I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System
Chapter 8 Planting
The raging flames of the farmland burned for two days, and the entire land was covered with ashes. The serfs rummaged through the soil, but no more crawling insects were seen.
The sins were burned, and the lord's glory shone on the earth.
This is the idea of the serfs. They firmly believe that under the leadership of the lord, they will eventually move towards a glorious future.
Among the dilapidated houses, Old Tom looked at the sleeping child lying on the ground, with a happy smile on his face.
The child was only seven or eight years old, with mud on his face and body, and was thin and weak. But in Old Tom's eyes, this was his greatest treasure.
He would never allow any accidents to happen to his children. The farmland had been cursed before, and he was always worried that his children would also be cursed. Fortunately, the Lord successfully eliminated the curse with the help of the power of flames.
Old Tom felt that the lord was more reliable than the mayor, who forcibly burned the serfs to death.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the lord has said that those lines were scratched by the serfs themselves and are not the so-called curse at all. Those serfs who have turned to ashes are really aggrieved.
Speaking of which, ever since the mayor came here, Ashes Town has been getting worse year by year. It was clear that there were good profits before, and he felt that the mayor's behavior was a bit weird. He once saw the mayor walking through the door at night some time ago. Farmland, I don’t know where it went.
Why isn't the mayor afraid of curses?
Old Tom was puzzled, and he did not dare to think too much about the vast difference between the status of serfs and free people.
The lord is here!
There was a commotion outside, followed by the sound of serfs running out.
The son opened his eyes and didn't know what happened. Old Tom grabbed his arm and said, The lord is here, let's get out quickly.
Lin En got off the carriage, looked at the continuous black land not far away, and nodded slightly. After burning the wheat straw, the insects inside were naturally burned to death.
Under the sunlight, the surface of the black soil is shiny. If crops are planted, it will definitely lead to a bumper harvest.
The serfs rushed out of the dilapidated house, knelt on the ground, and shouted for the lord.
Compared with the previous two days, their energy and energy were much better. Although they were still sallow and thin, their eyes had a brightness, they were no longer affected by the curse, and they had hope for their future life.
And all of this is given by the Lord.
Lin En was very satisfied with this. Although they were serfs, they also represented people. As long as people have faith, they will exert greater power.
Linn walked towards Old Tom and looked at the little boy beside him.
The little boy was not very old. He only had a few pieces of rags covering his body. His face and body were pitch black, but his eyes were very bright, with the curiosity of a child.
He looked up at Linn, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Old Tom noticed his son's disrespect and quickly pressed his head to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, I'm sorry, Lord, my son didn't mean to offend you.
He was really afraid that looking directly at the other person with the eyes of a serf without the noble's permission would be an insult to the noble and he would be hanged.
This is your son. It seems that the age difference between you is a bit big. Linn did not blame him, but asked in confusion.
Serfs were allowed to have children, and every time a child was born, it meant one more territory citizen for the lord. In the territory, the number of serfs was very important, which meant that more people could work.
Old Tom quickly explained that the birth of the child was an accident. When he was about four years old, his mother fell ill and died. He regarded the child as his motivation to live, hoping to watch him thrive. He called him Old Tom, and the child Called Little Tom.
Lin En understood. To put it bluntly, Old Tom didn't control himself and hit the target. He really wanted a child, so he simply let the woman give birth to him.
The land was cursed, how did you survive with your children? Linn was a little confused.
The serfs themselves had neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm, so if they brought such a fuel bottle with them, the difficulty of survival would definitely increase several times.
Old Tom said: The land was not cursed before. The crops we planted would have a good harvest every year. We didn't have to worry too much about food. Just five years ago, due to the curse, the crops stopped growing and the children were hungry. I could only Venture into the forest to find something to eat.”
After Old Tom's description, Linn had to admire him. He had indeed fulfilled his father's duties. Everyone in Ashes Town knew that there were monsters in the forest. If you entered it, you would most likely lose your life. For his son's sake, he Go in resolutely.
Mushrooms, are you talking about mushrooms? Linn's eyes moved slightly.
Old Tom said with some pride: Lord, there are many types of mushrooms. Some mushrooms will make your body weak when eaten, and some will cause death. I can distinguish more than a dozen kinds of mushrooms. It is because of this ability that I can Many people survived, but later the mayor said it was too dangerous and wouldn't let me enter the forest again.
More than half of the serfs here have survived after eating the mushrooms he found. Old Tom has a certain prestige among them.
You don't have to worry about food in the future! Linn raised his voice.
He asked his servants to take out the wheat seeds from the carriage, I will provide you with wheat seeds for planting. These are high-quality wheat seeds I brought from the castle. You plant the seeds first, and I will continue to give them to you later. Bring seeds.”
When leaving the castle, Linn carried a lot of seeds. He mixed the high-quality wheat seeds rewarded by the system into them, so that no one would be bored to look at them.
In order to make this matter foolproof, he has not asked Karis to follow him.
After obtaining permission, the serfs stepped forward to look at the wheat seeds in the bag and made sounds of surprise.
The wheat seeds they had seen before were small and flat, but they were not as plump as this one.
The serfs were all shocked. As expected of a lord, he was even willing to take out high-quality wheat for sowing.
With the curse gone and high-quality wheat seeds now available, the serfs were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They picked up their tools and started farming.
Linn left a servant behind and asked him to watch the serfs planting crops. He returned to Ashes Town all the way. If he wanted to truly understand the territory, he couldn't just stay in the house and wait for his subordinates to report. He had to go there with his own eyes. Take a look at the specific lives of the residents.
The roads were covered with feces, and the stench lingered. Even if there were not many people in Ashes Town, the amount of feces accumulated every day was not a small amount.
