Release that Witch Chapter 263: “Wheat is cooked”
Under the hot sun, Seney Darley was walking on the bank of the river wearing a straw hat and inspecting the growth of wheat ears situation.
After nearly four months of planting, wheat has now basically matured.
At a glance, you can't see that the marginal wheat field looks like a golden ocean. The wheat ears are thick and full. The number of caryopsis has more than doubled. Even the head is bigger than any spring wheat he has ever seen. . There is no need to wait for harvesting and weighing, Seney also knows that this year must be a bumper harvest year.
No doubt, this must be the credit of witch.
He planted the land with his father for ten years, and naturally knew what ordinary wheat should look like. One wheat plant has one to three ears, and each ear can produce twenty or thirty fruits. The fertility of the soil does affect the size of the kernels, but doubles the caryopsis produced by the wheat ears? With the exception of witch, he could not think of any other explanation.
There are many changes like this. For example, the towering water tower in small town, he has observed those behemoths up close, and manpower alone cannot transport a large iron bucket to an iron frame higher than a residential building, not to mention They were almost all built overnight. Nowadays, the townspeople who live in the community rarely need to carry buckets to fetch water. As long as the tap is opened, the cool well water will pour out from the pipe.
The same is true of the "Kojima" in the center of Scarlet Water River. Since His Royal Highness held a ceremony of honoring and connecting Miss Nana to the stage, the use of witch has become increasingly unveiled. Let a piece of land emerge from the empty river, which is obviously only possible with witch.
He once asked City Hall Prime Minister Barov about the matter, and the answer obtained was ignored, and His Highness Roland had his own ideas.
Okay ... Anyway, the royal family always loves Church. Even if the latter sends troops to fight His Highness the Prince, they must win First Army before they can speak. Otherwise, Western Region can only be Roland Wimbledon's Western Region.
Duke Ryan is not the best example.
"Master, you are here," two serfs weeding in the field saw Seney Darley, and immediately came forward, "Look, this wheat field can be harvested immediately, so, I would like to ask you ... ... "
"Want to ask what feudal lord said before?"
"Yes, yes," the serf rubbed his hands nervously, "Can we really be promoted to freemen?"
As the person in charge of Ministry of Agriculture, in addition to recording the best planting methods and statistical harvests, Seney also has an important responsibility: to communicate with serfs and promptly announce their Highness and City Hall policies. Although he doesn't like these country guys who deal with mud all day, the self-discipline of Knight allows him to fulfill his task.
"Have you seen those slogans?" Seney reached out to the banner beside the farmland.
"Sir, I ... can't understand ..." The serf smiled awkwardly.
"Labor creates wealth and labor changes destiny," he said. "That is to say, as long as you work hard, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to freemen. This is a commitment made by Your Highness and will definitely be achieved."
"Yes, isn't it? That's great!"
"After becoming freemen, you can stay in the small town central area, own your own brick house, and get the right to primary education at the same time. You do n’t need to ask me these slogans are What does it mean." Seney will repeat the corresponding promotional content again .
"Yes, sir." The serf nodded excitedly. "The weather is hot. Would you like to sit in my shed and drink a glass of water?"
"No, you can do it." He waved and watched as the two bowed their heads and thanked for a long time before returning to the field to continue their previous work. This is the most common question Seney has heard in the past month. No matter how they preach, they will always take the trouble to ask again, for fear that the feudal lord adults will cancel the policy in a blink of an eye.
I did n’t go far, and someone gathered around again, "Hello, Seney, do you really only need to pay 70% of these wheat after harvesting and drying?"
Hoo, he sighed in his heart. This problem occurred only after freemen was promoted and ranked second. "It was true in the first year. It will only decrease in the future. If it becomes freemen, only Just pay 20%, which we have repeatedly emphasized.
"It would be great if we could be promoted," said one of the tall men, touching the back of his head. "Then the remaining 30% of wheat, can we?"
"It can only be used to sell to His Highness the Prince, eat it yourself, or reserve seeds." Seney clapped their hands and simply asked them to call the serfs around them. "You listen, Border Town prohibits private sale of food, whether it is sold It ’s against the law of Border Town for local townspeople or for selling to foreign traders. If you do this, you will not only be confiscated, but you may also be imprisoned. "
"What if adults feudal lord only offer very low prices?" muttered the tall man.
"Of course there will be no such situation. Your Highness's purchase of grain will be uniformly executed at a stable market price. No matter whether it is a poor harvest or a bumper harvest, there will be no major changes. So you don't have to worry about selling wheat after you sell it. Do n’t worry about harvesting too much to sell or sell at a low price. ”Seney emphasized,“ the whole Border Town, there is only one place to sell food, that is the convenience market, and the market manager is us City Hall. ”
"What is the price ...?"
"Rest assured, Your Highness will announce it to you personally before the acquisition."
Looking at the serfs scattered by in twos and threes, he licked some dry lips and continued to inspect the crop situation. I don't know how many of this group will remember their words in their hearts, but the Barov adults have clearly conveyed His Highness's will. By then, the food sellers will be severely punished.
At this moment, a young serf broke away from the crowd, turned around and returned, "Master," he gasped, "I want to ask you a question."
"Yeah?"
"Do you know where Miss May and Ms. Irene have gone?" He hesitated. "There have been no drama shows in the square recently. I want to ask you about their current situation, are they ... sick? ? "
This is a fresh and interesting question. Seney ca n’t help but raise its lips. If it did n’t happen to see them at City Hall to go through the formalities, answer would n’t be able to come up, “They went to Longsong Stronghold.”
"Ah, "the other side looked disappointed," Aren't they planning to stay at Border Town? "
"Just going to the stronghold theater to perform," he shrugged, "and now that the weather is so hot, you can't bear to see them standing in the sun and sweating, right? When autumn comes, they will continue to return to the square to perform New drama. "
"Originally, so it is ... Thank you, sir!"
Looking at the young man's contented departure, Seney can't help but think of himself from Knight to the captive, and then from the captive to the City Hall official. The experience of these months can be described as ups and downs. He didn't want to return to the territory of Wolf Family. There was nothing but dilapidated houses and tracts of wheat fields. Being Knight was just trying to get rid of living with his father for a lifetime.
Not every Knight can be as beautiful as Morning Light, or as Duke Knight generally has the best territory and squire. Now he has more pay per year than when Knight, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Maybe it's time to bring my parents to small town, then marry a girl and enjoy life. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
