i have a shelter.

Even the bishop's bedroom was partitioned to reduce the space, and every space in the room was utilized.It has become an office area impressively.

Wendell took everyone to rest on the waiting sofa, and found that Old Jim's entourage was also waiting here not far from the next door.

A little pastor who was dealing with things at his desk poured a pot of tea for them after seeing the group come in.

Benjamin looked at the little pastor, feeling extremely familiar, and suddenly realized that he turned out to be Carey.

"Lord Wendell and Earl Benjamin seem to have recognized him. Your lord is discussing matters with old Mayor Jim in the house. Please wait a moment." After Carey finished speaking, he returned to his seat and got busy, and then took The minutes of the meeting that I sorted out today went outside.

There were people coming and going in and out of the outer room all the time, but it was a bit quiet inside.In this silence, Earl Benjamin's thoughts were mixed and he was sweating coldly.He looked at the Dawn Knights at the door from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.Wendell followed this time, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and sorted out his appearance, then picked up the copybook that the secretary was carrying, and read it carefully.

Not long after, he walked out of the back room with a civilized stick. After he and Wendell nodded, he left in a hurry with his entourage.

At this moment, Wendell hurriedly led people into the inner room.After opening the door, Earl Benjamin discovered that there were several desks and several priests dressed as civil servants in the inner room.

And on the desk of the leader, there are all kinds of maps, copywriting, and scrolls.A pen that no one is holding is writing something on an ancient scripture on the table. The person in the seat is holding a cup of tea, standing in front of the large open window, and looking at the field outside.

After seeing Wendell and others come in, George turned his head and smiled. After arranging them to sit down, he listened to the latest report on the city.Nothing about Benjamin is mentioned.This made Benjamin a little restless.I can only sit on a chair with my buttocks like an outsider, listening to their conversation.

The city's politics and people's livelihood have just stabilized in the past few days, and construction has just begun in the past few days.

After sorting it out, Wendell, Old Jim and others found that although there were many rivers in this territory, there were no waterwheels or canals built.In the past years, the farmland has never been irrigated, and it is completely dependent on God.

With so much wind and snow this winter, there must be a severe drought after spring!

Moreover, according to the wizards' research, the sudden disappearance of the locust plague last year was mainly because the land by the river and the saline-alkali land was overturned several times by farmers, causing a large number of insect eggs to die in the rain.But this year may not have rain, so water tankers, canals, irrigation and land reclamation must be the main work content this year.

Wendell's team has sorted out the relevant plans in the past two days, so today's report is the first topic.

Benjamin was shocked when he heard the perfect plans and reports from Wendell. He found that this guy had a very detailed understanding of this territory in just a dozen days. The various problems mentioned are things he has never been aware of, the solutions proposed are well-founded and to the point, and the plans made are also extremely perfect.

After the report, George took a brief look at the plan, and then looked at the policies related to those plans.

After seeing George nodding slightly, Wendell's uneasy mood relaxed a little.

This is already the third edition.

"This plan is close to reality, and the relevant policies have been revised well. Wendell, you have to remember that it is not enough to rely solely on us to organize. We must find a way to mobilize the enthusiasm of the residents, and being active can never rely solely on Beliefs and ideas must be linked to the interests of the residents themselves. Otherwise, even if they know the stakes, they may not implement them. Active implementation is far more efficient than passive driving. "

After speaking, George put down these documents and picked up the second set.

This is about farming.

During the reading, George occasionally asked some questions, and Wendell, who was prepared, explained some things on the document.

The serf Wendell, who was born and raised in the valley, originally thought that the farming technology in the south would be more advanced. After all, many ideas were taught by the great lord.And my lord had studied in Eldar.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that the farming here is actually extremely primitive, but because of the climate, the wheat here can be grown for two seasons.And because there are more plains and more cattle and horses, many farmers' farming is not as rough as the valley, but a little more meticulous.

But that's it.

Many people also plan to harvest the winter wheat planted last year in June

0460 Team

With the temperature of winter in recent years, most of the wheat seedlings may have frozen to death.However, the farmers here have been planting like this for several years, and they still maintain this old farming habit!

There is no shortage of food in the territory, but the tax is heavy, and it is all the land of the lord.Now these problems don't exist, so there is no shortage of food.Fields had to be replanned and recultivated.

Sweet potatoes are the focus this year.

"My lord, Old Jim didn't bring many sweet potato seeds, so this year's sweet potato seeds mainly rely on local sweet potatoes. Local farmers, under the guidance of pastors, are selecting and detoxifying local sweet potatoes." Wen Wen When Del said this, he sighed: "But after so many years of incorrect cultivation of sweet potatoes from generation to generation, most of the sweet potatoes have spotted root disease, and the effect of manual virus removal is poor, and it takes multiple generations of cultivation and selection to reach the shelter. The extent. We expect the annual output of this sweet potato to be around 600 catties."

The sweet potatoes in the shelter have been selected, cultivated and processed in the past two years, and now they can reach a yield of 1200 jin per mu.And Anthony believes that next year's sweet potato seeds will meet the qualified standards. After virus-free and breeding again, next year's yield will exceed [-], and then it is expected to sprint to the average yield of [-] per mu.

But regardless of the success rate of the current virus-free cultivation, it can only reach a few per thousand.Therefore, there are not many sweet potato seeds that can be used outside the valley.

So Qiongying’s sweet potatoes have to be made from scratch.In addition, there is no sunshine here, and I plan to cultivate the land of sweet potatoes this year, and I did not plow and loosen the soil to remove germs and insect eggs before last winter, so it is very good to be able to reach 600 catties.

Benjamin on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard these acres.

Not to mention that the shelter has a yield of 1200 catties per mu, which is a holy land. It is not surprising that there is such a yield per mu.But Qiongying was able to produce an average of more than 600 catties per mu, which surprised him very much.

Benjamin remembered that it was more than 600 kilograms, and it was the best field in this territory, with the highest yield.And the yield of sweet potatoes in many fields is lower than that of wheat!

He heard Wendell mention a few things about fertilization, intercropping, mixing and crop rotation.

He understands fertilization, but these people are more meticulous in their fertilization plans.As for intercropping, crop rotation and mixed cropping, he couldn't understand.

Benjamin heard that George and Wendell and others seemed to be extremely shocked by the original local planting method and called it primitive.

It seems that in their opinion, the land where soybeans are grown should not be planted with soybeans every year. Otherwise, no matter how fertile the land is, if it is fertilized, the land will become barren.

The same is true for sweet potatoes and potatoes, no matter how high their yields are, if they continue to be farmed, the land will be useless.

However, soybeans can increase the fertility of the land if a reasonable crop rotation is carried out.

Benjamin could hear that these people in the valley seemed to plan to intercrop soybeans and wheat in the way of wheat on the ridges on the ridges, and soybeans on the ridges between the ridges.In the second year, the land will be plowed again, and the soybean soil will be used to plant wheat, and the wheat will be used to plant soybeans.From now on the fields will become fatter

The growth cycle of soybeans and wheat is also more suitable for this kind of intercropping, and this kind of intercropping method can not only use more land.It is also more efficient than opening up wasteland to grow wheat and soybeans.

Sweet potatoes, cotton, and wheat are crop rotations.

So according to what these valley people said, wouldn't this year's production be increased by four or five times? !

Earl Benjamin couldn't believe this matter, but Wendell's data was placed on his desk. This year's production forecast is supported by cases and actual data.

In other words, as long as they follow their plan and plan, this output is a guaranteed number!

Benjamin looked at the people in the office who were busy going back and forth.He suddenly felt a little lost. He didn't know where the great lord found such a group of people to help him.

If he had such a team, in the past ten years, he would have stepped on the Duke of Qiongying and jumped up in the kingdom.

In Wendell's narration, George looked at the young man walking up in front of him and nodded secretly.

This old Jim's old partner was originally just a serf he bought from a profiteer, and he only had a little understanding of farming.But in the past few years of experience and the training of the shelter, he has gradually stood out, gradually matured, and can be his own.

There are still many shelters for people like Wendell, and many of them were brought out by themselves this time, and they were all arranged in various territories.Judging from the situation in Benjamin's territory, other territories should also be extremely smooth.

After all, this is the most difficult and complicated place. There are too many refugees, and there have been plagues.

"Unfortunately, Master Rosgard and the others have not yet researched a good preservation method for sweet potatoes and potatoes." Wendell shook his head and sighed, "Based on the current data, even if they are stored in the cellar, sweet potatoes are at most It can only be stored for about six months."

Or there is no time to study, George added in his heart.

He opened his mouth and said:

"It doesn't matter, Wendell. They can be used as food for this year. The extra can be transported to the east, giving the refugees and frontline fighters of the Kingdom of Eldar the favorable transportation conditions here, and go down the river." , in at most two weeks, you will be able to reach the easternmost point of Eldar from the river."
