Release that Witch Chapter 126: Wheat transformation
The rotation system does not matter for villages with low population density or small town, but the land around big cities is tight, and using this method is equivalent to wasting land. Places like Silver Light City, Fallen Dragon Ridge and Kingdom Capital import large quantities of food from other towns every month.
The first step in using human and animal fat is to collect them. This is why Roland decided to establish a public toilet as early as possible, and at the same time, it can reduce the spread of diseases and beautify the living environment. After the rest of the crew arrived, the toilet was almost completed. As for how to compost and plant the land, he decided to select a group of experienced veterans to teach them alone. After all, the land is still in the stage of leveling and clearing up, and it takes at least a week to cultivate.
After finishing the work at hand, he decided to go to the back garden to see experimental field of Leaf.
Since Leaf has been researching various kinds of seed improvements, crops have been planted everywhere in the garden where flowers can be grown. She also divided the flower pond into many blocks and numbered according to the recommendations of Roland, which can compare the development results of the two experimental crops.
Roland just stepped into the yard and was dazzled by a puff of golden wheat.
"His Royal Highness." Seeing the prince, the Leaf squatting by the side of the flower pond stood up and closed the hair by the ear, bowing and saluting.
"This is the result of your improvement?" He waved his hand, motioned to the other party not to be polite, walked over and excitedly held a heavy wheat ear, and felt its full glory with his fingers.
He has no concept of what wheat can look like, but compared to the memory in the Kingdom Capital wheat field when he was a child, those wheat ears are not only smaller than his hands, but also have many grains.
Leaf nodded, "I first make the wheat ears bigger, ripen and harvest the seeds, and then plant new seeds into the flower pond to get such wheat ears. But ... repeat this process and repeatedly plant two After three rounds, it is difficult to grow large and long wheat ears. I don't know why. "
Unfortunately, I can't help in this regard, thought Roland. According to his poor and poor junior high school biological knowledge, it is probably because of self-deficit? In the south, all rice is grown, far from wheat. In order to increase yield, seeds are also bought. However, it has practical value to maintain two generations. A wheat plant can produce more than 130 seeds. The first seeds are transformed by Leaf. The next step is for farmers to make their own seeds, which can be used at least. Two years.
"Why is this piece empty?" Roland noticed a flowerbed with only a few dried straw.
"I planted it there at first, maybe because it was planted too many times," Leaf was not sure, "when I cast magic power, wheat can grow quickly, but after magic power is removed, they will quickly wither. . "
It seems that the magic power transformed plants still need nutrients from the land to continue growing, and some trace elements are still essential. Roland went to the last flowerbed. The shape of the wheat planted here was very strange. Several clusters of blue wheat ears were hung on the straw of an arm. The center of the straw was extended with several branches. The branches were covered with green leaves. Therefore, the size of each wheat is relatively large, and only two plants are planted in the flowerbed.
This is the magic modified wheat tree that Roland let Leaf try.
The direction he envisions is to turn wheat into a banana tree, to produce fruit from the branches and to harvest it regularly every year, thereby saving the trouble of ploughing and planting, and growing larger and more green leaves, and improving photosynthesis. To reduce land requirements. At present, the stout straw and branches take up a little space, and only the branches growing wheat ears are not in line with the original idea. Otherwise, let Leaf try to improve in the direction of the vine? Roland thinks, after all, she has never seen a real banana tree, and grapes are not a rare product in Greycastle. If there is a comparison, it should be easier to imitate.
"The seeds of these three wheats cannot be used for sowing," said Leaf. "I have tried, and the wheat kernels cannot germinate after they are planted. But it does produce repeated results. The ears of wheat you see are already the first. Two batches. "
Unable to germinate means that each wheat tree is unique and needs Leaf to transform it by hand. The current planting value is not great. "You did a good job. The variety of barley ears is called Golden No. 1. I will leave a experimental field on the south bank of Scarlet Water River for you, and cover it with fences and partitions. You will ripen a batch of Golden No. 1 there as soon as possible for this year Spring planting, ”Roland instructed.“ As for the garden, it will continue to be used to improve new varieties. I just came up with a lot of ideas. Not only wheat crops, grapes are worth trying. ”
Unfortunately, Leaf can only understand the characteristics of a crop from the macro level: for example, there are many fruits, sweet taste, dense branches, etc ... If she can understand the micro level, can she directly manipulate genes and perform subtle and detailed Exact adjustment? For example, plants can absorb light other than visible light such as ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and even ionizing radiation for photosynthesis, and directly produce energy storage substances such as starch, glucose, and sucrose, so that people can grow crops directly in the cultivation tank.
Till the evening, Fourth Prince lit a bonfire beside Scarlet Water River, so that Carter and personal guard gathered all serfs. A pot of pots was carried here by citizen, and it was set up on a newly built simple mud stove to make the porridge.
The serfs looked down at the new owner who was facing the bonfire. There are also some daring, still secretly looking at the prince from time to time.
Roland stood in front of the bonfire and announced the regulations he had made to more than a thousand people.
"I am the owner of Roland Wimbledon, Greycastle Fourth Prince, Border Town feudal lord, and Western Region's!"
"I called you here to tell everyone that it is your luck to come to this territory! As long as you work hard, you can get rid of your current identity and status!"
"Yes, I will give you a chance to get rid of slavery and become a free man!"
There was a sudden uproar in the serf. What freemen means, these serfs know very well that they can no longer be cruelly abused by their masters, no longer have to be forced to carry out endless farming, and that the crops produced in the fields no longer need to be turned over to the masters. Get rid of serfdom.
Roland waited for a while and continued to say, "From tomorrow on, each of you will be assigned a fixed piece of land. At the same time, someone will instruct you how to cultivate to harvest more wheat. In the first year, the field You can keep 30% of the harvest, and hand in 70% to Border Town. The best batch will be promoted to freemen! "
"After becoming freemen, your family can be exempted from slavery together. Whether you continue to cultivate or look for other livelihoods in the town is up to you. You choose to cultivate and harvest 20% of the food as rent. Turn it in, and the remaining 80% is at your disposal. For those who want to make a living, farmland will be returned to feudal lord. Of course, there is no need to turn in any food! "
As soon as this remark came out, there was only a sound of breathing at the scene. At this moment, I don't know who shouted, "Your Highness, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course," Roland said, "As a feudal lord, I never deceive my people."
"His Royal Highness," someone can't help whispering, and then his voice quickly becomes louder, "long live His Highness the Prince!"
A serf in the front row knelt down with shouts, followed by the second and third people ...
Until kneeling down in the field, the pressure was black and black, and the voices were rising and falling, more and more. People's voices finally merged into the same rhythm, "His Royal Highness! long live His Highness the Prince!"
Since Echo, there is no need for trust anymore, the prince thought.
He claps his hands, and tells the guard behind him, "Open a meal!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start casting, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please To read.)
