Game of Thrones Starts with the Lord Blast System

Most of the land in the north is unsuitable for farming. The closer the land is to the north, the more barren the land is because of the cold weather.

How to make use of the land in the south of the northern border has become the biggest problem of Lin En's field plan.

The Three Sisters Islands, now reclaimed, have become Lynn's testing ground.

Potatoes bought from Essos have been planted in the farmland of the Three Sisters for about 70 days. After the early-ripening potatoes bloom, the shoots stop growing, and the tubers expand rapidly, accumulating nutrients to maturity, that is, the stage of tuber formation, that is, the fruit .

Baigang has opened a direct route to the Three Sisters Islands, which can be reached in one day.

The early harvest results of potatoes in Sister Islands were outstanding, and the yield per mu reached about 800 to 1,000 kilograms.

This is still the yield per mu of immature potato fields.

Lynn, who got the news, had a smile on his face for several days.

The Lord of the City, who does not kill, is very kind. Lynn, who has nothing to do, walks around Baigang with guards every day, walking through the streets to learn about the income and output value of farming, animal husbandry and fishing.

Compared with the Hejian Land, the manor in the north is relatively rare. After adding Lynn's thunderous tactics in White Harbor, when Lynn toured the manor around White Harbor, every knight family manor owner greeted him with a smile, for fear of offending him. the new master of the north.

"Knight Enrique, I heard that your family's manor is the largest farmland around White Harbor, so let's grow potatoes in the future!

What? Don't know what a potato is? Silly cow, take a bag of potatoes from the carriage, and have baked potatoes for lunch today. "

"Knight Pollard, your land is all at the mouth of the Bairen River. The potatoes there are very fertile. It's too wasteful to use for sheep. You can buy sheep from Dorne. Dorne's sheep are fat and cheap. There are many direct routes to White Harbor. Well, the Dorne waterway in the north has been opened, don't worry, there will be a steady stream of fat sheep coming to the north within a month."

"What? Your family can only graze cattle? Don't worry, I'll ask Maester Hill to provide you with the staff. There are experienced farmers on my Three Sisters Island, who teach them hands-on. That's it. I'll have baked potatoes in the evening, and I'll treat you as a guest. ."

"Knight Caesar, I heard that your family controls the slave trade in Baigang City, don't wipe your sweat, I have no intention of plundering your family's business, I just inform you that slavery is allowed in and not allowed out in the future.

The city lord is in urgent need of manpower to develop agriculture.

In the future, the slaves you buy from Essos will be freed as long as you enter the city of White Harbor. There is no need for slaves in the north, but more workers are needed to make them citizens of the north. I will not let you suffer. Give you 10% of the profit, black people don't want to...

Well, you can try to refuse, I'm happy to arrange for others to accept..."

Lynn has a very busy schedule recently. After visiting the surrounding manor owners and the vassals and nobles in the city.

Government affairs are always tedious and boring.

Back at the mansion, Lynn held the order sign that the old Hill had ordered to be made according to his own requirements.

I started to write the order on it, and finally signed it with a seal. Then I shook the small piece of wood in front of me and said with a satisfied smile: "In the future, as long as this order is signed and stamped by me, it will represent the land in the north. The supreme will of my Lynn Rothschild, whoever dares to go against it... regards it as a rebellion."

"Next, let's start discussing the need to issue an executive order!"

Lynn sat on the high platform, and Old Hill and Alfred began to record and make suggestions.

The first was the Agricultural Reform Conference.

Without the participation of the government officials, this is actually almost all Lynn's words, in order to make himself have enough food reserves as soon as possible, in preparation for the next year to declare war on the southern part of Westeros, and to welcome the savages and White Walkers to fight the Great Wall.

Lynn must try to make herself rational and cold when dealing with administrative matters.

The first copy, the order sign issued by Baigang began in the south of the northern border, and it was issued soon.

First of all, considering the widespread use of iron agricultural tools, agricultural productivity has been greatly improved, and crop yields can also be greatly improved.

And Lynn's blasting system, self-matching armor and blades.

Lin En assigned the task of forging farm tools to the blacksmith shop in Baigang. Every month, the blacksmith must produce 80% of the iron tools for forging, which is used to forge agricultural and fishery daily necessities.

In order to reclaim new land and restore old land, Lynn also reformed two kinds of cultivated land systems based on the degree of land use in the north, referring to the land cultivation system of medieval Europe.

One is the continuous cultivation and fallow system, that is, a piece of land is left fallow for a long time after continuous cultivation for several years. This system is mainly practiced in mountainous areas with scattered settlements.

The other is to let a piece of land fallow for one year every two or three years, which is commonly known as the two-powder system or the three-powder system, which is mainly practiced in the plains and hilly areas.

Compared with the past predatory extensive farming, this new farming system is undoubtedly an improvement.

However, as a fallow rotation method, it itself reflects a kind of backwardness, because this method makes the existing cultivated land can not be used to the greatest extent.

However, there is no way to do this. The land in the north is really barren. Even in the southernmost part of the north, the land cannot reach 2/3 of the yield of Hejian land.

Lynn added, "When reclamation, let's build more post stations and place water wells by the way~www.wuxiahere.com~Old Hill quickly added a sentence in his diary.

"Sir, the current farm implements are expensive to manufacture, and the geology in the north is relatively hard, so the reclamation efficiency of general farm implements is not high."

Lynn pondered for a moment, "The land in the north is barren, but the land in the south of the north has completely reached the level of farming. Since the farm tools are not efficient, then update the farmer's plowing methods and tools, how about heavy plows?"

Soil conditions determine that it is difficult for farmers in the north to do intensive cultivation when ploughing the land.

Only light plows are used to rake the land vertically and horizontally to loosen the soil surface, and most of the soil in the crop growth layer is not turned over, so the root system cannot be fully extended, and the soil fertility cannot be optimally utilized.

A heavy plow is a towing tool equipped with wheels to control the depth of the plough, the plowshare is vertical, and the plowshare turns the field over. This plough can not only cover the seeds tightly, but also loosen the soil so that the infiltrated water can be concentrated at the roots of the crops for easy absorption.

Heavy plows are a good tool for ploughing sticky land and forest land, but the purchase of heavy plows requires a lot of money, and the use of heavy plows requires more farming animals.

Usually it takes several mules to pull a heavy plow.

Old Hill stopped the stylus in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sir, this thing is indeed a tool for reclamation, but the cost is higher, and ordinary farmers can't afford it. Only then the manor owner seems to be able to buy it."

"Yes, yes, but even a light plow usually requires more than two ploughing animals. We can temporarily promote the co-cultivation system."

Old Hill understood, and then said, "Then, when the arable land is reclaimed, do you have any suggestions for the varieties of crops to be sown?"
