For Moss to remember, George repeated: "Smoke Alexey what Austin--Uncle Mox! (shouting over there) Which middle name have you decided on? Carl or Charlie?"

King Smoke didn't have time to talk to him, he was standing in front of the old farmer with a dazed expression.

0848 The Sun King's Journey to the Eldar

two hours ago.

The Sun King is actually very familiar with Elda.He is a restless person, basically every year he will disguise himself as a merchant or nobleman in the Southern Wilderness, and go to various parts of the world to have a look.Knowing that the life of the Eldar people is far worse than that of the Southern Wilderness - many Eldar people have fled to the Southern Wilderness.

Today, during the private visit with George and others in this city, the Sun King also saw all kinds of people.

The people of Eldar have disheveled faces, on the contrary, the nobles in the castle are all richly dressed and radiant.

However, the Sun King felt that compared to the situation he had seen here last year, these commoners had already changed a lot.

Most of the people here used to be dressed in rags, and they looked like they were not as good as the beggars in the Southern Wilderness city.Now the civilians here, although not very well dressed, but the clothes are quite thick, and they all have shoes to wear.

The most obvious thing is that these people's eyes no longer have that numb color, but exude a kind of hopeful light.

And although these people have colorful faces, they seem to have had enough to eat this year.The food has only started to be harvested in the past two months, and the common people cannot rely on the little things in their homes to have enough food.So it should be the nobles who distributed the food.

In addition, I remember that George said before that the "Dawn Farmers' Association" seems to have allocated a lot of food to the refugees.

I heard from George that the people here can have enough to eat. On the one hand, it is because of the trade routes and trade opened up by Awali that the food flows in.On the one hand, thanks to the 'mercenaries'.

Hearing this, Smoke couldn't help but look at a group of people on the side of the street—the mercenaries again.I don't remember how many waves of mercenaries I saw today.

The Sun King had seen many mercenaries before, and he had a lot of influence on these damned mercenaries - rogues who were only looking for profit, bandits and robbers who had no moral bottom line.

Mercenaries, they are either from old age, or crows and vultures.The usual behaviors can be described as full of bad marks.

So the people hated them and feared them.But this time, the mercenaries I saw when I went to Elda seemed to be different from those the Sun King had seen before.

If you say it is different, you can't tell what is different.Each of these 'mercenaries' seems to have a special spirit.It is very different from those mercenaries who are drunk and dreamy.

And the common people seem to like these mercenaries very much.

The mercenaries in front of them were reciting something on a bulletin board for the surrounding people.

What did George call that?periodicals?

Seeing George and the nobles chatting there, the Sun King took a few people around him to the crowd on the other side of the billboard, and listened curiously.

It sounds like those periodicals contain all kinds of interesting reading, and many of them are about agriculture.

For example, why some land is not suitable for blindly seeded potatoes, soybeans, and wheat.How to intercrop and how to rotate crops will have a high yield.

For example, how should crops be served, how should fertilizer be treated, how should crops be dewormed, how to prevent locusts and other small knowledge.

After listening, the Sun King understood a little.But his expression became more and more strange, and he looked at those strange 'mercenaries' - aren't they mercenaries?How do you deal with such nonsense?

Moreover, these farmers are willing to listen to these things?

These stubborn farmers never liked to listen to other people's advice.In the Sun King Realm, Sorendo had hired many apprentices from the Moon Kingdom, and wanted to teach the citizens how to better carry out agricultural production.The result was ineffective—especially those refugees from Eldar, who were particularly stubborn.Not only is he still doing his own way, but he also thinks that knowledge is related to demons.

In the end, the chiefs had no choice but to use whips and government orders to punish them, so that everyone abandoned the old farming habits and started farming according to the more advanced methods.

But the farmers are still lazy, as long as they are not careful, they will fool around according to their wishes.

But these Elda farmers in front of them are quite different. They seem to be very interested in those agricultural knowledge!

After listening to the chaotic discussion among the crowd, the Sun King suddenly realized that they all have their own land!Heh~ They are still small landlords and free and rich people!

But after listening to it again, he discovered that these people did have their own land, but it was not up to them to decide what to plant.In other words, it was carried out in accordance with the plan of the 'Dawn Farmers' Association'.

Some people even only planted beans, not grain!

If these lands belong to the lord's family, then everyone may follow the lord's wishes.But these lands are all their own, and they will come here strictly according to the plan of the "Dawn Farmers' Association"?

Seeing the happy faces of these people, the Sun King guessed that these farmers and small landlords must have been fooled by George's subordinates.

And all the foolish things should have been realized - and they have also been fulfilled.

After the bumper harvest, everyone had surplus food, so they were naturally happy.

As for the land of my own home, I must also pay attention to it-after tasting the sweetness, I started to study here.

The Sun King couldn't help but become even more curious. How much food was harvested to make these people radiant?And it seems that, just last year, these people were not getting enough to eat.

He had heard from George before that the average yield of Elda was 6-8 bushels, like those places where all kinds of work started earlier, the yield was a little higher.All kinds of work were carried out late, and the output was a little lower-but the so-called 6 bushels were very low, but it made the Sun King feel that George was bragging.

The average yield of 6 bushels is more than 200 catties of grain per mu!This place is full of fog, how can there be such a high output?

But everything in front of him is a verification of this fact.

"On your side, how many fields do you have per household?" The Sun King asked a person next to him, speaking fluent Eldarin.

The man looked like a little country gentleman, well dressed, but he seemed to have gone to the fields by himself.He felt a hand patting himself behind him, and turned his head impatiently, but he saw a huge belly.He raised his head, looked up, and found that it was an extremely tall giant!

The little squire was startled for a moment, then he became cheerful, as if he saw some old acquaintance.Afterwards, he chatted with the Sun King very cordially for a long time.

This attitude can't help but greatly puzzled the Sun King.Because when ordinary people see him, their legs will go weak with fright, and they will regard him as the barbarian who cannibalize people in the southern wilderness without spit out bones.But after chatting for a few words, he found that this little squire seemed to regard himself as a 'templar' from another place.

It seems that this year in the northern and southern wilderness, many people have joined the camp of the shelter.

0849 'Rangers' loved by the people

"Master of the Holy Church. Our side is intensively cultivated this year. Generally, there are fifteen acres for males and ten acres for females. A family of five, two adults, two older children, and one child, add up to about five acres. ten acres of field"

After chatting for a few words, the squire noticed that there were servants beside the big man, and there were several servants who were disguised as men!He suddenly discovered that this was a noble lord from the Southern Wilderness.Therefore, I couldn't help but lose the interest in chatting, and went to see the board with my companions, as if I didn't want to serve anymore.

The Sun King didn't pay attention, but the servants around him noticed the squire's attitude.They looked at each other in surprise.My group followed the boss all over the world, and met too many people. People from all over the world generally reacted in two ways when they met the nobles of the Southern Wilderness.

One is scared peeing pants, yelling.

One has a flattering face, vying to please.

But this little squire not only didn't look afraid at all, he even threw face at himself!

The servants were wondering over there, and so was the Sun King.He stroked his big beard tied into a big braid, looked at the billboard not far away, and frowned: "Fifty acres?"

The Sun King really knows the national conditions of Elda very well.

Generally speaking, [-] mu of the [-] mu of land is given to the lord for voluntary labor, and basically all must be handed over.If the remaining [-] mu of land is not rented land, then it has to be taxed and handed over to the lord.

If it is leased land, it will be even worse, because the tenants of these leased fields usually borrow usury from the landlord.

In addition, he will be sucked blood by various masters for various reasons.Wait for the farmers to pay the debts of last year, the year before, and the year before last, and then pay the taxes of the year after and the year after.After peeling off the skin layer by layer, if there are three to five acres of grain left in the twenty acres of land, it is considered a high incense.
