Arriving at the "demonstration field", three local residents were carefully digging out newly germinated wheat seeds from the seedling area, and then transplanting them to other open spaces in the "demonstration field". (The wheat seedlings are very small, [Biquge 520 www
.biquge520.xyz] needs to be buried in the soil and will continue to grow next year)
This is a nursery area specially set aside by Xia Duo. He has been leaving it there, waiting for the princess to arrive before arranging for transplants. So far, the "demonstration field" has opened up a total of nearly 6 acres, but there is still nearly one acre.
No planting.
Once these wheat seedlings are completely planted, they will be almost full.
And before winter, as long as more open spaces can be cleared, Xia Duo can convert them all into "demonstration fields". After all, there is no time limit for the creation of spells.
Xia Duo stretched out his hand and drew a large circle in front of him, and introduced: "Your Highness, this is the first batch of farmland expected to be opened up in Linshui Village, Daxia Ling, with a total area of 100 acres. At present, the debris has been cleared, the land has been leveled, and barley farming has been carried out.
There are nearly 6 acres planted.”
In order to explain more conveniently and vividly, Xia Duo also displayed the farmland planning map in the form of magic images. In his plan, in addition to the first batch, there are also a second batch and a third batch.
It will eventually expand to the east of the elven ruins of Mysteria, and the continuous clearing of the forest in the future will also become an important decision for the Great Xia Territory and will continue to be carried out.
Of course, this requires a lot of manpower and material resources to be achieved.
However, seeing this large area of land being occupied by forests and not being used by humans to develop population, people's livelihood, and magic, Xia Duo always felt a little unbearable.
Although Xia Duo only showed a part of the farmland planning map, Princess Shia became very interested in it. As far as she knew, no territory had carried out such long-term planning before development. She felt that Xia Duo should still
There are more plans.
So he proposed to go to other places to have a look, and asked as he walked: "I just noticed that the wheat seeds in Daxia collar were produced using magic in advance and then transplanted?"
This unique method also made her very curious. Although she was a great arcanist, it was more of an achievement in the field of magic. When it came to farming, she might not be as good as an ordinary peasant woman.
As a Grand Arcanist, she doesn't need to worry about anything she doesn't understand, she can just ask.
"Your Highness, the sowing in the past was just to sow the seeds randomly, and the germination rate was very low. It was necessary to replant many times in the later period, which was a waste of seeds. This method of early seedling cultivation used by Daxia Leader can even if magic is not used to induce the growth of seedlings.
, you can also artificially modify the environment suitable for germination, thereby greatly improving the overall germination rate. As for what environment is most suitable for germination, this can be summarized through many attempts."
Xia Duo said it in detail. In fact, even without his intervention, ordinary farmers in Naise may develop suitable or even more suitable agricultural technologies in the future.
It just requires an environment that elevates agriculture and farmers to a higher status.
This is obvious on earth. After all, no matter how much we disparage farmers, all people’s food is grown by farmers.
But in Netheril, mages can also farm, and the arcane gardens can meet the mages' own needs without any problem, and can even be supplied to outsiders. In this case, it is difficult for farmers to improve their status.
This is determined by the real environment, and Shado intervened relatively early. There was no obvious separation between the upper and lower classes in Netheril. He integrated spells into all aspects of ordinary people's production and life in advance, sinking the concept of mages.
This helps to gain the broadest support from the population.
Mages and high-level mages are, after all, a small number of elites, and without the support of a wider population and a steady stream of new blood, the death of a high-level mage may one day have a very far-reaching impact.
The entire civilization collapsed.
This is actually the correctness, advancement and inevitability of the whole people’s practice of law.
When facing the princess, Xia Duo does not need to instill ideas into her directly. This is not necessary, but he can use relevant methods to make her understand the truth behind it.
Including the completed "Great Xia Ling Standard Development Manual", Xia Duo did not talk about his ideas in it, but hid everything behind each action.
If you accept his behavior, you will inevitably accept his ideas.
Advanced productive forces replace backward productive forces, and advanced production relations replace backward production relations. This is a historical necessity of historical materialism.
Of course, in the magical world, the details may be different. For example, in Nese, belief can produce power, which will blur the boundaries between advanced and backward.
But from a broader perspective and a longer time scale, there is no doubt that the advanced will replace the backward.
As for the detailed analysis of specific issues, Xia Duo is temporarily unable to understand what advancement is from a broader perspective and a longer time scale, but for now, he has fully grasped what advancement is.
This may be repeated in the future, but Xia Duo will also learn from time to time, analyze from time to time, analyze in real time, learn from time to time, keep pace with the times as much as possible, and embrace the future.
…
The next stop after the "Demonstration Field" is the Altar Square. This is actually nothing interesting to see, it is just a small square. There are similar infrastructures in other places.
Xia Duo has always been very cautious about the realm of gods and has not come up with any innovations on a whim. And judging from the princess's attitude, she doesn't seem to have much interest in it.
The group of people quickly skipped here and walked north.
To the north is the residential area. They are villagers now, but they may be townspeople and citizens in the future. Rows of modular cabins are built. Except for the different textures of the wood, they are almost exactly the same.
Sha Duo promptly introduced the manufacturing process of these wooden houses to Princess Shia, and the next stop was the wooden house making workshop.
Hundreds of local residents were busy, and the most eye-catching thing was the various rulers and squares they would pick up from time to time.
Since most of these craftsmen were temporarily trained by ordinary citizens and lacked experience as carpenters, Xia Duo prepared a lot of rulers for them when designing the modular manufacturing plan.
For example, when we want to produce front wall wooden boards, we have a special front wall ruler, which is marked in advance. The length, width, and thickness are all marked for their convenience.
Without these, so-called modular manufacturing and mass production will be difficult to achieve, because without these, you can only rely on the experience of carpenters.
Experience is difficult to quantify and popularize, which is what Xia Duo does not agree with. He hopes to quantify the so-called experience to the extreme -
The most basic carpentry only requires being able to understand drawings and use various tools skillfully to produce qualified products. Going a step further may include creating new drawings, studying wood properties, inventing new tools, and so on.
Turn carpenters into carpenters, this is the industrialization idea on earth.
Putting it in the field of magic, it actually subdivides the research and application of magic.
