Chapter 609: Anecdotes About Feces

Seeing the success of the flattery, Earl Du Weideng grinned and continued: "Because of this, I specially sent people to study the farming methods of these farmers in the kingdom, and asked them to summarize and improve them. If a more suitable method can be popularized in the kingdom, it is possible to increase food production by 30%!"

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

Charles II was a little surprised. He thought it was just a polite flattery, but he didn't expect that there was something real, so he immediately became interested. Naturally, Du Weideng would not miss this opportunity, and Xianbao also talked about his opinions on agricultural improvement. To put it simply, it is to let the whole people replace the current "two-field system" with the "three-field system" to increase land utilization. Reduce fallow area and increase yield.

This method has actually been used in a few areas of the kingdom for more than ten years, and it was not created or invented by Du Weideng. He just used data comparison and experience summary to confirm that this method is more reasonable, but from a national level, this is indeed a good policy. If it is implemented, national strength will inevitably rise.

After hearing this, Charles II immediately praised him, and he was a little more intoxicated by his decision: "The future of agriculture will be handed over to Earl Duvedon. Dare to innovate, and can really produce results." , it is the Karen Kingdom's luck to have such a minister...the future is a heavy responsibility, Earl Du Weideng must take good care of it!"

"For the glory of Karen Kingdom!"

Du Weiden's face was flushed with excitement, and the nobles who were entrusted with important tasks behind him were equally excited.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Charles II laughed and said that he would go back to accompany the child, and then returned to the tent on the other side.

Balancing the domestic situation has become an almost instinctive political method for him. The feeling of ease in everything made Charles II feel good. After returning to the camp, the eldest son was walking the horse, and he walked over to chat with the prince together.

"What do you think of this orc invasion?"

He reached out to touch his son's hair, and found that the other party was about the same height as himself, so he smiled and said something about the school exam.

"Father, did the orcs really leave Karen? Or will they return someday? The kingdom in the east of the mountains has been quiet for too long, and we don't know how they have changed over the years. If they become strong like Laximan, we will face The pressure is not small."

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, that's right." Charles II nodded: "So I have ordered the nobles in the north to organize a defense line. You must understand that the bull will move forward when the whip is whipped, and the threat of the orcs is in front of you. They will be really worried. In the future, those orcs will be dealt with after all, but under the premise of limited resources, we should first grab what we can,

That's the right way. "

"Father, do you mean Everta?"

"Yes, Efta is only the first step."

Charles II walked forward with his hands behind his back, indescribably high-spirited.

Inside the city of Elson, Baron Karen looked up at the blue sky above his head, and let out a helpless breath.

This is the second day after he arrived in Elson City. After the initial shock passed, he began to wonder if the owner of this city remembered his name. Personally name and invite the nobleman who came to Elson, even if his family has been ruined, and is now not as rich as the owner of the tailor shop across the street.

There are many nobles in the Karen Kingdom, and there are many families that have declined due to dilapidation. Ke Lun was a viscount, and his ancestral land was not much left by his father. Unfortunately, his father died in a duel with another nobleman...

This kind of thing is too common in the aristocratic circle, and the father's duel was for a bet, so most of the family wealth was divided up along with the bet, and all that was left to Karen was a pitiful dilapidated manor.

Although the manor is comfortable, in these years, unless there are big nobles with a stable territory, most people in power will basically choose to put themselves inside the safe city walls. Karen's manor outside the city was neither protected by city walls nor guarded by guards, so he was forced to flee his hometown after several bandits came.

But when he came to Tarun Town in despair to find a living, he was accidentally found by a few people who claimed to be from Elson City, and brought him here directly under the name of "high-paying job with food and lodging".

But when he came here, Karen found that the city lord who promised to talk to him never showed up. He asked people around for a long time, but he couldn't get an answer, so he woke up the next day. Decided to take a stroll in the city first.

Karen didn't think about leaving, because his board and lodging are currently free, if he leaves like this, he will starve to death on the way.

It is not a shameful thing to bend over for food. Karen tugged at his somewhat worn-out robes, glanced around, and carefully compared the differences between this city and other cities in his impression. Looking at it this way, he did find a lot of things. A doorway I hadn't noticed before.

The streets here are so clean that there is almost no sign of open defecation, as everyone settles their personal problems in a place called a "toilet".

Speaking of it, most modern people may not be able to understand... Most of the towns in the Karen Kingdom, including most of the nobles, have very primitive choices in terms of "excretion". No matter men or women, as long as you find a place where no one is around, you can have a good time. If you are farmers living in remote areas, it is understandable to be so casual, but many nobles often defecate directly in their rooms at home, and let their servants later to clean up...

As a result, when walking in most of the cities of the Karen Kingdom, it seems that there will always be a faint smell of feces in the nose.

As long as you are a person, you need to eat, drink, and scatter, but no one has ever thought about dealing with things like "feces" in a centralized manner. When Karen lived in the castle, the damp and dark room would always have that foul smell, but for everyone, there was nothing they could do about it.

Some nobles know to build a special house to excrete, but the solution of many nobles is very painful... Their solution is to prepare a few more manors and castles, and go to the next one when the feces produced by themselves cannot stay in one place. , and at the same time let the servants clean the room where they lived before...

The feces that can be seen everywhere on both sides of the city streets is no longer a new scene. Why do rich people in a city never like to go to the slums? Because there is no one to clean it, so after a long time, the smell is a bit spicy to the eyes.
