I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System

The three maids, Ellie, Xisha and Jimmy, were holding knives to cut potatoes. This was the first time they had seen this thing, and they were all curious about what it was.

Putting the cut potato pieces in the jar, Ellie's hands were sticky, and when she spread her fingers, she could still see traces of crystal liquid connections.

What the hell is this? It can also be drawn. Ellie said.

When Qiansha saw her movements, she thought of something, her face turned red, and she lowered her head. Fortunately, the other people didn't notice her.

Linn replied with a smile, This is a good thing. If we keep planting it, we won't need to worry about food shortage in the future.

The maids still don't understand, but they know one thing. Everything the lord does has his reason.

The morning passed quickly, and Karis and the manservant came back carrying plant ashes. They were panting from exhaustion, and their faces, arms, and clothes were covered with dust.

Master, we got the plant ash back, what are you doing?

Karis put it down and beat his shoulders. Although it was the townspeople who went to each house to ask for plant ash, it was not heavy individually, but it was heavy when put together. He was already old and his body was not as good as Go up young people.

He had heard from the young master that he would soon break through and become a knight. He was so happy that he forgot to ask what the use of collecting plant ash was. He kept thinking about it and would ask if he didn't come back.

Linn and the others have cut a large bag of potatoes and put them in multiple jars.

Hearing Karis' question, Lynn pointed, Of course it's for potatoes.

Potatoes? Karis was confused and came over to take a look. They were in pieces and exuded a special smell.

What is this potato?

Linn didn't mean to explain anymore, there were no potatoes here.

The one Grant left behind said he could help me solve part of the food shortage problem. Linn replied casually.

It has to be said that Grant's arrival really provided Lin with an excuse.

As expected, Karis had no doubts after hearing about the things His Highness left behind.

Pour the plant ash in, and mix the potato pieces and the plant ash evenly. Be careful, be gentle. Lin En arranged for the valet to work.

The manservant put the plant ash into the jar and kept grabbing it with his hands. The potato pieces were soon covered with plant ash.

Lin En stood at the door and watched them working, thinking about the past. Their family once planted five or six acres of potatoes. They would do this before planting, pour the cut potato pieces into the plant ash. Firstly, it can reduce rot, and secondly, it can also effectively prevent pests and diseases.

At that time, their family of three had to work for several days to complete the work accurately, which made Lin so tired that he was busy making potatoes even in his dreams at night.

The potatoes they planted that year were not that big in size and not that good-looking in appearance, because they didn't use many pesticides. After selling them, they just recovered their money and never planted them on a large scale again. They only planted a small amount at most. Keep it for yourself.

Those good-looking and big potatoes on the market are inseparable from pesticide irrigation.

Master, master! Karis shouted.

Linn came back to his senses, What's wrong?

It's done, take a look.

Lin En took a look and saw that they were supervising the work, and the male servants were very serious about their work.

Pack up these potato pieces and let's go find Old Tom. Lynn said.

The carriage drove along the clean streets and soon reached the ground.

The situation here has changed a lot compared to before. Lin En ordered the serfs to cut down trees, reclaim land, build houses, and plan layout.

Thanks to Linn's high status among the serfs, and the fact that these houses were built for them to live in, the serfs were very motivated. In just a few days, they had cut down a large number of trees and were in the process of clearing them. Cut it apart.

When the serfs saw the lord coming here, they ran over to salute and shouted to the lord.

Lin En nodded slightly, I have two things to do here this time. The first thing is that I brought a lot of potatoes, which I need you to plant in the ground. This is a high-yielding crop with a shorter growth time, shorter than wheat. A lot, after harvesting, we can solve the problem of food shortage.

The second thing is, I hope you will tell us what you have encountered recently, the difficulties you have encountered, and your thoughts on deforestation and land reclamation.

Serfs, look at me and I look at you.

For them, this was the first time they had heard of potatoes, but the lords had already said that they could be eaten, so they would naturally take it seriously. However, the second sentence the lord said made them confused. How to answer.

Lin En looked at their expressions and understood their concerns, and said, You don't have to worry about me being angry. What I need is to raise and solve problems. Only when there are no problems can the territory develop.

The serfs still didn't speak, which made Linn sigh. After long-term oppression and influence of the aristocratic system, they have become numb and no longer regard themselves as human beings. They only have one thought in their hearts, that is, whatever the lord says is whatever they say. , they don’t need to express different opinions because once they do, they will be hanged.

Lin En understands them very well. There are good and bad aspects to this situation. The good thing is that you don't have to worry about them resisting. The bad thing is that they are too obedient and dare not speak out about the problem. This has led to a lot of problems at the grassroots level in many territories, but the nobles don't know about it at all. It will be too late to solve the problem until it affects them.

Sir! Old Tom looked up, I have something to say.

Linn nodded, Just tell me.

To cut down trees requires tools, but we don't have many axes here, and to cultivate the land we also need agricultural tools. There are many damaged wooden shovels, and two heavy plows are too few, so the pace of reclamation is extremely slow.

Old Tom hesitated for a moment and said: The number of serfs is also a bit small. There are simply not enough of us. Even if we take turns pulling the heavy plow, we still need to rest.

Karis frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Linn's look.

Very good! Linn praised. Old Tom took the initiative to tell the problem and should be rewarded. I will provide you with black bread and mushroom soup today.

As soon as these words came out, the serfs were surprised. They didn't expect that instead of being angry, the lord actually rewarded Old Tom. This was simply impossible.

Thank you Lord, you are as bright as light. Old Tom knelt down quickly.

Lin En glanced at the serfs, After this period of getting along with each other, you should also know that I am not the kind of lord who hangs people at will. As long as you obey and do things, no matter what I ask, you will say, then not only will you not be punished, You’ll also get rewards.”
