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

Two serfs came in carrying a large pile of dark things and placed them on the ground.

These are things about the size of a palm and a half. The serfs only know that they are the fruit of a honey locust tree, but they don’t know what the lord wants them to pick them for.

Even Kallis asked curiously: Master, what is the purpose of picking this?

Lin En came over, and the serfs picked a lot of honey locusts, which were all according to his requirements. They were ripe and black, and a few of them were a little green.

They are used to make soap locust. Are there many saponaria trees there? Linn asked.

I counted carefully, there are thirteen honey locust trees in total. Karis replied.

There are quite a few. Go and crush these honey locusts.

With the serfs here, Linn naturally didn't have to do the work himself. He directed the serfs to put the acacia in a stone container and beat it with stones.

Karis was puzzled, Can this fruit be used to make saponin soap?

He had heard of the word soap, but not many people seemed to use it.

Yeah, okay.

Lin En knows quite a bit about soap. Excluding those industrial soaps, there are two types of soaps made from common materials. One is made from pig pancreas and plant ash, also called soap, and the other is soap locust. Soap up.

He is very familiar with these two production methods. He has made them with the elders in his family before. The production process is not difficult, and it can even be said to be very simple.

He had thought about using pig pancreas to make pancreas before, but the number of pigs raised here is still too small, and so far, he has not killed a pig. The pork he had eaten before was all dried. As for the purpose of Making a soap specifically for killing pigs, in Linn's opinion, is a bit more costly than gain.

The news that Farr discovered the honey locust tree really made Linn excited, because it meant that she could finally wash a little cleaner when taking a bath.

In addition, there are a lot of sapodilla trees, so saponaria soap can be made in batches.

The serfs had almost smashed the acacias. Linn asked Ellie to boil water and put all the acacias inside.

The water was boiling, and a strange smell wafted out from it. The honey locust inside had been boiled until it was soft and rotten.

Putting these honey locusts on the linen cloth, the serf grasped them hard, and squeezed out the juice into the container.

Linn added the plant ash into it, stirred it a few times, filtered it with linen cloth, and then placed it in the yard.

The servants and other serfs were confused and had no idea what the lord meant.

Karis, on the other hand, was thoughtful. He knew about the Master's discovery of the Mage Tower. He heard that those mysterious mages had a lot of weird knowledge, and this should be one of them.

As time passed, the juice in the container had stratified. Linn took out the alkaline water on the top and put it into a separate container. Then he poured olive oil into the new container, boiled the honey locust juice, and finally added it. Put alkaline water inside.

After everything was put in, Linn kept stirring with a wooden stick. You could see that the mixture was getting thicker and thicker. He didn't stop until the stick was taken out and the top was sticky.

Putting these mixtures into the mold that Farr had made before, Linn clapped his hands and said, It's done. We'll know if it can be used tomorrow.

The serfs had already left the castle, and the servants began to prepare meals after the master finished making this useless thing.

Lynn asked, How have things been these past few days?

Karis said: Master, those serfs are very enthusiastic about participating in the training. They arrive within the specified time every day, and after standing in military posture, they run around the town. At the beginning, many people could not keep up, but now they are much better. It’s just that the progress of reading and writing has been too slow, and some serfs still don’t know a single word.”

Even so, they are still taught to read and write. In addition, they are rewarded for learning to read and write. The person who learns it the fastest will get a piece of dried pork.

Karis's mouth opened slightly, but he still said what was in his heart, Master, in this way, the consumption rate of meat will increase. We have purchased a lot of livestock during this period, but it takes time to grow goats. , sheep, cows, chickens, etc., these are all livestock that can produce and must be kept. Pigs and cows can be killed, sold, or eaten for meat, but I am afraid that their growth rate cannot match the rate of being eaten.

It's okay. There should be rewards. Besides, the piece I'm talking about doesn't mean a whole piece. Only by giving rewards to these serfs can we stimulate their motivation. If they pay appropriately, they will get good rewards in the end. Lin Well, I don't care about the consumption.

Now a relatively good development cycle has been formed in the town, and there is no shortage of this kind of meat.

How's it going at the mine?

The serfs are constantly mining. After they changed their tools, the mining speed has increased a lot. However, not all serfs have tools. The blacksmith's work is too slow. A lot of iron ore has accumulated, but it is difficult to remove it. They can be used quickly. Karis replied.

During this time, he often went to the mine to check the situation. After all, the ore was too important and there must be no problems.

As a steward, Karis knew very well what would happen if a mining area appeared in a territory. It represented wealth but also meant danger.

Well, didn't any freedmen come from other towns?

No, it's not a special situation. These free people will not leave the place where they live easily. These days, we not only went to Sheep Town for trading, but also went on to Pea Town.

Pea Town, there are acres of peas planted there, right? Lin En complained, The nobles in this territory are quite interesting. The name of the town is easy to remember.

Sir, you are right. The main crop there is peas. The serfs take care of the peas in the fields. There are not many shops in the town. However, I found a special kind of white bread with peas on it. A layer of boiled peas, said to be delicious.”

Pea bread. Lynn muttered.

There are not many free people in Pea Town, and they basically focus on farming. I found the blacksmith there and asked about it. He was not willing to leave. In addition, I went to the serf market and they said that they were adults. The male serfs have been bought, but there will be another batch in a few days, and the serf market in Sheep Town also said the same.

Oh? Linn became interested. Although serfs are common, there is something wrong with such frequent sales. It seems that the nobles of this territory are involved in the serf trade.
