The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 126: The Transformation of Whea

The rotation system is not important for villages or cities with small population densities, but land around large cities is scarce, and is tantamount to wasting land if the system remains in place. There was a large amount of grain imported from other cities every month for places like Silver City, Fallen Dragon Ridge and King’s City.

The first step to using human and animal fertilizers is to collect them. This was the reason why Roland decided to build a common WC as soon as possible, and it would also help reduce the spread of the disease and beautify the living environment. What a multipurpose solution. The WC was almost finished by the time the other personnel arrived. Regarding composting and sowing, he decided to choose some experienced farmers and teach them one-on-one. After all, the land is still in the cleaning stage, so it will still take another week before it can start planting.

After completing the task at hand, he decided to take a look at the trial grounds of Leaf in the castle's backyard.

Since Leaf began to study and improve various types of seeds, all planting areas in the backyard have been planted with plants. He also followed Roland's advice to divide the flower pond into sections and number them to compare the development of the two groups of trial plants.

As Roland stepped into the backyard, his eyes were blown away by the trembling cluster of golden wheat.

“Yang noble.” The leaf, crouching near the flower pond, stood up, combed her hair near her ears and bowed to pay her respects.

“Is this all the result of your upgrade?” He waved his hand to tell her not to be too polite, walked forward excitedly to hold a lot of wheat and felt her complete caryopsis with her fingers.

He did not know where the wheat would grow, however, compared to the wheat fields in King’s City in his memory, the wheat was not only smaller than the one in his palm but also the particles were not too full.

Leaf nodded and said, “First, I let the wheat grow big and then I planted a new seed into the flower pond. After hastening and harvesting the seed several times, such wheat can be obtained. But ... I am not sure why it is difficult to get a long and large wheat again after repeating the process two to three times. ”

Unfortunately, I cannot help in this aspect, Roland thought. According to poor first-school biology knowledge, it might be due to a self-disability? The rice that is usually grown in the southern regions is much different from wheat. To increase productivity, seeds are purchased. However, it had already reached its practical value if it could last for two generations. A wheat can produce more than 130 seeds and the first seed group is changed by the Leaf, the second seed group is given to the farmer as a self-stored seed that can be used for at least two years.

“How about this one, why empty?” Roland watched the flowerbed area with only a little bit of withered wheat. ”

“I planted there in the beginning, and maybe I have planted it too often,” Leaf spoke with uncertainty, “Wheat can quickly grow if I let out magic power, so I can, but the wheat would quickly wither once its magic power subsided. ”

It seems that in order for the magically altered plant to continue to grow, it still needs soil nutrients and some elements are still important. Roland walked towards the last flower bed where the shape of the wheat planted was very strange. There were several groups of cyan grain grains hanging from stalks that were as thick as an arm, and there were several branches sticking out in the middle of the stalk. The branches are covered with green leaves. Therefore, the size of each grain was much larger and there were only two planted in the flower bed.

This is the revised version that Roland asked Leaf to produce with magic power — Small Wheat Trees.

Roland had the idea to plant wheat like a banana tree, fruiting from a branch, and, harvest annually to reduce piracy and breeding problems and also produce larger and greener leaves that can increase photosynthesis and reduce dependence on soil. . The sturdy wheat straw and its branches took up little of the place it is today. In addition, wheat only grows from the shoots and does not fit the original idea. “Perhaps, have Leaf fix it in the direction of grapevine?” Roland thought, “After all, he had never seen a banana tree before and wine was not a rare product in the Kingdom of Graycastle, and it would be easier for him to imitate it with available samples.”

“Seeds of three oats can not be used for sowing,” says Leaf, “I have tried, but the seeds do not sprout after planting. However, it bears fruit repeatedly and the wheat you see now belongs to the second generation. ”

“Not budding means each wheat tree is a unique presence that requires the Leaf to change manually and is not worth planting at this time.” “You have done a good job. Just name the Golden Ones wheat. I will make a field test for you on the south bank of the Redwater River, surrounded by a fence and covered by a bulkhead. You can speed up the maturation process of a batch of Number One Gold as quickly as possible for spring planting this year. ” Roland ordered, “Regarding the garden, it will continue to be used to improve new species, and I just got a lot of ideas, not only for wheat crops but also for grapes.”

Prince Roland lit a bonfire beside the Redwater River at night and ordered Carter and the guards to collect the slaves. A large pot was sent here by his people and installed on a simple clay stove to cook porridge.

Staring at their new master whose back was facing the fire, his narrow long shadow was reflected by the flames, the slaves bowing their heads in fear. There were some brave ones who secretly peered at Prince Roland from time to time.

Roland stood in front of the bonfire and the crowd of over 1,000 people, to announce the rules he had set.

“I am Roland Wimbledon, Fourth Prince of the Kingdom of Graycastle, Lord of the Border Town and Ruler of the Western Region!”

“I've gathered you all here to let you know that you are lucky to come to this domain! As long as you work hard, you can get rid of your current identity and status!”

“Yes, I will give you the opportunity to get rid of the identity of a slave and become a free man!”

The slaves suddenly became a commotion. The slaves were well aware of what it meant to be free people. They will no longer be subjected to cruelty by their owners and will no longer have to be forced to do relentless farming. All the crops produced in the fields no longer had to be handed over to the master, and their sons and daughters could also leave the identity of the slaves behind them.

Roland waited for a while and continued saying, “From tomorrow onwards, each of you will be assigned to a plot of land where someone will guide you on how to farm to grow more wheat. In the first year, you have to give up 70% of your crop and you can keep the rest. The servant of the best harvest will be promoted to a free man! ”

“After you become a free man, your family can be freed from slavery, and you can decide whether to continue farming or look for other ways to sustain your life in the city. If you choose to continue farming, 20% of your crop will have to be turned over to pay for the rent. The remaining 80% will be available to you. If you choose to find another way to sustain your life, you must return the field to God, and, of course, there is also no need to give up any food! ”

All that could be heard was the sound of breathing until someone suddenly shouted, “Your Majesty, is what you said true?”

“Of course,” says Roland word for word, “As a king, I will never cheat my people.”

“Your Highness,” someone could not help but shout softly and soon there were cheers that quickly became louder. “Live, Your Majesty!”

A slave in the first row started kneeling in front of the cheering crowd, followed by the second and third …

Suddenly, all the slaves knelt down, the sound of cheers continued to grow. The voice of the people was finally combined into a single rhythm. “Your Highness Loving!” “Long Life, Your Highness!”

“Because there is an echo, there is no need to prepare an actor,” thought Prince Roland.

He clapped his hands and ordered the guard behind him, “Come eat!”
