Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 23

Early the next morning, after a short rest, a group of knights returned to Wellington City, where Viscount Modo was, with the silver-necked ape cub and the harvest this time.

After lunch, Sir Tranis led the warriors into the outer forest of the Moon Reflecting Mountain Range.

Ten days later, Sir Tranis, who had been fighting for more than a month in the northwest of Stan Village, returned to the camp of Stan Village with the knights.

Even the powerful knights with fighting spirit did not dare to rest assured and boldly sleep at night in the wild where there were many crises. They did not get enough sleep for more than a month, which made them look extremely tired.

However, after a month of tempering, these young fighters finally lost their childishness, their personalities became calmer, their eyes became sharper, and their aura became restrained.

At this time, the wheat in Stan Village has been harvested, threshed, weighed and registered for storage.

This year is destined to be a bumper harvest year. In the past, the villagers were very satisfied with the ability to produce more than 200 catties of wheat per mu, but at this time the data clearly presented to the villagers was 350 catties per mu, a full increase of 7 half of the output.

If it weren't for the piles of wheat grains in their granary that were clearly placed there, they couldn't believe that their barren land could produce so much grain.

We must know that the land with such a high yield per mu is only because they heard that the most fertile land of the Baron in Poper Town can produce three to four hundred catties of grain, and their own land has caught up with the land carefully managed by the Baron and the serfs?
But the most surprising thing is the output of the village head's farmland. The average yield of wheat per mu is 410 jin.

410 catties!How did the output that is more than twice as good come true?
At this moment, they suddenly realized that they could have such a high yield harvest this year, all thanks to such a young village head.

It was he who bought the finest wheat seeds at a great price from the Temple of Agriculture.

It was he himself who hired refugees to raise earthworms and transformed their farmland.

It was his insistence on making that organic fertilizer himself that caused his fields to produce much more than theirs.

At this time, looking at the potatoes and corn grown by the village head Geography, which were obviously much better than theirs, a faint regret emerged in his heart.

Why didn't you follow the village head and plant potatoes and corn according to the method of the village head?

Why didn't they honestly follow the request of the village head and make their own organic fertilizer?
But this is not the time to repent, because the steward Eric sent by the Viscount to harvest the licorice grass has arrived, and the harvest of the licorice grass is related to the tax ratio of Stan Village this year.

For villages with special industries under his rule, Viscount Mordo generally focuses on the harvest of special industries.

If the output of a special industry meets the standards set by oneself, then a certain percentage of taxes will be collected appropriately.

If the output of a special industry exceeds the standard set by him, Lord Viscount will generously reduce part of the tax.

If the special industry cannot meet the standards set by him, Lord Viscount will increase taxes to compensate for his losses. If the difference is too far, it is possible to replace the manager or even dismiss the villagers.

Steward Eric's reaction when he first came to Stan Village was stronger than that of Sir Lannis. After all, he himself was the steward in charge of farming, and he knew much more about agriculture than Sir Lannis.

Whether it is the potatoes and corn growing in the farmland, or the wheat stubble that has been harvested and left in the field, they all fully illustrate a problem. This year, Stan Village has had a bumper harvest, and it is estimated that the output can be comparable to or even slightly There are Baronets beyond most of them.

But how is this possible?
Basically, I come to Stan Village every year at this time to harvest licorice and collect taxes by the way.

Therefore, Steward Eric is very clear about the fertility of the land in Stan Village and the yield of crops. It is impossible for a piece of land to change much in a short period of time without the priest of the Temple of Agriculture or the high-level druid improving it.

And both are definitely not something a barren village of Stan can afford.

In fact, Steward Eric had already heard about what happened to Stan Village last winter before he came here, and he has already made preparations for this year's tax reduction and exemption under the command of the chief steward. It's a big deal.

Now, looking at the enthusiastic villagers preparing to harvest corn in the farmland, Eric wondered if he heard the wrong news or went to the wrong village when he came.

However, looking at the familiar old people among the people who came to greet him, it showed that he did not come to the wrong place.

With such a big change in Stan Village, Steward Eric suddenly had the urge to see Licorice as soon as possible. He had a strong feeling that maybe this year's Stan Village might give him a big surprise.

So after exchanging a few pleasantries with the people who came to greet me, and getting to know the village chief with a gentle smile and impressive blue eyes, Steward Eric immediately proposed to go to the valley to check the licorice grass.

Ross and the others naturally had no objection, and immediately organized their staff to go to the small valley.

"This~this~this~" Steward Eric stood in front of the valley and stared blankly at the tall and tall licorice and moonlight grass.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly stepped forward to a licorice plant and observed it carefully, and found that this plant was slightly inferior to the licorice plant cultivated in Lord Viscount's potion plantation, and it did not affect Willingness at all. Herbal medicine.

You know, the licorice grass of Lord Viscount can grow so well because the potion plantation paid a lot of money to hire a magician to specially arrange a magic circle to promote the growth of potion.

Steward Eric grabbed another handful of soil, and found that the soil here was also unusually soft and oily.

After calming down, Steward Eric stood up slowly and asked, "How many licorice plants and how many moonlight plants are there?"

"Go back to Eric to take charge. There are 7486 Licorice Grass and 7492 Moonlight Grass in the valley." Rose stepped forward and replied calmly.

Hearing this, Manager Eric was surprised again, and the output increased by nearly 5%? !

Steward Eric asked with deep curiosity: "How do you know that Moonshine Grass and Licorice Grass are mixed?" When he came this time, he brought the latest method of planting Licorice Grass that is legendary in the Viscount Mansion, which is hybrid planting. .

"I am a good friend with Pastor Holp in Pope Town. Not only did he know the secret of the hybrid planting of Moonshine Grass and Licorice Grass, but he also provided us with the seeds for this year's spring planting." Ross said with a smile.

"Oh!" Steward Eric finally found the reason for the bumper harvest in Stan Village, nodded and continued to ask: "How do you ensure that the land here is so fertile and soft?"

It is Eric's duty as an agricultural steward to understand the planting situation of the subordinate villages and guide them in planting.

"We made our own organic fertilizer, and also raised a creature called earthworm that can loosen the land. If Manager Eric doesn't mind, we can go to the place where the manure is composted and the earthworm is raised." Naturally, Ross didn't have any hidden thoughts. The more useful people in this world can be appreciated by the lord, the more rights they can get.

The curious manager Eric visited the manure field and the earthworm ponds, but he deeply doubted whether these disgusting, filthy and foul-smelling things could really increase the fertility and loosen the land?
Los saw Steward Eric's disbelief, and said softly, "Steward Eric, our village's wheat output this year is 350 catties per mu."

Steward Eric's eyes widened immediately. He knew very well how productive the land in Stan Village could be. Could it be that those things really had such a big effect?After thinking about it for a while, Steward Eric said solemnly: "Major Los, please write down the method of making organic fertilizer, the method of breeding earthworms, and how to use them. I think, if this method is really so effective, Lord Viscount It will definitely be rewarded.”

Ross was overjoyed, he personally accompanied Eric to do his best to explain what he was waiting for, and hurriedly agreed: "Thank you, Eric, I will show you the detailed method after the licorice grass is harvested."
