Chapter 51 - Edward
“Ding ~”
“The player successfully used the [Baron’s Son] character card, matching characters …”
“Character matching succeeded! Start to enter the game …”
Uh …
“Wow ~ wow ~”
Cried loudly and resounded in a simple and tall castle.
“Dear Conner, is a boy whose nose and mouth are very similar to yours.” On the bed, a woman with a maternal glory on her face, holding the baby in her arms, said to the young man by the bed.
“Hahahaha, okay, okay! I finally have a child in Connor, who can inherit the glory and badge of my Burns family!” The young man laughed when he held the child in his arms. The eldest son, infinite hope and expectation.
Uh …
Six months later.
“I turned out to be Edward?”
Sat quietly in the cradle bed, and Zhou Ming, who was sucking his thumb, no longer knew how many times such a sigh.
In the last game, Edward, who was trapped by him and killed the whole family, became himself in this life.
Zhou Ming understands the bad taste of the system. In the last game, the game is somewhat related to the default role of the game. In the new game, as long as the character card is used, it will generally be matched from these related characters to form An illusion of fate and falsification.
Actually this is the system is lazy.
“Forget it, Edward, just Edward. Although in the last game, this was an arrogant and extremely uncomfortable guy, it can’t be said to be a bad guy, but he has some common problems that all nobles have. For the dignity and dignity of the knight, it is natural to look down on those lowly struggling farmers … “
“However, I am also reporting the revenge of the arrow. Of course, this revenge is a bit too much. I took your whole family’s life into it. Here I say Sao Rui. The grievances between us are considered acceptable. Smooth it out … “
“If this is not enough, then let me make a name out of you in this world, not to mention that the crown on the top of the head reaches the extreme position, at least it must be called the king, holding a heavy handle.”
Having figured this out, Zhou Ming was not entangled. He should eat and sleep. He also regarded Baron Conner and Madame Madeline as the parents of this life. Within eight months, his father and mother yelled out. Let the couple shed tears happily.
Uh …
Turned to three years old.
Zhou Ming, who has long been able to walk down the ground, has traces of activities throughout the castle. He often slips out of the castle and the fields, looking at the farmers with interest, and sometimes asking his father Baron Connor to take him to the north of the territory. Stone, in the woods on the east side, dig something and say to find the coal mine below.
Yes, when Zhou Ming opened the two volumes of [Mineral Resources Distribution Map] and [World Map] in his mind, this world was full of exploration for him.
In the small Grand Collar, underground resources are actually very rich. The barren mountains to the north have a limestone deposit with a reserves of over 100 million tons. Under the forest to the east, there are three coal resources with considerable reserves. There are diamond veins.
But these mineral deposits, except for the limestone mines in the north, have certain mining value, other mineral deposits, because they are buried too deep, have no mining value.
But it does n’t matter, it ’s just a small Grand Collar, and there are countless Grand Collars in this world. There are endless mines buried underground, although only a small part has mining value, but It was enough for Zhou Ming, and the wealth was there waiting for him. Sooner or later, he would get it back.
‘S biggest gain was the map of the world in Zhou Ming’s mind.
This map gave Zhou Ming a first glimpse of the whole world in this side and knew what kind of planet he was on.
This planet is about twice the area of the earth, 70% is sea, and the other 30% of the land is a fairly complete continent. The shape of this continent is a bit like a spindle with two heads and tails joined together. It seems that the lungs in the human body are connected by a “trachea”.
The “trachea” between these lungs is what the people of this world call the mountain of the devil-Ural Snow Mountain.
The Ural Snow Mountain, the middle uplift formed by the collision of two lung-shaped continents, has an average altitude much higher than the Himalayas on the earth. Conservatively, the average height is tens of thousands of meters. It is indeed veritable, only Only the devil can cross the mountain of the devil.
The western side of the Ural Snow Mountain is the continent where Zhou Ming currently lives, with hundreds of kingdoms and a population of over 100 million. But the eastern continent, which is larger in area, will have nothing on that continent. Zhou Ming does not know. He only knows that as long as he turns over the snow-capped mountain directly into the sky on the east side of the Kingdom of Warris, he can spy on On this planet, the entire land mass occupying another 60% of the area.
“Let’s go exploring behind the Ural Snow Mountain in the future, maybe there will be many surprises waiting for me there.”
Uh …
In the next few years, Zhou Ming began to show his talent in farming in front of his father Baron Connor.
According to the principle of increasing yield of cattle manure, Zhou Ming conducted a trial field in the manor of the territory to increase the yield of manure, and tripled the yield of barley acres. Soon it was implemented in all villages and towns.
Then it was to transform agricultural tools, install plow walls on heavy plows, invent cattle yokes and sowing caravans, which greatly improved the utilization efficiency of farming cattle and the speed of sowing of farmers, reducing their labor intensity and physical burden.
But even so, Zhou Ming found that the farmers who have reduced a lot of burdens did not have the desire to expand the planting area and increase the grain output, and his father Baron Connor was afraid that these idle farmers would go around and fool them. Going to the quarry in the north, I was going to heighten and thicken the outer wall of the castle. After a few months, the farmers who had some meat on their bodies, and most of them were thin ribs. During the process of building the castle, Two of them were accidentally stoned.
Seeing that this is not going to work, six-year-old Zhou Ming suggested to Baron Connor: “Dad, do n’t let these farmers build castles. Otherwise, we will make a rewards order. If there is that farmer, he will turn it over to the lord one year. If the grain can reach 50 taruns (≈ 1 ton), then he will be exempted from the weekly work of three days a week. If it exceeds 50 taruns, the excess will be returned to the farmer by one-fifth, so that they have the incentive to plant The ground. “
Zhou Ming’s plan is to develop a method of stimulating labor with incentives to improve the enthusiasm of farmers without basically changing the original tax system. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
After all, under normal circumstances, an adult farmer can produce up to 80-100 taruns a year, of which 50% is turned over to the lord, and the amount turned in is between 40-50 taruns, so, A little effort is needed to complete the 50 Tarren goal.
Is more cost-effective than being able to avoid the weekly work of three days a week.
“Can this be done? Without the farmers to do the weekly work, the lord’s field would not be planted, and this would be a lot less profitable.”
Baron Conner frowned, feeling that if such incentives were adopted, he would not only not make a profit, but also suffer a little.
“Dad, I’ve calculated it for you. Although your fields of less than 2,000 acres are the most fertile floodplains, under those labors where the farmers are not motivated to work, the yield per acre is not as good as the farmers’ own fields. Half of it, let ’s just lease all of these floodplains to farmers, even if they only get 50%, they are more than all the previous ones … believe me, those farmers will desperately put the land in order not to do the weekly work. Good kind. “
The farming experience left by the previous life made Zhou Ming understand the characters of those farmers early.
“But Zhou Gong was cancelled, what if the farmers had to be asked to work in the future? The territories are more than just the things in the fields. In the future, these farmers have to be used to build roads and bridges and castles.
“Then call the farmers to work in the name of grateful workers, but just change their name. In the name of gratitude, ask them to eat some delicious white bread and drink delicious lamb soup Do you work? “
Zhou Ming felt that the baron’s father didn’t know anything about it.
“Edward, you are really my smartest son.”
Connor Baron stared at Zhou Ming for a while, and it took a long time to express such a sentence.
