I Love Farming

Chapter 49 Spreading Knowledge

Priest William would not know how many people in LJJ's channel opened the packaging boxes of various foods together when he was eating beef, and ate together with his rhythm.

This program combines food, agricultural science, pet training and other elements in one. The audience is willing to deceive themselves, others, and each other. It seems to be a dirty current in LJJ's various programs.The audience here is already notorious.

Cui Qichao didn't know that he also had a large audience with a unique style of painting. The dessert he asked the cook to prepare for William was wine apples.

The half-cut apples were boiled with red wine and a little spices until the two of them tasted other food and wine. The original light yellow pulp has been soaked into an attractive purple red. The aroma of the two fruits blends, bringing Sweet taste.

William easily separated the soft-boiled pulp and put it in his mouth, letting out a pleasant exclamation.This way of eating is really fresh, unique and very status-defining. Except for rich nobles, who can eat like this.

With William's guarantee, Cui Qichao had a general understanding of the quality.This batch of red wine was brought to the trading point of the diocese by the trade team. The other nobles and lords did not grab a drop, and all of them were bought by the church.This exceptionally outstanding and unique holy blood is not enough for high-level priests to taste.

It only takes one tasting to impress with Northumberland wines, and with the church being snapped up, the brand seems to stand up overnight.

The reputation of this remote barony has spread to the north. As more people pay attention, everyone has noticed that Northumberland will sell brown sugar and cotton cloth every time it trades.

Fortunately, the brown sugar said that the church started trading with the big lords and gave them beet seeds.

The cotton cloth made in Northumberland is as good as the ones from across the ocean, but in terms of patterns, it is more biased towards local aesthetics. It is wrong to say that the quality is comparable.

A small territory, it is reasonable to say that there is a shortage of manpower, and there is no extra energy to develop these.

As a result, the rumors limited to Northumberland also spread. It turned out that the change began with the new lord of Northumberland, the archbishop's nephew, the Baron Cat Slayer, who had traveled to the East to study.

Some of the archbishop's actions were quickly linked, and it seems that the time is almost after Cui Qichao inherited the title.

The great nobles can easily say that Northumberland is relatively remote and the place is small. The output is nothing to them. Even if the things are high-quality, they are not unique.For small and medium nobles, this is a piece of fat, even with the protection of the church, they are eager to move.

These are inevitable, even long overdue, but artificially delayed.

Not to mention that Cui Qichao was not worried, even the Northumberland stewards were not worried.

What a joke, Northumberland farm tools have increased a lot, including iron farm tools, part of the pig raising method has been borrowed from cattle and horses, the survival rate has increased, and manpower has been liberated for national military training. Team.It can be said that there are not many soldiers in service, but all of them are reserves.

……

The first large-scale invasion occurred on the wedding day of the serf Dylan's eldest son. The lord was kind enough to exempt all taxes and fees that need to be paid, and even gave the couple a quilt.

Dylan's eldest son married the daughter of a yeoman.In the past, this was unthinkable. Everyone was a farmer, but they also belonged to different classes.

But who is lucky for Dylan's family, the eldest son joined the sugar factory as a worker, and served two months a year, he can get a lot of benefits, in addition to the master's salary, those beet residues are enough for him to exchange for many necessities of life, the young man soon Gather everything you need for your wedding.In the past, being a bachelor until the age of 40 may not be able to get married.

In addition, the beets in their fields are also yielding well, and Dylan takes great care of them.

Dylan's family used to live in thatched huts, but now they have all been replaced with wooden huts, and the eldest son's new house is also a wooden hut.

After marriage, they will be a separate household, and they will register with the master and plant a piece of land by themselves.But the eldest son didn't feel scared at all, but was full of enthusiasm for the future.After all, he works in a sugar factory and has more contact with the steward and the master than others.

Under such circumstances, although the Dylans were serfs, their situation was better than that of some yeoman, which refers to the yeoman in Northumberland.Compared with serfs in other territories... don't compare, slaves in Northumberland all have houses to live in.

In the final analysis, class is determined by wealth, so the marriage between the Dylan family and the yeoman went smoothly.

On the day of the wedding, everyone gathered in the new house of Dylan's eldest son, watching the newlyweds display the quilts given by the master and cover them, making the young couple look very decent.

Because it is a new house, it is built on the edge, almost reaching the pasture.

——When there was no square in the past, everyone lived scattered, and the distance was only relative to their own land.After the lord built the square, it vaguely became the center of the manor, because everyone likes to gather here, and they like to use it as a reference when talking about distance.Speaking of living far away, isn't it just that it takes a long time to go to the square to play.

Everyone was full of food and drink, and when they were teasing the newlyweds, they heard movement outside. Dylan went out and saw that there were seventy or eighty soldiers coming on horseback.

Dylan immediately shouted: "There are intruders, there are intruders again!"

If those people heard it, they would find that there was no panic in Dylan's voice, but joy.

The thieves who roamed around Northumberland were almost subdued by Raymond. The last Northumberland invasion dates back to Gawain.

But who doesn't know, if you win the battle, the lord will reward you greatly.

The self-confidence of the Northumberland farmers swelled unprecedentedly after the training, and many of them secretly said that if there were more wars in Northumberland, many of them might have been knighted for their meritorious service.

Dylan burst into ecstasy, "Hurry up and get the weapons, don't let others get ahead of you!"

There are dozens of people attending the wedding here, all of whom are relatives and friends of the two families, with similar ideas. Dylan’s eldest son was also delighted. Walk!"

Halfway through the run, he still remembered turning his head to comfort his wife, "You stay at home and hide, I'm going to catch the thief!"

"Behave better!" The newlyweds also exhorted loudly.

The guests at the banquet lived close to each other and quickly went back to copy the guys, and distributed the farm tools they had at home to their friends.

When the intruder heard the commotion at first, he thought it was the farmers in the manor running for their lives. Who knows, after a while, the cold arrows flew straight, as if there had been an ambush, and a group of people charged up.

It was dark, and at first they thought it was an ambush knight, and they cursed how the Northumberland knights could be so responsible.Run to the side, unexpectedly a group of people came out of nowhere, and they were just as brave and fierce.

Northumberland has a labor force of thousands of people, and everyone has rattan armor farm tools, and the equipment is soldiers. They are suffering from not seeing a single thief or intruder, and they really want to fight like other territories.

This time it can be regarded as finding an opportunity, from free people to serfs to slaves, from far and near, when they heard the movement, they picked up things and rushed out.

Usually military training teams are also formed, and the teams are basically formed by living together, so at this time it is natural to divide the camps, while beating the intruders and scolding: "Shouldn't you take credit for it? Today Dylan's son got married. This is ours. Discovered it first!"

"Fuck, they escaped from our group, I broke their leader's horse's leg first!"

"Blind your dog's eyes, come on, ask this bastard if I beat him?"

The captured soldier was picked up by the peasants, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was forced to ask who hit him, "I don't know, and I didn't see who hit me!"

"Hey, don't open your eyes and talk nonsense. Just now I beat you down with a rake, then grabbed your collar, and punched you on the nose." The farmer said while practicing, punching Hit him on the nose.

The nose is so fragile, the person who was punched before was helpless under severe pain, but now he was punched again, the bridge of the nose was crooked, and he screamed: "It's you, it's you, it's you who hit me! Please, don't hit me again!"

"Oh, I think these people are also regular, you see there are cloth armor, this, this one still has armor on them, the quality is average, but..."

"It's a regular ghost, hahaha, you didn't look at them, they were very messy, and you didn't train well at ordinary times."

A group of so-called regular soldiers were ridiculed by the farmers in Northumberland. The police officers are supposed to be responsible for security, but they are relatively small in number. The small gang catching thieves quarreled for credit.

Thousands of people arrested gangs with less than a hundred people, and after the gang fights, they would be robbed by peasants like starving ghosts, making them ashamed and ashamed, and filled with fear of Northumberland in their hearts. What the hell is this place?

I can only blame them for coming at the wrong time. These farmers were not so crazy earlier, and they had to hesitate when they saw the intruders approaching.

Because Dylan's family discovered it early, their relatives and friends arrested more than a dozen people. Dylan's eldest son was even braver and subdued the two intruders alone.

At the time of the final reward, Dylan's eldest son, who had just married, had two lambs added to his family, which made him so happy. He was just married and didn't have any livestock at home, so he quickly built a livestock shed.

……

Since that day, Northumberland has harvested large and small gangs one after another. The total number of people adds up to nearly a thousand, all of whom want to grab some valuables or directly occupy this place.

Who knew that the Northumberland Cavaliers were wiped out by the peasants before they even saw their faces.

The Cavaliers are a little angry, because they live in the yard and are not on the periphery, so they have no chance to be rewarded for their meritorious service?

After so many people fell into the sand, the outside world gradually settled down and did not dare to act rashly.Who would have thought that a barony in a remote place could have such a high force value.

As for those captives, the housekeeper arranged for them to have joys and sorrows.There are too many people here. Sending them to plow the land saves the farmers a lot of work. Isn't this a waste?

The housekeeper said, either we should reclaim wasteland and get more land for these people to breed, or we should ask for a ransom and send them away.

"The wasteland should not be reclaimed. We need to maintain a certain amount of woodland in our territory. In the future, we will build houses and make tools. Who doesn't need wood? What if we cut down all the wood?" Cultivated land, after Northumberland has restored the heavily saline-alkali land, the cultivated land is quite enough.

Cui Qichao arranged for the captives to cultivate their own land, and Northumberland's own people were responsible for managing their own land, planting cash crops such as sugar beet and cotton in the newly developed saline-alkali land, and building some infrastructure.

People who have time will choose to repair their homes. Now almost no one lives in thatched cottages in Northumberland, and all the roads are smooth.

Cui Qichao told the housekeeper that these captives, he stayed to farm for a while, and after finishing the work, he would exchange them back.

The housekeeper immediately turned black, "Master, you let them stay and work, and you give them food, and you also teach them how to farm the land. If you learn how to put them back, even if you pay the ransom, it will be cheaper for them!"

Cui Qichao disagreed, "We got the labor force and the ransom, and we didn't suffer."

The housekeeper slapped his hands and said, "Master, once they go back and implement the land farming method, they will have a good harvest!!"

Cui Qichao smiled, "Housekeeper, look at our white soil that has returned to normal. We grow sugar beets, wool trees, and vines. If the fields in other territories have a good harvest and more food, they will want to exchange brown sugar, wine, and cotton coats." Quilts, even farm tools, how many craftsmen do we have now?"

Butler: "...Anyway, I just feel that we are still being taken advantage of!"

He felt that even if he wanted to make other fields more productive, he should wait for the master to occupy them. Unfortunately, the master was always unwilling, saying that his people were not rich enough, so there was no need to fight.

He doesn't understand, where is it not rich enough? Isn't it rich enough for people to grow beets in exchange for brown sugar?

The butler looked down on the "neighbor" very much. Even if the master said so, he thought it made sense, but it was still very awkward, and he couldn't persuade the master, so he had to go back and make those prisoners work crazily.

"Lance, what do you think?" Cui Qichao asked the child for his opinion.

Lance is a few years older, and his stature has also increased. His blue eyes are quieter, and he looks a little boy. He scratched his cheek, "Uncle, when you say that you are not rich, you mean you have to wait until our Northumberland , Can everyone afford meat at home?"

Cui Qichao: "Almost."

This wish is too great, Lance said: "I think it will be realized soon, if people in other places know that we can eat meat without beating, they will stay here voluntarily like the slaves in the castle. "

He glanced at Cui Qichao and said in a low voice, "Don't talk about the future, I think these captives, after staying in Northumberland for a period of time, maybe you drive them away, but they don't want to go."

Cui Qichao was very satisfied when he heard the first half. That's right, he himself didn't want to spend a limited time in an infinite war. If Northumberland developed well enough and couldn't be attacked, someone would naturally come to join him with the land. , follow, like Gawain half-persecuted.

Cui Qichao was a little unexpected in the second half, "Really? Isn't the housekeeper very strict?"

No matter how strict it is, it's not like other territories. The current rule in Northumberland is that if you beat people crazily, what should you do if you lose your labor force?These people work here, and although their food is just a mess, they can see what a good life people in Northumberland are living.

Even those captives who were originally civilians and knights would think, how come Northumberland is treated so well because they are all civilians/knights.

Lance said: "I heard some captives complaining. I knew they would go to you directly. You said that they will turn around and go to you immediately after they are redeemed?"

Cui Qichao thought to himself, it seems that he still lacks understanding of the fiery days of the people in other territories, and there is no need to wait for Northumberland to become richer, someone is willing to come now, "The housekeeper should be happy."

……

Not to mention, what Cui Qichao and Lance talked about came true.

After working hours, Cui Qichao notified other territories to come and redeem people. The knights' families would send some food, and the civilians would forget it. They had no money anyway, so they were free.

As soon as the commoners heard that they were going to leave, they immediately yelled: "My lord, I won't go! How well I do my job, please stay with me, and I will rent your land for farming!"

Steward: "Damn! Whoever wants to rent the land to you, the captives can only be slaves!"

The commoner said aggrievedly: "It's good to be a slave, I can still live in a house."

The butler rolled his eyes to the back of his head, "I think it's a good idea, get out, you've wasted so much of our food."

If the master hadn't said to send these people away, he would have asked people to stay and taste what a real slave's life is like.

These people are all symbols of planting the seeds of new knowledge. After being sent back to their territories, they will tell everyone they know about their magical encounters in Northumberland.

How do the people there farm and fertilize, why can they have so many grains of wheat on one ear of wheat, and how can one mu of land produce so many catties, and they use their method to preserve seeds, but they only need so much for the next year? A little seed can sow a whole field...

Of course, they will also tell everyone that every farmer in Northumberland can be a soldier with a gun, and even queues to go to the toilet.

Oh, you asked where the toilet is, of course it is the place where the excrement is collected, where the excrement is a good thing to be used as fertilizer.

Therefore, the land of Northumberland is always clean, because the people are also clean when they are washed with special herbal water. Even the common people wash their faces and bodies like the nobles in the south.

Even, when their sugar mill produces brown sugar, children can share the sweet sugar paste.Even the poorest serfs, after selling the brown sugar, had the money to exchange it for a little salt and add it to their usual soups.

When the lords of other territories heard it, they couldn't hear the welfare, but they heard the harvest.

Well, it’s no wonder that a barony can support so many knights. I thought it was all caused by planting beets, grapes, and wool trees. It turns out that they have so many more grains of wheat per ear than other places.

They have to use nearly half of the harvest per acre of land, and the seeds used in Northumberland are halved and then halved, and the harvest will be doubled and doubled.

Those who worked in Northumberland had seen it with their own eyes and cultivated it themselves, so of course they had to learn these methods.I heard that all the white soil in Northumberland has been turned into arable land to grow sugar beet and grapes. No wonder they are not afraid of arable land, and they are not afraid that these people will teach others how to grow wheat and fertilize.

For a while, feces battles were also staged in other territories.Because the situation in Northumberland was different at the beginning, it was also a little chaotic.

Farmers secretly hid excrement, and Zhuangtou led people to go door to door to grab excrement, "These excrements belong to the master, and only the master can enjoy them in advance. You can only enjoy them after the master finishes eating them!"
