted to hear.

All he heard Orlan say, "Anything is a capital crime, and there are not enough people in your village to kill." ”

"Then I'll follow the example of the Vikings and rob the other lords."

The atmosphere of contemporary England, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms and the people under their rule, are also very barbaric, and in the eyes of the lords of the Southern Illuminati, England is also a barbarian.

Increasing the population with snatching is not a big deal, Orlan didn't say anything.

He then rode around the new territory.

Kunsang's current family totem is a "gray eagle", which is a white eagle inherited from the lord, but his status is not enough, so he uses gray instead of other colors.

Gray is plain, the most common color, as one of the special colors of the low-class aristocracy.

However, Kunsang's gray eagle flag has not been replaced, so there is no flag above the lord's mansion.

When Orlan Zema arrived at the lord's house, several servants inside had been notified in advance by the scouts sent by Oran, and they were waiting outside the house for the Baron's arrival early in the morning.

Kunsang glanced at it and asked, "What about the housekeeper here?"

"My lord, there is no housekeeper, the housekeeper has returned to ......"

Only then did Kunsang know that the professionals of this village had been taken away by Baron Ghazi, and no one was left.

"Then there is always a chef, hurry up and prepare food for adults!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Kunsang." Orlan felt like he had to remind him.

"Your Excellency?"

"As a lord, no matter how big or small the territory is, you always have to have a little plan, I promoted you up, and I hope you can help me share my worries and take care of the territory. There were 144 people in your village when you handed over the information, and about ...... of the land that could be cultivated."

Orlan said it like a few family treasures, Kunsang's scalp was numb when he heard it, but when he heard the manor plan, he suddenly interjected,

"My lord, when I was in the north, living with the noble slaves captured by the Vikings, I heard about some territorial governance."

"Oh, tell me about it."

"I use 'rotational tillage' in the collar, where the same plot of land is planted with different crops in turn, so that the land can maintain fertility and increase yields."

This is true, according to Oran's memories of his previous life, different crops require different nutrients, and rotating different crops can supplement specific nutrients, and planting certain legumes will produce some chemical effects to increase the yield of other types of crops.

While some pests usually attack specific plants, crop rotation will reduce the growth cycle of these pests.

"I think we can use a three-garden system." Kunsang continued.

Hearing this, Oran reacted a little in surprise and asked, "Where is this method popular?"

"Frank, I heard a Frankish man talk about the merits of this method."

According to Oran's observations, the British Isles are currently dominated by the "two-garden system".

Divide the land into two halves, half fallow and half plow, and change them year by year.

However, the fallow land under the two-nursery system is not left to be abandoned, and livestock are allowed to graze on the fallow land, so the rest of the land fertility can be realized, and the loss of fertility caused by over-cultivation of the land can be avoided.

And Kunsang is talking about the three-garden system, which is to divide the land into three pieces.

The first is planted with rye or wheat in the fall, oats or barley in the spring, legume plants such as peas and lentils in the second, and fallow in the third.

The rotation of three plots of land allows one plot of land to be fallow every three years to restore fertility.

Under the two-nursery system, one-half of the land is planted with crops.

Under the three-garden system, two-thirds of the land can be used to grow crops, increasing the amount of land available for cultivation by one-sixth.

In addition to increasing food production, the additional crops can also be harvested in the spring to sell the crops to the north and replenish the nutrition of the northern residents.

In Oran's original memory, the three-nursery system could be implemented anywhere, and when it was implemented at the same time, it could greatly increase crop yields.

But in fact, the three-nursery or two-nursery system must consider the local climate and environment, and many Nordic regions are not easy to implement the three-nursery because of the cold affecting crops.

It can even be determined by the thickness of the soil, the viscosity of the soil, and the distribution of the population.

Food is a matter of life, and even in the most stupid and backward areas, people will spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to increase production.

If there has been no "adaptation" or more advanced technology in the local area, it is likely that it is due to "some reason" rather than ignorance.
