Chapter 37
byIn the evening of that day, the flock of birds stayed in the courtyard for a long time before leaving. Many people came to hear the news and saw this miraculous scene.
From this moment on, rumors that the silver-haired princess from a foreign country possessed magical abilities also swept Sathya like sandstorms.
Lucy's goal was achieved, even if some people did suspect Ella later because the snake tamer was not found, but for those who believed that the silver-haired princess had magical abilities, those doubts were nothing but slander for her.
But these are things for the future.
After saying goodbye to Lucis, Ella went back to her room to prepare the anesthesia for the cattle tomorrow.
Normally, when piercing the nose of a cow, you just start it directly. The process looks a bit bloody, but because of the special structure of the nose of the cow, piercing the nose will not cause much harm to the cow, just like piercing the ears of a person.But this process still makes the cow feel uncomfortable.
So Ella is going to make some anesthetics to reduce the pain of the cows in the process of piercing their noses. Fortunately, although medical skills are in a very primitive state, at least they already know how to use a lot of herbs. Ella took them from them.Herbs plus several freshly picked herbs were just enough for her to prepare an anesthetic with local anesthetic effect.
In addition to anesthetics, Ayla also prepared a powder that has the effect of reducing swelling and stopping bleeding.
And her custom-made cow nose ring was delivered smoothly the next day, and everything was ready, so it was natural to put the nose ring on the cow.
Because she promised Lucis, Ella went to invite Lucis in person when the cattle officer brought the cow over.
It happened that Lucis was also free, so he followed her as soon as he heard her talk.
Soon the cattle officer brought all the ten cows bought by Ira, and a tribal slave with dark skin and thick lips.
The northern and central parts of the Feiluo continent are occupied by various countries. On the grasslands in the south of the continent, there are no countries, but large and small tribes.
This slave is from one of the tribes, and the reason why he is here is because Ella needs him to do the nose piercing of the cow.
Ella thought about doing it herself, but the fact is that she couldn't do it by herself, and other people didn't agree with her to do it, so Ella thought it over and found it better to find someone with experience.
Ayla asked the magistrate, who, after hearing her request, found the slave of the tribe for her.
The relationship between the various tribes in the south is not harmonious, and there are sometimes conflicts with the countries around the grassland, so there are many slaves from the tribes. The reason why this slave stands out is that both men and women in their tribe can have their ears pierced, and it is not ordinary.Not the small piercings that people get, but large piercings that can be inserted with a cork the size of a coin.
This tribal slave himself has two very large ear piercings. According to him, he often pierced other people's ears when he was in the tribe, so he has rich experience.
Although it doesn’t need to be that big to punch a cow’s nose, it still requires some manual effort to use a chopstick-thick shoulder tool to pass through a special area the size of a mung bean.
So this tribal slave became a very suitable candidate.
Ten cows were tied under a palm tree, their limbs were fixed with ropes, and the heads of the cows were held down by strong soldiers to prevent them from moving around and hurting people when their noses were pierced.
The round chisel borrowed from the carpenter has been sterilized by fire, and it has been coated with Ella's newly prepared anesthetic. The bull's nose has also been cleaned in advance.You need to pass the chisel through according to this position.
Ella's anesthesia was very powerful. Although several cows were a little disturbed when their noses were pierced, the anesthesia numb the pain of the wound and almost felt no pain, so they did not react too aggressively throughout the process.
After all the cows were replaced with new custom-made nose rings, Aila asked the cow officer to pay special attention to the wounds these days, and gave him a pack of herbs, which she also brought from the doctor, all of which are anti-inflammatoryPain-relieving herbs, the weather in Sathya is too hot and wounds need to be protected from inflammation.
"When you go back, boil these herbs into water, let the boiled soup cool down and wipe their wounds three times a day."
"In addition, move the cow's nose ring every day to prevent the cow's nose ring from sticking when the wound heals, but remember not to use too much force, so as not to affect the wound healing."
"When the wounds are almost healed, you can bring them here."
"Everything is according to your orders, Your Highness."
It will take at least ten days for these cows to recover from their injuries, and Ella has to be busy with many things during this period.
Because of the poisonous snake incident, the palace is destined to be chaotic for a while, but this does not affect Ella, and even her status has risen, and everyone has become more respectful to her. Originally, it took a certain amount of time to process the title deed, but because of this incident, The procedure was greatly shortened. On the afternoon of the day when the nose ring was put on the cow, the land manager sent the completed title deed, and the land officially belonged to Ella.
Yanila has followed Ella's instructions to find the manpower she wants. This matter is not particularly urgent. The farm tools custom-made by Ella at the blacksmith's side have not yet been delivered, and the cattle have not healed well. He just needs to find all manpower before then.enough.
But breeding can start now.
Ella has also planted land, and most of the seeds in her hands were planted by her. Even for rice, she also personally tried it from seedlings to maturity in the labor activities organized by the school.
Of course, it is also the first time for her to plant such a large amount. Ella needs not only helpers but also a field suitable for raising seedlings.
Rice needs a suitable seedling field, and other seeds also have different needs, so the land for raising seedlings should not be too small.
Her piece of land has not been sorted out, and the distance is relatively far away, so it is not the first choice for raising seedlings, so Ella plans to borrow a piece of land in the palace and use it first. Of course, Lucis will not mind this little thing, and let her go by herselfChoose a place, as long as she chooses, she can use any place in the palace.
There should have been a poisonous snake incident just now, and everyone in the palace is in danger. At this time, no one dares to act freely in the palace, so Ella can act more freely at this time.
However, she didn't plan to walk around the entire palace to find the most suitable place. She directly found a courtyard near the bedroom that was not affected by the river.Will not come here, no one will bother her.
The temperature in Sathya is very high. At this time, there is no need to consider the issue of heat preservation when raising seedlings. On the contrary, it is necessary to cool the seeds to prevent them from being burned to death by the high temperature.
One of the most common tree species in Sathia is the palm tree. Ella discovered that this tree is full of treasures after she came to this world. Its leaves can be used to make fans, and the outer layer of brown hair can be twisted into ropes or made into ropes.Mattresses, flowers and fruits can be eaten, and even the seemingly useless tree trunks are full of starch when they bloom. At this time, the trunks are cut down, and the starch obtained through processing is the sago that is often used in modern drinksraw materials.
The land under the palm trees is very silver, and there is no shortage of light. Although it is a little barren, it can be used for breeding with a little tidying up.
The two gardeners who are in charge of taking care of the garden offered to help her plant the land when they knew that Ella was going to breed here. They are all good at gardening flowers and plants. With their help, Ella can save a lot of worry.
Ella did not use them in vain, no matter who they were, the rewards that should be given afterwards will not be less.
She circled a piece of land in the courtyard, and two gardeners helped turn the land into ridges, and then divided the land into different areas according to Aila's requirements. Each piece of land also has different requirements.I plan to use the method of raising seedlings on dry land, but the seedling field must also be kept moist. The moisture in the soil is more than that of other seedling fields, so it should be separated from others.
In addition, due to the lack of nutrients in the land, gardeners also need to re-mix the dried and sterilized river mud into the soil. The river mud from the Inrula River is rich in nutrients and is perfect for base fertilizer.
Ordinary farmers do not need to fertilize the land because they are directly farming on the land that has been flooded by the river and left a lot of river mud. The land naturally contains enough fertility, but gardeners grow flowers differently, especially those who serve the royal familyGardeners, many of the flowers and plants they tend are very precious and need to be carefully cared for. It is impossible for these flowers and plants to be flooded by the river, but they also know the benefits of river mud, and they will use river mud to nourish flowers and plants. How to use river mud also has their ownset.
It's just that the river mud needs to be dried for a few days before use. This is the first time the gardeners know about it. At first they thought it was too troublesome to do so, but Ella explained very clearly that it can reduce plant diseases and insect pests.The gardeners who have been having headaches for this are very pleasantly surprised, and they no longer find it troublesome.
While the gardener was busy arranging the land to dry the river mud, Ella had already started raising seedlings with the maids.
It is the first time for the three of them except Debbie to do this kind of work. Fortunately, they are all simple and effortless tasks. In addition, Ella paid generously, so everyone is happy to help her..
All the seeds have to be sun-dried first. Drying the seeds can not only break the dormancy of the seeds and increase the germination rate, but also have a certain bactericidal effect and prevent some later-stage diseases and insect pests.
The dried seeds are then soaked in warm water, and those shriveled seeds that cannot germinate will float by themselves, which can be removed very well to increase the germination rate. Of course, soaking is suitable for larger seeds with thicker skins, and seeds that are too small do not need to be soakedCan be sprinkled directly on the field.
The whole soaking process takes about three to five days or even longer, and during this time, the gardener has already prepared the land for sowing.
The Sathya people are very simple to sow seeds in the ground, but these seeds are not good. For large seeds, small pits need to be dug at a certain distance, and two or three seeds are buried in the soil. This is the on-demand method, and smallThe seeds can be mixed with fine sand and sowed into the ground. The fine sand can cover the seeds, so there is no need to cover the soil.
Seeds such as rice are also sown, but they don’t need to be sown with fine sand, just sow them directly in the seedling field. Just be careful not to scatter too densely, rather sparse than dense, too dense will not grow well.
After that, control the temperature of the nursery, water regularly and wait for germination.
Of course, there are some crops that do not require seedlings, but the seeds should also be exposed to the sun and soaked in water to increase their germination rate.
·····
While Ella was busy raising seedlings, the guard Yanila had already returned to her home with a mission.
His family is in the city of Tanis, and their ancestors made a living by making sedge boats. His two older brothers both inherited his father's craftsmanship and made sedge boats with him. Only he was valued by Shangfeng when he was serving in the military., Recommended to join His Majesty's guards and become a royal guard.
——Oh, his Shangfeng is now his father-in-law.
Sathiyas usually move out of their homes to form their own small homes after marriage, and Yanila is no exception. Considering that he is often away from home and his wife and relatives live close to each other, they can take care of them, so their houses are far away from each other.not far.
Although it is a craftsman's family, his family is not very rich. It can only be said that there is no need to worry about food and clothing, so the conditions of the wives married by the two elder brothers are also very ordinary, even a little poor.
Although the conditions of the sisters-in-law's natal families are average, Yanila's mother values them more when choosing her daughter-in-law, so the relationship between the several families has always been very good.
So after hearing Ella's request, Yanila immediately thought of her mother and two sister-in-laws.
Yanila's grandparents have passed away, but he has two uncles who make a living by farming, and they have a good way of handling crops, which fully meets the selection criteria of Her Highness the Princess.
And his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are villagers in the village near Tanis, and the family is also a farmer. When Yanila was young, he went out with his mother several times, and often heard family members talk about these two families.Relatives, so have some understanding of their family's situation, and know that they are honest and hardworking people.
It’s just that for Sathya farmers, even if the weather is good and the fields are good, the food they harvest may not be able to feed a family. Like the two sisters-in-law’s family of Yanila, because of the large population, even if they work hard, they can only feed their families.The people who lived reluctantly.
Yanila's family is three brothers, and his two uncles' families are similar, which is not very common in Sathya. His sister-in-law's family has many names. There are seven brothers and sisters in the same generation, and his second sister-in-law's family is better.There are also five, and their parents have worked hard to support them.
It is normal for civilian families with many children to live in Sathia or even the entire African continent. At this time, the child mortality rate is very high, and people do not have any awareness of contraception. In order to ensure that there are children in the family who can live to adulthood, they will have a lot of children.Children, but it is not easy to support more children, and children are more likely to die young. It can be said to be a vicious circle.
But if the children are lucky enough to survive, they will be like Yanila's two sisters-in-law's family, and the burden will be too heavy and life will be difficult.
Although the brothers and sisters of the same generation in his sister-in-law's family have almost grown up now, the older ones can support themselves, and the younger ones can also help the family, which is a lot less burdensome, but everyone gets married early, and they have children after marriage.Children are also early, and before long, they will also have the same burden as their parents.
Not to mention the natal families of the sisters-in-law, Yanila's uncle, and even his elder brothers' families, there are similar situations.
Yanila knew that it was not easy for everyone, and now that she had the opportunity, she naturally wanted to help.
As shipbuilders, their ancestors all lived by the Inlula River, relying on the large expanse of papyrus for their livelihood, but the riverside is also a dangerous area, so the house was built some distance away from the river, with a large open space in the middle, These open spaces are not abandoned, and most of them are used by the surrounding people to open up vegetable fields.
It was almost noon when Yanila arrived home. His wife was preparing lunch in the yard, and the two children were playing beside them. When they saw him, they cheered and flew over.
His wife was surprised to see him: "Why are you back now?"
During this period of time, he was on duty in the palace, so he had more chances to go home than usual, but he never came back at noon.
Yanila took out the presents for the children and distributed them to them, saying to his wife, "I have something to do, are mom and dad at home?"
Although several families lived close to each other, the houses of ordinary people were close together. When Yanila built his house, his parents’ house was surrounded by owners, so his house was also a short distance from his parents and elder brother.The gate didn't face in one direction, so he didn't meet them all the way.
The wife nodded: "Father and the others just came back from cutting the papyrus in the field and are building a boat. Mother is at home."
Don't look at the papyrus everywhere by the river, but in fact, a few of these papyrus can be used, and a large amount of use needs to be taxed. In order to save costs, Yanila's family has been renting some land along the river to grow papyrus.
The shipbuilding site of their family is by the river, but it is not at the same place as the place where Yanila went ashore, so they have to walk for a while.
Yanila said to his wife: "I told my mother in advance that you prepare the meal, and I will eat it when I come back."
Yanila went through the back door in her yard and walked a short distance to his parents' house.
"Anila, you are back."
Yanila's mother was also cooking in the courtyard, and the courtyard door was open, just in time to see him coming in.
In addition to his mother, his sister-in-law and several children of his elder brother were also there. According to tradition, parents usually live with the eldest son in the family, so his elder brother's family did not move out after they got married.
The sister-in-law asked Yanila if she hadn't had lunch yet, and if she wanted to eat with them.
Yanila smiled and shook her head: "Tev has already made it at home, and I came here to tell you good news."
"What good news?"
Yanila directly told the news that Ella wanted to recruit people, and finally said: "The princess is very generous, and the reward is enough to hire craftsmen. I think that uncle and sister-in-law's family are not all good at farming.People? You might as well ask them, do you want to go to His Highness to try?"
This is a good job. Yanila naturally thinks of his family first, and he always thinks that his family is very good, and these in-laws are also good, and he is willing to help.
Of course, he did not forget his wife, but the men in his father-in-law's family were all in the army, and there were no farmers among his relatives, so this job was not suitable for them.
Yanila's mother and sister-in-law were surprised when they heard the news, and the mother was even more excited, asking him repeatedly: "Is there such a good thing?"
"Of course, that princess is a kind and generous Highness, and she will not go back on what she promised."
After this poisonous snake time, Yanila's favor for Ella has greatly increased, and she is highly respected, and the guard work during this period also made him believe in the character of the princess.
"This is really great news, Gods bless!"
The mother clasped her hands together and was so excited that she turned her head and asked her eldest daughter-in-law to call the family back.
"Remember to go to your sister-in-law and tell her to come too."
The eldest daughter-in-law nodded, wiped off the water on her hands, and hurried out to call someone.
"You also go back and call your wife. Let's have lunch together. We need to discuss this matter."
Originally, Yanila's father brought dry food when he went to work, and his mother just wanted to get something to eat for lunch. Now that she heard the news, she immediately planned to make something good at home today, not only to let those who brought back the good newsThe younger son had a full meal to celebrate the good news.
Yanila had no choice but to go back and tell his wife that there was no need to cook lunch. They took the meals they had prepared before and returned to their father's house with their two children.
On the way, he told his wife about his return, and Taifu was also very happy for them.
As soon as Tai Fu arrived, she helped her mother-in-law and got busy. Not long after, the second sister-in-law also brought the three children in the family to help, plus the three children of the eldest brother, there were eight children in the yard, includingThe eldest is thirteen years old, and the youngest is only one and a half years old. They are Yanila's youngest daughters.
A group of children, older and younger, don't need adults to take care of them, so Yanila sits idly and watches them play.
Before lunch was ready, Yanila's father and brother returned.
As soon as they came back, his father asked him directly: "You said that His Highness also needs someone with strength to help her work, can we go?"
Ella not only needs to recruit people who farm the fields, but also laborers who repair the fences. Naturally, their shipbuilders will not be short of strength.
Although it is a family of craftsmen, the business of papyrus boats is not easy to do. There are many people in their industry, and the rich also have craftsmen in their own homes. Their families can only build boats for ordinary people, but not every day.Shipbuilding, ordinary people are very careful with their boats, and they will not buy new ones until they are unusable, so the most work they take on is ship repairs, and the business is not very good, and they will go hunting when they are not alive.Fishing or doing odd jobs to support their family, now that they meet a generous customer, they naturally want to go too.
But he was worried that his highness would be offended if they dragged their family away like this.
"Of course there is no problem. I asked His Highness when I came back, and she agreed."
The reason why Yanila dared to recruit all his family members so boldly was because he had asked Ella beforehand and got her consent before he dared to do so.
Ella only asks that the recruited people be capable and diligent, and she doesn't care if they are relatives or not, so Yanila's behavior does not displease Ella.
Hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved. Even his mother and sisters-in-law wondered if they could help out. They couldn't do the hard work, but didn't they still need people who were responsible for cooking and delivering water?
But in the end they gave up on this idea, and all the men in the family went out, and they had to stay at home to take care of the children and feed the livestock, so they couldn't all go together.
It is also impossible for Yanila to let his relatives take care of these jobs. Apart from his father and elder brother, his two uncles can also have a few people, and his two sisters-in-law and even his wife can also come out if they have someone.A few out, as for the remaining number of people really have to follow the request of the princess, to find those farmers who can farm.
His father immediately said: "I know a few good farmers. I'll go in the afternoon and ask them if they want to go."
His mother and sisters-in-law also said that there were several well-known farmers in their natal village, and they would ask him when they returned. As for those laborers, Yanila knew a lot, so he could go to them.
With the reward given by the princess, no one would be unwilling to go.
·····
Just as Yanila thought, none of the people they questioned was willing to go, even those who had already found a job, after hearing the generous reward and the fact that the employer was a princess, they immediately saidYou can quit your job and go to him immediately.
Working for a noble princess with such a high salary, and if you do well, you may be able to continue working in the future. don’t know how much better it is than a short-term job with a small salary. Such a good opportunity is rare, as long asNo fool would give up anything else for this job.
Yanila is looking for people who know the basics, and he is also worried that he has not handled the princess' affairs well, so he has specially investigated the basic situation of everyone he recruited to ensure that there are no inappropriate candidates mixed in.
So it took him a few days to get all the people Ira wanted.
At this time, the blacksmiths finally finished the farm tools customized by Aila, but because the cattle were still recuperating, the reclamation had to wait, so Aila asked them to go to the field to build the fence first.
The fence is mainly used to isolate wild animals and protect the safety of people and fields. However, the wild animals in that piece of woodland may be small animals such as wild boars and antelopes. Larger wild buffaloes and dangerous carnivores are not.According to the locals, they have basically never seen it, so as long as the protective fence can prevent these small beasts, it is enough.
So Ella plans to use wood to make a fence, and then plant thorny plants on the edge of the fence, such as sea buckthorn, which is very suitable.
Seabuckthorn, a thorny plant, can be seen everywhere in Sathia. The fruit it bears is both delicious and medicinal, and it can grow well without much maintenance, even if the fruit may attract some birds and beasts to look for food after it matures.But it can also play a role in attracting the attention of birds and beasts so that they do not harm the fields.
So the first job of these newly recruited farmers and laborers is to transplant sea buckthorn trees.
You don’t even need to buy these seabuckthorns. You can dig a large number of them directly in the wild. They are really wild fruit trees that can be seen everywhere.
Of course, just let them work by themselves, no one can manage it, and Yanila is her guard, so she can't watch these people work every day, so Aila has to find another supervisor.
She couldn't supervise the work herself, and she didn't have suitable people around her, but Lucis had plenty of people.
So she unceremoniously went to collect the wool.
She also doesn't want those people under Lucis, and only asks him to help find a suitable supervisor, and specifically tells him that his ability is not good, but his character and character must be good, and he will not lie to others, nor will he be right at random.The people below waved their whips.
As long as Lucis gave orders for this little matter, someone would take care of it properly, and soon her supervisor came to report.
The new overseer is a middle-aged man who looks calm and honest, even a little dull. Ella met him and asked about the basic situation. This man was originally the steward of a small noble family, but he was fired because he offended his superiors.I didn't say much, but if I can pass Lucy's level and be sent to her, I think there will be no problem with the basic information.
Ella briefly talked about the salary and treatment, and told the new overseer named Harnett that if he did not do well, she would fire him at any time.
Ella took the papyrus scroll handed over by Ali: "No problem, we will sign the contract."
The contract was drawn up by herself, referring to the labor contracts in modern society, combined with the habit of Sathiya people in writing contracts, and included the due treatment, obligations and some possible situations, and it was clear at a glance, without anycontract trap.
Harnett is literate, although there are not many, but the contract is written in a simple and straightforward manner that he can fully understand.
It was the first time for him to see the employment contract, and he carefully read the above content clearly. The treatment given by the princess was the price of hiring a supervisor. This alone was enough to satisfy him, not to mention that it specifically wroteKnowing that every seven days he has one day to rest, if he chooses to work without rest, he will be paid more, and if he has to work during holidays, the salary will even be doubled, which is much better than the treatment of other housekeeperstoo much.
Harnett was surprised and pleasantly surprised. The owner of the house he worked for in the past was not generous. He only gave them two days of rest in a month, not to mention, and used various excuses to keep them from resting for nothing.Work, and later he offended the people above him, and the other party took advantage of the identity of the master's relatives to deduct his salary for various reasons.
Although Harnett knows that in her capacity, if she turns her face and refuses to admit it, even if there is such a contract in his hands, Harnett has no choice but to say that the contract really reassures him.Not a lot.
After the new overseer has decided on a candidate, Ella still has to go to the field to have a look in person to be at ease, so after the cattle officer came to tell her that all ten cows had recovered from their injuries, Ella was ready to go to the field to have a look.
The cow officer was amazed that the ten cows became obedient and docile after wearing nose rings. In the past, when these cows lost their temper, they refused to move no matter how much they beat, scolded and yelled.With a little force on the rope on the nose ring, even a small child can make them follow along obediently.
He boasted about it in front of Ella, as if it was a great feat, and he wanted everyone to know about it, so Lucis couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Lucis had always been interested in putting nose rings on the cows. Hearing that the cows were well bred, and hearing the bragging of the cow officer, the interested parents immediately went to try how the cows behaved.
And this time, he naturally discovered the benefits of putting nose rings on cattle.
In the eyes of the Sathyas, cattle are not so docile animals. They are easily stimulated and attack people, so they have almost no other uses except for raising them for meat.
But now a cow with a nose ring is easy to drive, and it seems that it can be used to carry goods and pull mills like a donkey, and maybe there are more uses.
Ella checked the wounds of the cows and made sure there was no problem, and gave the cow officer another reward.
This time Niu Guan didn't ask for it, but made a request to Ella nervously.
After seeing the effect, they also want to put nose rings on other cattle, so they want to ask Ella to agree, and if possible, they also want to ask her to teach how to wear nose rings.
The cow officials had discussed this matter in private for a long time, fearing that they would make the princess unhappy if they mentioned it. It was also the way they had seen her appease and mark the cow before, combined with various rumors about the princess, Make sure that Ella is really an approachable and benevolent princess before she dares to speak this way. If she changes to someone with an arrogant temper, I'm afraid he will be whipped for asking such a question.
But fortunately, things went as they expected, and Ella was very forthcoming with their request, explaining in detail the precautions for putting a nose ring on a cow.
She even said: "The previous slave was very skilled, maybe you can go to him for help."
Lucis simply decided to let the slave go directly to the ranch to work, and in the future he would put nose rings on the cows.
Even a slave can live a better life if he has a skill, not to mention that in Sathya, the boundary between civilians and slaves is not very clear, and changing from a slave to a commoner is just a matter of a word from the master.
The cattle officials thanked him and left. Ella turned to look at Lucis and asked, "I want to send the cattle and farm tools to the field tomorrow, so I can take a look at the situation over there, is that okay?"
In fact, Lucis didn't really want Ella out of the palace. The snake trainer hadn't been found yet, and the reason why there was an extra Ella at the end of this assassination has not yet been found out, so Lucis was very worried about Ella.Pull the safety.
But after he thought about it, he had now discovered the mastermind behind the scenes, and since the other party had used low-level conspiracies these few times, it was impossible to assassinate Ella openly and expose himself at this time.
So he finally agrees to Ella's going out, provided he goes along.
Not only to protect Ella, but also to see what are the uses of the custom-made farm tools. Ever since got to know Ella, she has brought him constant surprises. Lucis' instinct told him that this time must be a big one too.Huge surprise.
Early in the morning of the second day, when the sun had just risen and the temperature had not yet risen, she and Lucy set off. Ella's appearance was too special, so she wrapped her whole body up like the last time she went to the market, except for her eyes.They didn't show anywhere, and Lucis changed into an ordinary nobleman's dress. They brought a dozen guards, including Norris and Yanila, headed by the following chief guards, and the rest of Ayla's guard teamBoth the man and the maid stayed in the palace.
The vehicle they used for this trip was not a sedge boat but a single-masted sailboat big enough to hold everyone and their belongings. Ten cows and agricultural tools were also placed on the boat, and there were slaves in charge of rowing the boat.Staying on board doesn't move with them.
After the Inlula River swelled, many places that boats could not go to can now go, and although the river has risen, the flow rate of the water has not changed much. In addition, today is sailing with the wind, so the speed of the boat is faster than before.many.
Ella's field is located in an artificial lake outside Tanis. The artificial lake was still dry when went there last time. After these few days, the water level in the lake has not risen enough to allow a sailboat more than 20 meters long to sail.Enter, so they disembarked at a suitable place near the lake for docking, and walked to their destination.
Ella and Lucis walked in the front, and all the farm implements were put on the backs of the cows by the guards and fixed, while the ten cows were led away by them.
When passing by the artificial lake, Ella observed the situation in the lake. She had noticed that the deepest part of the artificial lake was about five meters, and the depth near the edge was more than one meter. At this time, only the center of the lake was filled with red.Because the river water is too turbid to see the depth clearly, but in the current situation, if you want to divert water from the river for irrigation, you need people to go down to the bottom of the lake to lift water.
Just like now, she can see someone fetching water inside. They are probably the farmers she invited, but what makes Ella wonder why there are children inside?
She shouldn't have employed child labor, right?
