"I didn't expect the lord to know the situation of our farm so well." The owner of the magic manor who came in a hurry said with a smile.
The owner of the magic manor is dressed in a standard farmer's attire, with broad and rough hands and feet, and a dark face. He can tell at a glance that he is someone who has been digging in the land all year round. Judging from his appearance, he is not particularly old, only forty years old.
He doesn't look like that. Because he looks older, his actual age may be reduced by four or five years on this basis.
"Of course, agriculture is the foundation of the entire territory, especially magical agriculture. It is the future of our territory. Although I have never been here, I am paying attention to your every move. Mr. Dewit, your article
The analysis report on the future development trend of magic crops is still fresh in people's minds." Sean's last sentence fully proved that he did know about this magic manor, and he did not learn about the farm from other magic manor staff who arrived first.
Owner's name.
"Lord, have you seen my research report?" Field Master DeWitt was enveloped in a huge joy.
This undoubtedly represents a recognition of his hard work in plant research over the years.
Agriculture is the foundation of a territory. Everyone understands this simple truth.
After all, no matter how your lifestyle changes, most of the things that fill your stomach are grown in the ground. The Yongye Army has already produced a special research report that shows that in the same piece of land, the number of people supported by farming civilization is
More than ten times that of nomadic civilization.
But in terms of ideology, whether to pay attention to it is another matter.
Because the Yongye Army did not start from agriculture at all. Manufacturing and trade were the biggest pillars of their start-up. The bulk of their food had always been imported from the Byron Alliance.
This situation has not changed with the passage of time, but has become more serious.
Because the development speed of Yongye Army's manufacturing industry is far higher than that of their agriculture.
It is no exaggeration to say that manufacturing and trade account for more than 99% of the entire military tax revenue.
In this case, the overall social atmosphere will be biased towards manufacturing and trade.
If you were to lead the Yongye Army to various posts and arrange positions.
The first one on the list is the serving soldiers, there is no doubt about this.
Serving in the Evernight Army is not just a matter of benefits, benefits, and glory.
It is also a great opportunity to change themselves. Here they will systematically re-study, whether it is cultural classes, martial arts, combat skills, thoughts, etc.
Many people complete the most important transformation in their lives in the military camp. When the time comes, whether they continue to serve in the military or transfer to another place, this will be their most valuable qualification.
The soldiers here refer not only to the main legion soldiers, but also to military units such as the Medical Research Institute and the Firearms Bureau. They are all serving soldiers, but the nature of the work they perform is slightly different.
Ranked second is the military-related industry. Although it is not as good as the main army, the welfare benefits in all aspects are still favorable. At this point, Yongye Army Leader has always adhered to the principle that risks are proportional to rewards.
The risks you take in this position are large enough, and the salary will naturally be favorable. You cannot make any outstanding citizens shed blood, sweat and tears.
When inherent concepts are formed, everyone will take them for granted.
Ranked third and fourth are those engaged in business and manufacturing. This ranking is basically evenly divided, and mainly targets those relatively ordinary people, as well as those women.
Not everyone can become a soldier. Many people are destined to only stay in logistics positions, regardless of their own abilities or personalities.
The salaries of business people and manufacturing workers are relatively generous. In an ordinary family, as long as there are more than two people engaged in related industries, their family circumstances are usually not too bad.
At the bottom are people like the owner of DeWitt Farm, who specialize in agriculture-related industries.
Subconsciously, people will think that this is a career chosen by people with no skills.
After all, whether they are business people or manufacturing employees, especially the latter, they are not completely off-the-job workers. Most of them are part-time farmers and workers.
Farming is just that, what else can be studied?
As everyone knows, without the hard work of these professionals, where would they have come from a wide variety of high-quality seeds?
As a veteran of Yongye Army's agricultural field, the owner of Dewit Farm feels particularly deeply about this.
If it weren't for the insistence of his own lord to insist on researching crops even when using private funds, the Yongye Army leader's agricultural research would not have started yet.
As the unique environment of the Northern Fortress unfolded, magic plants and magic crops emerged, and their unique effects were demonstrated, people in their industry received more or less attention.
However, it is only limited to the senior leaders of the Yongye Army. Ordinary people currently have no way to come into contact with magic crops.
As long as one's own lord recognizes oneself, what does other people's eyes mean?
"I have not only read the latest report from the farm owner, but I have also read your previous reports on crop grafting and new farming technology. I just said that agriculture is the basis of a territory, and only what is produced in the land
With enough food to feed everyone, the territory can maintain stability and develop the economy and military." Sean was not shy about his praise, "Our territory is precisely because there are many people like the owners who fight silently in the first place.
It is only the front-line scientific research staff that leads to the current prosperity."
"Lord, you are over-praised, over-praised. We just did our job well. We just did our job well." The owner of Dewit felt a little guilty after being praised by Sean. He kept rubbing his penis like an old farmer.
There was a trace of blush on his hands and dark face. He didn't know whether he was exposed to the sun by Qiu Huhu or because he was nervous, but he kept sweating.
Obviously, having a direct dialogue with the top leader of his territory put him under a lot of pressure.
Front-line workers like him who fight in such obscurity usually have a simple and honest temperament, and are not good at speaking or communicating.
"Magic crops are certainly very important, but the role of ordinary crops cannot be ignored. After all, in a short period of time, ordinary crops will be the main body. Especially when the Donau Plain is developed in the future, a large number of high-quality seeds suitable for farming will be needed.
The reason why you are transferred here as the farm owner is not just to plant corn. The most important thing is to continue the original research.
The effect of magic energy on crops is not only magic crops, but also has a profound impact on ordinary crops. It facilitates mutation breeding and selects seeds suitable for farming on ordinary land.
Especially the hybridization mentioned in your last paper, I think it is a very valuable topic for research. When studying this, don’t be limited by magical plants. Magical crops can hybridize, and ordinary crops can also hybridize, and even
Magic crops and ordinary crops can also be hybridized.
After all, the two are of the same origin, and the boundary is not that clear. As long as crops with strong adaptability and high yield can be cultivated, the origin is not important." Sean quickly changed the topic to what the owner of DeWitt Farm is best at.
"Lord, I am thinking the same thing." Field Master Dewit slapped his thigh heavily and said with a red face, "I have been trying this recently. Under the stimulation of magic energy, normal crops have become more diverse.
Well, in the same piece of land, wheat and rice are cultivated in the same way, but the crops grown are diverse. There are weed types that are tenacious but not very productive, and there are also weed types that are rich in fruit, but without wind.
of.
I was just thinking, wouldn’t it be perfect if the two varieties took the advantages of each and combined them into one variety?
The results have been seen this year. If your lord and lady are interested, I will take you to have a look."
Speaking of what he is best at doing, the owner of DeWitt is not so restrained and speaks clearly and logically.
Hearing the mention of Sophia Liya, Sean remembered his purpose. He turned to Sophia Liya with an apologetic expression and said: "I'm sorry, while we were talking about a topic of interest, I forgot to introduce it to you. This is
DeWitt Ken, don't think that he is just the owner of Magic Manor now, that's because this place needs professionals to manage it. In fact, he is one of the best botanists in our territory. He is very knowledgeable in breeding and grafting. Your
Among the many new farming techniques in the fief, he has a share of credit, and this is my wife Sophia."
"It's okay, you don't need to worry about me. I am very interested in the topic you are talking about. In the past few years, my territory has benefited a lot from this aspect. I will still need to rely on this aspect in the future. After all, agriculture is our pillar industry. In the past,
Yes, and I guess it will be the same in the future." Princess Sophia had a just right smile on her face.
It not only makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze, but also maintains a distance that is neither far nor close, leaving people with an approachable yet noble feeling.
In this aspect, Princess Sophia, who has been trained since she was a child, is definitely a professional. In comparison, Sean is an out-and-out nouveau riche who cannot manage the relationship with his subordinates well.
Being too close will certainly make them feel friendly, but it will weaken the sense of mystery and prestige in their hearts.
When it is far away and too far, it will give people a feeling of being unattainable.
In this area, Sean needs to learn from Princess Sophia. The three hundred years of etiquette accumulated by the Lancelot royal family are not in vain.
"I know, I know, I know." The owner of Dewit said repeatedly, "My wife is a hundred times more noble and beautiful than what is shown in the newspaper. The lord is too praised. She is far from being called a botanist. At most, she is in this aspect.
The fact that I have dabbled in it is not due to me alone, it is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.”
"The people in our territory seem to be so humble." Princess Sophia couldn't help but chuckle, "Everything here really opened my eyes. If you don't mind, let's continue."
"Okay, okay, you two, please follow me." The owner of the field, DeWitt, turned around and walked in front.
Lead Sean and Sophia Liya to delve deeper into the magic manor.
This magic manor occupies a large area. If you take it seriously, it has reached the category of a small village.
Magic corn was just one of their many crops, and soon they passed by magic wheat fields, magic potato fields, magic potato fields, magic rape fields, magic orchards, etc.
The types are very diverse.
This magic manor is more appropriately described as a large-scale experimental field than its production base.
The main purpose is to compare the different conditions of various crops under the stimulation of magical energy, select stable and excellent varieties, and prepare for large-scale planting in the future.
Some of these crops can still be seen as the original varieties, while some have completely changed their appearance. If no one introduced them, they would not even be able to guess their original varieties.
Along the way, the owner of the field, Dewit, introduced the growth conditions of each crop in a clear and logical manner, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, their future breeding directions, and whether they have the possibility of large-scale promotion in the future.
He is indeed a very qualified botanical researcher, and he probably spends a lot of time squatting in the fields.
"Where is this?" Sophilia's eyes fell on the simple house on the edge of the field.
Along the way, they saw many such simple houses, which existed in many places. Could they be used to stand guard to prevent people from stealing food?
"I let people do it." The owner of Dewit said with some embarrassment, "I am a lazy person, and sometimes I find it troublesome to come and run away, so I simply let people set up some tool rooms, which can be used for storing food.
Farm tools are used to rest when you are tired, and sometimes you can observe the growth of crops nearby. Some varieties grow at an alarmingly fast rate, and sometimes they can change their appearance overnight."
"I finally understand why the Yong Ye Army Leader was able to develop to this extent in less than ten years." Princess Sophia Liya sighed sincerely.
Where is laziness in this?
He was simply too diligent and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this work.
If the owner of a magic manor is like this, what about the other personnel?
A glimpse of the leopard may not be completely accurate, but it is of great reference value.
DeWitt's farm owner was a little confused when applying. He didn't know why the lord's wife suddenly made such a exclamation. What does this have to do with his tool room?
On the contrary, Sean knew exactly what Sophia Liya was lamenting, and replied with a smile: "Yes, the prosperity of a territory must be inseparable from the joint efforts of countless people. I am very lucky to have a group of people like Dewit Field.
As long as they are still here, people who fulfill their duties as loyal as the Lord, why worry about the territory not being prosperous?"
Only then did the owner of Dewit realize that the lord's wife was praising herself in a different way, saying repeatedly: "I didn't do anything great, I was just doing my job well. I should be glad that I was born in this place."
The era is the territory, and it is the lord who gave me an opportunity to do things that interest me. If it were not for the lord, if there was no territory, I would be just an ordinary farmer now."
"You have to do your job well. If everyone in this world can do their job well, there will definitely be a different scene." Sophia Liya couldn't help but sigh again.
Doing your job well may seem simple, but it is very difficult to do it.
Especially those lords and nobles who are the ruling class, even if half of them can do their jobs well, the current Byron Alliance will be a different Byron Alliance.
"Let's save the words of praise for later. Let's continue the topic just now. The venue owner said that there is the possibility of improvement in the use of magic energy. Do you have any good ideas? Let's hear it." Sean added.
The topic changed back.
"Some of them are just my imagination, and some of them are unverified inferences. If I'm wrong, please forgive me, Lord." Field Master Dewit was obviously a little embarrassed, because the next words he spoke seemed to be making conditions.
Already.
"Understand that scientific research requires bold assumptions and careful verification. If you don't even have a good idea, it means you don't even have a future research direction. How can you achieve good results? If your idea is really good
, if it is feasible, I will definitely arrange it as soon as possible." Sean was also aroused with strong interest.
Originally he was just accompanying Princess Sophia to learn about the random behavior of the Yongye Army leader, but he was actually able to hit a big fish.
