Working Prophet

In addition to calling on his vassals to take the lead in adopting new agricultural tools and new farming methods.

Ilea also contacted dozens of blacksmith shops in Iron Horn City through the Golden Fleece Chamber of Commerce and ordered a large number of plowshares and earth dividers. Then she summoned all the carpenters in the territory to start making plow frames.

In this way, when the plow and soil divider are encountered in the green field, they can be assembled together with the wooden moldboard to form a plow. Later, wheels can be added to adjust the depth of plowing.

The planter Li Yu chose the columbine after repeated weighing.

The earliest origin of the columbine can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. It can not only dig ditches for sowing, but also cover soil and suppress it. It plays multiple roles and greatly improves the sowing efficiency. The most important thing is that after more than two thousand years, it has not been completely eliminated. , it is still used in some remote rural areas.

Of course it is incomparable to modern planter equipment, but it is better than not having to burn diesel or gasoline. For Li Yu, who can only bring diesel or gasoline from another universe, the columbine can be said to be the best choice.

And it is not difficult to manufacture. The main part is a wooden structure, and only the legs require plow blades. The blacksmiths of Luye are responsible for the construction of this part of the plow blades.

In addition, the long-handled scythe is only used during harvesting, so there is no rush. You can build it slowly later.

In short, Li Yu and Ilea used internal division of labor and parts procurement to try to make each craftsman only responsible for the production of one component, which greatly improved the manufacturing efficiency of new agricultural tools.

In this way, a sufficient number of new farm tools can be crafted before spring plowing arrives.

At the same time, the female lord also issued several decrees one after another to encourage everyone to reclaim wasteland through rent reduction and tax deduction.

According to Li Yu's preliminary estimate, the new farm tools can increase farming efficiency by two to three times. Taking into account the shift from the two-field system to the four-field rotation, the workload has also doubled. In other words, each farmer can actually use The cultivated area will be expanded by at least half.

The nobles in the Western Region lacked everything except land.

Of course, the Arias family is no exception, so Miss Rabbit is also very concerned about this matter. Even if the rent decreases, as long as the number of farmland is increasing, her total income will also increase.

However, with the popularization of new agricultural tools and the increase in cultivated area, the previous land layout of strip fields has obviously become inappropriate.

The shape of traditional farmland on the Bratis continent is similar to that of medieval Europe. They are all long strips, and a family often owns several pieces of land scattered throughout the village.

In the eyes of Chinese descendants, the distribution and shape of this kind of fields is undoubtedly very strange, but behind this is actually a gap in production tools.

The continent of Bratis and medieval Europe used heavy plows, which required 4 to 8 oxen to pull, and were very difficult to turn. Farmers could only keep the oxen moving forward until they could no longer move. , then change places and continue plowing.

However, after switching to light-weight plows, one or two oxen can pull them, and turning is not so difficult. In addition, with the increase in cultivated area, there is no need to use scattered strips of land to cultivate, and people have to move around. Ran.

So Ilea had to ask her administrative officials to go to the villages to redistribute the land.

After a month of struggling like this, all the grassroots officials were exhausted. Moreover, various conflicts would inevitably arise during the redivision of land. Some people felt that their newly acquired land was not as fertile as before, while others felt that the land they had newly acquired was not as fertile as before. I feel like I am getting far away from where I live...

Of course, the most important thing is that after the shape of farmland changes, many people no longer know how to farm.

Fortunately, the monks from Shuangxiujiu showed up in time, and even Li Yu himself came forward in person to demonstrate the use of various new farm tools.

For this reason, he specially went to the rural areas in the suburbs on Saturday to ask local farmers, especially the elderly, for advice on farming methods.

And his efforts were not in vain.

Seeing the prophet rolling up his trouser legs and working hard in the mud, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the believers disappeared a lot and they began to study seriously.

After the demonstration, Li Yu asked the farmers below to come up one by one to try it out, while he corrected it. He stayed busy until the sun went down, and then Li Yu went back to Teacup Castle to eat something, and chatted with Ilea about government affairs for a while.

The main thing is to ask Ilea to borrow a few officials who know the law to popularize the law in Shuangxiujiao's territory.

Li Yu did not intend to let Shuangxiujiao establish its own law. Although this was tempting, it went against his original intention of returning the secular to the secular and the church to the church.

He established the tribunal not to deal with ordinary crimes, but as a self-examination agency within the church, responsible for supervising members of other organizations.

Although it was confirmed that the previous incident of the two knights violating and murdering the peasant girl was framed by the Silver Moon Church, Li Yu was still wary of such things happening.

Especially with the continuous development and expansion of Shuangxiu Education, the power in the hands of some people will inevitably expand. Li Yu needs a department to supervise and restrict those people in a timely manner.

As for daily public security management, it is still implemented in accordance with the laws on the Bratis continent. Regardless of monks or believers, any crime committed will be punished normally, and no one will be made special.

…………

This is probably the busiest period since Li Yu came to Luye. He had never been so tired before from slaying a dragon or dealing with the Silver Moon Church. He had blisters on his hands and feet, and there were blisters on his shirt when he got off work. It's all sweat stains.

However, he still went to the industrial park and took another look. Zhang Yanlin sent him the design drawings and renderings four days ago.

Li Yu saw that there were no problems, so Zhang Yanlin contacted the construction team to start work.

Since it was already after get off work time, Li Yu didn't contact her, so he just passed by.

Unexpectedly, when I entered, I found that construction was still going on inside, and Zhang Yanlin had not left, supervising the workers.

After seeing Li Yu, Zhang Yanlin was also startled, "You have turned black. I haven't seen you in the past few days. Did you go to the beach?"

"No, I work as a farmer." Li Yu took off his [Game Sunglasses].

As soon as this ghost thing saw Zhang Yanlin, he started to flash around, and even popped up a window enthusiastically, saying that he had encountered a target that could be captured.

"…………"

"Boss, you know how to farm, don't be kidding me, aren't you like me and grew up in the city?" Zhang Yanlin opened his eyes wide.

"I have no choice but to learn now."

"As expected of my boss, the jokes he tells are all very cold." Zhang Yanlin said with a smile.

"I didn't tell a joke." Li Yu said, "Also, why haven't you left yet? Our company always gets off work on time."

"Well, I just came here and wanted to show my positive performance." Zhang Yanlin said, "You don't have to take care of me specifically. This will put pressure on me."
