Chapter 850: The Sun King's Journey to Eldar
Two hours ago.
The Sun King is actually very familiar with Eldar. He is a person who cannot sit still. Basically, every year he disguises himself as a merchant or noble in the Southern Wilderness and goes around the world to take a look. He knows that the Eldar people live far worse than those in the Southern Wilderness - many Eldar people have fled to the Southern Wilderness.
Today, when he was visiting the city incognito with George and others, the Sun King also saw all kinds of people.
The faces of these Eldar people were all pale, while the nobles in the castle were all dressed in luxurious clothes and had rosy faces.
However, the Sun King felt that compared with what he saw here last year, these civilians have changed a lot.
In the past, most of the people here were ragged and looked worse than the beggars in the Southern Wilderness city. Now, although the civilians here are not dressed well, their clothes are quite thick, and they all have shoes to wear.
The most obvious thing is that the eyes of these people are no longer numb, but exude a kind of hopeful brilliance.
And although these people all have colorful faces, they seem to have eaten enough this year. Grain has only started to be harvested in the past two months, and the people can't eat enough with the little things in their homes. So it should be the nobles who distribute food.
In addition, I remember George said before that the 'Dawn Farmers' Association' seemed to have allocated a lot of food to the refugees.
According to George, the people here can eat enough, on the one hand, it is the trade route and trade opened by Avali, which allows food to flow in. On the other hand, it is also thanks to the 'mercenaries'.
Hearing this, Smoker couldn't help but look at a group of people on the side of the street-mercenaries again. I don't remember how many waves of mercenaries I have seen today.
The Sun King has seen many mercenaries before, and he has a lot of influence on these damn mercenaries-profit-seeking hooligans, bandits and robbers with no moral bottom line.
Mercenaries, they are either old ** or crows and vultures. All kinds of behaviors in daily life can be said to be bad.
Therefore, the people hate them and fear them. But the mercenaries that the Sun King saw this time seemed to be different from those he had seen before.
If you want to say they were different, you can't tell where they were different. These "mercenaries" all looked very energetic. They were very different from those mercenaries who were drunk and dreaming.
And the people seemed to like these mercenaries very much.
The mercenaries in front of him were reading the things on a bulletin board for the people around them.
What did George call that? Journal?
Seeing George and the nobles chatting over there, the Sun King walked leisurely with a few people around him to the crowd over there on the bulletin board and listened curiously.
It sounded like the journals were all kinds of interesting readings, and many of them were about agriculture.
For example, why some land is not suitable for planting potatoes, soybeans, or wheat blindly. How to intercrop and rotate crops to increase yields.
For example, which crops should be taken care of, how fertilizers should be handled, how crops should be dewormed, how to prevent locusts, and other small knowledge.
After listening, the Sun King understood a little. But his face became more and more strange, looking at those strange "mercenaries" - aren't they mercenaries? Why do they care about such trivial matters?
Moreover, these farmers are willing to listen to these things?
These stubborn farmers never like to listen to other people's advice. In the Sun King Realm, Sorrento once hired many apprentices from the Moon Kingdom, wanting to teach the people how to better carry out agricultural production. The result was ineffective - especially those refugees from Eldar, who were particularly stubborn. Not only did they still do their own thing, but they also believed that those knowledge were all related to demons.
In the end, the chiefs had to whip them and punish them with decrees, so that everyone would abandon their previous farming habits and start farming according to the more advanced methods.
However, the farmers were still lazy. As long as they were not careful, they would mess around according to their own wishes.
But these Eldar farmers in front of them were very different. They seemed to be very interested in those agricultural knowledge!
After listening to the discussion of the crowd, the Sun King was somewhat surprised - they actually all have their own land! Ha~ They are small landlords and free rich people!
But after listening again, he found that these people did have their own land, but they didn't have the final say on what to plant. Or rather, they followed the plan of the "Dawn Farmers Association".
Some people even only planted beans and didn't plant grain!
If these lands belonged to the lord, then everyone might follow the lord's wishes. But these lands are their own, and they actually strictly follow the plan of the "Dawn Farmers Association"?
Seeing these people's happy looks, the Sun King guessed that these farmers and small landlords should have been fooled by George's group of men.
And the things fooled should have been realized - and fulfilled.
After the big harvest, everyone had surplus food, so they were naturally happy.
And their own land must have been carefully cultivated - after tasting the sweetness, they all started to learn here.
The Sun King couldn't help but become more curious. How much grain was harvested to make these people so radiant? And it seemed that just last year, these people were still hungry.
He had heard George say before that the average yield of Elda was 6-8 bushels. For example, the places where various works started earlier had higher yields. The places where various works started later had lower yields - but the so-called 6 bushels were very low, which made the Sun King think that George was bragging.
The average yield of 6 bushels, that's more than 200 kilograms of grain per acre! This broken place is full of fog, how can it have such a high yield?
But everything in front of him verified this fact.
"How many fields do you have for a household here?" The Sun King spoke fluent Elda and asked a person next to him.
The man looked like a small country gentleman, dressed well, but he seemed to go to the fields himself. He felt a hand patting him from behind, and turned his head with a somewhat impatient look, but he saw a huge belly. He raised his head and looked up, and found a huge giant!
The little squire was startled at first, and then he became cheerful, as if he had seen an old acquaintance. Then he chatted with the Sun King for a long time in a very friendly manner.
This attitude made the Sun King very confused. Because most people would be scared to the point of weakness when they saw him, and would think of him as a barbarian who ate people without leaving any bones in the Southern Wilderness. But after chatting for a few sentences, he found that this little squire seemed to think of him as a "templar" from outside.
It seems that many people in the Northern Southern Wilderness have joined the camp of the shelter this year.
