King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 27

On the north side of Cold Winter Fortress, the survey of the terrain has already begun. Farming is not just about finding a piece of land to reclaim. First of all, you have to check whether the soil is fertile and whether there are rivers around for easy irrigation.

The northern part of Winter Fortress has been farmed, so this step is not difficult. The difficult part is how to make the tauren farm.

Letting the tauren farm is not a word from Shire. These tauren can become skilled farmers, reclaim wasteland on the vast grasslands, and reclaim one piece after another of good land for the Noxus family.

Shire took it for granted before, thinking that the tauren could easily replace the farming cattle. After all, the tauren has an IQ. Although they are a bit stupid than humans, they can understand their words anyway. easy thing.

However, cattle alone are not enough, you also have to have farm tools for plowing the land, you can't let the tauren use their hands to plan.In Shire's previous life, his family used plows and mules to plow the land, but there is no such thing in this world.At least according to Shire's understanding of the world, most of the serfs were still in the primitive stage of slash-and-burn farming, while a small number of lords' areas started to assist farming with farm tools, and there were already signs of developing the three-field rotation system.

But at the stage of iron plow and ox farming, Shire has not seen any lord appearing or writing it in any biography.

Why is there no iron plow and ox plowing?Perhaps the lords adopted a tax package system, and each region only needed to pay enough taxes. This system made the lords too lazy to worry about the farming of the serfs; or it may be that there is an extraordinary power in this world. It is possible to create a production method unique to this world, but his area is too remote to be accessible.

But no matter what, iron plow and ox farming is a good method that Shire's previous life history has verified.

Although he didn't have a farming ox, he had a tauren that was more useful. Although he didn't have an iron plow for the time being, he could make a wooden plow first, but at worst it was not durable.Only by solving difficulties can Winter Fortress develop and progress.

However, wooden plows and iron plows are still different. The depth of cultivated land is different, the ridges formed are also different, and the porosity and light transmission of the land are also different.

However, the only iron ore in Winter Fortress is still in the north. It is not an easy task to mine it, smelt it, make it into agricultural tools, and apply it on a large scale, at least for the current Winter Fortress.

So Shire started the research and development of wooden plows in these days.

In a room in Winter Fortress, a dozen humans and a few tauren gathered around a strange thing made of wood, and Shire was among them.

"Lord, is this what you want?" one of the carpenters boldly asked.

Charles looked at the wooden plow built according to his description, and felt that it looked decent: "Just looking at the shape doesn't work, let the tauren try it, and whether we can achieve our goal is the key."

Charles called the tauren, tied them to the wooden plow with ropes, and let them start pulling the wooden plow.

wow~
The tip of the wooden plow began to break the ground, and the soil began to loosen and pile up on both sides. However, the stability of this wooden plow was not very good. Sometimes the plow was deep, sometimes shallow, and it wobbled very badly. Regular, it looks like a dog gnawing on it.

Bang~
There was a sudden crisp sound from the tip that was deep in the soil responsible for breaking the ground, and then it broke inside, and the tauren was also thrown staggeringly.

These carpenters looked at me, I looked at you, and finally set their eyes on Charles.

Charles looked at it and said, "Isn't this a problem? The stability of this wooden plow is not strong. Try to make it more stable, and the wood used to make the wooden plow should also be replaced. , try some resilient wood. If you succeed in solving these problems, I can reward you with five kinnars and the opportunity to learn the breathing method."

The problem is gradually solved through repeated proposals and repeated optimizations, and it is good for Shire to do a good job in guiding this aspect

Charles is not an inventive genius, but he has ideas, ideas that have been proven successful in previous lives, and he just needs to come up with them.In terms of implementation, there will naturally be countless skilled craftsmen to help him do it. The only thing he can do is to explain his ideas in as much detail as possible, explain the purpose of this thing, and then make a suitable reward system.

Although Cold Winter Fortress was a gathering place for unruly people, a dozen carpenters could still be found. These dozen carpenters got together and quickly put Charles' thoughts from his mind into reality.

The carpenters tried another wood, and in less than a day, a brand new wooden plow was born again.

However, this time there was no need for Shire's instigation. Under the temptation of Jinnar and the breathing method, they worked hard day and night.

There is enough wood for them to try, and there are tauren waiting at any time as experimental subjects. They only need to optimize those problems in each attempt, and try to come up with improvement methods as much as possible.

Ten days later, a brand new wooden plow that had almost completely changed its appearance appeared in front of Charles.

A leading carpenter said: "Master Baron, this is the best we can do. This kind of wooden plow is made of bay red wood from the east of Cold Winter Fortress. The texture is relatively tough and it is not easy to break when used. The two sides and the tip of the wooden plow have been processed, and the stability of the wooden plow is better. But if it can be made of iron, it will be more useful.”

Iron plows are definitely much better than wooden plows, but isn't Winter Fortress unconditional?We can only make do with wooden plows.

Nothing is better than practice. Charles called the tauren and asked him to run with this wooden plow, and everything became clear at a glance.

The tauren pulled the brand new wooden plow and ran on the flat land outside Cold Winter Fortress.

This time, there is obviously a great improvement compared to before. At least the cultivated ridges can barely be regarded as a straight line. Although there are depths and shallows, it is not as outrageous as before.

The tauren ran three times in a row before the wooden plow broke with a "bang".

However, Charles smiled gratifiedly. If the tauren slowly pulled the wooden plow to plow the land, it would probably last for a while. Although the quality is still very average, it is already very good as a transitional product, let alone still in such a short time.

Charles pointed to the leading carpenter and asked, "What's your name?"

"My lord, my name is Carlos."

Charles didn't name the leader among the dozen or so carpenters, but the dozen or so people elected him spontaneously, maybe because he was the most skilled, or maybe because he was good at drilling, but it didn't matter, since he Having shown his ability, Charles is also willing to give him a chance to exercise.

"Okay, from now on, other people will follow your orders. You are in charge of managing them, and I will come to you directly if I need anything. Of course, you serve the Noxus family, and the Noxus family will naturally not treat you badly. From now on, every time you A kinnar a month, take care of the food."

After Charles said the word "managing food", the carpenters became excited. What Winter Fortress lacks most is stability, and if you join the Noxus family, let's not talk about the future, at least there is no risk of starving to death , So these carpenters readily agreed to become the craftsmen of the Noxus family, and at the same time agreed that Carlos would be their leader.
