The Dictatorial Lords

Locke, Duke Ellen and his party went to the fields managed by Lawrence, talking and laughing.

As Orz grew bigger and bigger, Locke divided the business into two parts. One is the business department managed by Hal, which is mainly responsible for the management of caravans and the sale of best-selling items, while Lawrence is responsible for agricultural production. aspect.

Splitting the business department into two parts made the work of both Hal and Lawrence relatively easier. It can also effectively reduce some mistakes that should not be made.

Now the field has set up a gate, which is a wooden fence, mainly to stop curious people from coming to watch.

At the gate of the fence, the guard saw Locke approaching, put down his tea and got up. Salute to Locke.

Locke asked, "Where's Lawrence? Tell him to come here, but a distinguished guest is here today."

"Yes, my lord." The guard asked the people next to him to call Lawrence. Generally speaking, there were two guards. If anyone had something to ask Lawrence, one should report to Lawrence, and the other would continue to guard the door. Of course, Locke was naturally not included.

Locke walked in with Archduke Ellen.

After walking for a while, there are stretches of farmland in sight. Lush green, such a scene is very rare in the Weigerut wilderness.

Grand Duke Ellen saw this and said: "Locke, it's a miracle that you can build such a field in a desert. As far as I know, for hundreds of years, many nobles seem to have the idea of ​​playing in the Waigrett Wilderness. , all failed, haha. You are still better."

Locke smiled. He secretly said in his heart: "This is a seed produced by the system, not to mention the desert. Even the desert can give you a life."

Standing on the endless fields, the group was full of emotion. No, may I ask what kind of tribe in the Waigrett Wilderness has such a field? Still so full of life?

Just when Locke and his party were feeling emotional, Lawrence trotted over and said, "My lord, why don't you come to me today. Haha, you see. I take good care of these farmlands, right?"

Lawrence turned his head to look at Grand Duke Ellen and asked, "This must be Grand Duke Ellen, right? Welcome, this is the food production base of Orz. In the words of the city owner, it can produce whole Food that even Orz needs. Haha."

Hearing what Lawrence said, Grand Duke Ellen asked curiously: "Well, Lawrence, hello. How come there are no serfs in such a large field? Don't these fields need to be taken care of?"

Lawrence, who was born and bred, naturally knew what Archduke Ellen meant. Glancing at Locke, he replied: "The grand duke doesn't know, our fields only need a few people to take care of them. Weeding and other things are also needed in the Weigerut wilderness, haha. Also, I don't want to plant now. In the past. Now, machines are used instead of labor.”

When Locke saw what Lawrence said, he said, "Well, Lawrence is right. These fields are all made of machines. This is also the purpose of our visit this time."

After Locke finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lawrence and said, "Lawrence, this time I brought the Grand Duke here to see how our fields use machinery. Are there any fields to plant now?"

Only then did Lawrence understand why Locke brought the guests here today.

"Yes, my lord, we still have a corn field in the back. Let's go. I'll show you."

Locke and his party followed Lawrence and walked inside.

After walking for a while, turning a corner, I saw this row of large steam machines spreading seeds.

Locke pointed to the planter and said, "Grand Duke Ellen, this is our planting machine. With this kind of thing, no matter whether it is digging the soil or planting, it does not require too many farmers, as long as they can operate these machines. Haha. These machines are so simple that an uneducated farmer can learn them in half a day."

Grand Duke Ellen stood on the ridge of the field, looking at these busy machines, he couldn't help showing a look of love in his eyes.

You know, every nobleman must know what the fields in his territory are like. Now this scene has completely subverted the previous imagination of agriculture. Such a large piece of farmland can take care of the work of dozens or even hundreds of farmers with just a few machines? Even Arianna on the side feels that if this kind of machinery is widely used in her territory, one can imagine how rich the harvest will be every year.

You must know that not every field in the nobleman's territory is planted with food, and some fields are vacant. The reason is very simple, that is, there are not too many farmers. Although the nobles have the final say in their own territory, there are still other things in the territory that require the leaders. Many people like farmers are unwilling to do it.

So the farmland among the nobles is done by some serfs. What are serfs? To put it bluntly, they are civilians who can't survive, and voluntarily sell themselves to nobles as farmers.

If you have this kind of thing instead of serfs in your own territory, wouldn't the vacant fields be able to be planted?

How could the Grand Duke not think of things that Ariana could think of.

The excited Grand Duke Ellen grabbed Locke's arm and asked, "Lock, is this the agricultural machinery you mentioned? It's incredible. How did you come up with this kind of deconstruction? This completely replaces the serf, you just now I didn’t believe it when I said it, but now I see it with my own eyes, and I have to say that the steam machine you launched by Orz is really good. Whether it is the cooperation of the steam wagon ordered by the king this time, I still hope You let this kind of machine work with us. As for the price, you will definitely not suffer.”

Locke withdrew his arm without leaving a trace and said, "Grand Duke Ellen, since I brought you here, we are naturally ready to cooperate. How about it? Look at the efficiency of these machines, haha. Usually it takes a few days or more to use manual labor. What took more than ten days, these machines were solved in such a short day.”

Grand Duke Ellen nodded fiercely and said: "I'm right this time. Haha, even if the king doesn't plan to purchase these things, all the fields in my Ellen's territory must use these things. If all the fields in the whole territory are planted If there is food, then not so many people in our country will starve to death every year. Haha. Those common people are full. They can survive well. The status of our nobles will be more stable."

Speaking of this kind of thing in person, Duke Ellen obviously regarded Locke as a nobleman of his equal status. What do nobles do all their lives? Isn't it to stabilize the status of the nobility in the world?

Zhang Zhao pouted slightly while listening. This is an even more disgusting rule than the Three Kingdoms era. Arianna's eyes glowed. You must know that in Ellen's territory, those civilians are living well. In other unmanageable territories, the peasants at the bottom of society would starve to death every year.

If all the fields in Ellen's territory use this kind of machinery, then large tracts of farmland can play their role.
