Two months later, the cultivated land near Khajuraho City has changed drastically. Greenhouses made of white films and steel bars are buckled on the cultivated land. Inside the greenhouses, shirtless and sweaty farmers are waving sickles to harvest the harvest.
of fruits.
Needless to say, these greenhouses were also instigated by Ronan during this period. As the crystallization of human wisdom, greenhouses can play an anti-seasonal role in keeping warm, allowing some crops that require sufficient temperatures to grow to survive in the relatively low temperatures of spring, autumn and severe cold.
It can also be planted in winter.
However, this area is still in a state of continuous experimentation, and there are still many problems. For example, there are not enough facilities to ensure a constant temperature in the greenhouse, and it is impossible to regulate the temperature efficiently. As a result, we can still only grow some relatively solid crops, otherwise
Otherwise, it is easy to die, resulting in production reduction or even no delivery.
Outside the greenhouse, autumn has already entered, and many crops have been planted on the cultivated land that has been harvested. The seeds of crops that can be planted in autumn or even winter were exchanged by Ronan from the system, and even
He also exchanged many books on the cultivation methods of these crops to find people to study, and asked them to specialize in this, and became the first agricultural experts in the Rongxia Empire.
Of course, excessive planting will definitely overdraw the land. Ronan is also researching on how to maintain the fertility of the land or even make it better, and it has been quite effective. It is estimated that the first batch will be produced soon.
Fertilizer comes.
Wearing ordinary clothes, Ronan was walking in a greenhouse with several new agricultural experts and some guards. Khajuraho was close to the river and there was no shortage of water, so the wells did not need to be drilled very deep. Since there was no electricity, so
Ronan could only use some indigenous methods to achieve drip irrigation.
Set up racks above all the ridges, and put drip irrigation heads made of funnels, small tubes and the like on top. Farmers would fill them with water every once in a while, and the water would drip through the layers of mechanisms.
Drop by drop on the crops ensures maximum utilization of water resources and no waste. After all, no shortage of water is relative.
Most of the crops currently grown in greenhouses are small cabbage, rape lettuce and other crops that are easy to feed and have a fast growth cycle. They can harvest more than ten crops a year. The number of crops will be reduced only by considering the fertility of the land.
After these two months of hard work, the grain production here has more than tripled. When it is gradually promoted in the future, all parts of the Rongxia Kingdom will no longer be short of food, and can even become a major grain exporter.
"Very good, don't let your research go to waste. Also experiment with the seeds I gave you. Northland is short of water. Whether those seeds can be successfully planted and survive in arid areas is very important to Northland!"
After digging out a ripe cabbage, Ronan looked through it carefully, then handed it to the experts behind him and spoke to them at the same time.
The seeds they were asked to find a place for experimental planting were also crops with strong drought resistance that Ronan exchanged from the system. If they could be successfully planted on a large scale, they could solve a lot of problems.
"Let's go to school!"
Walking out of the hot greenhouse, Ronan felt the cool breeze gently brushing his cheeks outside and said after relieving the irritability caused by the scorching heat in the greenhouse, he then took the lead to walk to the spacious open space on the edge of the cultivated land and rode on the chained horse.
War horses on stakes by the roadside.
The school was built in the outer city of Khajuraho. It has just opened for less than a month. Most of the students are the children of the people in the city. There are also some young people who have not been drafted for military service before, and there are even some female students. This is Ronan.
The people who were specially recruited were from good families and not too old. Ronan did not want to focus education only on men. Under the influence of past life thinking, he felt that women in this world could also be qualified for many jobs if they were well educated.
The school is divided into three campuses, with five four-story buildings, a large playground, and two small playgrounds, covering an area of more than 50,000 square meters. It is currently the largest building complex in Khajuraho.
Most of the current students are children between the ages of seven and twelve. Under Ronan's appeal, the people who had great trust in him happily sent their children to school, and after getting to know Ronan
With the policy and the deception of the staff, I also have some expectations for my children to go to school, hoping that my children can return home after completing their studies and lead their own families to live a good life.
Because most civilians are illiterate, the current lecturers in the school can only be nobles. Ronan recruited many people from various noble families with certain knowledge from all over the North to serve as teachers, and he taught them before taking up their posts.
They have conducted intensive training, and they will also need to study with the students later. After all, they are intellectuals, but most of these guys can only read and do some simple arithmetic.
They are responsible for teaching lower-grade students while studying. For the lower-grade students, their knowledge is enough for the time being. As for the higher-grade teachers who need more profound knowledge, they come from those who are already good at learning and teaching.
Private tutors who taught children of noble families.
These private teachers are all proficient in arithmetic, history, aristocratic studies, essay studies, etc. They will serve as the backbone, responsible for teaching students in the second grade and the first grade who are relatively behind, and responsible for training other teachers.
, when the first batch of students graduate in the future, Ronan will be able to select new teachers from among the outstanding graduates, and the teaching staff will not be so tense and scarce.
Students begin to be classified in the second half of the first grade, military category, craftsman category, and the category that focuses on learning and research. The military category is very simple. There are countless outstanding knights and officers in Ronan's army who can serve as
instructor.
The source of teachers for craftsmen is also very simple. Although due to the previous model, if you want to become a craftsman, you must be an apprentice to an experienced craftsman for several years before you can learn a little bit of craftsmanship, and it will take decades to open a shop on your own and become a new craftsman.
The number of craftsmen has always been low due to the reason of masters. After all, families with little ability cannot afford to have a child work as an apprentice for others for several years. Without any income, they cannot help the family. Most of the farm children still go to the fields early.
Got to work.
But this is just a matter of Ronan's words. Ronan asked those craftsmen to be teachers. Do they dare to say no? Even if he is not afraid of losing his head, he will not be able to live in peace in the future. Therefore, for Ronan's recruitment
, those craftsmen, despite their inner reluctance, still had to pack their bags and come to Ronan's school to teach students, and their original apprentices entered the school directly and became the first batch of craftsmen students.
