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

Nezer returned home. His wife was heating hot water. As the bubbles continued to emerge, she took it off and placed it on the ground.

Ever since the lord issued a decree asking them to drink hot water, they were a little uncomfortable at first, but then they gradually got used to it, and strangely, stomachaches rarely happened anymore.

What did the Lord ask you to do?

Nezer replied with a puzzled look on his face, They asked us to make something like a pocket out of linen cloth, and they said we could embroider patterns on it. I don't know what it would be used for.

You haven't always liked embroidery patterns before, but now the lord has said so. This is a great thing.

Not paying attention to his wife's words, Nezer couldn't figure out the reason and still followed the lord's order.

Karis found Farr and handed the drawing over, Can you understand this?

Falzai looked at the drawing carefully, pondered for a moment, and replied, This should be a waterwheel. I have seen it before, and my father also participated in its construction. However, this waterwheel is a bit different and a bit too complicated.

He is a carpenter, and most of the skills he learned were acquired from his father. However, his father died relatively early and did not teach him many things. He only left some drawings and books. This is the biggest thing his father left for him. Wealth, until now, he didn't know how to make many of the above things.

Among them, the waterwheel is one type. His father once told him that this kind of waterwheel was made to discharge sewage in the territories of nobles. The effect was particularly good. Later, it was also used by many people for irrigation, which could reduce the pain of serfs. Tired.

However, waterwheels did not become popular. It seemed that the nobles did not allow such a thing to happen. As for the reason, Farr did not know.

Compared with the waterwheel in the drawing book left by my father, the waterwheel in this drawing is completely different, and the complexity has increased by no means.

As long as you can understand it, can you make it? Karis asked.

Not sure. Far didn't dare to give a positive or negative answer, I need to try.

As long as there is a possibility of making it, just tell me what you need. Karis was slightly relieved. He was really afraid that Farr couldn't understand it. In that case, he would have to go to other towns to find someone who could understand. It will waste a lot of time.

A lot of wood and manpower. Far heard the steward's urgency and knew that this should be what the lord meant.

good!

Karis returned to the castle and told Linn Farr's answer.

Lin En was not surprised that he could understand the waterwheel drawings. There were waterwheels in this world, but they were very crudely made and were far from being popularized and optimized.

As for the reason why the nobles did not allow it, Far said, he also knew.

Serfs work on the land, and even if they die from exhaustion, it has nothing to do with the nobles. Serfs are serfs anyway, and their lives are not even as good as domestic animals.

Now a piece of equipment suddenly appears that can reduce the fatigue of serfs. This is unacceptable to the nobles. The serfs are lighter, so what do they need to do?

These short-sighted nobles naturally did not think that this kind of equipment could reduce labor force and speed up production. They only thought that serfs became relaxed, which damaged their own interests.

This is why waterwheels cannot be used.

Lin En sneered and shook his head, and the nobles indulged in the banquet all day long.

Of course, it's not like he hasn't thought about steam engines. It's not difficult to make this thing as long as you know the principle. The difficulty lies in the details. The airtight working container is a difficult problem to solve.

There are blacksmiths in the town, but they are completely unable to make them with their skills. They can only resort to the next best thing, first making full use of the waterwheel to promote the development of the handicraft industry and then promote the progress of the manufacturing industry.

Ashes Town is in a rather special location. When Lin En was looking for traces of monsters in the surrounding area, he jotted down the general situation. Walking north from the farmland, you will find the location of the arrow mushroom and the fennel forest.

Continuing forward, there is a river in the middle and upper reaches. The water flow is relatively slow, but as you go downstream, the river channel becomes wider and the water flow is rapid, and then a huge lake is formed.

There is also a river in the south of the town. Linn just passed by and checked briefly. The river was more like a tributary. Considering the issue of time, he did not continue going south.

To the northwest is the Blackstone Mountains mentioned in Rafe's diary. He has never been there and doesn't know the specific conditions.

As for the east, it leads out of the Sunset Forest, and the farther east you go, there is a continuous plain.

It was precisely because of the special location of Ash Town that there was no shortage of trees and water resources that Lin En forcibly promoted hot water. If it were placed in other towns, they would not have enough wood to boil water.

Water resources are so abundant that they must be utilized. Lin En took out the waterwheel drawings obtained from the previous mission. This waterwheel, which has been developed for several generations, is already the pinnacle of the current wooden waterwheel.

By the way, Farr also told me one thing. You asked him to make a bookshelf before. When he went to look for suitable wood, he found some special trees with weird fruits growing on them. He remembered that you asked the serfs to make a bookshelf. I brought some unknown plants back, so I picked some fruits and brought them over.”

After Karis finished speaking, he took out some large fruits.

The fruits are like pea pods, some are big and some are small, the big ones are even longer than a palm, some are green all over, and some are dry and black, exuding a very special smell.

By the way, there are many sharp thorns growing on the tree, and Farr was pricked a few times when picking the fruits. Karis added.

Linn looked at the familiar fruit, This is the honey locust. Did Farr find the honey locust tree?

He was very surprised, how could this thing appear here? Shouldn't it be a unique specialty of his hometown?

But considering that the serfs also discovered ginseng, it seems normal to have a saponaria tree.

Locust tree? Karis asked.

Yes, this kind of tree has a wide range of uses. Go and tell Farr and ask him to take the serfs there to protect it and not allow others to pick and cut it casually. Take it off, I will use it. Linn ordered.

Karis left the castle again.

Lin En looked at the soap locust with a smile on his face. It seemed that he really wanted him to develop a handicraft industry. The soap locust tree represented the raw materials for making soap.

In addition, it can also be used to wash clothes, and the spikes also have medicinal effects. It can be said that this thing is full of treasures, it just depends on how he uses it.
