Chapter 144: City of Cherry Blossoms
After the fields for growing food were developed, there were still some mountainous areas. Although they were not suitable for growing grains, they were suitable for growing some fruit trees.
Roland Hill has a different passion for planting fruit trees.
Maybe the sweet taste of the fruit is very charming, or maybe it is the fruit that you hold in your hand, which makes people full and satisfied. Watching the little fruit grow up slowly, there is always a kind of expectation and happiness.
Looking forward to the next season, looking forward to another year of harvest, and sharing this rich harvest with friends.
"What kind of fruit does Gavier like to eat?"
Carrying a skirt and carefully walking among the ridges, the noble girl raised her head and looked at the back in front of her.
"I don't particularly like or dislike fruit, as long as the taste is sweet, I can accept it."
"Sweet. There are so many choices." Roland Hill looked at the terraced orchard.
Although most of the land was given to the working people, she left this one for Gavier. If nothing in the territory no longer belongs to her, I am afraid she will feel a little lost and uneasy in her heart.
Although this piece of land is not big, it can also grow some fruits, not to mention the consumption of this noble girl, and also earn some pocket money.
"Then let's grow cherries." Speaking of which, Roland Hill's favorite fruit when he was a child was cherries.
Because there is a cherry tree not far from my hometown, but that kind of cherry is the kind of small light red cherry, small in size, with a sweet and sour taste.
Gavier agrees, she also likes cherries, perhaps because this mountain forest produces a small amount of cherries, so she is very familiar with it.
Under the careful preparation of Roland Hill, the improved cherry tree seedlings were planted one by one and planted in the mountain fields.
[Zizhi Mountain Cherry] (rare gold grade): The improved mountain cherry variety needs to grow in slightly damp and slightly acidic soil. It can slowly absorb the surrounding mana by itself, and slowly improve the surrounding environment to make it more suitable for self-growth. (No extraordinary fruit will be produced in the first three years, after that, fruit with extraordinary effects will gradually condense, and after nine years, silver-level extraordinary fruit will be condensed.)
The fruit can be used to make wine, eat, or make extraordinary potions to improve physical fitness.
Although this extraordinary crop is not very potent, the advantage is that it does not require much maintenance, and it will slowly improve the living environment on its own.
Gavier stood beside the knight, watering gently with a kettle in his hand, watching the soil under his feet gradually become wet, forming small pits.
"Is that enough?" she asked the grown-up beside her.
"Well, it's not bad." The girl under the mask nodded.
"Well done, Gavier."
"Thank you." A faint joy rose in Gavier's heart. This was her first time working in the fields.
Although it can't do any heavy work, some simple tasks seem to be fresh and interesting.
"Take care of it, it will grow up slowly." Roland Hill looked at the lush mountains, and a kind of expectation gradually rose in his heart.
After finishing the development of fields and orchards, Roland Hill also began to integrate the situation in the entire territory.
There are about 240,000 people in the Viscounty of Winlani, of which the capital is George Town, which is now renamed Shanying City. There are about 40,000 people living in the city, and there are 5 subordinate towns, each of which is about 10,000 to 20,000 people. On the left and right, around the town, there are scattered villages, dotted among the mountains, rivers, and fields.
The Winlani family is a viscount, and there are three barons under them. They are also the lords of three small towns. Now these three lords are staying in their towns and watching the situation. They have neither pledged allegiance to Gavier, nor violated rebellion.
A river flows from the northeast to the southwest, sloping through a large territory, Shanyingcheng is located on the north side of the upper reaches of the river, and the rest of the towns are distributed along the river downstream.
In the mansion in the city, a large map is spread on the table, and the managers of several viscounts are discussing their future goals.
"The barons in these three towns must be removed." Gu Huasi pointed to the three pieces of land with high interest on his face.
"It's definitely under our best management, where can we let them occupy these places."
"Cough, if this is the case, will it attract the attention of the military. After all, the lord's land will be taken away without a reasonable explanation." The two have the final say, and then they are nothing.
"Heh, how can the military care about such trivial matters now? They have already been transferred to Chixin Province to contain the princess of the red dragon." Gu Huasi is not a person with no information, so he understands the current situation.
"So, it's a very good time. As long as you give me three hundred warriors, I can easily win. In fact, 10 people will do, but maintaining law and order requires a little more manpower." He patted his solid chest, like a metal shock ring.
This powerful warrior of Sequence 6 is like a giant beast in a small place in the southern border, and it is difficult to find an opponent.
"What do you think, Lord Wuming?" Gavier looked at the silent knight beside him and asked softly, she would never express her opinion first, just follow the Lord.
"Unification is naturally good." A rusty voice started.
"But the name is important. Ultimately, we have to present the vision we envisioned, not just repeat everything from the past."
It is undeniable that the system of the empire also had glorious moments in the past, and that was the choice of the times.
But everything is changing gradually, and when the times have come to this point, something has gradually
No longer suitable, people need a new, more progressive social environment.
This is just like the old CPU is no longer suitable for running new-style huge programs, and the increasingly complex and changeable production relationship requires a more reasonable structure.
The imperial system in the past was suitable for simple farming work. The society was structured in the order of commoners-knights-nobles-high-ranking nobles-emperors. If we enter the industrial age, the people will no longer be limited to narrow land.
Society needs a large and educated population to carry out technical work, and various industries will continue to be refined and deepened, which cannot be solved by the simple imperial system.
Why did the ancient nobles reject certain new technologies and new industries, because this would shake the foundation of their rule and make the sacred halo on their heads fade.
When people gradually receive education and see the laws of certain things, they will naturally no longer believe in the so-called natural nobility, and the unreasonable past will become more dazzling and unbearable.
It's not that they are rebellious, it's just that they can't let their wisdom and reason be humiliated by such low-level tricks.
In the face of these new era people, what kind of world will you show them, so that they will be willing to believe and join.
Depicting the future is so important, because when everyone has expectations, they will work together, swinging down the hoe or wrench, and finishing the day's work.
Because of trust, all good things are born.
