Chapter 877 The Beginning of the Third Era 2953!
Chapter 886 The beginning of the third era in 2953!
I have to say that Roland overestimated the agricultural technology level of Middle-earth and Lagrande, and underestimated the craftsmanship of the ancestors! In the eyes of those country bumpkins in Middle-earth who can only rely on the weather for food, China's advanced agricultural technology can be called art! In fact, before the innovation of agricultural tools caused by the Industrial Revolution, the most advanced agricultural technology on the earth was in the hands of China! You can not believe in the wisdom of the ancients, but you must believe in the strict selection of the nine clans of the ancestors!
Although Roland is not a farmer, the farming gene in the bones of China is still awakened at this moment! With the memory of watching TV before and the knowledge accidentally seen in the book, these "primitives" who can only farm roughly can be beaten in various ways! No wonder the crop yield is like a disaster! Civilizations that do not know how to cultivate carefully rely on the mood of God for food. Not to mention that ancient China also relies on the weather for food, but they at least emphasize that one person can conquer nature, unlike Middle-earth to start directly!
However, what Roland did not realize was that he once again profoundly influenced the entire historical process of Middle-earth! The method of composting has spread to other areas in the North, and even the curved plow has begun to be used on a large scale in the Valley State and the Kingdom of Akvia. However, even if Roland knew about it, he would not say anything. After all, these things that basically have no technical content can be learned by others just by looking at them a few times. Besides, Roland could not close the country or let those who saw it kill them all!
Moreover, Roland deeply understood that tools are just tools. He is a creation to assist manpower! What is truly advanced is management knowledge! Although the four words "fine workmanship" are simple, no one can summarize them specifically!
As long as the grain seeds are sprinkled on large tracts of wasteland, the rest is to let them grow naturally! Although it is a waste, he realized that this is just the normal operation of Middle-earth when he saw everyone's serious look... After all, if farmers can't point out the technology tree of high-yield crops, then fortunately they point out large-scale planting! Going for quantity instead of quality has become the key to the development of the people of Middle-earth!
Although it is okay for other kingdoms to do so, it does not mean that Raglan can promote it so recklessly, because the area it controls is limited and there are few suitable soils! Compared with countries like Gondor Rohan, Raglan controls too little land and cannot withstand such waste and tossing! Intensive farming becomes the best choice!
…
"Cow? That thing can be used? Your Majesty is crazy again?" Yun Feng was immediately dizzy when he saw that the livestock prepared for spring plowing in the Rapid City were replaced with cows. He knew it was the king's idea. After all, Roland was known as the idea king of Raglan! He can live, but he can't die!
"There is also a demonstration of how to tame a cow!" Joelstya opened the magic transmitted by Raglan and saw that there was a taming technology in it!
"Go to Queen Nyx to borrow troops! This thing needs our own people to handle!" Joelstya narrowed his eyes and looked at the central control mages who were eating melons around him. The light in his eyes was a little dangerous, but he shook his head afterwards. Nyx had loyal family soldiers, and those soldiers could learn this craft!
The mages who didn't know that they had walked back and forth between life and death several times were blasted out by Yunfeng with confusion. They didn't know that Joelstya, who saw this technology that was enough to change the lifestyle for the first time, had already thought of silencing them.
"Bison can actually be domesticated! You can save money again!" Joelstya patted Yunfeng with relief, which made Yunfeng, who was always frowning, put on a few smiles. This problem actually appeared a long time ago, but the scale was too small at that time and no one thought about it carefully. It can only be said that the good years were completely Yunfeng's burden!
The main reason why Roland did not receive this information before was that Yun Feng had solved the problem through his own governing ability. However, Yun Feng's equal distribution of cattle and horses could only resist for a while. The contradiction was only buried and cooled down, but it was not completely solved! (Otherwise, everyone likes capable cattle and horses!) As Roland opened up the eastern land and Yun Feng stayed to govern the western land, the east gradually revealed this huge problem!
It is obvious that Adolf Heinrich's governing level is indeed not as good as Yun Feng, or the strongest internal affairs auxiliary position in the kingdom has been swayed to the Rapid City... Then the bitter fruit appeared. Although Adolf Heinrich has the ability to assist in handling government affairs, he can only act step by step after leaving Roland's guidance. This conservative characteristic destined him to be unable to govern independently!
However, Roland still has to thank the problem that occurred this time, otherwise he would have been kept in the dark! He preconceivedly brought Middle-earth into the ancient Middle Ages, and outrageously used China as the coordinate system! This made him think that cattle in the North were as scarce as in ancient China. It was true that oxen were rare, but his wild cattle were everywhere!
If Roland hadn't pointed out the technology tree of the nose ring, Middle-earth would probably still be playing the game of pulling horses to plow. It can be said that Roland's small ring has made a big step forward for the civilization of Middle-earth!
"Spring is coming soon! Spring plowing is a big deal! All commanders, take charge of your officers and soldiers! Orcs like to appear in spring and autumn! Don't pin your hopes on your allies in the north! I always treat the defense line there as a sieve!" Roland knocked on the table. Orcs will appear in spring and autumn to hunt for grass in the valley. Although the probability of orcs appearing in the Lagran City area is very low, it is definitely not impossible! The northern defense line is the "iron wall" cast by the dwarves, but Roland has never been optimistic about this "wall"! The scarce population of the dwarves means that they cannot intercept the flexible and mobile enemy forces. It is normal for those orcs to wander down to the warm and prosperous south.
"By the way! Let the satellite towns around Lagran City be on guard! I don't want any more news about orcs breaking into villages and towns to massacre! I don't want to lose face in this matter, understand?" Roland said solemnly. After being successfully raided by orcs once, Roland knew how disgusting those sticky candies were! So he greeted everyone in advance, and this spring plowing needs to be well prepared to ensure safety and stability!
"Hello! Third Era 2953!" Looking at the almost invisible snow outside the window, Roland stretched out his hand to feel the temperature of the late winter, and then whispered.
...
"It's so convenient, Your Majesty! Those cows are simply amazing!" Darien Nightblade quietly stood out from the light behind Roland. He just looked at the cows with nose rings. The originally grumpy cows showed a well-behaved performance that surprised everyone under the influence of the nose rings!
"Why should I take it out if it's inconvenient? Tell me! What's the matter?" Roland raised his eyelids slightly and accepted Darien Nightblade's rainbow fart and said.
"Your Majesty! Something is wrong. The orcs seem to have recovered!" Darien Nightblade frowned.
"Haha! When have they ever been paralyzed? They just ran away because we beat them so hard!" Roland was very self-aware. He knew that he and the other members of the coalition had not really defeated those wandering orcs! What was even more worrying was that even if they were wiped out, there would still be a steady stream of orcs heading south along the pioneers' path!
