Chapter 34: Two Years
"Scythe Opening Ceremony!"
In the fourth year of the new calendar, the golden autumn pastoral rice is yellow.
With the sound of a crisp gong, the black-clad golden-crowned sage harvested a bunch of ears of wheat with a scythe, symbolizing the beginning of the ceremony.
Behind him, the crowd on the highway cheered, raised their sickles, and began the autumn harvest with animal power machines, enjoying the joy of the harvest.
Feng Daofu clapped his hands and watched this scene with satisfaction.
He left the farmland, and the walls of the road were filled with large, brightly colored posters.
'Let the mountains bow their heads and make way for the great river!' β
'Ten points, 12 measures, 24 points! β
'Farm No. 14 in Oslo has set a record of 300 kilograms of rye per acre! β
'Bergen No. 2 Farm has set a record of 2,000 kilograms of sugar beet per mu! β
The words in bold are quite conspicuous.
But Vondolph knows that these data are relatively detailed.
After more than three years of development, this rotten land has gradually become fertile.
In fact, it is said that it is rotten land, but the soil in Norway is still relatively good.
Relying on the warm current of the North Atlantic, it is not only a world-class fishing ground, but also a rare fertile land in the Nordic world, which has only been well developed before.
Now, with advanced technology and a steady stream of immigrant labor, it has finally been developed in three years.
Breeding work is also being done.
Feng Daofu, an engineering dog, can't do it, and he hasn't studied it with an old professor at Tongliao University of Technology.
But when it comes to breeding, you can try it if you know it.
Build a greenhouse with clear glass.
In the greenhouse, we continue to select and cultivate lodging resistance, multiple ears, full grains, and strong traits, and every time there is progress, a part of the good seeds will be given to the agricultural priests to take out to various places.
With these means in place, it is foreseeable that the yield per mu will be higher and higher in recent years.
Coupled with a little help from the panel, such as the specialty - Grain Keeper, it gives the town a +20% yield of cereals, olives, fish, and dates.
In the past, the road transport network was restricted, and the national productivity could not be well coordinated.
Now there are labourers who have been abducted from the pit of the British Isles to baptize them. Baptism, with their participation, the first phase of the Super Road Project was fully completed and officially put into use in the middle of this year.
The several domination areas divided by the mountains will be more closely connected.
In some sections, wooden track-horse-drawn carriage technology was also used.
The principle of the track laid by wood is no different from that of modern railways, and the hard texture of oak is selected, and then it is treated with antiseptic.
The roadbed is rammed very strongly, and the sleepers are laid on the roadbed.
The combination of the softer sleepers and the hard roadbed can make the track smooth, and the car can travel quickly and smoothly on it, carrying twice as many passengers and goods as ordinary horse-drawn carriages, and the transportation speed can be greatly improved.
Thanks to these new technologies, Norwegian grain and fish are being imported into the Bay of LuleΓ₯ faster and more.
The industrial products of Luleo Bay can also be exported more, which can be said to promote industry and agriculture, and the number of people who can support the kingdom of Io is getting higher and higher.
These more and more resources are basically allocated to the vast majority of people for welfare, not per capita.
Only by improving the lives of believers can we better encourage believers to have children.
It is unrealistic to expect 18% of the money to solve 98% of domestic demand.
Speaking of which, the benefits are enough, these barbarians are finally willing to learn management, and after this group of people graduates, the reserve of grassroots civil servants is enough
After a busy day, Vondolph returned to his office and instructed the long-haired secretary on shift: "Inform all localities of the growth rate of this year's autumn harvest." β
The long-haired carrot, who has reached adulthood and has a baby, can step out of her long legs and start working.
However, the intern little lark asked curiously, "Sage, why do you spend so much time doing this?" β
Feng Daofu said in his heart, of course, it was for foreshadowing.
After casually pointing at her a few times, Vondolph picked up the latest information.
The first is the Swedish Civil War.
Ever since Albert had been struck by the Danish border wall, the ambitious prince had realistically abandoned his unrealistic strategy.
Abandon the army, take only his own lineage, and ride into Sweden alone.
Borrowing the Germanic people who took refuge in southern Sweden, and then relying on the support of the Germanic princes and the Hanseatic guilds, in the long-term semi-encirclement and peripheral attritional tug-of-war, has effectively eaten away at the power of the old Swedish king.
What I am most afraid of with few resources is a protracted war, I am a tyrant, and I will consume you.
Not surprisingly, the old king of Sweden will seek a head-on battle.
Originally, the civil war was going to last for eight years, until Albert was completely sure that he would agree.
Now that Margaret I is in force, he is also acting in the shadows, and the situation is likely to change.
The focus is on Vondolph's sheep cannibalism strategy.
Feng Dolph smacked his lips: "Tsk, the taxes of the common people are levied, but the taxes are reduced to the noble landlords, and the resentment of the Swedish people has begun."
It's just that the Queen of Denmark has nothing, but with the addition of some sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet, Master Feng who is bad to the end, the result is very different.
Denmark is also resentful, albeit less than Sweden.
However, the combination of the two has produced a chain reaction, just like the historical enclosure movement.
ββIn the 16th century, Spain and Portugal made a lot of money from the colonization, brought a large amount of gold and silver from the Americas, and the currency was depreciated, and the Spaniards disdained production, so the English made Spanish money from production and gave Spain artificial sheepskin coats.
Because there was too much profit, the sheep cannibalism movement began.
The land of England was herded on a large scale, and there was no food to eat, so the poor people ate potatoes, and the rich relied on grain imports for special supplies.
Where is the bread? Hairy bears.
Originally, the woolly bear serfs and the old men were very harmonious, greed had not yet been stimulated, and resources were generally enough to be allocated.
Suddenly, one day, the English came to buy food at a high price, so the harmony was broken, and the life of the furry bear serfs deteriorated rapidly.
This gave rise to a group of fugitives that terrified Eurasia, the Cossack cavalry.
The Cossacks went out on their own to eat and drink Lazar, so they found the English to do the fur business.
The Cossacks, armed with their spears and spears, mounted their fiery horses, loaded with two bottles of vodka, set off, and fought all the way to the Pacific Ocean and to Alaska in the Americas, with only one purpose - mink.
This eastward journey has produced many stories.
The world is a unified world, each event can always promote a series of changes in the state of affairs, history is systematically developed, but history textbooks will be edited according to the ideological needs of each country, so that history is cut into the history that each country needs, and the sense of coherence and mutual influence is lost.
From a macro point of view, it can also be said that the sheep of the English people from a certain angle led to the hanging of Chongzhen.
That's why it's all to blame Benzema!
Feng Daofu flipped through it, and unsurprisingly found the little movement of the queen's mother-in-law.
"First instruct the pirate princess Alverda to quietly occupy the island of Gotland."
The Swedish nobles were then contacted to ask them to issue an invitation to arbitrate the dispute over the throne. Are you ready to officially get involved in the Swedish Civil War? β
"This is aware of the internal contradictions in Denmark, and I plan to move to the outside, and then use expansion to make a bigger cake to solve the hidden dangers."
Vondolph complimented: "My queen mother-in-law is awesome! β
The Swedish campaign will most likely be advanced.
But considering the interests of both parties, and considering the efficiency of the nobles in this era, Feng Daofu estimated that even if it was advanced, it would be next year.
"One year to go"
Vondolf turned up the European intelligence.
The anti-French campaign continues.
The source of this crowd's assault on France was Charlemagne's frustration on his expedition to Spain.
Charlemagne launched an expedition, but because of the stubborn resistance of the Spanish Crescents, the French encircled for a month and finally chose to withdraw and return to France to preserve their vitality.
This is undoubtedly a wise move.
It's a pity that he was attacked by someone who didn't talk about martial arts.
The Roncesvalles Pass was the only way to return Charlemagne's army.
The Basques chose to wait for Charlemagne's army in ambush here.
When Charlemagne approached the pass, the Basques separated Charlemagne's rearguard from the main guard with the help of narrow, sloping mountain passes and dense forests.
After a fierce battle, the enemy killed a large number of French soldiers, plundered captured hostages, booty and baggage, and then disappeared into the mountains and forests under the cover of night.
The raid on the valley of Roncesvalles not only brought Charlemagne to military humiliation, but also had to suffer the loss of a large number of elite soldiers and excellent officials.
This failure also quietly bred ambitions in the Germanic region, which led to the subsequent independence.
The first anti-French alliance was also launched on this basis.
Now, relying on Charlemagne's personal conquest, he has stabilized the Rhine front bordering Germany in the east, and has started a long tug-of-war with Otto the Great, the Germanic co-lord.
The Pyrenees front in the west, through the establishment of the Aquitaine kingdom, divided more interests, and the southern nobles led by Louis, the son of the Emperor and king of Aquitaine, successfully withstood the Spanish offensive.
The English front was handed over to William, Duke of Normandy.
The illegitimate son of King Alfred of England, because of Edward's outstanding performance in Scotland, felt hopeless, so he chose to join the French.
In the Anglo-French War, he showed excellent command skills and successfully stabilized the situation in Normandy.
Vondolph said, "No wonder Prince Edward is so anxious about Scotland. β
"Except that I arch the fire behind my back, it is also for the throne."
This is always the case with Game of Thrones.
For example, Edward bought off John de Mentis, a Scottish knight, to capture William Wallace in Rob Royston, near Glasgow, and prepare to take him to the Tower of London for trial.
Prince Edward wants to use the death of a patriot to add a new honor to himself!
"Courage, sacrifice, greed, betrayal."
Feng Daofu took out the newly forged Ai Ou Juhe Xinwu: "This is always the case with independent forces that have not been purified. β
"There are also a thousand days to raise soldiers, before this Nordic chaos, pull to Scotland to make a bright appearance!"
Thanks to 'kk5418' for the 100 point tip.
Transition chapter.
Growth rates are the lifeblood of Bonapartism.
With the growth line, when they take things from ordinary people, they can put on a layer of skin.
With the presence of the analgesic growth rate, the average person does not show much resistance to deprivation.
Until the analgesics run out, the sluggish growth rate and the unfair distribution system are no longer a big deal, and ordinary people feel more and more pain, so they will naturally come back to their senses and start asking for what they have been deprived of, what belongs to them.
