Chapter 17: Plant High-Yielding Potatoes! (For Flowers! For Favorites! For Comments!)
One night without incident, the next morning.
The whole camp also started to get busy. Several chefs and women started to cook. This morning, they ate bread with potato and venison soup.
A bowl of hot potato and venison soup dispelled the slight cool breeze in the morning, and the whole person looked energetic.
Then everyone began to gather in the camp, because today the lord will officially assign tasks to them.
Two to three hundred civilians stood sparsely in the large open space of the camp, chatting in twos and threes.
After these few days of rich and nutritious meals, everyone’s mental outlook has improved a lot, at least not as depressed as they were at the beginning!
They are also full of energy, because they really believe that as long as they follow the lord in front of them, they will be able to live a better life.
Many people are still secretly happy, this time it seems that the bet is really right!
After a while, Annan brought the girls to the simple high platform, and looked at all the people below with a look of relief on his face.
Slowly said: “Now, you are divided into two teams, the craftsmen stand on my left, and the peasants stand on my right.”
After the crowd was divided, Annan said again:
“From today onwards, the mission of the peasant team is to develop the land in the river valleys and plains.
I give you the seeds of the crops, and all you have to do is to plant them.
And craftsmen are building houses, lord’s mansions and various fortifications.
Alright, now the craftsmen will wait here for a while, and the peasant team will follow me first. ”
Then Annan said to Alita:
“You worked hard at the vigil last night, rest in the camp today! Protect Mia and Liya by the way.”
“Well, yes, Your Highness!”
Alita replied softly.
Annan divided the ten dragon maids into two teams, five in each team.
A high-level dragon maid warrior leads four mid-level dragon maid warriors as the security team of the camp.
The first team is responsible for protecting the farmers and the safety of going out to farm.
A team is responsible for keeping the artisans safe.
After making arrangements, Annan led the team of farmers down the gentle hillside.
“We have to build this hillside into an S-shaped cement road around the mountain! It will be much more convenient to go up and down the hill and transport goods.”
Annan muttered to himself.
The crowd followed Annan to the valley plain at the foot of the mountain.
The plains here are distributed on both sides of the river, and the area is not very large, but the advantage is that it is close to the water source and relatively fertile.
Annan looked at the dense weedy plains on both sides of the river, directly using magic flames to burn all the grass.
In the grass, all kinds of animals and monsters began to howl and run wildly in the flames.
Annan directly summoned mecha warriors and mecha apostles, and started killing these low-level monsters.
“An extra meal is available again tonight!”
Annan smiled slightly.
After a large area of land was burnt with weeds and returned to the soil, Annan looked at the farmers behind him, and pointed casually: “What’s your name?”
The farmer who was named saw his lord calling him, and hurriedly said tremblingly: “Return to the lord, the villain is called Zaha!”
“Zaha! Well, you will be their captain from now on.
At the same time, I promoted you to be the logistics supervisor of the territory, do your best and don’t let me down! ”
After a few words of encouragement, Annan asked him to come over.
“Yes, my lord, I promise I won’t let you down!” Zaha was overjoyed, he was promoted, this is the promotion of the noble lord himself!
I really didn’t make a mistake!
Behind Zaha, the other farmers looked at him enviously. Why weren’t they pointed out by the lord?
“Hehe, don’t be disappointed, his official position is only temporary.
In future performances, whoever performs well among you can take his place.
Even if you can’t do it, I will arrange other positions for you. In short, as long as you work hard, the territory will not treat you badly! ”
After Annan finished drawing a big cake, he could clearly feel the fighting spirit of the group in front of him.
“Zaha, right! Come here.
Distribute these potato crops to the family as a unit, 200 catties per family, and then divide one mu of land.
I ask them to plant all of them within today. ”
Annan went to a hidden location and quietly took out ten tons of diced potato seeds in the system space.
Then he came to the crowd, called Zaha over, pointed to the pile of potatoes and said.
“Potatoes? Sir, is that the potato and venison soup we ate in the morning?”
Zaha said with a look of surprise.
The potato and venison soup this morning is really delicious.
If it wasn’t for the lord’s rule that each person only eats one bowl, he would have gone up and refilled several bowls!
Never had such delicious food!
Fragrant, soft and waxy!
It’s really delicious!
“That’s right, it’s the kind you eat in the morning! As long as it’s planted, everyone can eat it every day in the future!
And in the future, you only need to hand over half of the food you grow to the Lord’s Mansion, and the rest can be your own harvest! ”
Annan said with a smile.
“Only pay half? Keep half!”
Zaha looked excited. When he was in South Carolina, he was also a small rich farmer with a few acres of land.
However, as the city of South Carolina imposed more and more levies and miscellaneous taxes, in the end, almost 80% of the grain produced by one mu had to be handed over, and only 20% was in its own hands.
In the end, because he couldn’t pay the tax, the land was forcibly confiscated by the City Lord’s Mansion, and he became a free citizen!
In contrast, the new lord is simply a good man!
“Praise be to your mercy, my lord!
With such generous treatment, I believe they will work harder! ”
Zaha immediately expressed his sincerity.
“Well, these potatoes are all cut into pieces, and you will plant them later.
Just put each piece of potato into the plowed land, cover it with soft soil, and water it! ”
Annan demonstrated it to Zaha, and then encouraged him:
“Work hard, let my guards guard your safety around here! The territory will not treat you badly! The rest will be left to you!”
Annan encouraged Zaha a few words. Seeing his grateful expression, Annan felt like a black-hearted capitalist!
After arranging the team of farmers, it’s time to get out the cement and let the artisans get to work!
