In the blacksmith shop, people started working overtime again.
Fortunately, the original sickles only needed to be modified and would not be wasted. There were more than 4,000 people in the territory. In addition to the threshing, carrying straw, and cooking for everyone, there were only a little over 3,000 people responsible for harvesting with sickles.
In fact, there was no need to modify more than 3,000 people.
With that time, the wheat could have been harvested using traditional methods.
Richard gave them the task of 100 sickles.
At a normal speed, one person can harvest one acre of wheat a day. If you work harder, you can finish it in half a day.
Richard's workers worked at a speed of two acres a day, 40,000 acres and 4,000 people, 10 acres per person, and it would be done within five days. With this tool, the speed can be increased by at least ten times. 100 tools are equivalent to turning these 100 people into 1,000 people.
These 100 tools were made in one day, and every few tools made would be immediately delivered to the wheat field.
In this way, everyone only took two and a half days to harvest all the wheat!
Looking at the wheat covering the threshing floor, everyone was very excited.
Everyone changed their tools, stood on the field with"linking racks" to beat the wheat and knock the wheat off the straw.
With the external force beating, the wheat grains on the ears fell off.
During this process, some areas were moving fast, and they had already started to pull out livestock to let them pull the small stone rollers for dozens of times.
As for the slower areas, they were still threshing.
Threshing is to use a larger stone roller to run in the field over and over again until a large piece of soft land is crushed into a hard soil square.
Only after the threshing floor was established, the follow-up work officially began.
After all the wheat was successfully threshed, everyone used a long fork to insert the threshed straw to the side and stack it up, and then began to winnow the wheat with a wooden shovel, also called winnowing.
Because there are still a lot of wheat awns, wheat straw fragments and other debris in the threshed wheat, they need to be dealt with.
Richard saw that the wind was not strong enough at this time, so he opened the system panel, found the wind speed option 24 in the weather adjustment, and directly adjusted the wind speed to level five.
The efficiency of winnowing came out instantly.
The weather was also slightly adjusted and became cloudy.
After the sunlight was blocked, coupled with the strong wind blowing from the mountains, everyone felt very cool.
Richard was not sorry for the people. The scorching sun would eliminate the moisture in everyone's body through sweat. In this way, they would need to replenish water frequently, which was not conducive to the work progress.
After another two days of winnowing, all the golden wheat grains were threshed clean and piled on the field, as if as high as a mountain.
When they were working before, no one had the energy to appreciate it. Now that the threshing was completely completed, everyone looked at the scene in front of them. The shock was indescribable.
"There is more food than we can eat in a lifetime. It’s such a huge mountain of food. I still can’t believe it’s real!"
"The Lord is our God! If all the food in the world can be grown like this, there will be free food warehouses everywhere in the world!"
"You're overthinking it. Only our lord has this ability. This is truly a miracle!"
"In the past, we often had to go to the forest to find food to supplement the food shortage in our territory. From now on, we will finally not be short of food!"
"Great, we can eat refined noodles every day and never finish them! There is really too much food!"
"No need to worry about not having enough food anymore!"
The people in the territory could not help but sigh with emotion.
They had taken care of this wheat field for several months, watched it for several months, and were shocked for several months. Now that they saw the results, they were still shocked and looked unbelievable.
The shock of the slaves was even greater than theirs!
"Our master is really incredible. I didn’t expect that I would make a profit by reselling it here this time!"
"Miracle! This is definitely a miracle! I used to be a slave of a large estate owner. I was sold out because I made a mistake. At that time, I heard them talk about all kinds of miracles, but I think that even the Hanging Gardens cannot compare to the master's mountain of food!"
"My father was a great lord before, but his whole family was killed and I became a slave. At that time, I saw warehouses full of corn, barley that could not be stored in the warehouse, and potatoes piled up like mountains. But compared with the master's wheat mountain, what I saw before was not even a mountain, it was not even a small mound of earth!"
"The master has enough food and we don’t have to worry about starving. It’s really great!"
"But can we eat these grains? The master just said that we would be rewarded with whole wheat bread."
"No matter what, before we didn’t have these grains, the master let us eat every day. Now that we have grains, we don’t have to worry about having nothing to eat!"
The slaves were also very excited.
Richard was also watching this scene. It was rare for him not to urge these people to work immediately.
Give them time to rest their bodies, and at the same time let them see the great achievements they have made under his leadership.
【From poverty to abundance, you led your people through the food crisis. Your achievements will be praised by the world for thousands of generations!】
【Now your warehouse is full of food, your territory is peaceful, and you are supported by your people. Congratulations on receiving a new reward: Horn of Plenty!
When the music sounded and the system prompt sounded, Richard knew that something good was going to happen. When he heard the reward, he couldn't help but raise his mouth.
【Horn of Plenty: Blowing it will increase your crop yield by 10%!】
Richard raised his eyebrows and smiled even more.
Although the 10% increase in production could not be compared with the previous destiny attribute, it was a good thing to get for free!
After all, there was no conflict between the two!
It was so cool!
With so many production increase BUFF bonuses, plus the authority to adjust the weather, he probably would never have to worry about food in the future.
Richard waited for those people to stop being surprised, and walked over with a few servants.
"Come back to your senses!"
He clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
At this moment, after everyone saw Richard, they immediately showed infinite respect in their eyes and bowed to him.
Richard waved his hand and said:
"Everyone, it's not time to relax yet. Have you seen those straws? Go and sort out the relatively intact ones. These can be used to make beds for you!"After hearing this, everyone immediately jumped up and cheered:
"Long live the Lord! Long live the Lord!"
They never expected that the Lord would actually consider their sleeping problem.
This straw bed is a good thing. It can keep warm in winter and be breathable in summer.
It can be said to be a very good treasure.
When Richard was a child in his previous life, he saw his grandfather using this as a mattress. It can be said that he grew up sleeping on it.
It is much more practical than the mattresses he saw when he grew up.
"Before that, go get some water from the water tank at the end of the field. I don't want to see you faint in my field! After drinking the water, come over to work immediately!"There is a water tank at the end of the field, which is where Richard had someone get the water from the water tower.
As for the animals, it is even more convenient to drink water. There are small petrified canals next to the fields. When the animals are thirsty, they can go directly to drink.
At this time, Richard suddenly saw Ali standing aside, so he said:
"Remember, after all the straw for making the bed is taken, leave a small portion of the remaining straw and have them tie it up with hemp ropes and soak it in water. After soaking for half a day, chop it all into one-foot long pieces and feed it to my livestock as roughage."
"Yes!"
Even if we remove the straw stacks used for making beds and feeding livestock, the remaining straw stacks are still several mountains.
Richard said:
"All the unused straw should be piled up in uncultivated areas to avoid occupying arable land, and can be used for cooking.
The ashes from the burnt straw should be saved and used as fertilizer when spread on the ground.
After all the straw is cleared from the field, the remaining wheat stubble in the field can be burned. This will not only increase the ash fertilizer, but also kill a lot of insect eggs. Tell me when you light the fire, and I will change the wind direction!"
Ali nodded vigorously after listening to Richard's words. He confirmed in his heart that the wind during the winnowing was indeed set by the lord.
The lord did not publicize it himself, but Ali would not miss the opportunity to increase the glory of the lord, so he quickly spread the news.
For a moment, everyone was amazed again.
The slaves who had never seen Richard's magical powers were also shocked. They were a little skeptical at first, but when they thought of the magic of the unicorn and that their master was also the master of the unicorn, they believed in Richard's ability. As for the master's identity as a god incarnate,���
At this moment, a slave suddenly came to Richard and knelt down in front of him, holding a rolled-up straw product.
"What do you want to do?"
Richard asked.
He was curious when he saw this slave, who was Sim Asimu, who had invented the quick harvesting method. Asimu knelt on the ground and spread out what he was holding. It looked like a mattress made of straw and hemp rope.
The workmanship was quite good.
"Master, this is what the servant has just made. I just don't know how big a bed you need. If you like it, the servant is willing to make a mattress for you according to the size!"Asimu said, lying on the ground. Richard looked at the thing in front of him and suddenly remembered the mattress he had when he was a child in his previous life.
1 The workmanship of this one is naturally not as good as the one made by his grandfather.
On the one hand, there are some differences in the craftsmanship and the methods.
On the other hand, there are not enough tools, and the one made is not tight enough. If you don't sleep for too long, it will become loose.
But Richard was also very pleased with the other party's flexible mind and asked:
"What did you do before?"
Asimu answered respectfully:
"I used to be a villager in a village on the outskirts of the royal city. I usually liked to make some handicrafts and sell them in the city, but I couldn't make much money. Later, when my family was starving, I sold myself to the owner of the manor."
Richard nodded:
"You are very smart. I promised to let you stay in the castle and not go back to the mine because of your cleverness. (To read the novels of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Perhaps, you can make more good things for me in the future, but before that, you still need to learn a lot of things, including various knowledge and the application of various tools.
You can keep this mattress for yourself, and I will teach you a better way later!"
Hearing this, Asimu realized that he was just showing off his skills in front of an expert.
But think about it, after all, his master is a god-like figure, and it is not easy for him to attract the master's attention with the method of cutting 120 wheat. It is not so easy to get the master's reward again with other things.
He kowtowed and said:
"Thank you for your teachings, Asimu will definitely study hard and do more for you."
"Asimu!"
"The servants are here!"
"Remember, I hope you can always use your intelligence in the right way. Don't let me see your cleverness!" Richard reminded him.
Asimu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly fell to the ground, trembling all over.
"Asimu doesn't dare!"
"Okay, get up and do something!"
"Yes!"
Richard immediately looked away and looked at Ali who had just walked over:
"For the wheat that is drying, people should step on it every hour to make circular patterns, so that it can be dried more thoroughly!"
At this time, the white clouds in the sky had been removed by Richard, and the sun was basking the wheat on the ground.
Generally speaking, wheat fields need to prepare things to cover them in case of rain, but Richard doesn't need it.
Controlling the weather means controlling the absolute safety of food.
The weather forecast in the previous life brought a lot of hidden help to the farmers' income, not to mention Richard's ability to control the weather.
In the area with good weather and good harvest, they are all brothers in front of Richard, who is in absolute control.[]
This feeling of ignoring the environment and climate and adjusting it freely is incomparable to anything else.
Castles and settlements adjust the temperature to a suitable level, while the temperature difference between day and night increases in the wild.
In other words, from now on, even the fruits grown in the forest of Long Eagle Territory will be sweeter than those outside.
There is no way, the adjustment of the temperature difference between day and night has really turned this place into a fairyland.
【WARNING! WARNING!】
【There is theft among your people, please check the details and deal with it yourself! 】
After receiving the prompt, Richard was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the interface.
In the picture, a wretched man was taking advantage of others not paying attention to put some food in his pocket. After a few days, he took a lot of food home after carrying it again and again.
When Richard saw this man's name, he raised his eyebrows.
He has been paying attention to this man for a long time.
He has not worked very hard these days. Although he dare not be too lazy, it is very obvious compared with others.
And in places where others can't see, once this man finds an opportunity, he will sit down and rest as soon as possible.
It can be said that he wants to mix the house rewards with everyone, but he doesn't want to work too hard.
Richard originally planned to deal with him afterwards, but he didn't expect that he would steal now.
Very good!
This time the reason is more sufficient!.
