After inspecting the condition of the fertilizer base, Luo Ning came to the cabbage garden.
At this moment, he was like a leader who came to the fields to guide the work. Behind him followed Chahar, Wilson, the village heads and group leaders of the four villages, and the farmers in charge of the vegetable fields, a large group of people.
The village chief Rad of Qianjin Village was very nervous because the vegetable field he was inspecting was the one his village was responsible for. If there was anything that did not meet the lord's wishes, he would be in trouble.
"My Lord, our village currently has 80 acres of cabbage planted. The area you are inspecting now is about 10 acres. All of it is planted using the ridge farming method according to your instructions."
Luo Ning nodded. He looked up and saw the cabbage field was full of vitality.
In the morning sunshine, the green leaves sparkle with a healthy luster. They are tightly curled together to form plump round balls.
Due to the division of ridges and furrows, the cabbages in the vegetable field are arranged neatly, as if a group of well-trained soldiers are being inspected.
"Compared to the previous mess, it looks much better now."
Wilson added, "Your method is very clever. Now if we want to weed a certain plot of land, we don't have to walk in the vegetable field like before. We can reach it by standing in the ditch."
"Yeah, well done."
Luo Ning squatted down, dug up the bulbs, and looked at the soil. "It hasn't rained in Shanlin Town recently, right? I think the soil is quite dry. Remember to water it properly."
Wilson quickly looked at Village Chief Rad, as if to say: You were notified yesterday that the leader would come to inspect, why didn’t you water the plants?
The latter suddenly became nervous, "Sir, I will arrange watering today."
“Water appropriately, just keep the soil moist.”
Luo Ning smiled and said, "Also, the fertilizer base now has the first batch of fully decomposed organic fertilizers. You can use the furrow application method to topdress the vegetable fields."
Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces, and Wilson asked in a low voice: "Sir, what is ditch-making?"
Luo Ning dug a small groove at the root of the cabbage and patiently explained: "That's it. Add some fertilizer in the groove and then water it."
"Oh, by the way, Chahar." Roning looked at the castle steward.
"Master, your orders."
"How's the toilet thing going?"
Ronin asked, "Except for the ones in the castle, how many toilets have been built in the town?"
Chahar scratched his head and said, "Sir, each village has built a large toilet. I have asked the village heads to inform the people in each village that those who need help can go to these toilets. Sometimes there are long queues..."
Four or five hundred people share one toilet. It would be strange if there was no queue.
"Tell them that feces can be used as fertilizer to fertilize crops and increase their yields. People who have the conditions can build toilets at home, and the collected fertilizers belong to them and do not need to hand them over to the fertilizer base. In addition, there are not enough public toilets, so more should be built."
Luo Ning said: "Village heads and team leaders must notify farmers to wait a few days before diluting manure water before using it for fertilization. Otherwise, the seedlings may be burned to death."
Roning didn't know much, but in front of this group of people, he could still fiddle with it a little.
Over the years, serfs did not know how to apply fertilizer, partly because they did not use good fertilizers to burn the seedlings, which led them to think that manure was useless.
Now that Roning has taught them how to use it, there will no longer be a problem of the streets being filled with excrement.
In ancient times, collecting night incense was a good job. Every street and alley even had its own power divisions. If you collected beyond your boundaries, it might even cause conflict.
Next, Luo Ning briefed the village chief and team leader in the team about the wheat planting during the spring plowing season next year.
Now the manufacturing of curved plows has caught up with the progress, and each village will be allocated some for use. The ownership of these agricultural tools belongs to Luo Ning, who will increase the intensity of deep plowing.
At the same time, by March next year, the fertilizer base will have a large amount of fully decomposed organic fertilizer. These things can be distributed in advance and applied when cultivating the land.
Although these things were made by Luo Ning with his own money and manpower, and should have been sold to the outside world, it was almost impossible to expect these farmers to pay for the fertilizers.
Based on the principle that most of the increased production belongs to the lord, Roning was not reluctant to give these things away for free.
After inspecting the fertilizer base and vegetable fields, Luo Ning ended his morning schedule.
Back at the castle, Hei Hu was held in the yard to bask in the sun, while Irene sat beside him practicing meditation.
Seeing Luo Ning coming back, Irene stopped meditating, "Brother, you are back. Black Tiger hasn't opened his eyes yet."
"Browning said it should be in the next two days, it should be soon."
Luo Ning sat down on a chair nearby, looked at the girl beside him, and suddenly thought of something.
"Erin, I have something for you to do."
Irene was stunned for a moment, then looked flattered. She was too idle when she came to the castle and there was almost no way she could help.
When she heard that Roning had something to assign to her, she quickly imitated the way other people spoke, "Please give me your orders, my lord!"
"Your mother Jenny has done a great job in educating you. You can read and write at a young age. Now I want you to be a teacher in Shanlinbao and teach David and the others the characters you know."
Irene blinked her big eyes and asked, "Let me be your teacher?"
Her face turned red instantly. She was a thirteen-year-old girl and had to be a teacher for people who were seventeen or eighteen years old, or even older.
"Why, you have no confidence?"
"No, no, I can!"
Irene quickly puffed out her small chest and abdomen, "I'm sure I can teach them to read and write!"
"If you need parchment and ink, you can apply to the castle."
Ronin leaned over and whispered, "If any knight disobeys your teachings, I allow you to hit their palms with a board. If anyone dares to resist, tell me and I will vent your anger for you!"
"good!"
With Roning's support, the little girl was very motivated.
"Bella, you guys follow suit," Roning ordered.
In this world, the monopoly of knowledge is too serious. It is difficult to improve the cultural level of all people. What Roning can do is to learn a little from the people around him first, and then spread it out slowly.
"Sir, Mrs. Bandler asked me to pass something to you." The butler hurried over from outside.
Luo Ning was a little surprised. What did the chef give him? "What?"
Garen took out a dark blue ball about the size of a marble and handed it to Ronin. "It is said that this was obtained by the butcher Dolaron in the kitchen when he was dealing with a storm wolf. He suspected it was a magic core, so he asked Mrs. Bandler to pass it to you."
Magic core?
Luo Ning's heart skipped a beat; he had forgotten about this.
"Distribute the Storm Wolf meat to those who participated in the battle yesterday."
As Luo Ning took the beads, he said, "Especially David. Although he can get out of bed now, he won't be able to swing a sword for at least ten days or half a month. Give him more."
"Okay, sir." After receiving the order, Galen hurried down to make arrangements.
Luo Ning held the blue-black bead in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. This thing, which looked exactly like a marble, was very crystal clear and had a sense of luxury at first glance.
When he was a child on Earth, this "marble" could definitely be exchanged for ten ordinary marbles.
"Hook from the Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce said that magicians can use their mental power to touch the magic core and sense the spell patterns inside it."
He slowly closed his eyes, and as his mental power touched the magic core through his fingers, he was instantly drawn in.
Three spell patterns immediately appeared in Roning's mind.
Two of the spell patterns are cyan, representing the wind attribute; the remaining one is black, representing the darkness attribute.
Roning touched the black spell pattern with his mental power and immediately received feedback - Concealment, the third-level dark magic.
"This should be the key to the Storm Wolf's invisibility."
Ronin's mental power turned to the other two spell patterns, and obtained information one by one:
Speed: Level 3 wind magic;
Tear: Level 4 wind magic; he showed a look of surprise, "It turns out that there are two wind attribute magics that I don't have, and one of them is level 4!"
The book on fighting skills that Lulans gave to Ronin was relatively comprehensive, after all, his opponent was a knight; but in comparison, there was less coverage of magic. The only third-level magic was the Wind of Detection, and there was no magic book on speed.
Recalling yesterday's battle with the Storm Wolf, this speed should be the main reason for the opponent's sudden acceleration.
As for this tear, could it be the tear that tore apart the three rays of light from Ronin's first move? That would be a bit weak.
"However, the spell pattern of this fourth-level magic is much more complicated. Not only does it have 26 spell nodes, but it also has a curved line."
Putting aside his research on magic tearing, Ronin turned his attention to speed magic.
He can learn this.
The speed-up effect of the speed magic is definitely better than that of the light body magic. With the assistance of this magic, Ronin's melee combat level will be improved to a higher level, and it will not be impossible to challenge opponents of higher levels at that time.
