The Dictatorial Lords - Chapter 252
Locke and Archduke Ellen went to the field managed by Lawrence talking and laughing.
As Oroz became bigger and bigger, Locke divided the business into two parts. One was the business department managed by Hal, which was mainly responsible for the management of the caravan and the sale of best-selling items, while Lawrence was responsible for agricultural production. aspect.
Splitting the Commerce Department into two parts makes it easier for both Hal and Lawrence to work. It can also effectively reduce some mistakes that should not be made.
Now the field has a gate, which is a fence made of wood, mainly to stop curious people from coming to watch.
At the gate of the fence, the guard saw Locke coming, and quickly put down the tea and got up. Salute to Locke.
Locke asked, “Where’s Lawrence? Ask him to come, but a distinguished guest is here today.”
“Yes, my lord.” The guard asked the person next to him to call Lawrence. Generally speaking, there are two guards. If someone has something to ask Lawrence, one should report to Lawrence, and the other will continue to guard the door. Of course, Locke is naturally not included.
Locke walked in with Archduke Ellen.
After walking for a while, you can see a lot of farmland. It is green, and such a scene is very rare in the Wegrit Wilderness.
Archduke Ellen saw this and said: “Locke, it’s a miracle that you can build such a field in a desert. As far as I know, for hundreds of years, many nobles have the idea of hitting the Wilderness of Wiglut. , have not succeeded, haha. You are still more powerful.”
Locke smiled. He secretly said in his heart: “This is the seed produced by the system, not to mention the desert. Even the desert can give you a living.”
Standing on the endless field, the group was filled with emotion. No, what tribe in the Wilderness of Wiglott has such fields? Still so full of life?
Just as Locke and his party were sighing, Lawrence trotted over and said, “Lord City Lord, why do you have time to come to me today. Haha, see it. I took good care of these farmlands, right?”
Lawrence turned to look at Archduke Ellen and asked: “This must be Archduke Ellen, right? Welcome, this is the food production base of Oroz. In the words of Lord City Lord, this place can produce whole Food that Oroz needs. Haha.”
When Archduke Ellen heard Lawrence say this, he asked curiously, “Well, Lawrence, hello. Why don’t you see serfs in such a big field? Don’t these fields need to be taken care of?”
The native Lawrence naturally knew what Archduke Ellen meant. Glancing at Locke, he replied, “The Grand Duke doesn’t know anything, we only need a few people to take care of our fields. Weeding and other things are also needed in the Wigrit Wilderness, haha. Also, I don’t want to plant now. Before. Now it’s all about replacing manual labor with machines.”
Seeing Lawrence talking about this, Locke said, “Well, Lawrence is right, these fields are all done with machinery. That’s the purpose of our visit this time.”
After Locke finished speaking, he turned to look at Lawrence and said, “Lawrence, this time I brought the Archduke to see how machinery is used in our fields. Are there still fields for replanting?”
Only then did Lawrence understand why Locke brought his guests here today.
“Yes, Lord City Lord, now we still have a corn field planting, behind. Let’s go. I’ll show you.”
Locke and his party followed Lawrence and walked inside again.
After walking for a while, after turning a corner, I saw this row of large steam machines spreading seeds.
Locke pointed to the planter and said: “Duke Ellen, this is our planting machine. With this kind of thing, whether it is digging the soil or planting, it doesn’t require too many farmers, just need to be able to operate these machines. Haha. These machines are so simple and easy to understand that an illiterate farmer can learn them in half a day.”
Archduke Ellen stood on the field ridge, looking at these busy machines, his eyes couldn’t help showing a look of love.
You know, every noble must know what the fields are like in their own territory. Now this scene has completely subverted the previous imagination of agriculture, such a large piece of farmland can do the work of dozens or even hundreds of farmers with just a few machines? Even Ariana, who was on the side, felt that if this machine was widely used in her own territory, you could imagine how rich the annual harvest would be.
You must know that not every field in the noble’s territory is planted with food, and some fields are vacant. The reason is very simple, that is, there are not too many peasants. Although the nobles have the final say in their own territory, there are other things in the territory that need to be taken over. Many people like farmers are unwilling to do it.
So the farmland among the nobility is done by some serfs. What is a serf? To put it bluntly, it is a commoner who cannot survive and voluntarily sells himself to the nobles as a peasant.
If there is something like this in one’s own territory to replace the serf, wouldn’t all the free fields be planted?
What Ariana can think of, how could the Grand Duke not think of it.
The excited Archduke Ellen took Locke’s arm and asked, “Locke, this is the agricultural machinery you said? It’s incredible. How did this deconstruction come up~www.mtlnovel.com~ This completely replaces Serf, I didn’t believe it when you said it just now. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I have to say that the steam machine you introduced by Oroz is really good. This time, whether it is the steam truck ordered by the king I also hope that you will allow this kind of machinery to cooperate with us. As for the price, you will definitely not suffer.”
Locke withdrew his arm without leaving a trace and said, “Duke Ellen, since I brought you here, naturally I am ready to cooperate. How about it? Look at the efficiency of these machines, haha. Usually it takes a few days or so to use manual labor. It took more than ten days for these machines to solve it in just one day.”
Grand Duke Ellen nodded fiercely and said, “I’ve come right this time. Haha, even if the king doesn’t plan to buy these things, all the fields in my Ellen’s territory must use these things. If I plant all the fields in the territory. If we provide food, then there will not be so many people starving to death in our country every year. Haha. Those commoners are full. They can survive well. The status of our nobles will be more stable. “
Speaking out about this kind of thing in person, Archduke Ellen obviously regarded Locke as a nobleman of his equal status. What do nobles do with their lives? Isn’t it to stabilize the status of the nobles in the world?
Zhang Zhao pouted slightly while listening. This is a rule that is even more disgusting than the Three Kingdoms era. Ariana’s eyes glowed, knowing that in Ellen’s territory, those commoners had a good life. In other poorly managed territories, the peasants at the bottom of society would starve to death every year.
If all the fields in Ellen’s territory use this kind of machinery, then large tracts of farmland can play their role.
