Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 7

The ruby ​​was found in the animal skin bag of the goblin leader. As a warrior, Ross could clearly feel the strong fire magic energy inside. He naturally understood that this is the favorite thing of those magicians, and it must be of great value. thing.

As long as it is something that group of mages like, there is no cheap one.Luo Si personally estimates that this gem is worth at least 100 gold coins, and the actual price is definitely not low.

But what can be done?

Ross sounds like the head of a village, a true warrior.But he is only a first-level martial artist. If he dares to sell this gem in Poper Town, not to mention how much it sells for, it is absolutely impossible for them to return to the village.Even if someone is desperate, they will attack them in the town, and there are even greedy people who will attack their village.

Now, taking the gems as the reason and dedicating the gems to the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture at the same time will not only solve the seed problem, but also gain the friendship of the temple, so why not do it.

Sure enough, when Pastor Holp heard that what Ross needed was less than one-tenth of the value of the gem, the smile on his face became even wider: "This village chief, what's your name? Are you a professional?"

"Dear Pastor Holp, my name is Ross, Los Terrass. I am a warrior!" Ross said respectfully, while silently mobilizing the few fighting spirits in his body.

"Oh!" Pastor Holp became more interested now. The young man in front of him is not only the head of a village, he has become a warrior at a young age, and more importantly, he is so "pious" to the goddess. Of course he didn't mind helping out: "The great goddess of agriculture has granted your wish, and the seeds you need will appear in your village in ten days."

"Praise the great goddess, thank you Pastor Holp!" Ross smiled contentedly.

Ross left with the militiamen contented, and Pastor Holp happily walked into his house behind the temple with the gem in his hand, planning what he should exchange for the gem to improve his strength.

Solved the problem of the largest seed, and did not need to transport it by himself, which greatly reduced the various risks that would occur on the way back. Ross gave everyone a holiday, and then took Carl to make a big purchase.

25 brand new long knives; 15 long spears; 10 longbows; 10 cattle (Kobolds attacked and killed a quarter of the cattle in the village); a large number of commonly used herbs (medicines have a short shelf life and are expensive , there is no doctor in the village, so I can only make medicine by myself); five plows; two carts of miscellaneous grains; Lost all the copper coins on Ross.

That night, Ross and his party slept in the thatched hut of the Old Myron Hotel for a price of one copper coin for two people.When the town gate just opened the next day, Luo Si led the motorcade back to the village facing the rising sun.

After successfully returning to the village, Ross immediately joined the spring plowing team.

Although this world is still supported by agriculture, it may be a world of high martial arts, so the upper class doesn't care how the lower class lives and works, so agriculture is still at a relatively backward stage.

Although they already know how to cultivate intensively and build new water conservancy, they still use the mode of rotation and fallow, and they don’t know how to fertilize to supplement the soil. Therefore, the yield of wheat is basically 200-300 catties per mu, 400-500 catties of corn, and potatoes. About 700 catties.

Throughout the winter, Luo Si used various methods to urge the villagers to make organic fertilizers, but the villagers have been farmers for a lifetime, and they consider themselves experts in farming. How could they listen to a young boy, even if he is The village head is not good either.

There is no way, Ross can only lead by example, and then let the facts speak for themselves.

Counting the land of his deceased father (100 mu of tax-free land for the village chief) and the land of his second brother, the Luos family has a total of 220 mu of land.

It took me and my mother eight days to level and fertilize the 220 mu of land with the help of the villagers.

Everything is ready, waiting for the seeds to arrive and sow.

Early in the morning of the tenth day, Ross and his people waited on the road in front of the village.

To be honest, Ross was still a little nervous. After all, it was said that there were real gods, and the priests of the temple would not lie. You could tell from the calmer expressions of the villagers than him.

But, after all, this is the first time I have dealt with the temple, because the purchase of seeds can be regarded as offending the grain store in Pope Town. If Pastor Holp deceives himself, more than half of the land in the village will be abandoned this year. up.

Just then, a sharp-eyed villager saw the convoy approaching from a distance, and shouted excitedly: "Come here!"

Ross hurriedly looked forward, and saw a man wearing a full set of knight armor, riding a tall horse and leading a long convoy towards the village. The flag of the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture was flying over the convoy.

Perhaps seeing the cheering villagers, the leading knight urged his horse to gallop over first, then stopped steadily in front of the crowd, and got off his horse.

"Hello! I am Morton, the guardian knight of the Temple of Agriculture, and I am ordered to escort the seeds!" The knight walked to the leader Rose Geng and said flatly.

"Thank you so much!" Ross grabbed the hand of Moulton Knight with both hands and said, "Moulton Knight, you came too timely." But he was secretly shocked by the strength of this casual and solemn knight in front of him In my perception, I am not the knight's opponent at all.

Then a convoy of five carts drove into the village, and Ross arranged for people to unload the seeds and count the quantity.

Knight Moulton suddenly called Ross aside, and solemnly handed him a bag of seeds and a book: "This is something that Pastor Holp asked me to give you, please handle it properly. .”

Ross was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this should be the method given to him by Pastor Holp to increase the planting area and production of licorice grass. He took the things solemnly, and Ross slipped a small bag of silver coins to Knight Morton.

Morton Knight smiled satisfied when he heard the sound of silver coins colliding.

Soon, all the seeds were counted and unloaded. After Ross signed his name on the handover form issued by the temple, the Moulton Knight led the team back to Poper Town without any nonsense.

"Village Chief, these seeds are so full!"

"Yes, it is worthy of being produced by the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture. This year must have a bumper harvest!"

~
As soon as the convoy left, the villagers chatted excitedly.

Ross stepped forward to check the seeds of wheat, corn, and potatoes (sprouting potatoes) one by one, and found that these seeds were extremely full. If you feel carefully, you can even find a kind of life energy flowing inside.

It is truly worthy of being produced by the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture. The germination rate and survival rate of such seeds can be at least [-]% higher than that of the seeds prepared by the villagers before. If the harvest is carefully taken care of, the harvest can be increased by at least [-]%.

This made Ross very happy, and it seemed that he had made the right bet.

It is different from other villagers who sprinkle corn and potatoes into the plow grooves with a little space.

According to the scientific and efficient planting method popularized by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the last generation, Ross adopts the method of point planting for corn, with an interval of [-] cm before and after. Because he is not at ease, two to three corn seeds are planted in each deep hole.

Potatoes are planted in ridges. When cutting potatoes, make sure that there is a sprout on each piece of potato, and then place a piece of potato at an interval of three centimeters. The two rows form a ridge. Cover the top with soft soil mixed with organic fertilizer to form a sprout above the ground. Ten centimeters of soil ridge.

This method that takes a lot of time is seen by the villagers, but few people agree with it. Only Thomas, who is very convinced by Ross, and Bruce, two friends who have played since childhood, persuaded the family to follow the method of Ross to mix potatoes and corn. Plant.

It has been more than a month since spring plowing of tens of thousands of acres of land in Stan Village has been completed.

The spring rain fell from the sky in time, nourishing every inch of land in nature and sending precious water to the seeds in the land.

The villagers who were busy cleaning the irrigation ditch laughed loudly in the spring rain. The seeds have been sown, and there is timely and sufficient rain. This year must be a good harvest year.
