Chapter 133 133. March
Moon Lake, the floating ice on the lake surface began to melt, gradually becoming thinner and thinner, and gradually disappearing.
The bitter cold wind became gentler day by day, and green began to appear on the barren land.
March is a beautiful spring day.
Lovey patrolled the fields, looking at the people working.
The main crop this year is still wheat, and only a small part of other crops such as black potatoes, rice, millet, and hemp are planted.
People regard wheat as the only staple food and don't think of it as anything else.
Especially now that wheat can be made into various kinds of pasta, it has invisibly improved competitiveness.
Lowe could foresee the scene of the granary bursting with wheat.
At that time, the surplus wheat can be used to make wine, feed livestock, or make maltose.
Not like now, where we are restricted.
Last year, if he had wanted to make wine from wheat, Bruno would have been strongly opposed.
Because staple food is directly related to the stability of the territory's political power and to order.
Almost all unrest is caused by lack of food.
On the contrary, as long as there is enough food, there will be no large-scale resistance even if the lord is incompetent.
People’s lowest requirement is always just to have enough food to eat.
As for dressing warmly and living well, they are just the next step and are far less important than having enough food.
Lowe actually wanted to encourage people to grow more cash crops such as hemp, sugarcane, and rapeseed, and he promised a higher purchase price for this.
However, there were few responses.
He considered intervening, but ultimately gave up the idea. Everything was still based on market demand, and he could only play a role in promoting it.
From the suburban fields, return to Donggang City.
During the spring plowing season, there are few idle people on the city streets, and most people are working in the fields.
Most of the city defense forces were deployed outside the city to hunt and drive away dangerous wild animals nearby.
Due to food shortages, there are many conflicts between wild animals and humans every spring. We need to take precautions in advance.
Refugees migrating from Donglin City arrived in Donggang City in waves every day.
They are usually arranged to work in major workshops.
Brick kilns, cement kilns, pottery workshops, and salt pans are open to recruiting workers. Digging sewage canals, coal mining, urban sanitation, and composting also require a large number of workers.
However, most refugees are not very enthusiastic about working in workshops and receiving fixed wages.
They longed to have their own land to cultivate, to get household registration and become subjects, and to settle down from then on.
Bruno promised that these works were only temporary. The land reclamation would have to wait until the weather warmed up and would be arranged uniformly after the early spring rainy season.
There is basically no expectation of grain production in the first year of land reclamation.
Even with fertilizers, it is useless. Only after years of cultivation, when the raw land has adapted to the growth of crops and has become cultivated land, can we consider harvesting.
If you want to plant wheat on wasteland, there is a high probability that you will get no harvest. You will invest two or three kilograms of seeds in the early stage, and harvest a batch of straw in the fall, and lose everything you have.
Smart people will plant some crops that can nourish the land, such as soybeans, in the first few years.
Don't expect much in terms of yield, as long as it can fertilize the fields. "Lanlan, what's wrong with your tail?" Lovi paused and stopped at the door of the Executive Office.
"It's okay, master." Lanlan's eyes wandered.
"Are you okay? Why is your tail like a flagpole?" Lowe suspected that it was because he hadn't stroked it recently, so he suddenly took action.
Lan Lan was frightened and hid aside: "Master, don't!"
"Oh, right." Luo Wei suddenly realized and took his hand away with a wicked smile: "It's already spring."
Lan Lan's pretty face was stained with blood: "Well, it won't be better until July."
A-Ka hugged Lan Lan from behind and said with a grin, “Lan Lan, you are so cute.”
Spring is the season when all things grow.
Most wild animals choose to enter the budding period in spring.
Demihumans are inevitably affected by the blood in their bodies and develop uncontrollable impulses.
Such a choice has certain rationality.
If conception occurs between March and July, the offspring will be born in the spring of next year after a ten-month pregnancy, which will increase the survival rate of the offspring.
Therefore, human reproduction generally tends to occur during this period.
Laudel has lost control of herself lately. We had agreed to perform our husband and wife duties twice a week, but now it's twice a day.
The grain tax was collected every morning and evening without exception.
If Lowe hadn't relied on his youth, it would have been hard for him to bear.
Even so, he was able to hold on thanks to Su Ya's conditioning.
There are so many lovely girls around me, but I am unable to do anything about them.
The distress in his heart was hard to describe in words. "I want to become stronger!"
A set of health-preserving boxing techniques passed down from the panda tribe was performed smoothly. Lo Wei was sweating and felt a little better. His blood circulation started and he felt relaxed all over.
Doing a set of health-preserving exercises every day can help you cope with one more problem a week. These are the words of the panda butler.
Luo Wei thought it was useless at first, but now it seems that it is more than useful! It is simply life-saving! After the blood circulation, the effect of the tonic herbs taken has also improved.
It's a pity that all the nutrients were taken away by Lodel, otherwise... Lovi took the towel handed over by Lanlan and wiped the sweat on his cheeks. It's almost time to recharge the earth guard. He must go to the coal mine every day.
The Earth Guardian must not stop working due to lack of magic power, otherwise it will be activated again and we have to wait for Evelyn to take action.
"Master, can I go to Fulin Department Store?" Xiqi asked.
"Aka, you go with her," Lowe ordered.
A-Ka nodded slowly and solemnly: “Master, take care here.”
The road forks and the two sides part ways.
Regarding the protection of Xiqi, Lovey thought about it for a long time and felt that there was no need to make a big fuss to guard against an unknown enemy that would affect Xiqi's life and the order of the territory.
Sending a Limit Breaker as a guard already has very high security standards, which is enough to show one's importance.
But judging from my mother's performance, the spellcaster who cursed Xiqi was definitely not someone A-Ka could handle.
Delaying time should be possible. Lovi was unsure and told the guard who was accompanying him. The guard understood and trotted away.
About half an hour later, An Ke arrived at the mine.
"My Lord, what do you want from me?"
"I want you to accompany Steward Xiqi in outdoor activities to guard against possible enemies until she returns to Fulin Castle." Lovey stated his request.
"Of course that's no problem." The panda lady agreed readily.
Among the seven limit breakers in Fulin Castle, An Ke is the strongest. It is recognized that he has a strength close to the Saint level, and he once had a glorious record of killing a Tyrannosaurus Rex alone.
Even Lodel was very impressed with Anke's strength and said frankly that it would be difficult for him to surpass her within ten years.
