"Don't let the existence of 'Fighting Qi' leak out!"

As a cultivated nobleman, Sir Eckert is very aware of the value of the extraordinary system of 'fighting energy'. In this era, such an unheard of extraordinary power can greatly increase the heritage of a family.

So after being surprised, the first thing Eckert thought of was to tell his son and adopted son not to reveal the existence of Dou Qi to others.

Both Kai and Arthur agreed.

…

Time passes slowly, and Arthur's childhood and teenage growth experience can be said to be calm and without any twists and turns.

During the day, Ector would teach Arthur court etiquette and swordsmanship. At night, Merlin would also teach him in his dreams how to become a qualified king.

It can be said that no matter day or night, Arthur is busy studying.

According to ordinary people, such heavy study pressure may have overwhelmed people, but Arthur was happy with it. Because this is an opportunity to integrate into the times. After all, this is ancient times far away from modern times.

If you cannot integrate into this era and seem out of place with others, you will become an alien.

It was through the education of Ector and Merlin that Arthur had a rough understanding of this era.

In this era, as a noble, you also need to know something about farm work. A noble who doesn't understand farm work is definitely not a qualified noble.

This is very different from the nobility that Arthur knew about in his previous life. He originally thought that the nobility did not need to understand these things, and only needed to enjoy themselves every day. Unexpectedly, in Britain in the fifth century AD, all aristocrats had to accept agriculture.

educate.

However, after understanding the reason, Arthur understood why he should receive this kind of education.

In this era, most nobles generally had their own fiefs. The people who managed the fiefs were not the stewards of the noble families, but the nobles themselves.

This is also a matter of course. Fiefdom is the foundation of the nobility and a major source of income for the nobility. If an heir of a nobility does not know what farm work is done, it is easy for his subordinates to gang up and deceive him, which will harm the nobility.

Interests.

Therefore, for a noble family, you do not have to do farm work, but you must know all the processes of doing farm work, so that you can know your fiefdom well.

Sir Eckert is like this. Even Eckert has to work in the fields when needed. Although the Eckert family does not pursue luxury excessively, they never skimp on the noble etiquette and status-defining arrangements.

.

However, when he really came into contact with the farm work education of aristocratic families, Arthur discovered that the farm work of this era was actually so rough.

Don’t know how to use fertilizers, don’t know how to cultivate intensively...

The so-called agricultural production here in Britain is to set a fire in the field to burn all the weeds in the field, then dig a hole in the field, sprinkle the seeds and bury them in the soil, and then wait for them to sprout, grow and mature.

Just harvest.

Fortunately, it was the Age of Gods, and the air was filled with true ether. Even with such a rough agricultural method, enough food could be harvested.

However, now with the decline of the Age of Gods, if we continue to use this rough planting method, food production will not be able to keep up with the gradually declining True Ether.

Faced with such a problem, Arthur's first consideration was how to ensure food production: "No, this agricultural production method must be changed! Even if the Age of Gods continues to decline, crops will begin to fail in this changing environment. But this way

The agricultural production method is too backward!"

Arthur first thought of improving farm tools.

In the previous world, as the god who was in charge of the concept of "civilization", it could be said that he controlled the civilization information of the entire universe. And the data accumulated from the development of these civilizations were stored in the system.

With such a big killer in hand, if it fails to develop, it will be really embarrassing.

From the vast amount of civilized information, Arthur found various agricultural production tools. Combined with the characteristics of this world, after some modifications, he finally came up with a farming rack that was both light and labor-saving.

Just put it around the neck of the livestock, and the land can be plowed quickly.

Of course, if there is no animal power, farming can also be done using human power.

Arthur took the parchment depicting the farming frame and found his adoptive father Ector. Ector got the drawing drawn by Arthur and looked at the things on it, but he couldn't understand it for a long time.

"What is this thing?" I couldn't understand it at all. In the end, Eckert had to ask his adopted son what the use of this thing was.

Arthur also knew that there was no concept of cultivated land in the West in this era, so he explained it to his adoptive father in detail using the meaning he could explain.

"You mean, this thing can be used to break through the hardened soil and cut off the roots of weeds and grass underground so that those weeds will not affect the growth of food?"

Eckert looked at the parchment in his hand, his expression full of confusion.

Arthur knew what his adoptive father was hesitating about, and immediately said: "Father, you should know that Teacher Merlin has clairvoyance. I got it from the teacher. In that extremely distant eastern country, which is a country rich in silk, they are like this.

They grow food, so their population is many times more powerful than our country!"

Hearing what Arthur said, Ector immediately believed it.

Although the Silk Road has been discontinued for many years, Eckert still heard about the powerful country called "Great Qin".

Since the blueprints Arthur got were for that country's farming tools, what did it matter if he gave them a try?

Eckert found a carpenter and a blacksmith and built such a farming tool. After getting the tool, Eckert took Kay and Arthur to try it out.

Sure enough, with this tool, it is very easy and convenient to turn up the soil. This tool can not only turn up the soil and break the soil into fine pieces, but also cut the grass roots in the soil and turn over the weeds in the soil.

Buried in the ground.

After trying it out for a while, Eckert immediately made the decision: "Since this thing is so convenient, I might as well use this thing to plow all the land during spring planting!"

As a result, a strange scene appeared on the Eckert family's land: several slaves were walking back and forth in the field holding on to a strange frame.

Someone curiously took a closer look, and when they found out that this shelf was only used for turning soil, they quickly laughed: "These people are really stupid, wouldn't it be troublesome to use this thing to turn over the soil?" They also said

I have never seen farming like this before!

However, what happened next made those bystanders even more surprised and disgusted.

These slaves carried buckets of foul-smelling dung and spread it little by little on the fields. The stench that spread with the wind immediately made the onlookers no longer in the mood to watch.

Faced with this unusual approach, Eckert actually had no idea.

After all, using manure to irrigate the fields is really disgusting. You must know that it is to produce food that you eat. If Arthur hadn't convinced him, Eckert would never have adopted such a method.

However, Eckert underestimated the impact of his actions. Because of this incident, he was ridiculed by other nobles and was even given the disgusting nickname of 'Sir Shit-Piss'.

Because Sir Ector asked his servants to go to the city to collect people's unwanted excrement and urine, many nobles thought that Ector was crazy to do such a disgusting move.

Fortunately, Ector withstood the pressure and insisted on implementing the suggestions given by Arthur.

In the autumn of this year, there was an unprecedented harvest, which made Eckert smile from ear to ear every day: "Arthur's method is indeed wonderful. This year's harvest is more than in previous years. I have never seen anything like this."

The harvest scene!”

The grain output of all the land under Eckert's name has doubled, and some high-quality fertile fields have even tripled.

You know, since the decline of the Age of Gods, the output of the fields has begun to gradually decrease. Although the common people don't know, Ector, as a noble, naturally knows something about the situation.

Eckert had already concluded that food shortages were an inevitable result of the environment.

But he never imagined that even if the environment did not allow it, manpower could be used to make up for it and smooth out the consequences of environmental degradation.

On the other side, when the nobles around them learned about the output of the Eckert family's fields, they all fell silent.

They never imagined that Eckert's puzzling actions would actually create such an unprecedented harvest.

When these nobles gathered, someone suggested: "Should we also learn from Eckert's approach?"

Although Eckert's actions made them feel disgusted, in this era, everything is empty, and only the food in their hands is their confidence.
