Kidnapping All Mankind - Chapter 271
Is it true that buckwheat has doubled its seed?
Over two steep slopes that cannot slip through the autumn, over a section of muddy waters, drilled through a branch of thorns, walked a long and winding valley, in front of the team, an open valley mouth finally appeared.
I can’t remember the number of times he exhaled heavily, and the messenger climbed to the slightly elevated Taniguchi as usual.
The vision suddenly opened up.
The familiar village of Akeli …
and many more!
The less familiar village of Akeli was imprinted in the eyes of the messenger.
“It’s true that buckwheat has doubled its seeds.”
After standing for dozens of seconds, Ante murmured this sentence.
No need to remind him.
When the messenger was in a daze, Cavalier Harvey and Cavalier Harvey were the two most experienced police officers on the team’s seat belts, two of the most savvy burdock helpers selected for healing cattle, and the legendary bee magic The five strong serfs brought in exchange, as well as the two little guys who came for a bite to change places, have already set foot on the only valley mouth in this village of Akeli that is connected to the outside world.
A group of twelve people, the first moment when they walked out of the valley, the first moment when they saw the village of Akeli, each of them was like Ante, and immediately opened their eyes involuntarily.
Facing the direction of the valley, there are six or seven pieces of scattered buckwheat fields with strange shapes, uneven heights, and narrow cramps. The most spacious piece can only accommodate two people working at the same time.
This is a very common situation. As long as the feudal agricultural society with low productivity is not banned by the lord, every land that can be cultivated, or has the opportunity to be cultivated, will be developed as a source of food as much as possible.
Of course, it is limited by water, soil, fertility, distance, safety, labor efficiency, etc … No matter in which village, such a place is the one that is the least valued and the least labor-intensive.
In the impression of Knight Harvey and others, the buckwheat grown in this kind of land will always be overgrown with ground, the thin and twisted stems will always be in the middle, and the withered leaves will always be on the top. The place that the farmers pay attention to will always be only a dozen, or even a few pitiful dried buckwheat seeds.
At this moment, the six or seven pieces of simmering buckwheat fields appearing in front of Knight Harvey and his team. The ground weeds are still growing, the thin stems and branches are still there, the withered leaves are still there, and even the dryness of buckwheat seeds is still the same …
The only difference is that the top of these buckwheat and the number of buckwheat seeds, which is the data most valued by farmers and the aborigines of the Middle Ages, are not the same at all!
The buckwheat seeds on the top of almost every buckwheat plant in the field of buckwheat in front of Harvey Knight and others are far beyond, much more than what they have seen in similar fields.
Far beyond, far beyond means: Harvey Knight and others, for a while, could not even convert the appropriate multiple in their heads!
The sense is so obvious because the seed setting rate of these buckwheat fields has even reached sufficient water, fertile soil, and care … to the seed level of the best buckwheat fields in a village!
At this moment, the sun was just right. The illiterates in the Harvey Cavaliers had no contact at all and could not understand any so-called rhetorical methods. However, they could naturally feel:
These strange weird land shapes, barren land with weeds, twisted and dry thin stems and branches, and withered yellow leaves, they are still a little dry, but the abnormally abundant buckwheat seeds are very bright! Extraordinarily beautiful! Especially touching!
For a feudal agricultural society, “multiple fruits” is undoubtedly the most touching and supreme beauty in itself!
Anyone in the feudal agricultural society will fall deeply for such a beauty:
“Buckwheat doubles seeds, is it true?”
“Buckwheat doubles seeds, it’s true …”
“Buckwheat doubles seeds, it’s true!”
Unbelievable suspicion gradually went over to murmur, silently murmur gradually turned into a certain emotion, and finally synthesized a neat, exhilarating, shocking, uncontrollable admiration:
“It’s true that buckwheat doubles the seeds !!!”
After neat admiration, the eyes of the crowd naturally turned to the source of double seeding.
Every serf, police officer, burdock helper, even two little guys who followed the Harvey Knight, and the Harvey Knight themselves, were all veterans familiar with farm work.
Regardless of the water source, soil quality, fertility, distance, safety, and even the attendant care on weekdays, these buckwheat fields are in the village led by Knight Harvey, other villages led by Baron Archford, and even dominated by the glory of Rong. There is no essential difference in the village.
So, the only reason that can double and multiply the seeds of buckwheat is definitely-it can only be between these few pieces of buckwheat field.
Everyone looked up and looked at the place, the few honeycombs hung high on the wooden poles that were standing upright.
Sigh, envy, yearning, expectation, piety …
With all sorts of complicated emotions, until the opposite side of the valley, the green smoke that entered the villages, until several strong, vigilant police officers appeared at the foot of the mountain, until the messengers and police officers of the village of Akeli stood In front of a group of men from Harvey Knight’s collar, most of these people’s eyes remained on the honeycomb.
Confirm identity, ask for intent, check items …
A series of standard procedures for foreigners to enter the village have been completed, and it is already an hour and a half later.
Walking down the hillside connecting the outside world, and truly entering the village of Akeli, everyone quickly saw another scenery that was completely different from other villages in the Middle Ages:
What a smooth road!
What a neat ditch!
As we all know, the village’s natural dirt road has hardly any hardening process, nor can it be maintained. Between day and day, year after year, the sun and rain continue to experience the cycle of scorch, dry cracks and mud subsidence. .
Whenever it rains, villagers, especially those with large animals and cars that need to be more carefully cared for, tend to be in awe of the marshlands, trapped dirt roads, and logically “carelessly” step on them. Crop fields along the approach roads pass on these fairly hard and relatively safe roads.
In the same way, in order to protect the hard-earned fruits of labor from being trampled on, the owner of the share will naturally dig next to the road and in the share close to the road. In order to stop pedestrians, large animals, and vehicles from occasionally “careless”.
To get rich, build the road first.
Although the Middle Ages and the standard industry era, the famous slogans involving logistics speed are completely irrelevant for the time being, but even just for the safety of Wu Qingchen’s usual walking, the Earth team has long been deeply concerned about the bad road conditions of the Middle Ages. Annoying.
Taking advantage of this roadside artificial honeycomb operation, the Earth team took the opportunity to plug road standards and ditch standards into it, and used the yearning and awe of the villagers of Aikeli for the honeycomb, forcing the villagers to volunteer for more than a month. Almost all of the free time, the main road and the main ring road of the village of Akeli were finally reached—for the earth, the person in charge of construction is not too negligent and can barely fight for a probation—but for the medieval world In other words, it is neat, clean, and standard to appalling standards.
The potholes on the road surface and the gaps on the sides have been filled with slime; the road as a whole has several strong cows dragging heavy wood back and forth to tamp it back and forth; referring to the design method of the earth, the center of the road is slightly raised to facilitate drainage; the top of the road is paved with a Layer of small crushed stones, improve wear resistance and friction …
“厶 丫 入 … 安特 …… & @ ¥% ……”
Harvey Knight admired with admiration this rare high-level road in the Middle Ages, and the voice of conversation suddenly heard beside him.
Harvey Knight turned his head and saw that the sender of the village of Acre was talking with his own. The sender of the village of Acre seemed to be explaining something, and Ante nodded again and again.
After a long series of conversations, noting the knight’s inquiry, Ante trot came over.
“Master, Pamela …” Ante pointed to the sender in the village of Akeli, saying that this was what the other party meant: “… there are honeycombs just buried on both sides of the road, it is best not to alarm them, I hope everyone will wait I can walk a little in the middle of the road. “
“Well.”
This was a very reasonable request, and Harvey Knight nodded.
“Then … let me tell everyone?”
“Um.” Knight Harvey nodded again.
Ante turned and walked towards the crowd.
Waiting for Ante to explain, and ready to lead the people into the village, Harvey Knight once again said: “Wait a minute …”
Ante turned his head.
Immediately, in the eyes of Ante’s surprise, and in the eyes of the Cavaliers leading everyone’s surprise, Knight Harvey turned over and dismounted: “Let me walk in the middle too.”
“Okay.” Ante grabbed the master’s war horse and was ready to take another step.
“Wait a second.”
Immediately thereafter, in the more surprised eyes of Ante, and in the even more surprised eyes of the knight leader, Harvey knights took the leather armor of the war horse, the warhammer hanging on the saddle, the sword, the whip, the kettle, the long dagger … Remove the items one by one, put them into the hands of the police officer and burdock helper, and then take out a few soft cloths from his arms, wrap the horse’s hoof one by one, and then caress the horse’s neck with satisfaction, and ask Ante Explained: “Now, let’s go.”
Walking behind the horse, watching the horse’s light footsteps, no harm to the road, Harvey Knight nodded slightly and satisfied again.
Harvey Knight has been accustomed to bad road conditions on country roads since his memory, just like bad days, bad worlds, bad countless other things, long time, endless, and ancient.
Harvey Cavaliers worked hard, many times, even from the beginning of his father’s father, but hardly made any changes worth mentioning.
Harvey Cavaliers thought that this was so-called instinct.
Until you see the buckwheat fields at Taniguchi, Akeli Village, and the road to the village of Akeli.
The Harvey Cavaliers suddenly discovered that these instincts were badly destined, and did not seem to be as strong as they thought.
Unlike the ignorant villagers who only know how to sigh, countless painful attempts, experiences, sights and sentiments let Harvey Cavaliers know how difficult these changes are and how much luck and hardship they mean.
Because of this, it is needed, and it is worth cherishing even more.
