Lord of Plenty
Chapter 31 The Dragon Never Explains
Latifah blushed a little when she thought of the headache on her face when the master gave her a few simple instructions and saw that she couldn't understand.
Fortunately, she was not the only one who blushed and was shy. At this time, it showed how good it was to have someone to take the blame. It didn't matter if I was bad, as long as there was someone worse than me.
Every time the old wizard Melward heard the shocking remarks of the great wizard that seemed to subvert the three views of the entire wizard world, he would be so angry that he would blow his beard and stare. He wanted to refute, but he would be refuted by the great wizard and felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Latifah even had a very unrealistic guess in private. Even she herself thought she was crazy, but there was always a voice in her heart that kept telling her that this guess was very likely to be true.
Your Excellency the Great Wizard, is he really only at the third level?
It's not that Latifa, a junior mage, looked down on the third-level high-level mages, but she had met and consulted ordinary third-level earth-type masters, but no one could make Latifa feel this way.
It was as if a weak stream was peeping into the unfathomable ocean!
She felt this way, but didn't the old mage Melward feel the same way?
More importantly, the master was neither an earth-type nor an ice-type mage.
Everyone in the kingdom knew that the glorious warrior family had a life-type magic genius, a third-level at the age of fifteen, breaking the kingdom's third-level mage record.
Then if a fire-type or a wind-type mage appeared, could the master guide these people as he did to them?
The answer is yes.
It's not that the magic knowledge of this system is so profound that it is shocking. As for the life magic of this system, how proficient is the master? I'm afraid it's not something that a third-level master can describe.
There are also the strange actions of the great wizard, the nobles who love farming, and the royal blood in the mud.
In the past, Latifah listened to it as a joke, but now, no matter how Latifah thinks about it, she feels that there must be a deep meaning in it.
Especially when the great wizard would rather use such a precious magic scroll to directly dispel the rainstorm than delay the spring plowing, Latifah is more certain of this.
Because unless the wizard is planting gold, it is definitely a loss-making business no matter how you look at it. Is that magic scroll something that can be measured by money?
It is strange and unreasonable to do this for a hobby of farming.
Then what is worth this huge price?
Latifah asked herself, unless it is a path to a higher level of magic, no one would do this.
Farming u003d Fourth-level wizard.
Latifah was shocked when she came to this conclusion. If she said this guess, others would probably think she was crazy.
Even she herself could not understand how farming was related to a fourth-level mage?
It was incomprehensible, but Latifah did not think she had guessed wrong.
The butterflies flying on the ground must also be wondering why the dragon in the sky was flying so high.
The dragon never explained.
——
On the other side of the valley, the fields were flatter, and there were basically no rocks or debris.
"..."
Speechless question to the heavens.
Li Tianyun, who was tied to the back of the blue-armored bear like a mummy and exposed to the sun, said that he had never been so speechless in his life.
"Ah~"
The Mist Winged Flying Tiger, which had grown a whole circle, was standing proudly on the brain of the blue-armored bear, glaring at the "territory" it had circled.
There was an iron saddle on its back, and behind it was a giant plow made by blacksmith Antonei for it. As the blue-armored bear walked through the fields, the dark soil followed the giant plow and turned to both sides like waves.
The speed of a blue-armored bear plowing the land is comparable to that of ten swollen-headed oxen plowing the land together. In terms of endurance, the latter is far inferior to the former.
In Yongxu Continent, farmers, let alone having a swollen-headed ox at home, are lucky to have two stone shovels. Using a swollen-headed ox to plow the land is a luxury that only lords can afford. People pulling wooden plows is the norm. The noble lords call it a "living tool".
If ordinary farmers have spare money at home, they will choose to raise inferior Arturo dwarf horses. The characteristics of this kind of horse are that it is short, has big hooves, can endure hardships, and does not need to be fed with concentrated feed. It is used to pull plows during busy farming seasons and to pull carts and transport goods during slack farming seasons. The disadvantage is that it cannot run fast and cannot be used as a war horse.
Of course, the disadvantages of this kind of horse are only relative. For ordinary people, it is the best tool livestock. There is only one Arturo dwarf horse in the entire Jade Heart Farm, which is raised in Leiduo's home.
On the land that the blue-armored bear had plowed, Kun followed behind and cast magic. The slender plant vines were as flexible as octopus tentacles, accurately sowing the seeds of green wheat into the soil.
In order to harvest the fruits and unlock the rich mark on his hand, the plants must be planted by Kun "personally".
After Kun's constant exploration, he found that this strange rule of planting and harvesting by himself actually had loopholes. As long as he completed the "sowing" link himself, he could skip the plowing, fertilizing, weeding, catching insects, and watering. As long as there were seeds in the end, he could gradually unlock the rich mark on his hand.
Since the mark can be unlocked by sowing and waiting for the seeds to be produced, can't I sow weed seeds all over the world?
First of all, where can I find tons of weed seeds?
Food seeds can be bought in any city, but who would go out of their way to collect weed seeds?
Secondly, if you just casually sprinkle a handful of seeds on the ground, even if they are tenacious weed seeds, it is unknown how many seeds you can produce in the end. It is uncontrollable. Maybe in a year, if you are lucky, you can unlock a corner of the mark, but if you are unlucky, a year's time will be wasted.
The more you study the laws of nature, the more you respect nature.
Nature has its own inherent laws. If there are more weeds in a field, there will be more insects that eat these weeds. If there are more insects eating grass in a field, there will be more birds that feed on insects.
Everything in nature is balanced. If you break this balance at will, you won't see any problems in a short time, but once the time axis is extended, you will find that sooner or later a disaster will come. When the disaster is over, all things will grow and everything will return to balance.
This is nature.
In Kun's view, farming is the product of the confrontation and compromise between man and nature. As long as you find the right balance point, you will not be retaliated by the laws of nature.
Moreover, farming is definitely a profitable thing. In the first year, we plant food first. Only when we have enough food can we accommodate more people in the territory. In the second and third years, Kun doesn't need to worry about them. They will naturally find their own way out.
In a place like Fengrao Territory with vast uncultivated land, is there a simpler and more efficient way of development than cultivating land and farming? With a large piece of arable land, are you afraid that you can't unlock the mark of abundance in your hand?
So no matter what happens, Kun will never give up the reclamation and construction of Fengrao Territory.
Because the winter was late in the North Territory, the land has not thawed yet, and the spring plowing time is only a little more than a month. In the south, the spring plowing this year should have started long ago.
However, due to the influence of heavy rain for two consecutive weeks, Kun only has half a month left. The more than 6,000 acres of land in Fengrao Territory need to be sown, which is undoubtedly a huge project.
More than 6,000 acres of arable land, of which 5,000 acres are in Kun's name, and the remaining more than 1,000 acres belong to the original residents of the Emerald Heart.
In fact, even this thousand acres of arable land has moisture. The human kingdoms on Yongxu Continent all implement the two-field system, that is, a piece of land is divided into two halves, one half is planted this year, and the other half is planted next year. That is to say, only half of the more than one thousand acres of land belonging to farmers on the other side of the river valley can be planted.
There are three reasons for this phenomenon. First, there is no fertilizer on Yongxu Continent, let alone any scientific planting method. In order to maintain the maintenance level of the land, the land must be left fallow for one year.
The second is the labor tax deduction system implemented by the kingdom. Paying taxes is the glorious obligation of every civilian. The lord pays to the king, and the civilians pay to the lord. As for slaves, they are not eligible to pay taxes.
And since most farmers cannot afford to pay taxes, there is a labor tax deduction system, and farmers can deduct taxes for the lord's labor.
Otherwise, do you really think that every lord has a lot of slaves working for him? The lords and nobles have many ways to make the people devote everything to them without paying a copper coin. Of course, they can't do it too much. After all, the people are free people and can choose to move to other places to live.
As for the last reason, it is even simpler. It can be summed up in one word, "poor"!
The money earned last year should be reserved for this year to buy seeds and farming tools. Farmers who don't have short-legged horses to plow the land at home can only plow the land themselves. Human power can't cultivate too much land.
There is less land that can be cultivated, and the money earned at harvest is also less. Even if you cultivate the land for a lifetime, you can't achieve wealth, so becoming a warrior is one of the few ways for the lower-class civilians to achieve class transition.
For the 500 acres of idle land on the other side of the valley, Kun promised to provide seeds to farmers for free and provide some other help.
As a price, the work of sowing the land needs to be handed over to him, and Kun promised that some farmers' land will be given priority sowing and will never delay their spring plowing.
Although I don't understand what this new young lord is so willful about, there are still strange nobles in the world who are eager to farm?
But with Kun's prestige among the people of Fengyu Territory, which is second only to the goddess of the sky, these are minor problems. No one will stop the lord from farming, let alone planting stars.
In fact, many smart farmers in the Emerald Heart Farm have given up farming this year. Working in the lord's work team for one month can earn the money they worked hard for a year in previous years. Who is willing to work hard to farm?
There are those who give up farming, and naturally there are those who are unwilling to give up. Such families are mostly those with more elderly people, children, and women.
Although the work team earns a lot, you earn as much as you work in the work team, and most of the work in the work team is some physical work, such as logging, transportation, and construction. It is difficult for women to do such work.
But farming is different. Although it is hard work to till the land, women, the elderly, and children can all take care of the crops, water them, weed, and catch insects. It is a job that can guarantee a stable income regardless of drought or flood.
Although the income is lower, it is more secure. What if the lord no longer needs the work team one day? This is not impossible.
"Well, this land is relatively poor and can't grow green wheat. Let's grow dragon scale potatoes."
Kun called the servants in the castle to change the seed bags.
The vitality of green wheat and red wheat on Yongxu Continent is very strong. They can be planted in the cold and dry northern region and the warm and humid southern region. The yield is very stable. However, after fusing with the high-yield seeds of Blue Star, while obtaining the high-yield characteristics, they also inherited some of the "fragility" of the seeds there.
Unsuitable temperature, reduced yield! Too much rainfall, reduced yield! Too close, reduced yield! Bad mood, or reduced yield!
It was the first time that Kun knew that plants also have their own moods.
Learned something new again.
"Hmmmm~"
Following the strange sound, Kun realized that a brave down bird had sat on the face of Li Tianyun, who was lying on the back of the blue-armored bear and couldn't move. The nasal sound was his cry for help, and the pet that was supposed to protect the master actually fell asleep on the head of the blue-armored bear.
A vine scared away the brave down bird like a whip. Noticing Li Tianyun's resentful eyes, Kun apologized without any guilt.
"Sorry, I was distracted just now. Really, where did Mark go to get the dragon scale potato seed block? Why hasn't he come back for such a long time?"
"Don't stare at me. You can't move even if I stare at you. You can't blame me for this. I told you a long time ago that the potion is version 1.0. It's uncertain what effect it will have after taking it."
"Although you are paralyzed, think about it in a positive way. You have entered the level and directly become a beginner warrior. Your talent level after improvement is catching up with Nia. How many people are jealous of you."
"Haha, the weather is really good today. If you get more sun, you may stand up. This is all uncertain. Oh, Mark finally brought the dragon scale potato seed block. Keep working, keep working, and you just lie here."
If eyes can poke people, Kun is probably stabbed with holes now.
It was not the ten minutes or fifteen minutes mentioned at the beginning, but a full thirty-one and a half minutes. God knows how he survived bit by bit.
Yes, he entered the realm of the primary warrior and successfully integrated the bottle of divine blood magic potion, but the problem was that he was paralyzed. A vegetative warrior, even if he was promoted to the second level, he could only be slaughtered.
The worst result is to give up this body that he finally succeeded in and start over again. Not only will he suffer in vain this time, but all the efforts of the previous month will also go to waste.
What a pit.
Next time, I will kill him and he will not be a guinea pig for drug testing.
Kun walked to the head of the blue-armored bear again and slapped him hard.
"Work hard for me, there are still thousands of acres of land waiting for you to cultivate. Move quickly, don't dawdle, show your courage as the blue-armored bear king, work hard, and I will give you a snack at night. If you dare to be lazy, you will also get a snack. Do you understand?"
The blue-armored bear, who is not low in wisdom and knows that he is not even as good as a slave here, can only nod desperately with tears in his eyes.
Because it knows that the snack behind is for it.
Woohoo~
There is no bear power at all.
