Chapter 101 Spring Warmth (Part 1)

It was a sunny day, and the weather was getting warmer day by day. The ground was completely covered in green, and the branches and leaves on the trees looked lush.

There are more and more adventurers in the Thorn Forest every day. The various tasks issued by the Adventurer's Guild attracted countless adventurers from faraway places to this remote town.

Inside the fence, the tenants were plowing, harrowing, fertilizing again, and next month, also in March, spring sowing began.

Here, regardless of whether it is the management of small farmers or the management of large estates in manors, the three-field system is implemented, and heavy plowing and animal farming are implemented.

The so-called three-field system means that the land is divided into three parts to deal with

A plant of winter wheat is usually planted in October and harvested in June.

A plant of barley, oats, etc., which is generally planted in March and harvested in August

There is also a fallow field for growing beans

Wheat and barley are people's food, and the cultivation of oats provides more fodder for horses and cattle, and makes it possible for horses and cattle to be widely used. As for the cultivation of beans, the fertility of the land is enhanced, and the production of the land is also increased.

With the development of the territory, a few more families are willing to move to become the people of the territory. Now the registered permanent residence has increased to 20 households.

But this is not enough to meet the needs. Romon is not going to be limited to simple agricultural production. The people who appear here are almost all people hired by Romon to help. These people are working hard under the sun.

"Yes, it's built like this, and the speed is not too slow, which is very good." Romon looked at it, smiled, and said.

Nick and Fudi stayed behind, watching, and Ai Weixi also stayed leisurely. On the side, seeing this situation, Nick scratched his head and asked: "Romon, are you still going to accept the new leader? Will the land not be allocated enough?"

"Yes, my lord, with ox farming, each household can manage at least 30 mu of land, no less will do." Fu Di also said: "Or the land will be reclaimed beyond the fence."

"Ha, the development of farmland must be restrained. We don't plan to simply develop farmland. A total of 1,200 mu of land has been developed within the fence, and about 700 mu of land will be distributed to the local people. Twenty households are actually about right, but The reason why I still accept Lingmin is because I can develop other industries." Luo Meng said with a smile.

Other industries? The two looked at each other, and Nick was still closer, so they asked, "Romon, tell us clearly and let us know!"

"it is good,

I calculated, in fact, the food produced by the lords, just the handed in share, is enough for the mansion and even the limited guards to eat, and it is not economical to grow more food, I plan to grow other, and these need A lot of hands to take care of. "Romon said excitedly, pointing to the forest outside the fence and said: "I plan to plant a thousand acres of olive fields outside the fence. "

"Olive field?" Miss Aiweixi was a little moved when she heard this.

"Yes, the olive tree is beautiful and evergreen all year round. It can also green the environment and purify the air. It has no obvious damage to the forest. It just becomes the outer barrier of the territory. Of course, the most important thing is that once it is planted into a forest, It can produce fruit for a hundred years, I checked, and our coastal climate is just a good place to plant this." Romon pointed and said, sweeping the weeds and small trees outside the fence: "Besides, it's not too safe there, Just clean it up, and once this forest is built, there must be at least ten households to take care of these olive fields, and there must be oil press workshops to deal with it, at least five more households."

"Olive oil!" Nick heard, excited.

Olive oil has always been the oil used by nobles, and pressing olives into oil requires only a simple process, which is called "golden liquid". If an olive field can be built, then this territory will indeed have no worries about food and clothing.

"Romon, I just heard that olive trees also have quality, the quality we plant..." Nick was still a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it!" Romon said with a big mouth. In his Shennongjiao, there are only common varieties such as peaches, watermelons, potatoes, apples, etc., but there are really no olive trees. However, last year, When he read about the olive tree (this world), he took it upon himself to transplant ten olive trees into it.

These ten olive trees have already blossomed and bear fruit, and are about to mature.

Maybe it's the space factor, or the characteristics of the olive trees in this world. In short, it is estimated that each olive can produce a kilogram of olives. Of course, Romon also knows that olives need to be cultivated for a year before they bear fruit, and the maturity period is generally about 1 month per year. The new olive tree bears little fruit at the beginning, and each tree only produces a few kilograms, and then it increases significantly after a year, and the more can reach kilograms. Every time the tree bears fruit, the production generally decreases in the next year, and the rest period is one to two years. Therefore, the production of olives varies from year to year.

However, the seeds of ten trees, about a kilogram, are enough to plant thousands of acres of land.

Especially in Shennongjiao, the optimization of the seeds has improved the quality of these olive trees. The most satisfying thing is that even if someone picks the fruits and seeds and replants them, the quality will degrade, and the leading position of the olive trees in the territory will always be maintained.

"Also, in our territory, I actually don't plan to use only wooden walls, which are not strong enough, and I don't plan to use only stone walls, I plan to combine the two." Romon chuckled: "I plan to use stone walls as the foundation." base, and planted iron thorns and sickle grass, so that's about the same."

"Olives are planted outside, and they will not be useful until seven years later, but manpower still needs to be recruited. I plan to plant grapes, coffee, and tea trees in my 500-acre lord's private land. Management, in addition, is specially prepared to open up a pasture field and plant high-quality pasture to feed animals."

"In the territory, we need to open a department store to separate it from the hotel."

"A blacksmith also needs a household, not only for weapons, but also for the repair and manufacture of agricultural tools. You can't go to the city to buy everything!" Romon thought: "The mill is indispensable!"

Nick nodded after hearing this, and calculated in this way, there must be at least sixty households in the territory to play around, which is close to the size of a standard knight's territory.

In the past, Nick was always envious of the big men in the town, who could have their own land, and always felt that it was far away to own a piece of land of their own. Unexpectedly, it would come true now.

Although it mainly belongs to Romon, he is an internal affairs officer, and there is also a small piece of land that is privately owned.

"After that, the land will not be distributed?" Nick asked after thinking about it.

"Basically, it doesn't matter, just give a piece of house land and the vegetable fields around the house. Didn't I leave open space when I designed it?" Luo Meng said proudly: "I have reserved the garden in the center."

When Nick thought about this, he suddenly realized, and glanced at the open space left on both sides of the road. He thought it was a waste, but now he realized that it was well prepared!

"Also, the sewers and reservoirs need to be built!" Romon shook his head and sighed when he said this: "There are twenty households now, and another thirty households can be recruited. With such a large number of projects, we can't just rely on temporary employment. Adventurer."

"Understood!" Nick nodded again and again, full of admiration in his heart.

"My lord, don't worry, now that your reputation has spread, it is not a problem to recruit 30 households among the adventurers." Fu Di stepped forward and said: "This way we have manpower, and even the village guards, get five There are guards, too."

"Enn, this idea is good, I'll leave it to you." Romon nodded repeatedly, but at this moment, Miss Aiweixi said: "Master Romon, I'm going back first, there is still one experiment that has not been done yet." use up!"

"Okay, you go!" Romon said, looking at her back, shaking his head helplessly, this Miss Aiweixi is good for everything, but unfortunately, she is too cold, except for Romon, the others It's not a problem——Romon always felt that it was the indifference of thousands of miles away.

Could this be the temperament of an authentic druid?

Romon couldn't help thinking in confusion.

At this moment, another voice came from outside. Romon didn't pay attention to it at first, but now, adventurers came frequently, making it very noisy, although most of them came and went in a hurry.

However, after a while, Nick ran over again, holding a gorgeous golden invitation card in his hand: "Romon, someone is holding an adventurer again, and brought an invitation card."

"Let me see." Romon took the invitation, opened it, and immediately fell into thought.

At this time, Farfell, who had just rushed over, asked curiously, "Romon, who gave you the invitation card?"

Farfell, who has reached the third pole, has new learning items, namely riding and long spears. This kind of special item can only be learned in the city, and it requires a lot of money. Romon helped him pay for it in advance. , and also bought two horses dedicated to knights. Although they are not top-grade, they are also of great value.

Farfell accepted it unceremoniously, but he gradually regarded Romon as the master in his heart.

"It's an invitation card for a merchant banquet held in the city of Arpus." Romon showed the invitation card to the two and asked Nick at the same time. "Where is the person who sent the post?"

"Let's go." Nick flipped through the invitation and replied, "Romon, are you going to this banquet?"

Nick finished watching, and said excitedly: "The banquet of the business association, of course, only decent people with certain identities can participate. Now I invite you to go, which means that your current fame and status have made those businessmen dare not belittle you." Look...how is it, are you going or not?"

"No, I'm very busy now!" Luo Meng said, although it is not a bad thing to know more friends, but now is indeed not the time.

The fruits in Shennongjiao, especially the olives, need to be picked. Although it is easy to squeeze the olives, it takes a lot of time to get such a large quantity, let alone get the seeds out one by one.

After reaching the fourth-level space, the area is 25 mu. Romon felt more and more strenuous. He couldn't help but hope that the dryad would wake up soon. Of course, it would be great if she could find a few dryads for herself after waking up. In this way, there are people who deal with the Shennongjiao space.

But now, at least for now, this is all delusion. Thinking of the hard work of harvesting the wheat field that day, Romon felt his scalp numb and his hands and feet go weak.
