The host is a slime [Quick Transmigration]

Frederic cannot be blamed for thinking that good seed will lead to a good harvest, and in this territory—at least in the land under Frederick—the seed-to-reap ratio was about 1 to 3.

To be more straightforward, take the staple food wheat as an example. Only when [-] catties of wheat are planted in the soil will there be [-] catties of wheat harvested.

So farmers have to plant many, many fields in order to feed themselves with crops.

And many, many fields naturally need many, many seeds.

But now if we can screen out seeds that can basically germinate and grow, it means that farmers can plant a lot less fields but still get the same crop yield.

Not only is there less farmland for farmers to take care of from dawn to dusk, but the land that was wasted by seeds that could not germinate can also be used for other purposes.

Therefore, Fidel felt that being able to screen out vigorous seeds and increase the germination rate would allow the people in the territory to have a bumper harvest.

But in fact, in Ohm's view, the little lord is too naive.

If the crops can be so simple and abundant, the world will not starve to death due to lack of food until the interstellar age.

Increasing production is not easy.

Ohm has discovered that the overall productivity of the world is relatively backward, and most people prefer to harvest directly from nature, so this also leads to a single diet and a particularly large gap between the rich and poor of the entire country—— Because places with rich products and sufficient food can naturally feed more people and attract more talents, but compared with more remote places, they cannot provide too many products, which will also lead to population loss and become poorer and poorer.

It's not that farmers don't work hard. Of course, the selection of seeds is an important reason. Another reason is that the production technology is too backward-the problem of labor is one aspect, but agricultural technology cannot be ignored.Otherwise, it is the same as Guan Sheng regardless of raising, how can it be successful without attention and careful care during the growth process.

However, because of the existence of supernatural power in this world, ordinary people have been completely "brainwashed" by the nobles in power. They feel that as long as they listen to the words of the nobles, the nobles have asked the priests to pray for their cultivation. , completely relieved.

For example, this time of sowing, from the lord to the farmer, all eagerly waited for the priest to finish praying, and then excitedly took their own share of seeds and planted them.

Farming, isn’t it just having a field and planting the seeds?

At most, weeding and catching insects.

What?You said fertilization, irrigation, water conservancy facilities?

Isn't that a divine thing?

If the harvest is not good, it is because they have displeased the gods, it is their own fault, and they deserve it.

In fact, they can’t be blamed for their ignorance. In other territories, because the geographical location is better, compared with richer people, they attract more talented people, especially the level of mages and priests is relatively high. When encountering problems in the planting process—— For example, drought, such as insect plagues, you can ask them to use spells and prayers to eliminate insects or rain to solve them.

But the territory of Feitely, the territory under the jurisdiction of Feitely, is famous all over Alfred, even in other human or non-human countries.

Originally, the lords were all poor, so how could they pay enough to invite those mages or priests to solve various problems in the farming process for them?

Although there is no reason for the nobles to oppress the common people, these people with magical powers have a high status, and even the nobles are polite when they see them. How dare they really let them pay for nothing.

It is this kind of vicious circle that the poorer you are, the less you can attract people, and the poorer you are, the poorer you are. The farmers in this territory are working all year round, plowing the fields, planting beans, herding sheep, and herding cattle. I have been working non-stop in all seasons, but I still don't have enough to eat and wear warm.

The grain yield per mu under the rule of other lords can be about [-] catties, but here, if the grain yield per mu is [-] catties, they will celebrate the harvest with drums and gongs.

Ohm looked at the silly and sweet Feitelie, and felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy and there was a long way to go-it seems that he can't just be a cook!

Jack is an ordinary farmer in the territory. Because he has no property and no way of life, his main source of income is farming.

Like other farmers, his family's fields were obtained through the development and exchange of their ancestors, so they are not gathered together, but scattered everywhere, some here and some there.

In order to ensure that every field can be taken care of, he basically goes out to work before dawn and returns home after dark.

Even so, after a year of hard work, even if he planted wheat and beans, the bread made from the wheat would not be eaten once a year. He still lived on beans on weekdays, and he absolutely didn't want to think about meat.

His wife, Leah, earns a small amount of money by doing laundry and mending for others. After all, there are two boys and one girl to support in his family, and the family of five lives very hard.

Yesterday the village head went to the lord's castle to gather, and then the distributed seeds were handed over to them. According to the village head, although the new lord is young, he doesn't seem to be a bad person. The seeds distributed to them It was all prayed by the priests for a long time, which gave Jack a little motivation—maybe if he works hard this year, he can gain more.

Coupled with the money that Lia has saved from sewing and sewing over the years, maybe they can send their second son to a craftsman, if they earn more, they will send it to a blacksmith, and if they earn a little less, they will send it to a cowherd... ah , Maybe in a few years, their family will be able to get cattle to help during the busy farming season?

After all, cattle are too precious these days.

Jack and Leah were immersed in the beautiful imagination of the future, and suddenly the village chief came to his house early the next morning, followed by two knights in armor - Jack had only seen it from a distance before. Now, when I come into close contact with these tall and mighty knights, even though there are only two of them, I still feel that I am at war with each other.

"Jack, you just happened to be here, I thought you were leaving with the seeds!" The village chief was actually quite nervous with the two knights behind him, but when he thought of what the knights ordered, he had to try his best to ignore the orders from the knights. With the pressure behind him, he put on airs to get things done: "Where are the seeds that were sent to your family yesterday? Get them out!"

Jack was taken aback: "What are you taking out?"

"Hey, just take it if you ask me, why do you ask so many questions?" The village chief was a little impatient, for fear that Jack's moaning behavior would annoy the knights behind.

Jack didn't want to really fight. Although he was very uneasy in his heart, a thought repeatedly swiped the screen in his mind-could it be that the lord has repented! ?

Rao was already confused by this thought, but he didn't dare to delay in his actions. He just remained silent for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "Master knights, village chief, please wait a moment."

Liya hid behind the door when the village chief and the others came, and naturally heard their conversation. At this moment, she couldn't help but want to speak, but was stopped by her husband's eyes, and could only squeeze her eyes tightly with tears in her eyes. Wearing a dusty skirt.

The two knights probably guessed what Jack and the others were thinking, but they already had a class concept, so they were naturally unwilling to explain it to the peasants.

Seeing Jack reluctantly taking out the seeds, one of them didn't hesitate at all, and directly took out a wooden bucket filled with water from the horse behind him, and poured the seeds into it all at once.

When Jack and Leah saw this scene, they almost screamed out and fainted in distress—these people are really, if they really want to fall into the water, it's better to leave them!

Unexpectedly, before they finished sighing, one of the knights picked up a basket to pick up the seeds floating on the surface, and then picked up the seeds in the water and put them into a clean dustpan: "Wait for these seeds Let the water dry, and then the seeds can be planted."

Not only that, the other knight was not idle either. He opened several bags hanging on the other side of the steed and scooped out several handfuls of seeds: "This is for you."

No, won't you take it back?

Jack and Leah were stunned.

But they didn't have time to ask, the two knights put away their things and led the horses to the next house - the distance between these farmers was too far, and they had to look for them one by one, they were busy.

"Village, village chief, what's going on?" Seeing that the village chief was about to leave, Jack hurriedly stopped him and stammered.

"Hey you stupid brain! Didn't you realize that the seeds that the knights refilled for you are full and smooth? You earned it!" The village chief hated Jack's stupidity, but he really wanted to Say a few more words, but the knights are still waiting for him to lead the way, so they can only hurriedly throw down a sentence "collect more garbage, pomace, leaves, weeds, straw, etc. these days, it will be of great use" and hurried away past.

"Earn, earned?" Jack looked down at the seeds. After years of farming, he did find that the seeds in his hand were better than the ones he had just distributed. For a moment, he was a little flattered—this is, Have something good happen?

Turning her head, she saw Liya looking like she was about to go out: "Liya, where are you going?" Didn't you say you were going to stay at home to mend clothes today?

Liya gave him a blank look: "Didn't the village chief just say that? I'm going to pick up some leaves and weeds." As a poor family, I used everything I could use, but there was not much garbage in the house, so I had to go to the I found it outside.

Not only did Jack not feel that Lia's actions were blind, he nodded instead: "You're right, bring those three children with you too, and you can pick up some more!"

The territory under Frederic's rule is said to be "big", but in fact it is not too different from Qingshui Town in Ohm's previous world, and it still does not include the affiliated villages below the town - after all, it is one of the three major human kingdoms. The overall territory of the Alfred Kingdom is not as large as that of the Qing Dynasty—so the knight team of more than [-] people was split into groups of two and went to various villages, and all the divided seeds were collected within a day. Filtered and replaced.

Those farmers were puzzled by this wave of operations, but the long-term domesticated and obedient thinking made them obediently obey their arrangements even if they were full of doubts.What's more, they are not good at thinking, but they are not really stupid. The seeds that have been replaced are much heavier. Even if they are not happy at the beginning, they will accept it happily after the replacement.

Ohm is very sorry for this situation, but it has to be said that it is very convenient for his current actions.

Of course, the most important thing is to thank Fidel for trusting him so much and being willing to let him do it.

During this period of time, the things that can be done with the seeds come to an end, but there are still many things that can be improved during the planting process, the most important of which is fertilization.

In this era, there is no way to use chemical fertilizers, and there are simply fertilizers from nature.

In fact, farmers already know the benefits of manure to crops, but because of the feeding restrictions of cattle and sheep, most of them can only use a small amount of "fertilizer" from themselves, and because they don't know how to decompose, most of them have "burning seedlings" "Case.

Moreover, because the natural rotting time is very long, basically three months to half a year, but at this time the seeds are about to enter the mature stage, so it is natural that "far away water cannot quench thirst", and Ohm also plans to plant alternately in the future, Strive to harvest twice a year, so it is imperative to speed up the process of rotting.

Fortunately, there are supernatural powers in this world, so Ohm doesn't have to worry about the rate of decomposition of these fertilizers.

It's just that Feitelie asked the priests to pray to the seeds on the front foot, and then took people to the farmers' homes to replace the seeds on the back foot.

Although it has not reached the ears of the priests in the current time period, Feitely and Ohm both decided not to ask them for help for the follow-up break-up - and Feitely still has a hidden worry, please priests Meals are really too expensive, and he is so cash-strapped that he really can't afford it.

So Ohm went to Jinjila.

Jinjila is the wife of Nick Fox, a rabbit orc, and most importantly, she works in a pharmacy.

What she does is not ordinary odd jobs, but the configuration of medicines - although she is only a junior pharmacist now, what Ohm wants doesn't require too high a level.
