Chapter 498 Light Chapter 51.12-B: Small Farmland

·

The two of you continue to move towards the small farmland.

The flat and wide turning road soon connected to a wide dirt road in a fragmented and sloping way. Even the dirt road can be seen to be regularly maintained, relatively flat, and the ruts have traces of repeated filling.

Carriages kept coming one after another.

When you leave the main commercial road leading to the ancient city and turn onto a country road, the road conditions immediately deteriorate and there are few pedestrians. Two men carrying farm tools pass you by.

"Get out of the way!" The four guards galloped past you in the direction of returning to the city.

It's summer, and the fields outside the territory's city walls are full of heavy wheat ears, blowing in the wind like a golden ocean. Some fields have already been harvested, and wheat stalks are tied into small piles in the fields. There are no farmers working in the fields.

There weren't many, they were all bent over and busy in the fields.

Annette walked to a barley field and greeted the middle-aged man sitting on the edge of the field. The farmer raised his head and glanced at her, then stood up slowly while holding his knees.

"Hello, what's up?"

"We are from..." Annette was about to repeat the lines about disguised identity, but suddenly realized that the other party would not care, "We just came out of the town and wanted to inquire about something. The guard in the team looked in a hurry just now. What happened?

Is something wrong?"

The farmer took off his straw hat and fanned himself, with beads of sweat on his forehead: "There was a fire in the warehouse this morning. I heard that someone set the fire, which made the guards very nervous." Arson, kicking down the door, and paying off informants are three things. If you change

As a cruel lord, the guard captain may be dismissed from his post. This team of guards has just finished inspecting the dock.

“How are the crops?”

"I don't sell grain here. If you want to collect grain, you have to go to the market. Keep some for yourself, turn some over to the council, and sell the rest to the market according to the purchase contract." He regarded you as retail traders trying to collect grain at a low price.

"I see that some of the wheat has been harvested, and yours looks full. Is it because of a lack of manpower?"

"Manpower? Ha! No, no." The farmer laughed when he heard it. "The council promised to hire druids regularly to cast spells on crops, and they did come once. Maizi immediately became energetic. I don't know why, these days,

The sky should have come, but the druids only lasted half a round of casting spells in the second round and then disappeared. Most of those who cut the wheat had cast spells, and there were some whose families were in urgent need of money and couldn't wait. My family is still waiting.

There is a big difference between the crops that have been treated with the magic and those that have not been treated with the magic. I plan to wait." Increase the vitality of the land, accelerate plant growth, and make the plants healthier. These druids can do it.

Annette asked: "Not coming? Why?"

"I don't know." The farmer shrugged, "Those deep forest wild men can be hired to do work even if they are the lords here. I have never heard of the druids who take care of the crops in more than 40 years.

, probably because they gave up their choice. There are rumors in the town that the Council of Ministers has given priority to druids to build buildings. I heard that, but I'm not stupid. They only live in wooden houses and don't build brick houses. I don't believe it. "Build."

The building may refer to the Eco Tower.

“All barley?”

"Now, after mowing, we plan to plant pasture. In autumn, your field is classified as the third garden by the council. It needs to take turns and staggered with the neighbors." The farmer found that Annette did not understand the word "field" and explained, "

Are you not a grain merchant? Well, let me explain, and then you can go somewhere else."

"The council here implements the "four-field system", that is, two rounds of normal planting of barley, etc., the third round of planting grass, and the fourth round of planting peas, kidney beans, oats, etc. This allows the land to rest and maintain production. I don't have the spare money to buy from the market

Buy fertilizer mixed with chicken manure and bone meal. I don’t believe it is called fertilizer. My neighbor tried it and said it has little effect. In fact, as long as the druids can come here occasionally, it will be enough." Annette later said

We know that most of the surrounding areas have a two-bed system. This year, the odd-numbered fields will be planted with wheat and the even-numbered fields will be left idle. Next year, they will be switched and cultivated at intervals. Large areas will adopt a three-bed system.

The temperature near the territory is pleasant, while it is cooler inside the city wall. Although the fields outside the wall are hot, it is not as hot as the western border and Wuxiang Bay, which can kill people. Instead, it is just within the range required for crops and people will not suffer from heatstroke.

The farmer doesn't want to continue talking. What are you going to do?

A, two gold coins will make him change his mind.

B, giving him ten gold coins should help him know more.

C, leave and go to the quarry.
