In the second year of the new calendar, spring planting in Northern Europe came later than usual.

The wheelbarrow, parked in front of the side wall, took the last packet of dried grain.

The first spring ploughing in the second year of the new calendar is a complex that is difficult to give up in Jutland.

"I'll be back!"

Albert looked at the Danish city wall unwillingly, pulled the reins, and gave the order to withdraw.

For the sake of the autumn harvest, the Jutland War initiated by the Germanic princes ended in vain.

At the head of the city, Brooke put down his monoculars and looked at Father Mai beside him: "Raphael, do you think he will attack Jutland next time?" ”

Raphael shook his head affirmatively: "No." ”

The Jutland side wall is a place for military training, a brigade of rotating recruits, and a large number of assembly lines to brush experience.

The Danish priest came with the newly rotated brigade to provide medical care with the team, and also to fulfill the Sage's latest instruction of 'the priest should go down and walk more', and to do practical things, seek practical measures, and seek practical results.

Raphael had a high intelligence and a strong memory, and he studied with the sage for more than a month and was exposed to a lot of new knowledge.

Seeing the retreating Germanic army, Raphael made an analysis based on what he had learned during this time: "The Sage's War and Logistics says that the size of the population and the level of productivity limit the scale of war. ”

"Under the conditions of low social productivity, low agricultural output, and fewer metal farming tools and tools, the population that can be supported is limited, and it needs to be supplemented by sideline activities such as fishing and hunting."

"In this stage of primary productive forces, the labor force works for a long time throughout the year, and the dispatch of a large number of labor force to participate in the war will inevitably affect social production, so the social mobilization force for organizing the war, the scale of the war, and the duration of the war are also correspondingly limited."

"For example, the main organizers and participants of wars in Europe were mainly members of the families of princes and nobles, precisely because these people were non-laborers who could take time off work to participate in the war."

"The backward conditions of production have also increased the difficulty of organizing the war, and the level of social production restricts the war from being prolonged and expanded."

The Danish priest studied with the Holy One for more than a month.

Under the teachings of the Sage, Raphael came into contact with the new world and had already undergone radical changes.

If you want to meet a friend you have met in the past, you will definitely be surprised, and maybe it will feel weird.

This is not a kind of cow

"Backward productive forces tie up labor to the land, which is completely different from us."

Raphael has fully embraced the Sage's new ideas, and he has a sense of ownership when he opens his mouth: "Under the wisdom of the Sage, we have completed the five major agricultural technological innovations of soil, chemical fertilizer, animal power, seeds, and water conservancy. ”

"And the latest struvite mine excavated in Iceland."

The three most important growth elements in the growth process of crops, the most need to be supplemented, and the largest amount of supplementation are: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Struvite is a high-quality nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer, and with soil fertilizer, it can basically meet the needs.

The abundant fish harvest around Iceland attracts about tens of millions of seabirds of all kinds.

Due to its geographical location, the land is also a transit point for birds migrating between North America and Europe, with millions of nests alone, so the island has accumulated guano for countless years, and in some places it has even accumulated tens of meters high.

Struvite is one of the biggest harvests of developing Iceland.

Finland, as a country of a thousand lakes, of course, has a large number of birds, but because of the climate, it is difficult for guano to become guano stone, and guano can easily be leached and lost back to the sea.

Unlike Iceland, there are 200~300 volcanoes, geothermal resources are extremely abundant, in the high temperature environment of guano soil organic phosphate can be decomposed instantaneously, and leave rich phosphate, under the action of alkaline groundwater, soluble phosphate and calcium carbonate reaction, which left struvite mine.

Iceland's world-class mines in the equatorial zone and Latin America are certainly not comparable.

But the Io Kingdom doesn't raise so many people now, and struvite + soil fertilizer is more than enough.

Of course, synthetic ammonia is the best, but this thing can only be carried out under high temperature and high pressure, and it is basically impossible to make without high-quality alloy steel.

This can not be done by stupid black and coarse thickening, the reaction tower has moving parts, such as valves, compressors, etc., which must be finely processed and cannot be over-thickened.

And once the thickness is too large, the pores and defects inside the steel during casting are almost unavoidable, and when the material strength is not enough, it is almost impossible to use it under high pressure and high temperature, otherwise those old and thick earth cannons will not move to blow up the chamber.

Not to mention the Middle Ages, even in modern times, not every country can independently produce fertilizers from synthetic ammonia.

It can be said that cannons and butter are two sides of the same coin.

"The more developed productive forces can liberate more labor, and with the continuous replenishment of labor, we can also support Jutland overseas and carry out rotational training while carrying out super projects."

Raphael continued: "Such a thing could not be done by the Germanic princes. ”

The agricultural management mode of combining the use of nutrients with deep cultivation and fine hoeing, thick manure soil, and soil to help the soil is to maintain the efficient use of land by relying on a large amount of manpower input, which can be regarded as an intensive management.

The method is good, but it requires more labor.

In terms of grain production per unit of land, until the 17th and 18th centuries, the grain output per unit of land in the homeland was much higher than that of the European continent.

During the Carolingian period, the grain output of Western Europe, in terms of the ratio of harvest to seed, was sometimes as low as 2:1, that is, when two buckets of grain were harvested, one bucket was left as the seed for the following year.

This is also because the continent experienced a relatively severe economic recession in the late antiquity and early Middle Ages.

As a conquering people, the Germanic people have not yet completely transitioned from the nomadic and nomadic state to the stage of sedentary agriculture, and the farming methods are primitive and extensive, coupled with the sparse land in Europe and the relative shortage of labor, it is natural to adopt this extensive management.

If you want to cultivate intensively, you don't have so much labor, so you can only sow seeds and wait for harvest.

Unlike my hometown, there is too much population and too little arable land.

In agriculture, many things are adapted to local conditions.

Just like the fact that Eastern Rome did not popularize the heavy plough, it is said that agricultural technology has stagnated, but this is actually because the farmland along the Aegean Sea is mostly sandy and not suitable for heavy ploughing.

Without enough labor and advanced animal power, the Germanic princes had to watch the sky and fight.

"In order to make ends meet, laborers have to carry out agriculture, fishing and hunting all year round to make ends meet, as well as to satisfy the nobility."

"Only the nobles who did not need to work in the vassal states could have time to participate in the war, and the backward productive forces also limited the level of organizational consumption of war materials such as grain, horses, and metals."

"The labor force of the nobles who accompanied the army should not go out for a long time, otherwise it will delay the agricultural harvest in the country."

"Destructive methods such as going deep behind enemy lines to massacre enemy labor and destroying arable land will also cause the enemy to retaliate subsequently and cause both sides to lose, so there will be an agreement in European wars not to seriously injure enemy nobles on the battlefield and not to capture and kill non-combatants."

"Instead of choosing the season of spring plowing and autumn harvest, the battlefield is chosen to avoid arable land, capture enemy combatants and accompanying labor force and allow redemption and release. This is what the aristocracy called etiquette. ”

"The essence is to protect each other's levels of production and avoid permanent destruction through war."

In essence, it is similar to the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn aristocracy, which is the formula relationship between war and productivity.

"Albert didn't have that much capital to waste his precious labor on siege."

"Even if he is willing, the nobles under his command will have opinions."

"In order to rule Sweden smoothly, he can't fall out with his vassals now."

Raphael summed it up: "When the spring ploughing is over, if nothing else, he will bypass Jutland and choose to land directly in southern Sweden by water from Hamburg, and unite with the Swedish nobles who have taken refuge in him." ”

Brooke smacked his lips with some regret: "If he doesn't come, our Grand Duke Jutland will probably not continue to provide logistics for free." ”

"The Grand Duke of Jutland may not be long before he drives us away, and the Third Brigade has less opportunity to eat and drink for free and train for free. It's a pity. ”

Even if the relationship between the saint and the Grand Duke of Jutland is special, they will not bring their own dry food to help defend the city, and the materials are provided by the Grand Duke of Jutland.

is still the same sentence, the premise of marriage is because of the same interests, and it will not be because of the marriage to fund the brother-in-law to buy a house, buy a car, and marry a wife, and it is very realistic to be a lord.

Now that there is no great enemy, of course, it is time to drive people away realistically.

Said father-in-law and father-in-law arrived.

Within a few days, Feng Daofu received a letter from his father-in-law on the 4th, which meant that his father-in-law's family had no surplus food, and the new package of Xiaomi was hungry and thin.

He didn't dwell on it much, the number of grassroots civil servants trained was not enough, and now was not the time to backstab his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Given the order to withdraw his troops from Brooke, Vondolph picked up the intelligence from the Danish side.

"There is no need to use troops, but the effect is better than war, this is a genius strategy."

The black-haired wife, who was in charge of the minister, said, "But many lords are watching cautiously, and this strategy will take many years. ”

Vondolph: "Expected. ”

Sheep cannibalism is a protracted process, and it is very common for years or decades to happen.

For example, in the history of England, in 1782 the Ringsted area of Northampton proposed a land enclosure, and the result was that there was too much local opposition to the enclosure, and it was not until 1829 that the enclosure finally began 47 years later, in 1829.

However, this was also the relationship between the decline of royal power and the entry into the parliamentary era at that time.

"The current feudal lords can use violent means, and there is a natural convenience in the enclosure."

"Just by raising the rent, you can collect more land transfer money to force tenant farmers to quit their rents," Vondolph said. ”

"So what is missing now is to push them behind their backs and make them make up their minds."

"Behind the scenes?"

Mrs. Brunette: "You said that the Queen of Denmark is the smartest woman, what if she sees what is going on?" ”

Even smart people will have the limitations of the times.

Feng Daofu said with a smile: "In the case of not harvesting currency, it will take a long time for these private trade activities to reflect on the above. ”

"It takes time for her to notice the problem."

"All I need is this time difference."

"When she reacts, the magnates have tasted the sweetness, and this sheep cannibalism has become a trend."

"Denmark's revival queen is good at borrowing from the momentum, not going against the trend."

"This has never been something Margaret I was good at doing!"

Even if there has been a bloody precedent of the enclosure movement, there will still be a large number of people who will fall on the same hook in the future.

The only lesson that humanity has learned from history is that humanity never learns its lesson.

As long as there is human nature, these strategies of exploiting human nature will always work.

This is the bride price that von Dorf prepared for the Queen of Denmark.

This trick was also used in Sweden.

Mrs. Brunette: "How?" ”

Vondolf: "Pack a few nobles from the Eastern Empire and promote afternoon tea to the nobles of Denmark and Sweden." ”

"The Nordic barbarians have always yearned for everything in the Eastern Empire, take advantage of this, let them drink tea, add our sugar, give a thumbs up after drinking, and praise Yo Xi, Norway's white sugar, a big drop is good!"

"The nobles of the Eastern Empire love something, it's called a high-end atmosphere!"

"If you don't study the Nordic turtle, can you still be called a nobleman?"

"If it's not enough, then promote the tea again, the small pot of tea is made by the master, inherited from the East for thousands of years, which can be beautiful and strong to stimulate their desire to consume!"

"When the time comes, let out the words and buy wool with sugar and tea. Do you think they're going crazy? ”

Secretly, I will develop a mission among the noble wives, and give them the fertility buff of the Iojiao, and the effect seen by the eyes around them is called a two-pronged approach!

Mrs. brunette is already stunned.

Even if she is as smart as her, under the restrictions of the times, she can't imagine such a sassy operation!

It's just too undisciplined!

The brunette gave her a wordless look.

Vondolf was so thick-skinned that he ignored it and began to send rabbit telegrams to the shadows in Denmark and Sweden.

Then he picked up the black-haired lady and began to undercurrent.

First of all, the packaging.

According to the teachings of the sages, each herbal tea is packed into different small jars, a set of 10 small jars.

There is also a promotional leaflet in each small pot of tea, claiming that this is a fine product made by ten of the top tea masters of the Eastern Empire.

One of the raw materials is moss taken from the mysterious Iceland overseas and absorbed the essence of tens of thousands of years... Icelandic tea!

The leaflet also features the titles and experiences of the ten masters.

Although they have not heard the names of these masters at all, as long as they are loud enough, in the era of insufficient information, they can only think that they are unheard.

When it's packed, it's a please.

As soon as all kinds of tall and tall came out, they directly suppressed the Nordic turtles, and drinking afternoon tea began to be popular.

The aristocratic ladies also began to spread the Io-legal doctrine.

Because of the true blessing power, they feel that they have found the truth, and their enthusiasm for learning is high, and they often participate in organized salons, collective Fa study discussions and collective Dharma propagation, and eat small snacks collectively by the way.

The hidden desires of the nobles were stimulated, and at this time it was rumored that wool was collected at a high price for luxury goods.

When the wool was actually traded for 'sweet salt', some impatient nobles began to evict the tenants and graze sheep directly in the wheat fields.

The sheep eat man, and the wheels begin to turn.

At the same time, the wheels are also turning in Scotland.

This plot was originally wanted to be written more funny and witty, but the dry one written in the end was mixed with water, and there was no state in the matter, and I broke my promise yesterday, sorry!
