85_85536 In the end, William's pocket money for a month was divided among a few "bold" farmers. Each of them took one. And it was decided to share this loss of land power.

This made William even more dissatisfied, but also more helpless - he had wanted to make the feat more visible and serve as a propaganda function.

"Reluctantly, though...... Why don't you lend me some more money?" William turned his head to look at Charlumie, and then said.

"Never. ”

Charlumi replied categorically.

For the next half day, William commanded the old, weak, sick and disabled to clear and level the land. The weeds were removed, and then the horses were brought in and put on the plough to plow the land.

Looking at the old man who was half-buried in the soil, and didn't know when he might hang up, tremblingly flicking his whip, driving the horse to the ground, and plowing through the pit of different depths, like a dog planing, William began to doubt his goal in life for a moment......

"But...... Never mind...... Probably...... Forget it......"

With such a sense of powerlessness, William stopped the efforts of the old guys. Then he mobilized his men to go to the river to collect mud from the river, which William had originally intended to be directly manure. But considering the receptivity and acceptance of people in this era. He had to make it so difficult for him to implement a four-nursery rotation system, use manure or something, stop scaring these idiots, and then run to the church and report himself as a heretic. When the time comes, it will be bad if you want to be burned at the stake.

Therefore, there is no hope for manure for the time being. As for green manure, William is working hard at the moment. Fertilizer is an artifact that can only be hehe. The only things that William could count on to change the strength of the earth in a short period of time were the silt in the rivers and the humus in the mountains and forests.

Dig up these two things and fill them back with the soil that was dug out of the field. Even though it's just a slice, it's only a field where you can plant five or six pounds of seeds. But the amount of work is still large, which is a bit outrageous.

William had no choice, so he mobilized the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled to continue their efforts, and at the same time asked to get a piece of land and start plowing and sowing seeds. In this way, the last planting period was barely in time. And even then, only two-thirds of these soybean and alfalfa seeds are used. The rest of the seeds are still unused.

"Forget it, stock it up, let's talk about it next year. ”

Although he was unwilling, William had no other way than this.

This is the result of William's hard work for a week.

A few acres of land barely improved for growing soybeans and alfalfa. There is also the use of flat poles to carry water, which improves the water conservancy of the entire estate...... Although others think that William has done a lot of things, William himself feels that it is very insufficient.

"If it is seen by other traversers, it will definitely be laughed to death. William sighed in his heart.

So far, he's done everything he can do. Next, taking care of the bean seedlings, catching insects and weeds and so on, it is a long-term job. Just demonstrate it and let the farmers do it. Although it is just a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, in the case of the superiority of the number of people, there should be no problem in dealing with a few acres of land.

And so, after a busy week, William's life returned to normal.

"Ah, why, I finally recognized the reality, so I didn't go to make trouble?"

After that, after daily meals and training, I was surprised to find that William did not get into the carriage and go to the manor again this time. So Shalumi said this with a little surprise.

"All in all, the first phase has been completed. Now it's time to see the results of the autumn harvest. William ignored her and walked straight to his room.

"Anyway, is it pure?" said Charlumie, as she walked behind William.

"Well, sort of. William replied noncommittally.

"Is there any arrangement?" asked Charlumie.

"No...... bar. At least not yet. William was a little absent-minded.

"Oh...... Are you going to hunt?"

"Not interested. ”

"Chess?"

"No, it won't. ”

"I'll teach you. ”

"Don't. ”

"Then let's draw. How about I model you?"

"Hmm......" William thought for a moment, and Shalumi made himself a nude model. Although the little girl is a little smaller, this figure is really slim......

"Very good construction, but still dismissed. William finally replied.

"So what exactly do you want to do?" said Charlumi felt that she had a reason to be upset.

"Hmm......" William hesitated slightly, then stopped and looked at Charlumie.

"Eh, that, that ......" Charlumi, who was staring at him like this, was a little embarrassed.

"Hmm...... Ah, though...... But still ......"

"But what......" Hearing William say this, Charlumi was a little embarrassed.

"It's, you know, I'm actually bothered. William said.

"Actually, I'm bothered by that too. Charlumi bowed her head.

"No, no, no, you're different. William shook his head: "You're also an earl, so you must have more choices than me, ......right?" So, I wanted to ask you this. ”

"Ahh So you ask. Charlumi took a deep breath and regained her composure. looked at William very solemnly.

"Do you have any ways to make money?" asked William solemnly.

“...... Huh?"

Charlumi was instantly surprised. What William said was completely different, if not diametrically opposed, from what she imagined and what she wanted to hear.

"yes, well, yes. I mean, you need start-up capital for everything you want to do. Not to mention iron, iron. It's something that anyone wants, right?

There are no mines in the territory. If you don't have enough money, you can't buy enough iron, you can't build enough agricultural tools, and you can't expand production further. So I thought, sure enough, I still need a sum of money. But I don't have any savings. There is some balance in my father's public account of the territory, but I know with my toes that my father will not give me that...... So, I'll have to figure it out on my own.

Well...... By the way, in such a situation, taking out a loan is also a way, but I have asked people, whether it is the Church or the Knights Templar, these guys are all out of nine, and the debt of Hades is profitable, I dare not mess with this...... That's right,"

Speaking of this, William looked at Xia Lumi as if he had suddenly thought of something: "Lend me some money." I will pay you the interest, how about five cents? I will use the property of the small estate I manage as collateral—"

"- Duel. William was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Charlotine. He was very inexplicable to see that this guy Xia Lumi seemed to be very angry.

"Duel?" William was inexplicable, why did he want to duel so well? Neurotic, but he didn't think he needed it, inexplicably, but it didn't mean that Charimi thought the same way.

Charlumi von Hereford looked at William with a look of "he is very innocent", and he was even more angry. As he took off his lace gloves and slapped William's chest lightly, he said:

"If you win, I'll lend you money - up to two hundred gold coins. And there is no interest either. But if you lose, promise me one thing!"

"Are you serious?" asked William, reaching out and dusting the area where the glove had been drawn.

"Seriously, of course!" Charlumi exuded a serious aura all over her body, and of course, there was also a fighting spirit.

"That's good!" So William was also interested: "Then let's have a good fight! I want to see it too, what did your father praise your swordsmanship or something, but in fact you are bragging, right?"

"Don't cry when you lose. ”。
