The results of the weighing were finally completed before dark.

There are almost 100 sharts of wheat land reclaimed in the entire pasture, and finally about 13 bags per 1 shart (a large bag of wheat is about 60 kg, and the yield of 1 shart is about 780 kg, and the average yield per mu is about 192 kg.) The output of wheat is one big bag higher than the output of Tanis 1 Schart 12 big bags.

That is to say, the land they managed and planted finally obtained more than 1,300 bags of wheat, which is twice the output of the most productive wheat field in the past, and even three times the average wheat output in previous years!!!

The stewards circled around the steward who was in charge of recording and repeatedly asked if they had made a mistake in their calculations. Although they had known the output of Tanis before, but when it was their turn, they felt complicated.The land over there is better than that of Tanis, and it is normal to produce more. On the other hand, how can such a production be grown by mortals?

"Even the Harvest God's land doesn't have so much wheat. Did you miscalculate?"

The steward in charge of the calculation was also not convinced: "Then shall we do the calculation again?"

"Yes, do the math again, but don't make a mistake..."

Everyone urged them to recalculate the accounts, and they were not idle, so they split up and counted all the sacks that had already been filled. In the end, all the sacks with good numbers were counted together, which was the same as the previous calculation.The number reported by the stewards.

The stewards who settled the accounts over there also recalculated twice, and this time they were elated: "I just said that I can't make a mistake in the calculation, this is the number!"

"It's indeed this number, I've counted it several times, and it's definitely not wrong!"

The figure is correct. Now everyone is really happy. Originally, they only thought that the final output would not be worse than that of Tanis and thank God. Now it is even higher. Although there is a reason for the land, it is also their hard work.No, as long as the result is reported, not to mention the ministers in charge above, even His Majesty will praise them!

And those slave tenants who had been eavesdropping on the sidelines to listen to the stewards also heard this, and finally confirmed that the output that could scare people to death was real, and it was not a joke story made up by someone!

After confirming this point, some people even burst into tears.

Compared with the stewards who thought about getting promoted and getting rich and being rewarded by His Majesty, their thoughts were much more simple.

As tenants, they are too aware of the importance of land output. After paying the tax, the food that they have worked so hard to cultivate in the past is not enough for the family to eat. During the flood season, they have to go fishing and hunting or find part-time jobsBarely supporting their families, but not everyone can do hunting and fishing well, and day labor is not so easy to find. Every year, some people unfortunately encounter powerful wild animals and die while fishing and hunting, and there is not enough food.It happened that young children were malnourished and tragically died.

But now, they have learned new planting techniques, they can grow food even in the flood season, and the output in the field is so much more than before. If they can grow wheat twice a year in the future, as of nowIf the land output is higher, they no longer have to worry about running out of food!

Most of the tenants are illiterate and can't count very well, but regarding their rations, they can still roughly calculate how long the food will last for their families!

How could they not weep at the thought of never having to fear that someone in the family would starve to death, or risk hunting wild in dangerous swamps.

This is tears of joy, and it is a farewell to the past days of hard work but still can only be lost!

And the slaves, who have always been more sad than the commoners, can understand their feelings very well. Although they can't get paid for working for their masters, and they can't own their own land, but these slaves are all villagers in Nadeli Village., Some of them are still living together with civilians. They may not be able to benefit from it themselves, but their families can.

And their current food is much better than before, and they can even save some to take back to their wives and children. If they continue to work here in the future, they will get this kind of food, and their life will be better than that of most slaves.better.

And this time it was really a bumper harvest. After the report, not to mention that everyone is likely to get some rewards, but now, after confirming that the numbers are correct, the stewards waved their hands and said that they would give them extra meals in the evening.

The slaves and tenants who work here can eat two meals a day, and the tenants can get another reward. Recently, because everyone is doing heavier work, the food is much better than usual, and even every meal can be eaten.Seeing some oil and water, but the steward said that there would be extra meals, no one would be unhappy.

After talking about the good news about the extra meal, the stewards got together to discuss the report.

According to the past situation, after the harvest of the land, they should report the output to the chief agricultural officer, but now they all report the things in the field to Her Royal Highness, so the output must be reported to Her Highness as soon as possible.

Of course, they had to report this kind of great news as soon as possible, but the managers felt that it was not enough to just report it like this.

"Recently, His Majesty was assassinated. Although he was not injured, he must be in a bad mood. Since we have such great news, should we make this process bigger so that His Majesty will be happy to see it?"

One of the stewards said: "This is not good. Before, Your Majesty ordered Tanis to keep it secret. Now if we make it too high-profile, His Majesty will not only be unhappy, but also angry?"

"That's right, those missions are still in Boiman. I'm afraid it will be bad if they find out?"

Originally, the missions of various countries were about to leave for their homeland recently, but the assassination of King Sathya happened. Several missions were involved, and a small number of important members of the bandit group were not found, and the gates of the city were sealed.Now, the mission can't leave even if they want to, not to mention that the most important purpose of their visit has not been achieved - because of the assassination, the deals that were originally being negotiated have been suspended, and the prescriptions and other things that were originally scheduled to be brought have not been obtained.How could they leave just like that.

The steward who said to make the scene bigger had a different opinion: "You also know why so many of us are sent to manage such a piece of land, right? Although there are reasons for His Royal Highness to need manpower, His Majesty let usAfter we got familiar with the planting process, we went to promote the new planting method for him.”

"Then how do you want to promote it? Tell other people to do this to get more food? Will they listen to us obediently?"

"It's good for the nobles to say that with His Majesty's order, they will definitely cooperate. Moreover, they have a wide range of sources of information, and sooner or later they will know how powerful this new planting method is."

"Will those civilians be willing to cooperate with us? Will they be willing to tend their fields according to our requirements?"

The steward spread his hands. Stewards like them who deal with the fields know how stubborn ordinary civilians who have not received education are sometimes.

Sometimes, if you don't tell them that it's for their own good, they will be willing to listen.

"That is the land that is related to their annual harvest. Even if we tell them that doing so can increase food production, they will think that the words of those of us who have never actually farmed are not credible."

Another steward interjected, "But we can prove it now. This harvest is the best proof."

"But it's just empty talk, who would believe it?" The previous steward asked back, and after scanning all his colleagues, he continued: "Don't talk about them, when we heard the news from Tanis,No one believes it either? This is even when our wheat fields have begun to fill and they look like they will have a good harvest."

"So I think it is time to take advantage of this opportunity to let them all see how much harvest this land can have after it is planted."

The steward pointed to the wheat field that had already been harvested, but there was still a stalk left: "When they see so much grain, if they still don't believe it, at least the farmers near the capital can come and see for themselves.It looks like a piece of land, but it’s only been a few days, and when you turn around, you won’t be able to see anything.”

The other stewards have actually been persuaded by him, but they feel that this matter is against His Majesty's order, and they should not make decisions on their own.

"I think this matter should be reported first, and then His Majesty will decide whether it is better to do so."

The steward who had been talking for a long time saw that other people were so cautious, so he couldn't insist on it anymore. His original idea was that if everyone agreed, then even if His Majesty was angry, it would be unacceptable, but since theyIf they don't agree, then he doesn't dare to force himself to face the possibility of being punished by His Majesty alone.

So it's finally settled.

Early the next morning, they selected two stewards to go to the palace to ask Ella.

Fortunately, although it is difficult to get out of the capital, it is still very easy to get in. Even after the current limit, the speed of entering the city is still much slower than before.

After they arrived at the city gate from the pasture on donkeys, they queued for a long time at the checkpoint of the city gate before finally entering the city gate.

"It seems that the atmosphere in the capital is not very good."

After leaving the city gate, the two stewards rode their donkeys again and walked slowly towards the palace, while exchanging information about the people who had just seen queuing up to leave the city.

Due to the need to harvest wheat in the fields recently, all the stewards have temporarily lived in the house on the ranch. It has been a while since they have returned to the capital.Thinking that so many days have passed, the interrogation will still be so strict.

One of the senior managers worried: "The censorship is so strict when we go out of the city, we won't be unable to get out later, right?"

The other steward didn't take it seriously: "What are you afraid of? We are going to see His Highness the Princess now. After seeing His Highness, please ask her to speak, and then we will go to the clerk in the palace to issue a certificate. It is not a one-sentence matter."

The one who was worried at the beginning also nodded in agreement: "It's true, we are doing things for His Highness, and no one will embarrass us for such a small matter."

"Actually, I also know a team leader who is guarding the gate. If it weren't for the current situation and asking him to help, why would I use His Highness Labor to help?"

While talking, they rode donkeys through the street of the city gate. Because there were too many pedestrians on the road, the donkeys could not run, and they had to block the passing ox carts, so they simply leaned on one side and walked slowly.I didn't notice that their words were casual and they didn't deliberately lower their voices. They happened to be heard clearly by a figure standing through the window in a nearby tavern that hadn't opened yet.

After the two passed by, the figure quietly opened the window a little, looked at the direction they left, pondered for a moment, and quickly disappeared by the window.

Unaware that someone was watching them, the two stewards rode donkeys all the way to the palace. They were also working in the palace, so they were qualified to enter the palace. However, they needed to report to the princess before they could approach the area where the princess lived.

Ella originally thought that there should be news from the pasture in the past few days. Even Lucy had specifically mentioned before that if they came to report, she would tell him. Now that someone is here, thinking about this time, Lu XisiSi should have just finished his morning exercise and hasn't gone to the court meeting - Sathya's court meeting time starts at 8 o'clock in the morning, instead of going to work at 5 o'clock in the morning like the ancient Chinese emperors - at this time, take time to see the steward shouldno problem.

She said to the maid who reported, "Let them go to His Majesty, and I will go there right away."

Just like Ella likes to have breakfast in the garden in the morning, Lucis also doesn’t eat breakfast in his king’s bedroom. He basically eats breakfast near the place of morning exercises, and then goes directly to the court meeting after a short rest, soElla can go directly there to find someone.

When she passed by, she saw Lucis sitting in the corridor under the tree and having breakfast, and when she saw her coming over, she asked her if she had eaten, and if she wanted to have some together.

Ella felt that this was a bit like the most commonly used way of greeting Chinese people when meeting each other. She nodded with a smile and said that she had already had breakfast, and then directly explained her intentions: "The steward from the ranch is here. He should be here to report the wheat production. YouDidn’t I say to tell you when they come, I’ll let them come and report to you directly.”

Lucis pulled out the cushion he was leaning on and put it aside, motioning for Ella to sit and talk: "Where are they?"

"almost there."

Not long after Ella sat down, the two stewards were brought over by Tetis.

After knowing that they were going to see His Majesty, the two stewards were very excited, and they were even more fortunate that they were the ones who came today. In the past, they had no chance to see His Majesty up close, let alone talk to him, so theyI was excited and worried that I would accidentally say the wrong thing later, so I kept drafting in my heart, thinking about how to get the words out smoothly, but don't stutter all of a sudden, it will not only embarrass me, but also leave bad things for Your Majestyimpression.

After seeing His Majesty the King and His Highness the Princess, before they could ask any further questions, the two stewards reported the good news of the good birth.

"Now we have 1,300 sacks of wheat piled up in our pasture, and the grains are so full that they are all used as grain seeds, which is perfect."

When the stewards said this, although they had already experienced it once, except for Ayla and Lucis, the expressions of everyone else present were in a daze, not to mention that many of the people present did not know the last time Tanis was there.of the reporting situation.

So they wondered if the manager accidentally said something wrong, and they looked very nervous.

But Lucis didn't think so, the steward handed over the record book to Lucis, and Ella had told Lucis before that the land condition on the ranch was better than Tanis' wasteland, and the last plantedThe probability of wheat yield is higher.

Now these are not even the highest figures. Modern one mu of land can grow 400-500 kilograms of wheat. Even before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it could reach 200 kilograms. Their numbers are still slightly lower, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

However, this is Ella's personal thought, and she has never said it outside. For others, the current output is already beyond their dreams.

As the stewards lamented, this is a yield that even the land of the Harvest God cannot achieve.

The two stewards saw that Lucis and Ella looked at the account books together for a long time but didn't say a word. One of them was a little impatient—this was the one who proposed to make a big scene——the steward couldn't help but said:: "Your Majesty, I don't know what we should do with these wheat?"

When he asked this, Lucis turned his attention to him, and saw that he had something else to say.

So he asked, "Why, can't the wheat be kept in the pasture?"

The steward couldn't hear his anger, so he shrank his head when asked, but still replied: "The main reason is that there is too much wheat, and the warehouse in the ranch can't fit it. A lot of it is piled up in the original sheep pen and cattle pen.If it is left for a long time, it will not be good if the wheat deteriorates."

Lu Xisi nodded: "That's true. I will send someone to bring the grain back later, and you just need to hand it over."

What the steward wanted was not this result. He secretly glanced at Lucis, then looked at the princess next to him, thinking that even if he said something wrong, he would not lose his temper if the princess was with His Majesty, so he boldly spoke again.: "Your Majesty, look, do we need to publicize the grain harvested this time?"

Lucis raised his eyebrows and repeated, "Propaganda?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The steward quickly explained, repeating what he said to his colleagues last night.After they know about their achievements, they will piously praise the greatness of the king and princess.

No one doesn't like to hear good things, even Lucis is willing to listen to the stories that bards sing about him occasionally, and the steward's proposal is indeed on point. Now let the people see with their own eyes what a real harvest is.It is indeed beneficial for them to promote new planting methods in the upcoming farming season, and ensure that from next year, Sathya's grain can grow in a large arc.

And the reason why he didn't want those missions to know before was that he didn't want them to focus on Tanis so that they wouldn't find the abundant crops like rice and potatoes.Keeping their eyes on the wheat field will naturally reduce the possibility of them changing their eyes to Tanis.

So in contrast, it is not necessary to continue to conceal those missions.

"What do you think?"

I think?

The steward raised his head secretly, only to realize that His Majesty was asking about His Highness the Princess, and quickly lowered his head again.

Ella was as convinced as Lucis, and she was more thoroughly persuaded: "His idea is very good, which is really conducive to the development of follow-up work." Even if this was done earlier, a group of people could be invited to theWitness the wheat harvest for yourself.

"Then let's do this, you go back and prepare, and someone will contact you later."

As for the promotion of this matter, there is no need for Lucis to order it personally, and someone will do it.

There is never a shortage of servants around Lucis. Although he doesn't like noise, but when he leaves the king's bedroom and office and is outside, under normal circumstances, the number of attendants following him is greater than the number of people around Ella.If there were a few more, the number of waiters would be doubled when he was eating alone, so they would stay far away when he wanted to be alone.

Now these people have all heard the steward's report. If Lucis does not order to ban rumors, but chooses to acquiesce, the news will soon spread throughout the entire palace and even the upper echelon of Sathia. After all, they can serve beside LucisPeople don't look like just servants, but they are actually born of nobles.

The people who work with His Majesty know what to say and what not to say, but as long as it is not directly about His Majesty himself, and they are not forbidden to speak out, they will reveal something in private, so they have also made friends with many nobles.The minister's temple sacrifices.

So as soon as Lucis said this, they knew that His Majesty allowed them to spread the news.

And this is indeed great news. The nobles have always had a lot of fields. To be able to make the land so productive does not necessarily require the fertile land irrigated by the Inrula River. You only need to make the slaves work harder, and you can get more land than before.There is several times more wheat, and it can be harvested from once a year to twice a year. No one would be unwilling.

Even they want to rent some land now and arrange a few slaves or tenants to cultivate it!

The two stewards left happily. Although His Majesty did not give any rewards, but because of this, they believed that there would be even bigger surprises waiting for them.

And it is indeed the case. Lucis originally planned to let them promote the new planting method, so after confirming the output, he planned in his mind to upgrade these people to a level and become the deputy of the chief agricultural officer, and then start from the delta to promoteNew way of planting.

Of course, such a small number of people is not enough, so the tenant farmers and slaves who are good at farming under them will naturally have to be arranged.
