Chapter 86 Harvest
Unknowingly, the saying that fresh milk is a "smart medicine" has spread in Wesson's circle. In addition, there are also sayings such as the younger you start drinking, the more effective you are, and the longer you drink continuously, the smarter you are. .

When Frederick came to Chestnut Village again, he also heard that drinking fresh milk had diarrhea because the fresh milk would expel the stupid elements in the body, and if he continued drinking until he didn't have diarrhea, he would start to become smarter.

Under the influence of this trend, the price of fresh milk has increased slightly. 10 liters of fresh milk has been sold for 11 copper coins, and the price of heifers has also increased a little.

Frederick remained silent about this. In fact, this statement is not wrong. Drinking milk regularly can indeed promote brain development.

Compared with the so-called "smart soup" cooked with flowers and plants that I don't know where to pick, milk is more reliable.

But today Frederick didn't come to Chestnut Village Parallax for this matter. This is one of Wesenling's new agricultural technology promotion bases. The wheat strengthened by Matthias last year was ready to be harvested. Let's take a look at the situation.

The staff of the Tax Bureau estimating the summer tax have been working here for a few days. They circled ten fields in the wheat field to harvest, and today they are estimating the yield in the vine gazebo next to the grain drying field.

Frederick was sitting next to him, and the village head stood behind him. The three floors outside the pavilion were surrounded by village heads and farmers from the surrounding villages waiting for the results. Many of them were still wearing the clothes that were distributed to the victims.

Farmers with new agricultural technology don’t know what it is, but they only know that the ears of wheat in the fields of Lizi Village are more, bigger and fuller than the wheat grains in their own farmland.

The staff of the tax bureau was already sweating profusely. He weighed the wheat on the grain drying field three times, and he counted it eight times, but the number still made him unbelievable.

After confirming again and again that he did not make a mistake, the employee swallowed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and carefully reported to Frederick: "Master, the wheat production here... is estimated to be one hectare..."

He paused, and the people around him also held their breath.

New fertilizers were applied to the wheat this season, because the water pump driven by the magic reciprocating machine was sufficient for watering, and the wheat seeds were strengthened by magic. Everyone knew that the yield was high, but they didn't know how high it would be.

"1490kg!"

As the tax bureau staff's voice fell, there was an uproar around.

In the past, the yield of one hectare of wheat in Wessenling fluctuated around 700 kilograms, and the harvest of good fields along the Rhine was only about 1100 kilograms when the weather was good. However, this year, the yield of Lizi Village can actually increase with the combination of new fertilizers, water pumps, and strengthening. Doubling, whether it is a local or a new resident finds it incredible.

The villagers in Lizi Village were even more happy.

按以前平均1公顷700公斤小麦计算，1公顷田地交了3成租子后可以剩下490公斤。

According to this year's new tax policy, some harvests are tax-free, and the remaining harvests are 3% rented, and there are 1 kilograms of wheat left in one hectare of fields, which is 542.5% more than in previous years.

Now the output is as high as 1490 kg, and according to the new tax rate, there will be 1154.75 kg left, which is almost 65% higher than the previous output.

In addition to wheat, there are also oats and beans planted this spring in the fields, and they have also received three successive increases in production.

Wouldn't it be exciting if these could also double production.

Frederick was also quickly calculating in his mind that the farmer's income was more than double that of before, and he collected [-]% more rent than in previous years.

It seems that I am losing money, but the consumption level of farmers will also increase after the income of farmers increases, which will promote the development of industry and commerce in the territory.

Then came the contest between the villages. The village head of the nearby village asked the head of Lizi Village to buy high-yield seeds. Lizi Village asked them to exchange wheat at a ratio of 1:1.2 according to the master's intention.

With the current land system, the land in Wessen's territory is Frederick's except for the fiefdoms of the vassals. The farmers are all tenant farmers. From an agricultural point of view, the village head is his agricultural manager. If the performance appraisal is excellent, he has the opportunity to For those who are officials in the city, the most important thing in the performance appraisal is naturally the grain production.

Everyone wanted high-yield wheat, but the variety of wheat was limited, and the scene quickly became noisy, and they almost started fighting.

Frederick slipped away and found Mathias in the conservation forest on the mountain outside the village.

Mathias had expected this situation a long time ago, so he ran to the conservation forest to watch the excitement, and by the way, studied the herbal medicine under the forest.

Frederick asked Taro and other servants to lay carpets on the flat ground on the top of the mountain, sprinkle insect repellent potions, and prepare for lunch.

Here you can see the situation of Chestnut Village at the foot of the mountain, and you can also see the new village that is being opened up in the distance. The trees in the farmland have been cut down for money, and now the sheep are eating the shrubs and weeds in the field, like a white carpet.

Frederick invited Mathias to come over for something to eat. Today, besides the Wesson bag, there is also ice cream.

After Mathias washed his hands and sat down, Frederick handed him a Big Mac Wesson bag and said sincerely: "Thank you for everything you have done for Wessen collar."

Mathias took the Big Mac with a smile on his face and ate it happily.

While eating, he said, "Principal, our wheat production can be further increased."

"Oh?" Frederick asked in surprise, "What should I do?"

Mathias said: "I studied the wheat seeds in the territory, and found that the biggest problem with the low yield in the past was this."

"What?" Frederick was taken aback, something he never thought of.

Mathias continued: "Now the wheat in Weisenling should be a kind of mixed wheat, that is, the two kinds of wheat are mixed together, and the yield is higher than that of growing alone."

"But if this kind of wheat is planted alone and no longer mixed, it will degrade after a long time."

Frederick had black lines all over his head, he didn't expect this to be the case.

But it’s normal when you think about it. Agricultural knowledge these days is based on accumulation and rarely spread. It would be good for the landlord to figure out when the crops will be planted and harvested. , the result degenerates all the way down.

Mathias said: "I sent students to inquire about places with similar climates. There are high-yield wheat seeds in Mingxing City, which can be promoted in autumn this year. After strengthening, we can ensure water and fertilizer. It is estimated that the yield can reach one hectare. About [-] kilograms."

Frederick immediately said: "You can arrange this matter. If you want money or someone to give, the whole Wessen collar will cooperate with you."

Now Frederick is full of confidence in Matthias. If this output lasts for a few years, maybe the Church of Illuminati will first canonize him alive, or even an angel descending to earth or something.

What, you said that there is no mention of an angel in charge of farming in the Holy Book?Someone, explain it to him immediately!
