A heartwarming daily life farming novel, occasionally also a passionate epic.

After developing fields for growing grain, there are still some mountains that are not suitable for growing grains, but are very suitable for growing some fruit trees.
Loran Hill has a special passion for growing fruit trees.
Perhaps it is the sweet taste of the fruit that is so charming, or perhaps it is the feeling of holding the fruits in one's hands that makes people feel fulfilled and satisfied. Watching the small fruits grow slowly, there is always a sense of anticipation and happiness.
Looking forward to the arrival of the next season, looking forward to another year of harvest, and sharing this rich harvest with friends.
"What kind of fruit does Gweil like to eat?"
Holding her skirt up, she walked carefully along the tilled ridges of the field. The noble girl raised her head and looked at the figure in front of her.
"I don't have any particular favorite or disliked fruit. As long as it's sweet, I'm fine with it."
"Sweet ones? There are so many choices." Loran Hill looked at the terraced orchard.
Although most of the land was distributed to the workers, she still left this piece to Gweil. If everything in the territory no longer belonged to her, she would probably feel lost and uneasy.
Although this piece of land is not big, it can be used to grow some fruits, which can not only meet the consumption of this noble girl, but also earn some pocket money.
"Then let's plant cherries." Speaking of which, when he was a child, Loran Hill's favorite fruit was cherries.
Because there is a cherry tree not far from my hometown, but the cherries there are small, light red cherries, small in size, and have a sweet and sour taste.
Gweil agreed. She also liked cherries, perhaps because this forest only produced a small amount of cherries, which made her very familiar with them.
With Loran Hill's careful preparation, the improved cherry tree seedlings were planted one by one in the mountain fields.
Purple Branch Mountain Cherry (Rare Gold): This improved mountain cherry requires slightly moist, slightly acidic soil. It slowly absorbs the surrounding mana and gradually improves the surrounding environment, making it more suitable for its growth. (It will not produce extraordinary fruit for the first three years. After that, it will gradually produce fruit with extraordinary effects. After nine years, it will produce silver-level extraordinary fruit.)
The fruit can be used to make wine, eat, or create extraordinary potions to improve physical fitness.
Although the effectiveness of this extraordinary crop is not very strong, its advantage is that it does not require much maintenance and will slowly improve its living environment on its own.
Gweil stood beside the knight, watering the soil gently with a kettle in her hand, watching the soil under her feet gradually become moist and form small pits.
"Is this enough?" she asked the adult beside her.
"Well, it's almost there." The girl under the mask nodded.
"Well done, Gweil."
"Thank you." A faint joy rose in Gweil's heart. This was her first time working in the fields.
Although I can't do any heavy work, some simple tasks seem fresh and interesting.
"Take good care of it, it will grow slowly." Loran Hill looked at the lush mountains and fields, and a sense of anticipation gradually rose in his heart.
After completing the development of the fields and orchards, Loran Hill also began to have people integrate the situation within the entire territory.
Viscount Wenlani has a population of about 240,000, with its capital being Georgetown, now renamed Sakura City. There are about 40,000 people living in the city, and there are five small towns under its jurisdiction, each with a population of about 10,000 to 20,000. Surrounding the small towns are scattered villages, dotted among the mountains, rivers, and plains.
The Wenlani family is a viscount family with three barons under them, who are also the lords of three small towns. Now these three lords are staying in their own towns to wait and see the situation. They have neither sworn allegiance to Gwell nor rebelled.
A river flows from northeast to southwest, diagonally passing through a large territory. Yamazakura Castle is located on the north side of the upper reaches of the river, and the other towns are distributed along the lower reaches of the river.
Inside the mansion in the city, a large map was spread out on the table, and several managers of the viscounty were discussing their future goals.
"The barons in these three towns must be eliminated." Guhuas pointed to the three pieces of land with a look of great interest on his face.
"It would definitely be best if we were in charge of everything. We can't let them occupy these places."
"Ahem, if this happens, will it attract the attention of the military? After all, the land of our lords has been taken away without any reasonable explanation." The butler tried to smooth things over. If these three barons were gone, then these two would have the final say in the territory, and he would be nothing.
"Hehe, the military would never care about such trivial matters now. They have already been transferred to the vicinity of Chixin Province to encircle the Red Dragon Princess." Gu Huas is not a person who is isolated from the news. He understands the current situation.
"So, this is actually a very good opportunity. Just give me three hundred warriors and I can easily win. In fact, 10 people will be enough, but maintaining law and order requires more manpower." He patted his solid chest, and it sounded like metal.
This powerful Sequence 6 warrior was like a giant beast in the small southern region, and it was difficult to find an opponent.
"What does Lord Wuming think?" Gweil looked at the silent knight beside her and asked softly. She never expressed her opinion first, she just followed this lord.
"Unification is naturally good." A rusty voice started.
"But the name is important. Ultimately, we need to showcase our vision, not just repeat what has happened in the past."
It is undeniable that the imperial system had its glorious moments in the past. That was the choice of the times.
But everything is gradually changing. When the times have reached this point today, some things are gradually no longer suitable, and people need a new, more progressive social environment.
This is like an old CPU that is no longer suitable for running new, large programs. The increasingly complex and changeable production relations require a more reasonable structure.
The imperial system of the past was suitable for simple farming work, and the society was structured in a hierarchical manner: commoners-knights-nobles-upper nobles-emperor. However, if we enter the industrial age, people will no longer be confined to a narrow piece of land.
Society needs a large number of educated people to carry out technical work, and various industries will continue to be refined and in-depth, 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 above their heads fade.
As people gradually receive education and see the laws of certain things clearly, they naturally no longer believe in the so-called innate nobility, and the irrationality of the past will become more glaring and unbearable.
This is not because they are rebellious, but simply because they cannot allow their wisdom and reason to be humiliated by such low-level tricks.
Facing these people of the new era, what kind of world will you show them so that they will willingly believe and join?
It is so important to paint a picture of the future because only when everyone has hope will they work together, work hard with their hoes or wrenches, and complete their daily tasks.
Because of trust, all good things are born.
