The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

William and Old John strolled through the small village of Nise, one after the other.

William was calm and relaxed, but Old John was worried.

Old John, I want to set up a guard team. You are responsible for recruiting people. The people you recruit should not be too old or too young. It is best to be between 15 and 25 years old. They are not disabled and have a relatively strong physique. There are relatives and family members in the village! The reward is what I just told Kerry, 25 Puer coins per day, and food included! Let’s recruit 10 people first!” William told the old man the recruitment conditions of the guard team in a leisurely manner. John said.

Yes, Lord Baron! Old John frowned and replied, It's just...

Old John hesitated to speak.

What's the matter, my excellent housekeeper, is there anything we can't talk about? William turned his head and looked at Old John's face.

When Old John first came to Nisai Village, he was full of vigor, but now he looks sad again, with his brows deeply furrowed.

Lord Baron, I think you can moderately reduce the treatment of the guards! Old John suggested.

Why? They will take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the safety of the entire village in the future. I don't think this treatment is high! William said puzzled.

Lord Baron, I am obliged to remind you that before the Harvest Moon comes, we have no income, on the contrary, we have been spending! Old John said out of his heart.

Didn't we sell something too? William retorted.

Yes, Lord Baron, everything is under your eyes. We sold a total of 100 brooms, 80 dustpans, and 120 baskets, and received a total of 1,000 Poole coins. Old John nodded and said, like a treasure .

So, we still have income! William smiled slightly.

But, Lord Baron, we pay more!

We have already spent 1,146 copper coins on buying golden grass from the villagers, and we have spent another 192 copper coins on recruiting villagers to weave.

Lord Baron, after all, we didn't get a penny in the account, but we lost 338 Poole coins.

Old John said, Also, my lord, you have spent 50 copper coins for the villagers to dig a hole.

The villagers will give 2 Puer coins for picking up a basket of feces. Those villagers are like crazy. They have scooped up a layer of land, and sent basket after basket to that pothole. The potholes have piled up like a mountain!

Every time Old John said something, his frown deepened, but the smile on William's face became brighter.

This made Old John very discouraged, My lord, these disgusting excrement, even the untouchables can't avoid it, even the most stupid lord will not spend a lot of money... Please forgive me, my lord, I just temporarily Excited, no offense to you!

Old John suddenly realized that he was calling William stupid. He broke out in cold sweat and quickly admitted his mistake.

Old John, I'm not angry. On the contrary, I know that you are doing it for my own good! That's why I let you take this position. You are a competent housekeeper! Yes, I never doubted this! William said calmly said.

But, Lord Baron, they are useless at all. Instead, we paid 1,000 Poole copper coins for them. Old John said distressedly.

Who says they're useless? Old John! William laughed, Look, it's just a little money...

However, Lord Baron, 1,000 Poole copper coins are quite a lot... Old John corrected, Waste is not a good habit of a lord!

Okay, Old John, it's not a little money. Seeing Old John's serious look, William felt a little helpless, But haven't we harvested a piece of clean land?

When walking, don't worry about stepping on those disgusting things,

Don't worry about smelling a unique smell wherever you go. Take a closer look, old John, this land, with the fragrance of green grass, is as clean as the blue sky! William intoxicated.

But it cost you a thousand pools, and will go on to take every one of your lovely pools. Old John still insisted on that.

It won't be too much, old John. The entire village's inventory has been poached by the crazy villagers. Now is the time for the water to flow! Besides, these little things are not useless at all!

Who would want these things? Old John smiled wryly, thinking that William was lying to him!

Nature will ask for these things, and will bring us rich rewards! William said solemnly.

Nature? My lord, this is not a good time to joke around. Old John said seriously.

It's true, old John! The power of nature is so wonderful, it is these little things that no one looks at, but they can make the barren land fertile and make the output of the land more abundant, not to mention Double the output, but it’s okay to increase the output by a few percent! William said lightly.

But these words made old John's heart turbulent.

In this era, the production of land is related to the fertility of the land.

In order to maintain the fertility of the land, most farmers or serfs adopt the two-field system, which is to divide the land into two parts, about one-third of the land is fallow and left to be covered with weeds, and two-thirds of the land is cultivated.

If this is not done, after a few rounds of rye are planted, the land will be barren, yielding very little rye of very poor quality!

The soil fertility in Nisai Village is not bad, and the ratio of seeds to harvest is about one to four, which means that 1 pound of seeds can yield 4 pounds of harvest.

This harvest ratio has never changed!

That Viscount Glenn also knew a little bit. He harvested the villagers of Nisai Village according to this kind of harvest, so as to maintain his own best interests and ensure the survival of the villagers of Nisai Village.

Although it is hard to survive!

Not a serf, but suffered more than a serf.

Most of the villagers in the small Nisai village are struggling to survive.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

Lord Baron, is what you said true? Old John still couldn't believe it.

Of course! I did the experiment myself! William was sure, this is basic common sense!

William has also observed that weeds do grow more luxuriantly in places where there are natural fertilizers such as manure.

After getting William's affirmative answer, Old John looked around hurriedly.

Old John, what are you looking at?

My lord, such an important secret cannot be known to those pariahs! They will go crazy, and other lords will know about it. The pariahs can't keep secrets! Old John looked cautious.

William laughed, Old John, please, this is not an important matter!

Oh my God! Old John's voice was a few degrees higher, but he quickly reacted, looked around, and found no villagers before he was a little relieved.

Only then did he say to William, Master Baron, this can become an important secret of the Dikas family. It must be passed down from generation to generation. It cannot be so casual!

William's casual attitude was the only thing Old John thought bad about William.

The weaving techniques of baskets and dustpans are passed on at will, and it’s fine for the villagers to learn it, but the secrets that can increase the grain production of the land are so random, it’s too much!

Old John felt that it was necessary and responsible for him to educate William well.

In many cases, a not generous lord is a competent lord.
