Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

The sharp night wind blows through the long corridors of the castle. This winter is much colder than previous winters. Many overwintering crops can't bear it anymore, but it doesn't matter. Most of the overwintering crops are green manure, and it has grown for such a long time. It's working as it should.

Leonard stood on the tower overlooking his castle, and the cold wind blew through the high windows and whispered.White snow covered everything as far as the eye could see, and the torches on the walls flickered in the darkness, emitting bright light.

The maintenance of the castle was organized by Bachelor Rutherford. He built the castle to look like the castle in the fairy tale movie Leonard had seen in his previous life.

Standing on a high place at this moment is like standing on the edge of dreams and reality.

There is a large bonfire in the outer courtyard of the castle, and the sparks fly so high that it seems that they can float directly into the sky and become stars.

Leonard looked at the diamond-like stars in the sky, and was stunned for a while.

"My lord, do you need a pen and paper?" asked the new servant Ge Jier, "Do you want to write poetry?"

He knew that the aristocrats liked to write poetry when they were in the mood.

"Well, bring a pen and paper, I really have some inspiration." Leonard said.

Ge Jier immediately went to prepare the pen and paper diligently, and then saw Leonard write two names on it:

"Dengying beef, ants on the tree."

Leonard said to himself: "Looking at the moonlight in the sky and the stars as many as ants, I thought of these two dishes, try these two days..."

Ge Jier: "..."

His lord seems to be different from other lords.

After waking up the next day, Leonard drew a lottery as usual.

[Congratulations to the host for drawing 300 units of Cherry Valley Duck. 】

【Cherry Valley Duck is a descendant of Peking Duck. It is a world-renowned lean-meat duck with fast growth, high feed conversion rate and strong disease resistance. 】

The system also gave a brief introduction as usual.

It turned out to be Cherry Valley Duck!

Leonard immediately lifted his spirits, and put aside the matter of Dengying beef and ants climbing trees.

Cherry Valley Duck is delicious, and it's an improved version of Peking Duck - it's more greasy than it.Authentic Cherry Valley Duck is processed and the duck skin is shiny and firm, and the duck meat is tender and juicy. Because it has more lean meat, it tastes refreshing and not greasy. It is the best meat duck.

Leonard first temporarily put the Cherry Valley Ducks in the warehouse, and then thought about how to raise these Cherry Valley Ducks.

It would be too wasteful to raise them directly, so Leonard thought of the territory's usual three-dimensional breeding method - mixed breeding of fish and ducks.

The polyculture of fish and ducks has many advantages. First, the ducks can add oxygen to the fish pond by flopping around on the water; second, the duck feces and leftover bait can improve the nutritional environment in the fish pond. A small part of duck manure is organic The ingredients are eaten by fish, and most of them are decomposed by water, which can promote the growth of microorganisms; finally, ducks can also eat some creatures in the water that are harmful to fish, such as tadpoles, frogs, and insects in the water.

By the way, the pond silt where fish and ducks are mixed is extremely fertile and is a good fertilizer.

Just do it.

Leonard pulled Cai Lun, who was doing research in the workshop, out, and went to Huxin Town with him in a carriage.

Riding a horse is too cold now, much colder than riding a bicycle in winter.

Fish and duck polyculture needs to be carried out in places with good water quality and sufficient water sources, so the specific location is naturally Huxin Town, where there are abundant water resources to use.

In fact, Huxin Town has already dug a lot of ponds beside the ice lake to raise various fish. Some of the fish that Leonard had caught before were basically put in the fish ponds of Huxin Town.They can't all be thrown into the lake in Little Thorn Castle.

The current model of further development and construction of the territory is often like this. Leonard proposed some modern things, which inspired Cai Lun and the others, and then based on their existing experience and some points that Leonard came up with, they can basically put all kinds of Everything was done successfully.

On the way there, Cai Lun has basically figured out the pros and cons and precautions of mixed breeding of fish and ducks.

In modern times, the three-dimensional aquaculture model represented by the polyculture of fish and ducks, including rice field fish farming, once played an important role, but with the improvement of modern professional technology, three-dimensional aquaculture has been eliminated a lot, which is essentially The change from intensive small-scale farming in the past to large-scale and mechanized farming can be regarded as one of the trends in productivity development.

But for Leonard and the others, three-dimensional farming is still very suitable for the productivity at this time.

Get off the carriage, Leonard and Cai Lun took a walk outside Huxin Town.

"It's really cold this winter." Leonard put his hands in the pockets of his woolen coat. His cloak was decorated with a long sword composed of jasper and turquoise, which was a gift from his mother Klitschens.He had given up hanging all kinds of gemstones around his neck in winter, and those gemstones were terribly cold in winter. He would rather wear a scarf under the plaintive watch of the housekeeper than wear those 'status symbols'.

"It's really cold." Cai Lun said, "I have already inferred the temperature from the astronomical phenomena, so I built a lot of houses."

"Thank you, Jing Zhong." Leonard said sincerely: "If you hadn't built so many houses, more people would freeze to death outside now."

"This is my duty." Cai Lun said, "Actually, I feel colder in autumn than now. In autumn, I thought that the lord would come back before winter, so I kept repairing the house."

Leonard was taken aback.

"Then winter came, and it was as cold as expected, but it didn't seem as bad as expected." Cai Lun said, "Because the lord came back, he didn't feel the cold anymore."

"Ah, that's it." Leonard said.

He knew that Cai Lun was different from Gao Qiu. Cai Lun was a literati, so he must have said such things from the heart.

After talking about this, Cai Lun did not continue this topic, but talked about the location of the duck shed, as if he just mentioned it casually.

"In a place with a higher terrain, the drainage of the duck shed is better." Cai Lun said, "And there is plenty of sunlight. The lord's ducks must like this kind of place."

"What's called my duck...it sounds so strange." Leonard said, "I've lost all momentum."

"Okay," Cai Lun said, "Then the Lord's big duck."

Leonard: "..."

What kind of cold humor is this, people are freezing to death in the winter.

Cai Lun didn't realize that he froze Leonard, he continued: "Well...then plan this place as a fish pond, let's surround it with a net," he constructed a sketch in his mind, "The one surrounded by a net The section from the fish pond to the duck shed is the usual place for activities.”

"It seems to be good." Leonard said, "I hope the ducks can give birth to more. ... But it is better to expect them to give birth soon than to expect me to draw more."

"Letting them reproduce on their own is also a long-term thing." Cai Lun said, "Then the fish that are released should be mainly silver carp and bighead carp."

Both silver carp and bighead carp are filter-feeding fish, which are also called fat water fish. They mainly eat plankton and organic debris in the water, and they are suitable for polyculture with ducks.

The meat of silver carp is fresh and tender, which is very suitable for farming. It has high nutritional value, but not high in fat. It is a good news for foodies.The economic value of bighead carp is very high. The fish oil in the brain of bighead carp is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which is very beneficial to brain function. In addition, the meat under the gills of bighead carp is rich in collagen. Therefore, eating bighead carp often can improve IQ, enhance memory, and delay aging.

Thinking about it makes me feel good.

Then the two discussed some details. After the formal planning was completed, they could start digging the pond when the weather got warmer.

After the pond is dug, it must be disinfected first. The best way to disinfect the pond is to use tea meal. Tea meal has nothing to do with tea leaves. It is the product left after the camellia oil fruit is squeezed.

A few days ago, Leonard got Zhu Yuanzhang's cornered Camellia oleifera Forest, so he could use it immediately.

It feels good to have everything going smoothly.

……

Early winter, midwinter, late winter.

Ordinary nobles are idle in winter, but Leonard's territory is also busy in winter.

Not to mention the breeding industry, there are corresponding things throughout the year.In the past, poultry could not survive the winter due to climate and forage, so they were often killed after autumn, but this problem did not exist in Leonard's territory.

Farmers also have work to do in winter, such as planting overwintering green manure.

As mentioned before, green manure is to use green plants as fertilizer.Then green manure has two benefits, one is to increase soil fertility, and the other is that a lot of green manure itself can be eaten by livestock or even humans.Overwintering green manure is a plant that is sown in late autumn and early winter and can be used in spring and summer next year.

With so much arable land outside, even in winter, there is hardly any vacant land, which is used for various things.

The most common green manure is sweet potato, which is also called vetch, and another alias of "fat field grass" makes people know what it is for at a glance.

"The green-yellow-yellow-purple flowers of the succulent grass are planted in December, and the rice spreads and prospers. It can be used as a beautiful field, and the leaves are edible."

Potatoes have a long history as green manure, and their main function besides fertilizing the fields is as feed for livestock.The yield of sweet potato is very high. After being crushed, it can be directly used as a concentrate. It has rich nutritional value. Before feeding livestock, it needs to be soaked in warm water and then cooked. The civilians who work in the livestock pen are very familiar with sweet potato, and it is the most difficult to serve. Feed one.

Then there is Zi vetch, the sweet potato is found by Leonard in the forest, and Zi vetch is drawn from the system, so the quality of Zi vetch is exceptionally good.

Milk vetch is the main green manure in rice fields, and it has many functions: first of all, it can be used as medicine, and its main function in medicine is to replenish qi and strengthen essence.However, for people like Leonard who only think about the territory, its other functions, such as benefiting the liver and improving eyesight, seem to be more useful.

but.

"So does it really replenish qi and strengthen essence? Can I drink a little every night?" Leonard looked at Wang Jixian and couldn't help but ask.

Wang Jixian: "..."

Wang Jixian: "If you are interested in that aspect, I have a family heirloom, the Black Tiger Pill..."

Leonard: "Ahem, cough, no need."

Leonard thought to himself, why not let Wang Ji open a black tiger pill workshop first, produce a large amount of black tiger pills, and then sell them to nobles outside.

Let them have all kinds of joy and ignore business, so as to achieve the point of defeating others without fighting.

……

This strategy is too strange.

But everyone is happy in the end, cough.

Secondly, milk vetch is still a very important nectar source plant. Milk vetch honey is delicious. Milk vetch honey is also called safflower honey. This kind of honey has a fresh and natural grassy smell, which is sweet and not greasy. Regulate the digestive system, detoxify and so on.

Nowadays, there are more and more beekeepers in Leonard. Beekeepers are one of the most profitable professions in the entire territory. Although a lot of training is required, there are still many people who want to become beekeepers.

Large-scale planting of milk vetch is also a kind of support for the beekeeping industry.

Needless to say, the preparation of manure, now that there are public toilets, it seems to be easier to prepare manure.

It is also worth mentioning that there is an extra snail ash in the fertilizer this time. Burning all kinds of leftover shells into ashes and then fertilizing can slowly improve the acidic soil and improve the soil quality.

Red or yellow soils such as red soil, brick red soil, red soil, and yellow soil are all acidic soils.The soil in Leonard's territory is very acidic, and the snail ash is very mild, which is very helpful.

……

This winter has passed in a busy way, and spring is coming soon.

This year, a large area of ​​sugarcane has been newly planted. Sugarcane can be planted in two seasons, two crops a year in late winter, spring and autumn.

The oxen plowed the land with a curved shaft plow. This year, there were a lot of iron shafts on the territory. However, the cultivated land expanded and the number of farmers increased, so iron farm tools could not be further popularized.

Sugarcane has high requirements for plowing land. It is necessary to plow the land half a meter deep, completely break up the hard soil, and then level the land.

In winter, the production team leaders of farmers from all over the country received training, and then the production team leaders gave training to each farmer.Everyone plants in a unified manner, and there are requirements for sugarcane sprouts, planting density and row spacing.

Whether it is watering or fertilization, it is basically carried out uniformly, which can ensure that every household's farmer looks similar.

On weekdays, the withered and aging leaves of sugarcane should be removed in time, which can make the sugarcane sweeter and more delicious.

"There will be a bumper harvest of grain this year." Cai Lun said after coming back from the field all day long after not being busy with research these days.

"It's said every year." Leonard said: "It turns out that every year it's not enough."

"This year is really enough." Cai Lun shook his head, "A lot of cultivated land is planted with the seeds and seedlings you got from there, all of which are unprecedented varieties. The area of ​​cultivated land this year has expanded many times compared to previous years, and we no longer need to purchase The food is gone, and you can even sell a lot of it.”

Leonard thought for a while, "If I can sell food, I have a good idea."

"What idea?" Cai Lun asked.

"Let's talk about it after the harvest." Leonard said with a smile.

Looking at the topographic map in the study and the ever-expanding cultivated land, Leonard felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart.

Sure enough, farming is deeply buried in the bones and blood of every Chinese.

……

The climate is getting warmer soon, and it's time to start building.

Digging ponds for polyculture of fish and ducks.

Open up plantations and raise tea trees.

Open up new orchards and raise various fruit trees.

Poultry pastures are readily available.

Iron and steel smelting is non-stop around the clock and in all seasons.

The size of the fisherman has also been further expanded.

Everyone was arranged in an orderly manner, and everyone lived a life that was unimaginable before.

Because adults no longer have to worry about making a living, many children can go to school without having to help at home.

Leonard has kindergartens, elementary schools, and middle schools.Kindergarten is basically a place to look after children, and elementary school begins to teach reading and writing.Primary school teachers teach children during the day, and go to the secondary school teachers for further study at night.

Leonard set up a school bus for students, which can quickly travel to and from various towns.

The school bus is free.

The middle school is amazing, and the middle school teachers are number one in the territory.

However, the middle school does not enroll students now, because the school has just been established, so Cai Lun and the others are just putting up a name, and only the primary school teachers come to learn every day.

Maybe a technical school will be established directly in the future, but there are still too few talents.

The scope of rice planting has been further expanded. After two crops of rice are harvested, by the end of the year, people in the territory will be able to eat white rice.Of course, there must be people who like bread and steamed buns.

Leonard greeted Cai Lun, and asked Cai Lun to start researching and making rice processing utensils.

Cai Lun directly acted as the hands-off shopkeeper, and gave some blueprints to his disciples. Those disciples tapped and tapped by the river, and after a month, they built a lot of wooden tools.

Leonard went over and looked at it. The structure is complex and beautiful. The horizontal axis of the water wheel is very long, and four short pieces of wood are worn on it. These four pieces of wood are at right angles to the horizontal axis of the water wheel. The drums for pounding grain next to it are constantly beating back and forth with the water flow, rising and falling, full of rhythm, giving Leonard a sense of harmony between man and nature.

Good guy, it's dui.

The water pestle is a tool for automatically pounding rice, which uses the power of water flow.Shui Dui has a long history in China, and it was not until the end of the last century that it was completely withdrawn from the lives of farmers.

And after the water pestle has been improved, not only can it automatically pound rice, but any work that needs to be smashed can be done on it.

Leonard looked at the water hammer for a while, and thought, the steam hammer that appeared in Europe later, if you look for its predecessor, it is the continuous hammer in the water hammer. Now that the iron smelting technology has further improved, can we gradually try to enter the age of steam?

Leonard has no conclusions, but he plans to build it first and try it out, and wait until he encounters difficulties.

He went back to find Cai Lun, who was busy walking around.

"My lord, is there anything else?" Cai Lun asked, he seemed a little dissatisfied, he was really too busy, and Leonard was always looking for trouble for him.

Leonard scratched his head and said, "I think we can build a large-scale paper mill with a water pestle."

Cai Lun's expression brightened immediately: "My lord is planning to build a large paper mill?"

Well, brace yourself.

Cai Lun went arrogantly.

Leonard scratched his head, feeling that he was really squeezing Cai Lun too much.

Let Cai Lun briefly supervise, and leave this matter to others.

As for who to give it to, well...

"Fengxian, come and supervise the construction of a large paper mill."

Lu Bu: "..."

Only Fengxian hurt the world, reached.
