I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System
Chapter 4 Rafe’s concealment
His face had the pride of a nobleman, and also had a domineering air.
His words were borrowed from the cult's sayings. Only by burning sin with fire can the earth return to justice, and at the same time, it appropriately shows the temperament of the nobility.
After he finished speaking, he glanced furtively at the people around him. After seeing their expressions, he felt relieved. He was sure that these people had been fooled. It seemed that he still had some acting skills.
In his view, the problem with this farmland is the unrotted wheat straw under the soil. They provide a comfortable space for bugs to live. As time goes on, the number of bugs increases. No matter what is planted, the seeds have not yet germinated. If it is, it will be eaten clean by insects.
To solve the problem, you only need to burn the wheat straw, which will kill the insects. The plant ash can also increase soil fertility, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But he couldn't say it directly and clearly, after all, in the eyes of these people, this land was cursed.
Even the nobles did not dare to act recklessly in front of the Order, not to mention people like Karis who respected and feared the Order from the bottom of their hearts.
When Lin En moved out of the sect, no one refuted it. On the contrary, they all agreed.
The next thing was easy to deal with. With the Lord's order, some serfs went to find a large amount of firewood and put it in the farmland. Some of them took wooden shovels and heavy plows and started to open up the farmland and buried deep in the soil. Straws of wheat were turned out of the ground.
There were quite a lot of wooden shovels, almost a handful for each person's hand, but the damage could be clearly seen, and the surface of the shovel was already pitted.
There are only two heavy plows. The serfs in the front are pulling, and the serfs in the back are stepping on the earth-moving boards. It is not only slow but also extremely inefficient, especially when there is a lot of wheat stubble in the soil. The heavy plow would get stuck from time to time, and the serfs had to free the entangled wheat straw blocking the heavy plow before they could move forward.
Lin En watched them plowing the fields, feeling worried, but there was no good way to do it.
Here, horses are generally used to pull heavy plows, which are much faster. However, the few horses he has are specially used to pull carriages, not draft horses for plowing.
As for cattle, there must be some in the town, but no one uses them to plow the land.
Lin En could also see that this heavy plow was not easy to use and was not as good as the wooden plow he had used before. However, he had only used it before and could not make it.
However, in his memory, the farming in the Earl's Castle used heavy iron plows. Unfortunately, iron was too valuable here and was far from universal.
After watching for a while, Linn estimated that it would take a long time to complete the cultivation of such a large area of land.
Linn did not stay in the farmland all the time, and chose to return to the dilapidated castle.
Night falls, candlelight flickers.
Lin En felt comfortable all over after taking a hot bath. He put on clean clothes and sat at the desk.
There was a knock on the door.
Come in!
Karis walked in from the outside and closed the door. Linn raised his eyebrows. He knew that the other party must have something to say.
Master, are you hungry? Do you need to prepare some food?
No, why are you coming here so late? I still need to rest. Lin En showed a hint of dissatisfaction at the right time.
Karis immediately apologized, Master, there is something I need to tell you. I always feel that there is something wrong with Rafe.
Oh, why do you say that? Lin En was confused on the surface, but very calm in his heart.
I can't tell you specifically. I just feel like he is hiding something from us.
Linn wasn't surprised. After all, he was a butler. Even though he had only met Rafe twice, if he couldn't figure out this problem, it only meant that Karis, the butler, was very incompetent.
In fact, when he met Raf for the first time, he knew what kind of person he was. He was flattering but with disdain, just like a subordinate and a leader. Raf obviously looked down on him as a lord, but free people Unlike his status as a noble, he did not dare to express anything.
If it were any other noble, he might have been fooled by Rafe's words, but after all, Linn was someone who had experienced workplace culture. Although he was not an old man, he still knew a lot of things.
Especially what he did today can be summed up in one sentence, keeping him away from the farmland, but why did he do this?
Lin En was puzzled to explain that there was a curse on the farmland. He didn't know whether Rafe was really afraid or if there was some secret hidden in it. After all, he had only been here for a few days and he didn't know much about Ash Town. It still exists on the superficial surface.
In addition, he also noticed that when he was scolding Rafe, his hand subconsciously moved towards his waist. No one else noticed the situation at that time. Rafe reacted quickly and fell to the ground.
According to normal circumstances, only when there is a weapon on the waist and one's own safety is endangered, such a reaction will be made.
The mayor of a small town acted like this. This Rafe hid many secrets.
However, he could see it but couldn't say it. He had to pretend. After all, he was not very old. If he acted too mature, it would make people suspicious.
boom!
There was a sound of slamming on the table.
Linn stood up with an angry expression on his face, as if his noble honor had been insulted, The damn thing is just a humble slave. He dares to hide things from me. He must be hanged. !”
Karis quickly tried to dissuade him, Master, calm down, you can't do this.
Linn stared at him, Why, if he hid it from me, he should die!
Karis felt helpless. Although the young master's behavior was more mature than before, his temper had not changed much, and he didn't know when he would become like the outstanding children of adults.
Once again he worried about his future.
Master, we have just arrived here. We are not familiar with the place and are not clear about many things. If Raf is hanged for such a reason without any reason, it will have an impact on our management of the town. After all, he has been here for many years. He knows a lot of things, but while we still have some use for him, why not wait until he is no longer useful and then hang him?
After Karis finished speaking, he looked at the young master worriedly, fearing that he would disagree.
You think he is still useful? Linn asked, the angry expression on his face dissipated a lot.
That's right, Master, you are a noble. You cannot handle everything, so you need servants like this to help. Karis said hurriedly.
Linn hesitated for a moment, then sat down slowly, You're right, I didn't think things through well.
Karis shook his head quickly, Master, you are right, but sometimes things are not as simple as you think.
Linn looked at Karis, I was assigned here. I don't know when I can go back. I hope you can help me during this time.
He showed his emotions at the right time to give the illusion that he had grown up.
Karis was slightly stunned, never expecting that the young master would say such words, and quickly promised, Don't worry, Karis will do his best.
