"Well, I'll be able to do it in three days."

Cole said with a puff that his blacksmith shop had been acquired by the castle with a 60% stake, and that O'Neill was theoretically his immediate boss, and that he was quite polite.

"Mr. Colt, engrave your name on the improved heavy plough, if it doesn't work, it's my fault and O'Neill, and if it works, the farmers of the whole territory will remember your name."

"Colt heavy plow, interesting, I'll change it right away."

Colt was in high spirits, picked up an iron ingot and threw it into the furnace and began to get busy.

Li Feng and the others went to several carpenter shops in the castle and instructed them to make several farm tools they had designed one by one, and the same should be engraved with their names.

Three days later, when the heavy plough and farming tools were ready, Li Feng moved them to the farmland together and called nearby farmers to watch the experiment.

The biggest change of the new heavy plough is the addition of two concave and upward plough walls on the conical ploughshare, which is a bit strange in shape, but the overall weight is a lot lighter.

Li Feng asked people to bring a strong ox, the ox rail was on the neck of the ox, and two thick hemp ropes extended from the tail of the ox rail and tied to the two traction handles of the new heavy plow.

"Let's go."

The ox walked slowly forward with a cheerful step.

After only a few steps, someone exclaimed: "Oh my God, how is it possible that the plough that used to be pulled by four oxen can now be pulled by one ox?" ”

The farmers couldn't believe it, and even O'Neill and Smith rubbed their eyes, even if the new plough was lightweight, it could turn over a field that had just thawed and the soil was still very sticky.

Li Feng, who carefully observed this scene, nodded: "The new plough has reduced at least seventy percent of the pulling force of the ploughing ox, and after putting on the ox rail that is easier to exert force, it has saved at least thirty percent of the ploughing ox's physical strength. ”

After hearing this, O'Neill did not stop the shock in his heart, and listened to Li Feng continue: "Now that spring sowing is approaching, there is no extra time to study the horse-drawn plow. ”

"In this way, food production will increase rapidly, and the population will grow rapidly, boss, you are great." Smith interrupted excitedly: "It's just, boss, have you thought about it, the plow you invented is so efficient, and the land in Dia's territory will always be reclaimed one day, what should I do then?" ”

O'Neill: "When the time comes, there will be a way to do it, the boss is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about, don't blink, now let you see another more interesting thing that the boss has invented." ”

Clapping his hands, two of his men pushed a strangely shaped farm tool over.

Li Feng grabbed the stubble, pointed to this farm tool and said: "This thing is called a cocoon car, it can replace the farmer's manual sowing method, as long as the seed outlet below is adjusted, the cocoon can be automatically completed by pushing the cocoon car." ”

"Not only that, but on both sides of the cart, there are two movable pieces of wood that automatically cover the soil after sowing....."

"With this kind of cart, a farmer can do more than three times the amount of work in a day."

"It's amazing, Steward Skron."

One of the onlookers stepped forward and reached out to touch it, and asked boldly.

"There must be." Li Feng said with certainty: "This year's spring sowing is about to start, you can take out half of the field to try, and I will ask the carpenter shop to sell it to you at a 7% discount." ”

"I'm sure Steward Scron, I'm going to give it a try this year."

"I want it too~~"

Looking at the enthusiastic response of the masses, Li Feng pressed his hand: "It's not just a car, when the autumn harvest comes, I will also invent a horse-drawn harvester, which is pulled by horses and pulled by two horses, and can complete the harvesting of more than ten acres of land in one day." There are also quite a few horses in the castle stables, which can be rented to everyone at a discount. ”

Li Feng gestured a finger: "Each family only needs 1 harvester, and the wheat fields that used to be harvested in 10 days can be completed in two days, and you don't have to work so hard." ”

"There are also working machines that replace manpower, wind-powered aqueducts, windmills, and mills...... I will invent it for you, and I will come out of you and return to you. ”

"Long live the Steward of the Scroon, long live the Steward of the Scroon."

The heartfelt cheers of the surrounding farmers drowned out wave after wave, and the merciful Lord has at last blessed us farmers with a kind and excellent steward.

That guy in Lauderno? Phew, why don't you die early?

Li Feng sighed in his heart, finally, he could implement his own methods without fear of anyone.

Not enough, far from enough.

He wanted to complete the road of agricultural mechanization from sowing to harvesting as soon as possible, replacing manpower with animal power, wind power, and even steam power.

In addition to the "strongest manure" he researched, and a "pesticide" extracted from chrysanthemums and formulated with Cordyceps, the main task of this year is to set off an agricultural revolution in Dialing.

As for Robert's complaint, the farmers would lie at home and rest after a few days of work, doing nothing?

Don't worry at all, more consumer items are waiting for them.

.........

More than 20 days later, spring sowing arrived.

With the sweetness of last year, coupled with the promotion of new plows and new farm tools, this year's spring sowing is more lively than ever.

Standing on the castle lookout and looking at the hot scene in the farmland around the castle, Robert's eyes were about to fall, and he didn't know that he thought he had seen a beautiful woman again.

He and Li Feng also had lunch here, the purpose of which was to watch the picture below that had not been seen for a thousand years.

Crazy, all of them are crazy.

Those farmers were like enchanted people, immersed in the fields and working hard, even if the lord's direct field they did not let go, and they deviated from the big picture.

There is no need for overseers to supervise with whips, no need to persecut, all of them consciously and spontaneously come to the fields they are responsible for, get up early and work greedily at night, as if they don't feel tired at all.

There were a few second-B teenagers, who were doing it, and they also sang mountain songs, which made the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law blush, and the fields were full of laughter.

Niu B's is that there are also some children who chase their ducks and follow the adults to graze, and there is a burst of chickens and dogs.

"Haha, haha, Krona you see, that kid's duck fell into the water, grass, that farmer actually stole chickens." Robert screamed at the castle like a child.

Li Feng was certainly very happy, but today's scene was actually a bit unexpected to him.

This beautiful picture of working people working together and laughing and laughing only saw it when he was a child in the real world, and now he sees it and misses it a lot.

45. Edward's blackmail

It seems that the bottom working people all over the world are actually similar, give them a safety and food and clothing, and then give them the motivation and hope to run for a better life, and they can do it for you.

"Robert, do you know why they're working so hard?" Taking advantage of his good mood, he didn't mind teaching the puppet lords around him a lesson.

Robert wondered, "Why?" ”

"Because their private property is secured, they don't have to worry about the tax officer suddenly taking one or two of them when they raise chickens and ducks."

"In the same way, private property is safeguarded, so that they dare to take their things and trade, exchange and spend them openly in the bazaar, without fear of being confiscated by the tax collector who suddenly appears."

"It is only when private property is protected that farmers dare to keep their savings for future generations without fear of being levied almost 100 percent in inheritance tax by the lord."

"It's because there is too much inheritance tax that those farmers donate their inheritance to the church when they die, because they can't leave it to their sons anyway, and the church is kinder to them than you lords."

"I see." Robert nodded and looked at Li Feng incredulously: "My good brother, did you already know all this." ”

"Yes, but I didn't tell you, let alone your father."

"Hmph."

Robert lost his temper and turned away, looking in the direction to put out the fire.

"Hey, friendly reminder, no matter how many women you have, if you dare to consider your head because other women are not good to Elena, my honorable baron."

Robert looked back angrily: "Knows." ”

Li Feng smiled and got up to leave.

Today, Colt's distant cousin, Anna, came to visit her relatives and showed a strong curiosity about his young and handsome butler.

Being curious about a man is often the beginning of a woman's fall.

This distant cousin is not bad, she is only 17 years old this year, and Li Feng plans to take the opportunity to take it.

Both sides are riding horses, walking, kissing by the river .... I haven't tasted my 17-year-old sister yet, so I don't have to try it quickly.

Under a big tree, when the two sides were drunk, Li Feng was about to make further moves, Tom came with Oryse and John on horseback, and said in Li Feng's ear: "Baron Edward heard that Dia received a bumper harvest of grain, and took the opportunity to play on the swing, and the lord asked you to go back and discuss." ”

"Damn it, go." Li Feng frowned, his good mood was ruined, and he was very unhappy.

"Dear Miss Anna, you go home first, take a shower and wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go." After appeasing the beautiful girl, Li Feng turned over and got on the horse and did it in one go.

Anna's eyes were starry: "Handsome." ”

……......

In the castle, Robert was furious, and was desperately throwing things, scolding and scolding: "Bastard, bastard, Edward, this old immortal thing, actually wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, blame that guy Skron, bastard." ”

"What do you blame me for?"

The voice sounded from behind, and Robert was trembling, and quickly stopped scolding, but soon he straightened up: "I said to recruit knights, but you refused, now it's okay, Edward has just formed a knight group of 20 people and dares to ask us for food, what can we resist." ”

"How much does he want?"

"100 Tarun."

"That's 5,000 pounds, damn, I really dare to speak." Li Feng was angry in his heart, but quickly calmed down.

According to the rules of this world, if you don't give it, you will definitely have another fight, and every year many lords make appointments to fight because of this kind of thing.

To be honest, Li Feng is not afraid of him, but he has to think carefully about whether he can draw it or not.

After the reform of the official system, the total strength of Dialing's troops has been distributed to the grassroots level to maintain and manage, and the actual soldiers of the castle are more than 50 people, and there are more than 80 people who gather various knights and their attendants.

If Li Feng, Tom, Jerry, Vic, Kurim and other backbones also fight, and then gather 500 farmers and use a suitable battle formation, the chance of winning is at least eighty percent.

But, it's not a good deal.

He is not Edward's reckless man, wasting manpower and material resources for petty profits, fighting this battle will only make the already small population wasted, and let the key reforms that are now being carried out in the territory stall.

Forget it, learn to frustrate Song, it's not too much.

"Skron, what do you think?" Robert urged anxiously.

Li Feng apologized: "Robert, I asked the Glenn Knight, who is good at negotiations, to tell Edward that we will only give him 50 Taren of grain this year, and from next year, we will give him 100 Taren every year, do you think he will agree?" ”

"Yes, how could it not..... What, you really plan to give in, it's a shame, he's always been my father's defeat, Diya took it to me, how can you be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

"There is a saying that a manly man can bend and stretch, don't worry, Robert, one day, what Edward took from you, I will let him return it twice."

Robert's face was full of indignation: "Does it have to be like this?" ”

Li Feng replied affirmatively: "Yes." ”

"Forget it, you decide, remember what you said today, and I must find a place in the future."

"I'll have Edward kneel in front of you later."

"Oh, I'm going to find Elena, she made me something delicious."

After Robert left, Li Feng sat on his lord's throne and instructed the personal servants outside: "Come on, bring me Kurim, Tom, Jerry, and Smith." ”

After a while, several people arrived one after another.

"Krona / Boss ~~"

"You may be seated!" Li Feng waved his hand: "I came to you today, mainly for the following things—negotiation, sabotage, and military training. ”

..........

A few days later, Edward readily agreed to Li Feng's proposal, and after receiving 50 Taren grain, he agreed to receive 100 Taren grain from Diya today next year.

And Kurim also found a few old subordinates according to Li Feng's request, assigned tasks, and began a whole year of harassment and sabotage policies against the surrounding territories, especially Luke's territory.

That's what they used to do, and with the full support of Dialing, they were even more handy at burning, killing, and looting.

The "Fighting Thieves Group" was born, and its professional level is second to none in the industry.

In March of this year, Roger and Leondo went to Lukeling with a group of men to wreak havoc, setting traps and killing several knights, much to Edward's grief, so much that he had to recruit wandering knights.

A few days later, Johnson, Glenn, and Rabbi infiltrated Edward's granary and set a fire, burning all the food he had extorted from Dia, along with his own food he had accumulated over the years.

In April and May, Vincent and Jesse went out to wreak havoc in Luke's territory, fighting guerrillas, burning farmland, houses, and wells to poison them, and killing one of Edward's illegitimate sons, killing five knights by the way.
