The Rise of Iceland

Vol 3 Chapter 89: Help you become a city lord

Olaf encouraged the craftsmen a few words, and then left the factory.

Holding the original and his own translation of "Drafts of Agricultural Books" under his arm, Olaf walked into the inner city, his nose lingering from the faint smell of the distant cesspit, he knew that this was because of the construction of the new city belt by Yot Most of the cattle and horses were gone, resulting in a shortage of livestock in Groot, so slaves had to carry manure barrels.

The lack of power of the slaves caused inconvenience in the transportation of feces, which made the pit spots more and more dense, resulting in a somewhat poor air quality.

However, Olaf thinks that this problem will be solved when the breeding of livestock increases next year. When the cesspit fermentation point is moved out of the city, the city of Groot will be restored to its usual cleanliness and fresh air.

Walking to the level streets paved with gravel in the inner city, Olaf saw Pastor McGonagall in a white robe walking around holding a bible.

Seeing Olaf approaching McGonagall with a surprised look, he said: "Olav, I heard that you use manure to make fertilizers, which can increase food production. Is it true?"

Olaf froze and asked, "Who did you hear?"

"I have been wandering around the city without any problems these days, and I heard many people talk about the use of manure as fertilizer. They all said it was the wisdom you learned from the Daming Kingdom of the Far East..."

Olaf knew what McGonagall said, and knew that the people in the city had leaked the news.

In the current era, there is no concept of intellectual property rights. Any new knowledge and technology cannot be kept secret for too long. The fertilizer issue is currently the biggest news in Herut City. Vikings and white slaves are all talking about it, and McGonagall learned It is also normal.

Olaf casually dealt with a couple of sentences and then changed the subject to ask if McGonagall lived in Hroot City. After 10 words, Olaf probed out McGonagall’s customs, agriculture, and fishery in Hroot City. I have a basic understanding of other industries and are very curious.

McGonagall even asked Olaf to apply for a factory tour. Olaf believes that Vinland’s agriculture, handicrafts, and sugar industries are the current core industries and industries to be protected, so he didn’t respond to McGonagall’s request at all. It was a polite farewell to leave, and as he walked, he was determined in his heart to send McGonagall away as soon as possible.

That night, Hadar and Olaf were sitting on the sofa and talking. Olaf shared his concerns and asked Hadar to send McGonagall away as soon as possible.

"Mag knows what harm does Wenlan's agricultural development do? He has no ability to harm us. You have to know whether he can survive or not depends on our attitude..."

Hadar couldn't understand the second son's concern about the risk of the leakage of advanced agricultural technology, but he also considered Olaf's opinion.

After the father and son spoke for a while, Hadar said: "Your brother wants us to help McGonagall regain the leadership of Plymouth City, so that we can take control of New England. We have also held a high-level meeting to discuss this issue, everyone. Agree to help McGonagall. Now that you think McGonagall is not suitable for staying in Herut City anymore, let's join the army as soon as possible and send him to Plymouth as the city lord as soon as possible!"

Hadar's words were tepid, and the tone was light and gentle, but the words revealed unquestionable domineering and respect for Olaf's opinions.

Olaf felt that his father’s leadership became more and more obvious, and he was very happy, and then asked, “How much force do you plan to send to help McGonagall?”

Hadar scratched the beard of his left cheek, frowned for a moment, and said lightly: "Five hundred Viking soldiers and five hundred white wolf warriors are enough!"

Olaf also agreed with approval: "Plymouth has only a thousand people. We can send five hundred Viking soldiers and five hundred white wolf soldiers to push Plymouth horizontally, and we can also deter them after tying Plymouth. Dad, you think very much. Thoughtful!"

Hadar laughed, and waved: "That's it! McGonagall, McGonagall, this general will send an army to help you become City Lord!"

Soon, Hadar's order was passed from the castle.

After the heavy rain at the end of July ended, the air became warmer after entering August. The sky was clear and white clouds were blooming. This was a rare good weather.

The five hundred Viking soldiers and the five hundred white wolf soldiers gathered before Kadir led to Hadar Fort. Hadar ordered the slaves to carry out weapons such as muskets, plate armor, flying spears, and spears.

After some encouragement, Cadier took Polly and Buren, two outstanding young men, to say goodbye to Hadar. McGonagall also hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then Cadier and McGonagall, Polly and Buren rode horses. Leaving the city of Herut with the Viking soldiers, the five hundred white wolf soldiers escorted ten bullock carts and all supplies to follow behind the Viking soldiers.

More than a thousand people took ox carts and supplies on board five armed merchant ships in the southern port and headed for the city of Plymouth on the east coast of America in the southwest.

When Kadir led an army to help McGonagall regain the Plymouth Puritan rights, Olaf did not go to see him off. He was looking in the warehouse for various plant seeds he brought back from Europe last year and this year, hoping to find South American islands. Cottonseed or Mexican cottonseed.

Because apart from seeing cotton and cottonseed in his previous life, Wenlan's people couldn't recognize which seed was cottonseed, so he had to look for it himself.

Although Europe did not grow cotton in large quantities, the popular foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and tomatoes from the Americas have long been cultivated as ornamental plants by Europeans, and so is cotton.

On both trips to Europe, he would buy a lot of plant seeds. Olaf looked carefully and found a bag of cotton seeds. He felt that the amount was too small, and even if they were all planted, they would not use two acres of land, but as long as they were planted, they would be cultivated for a long time. You will get more and more cotton seeds.

Collecting the cottonseeds, Olaf remembered that he had already planted tomatoes successfully. This plant is currently regarded as an ornamental plant symbolizing love because of its bright red appearance. This year Olaf led his Atang to open up ten acres. In the experimental field, corn, pumpkin, beans, and some tomatoes were also planted.

Because the climate of Wenlan is too cold, the current plant varieties, even the hardy varieties, cannot be planted in winter because they have not been improved, and the winter wheat Wenlan, which is common in the northern part of the dynasty, does not have its roots at all.

At present, Wenlan, like Europe, grows spring wheat and then harvests it in late autumn.

Vegetable plants such as corn, squash, and carob are also planted around the early spring. The current corn has matured, and the pumpkins and beans have also produced plump fruits.

High-level officials such as Olaf and Hadar have even eaten roasted tender corn several times. The sweet taste and burnt aroma made everyone who had eaten their thumbs up. Then Hadar and Yotte went to see the high yield in the field. I found that the yield of corn is indeed twice as high as that of wheat and rye, and they have decided to reduce wheat planting next year and expand the planting area of ​​corn, pumpkin and carob.

This year, all the land that can be developed has been reclaimed and cultivated in the surrounding area of ​​Herut City. However, it is properly considered to avoid diseases and disasters, but large areas of crops will be cut off.

Groot City has adopted diversified planting ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Only one-third of potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted, and most of the remaining land is planted with rye, oats, wheat, and barley, and a small part is planted with corn and pumpkins. And beans.

In terms of varieties, before the improvement of wheat, the yield per mu lags far behind that of corn. If 20-30 catties of seeds are also planted, the yield per mu of corn will reach two to three hundred catties. If it is planted in the early spring, it can even reach four to five hundred catties, but for wheat. But only about a hundred catties.

The high yield of corn is due to the variety, as well as the benefits associated with pumpkin and beans.

Pumpkin is a vine plant. Its wide leaves cover the roots of thin and tall corn, which prevents low weeds from receiving sunlight and cannot grow, thereby retaining the moisture and nutrients in the soil. At the same time, the beans will climb on the corn. Climbing, growth relieves nitrogen fixation in the roots, and increases the yield of corn and pumpkins. Therefore, the "three sisters" companions play a role in helping each other, which not only ensures an increase in production and income, but also reduces the workload of farmers. In this era, they are well-deserved food kings. .
