Within the territory of the Blackwater Valley, a lush forest valley.

The Blackwater River passes through it quietly, witnessing the changes of the territory over the years.

This year's crops in the territory are growing well, irrigated by melting mountain snow, and under normal circumstances, there is no drought, and the summer sunshine is very abundant, and the fly in the ointment is that only one crop can be planted.

Everything is running in an orderly manner in the territory, but unfortunately Levi was a liberal arts student in his previous life, and he didn't know anything about science and engineering, and he didn't know how to make many scientific inventions that could improve productivity.

Otherwise, you can climb a technology tree in your territory like other traversers, engage in a scientific revolution or something, and maybe lead this extremely backward world into a steam age.

He was not good at management, and he was not good at farming.

He will only bury his head in experience, and the big and small affairs of the territory will be left to the Fred Knight and other professionals to take care of.

For Levi, having a proficiency panel, from beginning to end, his pursuit is only one, that is, in this other world, the pursuit of immortality, the identity and status of the lord are just tools on the road to the pursuit of strength.

And wealth, power, love, and all kinds of troubles in the world are just floating clouds.

In the year 1004 of the Holy Hui calendar, the month of the furnace (August).

The Furnace Moon is mainly hot in the south, and the Blackwater Valley in the north of the kingdom has a higher altitude and just the right temperature.

Knight Fred led the militia to build irrigation canals for the territory, diverting the Heishui River for irrigation, so this year's crops grew well.

In addition, the lord Li Wei also called on the serfs in the territory to rely on the Heishui River to fish during the slack time, which can be regarded as increasing the income of the territory.

Levi naturally didn't dare to go to the Heishui River because he was worried about being entangled by that evil spirit, but unfortunately his dream in his previous life was to be able to fish for a day without going to work, a pack of cigarettes, a bench, and a fishing rod.

As his strength became stronger day by day, the amount of meat consumed became larger and larger, and he let go of eating, Levi could eat more than a dozen catties of meat a day, but the production of beef and mutton in Heishui Valley was limited, so Levi thought of eating fish.

The fish in the Heishui River are mostly some cold-water perch and salmon, the meat is delicious, nutritious, and there are many freshwater fish bones, but for Levi, the fish bones are swallowed directly, and they don't matter.

Li Wei also taught some of the methods of the Chinese people in his previous life to the chefs in the territory, and asked them to make fish for themselves and the soldiers.

Steamed, braised and grilled fish, the recipes are different, and the taste is definitely not as good as in the previous life, after all, the Emerald Kingdom is similar to medieval Europe before the great maritime discoveries, there are no spices, and occasionally some trade from other countries is also controlled by the great nobles and the royal family, even if it is Levi, he can't afford to eat it.

But it's better than what they've made in their dark cooking before, and the water quality of the Heishui River is excellent, and the smell of fish is very small.

This can be regarded as solving some of the meat problems of himself and the soldiers in the territory.

Knight Fred also followed Levi to eat river fish, in fact, since becoming a knight, Knight Fred rarely eats river fish, in the eyes of the nobles and knights of this world, river fish are eaten by inferior people.

But seeing Levi thrifty and thrifty in order to save on territorial expenses, eating river fish, this shocked Fred.

"Young Master Levi is destined to be a person who will achieve great things."

……

In a peaceful place, time passed day by day, and the month of wheat field arrived.

The wheat in the territory was golden and golden, and the joy of the harvest filled the face of Lord Levi.

"Farming is a beautiful thing."

It was a fixed day of rest every week, and Levi drank wine and watched the serfs below the mountain harvest wheat.

This year's weather has been smooth, and Li Wei feels that the wheat yield will definitely be much higher than last year.

But when the harvest moon (October) arrived, Levi was stupid.

Compared with last year, the output has increased by less than one percent.

He brought in the knight of Fred and the steward of the realm.

I looked at the data of previous years again and found an interesting phenomenon.

Regardless of the year or year, the wheat production in the territory has basically not changed.

After some research, Levi found that there was something wrong with the policy of the territory.

According to the practice of this world, the serfs of the territory are the private property of the lord, and the fields are also the private property of the king to the lord.

The serfs generated income, whether it was wheat or other agricultural products. Except for the small portion that he kept fixed, the rest had to be handed over to the small lord, who exchanged the grain for money, and handed over part to the direct lord of his direct domain, and finally handed over to the largest lord, the royal family of the Emerald Kingdom, who they called "assistance gold".

Over time, many serfs began to be lazy, whether it was sowing seeds or fertilizing, they were very perfunctory, anyway, in the end, they had to give it to the lord, even if I harvested more, it had nothing to do with me, so why did I work so hard? As long as the yield handed in is not too low, the lord will not be harsh on the serfs, and the yield is not high anyway.

Levi felt the need to change the policy in his territory.

He called Knight Fred and told Knight Fred what he thought, and Knight Fred was a little surprised.

"Since ancient times, it seems that there is no such thing, you are a lord, if you think those serfs are lazy, you only need to set a hard target for them every year, and if you can't be severely punished, there is no need to be so kind to them, you are still too kind."

Levi shook his head: "The best way to mobilize the enthusiasm of these people is not to punish, but to make them ...... Eat one's fill. ”

Knight Fred thoughtfully: "Then let's try, if it doesn't work, go back to the way it was, and there is nothing to lose anyway." ”

In this way, after the harvest moon passed, a new policy began to be implemented in the territory.

The housekeeper went from house to house, telling the serfs a great news.

"The lord announced: Starting next year, each household only needs to hand over sixty percent of the wheat harvested that year to the lord, and the rest of the wheat will be owned by the serfs themselves."

The serfs in the wooden houses had expressions of disbelief.

"Is this true? Heavenly Father, Lord Lord, didn't lie to us, did he? ”

"Are you questioning the authority of your lord?"

"I didn't ...... No. ”

In the end, in order to dispel the concerns of these serfs, Levi had to make a speech himself to announce the execution of the decree.

Hearing that it was true, the serfs blossomed, and for the first time they felt that life was so promising and that their future was bright.

Levi didn't know if it would work, but he felt it was time to make some changes.

Autumn in Blackwater Valley is always too short, and in the blink of an eye, it's the moon of the north wind again.

On the training ground below the castle, Levi's body and arms shook to form an afterimage, and the frost sorrow in his hand slashed out a beautiful cross slash!

The hard black dragon wooden stake in front of him, covered with all kinds of slash marks, finally split into four!

The sound is crisp and the cuts are smooth.

[Golden Cross Slash Mastery +1]

The system beeps out.

Levi exhaled, and the back was so surprised that he couldn't help but jump!

Happy like a teenager.

"Breakthrough!"
