Chapter 58 Spring Plowing (Please recommend! Please follow up on reading!)

Since ancient times, food has been a top priority related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

This is no exception in Idar Territory.

Every spring, both civilians and serfs will work hard!

Regarding the land cultivated by serfs, the Norman Empire generally implemented a 20/80 split model, that is, the serfs had to hand over 80% of the harvest to the nobles who owned the land, while they could only keep 20% of the grain.

Although Bruno was very happy when he released the serfs before, Bruno has no intention of changing this in the short term.

Because he wants the serfs to see how big the gap is between their own lives and that of civilians!

Serfs were required to hand over 80% of their harvest, while commoners were required to pay much less rent.

In Bruno's view, the gap will generate motivation. Only when the serfs clearly realize how superior the life of the common people is (only compared to the serfs), will they work hard when building wonders. , in order to squeeze out more surplus value and speed up the construction progress of the wonder.

Bruno is mainly worried that if he improves the living standards and quality of life of the serfs in a moment of kindness, it will weaken the appeal of being released as civilians...

Therefore, this is not his own evil heart...

This is all the fault of the wonder construction system!

If it weren't for the system, would Bruno be wasting time and money building wonders?

of course not!

This is all because the system’s rewards are too tempting! Nothing wrong!

However, for the serfs, 20% of the grain was definitely not enough.

Therefore, Bruno will also give certain compensation to the serfs in other aspects. For example, he can slightly increase the wages of working hours and create more jobs...

After all, the paper making workshop and the liquor workshop are currently under intense preparation and are still very short of manpower, and the production teams building roads and spectacles are also willing to come.

Therefore, as long as the serfs have some free time after the spring plowing, they can earn more money by working to meet their daily needs.

Moreover, Bruno has set up a new department to distribute relief. If there are serfs who really can't survive, a small amount of food will be distributed in a fixed amount, at least they will not really starve to death...

However, at the same time, Idar Territory also introduced a new policy mainly targeting civilians.

That is...in addition to purchasing food from Bruno with copper plates, civilians and serfs can also exchange grown staple foods with Bruno for sea fish, seaweed and other food in kind.

Moreover, the Idar Territory no longer allows private grain transactions. If civilians have excess grain, they need to sell it to the lord at the market price.

If the market price is too low, the transaction will be carried out based on the lowest purchase price proposed by the lord.

All private sales and transactions of grain will be severely punished by the Idar Territory.

Bruno did this because he felt that only by holding food in his own hands could he play more roles.

Whether it is used for brewing wine or serving as military ration, it is of great significance.

Furthermore, with the existence of the wonder construction system, it is estimated that large-scale projects in the Idar Territory will come one after another. If there is not enough food reserves, Bruno will definitely be panicked.

Bruno has been preparing for this spring plowing for a long time.

Therefore, on the day when large-scale sowing in Idarland officially began, Bruno led Lister, Old Ford and others to the fields in person.

This year's spring plowing is very different from the past, and it is completely different.

One is the improvement of farming equipment.

While he was busy building the Hanging Garden in the winter, Bruno had already ordered the carpenters to make the curved shaft plow and barrel cart.

Fortunately, Bruno had a good memory and clearly remembered the images of the curved shaft plow and the barrel cart in the high school history textbook. Otherwise, if purchased separately in the system store, these two items would have required fifteen Brilliance Points.

However, memory is just memory after all. After a winter of exploration, the carpenters finally made the curved shaft plow a few days ago.

The design of the curved shaft plow is actually not very complicated. It changes the straight shaft and long shaft into curved shaft and short shaft, and installs a freely rotating plow disc on the shaft head. This not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also makes the plow frame smaller and lighter. It is also easy to turn around and operate flexibly, saving manpower and livestock.

In comparison, drum trucks are much simpler. As early as winter, drum trucks have been installed in many canals used for irrigation in Idar.

The drum truck mainly uses the turbulent water flow to turn the wheels, so that the water drums mounted on the wheels can automatically pour water and be lifted ashore for irrigation.

For these two farming artifacts, these mud-legged people who deal with the fields all day long have never seen them before, and they were dumbfounded for a while.

He stared blankly at the cart spinning in circles, diverting water from the river to the ditches in the fields.

Although the Qu Yuan Li looks strange and has not been used yet, it should not be ordinary.

After all, this was made under the orders of his master.

As for the second difference, it is the seeds of crops.

In the past, everyone cultivated staple foods such as wheat and barley. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net But this year’s spring plowing also includes crop seeds included in Bruno’s novice gift package!

Although the number is not very large, it is still quite a lot!

Potato!

corn!

sweet potato!

These three things, even if you pick any one of them, it was a famous food in the previous life! It can be called a must-have farming tool for time travellers!

Potatoes can be used as a vegetable or as a staple food!

Thinking back on his previous life, whether it was a formal meal like beef and potatoes or fried foods like French fries and potato chips, Bruno couldn't stop coming back.

For Bruno, potatoes can be regarded as his favorite food. There are many ways to prepare them and the taste is unparalleled!

Corn and sweet potatoes are naturally excellent foods.

Take sweet potatoes as an example. The yield per acre is high and you don’t have to pick the land. Every part of your body is full of treasures!

Sweet potato leaves can be fried and eaten, and sweet potato roots are a traditional Chinese medicine that can clear away heat and detoxify.

As for the sweet potatoes themselves, they are extremely durable and can be eaten just by roasting them over fire. They are also very filling!

It can also be used to make porridge.

Besides, although Bruno has never been interested in dried sweet potatoes, some people like to eat them!

Cut sweet potatoes into strips and turn them into dried sweet potatoes after being exposed to the sun. If stored properly, they will not go bad for a long time!

There is no shortage of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes. In Bruno's opinion, this can already be called a dream start!

Let me touch on the currency issue first, because everyone’s opinions are somewhat different, and we will adjust it as soon as possible and provide explanations.
