The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

"I want to farm!"

Little Arthur's voice made Sir Eckert, who was teaching his son's sword technique, nearly smashed Kay to death.

"What are you talking about?" Sir Eckert felt that the sun was rising from the south today. Was she tricked by the shepherd to dig ditches and brains?

Sir Eckert shook his head immediately, as if to shake away disrespectful thoughts like dandruff.

Arthur was tricked by Charles into digging a ditch to work. He and Merlin knew it, but they didn't even bother with the idea that Arthur would suffer.

But today Arthur looked very serious, and his emerald eyes were full of firmness.

At this moment, Merlin, who was blown up by a corn cannon the night before, limped over and asked curiously: "Why do you think that?"

Arthur He straightened his chest and said loudly: "The weather that is conducive to combat is not as good as the terrain that is conducive to combat, and the terrain that is conducive to combat is not as good as the unity of the army."

"People are the most precious wealth. , So that people can settle down in their own territories without fleeing to other places. They cannot rely on the boundaries of the territory. The defense of the territory cannot rely on the obstacles of mountains and rivers, and the rule of the world cannot rely on the power of martial power."

"The king is kind, and there are more people who help and support him, and his army is united like a strong shield. The unkind monarch has fewer people who support and help him, and the army is like sand in the river."

"The king’s greatest kindness is to let everyone in the country have a full stomach and put on warm clothes."

"If people in the country don’t have enough to eat, then people will turn their backs. This king, even his relatives will betray him."

"The king who can feed people, the people under the sky will support him and unite around him."

"If such a king goes to attack a betrayed king, why not win?"

The air suddenly quieted down.

Merlin looked at Arthur dumbfounded, feeling a domineering spirit sweeping over him.

Sir Eckert's legs softened, but he stopped.

This is also Arthur's only six years old. The scene is not so solemn. If it is ten years later, he will kneel on the spot and swear allegiance.

Merlin was the first to react. He asked Arthur: "This shepherd taught you?"

"Yes." Arthur said without concealment "Charles said that there is no way to feed people just by talking with your mouth, you have to work hard!"

"So I want to farm and let everyone eat!"

Merlin and Sir Eckert looked at each other. This is a big problem.

Especially Sir Eckert, his face is very bad.

Because this land is his own, and all the food crops are his own. If Arthur is tossing about the harvest, will he go to eat the grass?

So he told Merlin with his eyes, I'm just an adoptive father, how about you take her to see her father for this kind of thing?

Merlin ignored him, but squatted down and asked Arthur: "So, how much ground do you want to plant?"

Sir Eckert suddenly realized that he thought of going to the side just now. , How much land can little Arthur plant alone, can't you just get a small piece out for her to play with?

"All!" Arthur's words made Sir Eckert's heart relaxed again.

Then Arthur drew the dagger around his waist and began to draw a schematic diagram on the ground.

Sir Eckert's eyes were staring straight at the dagger. It was the first time that he saw the cold light ice sword.

Arthur drew a "⊟" on the ground and said: "Now we are using a two-field rotation with one year of cultivation and one year of recuperation. This makes half of the land unable to grow anything."

Then she added a horizontal and vertical line to "⊟" to become "⊞", and said: "In my case, I will use four-bed rotation and divide the field into four parts. The fields will be planted in turns of wheat, turnips or Soybeans, barley, alfalfa, so you can harvest these crops every year."

"The advantage of this is that the roots of alfalfa and soybeans can make the land fertile, turnips can be eaten by humans, and can also be fed with alfalfa. Horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, soy beans can be squeezed for oil, and they can be eaten by humans."

Merlin and Sir Eckert were nodded. They didn't hear anything other than barley and wheat. Said.

Turnip did not reach Belgium until the 14th century, and it did not reach England until later. However, in China, several decades later, "Qi Min Yao Shu" has records.

Alfalfa spread to Europe when the Persians invaded the Greek peninsula, and was used to grow fallow land during the Roman Empire. It was only after the decline of the Roman Empire a hundred years ago that it also disappeared into the European continent. There was no record in the millennium, and it did not return to this land until the 16th century.

Not to mention soybeans. The first planting in England was in 1790.

Sir Eckert was a little moved. He thought that Charles was a powerful mage that could keep Merlin out of temper. This method might be feasible.

But it’s a bit worried to take out all the land, but it’s okay to try out a part of it.

It's just that, at this time, Arthur did a heaven shaking, earth shattering thing.

She took out a lot of shiny things from her bulging pockets and put them on the ground, and said, "This is a gift from Charles and Diana. When I ruled England, it was used to inlay On the crown. I will use it as a mortgage here. If the achievement is confiscated, it will be used as compensation."

On the ground are a bunch of bracelets, and they are red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple and white. A bracelet with nine black gemstones of each color strung together, shining brightly in the sun.

Sir Eckert fainted without catching a breath, and Merlin who was squatting squatted straight forward.

Charles didn't use glass or plastic to fool Arthur. These bracelets are all wholesale at Hogwarts World. The materials are artificial gems and the chemical composition is the same as real gems.

After waking up, Merlin decided to pay a formal visit to the two shepherds instead of going over at night like the previous few times.

When I thought that the infant Arthur of the Royal General of the Royal General would entrust her to raise her to become a qualified king, how could this work?

This time, Merlin was not greeted by potato mines, big spray mushrooms, corn cannons, etc., and saw Charles driving two horses to plow the field by the small river.

Charles didn't give him a good face. Every night, to prevent wild beasts and people from stealing the sheep, he placed a cordon outside the house.

It's just that this Merlin only shows up at night every time. It would be nice if he ran to the sheepfold, but he ran to the house every time. Was he able to enter the house at that time?

Merlin was a bit embarrassed himself. He wanted to tease the shepherd couple at first, but he didn't want to be blown up.

Later, it became a rivalry between mage.

Of course, this is just a unilateral rivalry between Merlin and Charles.

Merlin stood by the field and asked him: "Why do you want Arthur to be a farmer? She will become the King of England in the future."

Charles gave him a sideways look. Asked: "Is it contradictory?"

"Why not contradictory?" Merlin was a little angry, "She will become a qualified king under my guidance, instead of dealing with the land all day."

p>

Charles shook his head and said: "From the very first sentence you just said to me, you are destined to not teach a qualified king."

"Why?" Merlin was not convinced.

The heavy plow in front of Charles patted said: "Because of it, because you didn't find its effect."

"Don't rush to deny it, you first go find some experience Rich farmers come and have a look."

Mage has a good point, it is reason, so Merlin went to find a few young farmers to come over, and then the farmers knelt.

Charles ticked the corner of his mouth. If it is difficult to say elsewhere, he has studied the history of the British Industrial Revolution, and he has also visited many places on the spot. Before the Industrial Revolution, Britain also carried out an agricultural revolution.

In the agricultural revolution, four-plow crop rotation, heavy plowing, horse yoke, new crops, etc. played an important role.

For him, none of the first three is a problem. It is a bit more troublesome to use teleportation to collect new crops everywhere, but it is not worth mentioning in the face of iron deficiency in the British Isles.

As farming methods change, productivity increases, and production relations will also change.

In Charles’ view, seizing the opportunity that the warm period of the Middle Ages has just begun, under the leadership of Arthur, the British Isles can enter the "pastoral pastoral" feudalism from the clan and tribal society a hundred years in advance. society.

It was just the thought of iron deficiency in this place that Charles had a headache. Until hundreds of years later, many British people could not use iron farm tools.

Britain has iron ore, but it is in the central and eastern part, and the content is low. What's more important is the current Anglo-Saxon invasion, which is the main battlefield.

This Diana can't help it. She knows that there is iron ore in Lorraine, France, but she doesn't know if it has started mining now.

When Charles went to find soybeans and turnips, he even had plans to "appear" in the palaces of the Northern Wei and Southern Qi and then purchase iron on a large scale, but eventually gave up after the consumption.

After all, Charles and Diana discussed for a long time, should we develop sheep farming, and then exchange iron ore with European continent wool?

According to the information Charles has read before, the United Kingdom was a wool exporting country before the enclosure movement started hundreds of years later, and this business should be very profitable now.

Just when they were studying the formation of feudal society, little Arthur's father came quietly.
