Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

The first batch of "magic wheat" sown by the northern pioneers in late spring finally ushered in the day of harvest in the mid-autumn season.

Hundreds of farmers with formal work contracts on the farm followed the buttocks of huge agricultural alchemy beasts in the wheat fields, constantly spitting out yellow wheat grains from its belly in sacks prepared in advance.

The improved model of agricultural alchemy has been able to complete wheat harvesting and wheat ear threshing at the same time. There is no need to collect wheat ears manually and transfer them to the threshing farm to thresh them manually, saving a lot of manpower and time.

However, cleaning and screening drying is an essential process. After these wheat grains are bagged, they will be quickly transported to the drying yard next to the farm and then flipped and dried. At this time, the temporary recruitment of short-term workers will come in handy--they He will use the shovel and rake in his hand to lift the wheat grains and throw them away, just like stir-frying vegetables, allowing the straw and slag mixed in the wheat grains to leave with the wind, leaving only full golden wheat grains.

The remaining straw after being separated from the wheat grains by the alchemy beast actually has many uses. It can not only return the fields to gain weight, but also be used as livestock pads. Even in the sheds of refugees, there are many roofs with straw. Built by wheat straw.

But Harvey has no time to develop these subdivided crop industries at present, so he can only follow the most common treatment methods. Watching farmers gather straw and pile up the fields and burn them directly, which leads to the week of harvesting wheat fields. For a long time, the entire territory was shrouded in gray smoke and dust, and the air quality was very poor.

Harvey only took the time to inspect the farm once, but was fumigated and sun-dried, so he decided to let Reiner lead the municipal officials to deal with it himself.

The cereal for drying wheat is built next to the farmland. The temporarily recruited workers uniformly pile up the dried wheat grains to form golden hill buns, and then hand them over to the staff in the storage area for bags and weighing.

"Sir! This year's wheat is a bumper harvest!" Reiner led the director of the Ministry of Agriculture and ran into Harvey's study excitedly. "After preliminary weighing statistics, our per mu yield of farmland has increased by two compared to last year. More than twice as many times, the enchanted wheat seeds are fuller and larger than normal!”

"No," Harvey couldn't help laughing and said with satisfaction: "It seems that you asked me to clear some of Chen Mai's warehouses some time ago, and predicted the harvest of this fall in advance..."

Reiner's tone was a little excited, "We only recruited less than a thousand farmers, and cooperated with the large agricultural alchemy beasts to grow enough food to feed ten thousand people. This was placed by any noble lord in the southern border. It is impossible in the fiefdom.”

Harvey has a deep understanding of this problem. As a person who has lived through time for more than ten years, although he was a small landlord family who did not do production in the past, he still had a certain understanding of the development of human agriculture during this period.

Sixty pounds of wheat seeds are often only harvested by five grain yields, that is, less than three hundred pounds of wheat. Moreover, there is no intensive cultivation technology, and it is only planted in the most primitive rotary method. Except for the southern coastal areas where the land is extremely fertile, most farmers can only grow one and harvest five.

This means that even if the ordinary free farmers in this era own about 30 acres of land, they can only support their poor family of five at most. They also need to pay the remaining part of the grain to pay the lord's taxes. If they encounter temporary tax increases or When recruiting war, the whole family is very likely to go hungry in winter.

The urban population cannot expand and increase in this era. It is often because the grain output of surrounding villages and villages is low. People with a population of more than 30,000 like Jinhui City are considered big cities, while Harvey's pioneering territory hanging in the northern wasteland , being able to accommodate and feed 10,000 people is a miracle.

The constraints of productivity come from this. If the mechanized agricultural technology brought by the alchemy beast can be fully popularized, it will be more than just a pioneering farmer like the current one who feeds civilians in ten territories, and then it may not be possible to support a hundred and a thousand people. question.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop mechanized planting technology, and continuously improve the seeds of catalytic magic wheat seeds and other grain crops, feed more people with as little labor as possible, liberate the labor from the land, and transfer it to industry in its own territory Coming in production.

...

The next afternoon, Harvey, surrounded by a group of personal guards, climbed onto the temporary wooden platform set up in the Civic Square in front of the castle. A large number of people gathered around him early, and was formed by teams of territory defense troops in black uniforms. Ranged apart, a lively scene with crowds of people.

The alchemist made three buzzing sounds throughout the audience, which quickly calmed the people down. Harvey cleared his throat and stood next to the microphone to start speaking.

"Today is the first harvest festival day for the Pioneer Leadership, and it is also the first award ceremony for the territory. Those who have made significant contributions to our northern homeland this year deserve my commendation today. We should also enjoy the cheers of the people!”

After the concise speech, deafening cheers and applause sounded from the crowd.

Then Reiner came forward, picked up a list of awards and awards that had been drafted long ago, and began to recite them one by one.

"Pierce, the chief commander of the Territory Army, faced the remnants of demons who invaded the surrounding areas of the territory, and went south to Jackdaw Town to receive and transport refugees..."

"Egno, the director of the Territory Medical Hospital, improve wheat varieties, develop pharmaceuticals and vaccines, and treat plague..."

"Chris, director of the Alchemy Laboratory, develops pharmaceuticals and vaccines to treat the plague..."

"The Ministry of Construction is in charge of Haru, the Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of..."

"Vaon, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the North Army, and the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the Defense Army..."

Harvey chose these people as the reward target for the first award ceremony, mainly to set an example for the people to follow - among them are spellcasters, mixed elves, blood clans, ordinary wasteland people, and escape from the southern border. Min, half orc.

No one has a prominent background, nor has anyone transcendent bloodlines. They all get up from the bottom of the body step by step to the present.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

This means that the lord does not nepotism, but only focuses on merit and ability, not on blood.

...

Amid the cheers and whistles of the soldiers in the North Frontier Army, Vaughn once again took an exquisite medal made of black iron from the lord. Rubbing his hands, he watched excitedly as the lord personally put it on his left chest, and then he was happy. The one retreated.

After looking around, he found that the Minister of Construction, Haru, who was standing beside him, had two black iron medals on his chest, one with reliefs of the territory walls, and the other with a towering building and bridge. The silhouette should be a commendation for his achievements in building the Ice Field River Bridge and the high-rise buildings in the territory apartment some time ago.

Vaughn couldn't help but curl his lips and looked away with envy. He naturally had more medals than Haru. He never missed the two target competitions in the army every year, and he could take one away every time. The brass medal representing the sharpshooter, but the value is obviously not as good as the Black Iron Medal, and that is only sought after and popular in the army.

After Pierce, Egno and others accepted the lord's reward and retired, Vaughan's envious eyes could spew out a flame of jealousy - the medal they wore on their chests turned out to be silver!

Black iron, silver...gold! The medals of three different materials and patterns clearly represent the importance and achievements of their respective contributions to the territory!
