"Uh!" Bovi was asked. As an elite warrior, Bovi was naturally best at fighting and killing people.
He had followed the lord Old Sol several times to defeat the enemy. But Bovey was also born into a farmer's family and was an aborigine of this Pompeii territory.
Therefore, Bovey is not proficient in agriculture, but he knows enough about it.
Therefore, Bovey was very confused and even a little confused about Luther's words. Not only Bovey, but also the other guards looked confused.
Pour manure on the fields to fertilize the fields?
What the hell is this?
However, Bovey and the others soon felt relieved, because this was Master Luther before them, and this young master had only done one thing since he was a child.
Become a qualified knight lord.
Culture class, knight class.
The only purpose of training hard, learning knowledge, and mastering social skills is this. Therefore, it is understandable that this young master does not understand agriculture.
"Master Luther, the most important thing in this kind of field is plowing and weeding. As long as you do these two things, you can have enough food. As for pouring feces, it is disgusting and breeds pests."
Bovi explained patiently.
"What the hell is this?!" This time it was Luther's turn to look confused. Will pouring feces breed pests?
What the hell.
What the hell.
What the hell.
It took Luther a while to calm down, and told himself that this was a different world, a different world, and it was better not to assume the common sense of the previous life.
These natives have no habit of fertilizing their fields with excrement. They rely on the sky for their food.
But that's okay, Luther was a little confused about how to develop his little knighthood, but now it's better and his goal is clear.
Increase crop production.
Let the territory have a good harvest this year and increase tax revenue. With tax revenue, you can do many things.
Just do it.
By the way, Luther also noticed one thing. Plowing the fields, what does plowing the fields mean? Isn’t it plowing the fields?
A thirst for knowledge forced Luther to ask about this matter.
"How do farmers usually plow their fields?"
After asking, Luther looked ashamed. No matter what world he was in, this should be common sense. It was really shameful to ask such a low-level question.
Fortunately, Bowie and others were very considerate of this noble young lord and had no intention of making fun of him. Bowie continued to explain patiently: "Of course, with a hoe."
"This is a lot of work, and farmers are really hard-working."
Having said this, Bovi sighed again.
Luther looked confused again. Oh my god, cultivating fields actually relies on manpower. You know, in ancient China, farmers knew that cattle could be used instead of manpower.
This world is really weird.
Okay, let me walk through it.
The poor people in this world don’t know how to fertilize their fields with excrement. They treat their excrement as garbage. They also defecate everywhere. They collect their excrement first and then fertilize their fields.
This not only beautifies the environment but also increases the fertility of the land.
Then send people to build roads. As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first.
The last step is to find a way to get a group of cattle, and they are not ordinary cattle, but a more docile breed of cattle. I don’t know if there are any in this world.
Build another batch of plows.
Use oxen power instead of human power.
This not only increases the yield of the land, but also saves manpower. Next year, we may be able to cut down trees and reclaim new land.
Well, let’s do this for internal affairs first.
I'm really too smart.
Luther thought happily.
As a time traveler, it turns out that this is my golden finger. I am a man who has mastered a lot of knowledge for five thousand years.
Commonly known as, King of China.
Um.
"Let's go back." Luther did what he thought of and waved his hand with excitement, turned the horse's head and headed straight for Pompeii Castle.
Commonly known as the carbine.
Xiu Xiuya, Bo Wei and others got to know each other for a while. Young Master Luther looked a little strange today. However, although they looked confused, they still followed closely.
Soon Luther returned to Pompeii Castle and dismissed everyone. Luther went straight to Old Sol's study and went to discuss with his father.
no way.
Although his father gave him the right to intervene in the territory, this matter was a bit big. If he couldn't convince his father, everything would be in vain.
One word, money.
A penny can stump a heroic man.
To establish an internal affairs department, let's call it the city hall. It requires a mayor and a number of office staff. These people must be paid wages.
This is a financial expenditure.
It doesn't matter if the road is built, just let people find the strong men in each village to build the road. In this Pompeii territory, the Pompeii family can still go smoothly if they call on the people to do this.
Then there are the ox and the plow.
It takes money to build a plow, and even more money to buy oxen. Not just money, but a lot of money.
There is nothing we can do about it. Meat is very expensive in this world. Providing abundant meat is the key to training knights.
The Pompeii family had a group of livestock on their pasture, but they could barely provide food for the Pompeii family, Saul, Luther, William, and the Iron Horse family, Magellan, Shosua and his son.
The remaining warriors rarely had enough meat to eat.
That's the reality, meat is expensive.
To buy cattle, you need at least sixty cattle. Each village needs at least five cattle, and Pompeii owned ten villages. In addition, the fields that directly belonged to the Pompeii family and were cultivated by the serfs were included.
Sixty cows is a minimum.
This amount of money is a large sum of money, and it would be a crippling sum for a small knight lord family like the Pompeii family.
This must convince old Sol.
In fact, Luther is a little worried about whether he can convince Old Saul. After all, the matter is too big. However, we have no chance of winning.
The chance of winning lies with the stepmother, Mrs. Sophie.
Mrs. Sophie is the daughter of a merchant family. Although this status makes Old Sol feel a little grudge. However, Mrs. Sophie came with a large dowry, and Mrs. Sophie is good at running the house. Currently, there are still many people in the Pompeii family.
There is a small treasury belonging to Madame Sophie.
Luther's idea was to make a small fortune.
hey-hey.
Within this year of traveling back in time, Luther fully understood that this Mrs. Sophie was really good to him.
This is also one of his benefits.
For other time-travelers, when they meet their stepmother, there will definitely be a bloody drama. In the Pompeii family, his relationship with his stepmother is not bad.
Good thing.
All will be well with the family.
Luther walked into the study excitedly and met Old Saul.
The study room is full of the atmosphere of Pompeii's house, simple and not luxurious. There is only a desk, a chair, and a row of bookcases.
At this moment, Old Sol is writing something on his desk. Although Old Sol looks majestic and is a standard martial artist, in fact, Old Sol has a lot of ink in his belly and can also write poetry.
"Why are you so restless?" Old Sol raised his head and saw his eldest son coming in excitedly. He immediately frowned and shouted.
