The first batch of wheat planted in Bianfeng Town finally ushered in the harvest day.
The serfs cut the wheat straw with sickles in the scorching sun, tied up bundles and transported them to the other side of the river.
Roland knew that going from wheat ears to wheat grains is a very tedious process. Before mechanical farm tools and combine harvesters were popularized, wheat grains needed to be separated, cleaned, screened, and dried.
Now, he witnessed the process again.
After the wheat straw was transported back to the camp, the serfs spread them flat on the ground and dried them, and then used various tools to make them use whatever they were: wooden sticks, stones, and rakes were all used, and repeatedly knocked on the wheat straw and ears to let the fruit break out of the shell. This process often lasted for three or four days.
In Roland's memory, the countryside uses cows or donkeys to pull a stone mill to press them around the valley. This not only saves much effort, but also has a much more uniform shelling effect than the knocking effect.
It has to be said that the agricultural level of the town is really too backward.
After the fight, it is a turnover. It is also a turnover. If there is no fork, use a wooden stick instead, or just grab the wheat straw with both hands and throw it into the sky, just like turning over the pot to stir-fry.
After the early knocking, most of the shells of Yingguo have broken, and this process separates the fruit from the wheat ears.
Threshed wheat straw actually has many functions. After being crushed, it can be returned to the fields, used as livestock grass, and made feed and paper. However, Roland had no time to develop a green industry at this moment, so he had to watch the serfs piled the wheat straw to the river and burned them all.
In the next few days, gray smoke flue floated over the town all day long, comparable to the previous cement powder pollution.
At the same time, the two spindle-shaped islands of Chishui Bridge have also been cleared and the construction of the water barrier wall is underway as planned.
The foundation piers adopt the same prefabricated method as the main bridge. First pour concrete columns containing steel and steel bars into the open space, then weight reduction and lifting. Finally, Lian is responsible for sinking it into the soil, exposing only half of the steel plate, waiting to be connected to the bridge body.
Therefore, during this week, Roland was basically wandering between Chishui Bridge and Guchang, and his skin was much tanned.
After the wheat straw was forked out, only a layer of wheat grains and chaff remained in the valley.
The serfs swept them into pieces and piled them into small hill bags, then stood on the hill bags, shoveled the mixture with shovels, and threw it towards the open space ahead.
Since the husks are much lighter than the fruits, they are farther from the ground when the wind blows, so the wheat grains are sprinkled under their feet, while the empty shells and debris are in the distance. This method is used by everyone to collect the grain step by step.
Of course, it is impossible to completely clean the husks, and this process will also allow mud and sand to be mixed into the wheat grains. Therefore, Roland made up his mind that by the harvest day next year, he must prepare a batch of mechanical agricultural tool combines in advance, probably not to be made, but the husk dehusk is quite easy to achieve. It is just that the stone mill is replaced with a mill, and a screen is installed below, and a blower is used to separate the broken husks.
When the full wheat grains were evenly spread on the valley field, it seemed as if the entire north bank of the Chishui River was dyed with a layer of gold.
Looking at these golden fruits, Roland felt a sense of accomplishment.
Regardless of whether the harvested food is enough to fill the stomachs of more than 10,000 people, at least for Bianfeng Town, this is a memorable day.
From today on, the food in his territory will gradually change from being completely dependent on imports to being self-sufficient.
After three days of drying, the wheat enters the bag weighing stage.
Your Highness, this time it is a great harvest!In the afternoon of the same day, Barov ran into the office excitedly. According to preliminary statistics from the city hall, the yield per per-acre field was at least four times that of the past, and the highest is now six times. In this way, the harvest this year is enough to fill the people's stomachs.
Is that right? Roland couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the newly built granary in the castle area would not have to be empty all the time.
Do you know what this means?The headmaster of the city hall looked even more excited than him. The town only needs to add another 2,000 farmers to meet the food consumption of 50,000 or 60,000 people!This is simply incredible. The town can completely expand into the largest city in Gray Castle. No... He paused, the most magnificent city on the mainland!
The main reason why the urban population could not increase in this era is that the grain production capacity is low. A big city like the capital with more than 20,000 people already needs dozens of villages around to provide food for it.
Each village has a population of about one or two thousand people. If half of them are engaged in agricultural farming, it will be calculated that almost 20,000 people support 20,000 people.
In other words, a farmer produces food that is only for one urban resident to support himself and his family.
This is the so-called invisible constraint on productivity. I am afraid it is difficult for Barov to imagine that when mechanized planting becomes popular, the output of one person alone will be enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
The main contribution of Bianban Town to achieve such a great harvest without promoting and developing agricultural technology is to the Golden No. 1 of Leaf Renovation.
Roland set a strategy from the beginning to feed more people with as few farmers as possible, liberate human resources from farmland, and turn them into industrial production.
Now the Ministry of Agriculture has obtained the best planting process, and in addition, iron farm tools and machinery will participate in farming in the coming year, the per capita output will inevitably become higher and higher.
……
In the evening, Roland held a bonfire speech by the Chishui River. It seemed that it was back to the dusk four months ago, with the same blazing bonfire, the dark crowd, and the last afterglow that shone on everyone's faces.
The only difference is everyone's expression. Compared to the panic and uneasy when they first arrived, their faces are now filled with joy of harvest and unconcealed expectations.
Roland reached out and waved his hand down, and the scene suddenly became quiet.Everyone held their breath and waited for the prince to fulfill his promise.
I know what you want to hear. He did not put his name and title first as usual, but said bluntly. I can also tell you without a doubt that the promotion rules announced before are still valid and will continue!
This sentence alone ignited the atmosphere at the scene. Everyone couldn't help but shout, and many people knelt down to praise the prince's kindness.
Long live Lord!
Long live the prince!
When the weighting of the food is over, the promotion list will be announced. When the call is slightly calmed, Roland continued to say that the arrangements after becoming a free citizen will be under the responsibility of the city hall. You can choose to continue farming or find another job in the town.
In addition, starting from next year, as long as the harvest meets the promotion standards this time, even if the output is not at the forefront, you can become a free citizen.In other words, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to get rid of the identity of serfs. As I said, labor creates wealth, and labor changes destiny.He paused for a moment and looked around, and I hope that in the future, there will be no more serfs in the border town and that everyone will become my true lord.
As soon as Roland finished speaking, people's cheers instantly resounded over the Chishui River for a long time.
