Chapter Eighty-Six: A Pickaxe and a Thousand Pounds, the Harvest Season (Add more for the white dipping sugar boss!) )
Looking at Erin, who was wielding a great sword, Gooden didn't interrupt her training immediately.
Erin, who flexibly shuttled and attacked in the specified area, made Goodern sigh in his heart with his sassy appearance.
Dedallo, on the side, was surprised and worried about Erin's learning speed.
Erin, who has a legendary talent, and with the addition of wholeheartedly this entry to accelerate learning efficiency, she can master it as long as she learns to try both sides.
This talent and speed of learning made Dedallo, as a mentor, very envious.
If he continues to study at such an efficient rate, I am afraid that it will not take two months, and within a month, he will have nothing to teach.
After a perfect round of training, Dedallow paused the training and let Erin go to rest for a while.
"Master Gooden." Turning, Dedallow gestured to Goodern.
"Well, Captain Dedarlo, I need to talk to you about this business, go to my study and talk about it?"
"Okay." Dedarlow nodded, then glanced at Erin, then whispered to Goodern.
"Miss Erin's talent is so good, I don't think I'll have anything to teach her in less than a month."
"It's okay, as long as the results of the teaching are satisfactory to me, I will pay the remaining month's salary."
"That'll do too."
……
Arriving in the study on the second floor, Goodern also expressed his desire to mobilize troops to garrison near the mines.
"This appointment is no problem, I'll arrange it later, and I'll also send a supply order to Jinyuan City, so that it can be directly connected by a special route."
As for Goodern's arrangement, Dedalo agreed directly without even thinking about it.
He didn't even ask him why, which made Gooden, who was already ready, suddenly unable to fix it.
"Eh, I mobilize the troops of Jinyuan City, doesn't this matter need to be reviewed and approved by the above?"
"No, now you are the supreme commander, unless the military headquarters directly orders me to withdraw from Qingyuanling, or when we need to carry out a mission, we will override your order to carry it out."
"This kind of task of moving the garrison only needs to say hello to the logistics supply, and does not need to be reviewed and approved by the military department."
"Understood." Gooden nodded thoughtfully at this result.
He didn't expect that it would be so convenient to mobilize the emperor's team, which made him prepare in vain.
Afterwards, the two briefly discussed the number of people to be stationed, as well as the tasks after the stationing and some response plans.
Gooden had also planned and arranged this kind of detailed arrangement, and soon the two of them would complete the details of the task of adjusting the defense.
Seeing Dedallow away, Goodern went to find Joseph Sr. and asked him to arrange for the allocation of personnel to the mine tomorrow.
Manganese ore and iron ore mines, Goodern still has to go to it in person, after all, only he can do the work of modifying the entry.
……
A busy day passed in a hurry, and the next morning, Goodern, with the help of Irene, put on his own manganese steel armor.
His own armor didn't have the flamboyant beauty of Irene, but was very low-key, designed purely for defense.
At the same time, as the last barrier to life, three of Goodn's four entries in the Warframe are aimed at defense.
There is even a protection of mental power.
[Calm and Relaxed: When the wearer is attacked by a weak spirit, it can slow down the damage received]
With this, he has everything from physical defense to magical defense in place.
Looking at his handsome self in the bronze mirror, Gooden silently nodded in his heart, and then said to Erin.
"Alright, you go change your armor too, and we'll set off later."
"Huh? Master, I'll go too?"
For the young master's roll call to ask her to go out, Erin was a little surprised all of a sudden.
"Well, Dedalo is going with us today, too
I don't think I will be able to come back in the afternoon, so if you go out to learn how to ride."
"Okay."
After having the young master's reason, Erin no longer hesitated, and immediately went to change her clothes and put on that exquisite set of armor.
Ten minutes later, Dedalo was leading two horses, one of which Erin was sitting on and listening to her mentor.
"Stepping on the stirrups with the forepaws of both feet, don't sit firmly on the horse, saying that you are riding a horse, but in fact it is a form of half standing and half sitting."
"If you are running at a slow speed, you can sit in the saddle a little bit to maintain your strength, and when you are running, remember to stand up slightly, and put your feet on the stirrups instead of sitting in the saddle, but follow the shaking of the horse."
"Don't pull the reins too tightly all at once, try to make it stop, pull it a little slowly, let it have a preview of your thoughts in advance."
With Dedallow's patient guidance, Erin quickly mastered the most basic riding skills and was able to follow the convoy on her own horse.
By the time she arrived at the manganese mine, Erin was already proficient in all the basic operations of the warhorse, even in high-speed running, she could handle it perfectly.
With such a strong talent, Dedallow said that Erin was like a natural knight.
She learns all the skills associated with it, which makes Dedalo very envious.
In the manganese mine, with the arrival of new materials and personnel, the atmosphere of the mine suddenly became much more lively.
Although the manual work of mining, which is dangerous, is boring, the wages that can be obtained are among the best in the entire Qingyuan Town.
And now, the lord came and not only replenished them with basic supplies, but even brought them 200 kilograms of sugar and fine salt to reward them.
These things are rare things that even nobles can eat, and the lord actually gave them directly.
For a while, the mood of the workers in the entire mine quickly rose a lot.
"Old Joseph, you go and arrange the handover of personnel, and by the way, gather the personnel who are willing to go to the iron mine, and we will set off after I have dealt with it here."
"Okay young master."
The handover of the old and new miners, Goodern intends to transfer half of the old miners to the iron ore mines.
At the same time, the newly arranged personnel were also drawn two, a total of about 60 people, plus logistics and family members, a total of about 130 people.
The personnel who go to work in the iron ore mine will also make certain adjustments and increases in salary, after all, it is mining underground mines, and the degree of danger is higher.
After giving the order, he took Erin to the mine to prepare to investigate the manganese mine entry revision.
Although more than a month of mining adjustment has not changed much in the mine, many metal lusters have been exposed in several mining pits.
Approaching it, Goodborn summoned the panel, and a familiar light curtain flashed before him, and information about the purchase of manganese ore appeared in front of him.
【Name:Manganese vein】
[Entry: fragile, weathered]
[Introduction: An open-pit weathered manganese mine with extremely considerable reserves]
[Fragile: The manganese ore vein as a whole is extremely fragile in mining due to unknown extrusion]
[Weathering: The open-pit manganese vein has been weathered for 10,000 years, resulting in the scarcity of manganese elements in the ore above]
The manganese ore vein entry is not as bad as the previous iron ore vein, but it is not particularly good.
Goodern then shifted his gaze to the new entry below.
[Hard soil: The land around the mine is hardened, which greatly increases the difficulty of mining]
[Biogas accumulation: the infiltration of biogas in the leyline, so that the bottom of the mine is covered with biogas for a long time, which is difficult to extract]
[A pickaxe and a thousand catties: the pre-entry is required to be 'fragile', greatly simplifying the mining process of manganese ore, and increasing its yield by 1000%]
The appearance of a pickaxe and a thousand catties of entries made Goodern's face show obvious consternation.
How many zeros is this? Four?!
A tenfold increase in yield?
After being stunned, Goodn, without hesitation, directly changed it to the entry for 'fragile'.
Of course, the only overlay positions that can be selected are fragile.
Goodern is also a bit new to the first combination of terms that precede 'entries'.
The appearance of this kind of entry, does it mean that some garbage entries can also be covered by post-added bonuses and turned into powerful effects?
However, such a thing has to rely on probability, and Goodern can't keep a garbage negative entry and not change it.
Shaking his head slightly, Goodern set his sights on the refresh column and continued to search for suitable entries.
As the three refresh opportunities ran out, Goodern only found an entry that was almost alive to deal with.
[Safe mining: Miners in the mine will strictly abide by safety guidelines, and the accident rate will be reduced by 20%]
Two modifications to the veins made Goodern experience that dizziness again.
But fortunately, this time there was no direct fainting, and the dizziness caused by the modification was also reduced a lot.
This made Gooden wonder if it was because of his mage's level increase.
It was only the awakening when I came before, and the spiritual power was not as strong as it is now, and now with the growth of the spiritual power, the negative effects of this modification can be reduced a lot?
Goodern didn't have much evidence for such an idea, and after not thinking too much, he got up and returned, ready to set off with everyone to the iron mines.
This time, it was only Goodern and a small number of guards and miners.
The Imperial cavalry, who originally came with them, was led by Dedalo to inspect the surrounding terrain and prepare to find a place to set up camp.
The two teams were working separately at the same time, and the modification of the iron ore mine had already been completed last time, so this time, Goodern was only playing the role of a 'mascot'.
Cheer up the miners, adjust the task work, etc., and when it is almost arranged, return to the manganese mine to meet with Dedalo and return to Qingyuan Town.
With the autumn harvest season approaching, Gooden will have to run to the wheat fields outside Qingyuan Town every day for the next period of time.
See which suitable fields can be modified and strengthened, so that they can get incremental entries before harvesting.
At the same time, Gooden did not forget to revise the entries of several livestock he bought.
Cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, and other kinds of meat sources, Goodern has a lot of effort.
During this time, they have also undergone a lot of word changes, the most effective of which is a pair of male and female sows.
As a super-bred mother, Gooden has also made the ultimate changes to her litter.
A pig can live for more than 20 years, but it only takes a little more than a year to mature.
With the ultimate acceleration of the entry, the piglets born by the super mother can mature and grow up in just three months.
However, there is also a negative effect under such ultimate acceleration, that is, the number of farrowing piglets has been cut in half.
A pig used to produce as many as 10 to 12 pigs, but now it can only give birth to six.
Even so, Goodern didn't care, the time advantage was enough to smooth out the quantity, and when the follow-up modifications were made for the two super mothers, this problem could be smoothed out sooner or later.
……
Ephemeris, August 7.
At this time, most of the wheat in the wheat field is ripe, and it is time to harvest.
To this end, Goodern also slightly suspended the requirements of many project personnel to let them go to the fields to help with the harvest.
The revised wheat field made the townspeople feel the pain of the harvest for the first time.
Originally, the wheat harvest of more than 2,000 acres of land could normally be completed in three or four days, but this harvest took three days.
Even let the women and old people in the small town go into battle, which is almost half of the harvest.
Looking at the remaining half of the wheat field, the townspeople looked very tired, but their eyes were full of joy.
Judging from this harvest, this year is a very good year.
This kind of news is a great joy for the peasants who have been running around for a little food and drink all year round.
In the castle of Qingyuan Town, Goodern was quietly listening to Joseph Sr.'s report at the moment.
"After counting, the stock of wheat that has been harvested has exceeded tons."
"Based on the remaining wheat fields, this year's income can reach about 1,000 to 1,300 tons, which is twice as much as in previous years."
"At the same time, the one ton of reserve grain required by the empire has been stored separately and can be pulled away at any time."
"Hmm, what about the collection of super wheat?" Goodern nodded, then asked.
"According to your request, the first batch of harvested fields is these plots, all of which have been collected, a total of more than a ton, and the storage point is guarded by special soldiers."
Super wheat is the seed that Goodern will be planted in the future, and with this thing, the first wave of wheat harvested next year will not only be about 1,000 tons, but this number will have to be at least two or three times higher.
"It's not safe to store all the seeds of super wheat in one place, so pick a few parts out and find an extra place to store them, which is enough to sow the amount of farmland in Qingyuan Town."
"In addition, we have also informed that when the autumn harvest is over, all farmers will be able to replace all the seeds with super wheat seeds."
"Okay."
While the two were still discussing some details about this year's autumn harvest, there was a sudden sound of rapid tapping at the door of the study.
"Come in."
Goodern stopped communicating with Joseph Sr. and looked at the door.
"Squeak-"
The person who pushed the door in was Els, and at this moment his face showed a hint of solemnity.
"Young master, the capture team is back, Matthews they were caught, but they encountered some accidents...... He's dead."
