Working Prophet.

Chapter 310 True Farming

In addition to calling on his vassals to take the lead in adopting new farm tools and new farming methods.

Ilea also contacted dozens of blacksmith shops in Ironhorn City through the Golden Fleece Chamber of Commerce, ordered a large number of shareshares and soil dividers, and then called all the carpenters in the territory to start making plow frames.

In this way, when the plow and the subdivided soil sheet meet the green field, they can be assembled with the wooden mold board to form a plow, and wheels can be added later to adjust the depth of plowing.

As for the planter, Li Yu chose the columbine after careful consideration.

The earliest origin of the columbine cart can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. It can not only dig ditches and sow seeds, but also cover soil and suppress them. It has multiple roles and greatly improves the efficiency of sowing. The most important thing is that more than 2000 years have passed, and it has not been completely eliminated. , There are still some remote rural areas in use.

Of course, it is incomparable with modern seeder equipment, but the advantage is that it does not need to burn diesel or gasoline. For Li Yu who can only bring diesel or gasoline from another universe, the columbine car can be said to be the best choice.

Moreover, it is not difficult to manufacture. The main part is a wooden structure, and only the legs need plow blades. The blacksmiths in Lvye are responsible for the manufacture of these plow blades.

In addition, the long-handled sickle is only used when harvesting, so there is no rush, and it can be crafted slowly later.

In short, Li Yu and Yi Liya tried their best to let each craftsman only be responsible for the production of one part through the internal division of labor and the purchase of parts, which greatly improved the manufacturing efficiency of new agricultural tools.

In this way, a sufficient number of new farm tools can be built before the arrival of spring plowing.

At the same time, the female lord also issued several government orders one after another, encouraging everyone to reclaim wasteland by reducing rent and tax credits.

According to Li Yu's preliminary estimate, the new farm tools can increase the farming efficiency by two to three times, and considering the shift from the two-field system to the four-field rotation, the workload has also doubled, that is to say, each farmer can actually use The cultivated area will be expanded by at least half.

The nobles in the western region lacked everything except land.

Of course, the Arias family is no exception, so Miss Rabbit is also very concerned about this matter. Even if the rent is reduced, as long as the number of farmland is increasing, her total income will also increase.

However, with the popularization of new farm tools and the increase of cultivated area, the previous land layout of strip field system obviously became inappropriate.

The shape of the traditional farmland on the continent of Bratis is similar to that of Europe in the Middle Ages. They are all long strips, and a family often owns several strips of land scattered throughout the village.

From the perspective of Chinese descendants, the distribution and shape of this kind of fields is undoubtedly very strange, but behind this is actually a gap in production tools.

Both Bratis and medieval Europe used heavy plows. This kind of plow needs 4 to 8 oxen to pull, and it is very difficult to turn. Farmers can only let the oxen go forward until they can’t walk. , and then continue plowing in another place.

However, after switching to a light-duty plow, it can be pulled by one or two cows, and it is not so difficult to turn. In addition to the increase in the cultivated area, it is no longer necessary to use scattered strips of land to cultivate people. Ran.

So Ilea had to ask her administrative officials to go to the village to redistribute the land.

After a month of tossing around like this, all the low-level officials were exhausted, and in the re-division of the land, various contradictions would inevitably arise. Some people felt that the newly acquired land was not as fertile as before, and some I feel far away from where I live...

Of course, the most important thing is that after the shape of cultivated land changes, many people don't know how to cultivate it.

Fortunately, the Hughes from the Shuangxiu Church showed up in time, and even Li Yu himself showed up to demonstrate the usage of various new agricultural tools.

For this reason, he also specially went to the countryside in the suburbs on Saturday, and asked the local farmers, especially the elderly, about farming essentials.

And his efforts were not in vain.

Seeing that the Prophet rolled up his trouser legs, stepping on the mud and digging hard, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the believers disappeared a lot, and they began to study hard.

After the demonstration, Li Yu asked the farmers below to come up one by one to try it out, while he corrected them. He kept busy until the sun went down, and then Li Yu went back to Teacup Castle to have something to eat, and chatted with Ilea about government affairs for a while.

The main reason is to ask Yi Liya to borrow a few officials who understand the law to go to the territory of the Shuangxiu religion to popularize the law.

Li Yu does not intend to let the Shuangxiu Church establish its own law. Although this is quite tempting, it goes against his original intention of returning the secular to the secular and the church to the church.

He did not set up the tribunal to deal with general crimes, but a self-inspection agency within the church, responsible for supervising members of other organizations.

Although it was confirmed that the two Hughes had raped and murdered the peasant girl before, it was framed by the Silver Moon Church, but Li Yu was still vigilant against the occurrence of such things.

Especially with the continuous development and expansion of the Shuangxiu religion, the power in the hands of some people will inevitably expand accordingly. Li Yu needs a department to supervise and restrict those people in a timely manner.

As for the daily security management, it is still carried out in accordance with the laws of the continent of Bratis. Regardless of whether Hughes or believers commit any crimes, they will be punished normally, and no one will specialize.

…………

This is probably the busiest time Li Yu has been since he came to Lvye. He has never been so tired from slaughtering dragons and dealing with weekends. He has blisters on his hands and feet. It's all sweat stains.

But after that, he went to the industrial park to take another look. Zhang Yanlin sent him the design drawings and renderings four days ago.

Li Yu saw that there was no problem, so Zhang Yanlin contacted the construction team to start work.

Since it was already off-duty time, Li Yu didn't contact her, so he just passed by.

Unexpectedly, when I went in, I found that the construction was still going on inside, and Zhang Yanlin didn't leave, and was supervising the work of the workers.

After seeing Li Yu, Zhang Yanlin was also taken aback, "You've turned dark, I haven't seen you these days, did you go to the beach?"

"No, I farmed the sun." Li Yu took off the [game sunglasses].

As soon as this bastard saw Zhang Yanlin, it flashed blindly, and still enthusiastically popped up the window, saying that it encountered a target that could be captured.

"........."

"Boss, you know how to farm. Don't be kidding. Didn't you grow up in the city like me?" Zhang Yanlin opened his eyes wide.

"No way, I can only learn now."

"As expected of my boss, the jokes he tells are not so cold." Zhang Yanlin said with a smile.

"I didn't tell any jokes." Li Yu said, "Besides, why haven't you left yet? Our company always gets off work on time."

"Uh, didn't I think that I just came here, so I should show a positive attitude." Zhang Yanlin said, "Actually, you don't have to take care of me, but this will put me under pressure."
