Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence
#124 - The beginning of a good harvest
The grace of the summer and wilderness god Tar came so violently.
If one could survive the disasters he brought, then after the storm, there would be wealth and opportunities falling from the sky everywhere.
This was simply a gift from the wilderness, a feast for the strong. After the rain, the siphon effect reached its peak. Many weak territories were destroyed, while the strong grew at a rate far exceeding the past.
Listening to this vigorous vitality, with all things competing to grow, Su Li couldn't bother with those matters of men and women. He sent Harry with a team of armed attendants to escort the beautiful forest witch on her journey to the forest cabin. He himself personally led the ministers and rode towards Bjorn Bay.
This road would first pass through the previously reclaimed farmland area of the territory, where three farmsteads took care of wheat, carrots, and cabbage.
After a rainstorm, Su Li felt that these vegetables and crops, like the weeds in the summer wilderness, grew wildly and densely, extraordinarily lush and vigorous.
So Su Li stopped his horse on the road next to the farmland and said to the Minister of Agriculture, Fandal, beside him: "It seems that this rainstorm is full of the divine power of Tar. I feel that after a rain, our crops have grown rapidly by a large margin."
Fandal looked out over this thousand acres of green farmland, full of hope for the territory, and said: " Tar is a god of intense divine grace. He is not like the Goddess of Dawn, who nourishes things silently, nor is he like the goddess, who is always responsive to requests. But if you can obtain his divine grace, it does indeed come extremely violently. According to the current size of cabbages and carrots, we can start harvesting."
The cabbages in the field were indeed blessed by the double divine grace of the Goddess of Dawn and the Summer God. Su Li initially chose these three crops under the guidance of the Daily Intelligence System, precisely because they could guarantee a good harvest.
And now, the harvest of cabbages has indeed exceeded everyone's expectations. The cabbages in the field are already the size of footballs!
It should be known that these cabbages have only been planted for less than two months. As vegetables, their growing cycle is at least about one hundred days, in order to roughly achieve three harvests a year in the field.
This means that the cabbages in the field have at least one month of growing cycle left. At that time, I am afraid that a heavy cabbage will weigh five pounds, as big as a basketball!
Starting to harvest cabbages now can greatly alleviate the pressure on the territory's food supply and extend the storage cycle of these vegetables.
After all, carrots can still be stored for a month or two after being pulled out of the ground. If all the cabbages are harvested in a short time, I am afraid they will all rot in less than a month.
Su Li decisively agreed to Fandal's proposal. These cabbages can already be harvested from more than ten acres every day.
Under his orders, a team of serfs soon came, baring their upper bodies and began to harvest the cabbages.
These men and women were ragged, and even the women were exposing their bodies, but the sickles and shovels in their hands were very sharp, which could almost be regarded as excellent weapons in the outer territory.
Soon they completed the harvest of one acre of land. After weighing, Fandal's face was full of the joy of harvest and the surprise of high yield.
"Lord, the yield of cabbages is surprisingly high. There are 2,500 plants in this acre of land, and the yield is as high as more than 6,000 catties!"
Yield of 6,000 catties!
Su Li also showed a happy smile. If the divine grace is used well in this world, this yield is slightly higher than the farmland irrigated with chemical fertilizers on Earth.
The yield per mu of early-maturing varieties of cabbage on Earth is between 3200 catties and 4800 catties.
The farmland of the Black Forest territory blessed by divine grace is nearly one-third higher than ordinary farmland!
Being able to have such a large yield is obviously not only because of ordinary high yield, but also related to some extremely large individuals inside.
When the serfs moved these cabbages out, Su Li saw that several of them had grown into giant cabbages.
Su Li remembered that the seeds he bought did not have this kind of valuable giant cabbage seeds. It can only be said that the divine grace made them mutate. One cabbage is as high as 100多斤(100多斤: more than 100 catties)! This is 20 catties heavier than the largest giant cabbage on Earth!
The key is that these cabbages can continue to grow. When their growing cycle is completely over, I am afraid they can grow to 150 catties or even 200 catties?
Sure enough, the productivity of the fantasy world still depends on these strange magical plants. Like giant cabbages and giant pumpkins, a few dozen can solve the territory's daily consumption.
Afterwards, Su Li personally walked to the carrot farmland and pulled out a huge carrot.
This carrot weighs at least two catties and is thicker than the arm of an eight-year-old boy.
Sure enough, big is beautiful.
Looking at such a stout carrot, Su Li couldn't help but smile. He washed it in the ditch next to him, and then he took a big bite and chewed it, his mouth full of the fragrant and sweet taste of carrots.
"The taste is very authentic!" Su Li swallowed and commented, then looked at the hundreds of acres of carrots in front of him and said: "Let the carrots continue to grow in the ground. It can be stored longer, let's eat cabbage first."
But by successively pulling out six or seven carrots, each of which was very thick, no less than one catty, it can basically be determined that this carrot farmland will also usher in a harvest.
With just carrots and cabbages, he will obtain a million catties of income!
So much food is enough for more than a thousand people to support for 4-5 months, and he has not yet counted the income from wheat and fishing and hunting.
Just roughly calculating, Su Li was full of expectations for the future, and said with a smile to the Chancellor of the Exchequer Laun: "As long as we can hold on until these foods are harvested, our territory can be expanded to 2000-3000 people!"
"If all the food is harvested, it will be enough for 3,000 people to support for three or four months."
Although three or four months is not much, in the unified dynasty, there is not even a year of savings, which means that there may be starvation everywhere at any time.
But in this remote territory of the Border Prince, it is already considered a harvest and stability.
This means that the Black Forest Territory can at least smoothly transition to the next cycle of harvest.
And how much grain can be produced in the next cycle mainly depends on the construction of Bjorn Bay.
After Su Li inspected the farm, he immediately took the ministers to the dam of Bjorn Bay.
At this time, the dwarves had inspected it several times back and forth. Kurgan proudly reported to Su Li: "Lord, the dwarves' engineering and masterpieces have always been synonymous with reliability."
"As I assured you a few days ago, there are no problems with the dam! Our flood control was a great success. The dam blocked the heavy rain on the highlands to the east."
最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发!
Su Li looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the dozens of li blue waves of Lake Levlin on the right side of the dam were rippling, the lake water was clear, and the sky and water were the same color, making it difficult to distinguish where the water was and where the sky was. Groups of waterbirds glided lightly on the water.
Looking at this beautiful scenery, Su Li's mood couldn't help but get better.
Successful flood control is undoubtedly a very fulfilling thing, but for a well-organized and thriving territory, successful disaster prevention is a matter of course! The entire territory has made every effort to prepare for disaster prevention. If problems occur, it should be held accountable instead.
It's just that compared to other territories with lower limits, the territory's successful flood control seems so different.
So Su Li solemnly said: "We must not be complacent because of a successful flood control. We must treat this kind of thing as normal in the future, and we must ensure the continuous effectiveness of the territory's water conservancy facilities, and never allow floods to flood."
Kurgan patted his chest and assured: "Lord, don't worry. The dwarves will build more water conservancy projects in your rich plain territory to ensure that your territory can prevent any disasters."
Su Li nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's the kind of determination I want. You must abandon the numb thinking of other territories in the past. I don't care what happens in other parts of the empire. At least in my territory, floods and droughts are never allowed to happen every year."
Chancellor of the Exchequer Laun also assured: "Lord, we will definitely build more water conservancy projects here to ensure that your wealth, Bjorn Bay, will not be lost."
Laun's guarantee reflects the huge difference in thinking between the two sides. What Su Li wants is the entire territory, the entire Black Forest Territory not to have disasters. Isn't disaster prevention a necessary thing?
But in the eyes of these ministers in this world, disaster prevention only refers to disaster prevention for the property of the rich and nobles, and floods are never allowed to spread to the farmland and manors of the nobles. They would not take a second look at the farmland of ordinary territory residents, even if it was right next to the dam, and it was even more impossible to send troops or construction teams to help the farmers prevent disasters.
Su Li was too lazy to correct their thoughts, because at present, building water conservancy for his Bjorn Bay is equivalent to building water conservancy for the entire territory. After all, the person with the most farmland now is his Lord.
Afterwards, Su Li walked to the side of the dam and looked at the vast Bjorn Bay below. Under the sunlight, most of the accumulated rainwater had flowed into the Black En Canal along the drainage ditch.
The Black En Canal is the large grain ditch dug by the ogres. It connects the Black Water River and the Brienne River in a northwest-southeast direction, which not only facilitates the water conservancy of the canal, but also benefits the farming career of Bjorn Bay.
After most of the accumulated water was discharged into the ditch and canal, the accumulated water on the ground was dried by the sun, and the reclamation of this Bjorn Bay could be put on the process.
Su Li asked Fandal: "My Minister of Agriculture, when do you think we can start the reclamation of Bjorn Bay?"
Fandal immediately answered fluently: "Lord, I have already gone down to investigate and excavate the soil everywhere today. According to the current dryness and humidity, we can send serfs to large-scale reclamation new land after the summer solstice to prepare for summer planting in advance."
"The plains under Bjorn Bay are vast, the land is fertile, and the water conservancy facilities are perfect. As long as the serfs work hard to reclamation, we can quickly obtain tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland and build several rich farmsteads!"
