Chapter 46 The Magic Harvester Comes Out
It was probably because it had been held for a long time, and the rainstorm either stopped, and it lasted intermittently for half a month before finally stopping.
When the sky was completely clear, the sun showed all its long-lost honor, and when it shone hot for a whole day, people were stunned to find that the weather was no longer as hot as before, making people want to peel off their skins. layer down.
After all, it is the end of August, the last period of summer.
During this period of time, there was an excessive amount of rain, which promoted the last section of the wheat in the farmland outside Bangta City to grow wildly. Looking around, the golden waves rippling in the wind are truly spectacular.
For the Sainz Continent, a world where productivity is not yet developed, and cannot even guarantee everyone's most basic needs for food and clothing, annual food production is the top priority, no matter what country or anyone will harvest. Let go of everything in the day and go all out to harvest.
The Kingdom of Lampas is located a little southwest of the central part of the Sainz Continent. There are two harvesting seasons every year, of which the autumn harvest is the most important, so when the wheat fields are ripe, the kingdom is full of autumn harvests. No exception.
However, this year seems to be a little different from previous years.
In the western suburbs of Bangta City, a large piece of land is the territory of Viscount Leslie. Because it was planted a little earlier, at this time, nearly half of the fields have fully matured the wheat, and now they are hurrying to harvest.
According to the tradition of previous years, Viscount Leslie usually sends all the slaves under his name at this time, and at the same time, he also sends all his guards down to the farmland to assist in the harvesting, and even children are often involved.
After all, the harvesting of farmland is completely dependent on manpower, and if one more person can contribute, it means that the harvesting will end earlier.
Often at this time, everyone hopes that the sky will not suddenly rain continuously like before, otherwise, I am afraid that this year's harvest will be finished.
But this year is really different. Although Viscount Leslie led the servants of the Viscount House to sacrifice to the gods as in previous years, he did not immediately announce that all the slaves and servants would go down to the ground to start harvesting, and he took the lead in cutting off the first ear. Mai made a symbolic example, but stepped aside directly, posing a look of watching the fun.
This made the hearts of the nobles in Bangta City even more puzzled.
Originally, it was very strange that Viscount Leslie invited them to watch the harvesting ceremony of the Viscount Territory today. Now Viscount Leslie is like this again... What the hell is this Viscount Leslie doing?
Just when everyone was wondering, Viscount Leslie suddenly made a roar behind him, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Under the gazes of everyone, a strange looking machine rushed out from behind Viscount Leslie under the control of a strong man.
The appearance of this machine is very strange. The front end is a huge rectangular iron box. The front of the iron box is open, revealing what looks like an iron rake and plow that is constantly rotating with the roar of the machine. It looks very hideous.
In the middle of the machine is a huge iron shelf, which is covered with iron sheets, and there is a constant rumbling sound inside, as if something is constantly vibrating inside.
Below the iron frame are two huge thick iron wheels that are half a person's height. From the appearance, these wheels are obviously specially modified. Not only are the wheels as wide as a child's arm, but there are even more lines on them. The dent looks like it should be to enhance the grip of the wheel.
However, for many people, this is clearly superfluous.
Judging from the way the wheels are easily pressed into the field a palm-thick, the weight of this machine is probably a few hundred pounds at a minimum.
The end of the whole machine is simple, just two handles, just for the strong man to hold the control tightly, so that the machine can move forward normally according to his wishes.
"Viscount Leslie, what is this thing doing?" a nobleman standing next to Viscount Leslie couldn't help asking.
Viscount Leslie smiled slightly: "It's boring to say it, you'll know just by looking at it."
Hearing this answer, the surrounding nobles who were concerned about the answer could only helplessly refocus on the machine.
At this time, the strong man had carefully controlled this strange-looking machine into the farmland. He looked back at Viscount Leslie. Seeing Viscount Leslie nodded, he took out a white cloth from his pocket to cover his mouth and nose. Cover it, and put a cloth bag that should be used for food in an opening at the back of the machine, then reach out and press on something that looks like a switch on the handle, and the machine roars again, slowly moving towards Advance in the wheat field.
The nobles onlookers were taken aback. This machine looked so vicious, if it rushed over like this, wouldn't it have squashed all the wheat that had finally matured?
Even if the Viscounty of Leslie is big enough, there is only so much wheat he can grow, and it should never be wasted in vain.
Just as everyone watched in astonishment, the iron box at the front of the machine had already rolled in the outermost row of wheat in the wheat field.
The high-speed rotating iron harrow and plow mercilessly swallowed the wheat in one bite and disappeared directly into the machine.
There was a strange roar from the huge box of the machine, and after a while, several sharp-eyed nobles found that something seemed to be sprayed out of the opening at the back of the machine, and the originally empty cloth bag was stuffed.
With the continuous advancement of the machine in the wheat field, the openings at the back kept spraying something, and the cloth bags filled up little by little.
When the machine walked back and forth in the wheat field for two laps under the control of the strong man, the cloth bag had been filled, and the strong man stopped the machine.
Viscount Leslie waved his hand, and the two slaves rushed over from behind, untied the cloth bag from the machine, and put another cloth bag on it.
The strong man continued to operate the machine to harvest wheat in the wheat field, while the two slaves carried the full cloth bag to Viscount Leslie.
Without waiting for Viscount Leslie to signal, the nobles on the side had already gathered around.
A noble looked at it with a probe, and immediately shouted in surprise, reached out and grabbed a handful in the cloth bag, and suddenly grabbed a hand full of crimson wheat grains!
Seeing this situation, the other nobles who were onlookers couldn't bear it any longer.
The nobles couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the handful of wheat grains in their hands that were almost completely without husks.
"This...how is this possible? It's still the wheat straw in the field, why did it suddenly turn into wheat grains?" a nobleman muttered to himself.
"Yeah, how did you do this? Viscount Leslie, didn't you pack a bag of wheat to trick us into playing?" Another nobleman obviously couldn't believe it.
Viscount Leslie didn't bother to explain to them, and pointed to the machine that was still harvesting in the wheat field.
Everyone looked over, but saw that the machine had already filled the empty cloth bag just replaced.
When the two slaves carried the cloth bag over, everyone gathered around to take a look and found that the cloth bag was indeed full of wheat grains.
In fact, no one would believe that Viscount Leslie lied to them.
First of all, Viscount Leslie does not need to do this at all. Second, the nobles here have some understanding of the farmland. Naturally, it is clear that the wheat grains in these two cloth bags are obviously new wheat that has just been harvested. Viscount Sly took the former Chen Mai to deceive them.
But... how did this happen?
It was obvious that the wheat was still growing in the field just now, and it was swallowed all the way by that weird-looking machine, and then spit it out and turned into wheat grains?
"I said... Viscount Leslie, shouldn't this be a magical change?" A noble couldn't help but said.
Viscount Leslie laughed: "You're right, it really has something to do with magic. But it's not right to say that it's all magic. Have you heard of such a convenient magic?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, let me tell you, this thing is called a magic harvester, which is used to harvest wheat. How is it? After you have watched it now, do you have any thoughts?" Viscount Leslie looked around with interest. crowd.
Everyone looked at each other, and a nobleman rolled his eyes and asked with a smile on his face in front of Viscount Leslie: "Viscount Leslie, everyone is old friends, tell me, do you have many of these machines? Can you lend me two of them?"
Hearing this man, the other nobles around him immediately reacted.
"Yes, let me use it too. The wheat on my territory is also ready to be harvested. Your machine is so amazing, it's so easy to use!"
"That's right, everyone is an old friend, so lend it to me too?"
"What do you mean by borrowing? You cheap guys. Viscount Leslie, I don't need to borrow it. If you have more, just ask for a price and sell me two."
"Yes, you can sell it to me. With this thing, it will be much easier to harvest wheat. Looking at the speed, I'm afraid it will take only one hour to harvest this large piece of land, right?"
"I don't think I can use it for even an hour. I didn't say, this thing is very useful, Viscount Leslie, if you have more, sell it to me at the price, and I will buy as many as you have!"
"Baron Rover, you only have such a small territory, why do you buy so many machines? Besides, this machine is so amazing, I don't think there will be many. Viscount Leslie, you must sell it to me first! Don't forget , I lent you a hundred slaves to help you during the harvest last spring."
...
Seeing the enthusiastic appearances of the nobles around him, Viscount Leslie smiled, turned around and pointed to a person behind him.
"You can buy this machine if you want, but don't look for me, you should look for him. He still sold me this machine."
The nobles turned their heads in amazement and saw Xu Yi with a smile on his face.
That smile was as if a tiger who had been hungry for three days saw a huge pile of fat brought to its mouth.
